Senate OKs fee increase to distribute newspapers
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students will be able to pick up newspapers other than the Kansan around campus next fall with Student Senate's approval of the newspaper readership program.
Senate approved a student fee increase of $6.50 per student per semester in order to have the Kansas City Star, the Lawrence Journal-World, the New York Times and USA Today available at approximately 20 locations around campus. Ben Walker, student body president, said he'd received overwhelming support for the program.
"Students are seen as people who generally don't care," he said. "This program will make for better informed students because they'll know what's going on in their community. It creates a level of civic responsibility that is lacking right now."
Students would be able to swipe their smart cards in order to access lock boxes with the newspapers. Walker said that the system would ensure that only students — not faculty and staff — would have access to the papers.
Walker cited a survey conducted last month in response to the test pilot program which lasted four weeks at the beginning of the semester. The survey found that 40' out of 201 students surveyed would be in favor of a fee increase of $5 to $10 for the program. It also found that an additional 75 out of 201 students surveyed would be in favor of a $10 increase or more.
Mark Bradshaw, holdover senator, said with only 210 students surveyed, he didn't know whether the survey was representative of the student body.
"I am in favor of the program," he said. "I'm just not in favor of passing it tonight."
A referendum will appear on Senate elections ballots in April. Students will be able to vote on it if they are in favor of the fee increase. If the fee is approved at the state level this month, the program will still be in place in the fall despite the referendum results. In the future, Senate would be able to adjust the program according to the results.
Walker said he was against letting an April referendum decide the fee's fate because the Board of Regents, which must approve the fee increase, meets in March. This would have delayed the program by a year.
"We are a representative body," Walker said. "It's up to us to make these types of decisions."
Bradshaw also cited current problems with smart cards as a reason a delay might be to the benefit of students.
"It gives us more time for the cards to work," he said. "They screw up. They fall apart."
Approximately 5,000 newspapers will initially be distributed. Walker said if the need for more papers arose, the newspaper companies would provide the papers at no additional costs to students.
"They're not making any money here," he said.
However, if there is money left over because students aren't picking up as many papers, it would go to the Senate Media Board and be allocated to campus media groups.
"In theory, yes, it should be up to the constituents," Mills said. "But when you have less than 50 percent of the student body population voting, it doesn't really work."
The fee would come up for review in Senate every three years.
Also last night, Senate failed a bill that would have required senators to meet with their constituency groups three times during the semester.
Last night wasn't the last time Senate will see the bill, though. Justin Mills, holdover senator and co-sponsor of the bill, said he planned to reintroduce it in the next legislative cycle.
Walker, who spoke against the bill, said it was up to the constituents to decide if senators were doing their job, not Senate.
The bill would suspend senators who didn't complete their outreach assignments.

Mills said he saw Walker's point, but he still thought the bill was necessary.
Earthquake rocks Northwest
Students fear families' safety

Kansan staff writer
Several University of Kansas students from the Seattle area, including Rebecca McFall, Federal Way, Wash., sophomore, were jolted by the news of a major earthquake in Seattle yesterday morning.
"My whole family lives up there," McFall said. "The phone lines were jammed and it took me two hours to get through. I was so frustrated. I just needed someone — just one person to talk to — to see if everyone was OK."
The magnitude 6.8 earthquake hit at 10:55 a.m., said officials at the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in
Palmer, Alaska. It injured about 250 people and was centered near Olympia, 35 miles southwest of Seattle.
McFall said her parents were rocked by the onuake.
"My mom teaches in Seattle and she said she was under her desk," McFall said. "But she said the Seattle school districts kept the kids in school. They just calmed the kids down and figured it was the safest place to be."
McFall said her father, a Federal Way, Wash., city manager, had told her that the city made emergency preparations in case an earthquake occurred.
"From the people I've talked to, the city is in good condition," McFall said.
Robin Scullin-Taylor. Seattle freshman, said she found out about the earthquake during class yesterday afternoon.

"I'm a little more worried now than I was before," she said. "I'm worried about my mom because she was in the center of it in Olympia. I just talked to her (Tuesday) night, so it's weird to think about her being there."
Kyle Ramsey/KANSAN
Seoul-Taylor said she contacted the Seattle Red Cross in search of her mom and, because the organization wanted to keep the phone lines open, the two could only speak once the initial frenzy ended.
The tremors caused 9,000 power outages in Seattle as well as reports of building bricks dropping to the streets. Damage is estimated in the billions of dollars.
The Seattle-Tacoma airport was evacuated and closed to inspect for possible damage.
earthquake magnitudes, measures of earthquake size, are calculated from ground motion recorded on seismographs. An increase in one full number, such as 5.8 to 6.8, means the quake's magnitude is 10 times greater.
damage. The quake erupted from 30 miles underground, causing the land to fluctuate in rolling motions. Television stations 140 miles away in Portland, Ore., were inundated with phone calls from viewers reporting these occurrences. Portland office buildings reportedly swayed for 20 to 30 seconds during the quake.
A quake with a magnitude of 6 can cause severe damage, while one with a magnitude of 7 can cause widespread, heavy damage.

One step closer to resolution

Each time the hearings for the 16-year-old driver charged with involuntary manslaughter are postponed, resolution is one step further away than before. The family is learning to cope with the death and learning about the legal process that seems so slow.
Sean Scott, Shawnee resident, was scheduled to appear before the Johnson County District Court at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 14 to set a trial date or enter a plea, but the appearance was rescheduled for 10:30 a.m. today. This was the second time the hearing was continued. The hearing was initially scheduled for Feb. 5, and then continued to Feb. 14.
Bland's family was initially frustrated with the length of the legal process but said they were getting used to it. They are working to keep a positive outlook about the process.
"As far as the legal system part, they seem to think it's pretty standard for this to happen," said Jim Bland, Felicia's husband of eight-and-a-half years. "I guess the defendants have a right to delay and work on their
Bland said he hoped the postponement of the hearing would give Scott enough time to reflect on the incident and admit he did something wrong.
Bland said he was somewhat relieved that the hearing was moved from Valentine's Day, but that the continuances dragged out some of the pain.
The loss is fresh every day, Bland said. He said he would visit the cemetery daily for the rest of his life.
"I don't know how to describe this kind of loss," he said. "For me personally, I've basically lost myself. It's almost like a huge part of you's been ripped out. The old me's basically gone."
"It's frustrating in general because you have to relive this over and over every day," he said. "I relieve every day that night when I heard the news. As long as the trial is unresolved, that's always going to be sticking with me."

Environmental lawyer calls for action, criticizes Bush Administration
By Donny Phillips
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. doesn't believe nature is God, and said it shouldn't be worshipped as such.
But he thinks everyone from lawmakers to the average citizen has a stake in America's environmental destiny.
"Our obligation to the next generation is sustainability," Kennedy, the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, said to a group of 150 law students at Green Hall yesterday afternoon.
The senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council had strong words for industries that ignore or circumvent environmental law and the
new George W. Bush administration which plans to repeal many of the law the companies are evading.
Before delivering his "Our Environmental Destiny" lecture, Kennedy took the reigns of a class for first-year law students.
Kennedy said people who knew of polluters in their neighborhoods should take action. He said citizens had rights to protect their environment, including the right to hold a hearing and to request an Environmental Impact Statement.
He spoke about how he was gathering litigation teams around the country to battle the industrial farming industry,
"They're cutting up the pie that belongs to both you and me," said Kennedy, referring to the Republican-controlled Congress.
Although the Bush administration said repealing federal laws would return control to the states and local communities, he said the real benefactor would be corporations that could manipulate local issues to their advantage.
specifically the pork industry.
He said corporate hog farms were "shattering the fabrics of rural communities" by driving small farms out of business and contaminating local water supplies.
Kennedy said protecting the environment was not about preserving nature for everyone's enrichment.
"We're protecting it for our sake," he said. "We ignore that at our own peril."
Chris Randle, Kansas City, Mo., first-year law student, attended the class Kennedy taught. He said Kennedy made some good points, but didn't appreciate the political jabs Kennedy took at the new president.
Justin Palmer, Lawrence first-year law student, said Kennedy was correct in pointing out how Congress talked about supporting a free market but actually prevented one by giving subsidies to polluters.
"That whole theme was really on the mark," he said.

Seniors to be honored during Sunday's game
Two University of Kansas seniors will be honored for their academic achievements Sunday during halftime at the men's basketball game against Missouri at Allen Fieldhouse.
Scott Ferree, McPherson senior, won a Marshall scholarship, and Stephanie Sprague, McPherson senior, was a state finalist for a Rhodes scholarship.
Ferree, also a Mitchell scholarship finalist, is one of eight KU students named Marshall scholars since 1953. The University has had 23 students named Rhodes scholars since 1903.
Barbara Schowen, director of the honors program, said being nominated for those scholarships was already an honor, but getting to higher stages was a feat.
The Marshall scholarship provides up to $50,000 a year for a maximum two years of graduate study in Great Britain.
The Rhodes scholarship provides two years of study at Oxford University in England, and the Mitchell scholarship pays for a year of study in Ireland.
$1.5 million donated to Engineering school
The University of Kansas will receive $1.5 million from two alumni to build a multimedia auditorium in the School of Engineering's new building.
Charles and Mary Spahr will finance the 230-seat multimedia facility, which will have cable and satellite capabilities at a cost of $1 million.
The other $500,000 will be used to set up an endowment to maintain the auditorium and to upgrade its technology in the future.
"They have been very generous to the school," Locke said.
Carl Loke Jr., dean of engineering, said the Spahrs helped the school improve the quality of the education it offered throughout the years.

Spahr, who retired as chairman and chief executive officer of Standard Oil Corp., received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the University of Kansas in 1934. His wife attended the University in 1938.
Enrollment center gets rewired, new software
The University of Kansas enrollment center is receiving a cosmetic and functional overhaul.
Dan Consolver, director of academic technology services, said renovations in the enrollment center, 150 Strong Hall, should make the enrolment process easier for students.
Rewiring will support the new PeopleSoft enrollment software. The software allows the center to keep student records, such as grades, transcripts and enrollment information in one area.
The program will also allow online enrollment in the future, Consolver said.
"The driving force behind this work is to make the enrollment center better to handle enrollment and serve students better," he said.
Construction by B&A Green Construction Company will be completed before enrollment begins April 6, said company president Tracy Green.
Green said work would include installing floor panels to allow easy access to the floor wiring. Workers also will paint the room and install central air conditioning and new doors.

Gas mining industry awaits Hutchinson cause
TOPEKA — An international industry is waiting on Kansas to discover why natural gas leaked from underground salt caverns and escaped to the surface, causing deadly explosions.
The Senate Utilities Committee discussed yesterday soliciting an independent investigation to bring answers to the industry and to the people of Hutchinson.

An international mining official told the committee Tuesday development in Germany and France was on hold. Life in Hutchinson is on hold, too. Supreme Court Davis Kraig said.
"It might help bring closure to the issue of 'is it safe to live in Hutchinson?'" said Kerr, R- Hutchinson.
On Jan. 17, natural gas leaked from a storage facility seven miles northwest of Hutchinson, built up under the city and erupted above the surface. Explosions killed two people in a mobile home park and destroyed two downtown businesses.
Proposed keg trace law stalls in state committee
The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee has delayed a vote on a bill that would require liquor stores to keep track of who buys beer kegs. Members said they had too many questions.
TOPEKA — A proposal on beer kegs hasn't tapped enough support yet to get out of committee.
Some members wondered how the new law would be enforced and whether it would accomplish its goal of reducing underage drinking. They also questioned whether cities would
have the authority to exempt themselves from such a law, rendering it toothless.
The bill is aimed at discouraging adults from buying beer beers for parties where underage drinkers are present. Critics suggest it wouldn't prevent underage drinking and would open liquor store owners to lawsuits.
Under the measure, stores would have to put identification numbers on containers of more than 4 gallons of beer and record who buys them. Law enforcement officials could check a store's record if they busted a beer bash and no one claimed the keg.
Rappers claim innocence in radio-station shooting

NEW YORK — Two rappers linked to a shootout outside a Greenwich Village radio station broke their silence yesterday, saying they were not involved.
"We're very sorry this situation occurred," Capone-N-oreaga said in brief a statement released by their publicist. "(We) had nothing to do with the shooting."
Kiam "Gapone" Holley and Victor "Noreaga" Santiago said they "are cooperating fully with the police, and hope that whoever is responsible for this is brought to justice."
Police said they believed the shooting happened Sunday as Lil' Kim was leaving the studios of Hot 97, WQHT, and Holley was arriving. More than 20 shots were fired from five guns, leaving one man in Capone-N-Noreaga's group wounded.

Clinton waives privilege, Rich refuses to testify
WASHINGTON — To convince Congress he has nothing to hide, former President Clinton said three of his closest ex-ades were free to tell a House committee whatever they wished about the clemencies he granted in his last hours in the White House.
Clinton has waived his claim to executive privilege, which could have kept his former aides from telling lawmakers everything they know about the pardon of billionaire Marc Rich. Rich lived in Switzerland since just before he was indicated in 1983 on charges of tax evasion, fraud and making illegal oil deals with Iran.
While Clinton decided Tuesday to let his aides testify freely, Rich declined to be a witness before the House Government Reform Committee, which is trying to determine whether money played a role in the presidential pardons of Rich and others.

Students can search the databases of a company called Community of Science (www.cos.com) for research grants, fellowships, conferences, training and materials.
Bill Sharp, workshop organizer and KU liaison to COS, said the services were free if accessed from campus computers or those with a KU dial-in account.
The University has subscribed to the online service since 1996, but members of the campus community may not be aware of its existence.
"the problem is to get the word out that this is available," he said.
Users can access public and private funding sources available to undergraduates, graduate students and faculty researchers.

Capital cases rare in Kansas
Pitt State murder lone case example in Supreme Court
By Sarah Warren
writer@kansas.com
Kansas staff writer
Today is the National Day for the Abolition of the Death Penalty. But in Kansas, the state has yet to execute anyone since the penalty was reinstated.
In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its ruling in the Furman vs. Georgia case, which invalidated laws of capital punishment in all states. But in 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court began to approve new, more carefully written capital punishment laws. Kansas reinstated capital punishment in 1994.
Tiffany Ball, public information officer for Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall, said Gary Wayne Kleypas was the only defendant in a potential death penalty case that had reached the Kansas Supreme Court.
"There are three other men who have received a sentence of capital murder in the state of Kansas since it has been reinstated," Ball said. "But none have made it as far as the Kleypas case."
Kleypas has appealed his conviction in the 1996 murder of Carrie Williams, a 20-year-old Pittsburg State University student. His appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court was heard on Dec. 6, 2000, but the verdict has not been decided.
"Because of the nature of this case and the seriousness of the case, the jury is taking its time with the decision." Ball said.
Karen Keith, president of Amnesty International, said the Kleypas case could greatly influence the nature of capital murder
cases in Kansas.
"This will definitely set the precedent," the Tulsa, Okla., sophomore said. "It will mean a lot to people concerned with capital punishment."
Kyle Browning, Overland Park senior and vice president of Amnesty International, said he attended Kleypas' appeal hearing in December. He said at that hearing some issues about the death penalty were raised by Kleypas' attorneyvex.
"One of the points that they brought up was that there currently is no procedure to execute someone in Kansas." Browning said. "How can we kill someone if we don't have a procedure to do it?"
Jonathan Sternberg, Leawood junior, said he hoped if Kleypas was convicted and executed the state would be more apt to consider the death penalty in capital murder cases.
"Kansas hasn't used the death penalty often, but I should hope that if this man is put to death, that it would set a precedent for those sorts of crimes," Sternberg said. "If someone was killed, why shouldn't the perpetrator be killed?"
Although Kansas does have the death penalty as a sentencing option, the state does not have a life-sentencing option, Ball said.
Keith said it was absurd Kansas had the death penalty and not a life-sentencing option.
"There's no reason for that to be. They can't even use the money issue because it costs more for a capital trial and execution than it does to support someone in the penal system," he said.
Sternberg agreed there should be a life sentence option.
"I am entirely in favor of the death penalty, it is retribution for certain types of crimes," he said. "But for secondary murder and manslaughter, I think that certainly constitutes a life sentence."

Students forego dental visits
Lack of insurance, laziness are problems
By Livi Regenbaum writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Tara Carruth says she does not go to the dentist often.
"I go pretty much once a year over break since I do not know any dentists in town that are covered by my insurance," Carruth, Cottonwood Falls junior, said.
Linda Nelson, insurance administrator at dentist Paul Kincaid's office. 306 E. 23rd St., said students often were covered by their parents' insurance.
Brebcca Barrett, graduate teaching assistant, said dental coverage was not available for GTAs, which posed problems.
tists said missing checkups could pose problems.
Trips to the dentist are one of the last things on many students' minds. But local den-
Kerri Lawlor, a Lawrence dentist who practices at 4102 W. 6th St., said a lack of dental visits could cause diseases, cavities and tooth decay. She said students should visit a dentist every six months.
"It is an important foundation for keeping teeth for a lifetime," she said.
Patrick Moriarty, a Lawrence dentist at 3514 Clinton Parkway, said for students who didn't see a dentist regularly, the occasional visit could be costly.
He also said students should be aware of caffeine and sugar.
"Students drink pop like it is water," he said. "This promotes tooth decay. Pop is acidic and acid destroys the enamel on the teeth."
Moriarty also recommended students get their wisdom teeth removed at an early age

to avoid difficulties
Students should get their wisdom teeth out between the ages of 16 and 22," he said.
"The longer those things are deferred, the more difficult they are to remove."
Melissa Jabbour, Olathe sophomore, said she went to the dentist yearly.
"I probably should go more but do not out of laziness," she said.

Cause of fire still being investigated
By Cynthia Malakasis

Kansan staff writer
The fire department received an alarm about the fire at 1.02 a.m. yesterday morning. Barr said an individual who was operating a road grater noticed the fire and called 911.
Arson has not been ruled out as a possible origin of yesterday's fire at the former Phi Kappa Theta chapter house at 1941 Stewart Ave., said Rich Barr, fire marshal for the Lawrence Fire and Medical Department.
Barr said arson was a possibility, because the house was vacant and utilities had been turned off.
The house has been vacant since June 1.
Chris Vetter, Shawnee senior and president of Phi Kappa Theta, said the chapter had vacated the house because lack of finances had prevented them from meeting certain safety standards.
"We did not meet fire code regulations because we did not have sprinklers at every room," he said.
Vetter said the chapter was planning to move back into the house as soon as they raised enough money to meet the standards. He said the fire caused additional financial burdens and would make it more difficult for the chapter to move in.
Barr said the cause of fire could have been accidental, perhaps caused by someone who was not supposed to be there and was building a fire for warmth or lighting a candle.
In that case, Barr said, the individual would be guilty of trespassing.
An early estimate of damages comes to $300,000. Barr said there was some furniture left in the house, as well as personal belongings in some of the rooms.
Vetter said a third of the roof and the third floor of the house sustained serious fire damage, and there had also been water damage.
He said nothing of real value belonging to former residents had been left in the house.
Barr said the fire department was still investigating the incident and a full report could be available today.

Christianity fails to stay relevant in modern times
This semester finds me bright-eyed in Smith Hall every Tuesday and Thursday for Living Religions of the East and a women's studies course, From Goddesses to Witches. As I ponder the religions and culture of other times and places, I turn with scrutiny to Christianity.
I've been straddling the line between feminist, independent-thinking college student and born-and-raised Christian for years. This semester, my professors are doing a superb job of continuing to fuel the fire of my internal conflict.
While studying various
While studying various religious traditions, I have realized that religions echo society and culture. Society years for a belief system that mirrors its established priorities and customs. Through time, religion and society become mutually influential. It becomes difficult to discern whether society was the original image or just the reflection of religion.

This happens because the society no longer has a fresh effect on the religion; because of their desire for tradition, humans often cling to a religious structure long after it becomes outdated in modern society.
The male-dominant culture during and before the development of Christianity produced a male savior and mostly male authorities. Christianity originates from a culture that suppressed female deities and wiped out traditions of goddess worship — goddesses most often from pantheistic traditions. It is based on a single male entity and includes a moral foundation that men created. Women in the Bible reflect the gender roles they played in society; they reflect the absolutist madonna whose dichotomy that pervaded the times.
Although it is lovely to share a tradition with your ancestors and share in the community of a popular religion, it also hinders social change to cling to a belief system that represents antiquated (and for many, offensive) ideals.
But the Bible contains many good morals, you say. Yes, but it also contains many inconsistencies within those morals and often presents a morality that seems perverted. Sex is dirty, women who have sex are dirty, homosexuals are punished through God's wrath, and we all enter the world with the mark of sin thanks to the prototype woman Eve.
in biblical times, childbirth often brought death for the mother. And women were physically disadvantaged because of the great physical burden of delivering multiple children. Biological differences between the sexes were exploited in biblical society.
Other gender differences were exploited in societal traditions, such as inheritance and property rights. Regardless, knowing that fertility in the past was much more difficult to control and predict, we can understand at least why sex was mysterious and stigmatized
However, understanding a biblical perspective and agreeing with it can be polar opposites.
Times change and will continue to change. The Bible is limited in scope, but we aren't limited to that time period anymore. Why should women — or anyone, for that matter — continue to follow traditions in which they had a submissive, powerless role? Do former slaves venerate the tradition in which they were enslaved?
I am superimposed on a past and future that seem like black and white justuptosed. If I reject Christianity, do I stop celebrating holidays and participating in marriage and funeral ceremonies? I would find that very difficult.
I think that the Bible fails half of the population. Mary, the most important female figure of Christianity, portrays the ideal woman as a virgin and the vessel of the all-important savior. I know she is not the ideal woman figure for me.
I still have one foot in Christian tradition, one foot in my own theology. This isn't an easy path because our society, as well as my life, is based in Christianity.
Maybe I will never find a tradition in which I find spiritual comfort. Maybe I will continue my current shaken-not-stirred mix of transcendental philosophy in which I find morals and truth in art, books, people and music — and my selective rejection of Christian tradition.

National missile defense won't make world safer
Since George W. Bush became president last month, he has moved quickly to implement many of the policies that he touted during his run for the White House.Most recently, he has begun a push for a national missile defense system to protect us from intercontinental nuclear missiles.
I wonder exactly what country Bush imagines as a nuclear threat to the United States. Foreign relations with Russia have improved steadily from Gorbachev's era through Putin's.
Military experts no longer place the threat of nuclear attack on Russia but on so-called rouge state. A Feb. 20 story by the Associated Press named North Korea as a possible threat, yet this does not recognize how drastically North Korea's politics have pacified in recent months. A Korean reunification now seems inevitable.
PANDEK MALIK
Conventional alternatives bring Iraq to mind, despite the likelihood that it couldn't manage any mili-mil
ary operation while under continued U.S. surveillance. Or Bush might worry about Osama bin Laden, the Arab bogeyman high on the U.S.'s list of the world's most dangerous people. But his terrorist acts also attract the perpetual attention of the U.S. military. A missile defense system makes no sense because the U.S. keeps constant watch over the enemies it fears.
Matthew Reeck
guest columnist
opinion@kansan.com
So perhaps the argument behind the proposal is not so specific but relies upon a general threat of terrorism. Politicians like to use the word "terrorism" to generate fear. We like to think that our country, alone in the world, should remain immune from terrorism. We think of terrorists as foreigners. By a paranoid inverted logic, we tend to suspect those who look foreign might well be terrorists — the prejudice behind police profiling of Arab Americans. Ironically, the most deadly act of terrorism in our history came at the
hands of Timothy McVeigh, a Midwesterner.
We ought to consider why (allowing the threat to be credible) we have so angered parts of the world as to require protecting ourselves with a $30 to $60 billion network of military machinery
$30 to $60 million network of military machinery. The U.S. has a worldwide reputation for its economic prowess. Promoted by multinational companies based in the U.S., global capitalism has spread with great impartiality. Investigations into the labor policies of Nike and the Gap have revealed that U.S. companies exploit foreign workers — they build overseas factories in order to manufacture goods at fractions of the cost possible in the U.S. Perhaps if our government and companies were less interested in turning a dollar regardless of the human toll, regardless of the cost on human lives, we would inspire less ice.
Bush's promotion of a national missile defense system seems grounded in loose information. Anyone on the street can tell you the cause of racism — or of any bigotry, for that matter — lies in ignorance; when you bring two unfamiliar groups together, conflicts dissipate. I wonder how ignorance (a lack of knowledge, not necessarily stupidity) contributes to Bush's projects. I remember his disastrous performance on the impromptu foreign relations quiz during his campaign. A missile defense system necessarily requires a person to believe that people of different cultures have irreconcilable differences held in check only through military intimidation. This perspective seems shortsighted, at best.
The recent trend toward globalization means that all countries are reliant on one another's economic well-being for their own. A government attacking the United States would be sabotaging itself. A more humane approach to reducing anti-American sentiment in the world would be for U.S. businesses abroad to treat their employees with greater care and for U.S. companies to curtail their global expansion.
Both scenarios would require U.S. consumers to pay more — $120 for a pair of Gap jeans purchased locally instead of $60 billion for a network of national military hardware.

Editorial Rec center planners need student input
An upcoming meeting will allow students a chance to shape the new facility.
A new recreation center at the University of Kansas is slated to open in the fall of 2002. Students should voice their opinions to ensure the center will reflect their needs.
There is a lot of room for student input, and the Recreation Center Program Committee wants it. Students should attend the committee's next meeting Monday, March 12 at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union.
In a referendum two years ago, students voted overwhelmingly in favor of paying several dollars more in fees per semester to finance a new recreation center. Part of the reason for this is that Robinson Center no longer meets students' needs — it's open too few hours each day and lacks space and equipment for the students and faculty members who want to exercise there.
In a university setting, many support systems aid the development of each student, both academically and otherwise. Some campus organizations combine social events with a specific cause. Other facilities such as the libraries and computer centers aid students academically.
Entertainment and health are equally essential elements of student life. A recreation center is one more way for students to make their experience at the University the best possible.
The recreation center, which will be built south of Watkins Memorial Health Center, is set to include a track, gymnasium, aerobics/martial arts area, two racquetball courts, two outdoor basketball and volleyball courts, a climbing wall, spaces for sports clubs, a multimedia lecture room, a conference room and a food court.
We students are the reason the center will be built. It's our money that will finance its construction, so it's our investment. Students should think about what they want to see at the new center and voice their opinions at the committee's meeting to influence the final plans.

Departments change locales
Offices moved into Bailey Hall
By Andrew Davies
By Andrew Davies
writerv.kansan.com
Kansas staff write
Departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have moved into new offices.
The department of African and African-American studies, the African Studies Resource Center and the department of communications are now located in Bailey Hall.
Previously, the African and African-American studies department was located in Lippincott Hall, and the communications department was located in Wescoe Hall.
Erin Spiridiglozzi, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said each department's move had gone smoothly, except for routine hassles.
"It's your normal stress that's related to typical kinds of moves," she said.
Spiridigliozzi said each move had to be planned around renovations in Bailey Hall. Workers are installing new carpeting, adding a fresh coat of paint and installing telephone lines and computer networks.
Peter Ukopodku, chairman of the African and African-American studies department, said the department completed its move in January.
Ukpokodu said the department posted notices and instructed faculty to note in their syllabi and inform students the department had moved its offices.
Upkododu said this was the first time the department had been in one place. Previously, the department had offices in Nunemaker, Wescoe and Lippincott halls.
The communications department completed its move from Wescoe to Bailey last week.
Robert Rowland, chairman of the department, said the move was coordinated well and the process went smoothly.
Most students were aware of the move, he said.
Christy Ahl, Topeka senior, said only a few students might not know about the move.
Like the African and African-American studies department, the communications department posted notices and had teachers announce the move in class.
"It's probably mainly the students who don't show up to class and didn't hear we were moving," she said. Rowland said teachers were better prepared to accommodate students with the larger space.
"We're better able to provide space for GTAs and faculty to be able to meet with students," he said. "It's better configured for us meeting with students, doing our research and other things."
Family hopes time helps courts

resolved so we can get on and work with what we've got, but at the same time we also want things done right."
One of the biggest inconveniences when the date was rescheduled was making sure the 20 family members who wanted to attend found out about the cancellation before leaving for the courthouse. Bland said.
Richard Ramos, Bland's brother, said he was hurting, too, and would like to see resolution, but he understood that the plaintiffs and defendants had rights that must be respected.
"Sure, we get frustrated," he said. "But the deal is that some things you can't change, and you don't want to damage or inhibit the process any more than it is."
Ramos and Bland said the district attorney's office in Johnson County had done a good job keeping them informed about the case and its status.
John Fritz, assistant district
attorney, said Scott's attorney,
Tom Bath, had requested the continuance,
which the court granted.
"It is thought by all parties that the extra time will give the juvenile and his family the time they need to decide the best course of action for them." Fritz said.
Bath could not be reached for comment.
Fritz said the elapsed time was "pretty standard." He said if Scott were in adult court, the process would probably be longer. If an attorney in the adult division requested a continuance, the next date probably would be set for at least six weeks later. Fritz said the juvenile division actually had more room in its docker than the adult division did.
Scott is being prosecuted as a juvenile, Fritz said. He said he doubted that would change, although the possibility still existed.
Brenda Cameron, an assistant district attorney who is working on the case with Fritz, said the judge commonly made certain that
everyone was ready to proceed.
Meanwhile, Felicia's family continues to adjust.
Bland said he was still finding out ways his wife helped people. When he set up an educational trust fund for Felicia's daughter, checks arrived from around the world. He is currently compiling notes he has received from others about his wife after her death, and printing the packet requires about two hours.
"Her achievements of what she did for others can't be put in a book," Bland said. "It's hard to describe what kind of person she was."
Now that Felicia's gone, Bland said he had changed his mind about who the real heroes were.
"I used to think before this that the people who were my heroes were people who stood out and did big things, like generals or leaders," he said. "When I rethink it, I would have to say it would be her because of her commitment to people."

Special to the Kansan
Competition is fierce, pay is low,
work is only on weekends and nothing
is guaran-
ing is guaranteed.
Welcome to the unstable life of a professional golfer.
Conrad Roberts.
Lawrence senior, expects no guarantees.
PETER BURGESS
In his third year on the Kansas men's
Roberts: "You've got to play well to get your money."
golf team, the Wales native faces a major change in his life after graduation — going pro.
"The competition side of things will be a lot more intense when you're actually playing for a dollar," Roberts said. "You've got to play well to get your money."
Roberts left Wales at the age of 21
as the Match Play Champion, coming to Kansas to attend Bethany College in Lindsborg on a golf scholarship.
After a year of adjusting to the organization and geography of American golf, Roberts moved to Lawrence and approached Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall, hoping to earn a spot on the team. Three years later, Roberts will finish as a starter on a Top 20 Division I team.
Despite those achievements, uncertainty looms.
Going pro may sound like a guaranteed future, but unlike other sports, pro golf doesn't promise paychecks.
“It’s like any amateur athlete that takes the step to be a professional.” Roberts said. “You have to step up your game.”
Roberts hopes to step up his game by playing regularly for two years before getting a qualifying attempt at the PGA Tour School.
Traveling in neighboring states after his collegiate career is finished
would save on expenses, which are out-of-pocket for pro golfers. It would also keep Roberts close to home while his wife of two years, Bethany, finishes law school.
"It's a team effort right now, my wife and myself," Roberts said. "We've talked about this since I met her. She always knew what my goal was."
If golf takes him far from Lawrence, separation won't be new to Roberts and his wife. They have dealt with distance throughout their relationship, as Roberts travels both to visit his family overseas and with the Kansas golf team.
Facing marital challenges is only one stage in developing his career.
"Now it's just a matter of taking the next step." Roberts said...
The immediate step is onto the green with the 2001 version of the Kansas men's golf team.
As one of four seniors for the Asyhawkens, Roberts has proven his spot on the team as a scholarship player. In 1999, he ended the season
After the Jayhawks' first tournament this year — the Rice Intercollegiate on Feb. 12 to 13 in Katy, Texas — Roberts finished in fifth place on the team with a threeday total of 227.
with the team's fifth-lowest stroke average at 75.
"His scoring average says he is not ready, but when Conrad plays well, he is very competitive," Randall said.
Randall, in his 22nd year as coach of the Jayhawks, has seen some of his players make it professionally in the past. Ten of Randall's former players have thrived in the pros, but he is realistic about the hardships in store for Roberts.
Roberts is perfectly aware he has a long way to go. He still knows there are no guarantees, and the task ahead is overwhelming. But he has risen to the occasion in the past, and his confidence is not shaken.
"I believe I can," he said. "I have to believe it."

Let fans surround court to have better impact
As a Kansas alumnus, I wholeheartedly agree with Ben Tatar's article ("Instil Jawhawk pride — give good seats to real fans," Feb. 27). It is an utter shame the court is not "surrounded" with the loyalty, emotion and charisma shown on a nightly basis by primarily the one corner of Allen Fieldhouse.
As an individual who sat, oops, I mean stood at a large number of basketball games in the past, I have always been frustrated by the fact that the students, who are the real sixth man in the gym, are not able to have the greatest impact on the game by being heard and felt in a 360 degree way. It is no

Good luck to you, Mr. Tatar, I remember a similar cry in the mid-80s that never garnered any steam, but your heart is certainly in the right place.
tum, you may find some support at the University of Iowa. The seating at Kansas is a far cry from the geriatric ward that Iowa games once were. When Steve Alford came, he rearranged the student seating. I don't know if they went as far as you are proposing.
At any rate, good luck. This alumnus (who hasn't made it back to Kansas since 1986) is behind you all the way.

Bad seats worth more than bad company
Jeremy Kornis,
I think you should fight this student seating project to the end. I
1985 Kansas graduate
worked and scrounged for money for months to get a couple of reserved tickets to the Kansas-Texas game in the fieldhouse. After my friend I got to our seats, we were so happy they were so close to the floor. But once the pregame chants got going, we realized something — no one around us was participating.
At that time I looked at my friend and I uttered some words I never thought I would say, "Hey man, you think there are any general admission seats left?"

Duke center sidelined, will miss finale game
DURHAM, N.C. — Duke center Carlos Boozer will miss the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament because of a broken foot.
Boozer fractured the third metatarsal in his right foot during the No. 2 Blue Devils' 91-80 loss to Maryland on Tuesday.
The injury will keep him out of Sunday's regular-season finale game against North Carolina and the ACC tournament March 8-11 in Atlanta. The 6-foot-9, 270-pound center's status will be determined after the conference tournament
"We're optimistic that Carlos can return for the NCAA tournament," said Duke coach Mike Krzyszewski.
The Juneau, Alaska, native has averaged 14 points a game this season.
Chiefs release Grbac say demand 'excessive'
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterback Elvis Gracb will become a free agent, Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced last night.
"We have been informed by Elvis Grbac's agent, Jim Steiner, that Elvis wants to pursue the free agent market and would prefer to play somewhere else." Peterson said in a statement.
Negotiations had produced one offer from Steiner of a fiveyear contract averaging $8 million a year, including a $20 million signing bonus, the Chiefs said.
NFL
"We believe that to be excessive, even for the quarterback position," Peterson said.
No other contract proposals were made by Steiner, the Chiefs said.
Backup quarterback Todd Collins is under contract through the end of the 2002 NFL season. Peterson said the team would also pursue the free agent market.
Grbac signed with Kansas City in 1997 as an unrestricted free agent from San Francisco.
In 49 regular season games with Kansas City, he completed 897 of 1,548 passes (57.9%) for 1,0643 yards with 66 touchdowns and 47 interceptions.
Gbrae has played in 92 games with 56 starts in eight NFL seasons with the Chiefs and 49ers.
He completed 1,181 of 1,978 passes (59.7%) for 13,741 yards with 84 TDs and 63 interceptions.
In other moves yesterday, the Chiefs also released cornerback James Hasty and defensive tackle Chester McGlockton.
Grabc, who has a 31-23 record as an NFL starter, was an eighth-round draft pick by San Francisco in 1993
from Michigan.
Bills save $1.4 million by keeping Johnson
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills have decided to cut Doug Fletit and go with Rob Johnson as their starting quarterback.
The decision settles a long-brewing controversy that divided the team and its fans about which of the two quarterbacks who were brought in three seasons ago should be the starter.
The Bills were forced to make a decision mostly for salary cap reasons as they had to cut almost $8 million off their payroll in time for today's 4 p.m. deadline.
by cutting Futile instead of Johnson, the Bills save about $3 million in cap dollars, about $1.4 million more than they would have saved by cutting Johnson.
Flutie, who went 21-9 as a starter with the Bills, was one of the team's most popular players. But he turns 38 in October, which put him at a disadvantage.
Johnson is only 27 and is considered to have the stronger arm.

Game elicits memories of more intense in-state rivalry
MANHATTAN — Kansas fans in Bramlage Coliseum had to think they were in the Fieldhouse last night.
Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't referring to the home of the Jayhawks. Instead, the Sunflower Showdown brought me back to Ahearn Fieldhouse, Kansas State's former home. You know — the place K-State could beat its in-state rival.
I had visions of Norris Coleman and Danny Manning squaring off in Ahearn in 1987. I was in third grade, and my bedtime was long expired when the Jayhawks pulled out an 80-75 double-overtime victory.
It seems strange that 14 years ago students at both schools could be heard shouting "Wait 'til basketball season."

There was a time when this series was a rivalry, when K-State was a sellout. No, not sellout as in Aerosmith sold out to MTV — fans at both schools had to hope they'd luck out and snag tickets for a Kansas-K-State game in Lawrence and Manhattan in the '80s.
Bramlage had a good crowd last night, but it still wasn't Ahearn.
Quit writing about K-State, you say. Who cares about that "Old Barn"?
KANSAS 0 STA
Kansas would have never had this amazing streak of 18 straight victories in Manhattain if Ahearn Fieldhouse was still K-State basketball's venue.
People who appreciate the tradition of an old structure such as Allen Fieldhouse should.
In the days of Missouri's Hearnes Center and Oklahoma's Lloyd Noble Center, a distinguished arena is refreshing.
But as much as I want to remember rivalry glory days, it's time to accept Bramlage Coliseum. Our rival school made renovations to the structure, adding a new scoreboard with jumbotrons and giving a facelift to the arena's concourse and area above the stands.
Bramlauge was loud last night, as students all wore the same school color and watched the game courtside — not behind the baskets as in Allen Fieldhouse.
Lionberger is a Washington, Kan., senior in journalism.
"We have a coach we like," said Josh Stockebrand, a K-State junior from Yates Center.
But as much power a team's home-court possesses, a team has to have the personnel to utilize its own house.
And the team that calls it home made strides in starting up a rivalry again. The Wildcats gave the Jayhawks fits until the final minutes of Kansas' 77-65 victory, and that amazing Kansas winning streak in Manhattan has lasted another year.
K-State coach Jim Wooldridge has his team headed in the right direction. The Wildcats defeated then-No. 22 Missouri and then-No.19 Iowa in Manhattan earlier this season, and Wooldridge should have had another home victory against then-No. 22 Oklahoma.
So maybe this rivalry is as rejuvenated as the players.
"Coach Wooldridge gets these guys fired up," said Jon-Joseph Armstrong, Muscotah freshman.
The Jayhawks have a similar situation. Their coach gets fired up, and it's safe to say he's been pretty successful.
With that in mind, I'll stray from the rivalry talk and K-State's possible return to success. The Wildcats are 9-17, while the Jayhawks are 22-5. And the 'Hawks have that 18-game winning streak in Manhattan.
Whatever happens, enjoy it. This state might be able to hold two strong teams in the near future, and there's nothing like a good rivalry. But another 18 victories in Manhattan wouldn't be so bad, either.
More damage at Bramlage
'Hawks beat Wildcats extend win streak at Manhattan to 18
MANHATTAN — After threestraight blowouts in the streak, last night's Battle at Bramlage returned to its roots with a classic nip-and-tuck war.
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
It didn't rewrite the history books — just added to them — as No. 10 Kansas extended its domination on Kansas State's home court to 18 straight victories by downing the Wildcats at Bramlage Coliseum. 77-65.
"It's a great feeling," said senior center Eric Chenowith, who never lost a game at K-State in his four years. "I'm not a big K-State fan by any means. I've seen guys do it before me, never losing here, so for myself to do it is a great feeling."
The Jayhawks (22-5, 11-4 Big 12 Conference) weren't feeling so good early on, though.
It was a cat fight from the opening tip as the lead changed six times in the first five minutes before K-State (9-17, 3-12) opened a 13-7 lead — its biggest of the game. Quentin Buchanan scored nine points for the Wildcats during that stretch, aided by seven Kansas turnovers.
By then, Kansas coach Roy Williams had seen enough.
He cleaned the slate and inserted key reserves Brett Ballard and Jeff Carey, as well as backups Chris Zerbe, Todd Kappelmann and Lewis Harrison, seven minutes into the game. As the starters watched, the reserves
trimmed the deficit to 13-12 as Zerbe sank two free throws and Ballard nailed a trey.
"We got them a 5-0 run, so coach was happy with us, and I think we kind of sparked them, so we did our job," Harrison said.
Williams' message to his regulars was received. Jeff Boschese, Bryant Nash, Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Chenowith returned to the floor two minutes later and finished an 11-5 run when Boschese sank a deep three-pointer. That put the 'Hawks ahead 23-18 with six minutes left in the first half.
The Jayhawks shot 59 percent in the half, 51 percent for the game, and were led by the sophomore forward combo of Nick Collison and Drew Gooden. Gooden, in his first game back from a fractured wrist, scored nine points in the second half, and Collison added nine. Each player hit timely buckets that kept K-State at bay whenever the 'Cats got close.
After Kansas led only 31-29 at halftime, the second half brought a better Kansas effort.
"At one stretch, it was either four or five straight possessions that they scored and we did come right back and answer them," Williams said. "It was more Nick Collison and Drew Gooden inside. Those guys really did answer from that point on." Come notes.
■ Iowa State's victory against Texas Tech last night wrapped up the Big 12 regular season title for the Cyclones. A Jayhawk win against Missouri on Sunday would give Kansas second place.

Gooden shines in return
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
MANHATTAN — Drew Gooden is back.
After sitting out five games because of a fracture in his right wrist, Gooden had to wait a little longer against the Wildcats. He was not in the starting lineup last night and didn't see action until nearly five minutes were gone in the game.
But in his return to action in Kansas' 77-65 victory against Kansas State last night at Bramlage Coliseum, it was almost as if he never left. Gooden, a sophomore forward, scored 17 points in just 21 minutes and was just three rebounds away from a double-double.
"I always knew I was back," said Gooden, after Kansas improved to 22-5 and 11-4 in the Big 12 Conference. "In practice I knew I was all right. I knew I wasn't going to struggle."
"He was anxious to play." Kansas
coach Roy Williams said. "And the guys were anxious to have him back because they know how important he is to the team. I thought he gave us a big lift."
With 15:12 remaining in the first half, Williams sent Gooden to the scorer's table to check in. And from the beginning, Gooden produced against the Wildcats (9-17, 3-12).
His first order of business was to block a shot, and then he forced an over-the-back call on K-State forward Matt Siebrandt. That foul came into play later when Gooden forced the second of three fouls on Siebrandt in the first half. The fouls sent Siebrandt, who is one of four Wildcats averaging better than 10 points, to the bench for much of the first half.
journalism.
When Siebrandt checked back into the game during the second half, he picked up a quick foul that left him dangling on the edge of being resigned to the bench. Gooden then prodded
Siebrandt into his fifth foul and sent him to the bench as a permanent spectator with 11:35 remaining.
"I was going up every time and he was going for my shot, so I was just trying to get him in the air," Gooden said. "He got his fifth and I got him out of the game."
There was no apprehension about the wrist. Gooden wanted the ball early and often. And when he did get the ball, the 'Hawks got what they needed. He scored eight points in the first half
Gooden, who continues to lead the Big 12 in double-doubles, despite missing those five games, started both halves on the bench. But he came in and gave the Jayhawks much-needed life on the low blocks.
"I just tried to step up for my team." Gooden said. "Basically hustling after loose balls and trying to block shots."
He scored eight points in the first half and pulled down four rebounds.
"I didn't have any problems," he said. "I feel like I never hurt it."

Kansas topples Texas A&M, White leads surge
By Brandon Stinnett
Kansan sportswriter
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Nikki White shattered her career-high point total, helping Kansas roll past Texas A&M last night at Reed Arena. 75-62.
White scored 20 points in her final regular season game as a Jayhawk. In the process, Kansas picked up its fifth Big 12 Conference win of the season.
White's previous career-high was 12 points at Missouri on Feb. 10.
"I go out every game trying to play hard," said White, whose legs were bothering her before the game. "This game my teammates encouraged me.
My teammates helped me get through the pain."
But Kansas coach Marian Washington wasn't feeling any pain after the victory, which was the Jayhawks' first on a Wednesday night this season.
"I was thrilled with our execution in the game," Washington said.
A. E. BROWN
Nikki White:
scored a career-
high 20 points.
"I thought we did a great job sticking with our game plan."
Beating the Aggies (12-15, 2-14 Big 12) gives Kansas (11-16, 5-11) some moment heading into the Big 12 Tournament next week in Kansas City, Mo.
"It was real important for us to play well," Washington said. "It's never easy to win on the road."
Usually not. But the Aggies, who had dropped nine straight Big 12 games heading into the contest, are last in the conference standings. It also helped that the Jayhawks were red-hot from the field last night, hitting 57.9 percent of their shots partly because the Aggies allowed the Jayhawks easy baskets down low. Kansas made 24 of its 33 field goals from inside the paint.
Texas A&M coach Peggie Gillom said
the Aggies didn't defend Kansas inside well enough. White burned the Aggies for 12 points in the second half.
"Nikki White didn't do anything but get under the basket and score," Gillom said. "You just can't give up wide open shots under the basket."
White, a redshirt junior, decided not to come back for a fifth season at Kansas. Despite another year of eligibility, White has elected to hang it up to avoid the possibility of another injury-filled season.
Washington wishes she'd reconsider

Local gamers gather together for friendship, total warfare
justin Knupp's basement is a computer war zone.
Seven computer towers and monitors dominate the KU graduate's room in an elaborate setup of hardware and fold-up tables, surrounded by bare walls and boxes. Seven men sit around the tables, waiting for the game to begin. One of them fidgets with a large, boomerang-shaped mouse that gives off a red glow like a car blacklight. Another eats Doritos from a bag in a laundry basket.
"One of us is always having network problems," GR Gordon-Ross says.
At about 1:45 p.m., after 15 minutes of securing connections and transferring files, the first shots ring out.
"I'm in!" Knudd savs.

Looking at each screen is like looking down the barrel of a machine gun. The seven gamers navigate their characters through labyrinthian corridors, searching for enemies to gun down.
There are always two teams in the game of Counter-Strike; terrorists and counterterrorists.
"Terrorists always win," says Stefan Sawyer, Lawrence resident.
"Yeah, well now I've got the gun I like," says Gordon-Ross, a Kearney, Mo., pharmacy student.
"The thing about Stefan is he always plays as a woman," Gordon-Ross says. "We're kind of worried about him."
"Hey, quit following me!" says Dimos Tzavaris, Mexico, Mo., pharmacy student.
And so the afternoon progresses, the sound of computer gunfire echoing from each set of headphones. Somewhere on the screen, a dog barks.

Lawrence residents sets up a LAN (or local area network) and fight each other for up to 12 hours at a time. With the pressures of school, girlfriends, wives and even children, the LAN parties can be difficult to schedule. So why make the effort?
"First off, I love the games," Gordon Ross said. "But nothing beats being in the same room, throwing an object at them, yelling at them. When the character says something and everybody laughs. We have a lot of fun."
The group plans to bring gaming to the Lawrence public with an event this spring, Lawrence Frag Fest will be held Saturday, April 28 at a local church. The group expects anywhere from 40 to 100 people to compete in first-person shooter games such as Counter-Strike, Quake III, Half-Life and Unreal Tournament. Information, including prize and registration details, is available at lawrencefragfest.com.
One person who will compete for these bragging rights is Nate Spears, Dallas sophomore. Spears said he started gaming when people from his Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall introduced him to games such as Counter-Strike.
"In high school, I played sports a lot with the kids next door," he said. "Here, no one is that interested in going to throw a football around or kick a soccer ball. I view this as something I do in my free time."
“It’s more fun to play with somebody you know, especially when they’re better than you,” he said. “Most of the time you don’t know and you don’t care. You just want to kill each other.”
"The prize isn't anything," Gordon-Ross said. "It's bragging rights."
Spears said Frag Fest would be a nice change from playing against strangers on the Internet.
Though males appear to constitute most of the gaming population, it isn't a gender-
specific activity.
Liz Montag Omaha sophomore, said she played a couple of times a week in the academic resource center of Douthart Scholarship Hall where she lives.
"There's not actual violence, but you get to shoot things," she said. "I play if there's nobody around and I feel like shooting somebody."
Greg Davis, Spears' roommate and Ottumwa, Iowa, sophomore, said he thought more guys play because they are the ones designing the games.
"I think it's also a matter of peer groups," he said. "It's just harder to find girls that would associate with guys who play games. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy."
Perhaps the most famous woman in the gaming world is also a former KU student. Stevie Case, who was active in Student Senate in her three years at the University, began playing games on the honors floor of her residence hall before joining an off-campus LAN group.
She achieved online fame when she beat John Romero, co-creator of the popular game Doom, in a game he helped design. She now dates Romero and has worked for his game designing company. Since becoming a game designer, Case has been interviewed in Rolling Stone and posed for Playboy.
Spears said Case was a legend among gamers.
"Every geek on the net e-mails her and says, 'Stevie, ditch this Romero guy, I think you're the one for me.'"
Target practice
however, gaming is only a means of recreation, and it's time for this reporter to give it a shot. Gordon-Ross explains the keystrokes and the object of the game: to capture the flag and shoot everyone I see. I move around the caves, steadying my aim when someone crosses my path.
"Hey, look out for the reporter," one of them says. I smile, but I know they have nothing to worry about — I am busy falling off the side of the cliff. Gordon-Ross offers encouragement, but I can tell it's painful for him to watch me put such a dent in his score. Not taking his eyes off the screen, he signals for the headphones back.
"Any advice for a budding gamer?" I ask.
Dimos Tzavaris, Mexico, Mo., graduate student, shoots GR Gordon-Ross, Fort Scott graduate student, in a computer to computer battle, Tzavaris and Gordon-Ross are computer-gaming enthusiasts who join forces to create LANs: local area networks. A LAN enables groups of players to face one another in computer play, as opposed to facing a sterile computer-generated opponent.

"Practice," he said, squinting in concentration. "Practice, but not at the detriment of your life. All of us have a life outside of this."
Within seconds, he acquires a weapon that shoots what appear to be spiraling saw blades. It's easy to see that Gordon-Ross enjoys these games and that he wants to share this enjoyment with others.
"We want people to come," he said.
"They'll either like it or hate it. You're not going to lug your PC across town for something that's just fun. You'll do it because you love it."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 1). Want a better job? Plenty of money? All this, and more, is possible. Start in March by studying. The money comes in April. If a change in attitude is required, make it. Use your experience in May to overcome confusion. In June, fix up your home with stuff you've been saving. True love is due in July, so watch for it. In August, more money is available without doing more work. Teach your mate in September, and forward your career in December. A promotion means you must learn more, but that's OK. Your insecurespurs你 to perfection.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Your financial situation could improve. It's not because you're working overtime; more likely, it's because you'll find something valuable hidden in your closets. That ought to keep you busy tonight.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Reason won't be enough to change your mind today, and with good reason. You're better off going with your gut feeling on a decision that has to be made, especially if your money's involved.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
An older person is trying to tell you something, and you ought to listen. Trouble is, it's body language that's being used, not words. It could have to do with an assignment you should have turned in by now. Just do it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
A friend is having a tough time, but this is good for you. Learn from another's mistake. For example, if the friend decides to tell off the boss; watch to see what happens instead of doing the same thing.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Your forward progress might seem blocked, but that's not really the case. A good partner can help you get through. Don't try to do it all by yourself — you would just be bashing your head against the wall.
virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Reaching out to touch someone might be more difficult than you thought. The problem is an overload — either congestion on the highway or too many users on the Internet. Be patient. It will eventually clear up.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 6.
You would like to live in the lap of luxury, but there is a little work involved. But the more work you do, the more money you'll have to spend.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8.
Your psychic powers should be working very well. This is good, because you don't have time for a conversation that's going nowhere. Instead, cast a spell to get your way. Use chocolate.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
You should be using brains instead of brawn to get the job done. That's what you're telling yourself, too. But how? It's a sure bet that you'll eventually think of something after being stuck in the muck for a while.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
Capitron (sept. 22- Jan. 19) — today is an 8.
True love waites if you can make time for it. You need to run errands, but don't spend all day on them. You deserve to have a little fun just like everyone else. But in your case, you sometimes have to fight for it.
C
+ +
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You may have dreams about the good you would like to do for society, but today your own private spaces need attention. The sanctum around you needs repair. If you have money to donate to anything, spend it on that.
C
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.

You may have a hunch that your skills need updating, and you'll correct. Ask an expert for advice, and you'll become better at what you're doing. Don't despair. This is just another of those tricky learning experiences.

You can try to find out exactly what he's done by asking him. Though it may be sweet revenge to find the other girls he's dated and tell them the truth (if they don't know it), I would advise you to get completely out of the situation. The other girls will eventually find out what he's like, and it is not your responsibility to inform all of them. Knowing what he did will probably cause you more pain.
Your "boyfriend" doesn't respect you one bit. For him to flirt and lie to your friend about your relationship proves he doesn't care if you get hurt in the process. It is understandable why you may be consumed with what he's done to you, but you can't live like this forever. I hope you've broken up with him. If he likes those other girls so much, let him date them. You deserve someone who has the decency to treat you with a little respect.

Prison officials prevent fugitive from going to jail
SOMERVILLE, N.J. — Fugitive David Coote wanted to go to jail. The only thing stopping him was the tail staff.
Cote, 36, attempted to turn himself in at the Somerset County Jail Sunday but was allowed to leave after officials incorrectly told him there were no warrants for his arrest.
Authorities said Coote's name was run through databases tracking municipal information, but apparently was not checked in other databases containing state and national information.
"Everywhere the warrant should have been, it was," prosecutor Wayne Forrest told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Tuesday's editions.
Coote, who remained at large late Monday, told police he was "kind of happy" to be allowed to leave. He had decided to turn himself in after his case was featured in a local publication.
Coeit's warrant was issued Feb. 16, when he failed to show up for sentencing on aggravated assault and criminal mischief charges.
Staten Island to rid itself of disgusting landmark
NEW YORK — The city's smallest borough will have a special reason to celebrate independence on July 4 — freedom from trash.
The closing of the 3,000-acre, 20 story high Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island "has to be one the greatest occasions in the history of our borough," said Guy Molinari, the island's president.
The landfill, which grew to be three times the size of Central Park, opened in 1948 as a temporary site for the city's trash. But by 1987, Fresh Kills had not only become a fixture in Staten Island, it had become the city's only dump. At its peak, Fresh Kills was taking in 27,000 tons of trash daily.
Party plans are still in the works, but will likely include a huge billboard proclaiming the dump officially closed, parades, marching bands and fireworks.
After Staten Island sued the city in 1996 under the federal Clean Air Act, the mayor and governor announced the dump would close. In its place, the city has begun shipping trash out of state.
Woman donates eggs to barren best friend
EUGENE, Ore. — Heidi Clark already has two healthy children. So she was glad to help her best friend share in that joy.
Clark donated three of her eggs to her college pal, Jennifer Warren, who had endured six miscarriages in one year. The procedure turned out better than either woman had hoped when Warren gave birth to twins on Christmas Eve.
The women became best friends while attending the University of Oregon in the late 1980s. Clark's eggs were harvested May 2 and paired with sperm from Warren's husband.
On Dec. 24, Warren gave birth to Sidney Beth and Max Avery.
Clark hasn't yet had a chance to visit, but plans to as soon as she can. She said she'll be an important person in the children's lives, similar to a special aunt.
"I don't feel like they are my kids," she said. "I wouldn't have done it if I had felt that way. I have my own life. I have my own kids and they're No. 1."
MADISON, Wis. — If your child's diares soon smell a bit fishy, that could be because they are.
Scientist patents new diapers made from fish
Srinivasan Damodaran, a University of Wisconsin food scientist, has patented a process that turns ground-up fish into an absorbent, biodegradable gel that could be used in diapers.
Disposable diapers have a crystal or powder that absorbs 100 times its own weight in water. Damodaran claims his product absorbs 400 times its weight.
Also, the fish-based gel deteriorates in landfills within 28 days, while most diaper gels made from petroleum usually break down much more slowly.
Wisconsin would welcome the product if it is successful — the state has too many carp.
German immigrants brought carp to Wisconsin in the 1800s, and the fish quickly flourished. As the carp population increased, other species started to decline.

'Blithe Spirit' offers students fun and farce
By Clare McLellan
By Clare McLettan

Jayplay critic
Judging from Tuesday night's dress rehearsal of the University Theatre's "Blithe Spirit," the show is sure to delight audiences when it opens tomorrow night.
Written by Noel Coward in 1941 and set in England, "Blithe Spirit" is a farcical story about a love triangle among a husband, his wife and a ghost. Time has not altered the spirit of the show — the fun-filled story still provokes many laughs.
The play opens with Ruth and Charles Condomine (played by Mo Perry, Eden Prarie, Minn., sophomore, and John Buxton, Wichita senior) preparing to give a dinner party with a seance to follow. Charles, a novelist, is working on a story about spiritualism, so he invites local medium Madame Arcati (Ginger Dee Bartoski) to the party so he can observe her in action. No one expects her summoning of spirits to work, but the ghost of Charles' first wife, Elvira (Rita DeLoach, Lawrence sophomore), appears after the guests leave and creates much trouble in the Condomines' usually calm life.
The supporting roles of Dr. and Violet Bradman (Charlie Hirsch, Los Angeles senior, and Kate Haugan, Lenexa junior) and Edith the maid (Geri Lisa Cohen, Jamaica, N.Y., senior) are well-defined for their brief moments on stage. Perry (seen last semester in "Angels in America"), Buxton and DeLoach are all sharp and convincing in their parts, but the standout of the show is Bartoski's Madame Arcati. She embodies this part so completely, from her flamboyant gestures to the energy she exudes in
the delivery of her lines. It is easy to forget she isn't Madame Arcati in real life.
The grand two-story set beautifully fills the stage at Crafton-Preyer Theatre, making the supernatural come to life.

Elements such as the cold, blue light cast on Elvira when she is on stage, coupled with her airy purple costume and dark makeup, give the character her ghostly feel.

A University of Kansas alumnus has published his debut novel online, more than a decade after he began writing it.

Stafford was nine when his father, Bob, died in 1965. He said the stories that led to the novel surfaced when he talked to Bob's brother, well-known poet William Stafford, in 1987.
www.nedstafford.com. The book, based on the life of Stafford's father, takes place in El Dorado and other Kansas towns.
Stafford called his book an oral history because it was rooted in extensive, recorded conversations with family members.

Yet, he said the book was art, not a drv, factual account.
"People outside of the Staffora family and people who do not know us will be gripped by the story," he said. "People will see themselves in the book."
Edited by Megan Phelps
The play starts off a bit slow and runs a bit long — about two and a half hours. But it quickly shifts into high gear and several frantic scenes keep the audience laughing and the momentum going. The story isn't terribly compelling, but it certainly is a lot of fun.
Stafford said he would not reveal specific events in the book because he was releasing the book in installments to maximize its suspense.
The book's appeal is universal, Stafford said, because it is "devas-

Paul Jess, who was general manager of the University Daily Kansan when Stafford was a reporter, said Stafford was a hard worker who looked for unusual stories. He said Stafford also was good at getting a story, a skill he used in interviews with family members for his current project.
"He likes to develop a relationship with his sources, to get them to tell him things they wouldn't tell others," Jess said. "He could get them to talk."

Stafford's publication of the book has been complicated by financial problems at EuropeFN, which he said were taking time and energy he would like to devote to his book's publication.

Some of those tears have been his own, he said, but years of learning about and immortalizing his father's life became therapeutic.

Wit, poetry, lyrics meet on new album The Matthew Good Band Beautiful Midnight (Atlantic)
From the comedic antics of Norm McDonald and SCTV to the dramatic genius of Michael J. Fox, Canadians seem to understand the world of entertainment far better than Americans.
This hypothesis is reaffirmed by Canada's newest set of stars, the Matthew Good Band. Combining an alternative rock sound that hasn't
matthewgood band
been heard since the mid-1990s with lyrics that are at times witty and at times poetic, the Matthew Good Band is on a road of success and fame. To put it simply, the Matthew Good Band is pretty darn good.
If their American album debul
Beautiful Midnight does as well here
as it did in Canada, the Matthew Good Band will become a big success. The album features the hit singles "Load Me Up" and "Strange Days." The band lists its primary influences as Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Noam Chomsky, Francis Bacon, U2 and the Pixies. Nowhere can you hear all of these influences better than on what is perhaps the best track on the album, the witty and controversial "Hello Time Bomb." It is a brief narrative of the classic working man pushing himself until he explodes.
The only negative factor of this album is it tends to get monotonous, the songs sometimes blend and it's hard to tell if the track changed. Maybe the band wanted it that way, but Canada has produced another talented group of stars that will blow American competition out of the water.
The Matthew Good Band is the type of band you want to listen to if you miss the alternative rock days of the mid-90s.

Kate Campbell is the daughter of a Baptist preacher, and she wants you to know it., Wandering Strange is Campbell's fourth release, and her first attempt at making a Gospel album.
Campbell's strength lies in her sto-
Campbell's Streng rytelling, which has been compared to Flannery O'Conner and William Faulkner. Like those authors, Campbell's experiences with religion
bislamimus ful
serve as a springboard for stories about wayfaring strangers, repentant sinners, crusading pilgrims and Satan's snares. These stories have universal appeal and should appeal to audiences of all religious affiliations, or even to those with no chosen faith.
Although she has drawn comparisons to Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams, Campbell cultivates a unique sound that incorporates elements of soul, R&B, southern rock, and folk music. Campbell's voice does not have the gravel-road appeal of Lucinda Williams' scratchy warble, but rather a sweet, soulful strength that befits a choir girl from Sledge, Miss.
In fact, many of the songs on this album were drawn from her experiences as a child. Three of the songs are 18th century hymns set to modern arrangements, courtesy of Muscle Shoals studios, which recorded Gospel albums for Bob Dylan as well as albums for the Allman Brothers and Aretha Franklin.

The Correlation between Asian Dating Patterns and Internalized Oppression with Bertrand Wang
Does being Asian affect who you date? Does dating someone Asian affect how you act?
This is potentially an explosive issue to discuss in large groups simply because of the strong emotions and feelings attached. Participants are asked to identify symptoms and behaviors caused from internalized oppression (like wanting to remove epicanthic folds with an operation). Followed by a discussion, participants share their views on the correlation between dating patterns and internalized oppression. Not for the timid, you must be ready to have this discussion. Open to all.
Different views are welcome.

The Slip slides in for Sunday show

In 1776, Boston gave birth to great revolutionary heroes who broke away from the mainstream to create a new nation.
By Robert Pazell
More than 200 years later, a new revolution has surfaced in the historical New England city with musical heroes who jam above and beyond what is written, and break away from the mainstream to generate a new sound.
Lawrence will get a taste of this musical genre when the Slip slides in for a 10:30 show Sunday night at the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts.
"It's the intensity that I dig about the northeast." Friedman said. "There's more action. It's old and historical; that's why we are very blessed."
Bassist Marc Friedman said the musical environment and city's history made the northeast scene,exciting.
Hailing from a hallowed region that has produced jam-oriented greats such as Phish and the Jazz Mandolin Project, the Slip brings a mix of jazz and rock improvisation.
The Slip has jammed with spontaneous greats such as the String Cheese Incident and Greyboy All-Stars, as well as jazz-funk superstars Maceo Parker and Charlie Hunter. Their recording efforts include
"The pinnacle of our playing is when we take the most primal approach," Friedman said. "We forget about the audience, our instruments, and it allows us to be very natural and sporadic."
PACHAMAMA'S NEW WORLD CUISINE
Friedman has been playing with brothers Andrew Barr, drums, and Brad Barr, guitar, for 10 years. They met in a high school jazz band and attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music together for about a year.
"Our sound is now a culmination of things." Friedman said. "It's what we've been working on since we started, and it's just become a history."
Megan Hixon, Dodge City senior, caught a Slip show last summer at the High Sierra Music Festival in California. She was impressed with their creativity, especially when the drummer jammed on a plastic bucket.

Insane Clowns set to shock Kansas City

They're loved by many and hated by many more. But to Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, that only means success.
The two face-painted rappers and wrestlers who make up the Insane Clown Posse have a lyrical content that makes controversial rap star Eminem appear primed for his first appearance on Sesame Street. The shockrocking Posse will promote its two most recent albums, Bizzar and Bizaar, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Mo.
Phil Best, Overland Park senior, said a live performance by the Insane Clown Posse was a notorious journey into the unique psychosis of the two clowns. It's an in-your-face, uncompromising experience that contains few surprises along the way, he said.

in Lawrence," Best said. "It was the craziest, most raunchy rock spectacle I've ever seen in my life. Definitely a show worth seeing."
Adam Sefchick, Greensburg, Penn., graduate student, was first introduced to the Insane Clown Posse when he saw them participate in a World Championship Wrestling match at the Harley Davidson Rally Week in Sturgis, S.D.
"Violent J and Shaggy came out and the crowd went crazy," Sefchick said. "They were very energetic and did everything they could to get the crowd fired up. I can't wait to see them live in concert."

Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts star with James Gandolfini in the movie The Mexican, which opens in theaters tomorrow. Contributed photo
Film has stars, lacks glow
By Christy Lemire
The Associated Press
The star power of The Mexican is blinding: Brad Pitt! Julia Roberts! James Gandolfi!
All three actors couldn't be much hotter now; Roberts is up for a best actress Oscar for "Erin Brockovich." The much anticipated third season of *The Sopranos*, for which Gandolfini has won a best actor Emmy, starts Sunday night. Pitt is... well, Brad Pitt.
Don't get your hopes up, though.
The Mexican is sporadically entertaining. It works when Gandolfi is on screen; when he leaves, he takes the movie with him.
And if you're expecting romantic sparks between the astonishingly attractive Roberts and Pitt, forget it. They're rarely on screen at the same time, and when they are, all they do is bicker. It makes you wish they had no scenes together at all.
Pitt plays a bumbling clod named Jerry who, inexplicably, gets assignments from a Los Angeles mob boss. Jerry must trek to Mexico to retrieve a valuable antique pistol known as "The Mexican," or he'll be killed. He's also getting pressure from his girlfriend, Samantha (Roberts), to leave his life of crime and move with her to Las Vegas (for a much more wholesome life, presumably).
After a seriously annoying argument, Jerry heads south of the border and Samantha heads to Vegas alone. But on her way, a hitman named Lerov (Gandolfini) takes her hostage.
just to make sure Jerry doesn't try to
rake the pistol for his own purposes
From here, director Gore Bervinbis, who made his feature debut with *Mouse Hunt*, intercurs between two road movies, one of which—the one with Pitt—is downright boring.
We watch him hop from one dusty Mexican town to the next, avoiding various bad guys while trying to hang onto the gun. When we check in on Roberts and Gandolfini, though, it's fascinating to watch these two compelling actors bounce off each other.
As their characters drive to Vegas and stop at roadside diners, they become friends.
Samantha is painfully neurotic and loves to pick apart her relationship with Jerry using sprinklings of psychobabble, and Leroy indulges her need for therapy.
Leroy could be Tony Soprano's cousin—a tough-talking, chain-smoking thug who can shoot a man dead without batting an eye. But, like Tony, Leroy has a sensitive side. Deep down, all he really wants is a hug.
The movie wraps up with some convoluted twists and double-crosses and mumbo-jumbo about fate and intersections and curses.
But every once in a while The Mexican gives people what they want: Robert's megawatt smile. Pitt with his shirt off and a little bit of Tony Soprano.
The Mexican is rated R for violence and language. Running time: 123 minutes.
Fidelity on hold in foreign film
By Anthony Breznican
The Associated Press
Darlene wants a home, affection and good sex. Unfortunately, no one man in the desolate Brazilian Northeast can satisfy each of her needs.
A
So she fulfills them with three men — the gruff Osias, the gentle Zezhino and the handsome Ciro — to their grudging acceptance.
The Portuguese-language film begins with Darlene (Brazilian television star Regina Case) deciding she is ready to settle down after wandering for three years with an ilegitimate child.
One day, her 70-year-old neighbor Osias (Lima Duarte) surprises her with a marriage proposal. If she says yes, she can have his home.
But once they're married, he reneges — and shows he'd rather listen to his precious radio than even look at Darlene. He's also displeased that she can't cook a decent meal when she gets back from a day of field labor.
Seeking companionship, Darlene betriends Osias' simple-minded, cousin, Zezhin

(Stenio Garcia), who lives with Osias' sister.
(Stenio Garcia), who lives with Olasi's sister. Zezhinio treats Darlene like a princess. Although he's also an old man, he tries to help Darlene with her many chores.
While washing clothes one day, Darlene and Zezhino begin a passionate affair.
When Zezhino gets kicked out of his home, Osias invites him to live with him and Darlene.
Zezhino is a better cook than Darlene and serves almost as a personal valet to Osias, who brags that he now has two wives, unaware that Darlene really has two husbands.
He doesn't learn of her affair until after she becomes pregnant with his cousin's baby and by then is too used to Zezhino's services to throw him out.
Meanwhile, Darlene remains restless. Another affair develops with the young, virile Ciro, a migrant worker Darlene meets at a dance.
Ciro (Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos) has no money and little personality, but he's got other assets Darlene has her eye on.
Osias, already a cuckold, decides to vex Zezhino by inviting Ciro to share their home.
Darlene finds herself under one roof with three men and a different child from each.
Me You Them doesn't try to look at the morality of polygamy; instead, it's used as a tool to explore the emotional compromises of the men, who put up with each other rather than lose Darlene altogether.
The Caveman's Valentine thrills
By Anthony Breznican
The Associated Press
They say a broken clock is correct at least two times a day, which is more than can be said of Romulus Ledbetter, the insane, ranting vagrant in the detective mystery The Caveman's Valentine.
Samuel L. Jackson plays Romulus, whose paranoid schizophrenia envelopes him in a world of delusion, confusion and misconception.
Torturing him is the idea that a megalomaniac bent on world domination spies on him from atop a skyscraper and sends neon death-rays to permeate his skull.
He also thinks his busted television broadcasts crimes in progress, and that a flock of men with moth wings lives inside his head.
Locals mockingly refer to Romulus as "Caveman" because he sleeps under a rocky enclave in a Manhattan park. He also looks like the part with his hat of
matted fur, wail-weight dreadlocks and animal-intense eyes.
In any other detective story, Romulus would be a colorful side character, but The Caveman's Valentine boldly chooses him as its hero.
Author George Dawes Green, who adapted The Caveman's Valentine from his Edgar Award-winning novel, makes great use of elements pioneered by Dashiil Hammett and Raymond Chandler. Their stories made Humphrey Bogart a star in the 1940s with movies like The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon.
But imagine Bogart's streetwise investigator if he couldn't trust his own senses. That's the handicap Romulus works under, an interesting twist that elevates this thriller to the ranks of its greatest predecessors.
Romulus himself is something of a mystery. He was a classically trained pianist and composer at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York who retained his artistry despite his
mental illness.
We learn that fellow classmates considered him a genius in his prime, but Romulus abandoned his career and family (not to mention his rational mind) when the pressure to prove his talents became too great.
This adds credibility to the idea that a deranged homeless man would become an amateur sleuth after finding a fellow transient frozen to death on a snowy morning after Valentine's Day. He believes the man was murdered.
Romulus could never prove his own worth, but he remains driven to at least prove something — especially to his estranged daughter (Aunjanue Ellis), who is now a New York police officer.
He hears a rumor that the frozen man was a former model killed because he tried to blackmail a Robert Mapplethorpe-like photographer named David Leppenraub (the icy character actor Colm Feore.)
The trouble is that Romulus'

murder scenario fits too well with his other ridiculous conspiracy theories, so no one believes him.
But like that broken clock, this time Romulus may be right.

Plea entered in highway death
WWW.KANSAN.COM
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A 16-year-old Shawnee boy was pressured to drink at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house in September the night he hit the car of a Lawrence resident, killing her, defense attorney Tom Bath said in court yesterday.
Sean Scott pleaded no contest yesterday in Johnson County District Court to the felony charge of involuntary manslaughter. The charge came in December for a Sept. 16 car accident on Kansas Highway 10 that killed Felicia "Lisa" Bland, 39, who died from head injuries received in the accident.
Brenda Cameron, an assistant district attorney prosecuting the case, said Bland was dead when officers from the Kansas Highway Patrol, Olathe Police Department, Lenexa Police Department and Johnson County Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene.
Cameron said officers determined from witness accounts that Sean had been weaving in and out of traffic in his white Chevrolet Camaro at an estimated 90 mph before crossing the grassy median and ending up in the oncoming traffic lanes.
At the scene, Sean admitted he had been drinking, Cameron said. At the hospital, she said,
Sean admitted he had been drinking "a lot."
Sean's blood-alcohol content was .15 — almost eight times the legal .02 limit for a person under 21 years old and nearly twice the .08 limit for adults.
Sean's attorney, Tom Bath, explained Sean's activities earlier that Saturday night in this way;
Sean had driven to Lawrence to visit his older brother, Mike, initially intending to go to the KU football game. Mike and some of his fraternity brothers accompanied Sean To The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., where he was joined by his parents and drank alcohol.
At 6:45 p.m., Bath continued, Sean and Mike Scott left The Wheel and returned to the fraternity house. Mike then left, leaving Sean at the house. Two or three fraternity members provided alcohol to Sean and then began taunting him for not drinking. Sean then "consumed shots of rum."
Cameron said Sean's mother had given Sean's keys to Ashley Williams, Shawnee Mission freshman, earlier in the night because Sean had been drinking, and Williams put the keys in her purse. Later in the night, fraternity member Patrick Sullivan, Fairway sophomore, saw the keys and hid them behind
See JUVENILE on page 2A
Timeline of the case
According to Mathew
Hefteley, Kansas Highway
Patrol trooper:
According to Matthew
Sept.16
Sean Scott goes to the Rhi
the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, 1540 Louisiana St., to meet his brother, Mike Scott. A fraternity member drives the two to the Wheel, 507 W. 14th St.
Sean Scott drinks at the Wheel.
Sean and Mike walk back to the fraternity, where Sean drinks more.
$\textcircled{4}$ Sean is supposed to go `to` Memorial Stadium with his family to watch the football game. He decides to drive to
Lenexa to see his girlfriend instead.
Sean takes Kansas Highway 10 toward Lenexa. He crosses the median and hits another car about 15 miles east of Lawrence. The driver of the other car, Felicia "Lisa" Bland, dies at the scene.
According to Johnson County District Court records:
Dec. 6
Sean is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the juvenile division of Johnson County District Court.
Dec. 7
Sean's first appearance in court. Judge
sets bond at $50,000.

Mary Kay marketing
Cosmetics from the girl next door
By Sarah Warren
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
For the residents of Lewis Hall's seventh floor, Alison Thompson is their buddy, neighbor and friendly, local Mary Kav supplier.
Thompson, Hays sophomore, entered the wild world of Mary Kay in August when she was recruited while attending a Mary Kay skills class.
D
"When I realized how much money you could make and how flexible it was, I signed up the next day," Thompson said. "In August and September I went to optional training sessions."
Then, in October, after learning more about Mary Kay and the products, Thompson officially opened shop as a Mary Kay consultant. She said that she opted for what the company called a "power start." To complete her power start Thompson had to give facials to 30 people in 30 days.
To reach her goal, Thompson held skill classes, where she would give facials to women and earn money selling Mary Kay products.
"I've done them in study rooms and lobbies and my room and I've gone to houses," Thompson said. "Whatever is convenient for the particular customer."
Even with all her efforts, it seemed that Thompson would be a few faces short. So, to make the 30-person goal, she had to enlist the help of her friends.
"We rallied people on my floor and we ended up having 32 faces," Thompson said. "We finished 10 minutes before my weekly Mary Kay meeting."
Alison Thompson, Hays sophomore, right, helps Lara Kantack, Sioux Falls, S.D., freshman, choose makeup colors that complement her complexion. Thompson has been selling Mary Kay cosmetics from her seventh floor Lewis Hall room since August. Photo by Jamie Roper/KANSAN
At the meeting, the Mary Kay crew recognized Thompson's completion of the goal.
"The they presented me with a pin that says that I did the power start, which I wear to all my Mary Kay functions," she said.
Maren Bradley, Kansas City,
Mo., junior and a Lewis seventh
floor resident, said that she wasn't
surprised when Thompson
announced her new status as a Mary Kay consultant.
"I was definitely not surprised at all," Bradley said. "She's got
really nice skin and she has a really great personality."

Vote recount may eliminate KU candidate
By Erin Adamson
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A Douglas County miscount of votes in Tuesday night's City Commission primary election means that University of Kansas student Jennifer Chaffee might not be advancing to the general election Tuesday, April 3.
After Tuesday's election, Chaffee was in sixth place out of twelve candidates. The primary selected six out of 12 candidates to compete for three seats in the general election.
Douglas County Clerk Patty Jaimes, said when the ballots were run through the counting machine, they were saved on the machine and the totals were printed out.
PETER GILLIAMS
"We weren't instructed to hit zero to cancel out the old totals, and they got counted twice," Jaimes said.
Chaffee, recount her eliminate her from general election ballot
Tuesday night's count showed
Chaffe beating Adam Mansfield by 10 votes, 570 to 560. But Jaimes said after the counting error was discovered and corrected, Mansfield had a one-vote lead, 522 to 521.
Jaimes said that the recount was complete and that those votes would not be counted again. The county is now waiting for votes from provisional ballots to be counted.
This morning the Douglas County Commission will look at 46 provisional ballots and decide which are valid. Jaimes said most of the provisional ballots were cast by people who might have voted without being registered. The Douglas County Commission will review the provisional ballots and announce the final official vote.
Chaffee is still waiting for the results.
"The right thing is going to happen," Chaffee said. "I'm not going to worry about it either way."
"I think it's kind of silly to lose by one vote," Chaffee said.
She said the close race wasn't what she had expected.
Chaffee said one good thing about the close race was that it highlighted the problem of voter registration, something she said she hoped to work for if she stayed in the race.
"We decided we would try to do a really big push to remind people to register that aren't registered," Chaffee said. "We're going to try to hit some of the coffee shops and bars."
She said she wanted to make students get out and vote in the general election.
"If we make that clear that it's just a little difference of them going and voting, that could have a big difference on the town," she said.
Mansfield could not be reached for comment.
The five candidates who will definitely advance to the general election are Sue Hack, Marty Kennedy, Erv Hodges, David Dunfield and Scott Bailey.
Either Chaffee or Mansfield will take sixth in the race.
The candidates that were eliminated on Tuesday night were Kevin Polian, Craig Campbell, Mark Lehmann and University of Kansas student Brett Logan.

platform. He expected the coalition to announce its platform on Wednesday.
"Kyle and I are still narrowing down some of the ideas," Mills said.
"The ideals we have and the way we go about doing things in terms of long-term commitment are things we're proud of." Browning said.
Browning cited Delta Force initiatives such as fall break, the Hilltop Child Care Center and the city-wide bus system as things that gave the coalition credibility with voters.
Mills said that the coalition was still in the process of developing a

This is the fifth year the coalition has been in existence. Mills said the coalition's history spoke for itself
"Delta Force has never been convicted of a campaign violation," Bartlett said.
"It definitely gives us more credibility," he said. "We definitely not afraid to go off our past successes and learn from our past failures."
Ben Burton, who ran unsuccessfully for student body president
last year, echoed similar sentiments last night. He also said that although this was the first year the VOICE coalition had been in existence, he didn't consider it to be a new coalition because Bankston ran student body president Ben Walker's campaign last year.
Bankston said that Burton's allegations were ridiculous.
Harris could not be reached for comment last night.
"I'm not running under the name United Students because I'm not Ben Walker and Hunter Harris isn't Marlon Marshall."

Fifth dean candidate completes interviews
The University of Kansas School of Education completed the interviewing process with dean candidate Larry Ebbers yesterday.
Ebbers, a professor of higher education at Iowa State University, was the fifth candidate interviewed.
Ebbers toured the campus and met faculty during his interview, which lasted from Tuesday until yesterday.
Ebbers had planned to meet with students, but none attended the meeting.
He said he had filled a variety of roles throughout his career in education.
"I think part of what I would bring to this position is experience in every role in the college of education that might be possible," he said.
The school will interview an unnamed sixth candidate Tuesday through Thursday.
The candidate's name will be announced next week.
Memorial service set for sociology professor
A memorial service for E. Jackson Baur, professor emeritus of sociology, will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Baur died Jan. 20 at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
Norman Yetman, professor of sociology and American studies, said Baur, who was graduate director and chairman of sociology, was a dedicat ed and humanitarian person.
"He was committed to social justice, " Yetman said.
A reception in the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union will follow the service.
The family suggests memorials to the E. Jackson and Lilian J. Baur Fund, be sent to the KU Endowment Association.

Queers & Allies opposes ban on blood donations
Queers & Allies officers at the University of Kansas said they oppose
the red Cross regulation that prevents men that have had sex with another male since 1977 from donating blood.
The regulation was set by the FDA and has been in place for more than 10 years.
The Red Cross says that males who have had sex with another male since 1977 are among the top risk groups for becoming infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Stan Handshy, Student Senate representative for Queers & Allies, said he thought the regulation was unfair.
"The ban on any gay man or any man having sex with a man since 1977 is discrimination hidden behind a medical degree," he said. "It's demeaning that no other group of individuals is put on a lifetime ban based on sexual orientation."

KU student's hearing on hold until April
The hearing to set a trial date for a KU student accused of kissing and fondling a sleeping female student in the sixth floor lobby of Hashinger Hall in late August was continued yesterday until 1:30 p.m. Thursday, April 5.
"The state and I have resolved this matter," said Sally Howard, defense attorney for Kevin Hoskinson, Garden City junior.
Howard said 30 days were needed to prepare for the next hearing.
Dave Zabel, the assistant district attorney prosecuting the case, said the options at this stage for a case such as Hoskinson's would be to enter a plea, to go to trial or to apply for diversion. He would not comment specifically on Hoskinson's case.

Southern Methodist to offer same-sex benefits
DALLAS — Southern Methodist University next year will begin offering medical benefits and reduced tuition to same-sex partners of employees.
Morgan Olsen, Southern Methodist University vice president for business and finance, said the benefits plan was a good business decision that would allow the university to remain competitive for top teaching talent
Beginning Jan. 1, same-sex partners will be eligible for medical and dental insurance and reduced tuition, with details to be developed during the coming months. Olsen said.
The Dallas-based school will become the second in Texas and one of a relatively few religious institutions nationwide to extend such benefits.
The university will join a growing number of private-sector companies offering same-sex benefits.
Southern Methodist University estimates that about 1 percent of its 1,900 employees would sign up for the benefits at an annual cost from $80,000 to $100,000.
The Faculty Senate last month unanimously approved the recommendation by members of the University Benefits Council.
Washington statehouse damaged in earthquake
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Chunks of plaster, broken glass and dust coated the Senate and House floors, displacing legislators contemplating when — and whether they can return to work in the Capitol damaged by the earthquake. Lawmakers planned to meet yesterday to assess the damage but the legislature will not convene until Monday at the earliest. They may have to find a temporary home in which to finish their 105-day session.
"We're going to have to do a little improvising," said House Co-Speaker Clyde Ballard.
Gov. Gary Locke was also among those displaced by Wednesday's powerful quake, which was centered 11 miles away. He, his wife and two children were forced out of the governor's mansion, at least for one night. He said books and pictures flew off the walls.
The governor was about to leave for an event at Seattle's Space Needle when the quake hit. Instead, he and staff members in his office crawled under their desks.
Rapper Combs testifies shots were aimed at him
NEW YORK — Rapper Sean "Puffy" Combs, taking the witness stand at his gun possession trial, testified yesterday he thought he was the intended victim when shooting broke out at a Times Square nightclub.
"Do you know who was being shot at?" asked his lawyer, Benjamin Brafman.
"No. I thought I was being shot at," Combs said. "My hands were up. I started to go down. Everybody started falling all over each other."
Combs said the gunfire rang out shortly after Jones accompanied Combs and his then-girlfriend, singer actress Jennifer Lopez, from the VIP section of Club New York to the exit early on Dec. 27, 1999.
Among the people falling on top of him, he said, was his bodyguard, Anthony "Wolf" Jones, who was also charged with gun possession.
The Associated Press
"I had felt the shots were for me." Combs said. "As fast as I could get down there, I was just trying to get away from danger."

Neither Bath nor Cameron could be reached for comment after yesterday's hearing.
At some point on Sept. 16, Sean decided to go see his girlfriend in Lenexa, said Mathew Hefley, a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper. He didn't make it there. And Lisa Bland never made it home.
But members of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, 1540 Louisiana St., told a different story yesterday.
"Sean was visiting his brother, but none of our members were with him during his stay," said Jake Brown, Phi Gamma Delta president, in a prepared statement. "Therefore, none of our members could have forced or encouraged Sean Scott to drink alcohol at any time."
In response to questions, Brown said Mike Scott had lived in the fraternity house as a pledge for the first two weeks of school and then "kind of disappeared" for two weeks before the incident.
"We really had passed off Mike's being in the house," Brown said. "We thought he was done."
He said the next time members saw Mike was when he came up to the house the day of the accident. After that date, Brown said, members never saw Mike Scott again.
"Everyone put in their statements they hadn't seen anything of any sort," Brown said.
later with questions.
In the same interview, however, Brown said fraternity members had not known the Scott brothers were at the house and found out about the night's events after law enforcement officers showed up
Brown said members then found out that a couple of freshmen in the fraternity had seen the Scott brothers walking in the hallway that Saturday.
During halftime at the football game that night, Sullivan had returned to the fraternity house and saw the keys in the room where the Scotts had been, Brown said. He hid them behind the room's refrigerator while the Scotts were in the bathroom, Brown said.
Sullivan then went back to the game, and when he returned to the fraternity an hour later, Sean was gone, Brown said. Brown said he thought a friend of Mike's had given the keys to Mike's girlfriend sometime in that hour.
"None of our guys ever hung out or did anything with him," Brown said, saying he wanted to reiterate that the alcohol was Mike's liquor and not supplied through the fraternity. The only encounter would have been when a member came and took the keys, Brown said. Brown said taking keys was "kind of common practice" if someone had been drinking.
slipped out of our hands."
"I don't want this to come out like we're in a bunch of trouble because that's not the case." Brown said. "They just kind of showed up. Things just kind of happened, and some of our guys tried to help, but this just kind of
Richard Ramos, Lisa Bland's brother, said he was kind of surprised when Sean pleaded no contest yesterday. He said he felt a sense of relief after the hearing but still had mixed feelings.
Jim Bland, Lisa's husband of eight-and-a-half years, said he, too, was surprised by the plea but was relieved that there wouldn't be a trial. The next step for the Ramos and Bland families would be to seek criminal prosecution for the events that took place in Douglas County preceding the accident, Bland and Ramos said.
After Sean's plea, Judge Janetle Sheldon said an emergency existed and ordered that Sean be placed in juvenile custody until his Thursday, March 15 sentencing. Bath argued for house arrest, but Sheldon refused.
"Quite frankly, considering the nature of the crime, I believe house arrest is not warranted," Sheldon said.
Sheldon said Sean could face 18 to 36 months in a youth correctional facility on the charge, as well as 16 to 24 months of aftercare support services.
But he'll still come home, Ramos said, and that's the bottom line.
"I don't want to be vindictive," Ramos said. "I want to be human and Christian, like I'm supposed to be. But he's going to come home. He's going to be gone a little while, and they're still going to visit him. Lisa's never going to come home."

Workshop explores Asian-American relationships
Negative images interracial couples highlight discussion
By Danny Phillips
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Jennifer Duan would think twice before dating an American.
The Topeka junior said "white guys" usually view Asian women as exotic and submissive, and if she were to get married, she would prefer to stay within her own race.
Duan was one of 16 people who attended a workshop last night on Asian-American dating patterns and how they're connected with internalized oppression.
The workshop was part of the Asian American Festival at the University of
The intimate group was composed primarily of students who were forced to confront their own stereotypes about themselves and their peers.
Kansas.
New York City native Bertrand Yang began the workshop at the Burge Union by writing the words "self hate" on a giant Post-it note and soliciting the participants' initial word associations. Some of the responses included suicide, depression and anger.
Yang then pulled out a marker and asked for self-esteem issues specific to Asians living in the United States.
"Self-esteem is directly related to your dating choices," said Yang.
Charu Narula, Leawood senior, said sometimes it was hard to maintain a balance between old culture and new culture.
Height, acceptance, slanted eyes and the language barrier also made the list.
That exercise opened up a dialogue to how self hate affected dating choices.
"I didn't ask for stereotypes. The easiest thing for us to do is pick on images. This is from
us."
Bertrand Yang Workshop leader
Every participant said they knew of an interracial couple that consisted of a Caucasian male and an Asian woman.
Hubert Chen, Asian-American Student Union president, said he was amazed how many Asian females in Internet personal ads only wanted to date Caucasian men.
Jazzmin Chun, Overland Park freshman, said she's always dated "white guys."
"It has a lot to do with height," she said. She also said she grew up in a high school that didn't have a large Asian population, so she would hang around the Caucasian crowd.
Thu Lam, Overland Park senior, has some Asian friends who want Caucasian partners so they can have "perfect" interacial children.
J. P. Tongson, Lenexa senior, said he was upset when he heard people say they would date either exclusively within their race or exclusively outside.
"It doesn't really matter in the end," said Tongson, as long as people found someone who would treat them well.
However, Tongson did say it was probably easier to date within someone's own race because those couples usually had a lot more in common.
Yang's second activity divided the participants along gender lines and had each group write down everything "they heard or believed to be true" about the opposite sex in an Asian context.
By the end of the activity, which included plenty of laughter and friendly jabbing, the participants by and large wrote
Women wrote Asian men were stylish, short, hairless and owned their own restaurants.
down stereotypes of themselves.
Conversely, men wrote that Asian women possessed secret sex techniques, had difficult parents and were demanding.
"I didn't ask for stereotypes," said Yang as he referred to his original directions. "The easiest thing for us to do is pick on images. This is from us."
Yang said in all the years that he'd taught the workshop, without fail the lists were always flooded with negatives and stereotypes.
While no workshop holds all of the answers, Yang said, he wanted the participants to start analyzing how they viewed themselves and others within the Asian community.
"This stuff still speaks for itself," Yang said.

Student earns extra cash with Mary Kay
Continued from page 1A
Now, months after her big beginning. Thompson has slowed down her Mary Kay commitment quite a bit.
"I like to have an average of one to two skill classes a week," Thompson said. "That's only two to five hours per week."

However, only five hours a week can mean big bucks in the makeup business.
"The company says that there's about a $200 average for a class." Thompson said. "That's the $200 in about an hour and a half."
Thompson didn't say how much money she averaged per skills class, but she did say that it was about the same amount that she makes working 15 to 20 hours a week at Applebee's Neighborhood Bar & Grill, 2520 Iowa St.
"It pays for my car, it helps with my tuition, and it certainly gets me spending money," Thompson said. "But I do it more on a hobby level, but some people make $50,000 a year."
Donna Leonard, Pittsburgh junior and a client of Thompson, said she wouldn't mind making money as a Mary Kay lady, but she works with Thompson at Applebee's.
"I felt like if I could have a good clientele, then I'd do it." Leonard said. "But she already took the people I work with, and I've got a cousin in Mary Kay, so there goes my family."
Besides the money, Thompson said another perk to the job was that she was her own boss.
"I enjoy it because I don't have any quatas, there's tax breaks for having your own business, and I can choose how many hours I want to work this week," Thompson said. "But the best part is not having to ask, 'Can I have time off to see my family?' "
Thompson also said that, that as an added bonus, the Mary Kay comp
ny had many incentive programs for its employees. One of the most well-known programs is one in which consultants can "earn" a pink Cadillac. However, Thompson said that she didn't want to be the typical Mary Kay lady driving around in a pink Cadillac just yet.
"I just bought a new car before I became a consultant," Thompson said. "So I'm not that interested in that vet."
"My next big goal is a trip to Disney World for me and my boyfriend. I'm still a baby in the business — I just want to have fun," she said.

KU team shoots for thinking robot within 10 years
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Schreiber, professor of cognitive psychology, and Frank Brown, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, have assembled a team of researchers to develop and build a robot that would perform some of the same cognitive processes as human beings.
It's the 21st century and robots still aren't walking down Massachusetts Street. But that might change if Tom Schreiber and his colleagues have their way.
The project, called Kansas University Cognitive Robotics Project (KUCRP), has been in brainstorming stages since 1997. Some preliminary production has begun on a test robot, which will pave the way for the actual robot in the years to come.
"We can outfit it with the sensory and actuation systems that resemble those of human beings," he said. "The robot itself is situated in a real rather than a virtual environment. It can actively gather information about its world and can even manipulate it."
The robot will be programmed to use the same cognitive processes that researchers believe humans use to complete everyday tasks, such as visually identifying and picking up objects.
"We seek to understand and to explore the nature of human intelligence by trying to simulate it using state-of-the-art technologies," Schreiber said. "Using a robot as a research tool is ideal."
The robot would allow researchers to study whether theories about human thought processes used to perform simple tasks are accurate. If the robot performed specified tasks, then researchers would know whether their theories regarding those thought processes were correct.
"There is no other type of device used for the purposes of studying and simulating human cognition that has these characteristics." Schreiber said.
Schreiber estimated a finished robot in five to 10 years — only if the project received the requested funding from academic and scientific institutions.
Completing the robot would require millions of dollars in funding from outside sources. Schreiber said the project has received some limited funding from the University but the project would need money.
Though the technology does exist to program and build the robot, Schreiber said current knowledge on human cognitive processes was lacking. He said psychologists didn't yet fully understand the cognitive processes in humans, which would make it difficult to program a robot to perform similar tasks.
He said because of the new terrain, institutions might hesitate before handing out sizable financial grants.
"Our endeavor also has a high degree of risk associated with it," Schreiber said. "There is a danger that we either cannot
fulfill what we have promised or that it will take much longer than calculated."
Schreiber is looking to students to help with the project, providing that funding continues to come in.
"Certainly, our learning environment provides an opportunity for students to learn not only about their own fields and closely-related ones but also about how a group of talented yet diverse people work
There are six members of the KUCRP team and all specialize in different areas.
together." Schreiber said.
During meetings each week, team members bring with them different ideas and approaches to the project. This creates some difficulties, but Schreiber said they did not outweigh the benefits of having a diverse group.
Some students, however, are skeptical of the team's ability to create such a high-tech robot.
"I really don't think they can do it," said Jason Crowther, Wichita junior and cognitive psychology student. "They can program them to act like they think and look like they think, but they won't think like humans, and they won't have other things, like ambition."
Even if building the robot is possible, Crowther said a robot that thought and acted like people could take way from human beings' sense of individuality and self-importance.
The group's diversity has earned praise from Beverly Davenport Sypher, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences.
Michelle Sudyka, Omaha, Neb., freshman, has different concerns. While she supports advances in scientists' understanding of humans, she doesn't want robots to become too powerful.
"It's kind of freaky," she said. "If it's not abused that it's good to understand humans. I don't want robots to overtake the world or anything."
Sudyka would like to see robots that can do things like help out around the house.
"More practical robots would be cool," Sudyka said. "If there was a robot that could clean the house efficiently and it didn't cost $20,000, then why not. We're not in the science fiction movies yet, and robots aren't attacking us."

Perspective
Taxpayer funds shouldn't pay for bigoted art
When President Reagan tried to abolish the National Endowment for the Arts in 1981, it was on the grounds that it wasted taxpayers' money. Plus, nowhere in the Constitution is Congress empowered to spend money on the arts, so not only was it wasteful, it was also unlawful. But facing a constitutionally-literate Democratic Congress, Reagan couldn't marshal enough votes and the plan fizzled.
The abolitionists rose again, however, in 1989 — this time opposing the NEA on moral grounds. The outrage stemmed from the NEA's funding of anti-Christian bigotry like Andres Serrano's "Piss Christ," which depicted a crucifix submerged in urine. But again, attempts to abolish the NEA failed, because of baseless, hysterical cries from the Left that puritanical Republicans were trying to censor artistic expression.
The third act in this sordid, cyclical saga came in 1999 with the "Sensation" exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Modern Art, which included Chris Offil's infamous, dung-splattered, porno-littered "Holy Virgin Mary" painting. Called "perverted and disgusting" by Mayor Rudy Giuliani and blasphemous by religious groups, the painting reignited a 20-

year-old debate on the role of public money in the arts. Because the museum annually receives $7 million in public funds, should taxpayers have to support such bigotry?
Today's controversy surrounds Renee Cox's quaint contribution to the art world, a photo entitled "Yo Mamma's Last Supper," again displayed at the Brooklyn Museum. Here, a naked Black woman takes the place of Jesus Christ and is surrounded by eleven Black disciples. The 12th is White, and — you guessed it — it's Judas. Cox proudly admits prejudice against the Catholic Church, saying it cares only about money; she even blames Catholics for slavery.
This begs the question: Is there anything so offensive as to be unacceptable for display at the Brooklyn Museum? I wonder if the museum would display a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr., splattered with elephant dung. What about featuring an artist who proudly denies the Holocaust?
It seems the only people who can be publicly defamed are Christians, and at taxpayer expense, no less. Not only New Yorkers are footing the bill, either: The NEA has given more than $500,000 to the Brooklyn Museum since 1996.
But haven't we always heard that minority groups are the sole and absolute judges of what is or isn't bigoted? The NAACP says the Confederate flag is racist; it must come down. The homosexual community says the Boy Scouts are homophobic; their funding must be vanked.
So why not remove the "Yo Mamma" exhibit when Catholics nationwide are deeply offended? Why ignore William Donohue of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights when he says that "to vulgarize Christ in this manner is unconscionable?" Why, when no civil rights leader's likeness would ever be displayed smeared with excrement, is the Virgin Mary's so defiled?
Those who oppose taxpayer funding of the arts are often called censors, trying to destroy freedom of expression. But why? No one's suggesting that artists be prevented from displaying their work, no matter how offensive — just not at taxpayers' expense.
There are plenty of private museums that would be delighted to showcase such controversial artwork. To hear some arguments, you'd think there was no such thing as art before there were taxpayers to fund it.
But since it's unlikely that government will stop funding the arts, there should be some minimum standards of decency. And I don't think withholding funds from anti-Christian bigots is too much to ask. If burning a cross is brutally racist, then, at the very least, taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for one drowned in urine.

Perspective
Encounter with cops prompts drinking tips
probably read the Kansan fairly regularly, so you probably saw an article a couple of weeks ago about a KU student who was arrested near The Hawk for impeding traffic and attacking a police car. This student was heavily intoxicated and, when approached by the police, he mounted the car horn, began slapping the windshield and yelling obscenities about the KU- Iowa State basketball game.
If you are reading this lame column, you probably read the Konean fanonly story.
I know him. Before I say anything else, let me tell you that this man, whom I will refer to as Mr. Beers, is a pretty regular guy. Contrary to what his actions might indicate, he's not a raving meth addict or PCP junkie. The only odd thing about Mr. Beers is that he really likes KU basketball. After spending a night in jail for his team, Mr. Beers certainly deserves the title "SuperFan."
PETER M. BECKER
Besides watching KU basketball, Mr. Beers, like many college students, enjoys drinking. Nothing is wrong with this, but it seems everyday students such as Mr. Beers get in trouble when they've had too much to drink.
Matt Overstreet columnist opinion@kansan.com
If outdoors, especially in the city, do not walk around screaming. As Mr. Beers can testify, this is the quickest way to attract police, and besides, it's just plain rude. This tip especially applies in the area around my apartment.
This prompted me to create a list of drinking tips that will come in handy for my friend Mr. Beers and all other students who might grab a case of cold ones this weekend.
Don't allow yourself to be photographed.
The Internet is full of candid photos of drunks
vomiting, naked or engaging in "odd" behavior. I know because I have a large collection of them on my roommate's computer. Please save your mom the pain of checking her e-mail one day and finding a picture of her pride and joy passed out naked in the bathroom of a Denny's.
passes offaked in the barn soon or a bounty. "Don't buy pills of any sort from anyone. I've noticed a whole industry of scary looking guys who sell cough drops to drunken freshmen and try to pass them off as Ecstasy. A good rule to remember is that if a pill has Benedryl written on its side, it's probably not worth 30 bucks.
Don't be destructive either to yourself, other people or property. Many drunk people enjoy smashing things; this is rarely a good idea. I learned this lesson the hard way when I threw my Nintendo from the window of my dorm room. Although fun at the time, this was a mistake, as is most drunken destruction of property.
- Keep your clothes on. If you're a girl, chances are that the guys in the bar chancing "take it off" don't have your best interest in mind. If you're a guy, it's a good bet nobody wants to see your fat beer belly. I don't know how many pairs of khaki I have lost to the "I-mo-sexy, I don't-need-pants" syndrome while drunk.
- Be nice to the police. In every drunken crowd, one person always insists on yelling expletive-laced rap lyrics at every passing police car. Don't be that person. If the police catch you, they will treat you as you have treated them.
I hope everyone keeps at least some of these tips in mind as they head out this weekend. If you do, you'll probably be a lot happier when you wake up Sunday afternoon. If you don't, and tonight you find yourself naked from the waist down, punching the windshield of a police car and being videotaped by Inside Edition, don't say I didn't try to stop you.

Editorial Strict rules are necessary for financing religious clubs
Providing money to groups is fair if funds are not for religious activities.
Student Senate allocated $387 to the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics Feb. 15. Since then, there has been considerable debate surrounding a new bill that would allow Student Senate to also finance religious organizations in a "viewpoint-neutral fashion," meaning that Senate could not deny funds to a group based only on the group's religious viewpoint.
So long as this guideline is enforced and money is allocated to religious groups only for general expenses — such as advertising and office supplies — the new rules are a good idea.
The reasoning behind this stipulation is the constitutional doctrine of the separation of church and state, which maintains that religious and government institutions must remain separate. This new bill states that Senate cannot grant money for unique partisan activities or to a religious organization that fosters only one viewpoint. For example, Senate could not finance a minister's speech to a strictly Catholic group.
Instead, the new bill proposes dual funding, which would allow funds for a speaker who would discuss viewpoints that encompass several groups.
However, the bill's downfall could be vague language. There is no established definition for what constitutes a religious or a partisan group. Ben Walker, student body president, said this was why the bill was pulled from Senate's agenda Feb. 21.
This by no means suggests that the bill has died. Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, and Lisa Braun, finance committee chairwoman, are working on a new draft of the bill to clarify the guidelines.
One way those rules could be enforced would be to require strict bookkeeping to track how the allocated money is spent.
Student Senate should not discriminate against any student group based on their religious or political views. However, a state institution allocating funds to any sort of religious group must closely examine how that money is used.

If I remember correctly, the article about the Big 12 BSU conference actually focused on how the fight didn't throw it off the focus. It actually focused on the positive aspects of it. Whoever wrote that comment needs to go back and read that story.
I was so glad to see you guys did a story on the closing of the Disney Call Center. I'm one of those people who's going to be out of a job now, and I want everyone to know how lousy Disney is.
Sheri Martin's ignorance is displayed most clearly in her "Christianity fails ..." article when she says that the Bible says that sex is dirty and women who have sex are dirty. I don't know if she's ever read the Bible.

Do some people think saying that Quin Snyder wears panties is an appropriate insult because they are sexist or are they just homophobes?
The Kansan failed to publish any criticism of Matt Cox's abortion article, and yet spends time publishing Free for All calls about how we should wave pants at Quin Snyder. Apparently, the Free for All is selected only for sexist comments.

Why does the UDK have an entire sextion with seven pages comprised of 13 stories just about sports, which is in the interest of only a small faction of the population, whereas the rest of the paper has 21 stories, which is supposed to cover other topics?

Letters to the Editor Christianity remains relevant
For someone claiming to be a "born-and-raised Christian," Sheri Martin displayed a startling lack of knowledge about that religion in her column yesterday ("Christianity fails to stay relevant in modern times"). Perhaps it will earn her brownie points in her religious studies class, but it will only dismay thinking adherents to any religion, all of whom will be alarmed at the misconceptions and jargon-laden stereotypes. Martin presents us "frost."
Martin identifies the Christian God as male, ignoring the fact that Christian theology identifies God as a sexless spirit. Yes, the Bible refers to God using the masculine pronoun, but the Old Testament also uses a plural pronoun. Martin has mistaken the limits of grammar — genders of pronouns — for the nature of God. No Christian theology with which I'm familiar countenances such anthropomorphizing of its deity.
Further, she confuses societal conditions of Bible times with theology. An accurate portrayal of a society does not equate to approval of that society — if it did, journalism would be the tawdiest of fields. Reporting the conditions in German death camps following the Holocaust would be considered approval of those conditions, following Martin's "logic," for she condemns the Bible for presenting such historical realities as "the great physical burden of delivering multiple children."
Finally, to argue that the Bible porterxes sex as "dirty" requires that one completely eliminate the Song of Songs — and that's just a start.
Martin's presentation of Christianity reveals a sociopolitical bias doubtless shaped by the classes in which she learned to describe religious beliefs in absurd terms such as "the absolutist madonna-nawher dichotomy." The college experience includes questioning beliefs—one's own as well as others—but ignorance in questioning is just as nefarious as falling to question.
Aaron D. Profitt
Overland Park senior
Sheri Martin's view of modern-day Christianity is greatly distorted. She says she was raised in a Christian home, but it seems doubtful that she ever truly embraced her so-called Christian faith. Many of her arguments and points are based on misquotations and ignorance. Christianity is as relevant to today's society as it was during the last two millennia.
Her first point states that "religions echo society and culture." American society and culture were founded based on a deep Christian faith, not the other way around. Many of the
founding fathers were devout believers. Many societies around the world have developed based on religious beliefs. Also, early Christianity did not suppress just female deities but all deities other than the one God.
The Bible's morals are not inconsistent, as Martin claims. Sex is not taught as dirty but as something for a husband and wife to enjoy together. Women who have sex are not dirty. Only adulterers, prostitutes and those who frequent them are sinful. Also, the sin was not placed on mankind through Eve. The Bible clearly states that it was through Adam.
Martin's "feminist, independent thinking" is warped. Christianity teaches kindness and unselfish love. Is she saying these wonderful things are outdated? I hope not. Without them, the world is a very sad place.
Lee Sigley Wichita junior
Sheri Martin's comments are not surprising. In this age, most people believe that morals are outdated. I think Martin has trouble with the Judeo-Christian tradition because of its unwavering stance on the truth. If I dissected everything Martin said, this letter would fill up the newspaper so I will comment on one thing Martin brings up repeatedly.
Martin is ignorant when it comes to the Bible. For her to state that the Bible teaches that sex and women
who have sex are dirty is absurd. Scripture teaches that sex is an awesome gift of God. However, God meant for sex to be shared by a man and woman in marriage. Sex outside of these boundaries presents a huge potential for danger. To many people's surprise, God blesses sex — if it is in the appropriate context.
Mike Hoffman Chicago senior
Viewing execution is appalling
Let the healing begin, eh? The Kansan's position that the families of certain victims deserve to see executions is appalling ("Victims have right to view execution." Tuesday).
No evidence supports the notion that capital punishment offers therapy, allows closure or engenders forgiveness by the victims' associates.
Some may believe the demands of victims' families justify capital punishment. It is more likely that viewing an execution will delay recovery.
There may have been a stage in society's development when frequent demands for payment for a person's murder or longstanding family feuds meant that the death penalty, by the state, represented cultural progress. That time is long gone.
It is time to end the inhumane, outdated death penalty.

Art exhibit reveals Picasso's erotic side
As he grew up, studying at art schools in Barcelona and Madrid, Picasso discovered night life and prostitutes, who would later serve as his inspiration for the watershed "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" ("The Young Ladies of Avignon") in 1907.
The Associated Press
The first drawing dates from 1894, when Picasso was 13 years old. In the margins of a book, the teenager drew two donkeys coupling. Still, other images are violent. His 1904 pen sketch of a woman being strangled is downright grisly.
PARIS — From playful ink sketches of prostitutes wearing nothing but gaudy stockings to a small, muted watercolor evoking an infinitely gentle embrace, the works in a new Paris exhibit on Picasso are a first-ever compilation of the artist's erotic masterpieces.
"Art is not chaste." Picasso once said. "Or if it is, it is not art." Despite the artist's bent for frankness, many of his earthier sketches, notebooks and paintings have long been hidden in drawers or behind curtains — until now.

Picasso Erotique, showing in the Jeu de Paume gallery in the Tulierles gardens, will run through May 20. The show reaches into the artist's prolific sexual imagination and traces a line from his adolescent initiations with prostitutes through his famous romances to his final meditations on love and aging.
"This is supposed to be the most famous artist of his century," said Jean Jacques-Lebel, who knew Picasso and was instrumental in mounting the exhibit said. "Everybody's so jaded, and they think they've seen everything, but we're proving that it's not the case."
More than half the 300 or so works in the collection have been kept from public viewing until now—including a 1903 oil painting owned by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, which has never dared display the scene depicting a very young Picasso in a bordello.
Many of Picasso's sketches and paintings were hidden out of fear of tainting his marketability — especially in America, home to most of the artist's fans, Lebel said. Collectors on the other side of the Atlantic were unwilling to accept scenes depicting explicit sexual acts, which Picasso drew repeatedly.
The exhibit moves in chronological order, stretching from Picasso's adolescence to his death in 1973.

International opportunities
Forum to promote world experience
By Michelle Ward writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Jim Kelly wanted to experience what he had only read about in textbooks at the University of Kansas. The native Kansan's desire to see the world prompted him to take an internship in Southeast Asia.
Kelly will speak about his experiences in Thailand at tomorrow's KU international opportunities workshop, "A World of Opportunity." The morning discussions, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Malott Room on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union, will focus on the importance of international exposure.
The conference focuses on underclassmen at the University, who still have the freedom to incorporate study abroad, foreign languages and other international experiences into their education, said Anne Merydith-Wolf, Office of International Programs project coordinator.
Kelly recommended the exposure to all students as a life changing adventure.
"You really start to learn to appreciate other cultures," said Kelly, Olathe senior. "You see not only how big the world is, but you learn so much more about your own culture and yourself."
The morning will begin with Charlie Ranson, president of Kansas Inc., who will give a professional view of international trade and its global connections.
A host of University faculty and staff will then lead discussions on cross-cultural communication issues and paving the way for being competitive in the international environment of today's global village.
Daphne Johnston, assistant dean of the graduate school, will speak about the importance of understanding different mind sets and attitudes. She said although some students knew a foreign language, it didn't mean they understood the world views or patterns of communication of the people of that country. To allow this point to sink in, she will have activities for students that will "shake things up" and give them different perspectives.
"I think it is never too early to start thinking about what you need in your tool box." Johnston said. "Students need some background in understanding events from a global perspective."
The keynote address will be given by Jimmy Morrison, with KU Center for International Business Education and Research, and former president and CEO of North American operations for Siemens
Merydith-Wolf said she had chosen him as keynote speaker for his experience, insight and previous work experience with the giant German corporation.
"He is an alumnus of KU." Merydith-Wolf said. "He started here and went off to do some great things."
The presentation will continue with students, including Kelly, speaking about their international experiences. It will conclude with an idea for a plan of action from members of KU faculty.
Students can preregister for the conference at 300 Wall Hall, 108 Lippincott Hall or the department of international program's Web site, www.ku.edu/home/oip. Students can also register at 8:45 a.m. tomorrow outside the Malott Room in the Kansas Union. The registration fee is $6, which includes an information packet and refreshments.

Web site provides campus crime figures
By Amanda Beglin
By Amantha Begin writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students can have the knowledge of campus crime at their fingertips — some just don't know it yet.
Since Fall 1999, the KU Public Safety Office has posted its daily crime log on the Internet at www.ku.edu/~kucops.
But many KU students have no idea the site exists. Chris Keary, assistant director of public safety, wants to change that.
"The concept is to get the information out to the community," Keary said. "Along with the crime log, we have other things like alcohol rules and a list of campus emergency phone numbers. The
site is a good way to get this out."
The daily crime log is posted by 10 a.m. every day and doesn't include traffic accidents, Keary said.
Melanie Hull, Emporia senior, frequently visits the site. Hull said she visited the online crime log four or five times a week and was surprised to see what happened after-hours and during the school day.
"It's really pretty interesting," Hull said. "Things get stolen, broken, lost and tampered with. It's bad news to read, but I want to know what's going on."
And she has a legal right to know.
Congress passed a Student Right-
To-Know and Campus Security
Act in 1991, requiring colleges to publicize campus crime for the previous three years.
Later amended and renamed the Clery Act, the amendment also required making daily crime logs accessible to the public. An online daily log has been available in the Public Safety Office, 302 Carruth-O'Leary Hall, since 1998, Keary said.
Reary said the Clery Act was further explained on the University's Safety Web site.
The Web site features "Ask-A-Cop," an opportunity for students to have their questions answered. It also includes links to other crime-related University Web sites and a lost-and-found page with photos of the police-guarded items.
Keary said he would eventually like to change the look of the Web site, and said he hoped students would be a part of it.
"We've advertised for student positions, but we didn't have any responses," Keary said. "Because of our budget, we can't pay them very much. So I know it's easy for them to go somewhere else, build a site, and get paid a lot more for it. But we'd like the help."

Queers and Allies Web site gets a makeover
By Amanda Sears
Special to the Kansan
Queers and Allies is getting a major Internet makeover.
A more content-rich, user-friendly Web site will replace the current Queers and Allies home page today.
The new Web site offers current queer news headlines, the group's constitution and links to other queer resources in Lawrence and beyond. Visitors can express their opinions on a message board, subscribe to the Queers and Allies listserv and cast their votes about current issues.
Sean Ringey, Clearwater sophmore and publicity coordinator for Queers and Allies, said he thought the change was positive.
"I think it will just be a much better resource for everyone," Ringey said.
By updating the Web site regularly, Ringey said he hoped it would keep current members informed in addition to encouraging prospective members to attend meetings and get involved.
Laurie Sisk, Les/Bi/Gay Transgender liaison for the Student Development Center and Kansan
photographer, said she thought the Web site would help students who were insecure about their sexual orientation.
"People who are nervous can meet please someone on the message board to help them get involved," said Sisk, West Mineral graduate student. "They will know they have friends and a resource available."
Ringey has been building the Web site for three months in partnership with Jeremy Wolff, Queers and Allies Speaker's Bureau coordinator. Ringey estimated that more than 100
hours had been spent on the change. "I'm really tired of it, and I'm glad it's almost done," he said.
The new Web site offers more detailed insight into the group's history. Queers and Allies has existed on campus for 30 years under several names.
"Most people don't know we're so established, but they will now," Ringey said.

cooperation puts food on the table why 31 people sharing 1 house with 6 bathrooms think it's a good idea

MARMITE
though it's been in Lawrence for decades and in cities across the country for a century, cooperative housing is gaining popularity in the local community.
by the local community. Lawrence is home to two cooperative houses, Josh Lester, manager at the old est co-op in Lawrence, the Sunflower House at 1406 Tennessee St., said he thought they were becoming more popular.
"Right now, I have 11 applications on my desk and just one room to fill," Lester said, admitting that such a situation had never occurred in his eight years living at the house. "I think students are getting to know about the house more and wanting to live here."

While the low cost and constant camaraderie are attractive enough to apply, Lester said prospective members had to meet at least one criterion.
"You have to be open minded," he said "You have to be really accepting of all different kinds of people, racial differences, sexual differences, all kinds. Thirty-one people do live here and we share a common space. That's what a cooperative is all about."
According to the North American Students of Cooperation (NASCO) Web site, a cooperative is defined as a business controlled by the people who use it. A cooperative living situation, then, is one in which the house is operated by the people who live there. The Sunflower House and the 1614 Co-op, where seven people live in a similar situation 1614 Tennessee St., are members of NASCO and the Sunflower House sends representatives to the convention in Ann Arbor, Mich., each year.
Lester, who graduated from the University of Kansas in 1988 and is now an HSES judo instructor, said he thought people joined Sunflower House for different reasons.
"We've got people in here because it's cheap, and some are more idealistic," he said. "I like the community of it, it's inexpensive, it's mostly for economical living, it's more environmentally safe and it promotes working together."
A month of living at the Sunflower House costs residents from $164 to $221 a month, including utilities. Residence and scholarship hall costs range from $780 a year for Watkins or Miller scholarship halls to $5,218 for Lewis or Templin residence halls.
"There's a good atmosphere. It's like a big, dysfunctional family," she said. "A lot of my friends think it's kind of cool. And it's cheaper than student housing."
Chelsea Rae Cummings, 19-year-old Sunflower House resident who will begin classes this summer at the University, is new to the house. She has been living there since October.
At the Sunflower House, residents prepare meals Monday through Thursday for those who sign up. Food costs an additional $30 a month. Co-op residents must share living quarters and the kitchen and divide chores and maintenance duties to keep down the cost of rent.
Hilltopics series:
This story is the first in a three-part series on co-op housing.The series will feature a photo story and a profile of a student who lives in Sunflower House.
Steve Dubb, executive director of NASCO, said the average cost of living in co-op housing around the country was usually about $1,000 to $2,000 less than comparable student housing.
it then died down after World War II and picked up again in the 1960s.
Dubb also said the first cooperatives, factory cooperatives, began in 1844 in Rochdale, England, and the boom in co-op housing began in the 1930s. However, according to the Sunflower House manual, the first cooperative in Lawrence opened in 1919 at 1137 Ohio St. For more than two dozen cooperative housing owned
decades, cooperative housing surged.

tion (UKSHA) reformed after dink ing in the mid-60s, supporting cooperative housing. Comprised of faculty members, local businessmen and students, UKSHA, which is not affiliated with the University's Department of Student Housing, supervised the cooperatives and promoted their growth. However, by 1965, all UKSHA properties had been sold because of declining popularity.
Four years later, Human Development and Family Life professor, Keith Miller, discovered UKSHA and started the Sunflower House.
Now the house is in its 29th year and other co-ops are sprucing around Lawrence as well.
Derek Kellogg, Lawrence junior and resident at the 1614 Co-op, which he said was at least two years old, said he thought being open minded was a requisite quality to living in a co-op.
"If you are weirded out by any sort of quirkiness, you really shouldn't live here," he said. "It's a very liberal environment."
Neilogg said he was familiar with the perception he thought most people had of cooperative living.
"I haven't really asked too many people about this but I'm fairly sure most people think co-ops are the resting place for nouveau hippies," he said, laughing. "But we're just a bunch of people who like getting along with others and living in a community."
Zach Marten, McPherson senior and member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, lives across the street from the Sunflower House. Although he said he did not have a set perception of its residents, he admitted he didn't know much about co-op living.
"I do think it's a good thing," said Marten, who chose to live in a fraternity partly because he had friends there. "I would prefer to go into a situation knowing some people beforehand, so that kind of situation is not for me, but I can see that being good for a lot of people."
Dubb said co-op housing was good for a wide variety of people. Like Lester and Kellogg, Dubb said he thought co-op living was for those who desire to be a part of a community.
"Most essential is a willingness to assume responsibility," he said. "While cooperatives provide cheap housing, it involves doing work with other kinds of people. It involves a commitment to living in a community."

ScareCrows' fans are real losers in sale
KANSAS
KANSAS
20
int.
Kansas students who happen to be fans of professional hockey are about to lose one of their two local options to see a pro game.
Kansas City Blades fans needn't worry. The Blades, who play in the International Hockey League, aren't going anywhere.
On the other hand, the Topeka ScareCrows of the Central Hockey League are definitely disappearing from the professional hockey ranks. The 'Crows owner, New York attorney Jonathan Fleisig, said he was losing too much money and sold the Topeka team to Northwest Sports, owned by William "Butch" Johnson, of Hayward, Wis., Johnson plans to keep the team in Topeka, but it will be an amateur team in the United States Hockey League next year.
Topeka-area hockey fans claim that Fleisig also violated their trust — when he was making the deal to sell the 'Crows, Fleisig was insisting no transfer of the team was forthcoming.
That's where the controversy begins. By selling the ScareCrows to someone who will make them an amateur team, Fleisig seems to have violated an agreement with the CHL for the ScareCrows to play in the league in 2001-2002 and 2002-2003.
The CHL, like the ScareCrows' fans, didn't approve of what Fleisig did, but what could they do?

In mid-February, Bill Shuck, general manager of the Wichita Thunder, presently in fifth place in the Western Division and well behind the fourth-place ScareCrows, said the league was contemplating forcing the ScareCrows out of the league and barring them from the playoffs. If that happened, the Thunder would be in the playoffs — not the 'Crows.
A CHL spokesperson denied that the league was considering that option.
However, on Feb. 20, just a week later, the CHL booted the Topeka franchise out of the league, terminating their participation in the rest of the season.
The CHL claimed that the ScareCrows and the Border City Bandits (Texarkana, Texas) had failed to meet numerous financial obligations to the league. The CHL also contended that Topeka had violated their agreement with the CHL by deciding to withdraw from the league after fulfilling only three years of a five-year agreement.
The Bandits went belly-up, but the 'Crows decided to fight
Fleisig contends that finances had nothing to do with the 'Crows getting ejected. He said that the failure of the Border City franchise left the league with 11 teams and the CHL decided it was easier to manage the league with an even number of teams. So the ScareCrows were kicked out because they weren't going to be in the league next year, anyway.
One of Fleisig's Topeka representatives said Fleisig does not deny failing to meet certain financial obligations. However, he contended that Fleisig stopped making his payments because the CHL breached the contract first by failing to enforce the league's salary cap, putting the small-city franchises — including Topeka — at a disadvantage. Sound familiar, baseball fans?
The ScareCrows went to court to get some relief and won, if only temporarily. Shawnee County District Judge Thomas Conklin issued a temporary restraining order forbidding the CHL from kicking the ScareCrows out of the league or preventing them from playing in the playoffs if they qualify.
Hockey is notorious for its on-the-rink fights, but a pretty nasty off-the-ice scrap is shaping up in Topeka. Judge Conklin will hear arguments in the case on Monday, but the CHL's Topeka lawyer is trying to move the case to federal court because of the conflict's inter-state nature.
And, the fans are angry. Topea fans not only have been venting their frustration at the CHL, they are also disgusted with Fleisig for balling out, and they showed their frustration by staying home. The ScareCrows' attendance plummeted after Fleisig announced the sale of the franchise.
If the CHL prevails, the real losers will not be Fleisig and the ScareCrows. The real losers will-be the Topeka- and Lawrence-area hockey fans, including season ticket holders who may get nothing for their money.

Seniors to say goodbye
By Chris Wristen sports@kanson.com Kanson sportswriter
Dozens of campers lined the Allen Fieldhouse concourse for nine days so far, waiting eagerly for the Kansas-Missouri game at 1 p.m. Sunday, but nobody is more excited for the game than Kenny Gregory.
Gregory, a senior forward for No. 10 Kansas, will be honored before and after the game as part of the Senior Night festivities. He and fellow seniors Luke Axelt and Eric Chenowith will be playing their final home game as Javhaws.
"I'm going to be real pumped up," Gregory said. "It's not a sad moment, but it's the ending to a chapter of my life. It's going to be really emotional, but I promise I won't cry like most people do."
Although Gregory promised not to shed any tears, weeping traditionally plays a role in the post-game senior speeches. Chenowith didn't make any promises regarding his emotions, but he did share some insight into the content of his speech.
"It's going to be a great day." Chenowith said. "I'm going to thank the fans. So many of those people have prayed for my mother's recovery (from breast cancer). Many of those people have cheered for me, so it's going to be a good day for me to say thank you."
Before giving thanks, Chenowith said that he wanted to help his team earn a revenge victory against the Tigers. Missouri beat Kansas 75-66 on Jan. 29 in Columbia, Mo. Chenowith said ending his home career with a win against the Tigers would be perfect, especially considering conference tournament positioning was still in limbo. A Kansas win would lock up the No.2 seed, but a loss could put the 'Hawks in fourth place.
"It'd be a great way to go, with a win," Chenwith said. "I would love to beat them at home because No. 1, it's my last game in the fieldhouse; No. 2, it'll keep us in the race for the Big 12 Conference title and give us a better seed in the tournament. My family's going to be here, too, so there's going to be a lot of emphasis to win that game."
Kansas has won 17 straight Senior Day games, dating back to 1976 when Nebraska edged the Jayhawks 62-58. A high seed in the NCAA Tournament is at stake as well, but more than that, Gregory is concerned about building momentum heading into the postseason.
"So far we've won three in a row; hopefully we'll get number four." Gregory said. "It will help our confidence a lot come tournament time."
Those three wins came against Colorado at home and on the road at Nebraska and Kansas State. Chenowith said those wins, matched with sophomore forward Drew Gooden's return from a wrist injury, had the Jayhawks on a roll and their confidence on the rise again.
"we beat Nebraska, and we beat K-State on the road — those are two good road
wins," Chenowith said. "We didn't win by 20, but we got solid wins and that helps us because it builds our confidence. We know we can go into a hostile environment and win."
They won't face a hostile environment on Sunday, though. For one final time, the seniors will play their arch-rival in their home turf.

Snow hinders baseball team
By Ryan Malaschock
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas coach Bobby Randall reclined back in his chair and groaned because of the ache in his back yesterday. That's what hours of shoveling snow from a baseball field will do to a baseball coach.
Kansas' last three home openers against Rockhurst, Creighton and Baker were canceled because of snow. Kansas worked outside yesterday, attempting to move as much snow from Hogland Ballpark's field to avoid canceling this weekend's matchup with co-leader No. 12 Oklahoma State..
Randall said the cancellations hampered his ability to give playing time to players who needed it.
"The most frustrating thing is that I've got a lot of guys who need to get out there in a game," Randall said. "A lot of pitchers are throwing well in the bulpen — Grant Williams, Randy Stramn, Jeff Davis, Dan Oson and Eric Thompson."
"The canceled games were games that we could have been in and got some experience, and there's nothing like game experience."

snow has caused Kansas (6-4, 0-3) to cancel three home games, and has prevented the team from frequent outdoor practice. As of yesterday, Kansas had practiced four times at Hogland Ballpark.
Although the weather puts Kansas at a disadvantage early in the season, junior third baseman Ryan Klocksien said the indoor practice time in Anschutz Sports Pavilion allowed the team to focus on the basics of baseball.
"It's hard to not be outside, but we get a lot done at Anschutz," Klocksen said. "It's good for us because we get back to our fundamentals inside, and I think we need that after the Oklahoma series."
Should Hoglund Ballpark be ready for action this weekend, Kansas will run into the hottest team in the Big 12. Oklahoma State (10-2, 3-0) swept Missouri last weekend in their home-opening series. Oklahoma State has the Big 12's best team ERA.
Kansas heads into the weekend recovering from a three-game sweep in its Big 12 season-opening series at Oklahoma. Randall said the team needed to improve in several aspects to prepare for the Cowboys.
"Truthfully, we weren't that far away at Oklahoma, and we felt like we should have won at least a game," Randall said. "We need to improve on everything, but especially we need to do a better job hitting with two strikes and hitting in the clutch."
The Oklahoma State series is tentatively scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday and a 1 p.m. doubleheader Monday.

Russell attributes success to coaches
Bv Michael Sudhalter

Kansan sportswriter
Scott Russell's status as world-class athlete for the Kansas track and field team has been a gradual climb against one opponent — himself.
Russell has broken his personal record in the weight throw on several occasions as the season has progressed. Most recently, Russell had a throw of 75-10, which was 2 feet, 4 inches better than his former best at the Big 12 Championships in Lincoln, Neb., last weekend. He attributes much of his success to the new coaching staff, especially throws coach Doug Reynolds.
"Coach Reynolds helped me improve my technique, and I've been able to add more muscle than in the past," Russell said, "Coach Reynolds has brought in a new upbeat attitude for the team."
Reynolds said he was fortunate to coach an athlete as talented as Russell. Russell's throw stood as a world best for this year until Southern Methodist weight thrower Libor Charfreitag topped it with a 78-10 throw in the Western Athletic Conference championships last Saturday.
"Scott Russell is one of the most talented athletes that I've ever seen," Reynolds said. "He is the best doubler of the javelin and weight throw events in history."
"He had to do some re-learning of some technical things," Reynolds said. "I gave him the bricks, and he makes the wall."
Russell, who hails from Windsor, Ontario, chose Kansas because his high school coach had a connection with members of the Jayhawks staff. The 6-foot-9, 270-pound senior was also recruited for basketball by Detroit Mercy, Eastern Michigan and Marquette. While he enjoys both sports, Russell chose to pursue track because of his commitment to the sport.
Reynolds said that Russell has worked to improve his technique throughout the course of the season.
"Track is something I've always done while basketball was always in my family." Russell said.

"It kind of gives me a change in training since I am competing in more than one event."Russell said.
Some of Russell's teammates said they realized that the senior brought many things to the team.
"Russell is great to train with and he always works hard," said junior teammate Ryan Speers. "He is also a great leader and fun to be around."
While Russell knows that a first place finish in the weight throw at the NCAA competition is possible, he knows that there will be some difficult competition.
"It will take a big throw to defeat Libor Charfreitag of SMU." Russell said. "He threw a 78 and is pushing a 79 or 80; it might take a 79-80 throw to win the competition."
"I really want to go into the rehabilitation
A double major in physical therapy and athletic training, Russell plans on attending graduate school after his days of college competition are finished.
of injuries; 'I'll probably go to grad school for physical therapy,' Russell said. "I also hope to continue competing and try to qualify for the 2004 Olympics in Athens."

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
You could get a raise or some sort of a bonus today. But don't brag about it. One of your friends is in a delicate financial situation. That sideyed look will make it hard for you to keep from giving him a loan. And you just know a loan isn't going to be good for him, don't you?
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
You can have fun today. In fact, too much fun.
Don't get too rowdy, even if you think you can. The odds of the boss coming back unexpectedly are too great. Just assume somebody important is watching you.
Cancer (June 22-July 23) — Today is a 5.
You need to do some work for someone else, and you have several chores on your own list. What about fun? Don't you get any time for that? Actually, no. Not until Sunday. Schedule a hot date for then.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
You're so popular that it's hard to make time for practical matters. But if you don't, you could accidentally get yourself too far into debt. It can happen so quickly, too, so you'd better balance your checkbook before you go out.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 5.
If you think everybody around you is crazy, well,
you're right. You're the only one exercising any
common sense. Your first instinct is to lay low, but
that may not work. At least remind them of what
they're trying to accomplish. Nicely, of course.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
Libra (sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
You may get an enticing invitation, and wouldn't you love to just drop everything and go?
Unfortunately, you haven't finished your work ahead of schedule. But don't fret: If you finish tomorrow, you can go.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
There are ways to save that you haven't discovered.
You could be wasting resources or paying too much interest. Go after those pennies with a magnifying glass. You'll be delighted at how many you find.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Your roommate wants one thing and you want another. All you can agree on is that change is necesary. You care enough about each other to work out a compromise. Explain that to a concerned yet innocent bystander.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
You're a hard worker, and never more so than now.
You may have to do a job over again due to someone else's mistake. The good news is, you should be paid well for the work you're doing. You deserve it, because it's interfering with your social life.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
You'd like to shower your loved ones with goodies, and you'd also like to support a worthy cause. But you're not made of money. Don't worry: What they really want is your attention. Still, dividing that up between them will be hard enough.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5.

there's not enough of you to go around? Well,
you're right. Guess it's about time for you to set
some limits. If you don't, who will?

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Senior Jon Reyes led the Kansas men's swimming team by placing ninth overall in the 500-yard freestyle during preliminaries of the Big 1.2 Conference Swimming and Diving Championships yesterday in the
Senior swimmer leads team at Big 12 meet
Championships yesterday in the Jamaail Texas Swim Center in Austin.
LION
KANSAS SWIMMING
Reyes had a season-best 4:31,76 time in the 500, taking ninth and qualifying for the consolation finals. Sophomore Brian Soria also qualified for the consolations by finishing 16th in 4:36,11. Individuals gain team points for their respective squads by qualifying for championship finals (places 1-8) or consolation finals (places 9-16).
Of the 18 KU swimmers participating yesterday in the 500 freestyle, 200 individual medley and 50 freestyle races, 17 recorded season-bests.
女
Texas, which has a sizable lead after the diving competition that was held two weeks ago, dominated the first day's preliminary action, placing at least four swimmers in each of the three events that took place this afternoon.
Finals for the 500 freestyle, 200 individual medley, 50 freestyle, 200 freestyle and 400 medley relays, will be at 7 tonight.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The Texas A&M men's basketball coaching staff has been named the best dressed staff in the nation, while coach Melvin Watkins was tabbed as the best dressed head coach in the Big 12 Conference by College Insider.com, a popular Internet site devoted to college basketball.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
A&M's basketball staff deemed best dressed
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"As for the most stylish staff, well, it was no contest — the coaching staff at Texas A&M gets the nod," said Angela Lento, who writes a fashion column throughout the season for the Web site. "The battle for the Big 12's best dressed head coach was virtually decided back in October. The class of the Big 12 is one of the favorites for the Best-Dressed Coach in America. I love that handkerchief."
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech head coach James Dickey, whose team has dropped 10 of its last 11 games and has struggled for four straight seasons, will be evaluated after the season's final game against No. 24 Texas tomorrow, school administrators said.
Tech will evaluate coach's poor record
"I don't think anybody's satisfied with the season," said Tech athletic director Gerald Myers in yesterday's editions of the Lubbock Avalanche Journal. "Not the coach, the fans, anybody."
Dickey, who has three years remaining on his contract, has been at Tech for 10 years.
In that time, he is compiled a 166-122 record. The Red Raiders are 9-17 overall and 3-12 in the Big 12 so far this season.
LIFE SCIENCE CENTRE
Dickey's frustration with his team's record became apparent several times this week.
He was charged with a technical foul during Wednesday evening's 80-63 loss to No. 8 Iowa State after he shoved a television camera as he walked off the floor at halftime. He later apologized.
During Monday night's 66-58 loss to Oklahoma State, Dickey rubbed his hands across his face, and at one point pulled his coat jacket off, sending a pen and his checkbook across the floor.
"if you are 3-11 (in the conference)
and you've lost 16 games, that goes
Tech President David Schmidt said losing records and dwindling attendance have opened up questions about Dickey and his team's performance.
beyond frustration; that goes to unacceptable," he said after the game.
Schmidt said the decline may be partially due to the loss of nine scholarships during the past four years based on NCAA sanctions. Tech's athletic programs were sanctioned after major NCAA violations in the 1990s, including recruiting and unethical conduct.
"Hopefully, we're going to get that turned around." he said.
ST. LOUIS — Misfortune for Creighton is likely the Missouri Valley Conference's only chance to get two teams in the NCAA tournament.
The regular-season champion is head and shoulders above the rest of the conference heading into the Missouri Valley tournament today through Monday. Creighton (23-6, 14-4 Valley) also is 25th in the current RPI ratings, and the only conference team receiving votes in the AP poll.
Creighton a virtual lock for NCAA tournament
The Bluejays should make the NCAA field, no matter what happens in the conference tournament and if someone else wins that team would get the automatic bid.
"If we be beat, maybe we'll get an at-large bid, and that's a big maybe," Altman said. "If we lose and get a low seed and another team wins the tournament and gets a low seed, and we both lose, that doesn't do the league any good."
But coach Dana Altman wants to make sure.
Won-loss record isn't the only thing going for Creighton, which won the Valley outright for the first time since 1990-1991. An upgraded
schedule also is a major plus, with games against Providence, Wyoming and Nebraska.
"We've played good teams, and we've tried to do what people want us to do," Altman said. "We'll just wait and see what happens."
"It's a direct relationship to our seniors," Altman said. "They just would not accept us not playing good."
"I told our team not to worry about it, and we'll do the best we can," Creighton, which will play the winner of the Southwest Missouri State-Wichita State game today, enters the tournament on a 10-game winning streak. The Bluejays were 5-4 at one point.
Creighton is trying to become the first team since Southern Illinois from 1993-1995 to win the conference tournament three straight seasons.

Russell earns honor after record weekend
Scott Russell earned this week's Kansan Athlete of the Week honors. Russell broke his personal best in the weight throw in last weekend's Big 12 Conference Indoor Championships in Lincoln, Neb. Russell's throw of 75 feet, 10 inches broke his previous conference record by two feet and four inches. He also set a 2001 world record, which was immediately broken by Southern Methodist's Liber Charfreitag last Saturday.

You might not be able to tell because of the snow, but spring is approaching.
Recreation services offers intramural softball, ultimate Frisbee, three-on-three soccer and sand volleyball to satisfy students' needs for fun in the sun. Although initial games may be played in cool temperatures some seasons extend into late April.
Managers' meetings for soccer and softball are at 7 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at 156 Robinson Center. Play begins Monday, March 26 for both events.
Unlike last year, the popular three-on-three soccer will be played inside Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Although most soccer enthusiast prefer playing on grass rather than artificial turf, heavy rains can cancel outdoor games for up to three days.
Evening play also should help accommodate the schedules of most participants. Recreation services staff hopes a change of venue will improve the event, despite the less than desirable playing surface. They anticipate most of the participants will be willing to make sacrifices in exchange for convenience.
"We got a lot of positive feedback, and no calls for changes."
Jason Krone Assistant Director of Recreation Services
Last year, three-on-three soccer realized even greater success than recreation services expected. They wanted eight teams, but were pleasantly surprised when 22 teams signed up.
"It worked out exceedingly better than I thought it would," said Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services. "We got a lot of positive feedback, and no calls for changes." Three-on-three is a self-officiated, low contact version of soccer played on a shrunk down field.
Softball's regular season will take place at the Shenk Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets. At the end of the season the tournament will be at the Clinton Lake Softball Complex. In previous years, participants have enjoyed this venue upgrade considering that tournament days can extend from mid-morning to early evening

for some of the 100-plus teams.
The only difference in recreation services' version of softball is that players get two strikes and three balls during an at-bat. This speeds up the pace of play considerably. Each game is allotted 50 minutes. Before the rule change, many games lasted just three to four innings. Now, most games span seven innings and allow for multiple at-bats for all players.
Softball will no longer be played on Satdays because of frequent scheduling conflicts and no-shows.
Check next week's Kansan for dates of interest and previews of ultimate Frisbee and sand volleyball.

Online version of timetable up; many wait for paper copy
By Andrew Davies writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Although the Fall '01 timetable of classes is online, most students say they'll wait until the paper copy comes out to begin planning their schedules.
Jill Brown, adviser at the freshmansophomore advising center, said she hadn't noticed students coming in early for advisement.
She said she thought most students waited for the paper copy of the timetable to come out because they were not
aware or it being online or because they took the paper timetables as a cue to start thinking about enrollment.
According to KU Info, the paper version of the timetable should be available on or around Sunday, March 18.
"I think it's hard to pinpoint what's making students see their advisers."
Pam Houston
Pam Houston director of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Services said that
Director of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Services
the advising office told students the information was online but that students still came in to talk to advisers for a number of reasons, such as graduation plans or in response to e-mails sent out by the office.
"I think it's hard to pinpoint what's making students see their advisers," she said.
Students differed on whether they used the online option or a paper copy.
Richard Knoll, Wichita, senior, did not know the timetable was online. He said he always waited until the hard copy of the timetable came out to plan his schedule.
Elizabeth Bonafide, however, said she liked using the online timetables to plan her schedule.
Bonavide, Gardner sophomore, said she began planning her schedule, along with an alternate, around midterms to find the classes she would need.
Still, Bonafide thinks most people like to wait until the timetables come out in print before planning schedules.
Richard Morrell, University registrar, said the registrar's office had never tried to find the exact number of students who used the online timetables, but he thought most traditional students knew how to use the Internet and were aware the timetable was online.
Charges filed in fatal car crash
Involuntary manslaughter, DUI among list
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Edited by Jennifer Valadez
A 30-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Friday on charges filed against him in connection with the Feb. 4 accident that killed Shyra McGee, Wichita senior, and injured her husband, John, and her friend Amber Sellers, Wichita sophomore.
Brandon Gentry was charged Friday with involuntary manslaughter, two counts of aggravated battery, driving under the influence, failure to obey a traffic control device and sweeping.
District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said involuntary manslaughter was a charge that could apply to reckless but unintentional killing.
McGee: killed in Feb. 4 automobile accident
When the officers from the Lawrence Police Department finished their investigation of the accident last week, they suggested charges of aggravated battery and murder in the second degree on the offense report.
"The charges listed on the offense report are the charges listed by the police after their investigation that they believe would be appropriate." Tonkovich said last week. "Very often, after we have decided what we can prove, we may file different charges."
Tonkovich said her decision on what charges to file was based on what her office could prove beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
In early February, Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Patrick had described the accident in this way: The McGees' '99 Honda Accord was stopped on Monterey Way at the Sixth Street traffic light. John was driving, Shyra was in the passenger seat, and Sellers was
in the backseat. When the light turned green, John began to drive across Sixth Street. Gentry's '92 Ford Explorer struck the passenger side of the McGees' Accord in the intersection.
Shyra and Sellers were taken to the University of Kansas Medical Center by helicopter, and John was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital by ambulance, Patrick said. Shyra died while the helicopter was on its way to the Med Center. John said he was aware of the charges but
John said he was aware of the charges but did not want to comment.
"I want to wait and see what the justice system does," he said.

Seven University of Kansas student organizations combined efforts Saturday night for the Asian-American festival finale that integrated traditional Asian cuisine and performances with a dose of college-age enthusiasm.
About 150 people began the evening by sampling a kaleidoscope of dishes unique to the cultural organizations that prepared them.
From the Korean Student Association came a spicy cabbage called Kim Chi. The Indonesian Student Association (Permias) served Rendang, a beef stew cooked with coconut milk. The India Cultural Club prepared a dish made of lentils and Semolina grain called Dhokla.
ICC member Chetan Khanna,
New Delhi, India, graduate student,
said Dhokla was an ideal choice for Taste of Asia because
it was easy to serve.
"The food is pretty well-received every year," said Khanna, dressed in an authentic, knee-length Kurta shirt.
The food coordinator, Charu Narula, Leawood senior, said her biggest challenge was maintaining good communication with the different organizations.
KU graduate Harry Sze,
Chinese Student & Scholar
Friendship Association member,
said he enjoyed the cultural
exchange the event fostered and
meeting "different kinds of people from different kinds of countries."
After the meal, the participants migrated to the Kansas Union Ballroom for a sampling of ethnic performances. Each
wasn't always an easy task, said event coordinator Hubert Chen. Chen, the Asian American Student Union president, said because many organizations had their own culture shows earlier this semester, it was difficult at first to get everything coordinated.
organization contributed, which wasn't always an easy task, said event coordinator Hubert Chen.
But the show, which mixed traditional dances and fashion
with modern trends, went off without a hitch.
"It turned out a lot better than I thought it would," Chen said. As the ballroom was cleared for a post-performance dance, those who witnessed the festivities were noticeably touched. A teary-eyed Teh Sun, Asian American Student Union alumna, said she couldn't pick a favorite performance because
she was impressed by the whole night.
"It just shines through," she said of the organizations' dedication.
Jessica Woydiak, Douglass junior, agreed.
"You can tell they put a lot of hard work and effort into a wonderful program," she said.

Frederick axes men's tennis and swimming
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kanson sportwriter
Bob Frederick, athletics director, announced yesterday that the men's tennis and men's swimming and diving programs would be discontinued in the 2001-02 season.
In difficult times, coaches often remind their athletes that there's always next season. But that no longer applies to two Kansas sports teams.
"Without the prospects of significant additional revenue sources on the horizon, we have no alternative but to discontinue two sports." Frederick said when he made the announcement at a special University of Kansas Athletic Corporation (KUAC) meeting yesterday.
Frederick said the need to thwart cost increases endured by Kansas athletic programs led to the decision.
Frederick did not return phone calls yesterday and could not be reached for comment.
Frederick said the KUAC and the athletics department's senior administrative group explored alternatives, but the only viable course of action was to eliminate the two programs. The move will reduce next year's budget by approximately $600,000 and save $3.6 million during the next five years.
Doug Vance, sports information director, said the decision had nothing to do with Bill Graves' proposed budget
Not all costs associated with the two programs will be eliminated immediately because the University will continue to fund scholarships for student-athletes of the sports who choose to continue their enrollment at Kansas.
Overall budget costs have risen in recent years because of increased scholarship expenses and travel costs, as well as the Athletics Department's continued commitment to comply with federal laws related to financial aid, operating budgets and participation opportunities.

VOICE jump starts campaign with party
Coalition to unveil platform this week
By Brooke Hesler
Kansan staff writer
THE VOICE coalition kicked off its campaign Friday night at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St.
Jessica Bankston, who is running for student body president, told supporters that the coalition wanted to make students' voices heard at the state capitol, at the City Commission and at Student Senate.
"One thing that is very important is that Student Senate does more for students every day." Bankston told the crowd.
The coalition will unveil its official platform this week, Bankston said.
Bankston said the kick-off party was a good way to unite candidates.
"I think this is good motivation for them," she said.
Hunter Harris, vice presidential candidate, thanked the crowd for its support and

Science City battles falling attendance
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Falling attendance at Kansas City's newest large-scale civic attraction has Science City officials mulling ways to change the museum.
Possibilities, officials say, include adding Internet-access computers, partnering with scientific institutions to rebuild exhibits and constructing a new entrance.
Including the museum and its three companion theaters, attendance reached 877,545 during 2000. But attendance totals have steadily dropped, with the last four months of the year being the museum's worst. Fall attendance was less than half of what it was in the spring or summer.
Bush vows to veto high spending bills
WASHINGTON — President Bush will veto any annual spending bill that costs more than he wants, Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday, warning Republicans not to stray from the administration's budget priorities.
Only days ago, budget writers in the House and Senate questioned whether they could stay within the budget levels Bush has proposed — a 4 percent increase for discretionary programs, which constitute everything the government does, except automatically paid benefits like Medicaid.
Families gather to bid loved ones farewell
HONOLULU—As the Navy prepared to convene a rare court of inquiry into the collision between a nuclear attack submarine and a Japanese fishing boat, the families of some of the nine men and boys lost at sea gathered yesterday to bid farewell to their loved ones.
Today, family members are expected to attend a formal investigative hearing by the Navy that seeks to explain why the USS Greeneville rammed the Ehime Maru while demonstrating an emergency surfacing drill for 16 civilian guests.
The ship, carrying 35 people, was on an expedition to teach teen-agers how to become commercial fishermen when the Greeneville plowed through its hull while surfacing. Four high school students, two teachers and three crewmen were never found
Flights canceled as storm moves into Northeast
Worried shopper grabbed groceries from store shelves and airlines started canceling flights yesterday as the Northeast prepared for a major storm that threatened to strike with coastal flooding and more than a foot of snow.
A mixture of rain, sleet and snow started moving into the region yesterday, but warm air from the ocean was expected to delay the changeover to all snow along the coast, complicating forecasts. Winter storm watches remained in effect from West Virginia to Maine, the National Weather Service said.
Delta, Continental and other airlines canceled dozens of flights into the New York metropolitan area's LaGuardia, Kennedy and Newark airports, said Ernesto Butcher, chief operating officer of the Port Authority, which runs the region's airports.

Recession leads to moves in Argentina's Cabinet
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina President Fernando De la Rua began reorganizing his Cabinet yesterday by naming a U.S.-trained economist to head the influential Economy Ministry, moving to ease a three-day political crisis.
Ricardo Lopez Murphy, a fiscal conservative who is popular on Wall Street, was to be sworn in Monday as economy minister. Jose Luis Machinea, who crafted economic austerity measures that have come under fire, quit Friday.
The government is confronting a 32-month recession and De La Rua said more changes were likely in the coming days. He did not elaborate.
Israelis killed as Sharon prepares to take power
NETANYA, Israel — A Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up and killed three Isrealis at a bustling intersection yesterday, the second lethal explosion in four days as militant Islamic groups vowed more attacks against Israel's incoming government.
With Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon preparing to assume power, possibly this week, the bombings have shown that Israel remains vulnerable despite sealing off Palestinian areas in a bid to keep out militants.
The Palestinian attacker detonated the bomb just before 9 a.m.at a corner in the coastal resort town of Netanya. The force hurled a car into the air, shattered shop windows and crumpled street stalls in the central market area.
"We know very well that the most loyal forces of (Palestinian leader Yasser) Arafat are involved in attacks," Sharon said. He did not directly link Arafat loyalists to Sunday's bombing.
Guerrillas kill and kidnap in weekend of violence
BOGOTA, Colombia — Leftist guerillas killed six people and kidnapped several others while bomb attacks in two major Colombian cities leveled a bank in a nationwide wave of violence during the weekend, authorities said. In Cali, Colombia's third-largest city, three bombs exploded simultaneously yesterday near a military base and the house of a lower-ranking army officer, police Gen. Alfredo Salgado told The Associated Press.
The explosions injured three people and damaged surrounding buildings. Police arrested two people with explosives immediately after the attack, but it wasn't immediately clear if they were members of an armed group.
A bomb also exploded Sunday in Cartagena, a popular tourist spot on the Caribbean coast. No one was injured, but the explosion destroyed a nearby bank. Salgado said it wasn't known who carried out the attack.
Foot-and-mouth outbreak spreads, worries officials
LONDON — A foot-and-mouth outbreak has spread to a huge national park in southwest England, officials said yesterday, while Belgium shut down its two largest zoos and Denmark quarantined seven farms.
While no cases have yet been confirmed in continental Europe, 69 separate outbreaks have been reported in Britain and Northern Ireland. About 45,000 animals — sheep, cows and pigs — have been destroyed in an effort to stop the ailment from spreading.
An outbreak inside Dartmoor National Park raised fears that wildlife could spread the disease to other livestock. Hiking and horseback riding have been restricted on the moor, where about 46,000 cattle and sheep graze.
Since the first cases were discovered Feb. 19 at a slaughterhouse in southern England, authorities have banned exports of British milk, meat and live animals. At outbreak sites, herds are being destroyed.

Officials weren't sure how long the recovery would take because of deep mud in the area, which had nearly 4 inches of rain over the weekend.
"It's a quagmire," said Lt. Col. Deborah Bertrand, aRobins Air Force Base representative.
Three Army personnel and 18 Air National Guard members were killed when the transport plane crashed Saturday morning south of Macon and burst into flame.
Officials said there were two debris fields: one 400-feet-by-400-foot and a smaller one about a quarter-mile away. Yesterday, skies were overcast and winds were strong as about 150 workers searched slowly through the wreckage.
"They're far more concerned
with safety at this point than speed," said Maj. Randy Noller, spokesman in National Guard Bureau in Washington.
In-flight data and voice recorders have been found, but investigators don't know yet if they were working, said Col. Dan Woodward, an Air Force spokesman.
Officials have not determined the cause of the crash, which is being investigated by the Army Safety Center at Fort Rucker, Ala., with the help of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Air Force officials yesterday escorted reporters and photographers past dozens of muddy all-terrain vehicles and Humvees to a command post about a half-mile from the main crash site. The area could be reached only by a dirt road marked by gullies carved by the heavy weekend rains. Water stood in ditches and fields that had been plowed 3 feet deep in preparation for spring planting.
The Lakeland, Fla-based plane, assigned to the Florida National Guard, 171st Aviation Battalion.
took off without any problems from Huriburt Field near Fort Walton Beach, said Air Force Capt. Carol Kanode, a field representative. The aircraft was headed to Oceana Naval Air Station, Va.
All 18 passengers were members of a Virginia-based military construction and engineering crew on a routine training mission. The plane's pilot and two other crew members were members of the Florida battalion.
"Military service involves great danger, in times of peace as well as war, and this accident provides stark proof of that." Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said. In Virginia, Gov. Jim Glmore ordered state flags to be lowered to balftail.
Families and friends of the 18 passengers — all members of the 203rd Red Horse Unit of the National Guard — were gathered at Camp Pendleton State Military Reservation in Virginia Beach.
"It's a real bad situation when everyone on that list is someone that you knew," said Angelo Holley, 36, a member of the 203rd. Staff Sgt. Ronald Elkin, one of the victims, had been among his closest friends.

Mansfield wins sixth spot in primary election

A d a m Mansfield is the sixth candidate for Lawrence City Commission.
The final vote count for Lawrence's primary city elections was released Friday morning and showed Adam Mansfield beating Jennifer Chaffee 536 to 527 to take sixth place in the elections.
City Commission
Of the 12 candidates who were on the ballot, the top six vote-getters continue on to the Tuesday. April 3 general election to vie for three open City Commission positions.

A recount conducted by the county and the final tally of provisional ballots mean that Jennifer Chaffee, Lawrence senior in political science, will not advance to the general election.

been a miscount. Jaimes said that some votes had been counted twice by employees who didn't clear the counting machine before adding in new ballots to be counted.
After the county recounted the ballots Wednesday, Mansfield led Chaffee by one vote for sixth place. When the provisional ballots were counted Friday morning and the final vote was announced, Mansfield, manager of Louise's Downtown bar, 1009 Massachusetts St., had won.
The Douglas County Commission met to decide the fate of 63 provisional ballots on Friday morning, and counted 60 of those ballots.
Provisional ballots are ballots of people who voted but may not have been registered at the polling site they voted at. The County Commission had to decide whether the voters were registered when they voted.
Although Mansfield, is not a student, he said he wanted to see students and members of the community that hadn't been involved in government represented in the commission and in the city.
Mansfield said he opposed the new housing ordinances and thought that the city should work to enforce existing laws before it created new ordinances.
He said he wanted a re-evaluation of the way the city awards tax abatements and a long-term plan for city growth so that the city didn't continue to sprawl west without adequate city services to match.
He also said he wanted more extensive public transportation in Lawrence and between the metropolitan areas of Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City.
Chaffee said that although she was eliminated from the City Commission race she would continue to encourage students to get out and register to vote in the general election.
She said she planned to stay involved in local government in the future.
"I'll probably wait until I graduate," Chaffee said. "I'd be real interested in that. I'll always be involved in government, as active as I can."
The candidates advancing to the general election are Sue Hack, Marty Kennedy, Erv Hodges, David Dunfield, Scott Bailey and Adam Mansfield.

Role as The Mole tough to fill, taxed emotions of KU alumna
By Sarah Smarsh
By Sarah Smashr
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
The Mole, ABC's reality-based television series, revealed last week its secret sabotour's identity
— 1994 University of Kansas graduate Kathryn Price.
Price, 28, was one of 10 players who competed in mental and physical tests for a month in exotic locales to win up to $1 million. But Price turned out to be "the mole," a player secretly assigned to sabotage the other contestants. She used her wits to keep players and viewers guessing until the final show on Wednesday.
JOHN WILSON
Price said she auditioned to be a regular contestant on the show, but producers pulled her aside to propose the role of "the mole."
She added that she was disappointed to lose a chance at the large monetary prize, but that the opportunity was too unique to decline.
"The idea of playing the mole was interesting and challenging to me." Price said during a phone interview from her home in Chicago.
Regardless of her success on the show, Price received a flat fee, which she could not reveal, for her efforts.
If Price had been busted in the early weeks of the show, she said the show "just would've sucked."
"I felt there was a lot of pressure," she said.
Kathryn Price, picked to play "the mole" on ABC's reality-based television show, reads to her nephew, Jackson Drake, in her Chicago home. Price worked in secret to sabotage the tasks of fellow contestants on The Mole. Contributed photo.
Price said the elaborate plots and secrecy were emotionally taxing because she had nowhere to vent frustrations. Most of the production crew didn't know the mole's identity, including the on-site therapist.
That pressure existed beyond the duty to deceive nearly everyone around her. If Price had purposely broken the confidentiality agreement regarding her identity, she could have been liable for $10 million.
"I was trying to not only fool viewers but fool the crew and everybody present," Price said. "I even had to lie during these sessions with the psychologist."
Megan Mitchelson, a KU graduate living in Leawood, was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta with Price. She said she came to believe Price was the mole after hearing an Internet rumor that another player had leaked Price's identity and caused added stress for Price, which Mitchelson said was evident on the last show.
Price even duped her own sister, Kendyl Drake, who tuned in every week.
"I knew she would make it far because she's very smart," said Drake, who lives in Lafayette, Colo. "But I was completely surprised by the outcome."
"I could tell she was genuinely upset," Mitchelson said. "It was hard on her emotionally."
Price said the nine legitimate players, whose fates were partially in Price's hands, had been congratulatory on Price's performance.
"But who knows what they've been saying behind my back," Price said, laughing.
"It's very strange to see people discussing you on the Internet," she said.
Price said feedback from the audience was more difficult to deal with.
Price was a favorite in Internet chat rooms devoted to reality TV, where she was often referred to as sexy and funny.
Price said some of the comments were flattering but personal speculation from detail-probing fanatics was disturbing.
Drake took those comments personally as well.
"When they'd say something critical, it would hurt my feelings for her." Drake said.
The fascination with reality-based television stems from the real human emotions seen in the shows, even if the events that transpire are
out of the ordinary, Price said. She added that shows such as The Mole deserve their title as "reality TV."
"It's reality in that we are not actors, and I think the editing was true to what we did." Price said.
Mittelson said she regretted that The Mole had received less attention than Temptation Island, Fox's more salacious reality show.
"People are more interested in something that's really controversial and mean-spirited," Mitchellson said.
She added that Price hadn't received lucrative Hollywood offers such as the women of Temptation Island.
"It's too bad because she's a really marketable person and she's a positive female role model," she said.
Price said that she was happy with her experience and that the show's creators were happy, too. ABC recently announced plans for another season of The Mole, the popularity of which is largely because of Price's success.
"I do think the producers thought I did a good job," she said. "They've told me since that they couldn't have picked a better mole."

Players, coaches react to team cuts
Continued from page 1A
cuts for Board of Regents universities.
The news came as a shock to Kansas swimmer Cory Gallagher. Gallagher, a redshirt freshman who swam the breast stroke for the team in the fall, said it would take a while for it all to sink in.
"Sentimental as it my sound, it's like everything you know, it doesn't really exist anymore," Gallagher said. "It's like you have to start over."
Gallagher, who is not on scholarship, said he didn't know what his plans are for next year.
His teammate, sophomore swimmer Adam Steele, said it may be difficult for swimmers to find other universities that are willing to give out scholarships.
"A lot of guys are angry and upset because we didn't have any forewarning of this." Steele said.
"A lot of us want to continue
swimming, but we now feel very r u s h e d because we do not have a lot of time to make the right decision in terms of where to go before coaches start handing out their scholarship money. And for a lot of us, we need

said it's hard to stand by and watch his team become a victim of budgetary issues.
"I'm extremely disappointed," he said. "I wish that the athletics department could have found a different solution to its financial problems. This hurts so bad. It not a selfish hurt because it hurts each and every one of the young men."
Coalition kicks off Senate campaign
Tennis coach Ross Nwachukwu
"Part of my job description changes today," Nwachukwu said in a press release. "I won't be recruiting anymore, but instead I'll be doing everything I can do to help these young men find a university that has both excellent academics and an excellent tennis program like the University of Kansas."

praised Bankston's character. Grant Butler, who is running for an off-campus senator seat, echoed similar sentiments.
"She really cares about the concerns of the students." Butler said.
Although Harris has only been a senator for a year, Butler said he thought it would work to the coalition's advantage.
— Edited by Jason McKee
"I would say that it provides a more balanced ticket," he said. "Hunter comes with an outside view, so we can have fresh ideas and a fresh voice."
Continued from page 1A
Jonathan Ng, who is running for a liberal arts and sciences seat, said he made sure that Bankston and Harris weren't just building their resumes.
"I talked to them about that and I was convinced that wasn't the reason they're running." Ng said.
"The reason why we change our name isn't to hide,but to bring in new ideas every year and not be tied to the past."
Jonathan Ng candidate for liberal arts and sciences seat in Student Senate
"They said they were in it for what Senate should be about."
this is the first year the VOICE coalition has been in existence. However, at the Delta Force coalition kick-off party on Thursday, Ben Burton, who is running for an off-campus seat, said he didn't consider the coalition to be new.
"The first thing that they're trying to do is say that they're a new coalition, and that's just not true," Burton said. "These are the same people. Look at the record. It's campaign season and it's a convenient way to make the voters forget about things that happened in the past."
Burton, who ran unsuccessfully for student body president last year, cited campaign violations by the United Students coalition, the coalition Bankston ran with last year.
Ng, who also ran with the coalition last year, said that wasn't the reason for the name change.
"The reason why we change our name isn't to hide, but to bring in new ideas every year and not be tied to the past," Ng said. "I don't have anything against Delta Force. I think they have some good candidates too."

National, racial unity requires confronting fear
For comments, contact Chris Borniger or Nathan Willis at 864-4924 or opinion@kansan.com
used to worry about things such as Black History Month or Black Entertainment Television
Something apparently so race-specific — wasn't that racist? Or, at least, didn't such racially labeled institutions increase racial tension and divisions? If different races listened to different music and watched different TV shows, how would we ever find common ground to tie us together? Wasn't this a threat to our national unity?
concern was voiced by one Free for All caller who declared that if we had a White History Month or a TV channel devoted only to White entertainment, we would call it racist. I agree, but not at all for the reason that caller might think.
A slightly different version of this same
The truth is, most of our media are produced by and marketed to White Americans. That's not inherently bad except that it tends to result in images and

media coverage that cater to that dominant group, generally casting people who look like me in a good light and all too often, even with local campus coverage, casting minorities in a negative light.
Always? No. Intentionally? Rarely, but the effect is the same. Negative images and ster eotypes sneak into our minds, and we gain subconscious prejudices which seem common sense, such as thinking some groups are naturally more violent than others. Meanwhile, the values and views of the dominant culture are reinforced as normal and All-American.
Our sense of history is the same. If we are taught only of the accomplishments of the dominant culture, the contributions of minorities are swept aside, leaving us with the misconception that only the dominant culture built this country and its members are its only true citizens.
So how do we correct a lie that we don't even realize we're perpetuating? Redefine and educate people. During Black History Month, we can raise awareness of the positive and important roles people of African descent have had in the development of America and the world. BET, besides targeting a specific demographic marketing group (as most media companies do), airs music, movies and news from an African-American point of view. Through these institutions, African Americans can define themselves and educate others.
So I honestly was surprised when I read a Black History Month bulletin board and found that African Americans have been responsible for or contributed to all kinds of inventions such as the fountain pen (W.B. Purvis), the lawnmower (Johnathan A. Burn), and the helicopter (Paul E. Williams). I learned something, and it helped dispel stereotypes that linger in my mind.
When I watch BET, I hear perspectives different than those I grew up with, and I see more positive images of African Americans than I do anywhere else.
When I look back at the fears I once had about such race-specific institutions, I understand some people's concerns. But today I see Black History Month and BET as institutions through which I can better understand my fellow Americans. And that's the point — not to exclude or demean or polarize Americans, but to help us understand each other better.
Why is that important? As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Men hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other." So instead of fearing, I chose to try to get to know and understand other people, especially those groups of people I didn't grow up with or don't understand.
To those worried about Black History Month or BET, I invite you to do the same. Talk to and get to know people who don't look like you. Take opportunities such as Black History Month to learn about people who don't look like you. Flip over a few channels every now and then and listen to different perspectives on American life. You just might be surprised at what you learn.

Silly campaign tactics merit reforming Senate
I may just be me, but this Student Senate election thing seems just a little silly. I was under the impression that in most campaigns there were parties that had particular ideologies, espoused a platform, and ran candidates that would then be held accountable for their performances (or lack thereof).
These elections, however,
always feature parties with
oddly defined issues and
candidates that, from what's
been reported, are only marginally interested in attending meetings and even less interested in the issues once elected.
JOHN E. BURKE
I started thinking about all this when I read VOICE student body president candidate Jessica Bankston refuted an allegation that VOICE was a carbon copy of United Students by stating "I'm not running under the name
United Students because I'm not Ben Walker." I could think of only three situations in which that statement could make any sense: (a) Ben Walker copyrighted the United Students logo; (b) Walker is the devil, and Bankston does not believe in supporting the pernicious platforms espoused by United Students; or (c) United Students never really stood for anything to begin with. I think the third option is the most likely.
Robert Chamblelain columnist opinion@anasan.com
Delta Force, on the other hand, has a five-year history as the party that has never been convicted
After all, if people who are not Abraham Lincoln can run under the banner of "The Party of Lincoln" because they believe the same things as other Republicans, I fail to see why Bankston wouldn't run under the United Students banner if she thought that coalition's belief system mirrored her own
The point is, not having been convicted of campaign violations shouldn't be a source of pride; it's supposed to be the norm. But this year, all the students who never really let go of student government in high school will be atwitter for weeks about some violation that will have little to do with the outcome of the election.
of a campaign violation. I've always found it ironic that the anti-establishment party took its name from a movie about a group of trained killers who fly around the world and do the bidding of The Man, but that's beside the point.
The Resume Builders were right. Student Senate is a repository of folks for whom being a student senator is its own justification. Playing politics and expanding senators' resumes appear to be its two major functions.
Here's my plan for Senate: Anyone who wants to can be named "His or Her Majesty" (insert name here), President and Ruler of KU-Lawrence Campus, Grand Master of the Med Center and High Councilor of the Affiliated Institutions" by checking a block on the sorring enrollment form.
The new presidents would never have to meet, but they could gossip about each other in a Kansan column. Senate's fiscal responsibilities would be turned over to the chancellor's office, where they would be dealt with quickly and without 27-hour long meetings. If you wanted something done, you could just send a petition up the hill.
This new system would benefit everyone. Anyone who wanted to could put "President of KU" on applications, all the would-be politicians and political reporters could still chatter about meaningless "scandals" if they so desired, and the 75 percent of us who don't vote could avoid being accosted on Wescoe Beach, bombarded in the Kansan and otherwise generally annoyed by the pettiness of Student Senate elections.
Now that's a platform we can all endorse.

Editorial
'Net content should be free of restrictions
The University should avoid policing Internet servers despite the investigation of an employee for child porn.
The investigation of a University of Kansas employee for possession and distribution of child pornography highlights what the University can do to regulate content on the e-mail and Internet services it provides to students and employees.
Some would argue that had the University performed regular monitoring of its employees' e-mail, it might have helped to end a ring of child pornography sooner. Although preventing child pornography and other crimes perpetrated via the Internet is legitimate, the University should not step into the shoes of a police agency. It must respect the privacy of students and employees.
As an Internet Service Provider, the University may intercept its users' electronic communications. Under federal law, if the University had any evidence that the professor had been involved in transmitting or receiving child pornography, it would have been required to turn him or her in to authorities.
The University has no distinct policy for content on its servers. Students' electronic communication is treated the same as other forms of expression. Campus communication is governed by the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, which states "discussion and expression of all views are permitted within the University, subject only to requirements for the maintenance of order."
Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services and chief information officer, said the University investigated Internet conduct when it received a complaint. The only other times investigations are warranted are when conduct disrupts network communications, constitutes harassment or violates the law. Students are not subject to arbitrary monitoring of e-mail or Internet use.
Goodyear said that Student Senate would be considering building a Website that clearly explains University and federal guidelines, but that the existing policy would not change
1. nis is precisely how it should remain. The actions of a University employee, no matter how egregious, should not warrant any policy change that would affect student or employee privacy.

I think the Kansan should stop blaming the fraternity where Sean Scott drank and instead blame his parents.
America's long been known as a haven for minorities, a place where they may actually have a voice. It's too bad columnist John McCool suppresses this ideal.

Yay Student Senate. Having all the extra newspapers next year will be a great step for KU.
I think it's funny that Ben Walker justifies his vote for the newspaper program by saying that they are a representative body and used an unscientific poll where 75 people out of the entire campus voted for the project, and then he turns around in the same article and says he doesn't think they have to meet with the students.
I just want to congratulate the Kansan on its fantastic article, "Uncompromising Queer." It was absolutely fantastic.
磨
I find every one of John McCool's columns personally offensive, ignorant and deleterious to my most cherished ideals. But I will defend his right to write them. That's what freedom of expression is all about, McCool.

Letters to the editor
Asian-American relationship stereotypes unfair
I am responding to the article "Workshop explores Asian-American relationships" in last Friday's Kansan. I am surprised by the plethora of misleading statements and stereotyping of Asian females. First of all, it could be noted that Asian females such as myself are as different from one another as are American women. Asian women have undoubtedly as strong personal preferences in whom they wish to date as do Americans. It is probably not very meaningful to state that "many Asian females in Internet personal ads only wanted to date Caucasian men." It is most untrue that all Asian females want to date Caucasians or Asian women want their children to reflect a Caucasian image.
We Asians are not any less proud of our ethnicity than are Caucasians. We have pride in our own personality that transcends any racial stereotyping. I only wish that readers of the *Kanan* did not further misunderstand these misperceptions toward Asian women.

Columnist's drinking tips nothing to laugh about
I was deeply saddened to read the front-page story in Friday's *Kansan* ("Plea entered in highway death"). The allegations surrounding the sources of the alcohol consumed by the 16-year-old driver of the vehicle that killed Fleecia Bland are disturbing. After reading this heartbreaking story of senseless grief, I was offended to turn to the opinion page and read Matt Overstreet's column, "Encounter with cons prompts drinking tips."
In this article, Mr. Overstreet attempts humor in regards to the behavior of an acquaintance who was arrested for attacking a police car while heavily intoxicated. Although Mr. Overstreet's article would be in questionable taste any time, the decision to print it in the same issue as the story about the tragedy on Kansas Highway 10 was insensitive, offensive and shameful. All this comes at a time when the University community is also grieving the loss of Shya McGee, a resident assistant, in another possibly alcohol-related tragedy. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I know that I am ashamed for you.

Columnist's argument promotes art censorship
Oh my gosh! Someone showed John McCool the Brooklyn Museum of Modern Art's catalog from the "Sensation" show, and he didn't like it?
It is imperative to our society's growth that we, as taxpayers, support all the arts, Museums, theaters and concert halls would barely be able to continue without funding from sources such as the National Endowment for the Arts. After Mr. McCool's sad realization that the NEA will not die, he proposed that they adopt some "decency" codes to decide what art will receive funding.
Welcome to America, Mr. McCool. Such a code would be censorship. No one in this country has the power to promote any standards as to what qualifies as art. Thus,
Melissa Montgomery Leawood junior
all art deserves funding from the NEA, whether Mr. McCool likes it or not.
Columnist misrepresents roles in Christianity
We were saddened by the misrepresentation of Christianity in the Kansas ("Christianity fails to stay relevant in modern times," March 1) about the discrimination of women by Christianity. Throughout the gospels, Jesus searched out women who had been degraded and discarded by society and gave them attention and encouragement. During that era, women were ignored and, in the Jewish culture, not even allowed as witnesses in court. Jesus actively went outside the norm to speak with them, as with the women at the well in John 4.
Another instance is Rahab, a non Jewish prostitute who was included in Jesus' genealogy (Matthew 1:5) and in Hebrews 11 as a pillar of faith. The relationship between men and women is intended to be a partnership with slightly different but equal roles. The specifics are too complex to address here, but are in 1 Corinthians 7.
Another misconception is that sex is considered dirty. This is only true when applied to extramarital sex. Sex within marriage is a beautiful act of love that glorifies God. Song of Solomon is entirely devoted to romance, marriage and sex, which it covers graphically.
Overall, Christianity treats women as respectfully as men, and sex within marriage is a beautiful gift.

Bands' budget cut prompts call for more funds
As student senators walked into the Union last Wednesday for what was expected to be a typical Student Senate meeting, they were bewilderingly welcomed by the serenade of upset KU Band members. The band's protest to receive funds emphasizes their need.
Uproar from the band has surrounded Student Senate since the Finance committee proposed a more than 20 percent cut in allocated funding to their organization. Taking away this substantial chunk of funding is rather dramatic, but the Finance committee established valid arguments for its rationale.
The groups that the KU Band have had to contend with for this money are in no way comparable in terms of service to the students. Although organizations such as the Lied Center and KU Band serve the freedom-of-expression-goers, programs such as Hilltop Child Care Center and the AIDS program benefit those in need on a far deeper physical and emotional aspect.
It's ridiculous that the KU Band is forced to compete with these types of organizations in order to stay in tune financially.
Despite these redundancies, the Finance committee should be commended for attempting to accommodate the organizations and dealing responsibly with cutbacks that have affected almost every area of the University. Hopefully, the KU Band will use alternative venues to find the funding their program thrives on.

Genesis isn't science, rabbi says
Torah focuses on method and order of creation
By Amanda Beglin
writer@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
The sacred and the scientific collided last night at the University of Kansas Hillel House as Rabbi Ari Perl guided a round table discussion about Genesis, a book of the Bible.
Perl, a rabbi in a modern orthodox synagogue in Kansas City, Kan., analyzed the chapter's construction with the 12 attendants, including two KU professors and three students.
Rabbii Arpi Perl of Congregation Beth Israel Abraham and Vollner of Overland Park leads a discussion at Hillel House, "Creation: When Sacred Meets Science" was the topic he chose for this session of Hillels' spring speaker series. Photo by J E Wilson/KANSAN
Perl suggested considering the nature of the Bible when deciding whether to approach it as science or a story.
PENNEY JAMES
"It's hard to divorce ourselves from thinking scientifically, but it's not a science textbook," Perl said. "It's a guide to life, something we can apply to our lives. It's a treasure chest of culture and heritage. It shapes our lives as we move forward."
Perl said science had few similarities to human experience and philosophy.
"You wouldn't expect a science book to be prefaced with philosophy, just like you wouldn't expect the Bible — a book of truths, laws and history — to have a chapter on creation. The Torah has nothing to sav about science."
Perl said that Genesis, the story
in which God creates order in the world in seven days, emphasized a methodical approach, citing the similarities among what God created on each day.
"There is a structure, a method to his creation," Perl said. "The fourth, fifth, and sixth days correspond to the first, second and third. He established the fundamentals like dry land before the sophistications he put on it, like terrestrials."
Perl stressed that creation wasn't the beginning of the world, but the beginning of order in a time period that couldn't be defined.
"The world before creation was chaotic and empty." Perl said. "The Bible talks about days before there were days. A Biblical day has nothing to do with a modern time period. The days in this biblical time were units of creation."
Perl said the Bible didn't tell people where raw materials that God used to create the world, such as water, originated. This, he said, was part of the chaos — the perplexing time period before the world was brought to order, with one stage of creation building on the previous stage.
God deemed his creations "good" in each chapter's verse. Good, Perl theorized, meant that God's actions were useful, that his desired purpose had been accomplished. Perl discussed this and other literary terms in the chapter's verses.
"I think he's got a great way of looking at things," Kelsey said. "This was a good summary of what I've learned so far in class."
Perl is the third of six speakers the KU Hillel House has invited to speak during its spring speaker series. The guest speakers, all Rabbis and Jewish educators from
the Kansas City area, talk about topics from social activism to the afterlife.
Rabbi Danny Horwitz will speak about Judaism at 5 p.m. Sunday at the Hillel House, 940 Mississippi St. For more information, call 749-5397

KU undergrads included in national student survey
By Cassia Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas has Joined a group of more than 300 colleges and universities in the United States in a survey to evaluate students' experiences in school.
The National Survey of Student Engagement will evaluate what freshmen and seniors from affiliated universities think of their undergraduate experiences.
The 20 questions on the survey focus on how students spend their time, the nature and quality of their interactions with faculty members and other students, and what they have gained from their classes and related experiences in college.
Deborah Teeter, director of the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, said the survey would allow the University to benchmark the undergraduate experience it offered KU students to students at similar institutions.
Selected students received a letter announcing that they had been chosen for the survey and an e-mail last Monday from Chancellor Robert Hemenway inviting them to participate. The messages included a Web site address where students could access the survey.
"We then will note areas in which we are excelling and areas that may warrant improvement." Teeter said.
"We then will note areas in which we are excelling and areas that may warrant improvement."

Deborah Teeter Director of the Office of Institutional Research and Planning
Rita Francis, Wichita freshman, received the survey and said that even though it would help the University to gather fresh opinions, it would be more valuable to transfer students because they would have a basis of comparison with other schools.
"I don't have any other college experience to compare to," Francis said.
The survey is funded by a grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts and is co-sponsored by the Pew Forum on Undergraduate Learning and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Iowa State University, Kansas State University, Texas A&M University. Texas Tech University and the University of Missouri-Columbia are the other Big 12 schools participating.

Talking without words
By Amanda Sears

Special to the Kansan
DONALD C. BROWN
1946-2018
Nathan Chang, Olathe sophomore, holds a photograph of his family in his Ellsworth Hall dorm room. Both of Chang's parents are deaf and he uses a Deaf Telephone Communication Device (TDD) to talk to them in Olathe from his residence. "They'd rather be deaf than able to hear," Chang said, because they have found peace and comfort in the deaf community. Photo by Thad Allender/KANSAN
Nathan Chang, Olathe sophomore, wishes people could hear what his father has to say.
"He's a Renaissance man. He's an amazing man. He knows about art, science, religion, politics. And nobody knows it because they can't talk to him," Nathan said.
Both of Nathan's parents, Teddy and Sandra Chang, are deaf. They cannot read lips and must rely on sign language and interpreters to help them communicate.
For Nathan, sign language comes as natural as English — he signed his first words at age one. Speaking took longer. "It took two years to get me to say a word because I found it pointless," he said. "All I knew was deaf people."
He saw a speech pathologist until he reached sixth grade. He struggled with grammar and writing because sign language relies on visual concepts that do not borrow from English.
Nathan used sign language exclusively at home and at church. A year before his birth, his father founded the Deaf Liberty Baptist Church in Olathe in partnership with a deaf friend. Deaf Liberty's congregation does not sing or read Bible passages aloud — the entire service is conducted in sign language. Nathan is the oldest hearing member of the congregation.
"Dad and other deaf people were oppressed and discriminated against in regular churches," he said. "The congregations excluded them because they supposedly couldn't do anything but read the Bible."
Deafness is also a normal part of life for Ann Curry, Lawrence graduate student. Her daughter, Margret, 11, was born deaf after her mother contracted cytomegalio virus during her pregnancy. Cytomegalo virus is commonly found in adults. It is estimated that 80 percent of the adult population carries sigms of the virus.
Margret's deafness inspired Ann to pursue a career in deaf education. She plans to graduate in May with dual master's degrees in deaf education and early childhood development.
It also led her to her husband,
Jason Curry, They met at the Midwest Regional Conference for the Deaf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, at which he was a featured speaker. Ann had attended to learn about deaf school programs in which Margaret could participate.
For Ann, functioning in a deaf family takes work, patience and careful communication. Nightly family dinner is a standard rule. A typical meal engages all family members in a conversation through signing, speaking, and reading lips.
"I know we've come this far because we communicate so well," she said.
Other normal tasks such as going to the doctor and attending church can present problems as well because an interpreter is necessary.
Both Ann and Nathan have perceived discrimination against their deaf family members not just from strangers, but also within their families.
"Grandpa tells me to take care of my parents," Nathan said. "But they can take care of themselves."
Ann's and Jason's extended families do not know sign language, forcing Ann into the role of an interpreter.
"My siblings and family tend to
feel uncomfortable around us at times and can't get past the awkwardness of their language inabilities," she said. "It makes them the ones with the disability."
Misunderstanding and discrimination have forced the Currys and the Changs into very different roles in the deaf community.
Although a number of deaf residents live in Lawrence, Ann does not consider them a cohesive group. Ann's and Jason's academic pursuits have come before any activism in deaf organizations.
"That is a sacrifice we choose," she said. "For us, it's fine because we're often from different backgrounds educationally than most typical members of the deaf community. As you can guess, college is a rare characteristic for most deaf individuals as they struggle with the English language."
Nathan's parents, on the other hand, have knitted themselves into Olathe's deaf community by introducing themselves when they encounter other deaf strangers. Because the Kansas School for the Deaf is in Olathe, the area has an especially active deaf population. Nathan's church has 70 members who form a tight community.

Meningitis vaccine costly
Kansan staff writer
Mary Beth Brutton, communication specialist for Blue Cross and Blue Shield health insurance, said her company covered the cost of the meningitis vaccine.
At $65, a vaccine that helps prevent meningococcal meningitis could be costly enough to discourage students from protecting themselves — but some insurance companies offer coverage.
"The immunization is covered by those who need it." she said. "It depends on an individual's health plan, but most have immunizations covered."
Randall Rock, physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the vaccine was recommended, especially for students in residence halls.
Rock said approximately 400 students were vaccinated in the last year.
"The vaccine lasts three to five years," he said. "After three to five years most people are out of the high-risk setting."
MENINGITIS FACTS
Meningitis afflicts about 3,000 Americans annually, including about 200 on college campus
- Walkins Memorial Health Center vaccinated about 400 KU students against meningitis last year.
Viral meningitis is not fatal, but bacterial meningitis causes death
Viral meningitis is not fatal, but bacterial meningitis causes death
Rock said although the disease was rare, affecting only 3,000 people annually — 300 on college campuses — it was important to educate students about meningitis.
To prevent meningitis, avoid sharing food, drinks and ciga
Meningitis is an inflammation of the brain and the tissues surrounding it. It is caused by a bacteria or a virus.
"It is important for people to understand that appropriate precautions can be taken," he said. "This information is not meant to create unnecessary anxiety."

Ballroom dance club kicks heels invites students to waltz along
Barbra Schnitker, Lawrence director of nursing for the Douglas County Health Department, said no current meningitis cases were reported in Douglas County.
Rock said symptoms included a stiff neck, high fever, nausea, vomiting, skin rashes and severe headaches.
Erica Brittain, Wichita sophomore, said she was vaccinated after a 4-year-old boy who attended child care at the Dole Human Development Center died last semester of bacterial meningitis.
Rock said there were two types of meningitis, bacterial and viral. The two types have the same symptoms but are different in severity.
He said bacterial meningitis had a more rapid and aggressive course, and 10 to 15 percent of people infected died from it.
Viral meningitis is the less-severe of the two. Rock said that type rarely was life-threatening and had no vaccinations to counter it.
"It is better to pay money to get a shot because there is a chance of someone dying when they contract the virus," she said.

The art of ballroom dancing may seem lost to a generation hooked on MTV. The precise and formal movements may look stodgy in comparison to the improvisation of the club dance scene.
However, people still learn the steps to the tango and waltz, and find enjoyment in ballroom dancing.
And some of those people are part of the KU Ballroom Dancing Club. All those interested in kicking up their heels can do so weekly during swing and ballroom nights at The Flamingo Dance Academy, 106 N.Park.
"It's fun and usually more organized than club dancing," said Morgan McColloch, treasurer of the dance club and a Manhattan senior. "Learning a few steps makes you more confident on the dance floor. Dancing as a couple is more personal than just dancing next to someone in a club."
McColloch, who said he had always wanted to learn to dance, started learning steps as a freshman.
He said he enjoyed his time on the floor — he could meet and talk with new people as they spun around the University of Kansas Ballroom on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union.
He even benefited from his dance experience when he traveled to Japan in a study abroad program. McCollough joined a club and found more than he bargained for with the practice schedule.
Another avid dancer, Michiko Ito, joins the group every Sunday at the Union. Ito, a University librarian in Japanese studies, helps the group by advising them on their steps.
The Japanese dancers worked on their moves for 21/2 hours a day, three times a week. The simple repetition improved his dancing. McCollough said.
The dances are taught primarily by students, who also benefit from Ito's expertise, which she learned from her days of ballroom dancing in Japan.
It said it was difficult to watch students not live up to their full potential.
"It's hard because there is no chance for competition," Ito said. "There is a lack of motivation for students. They don't understand they can be better."
For those tempted by such a style of dancing, there are opportunities to learn and put skills to use.
The Flamingo Dance Academy, 106 N. Park St. W., offers a swing night every Sunday. Friday evenings are dedicated to ballroom dancing.
The club will travel to the St. Louis Star Ball next weekend to watch professionals and amateurs compete. The trip is open to all, as are the club's meetings from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. every Sunday afternoon.
During the next few weeks, the club will be teaching the Lindy Hop. Couples or individuals are invited to attend.

"Senior Day is always very emotional for us."

By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
It was a cozy day in Allen Fieldhouse yesterday as 16,300 fans packed the building to give a fond farewell to seniors Luke Axtell, Eric Chenowith and Kenny Gregory.
No. 11 Kansas' 75-59 victory against Missouri made for an entertaining side note.
In addition to being the seniors' final game at home, it was also a day for redemption as the Jayhawks avenged a 75-66 thumping Jan. 29 in Columbia, Mo.
"We didn't want to hear our three seniors' speeches if they'd just lost a game," Gooden said. "The feeling wouldn't be right. Everybody's on top of the world right now. We got the win against Missouri. It was Senior Day, and we got the win for them."
Sophomore forward Drew Gooden, who led Kansas with 19 points and seven rebounds, said he was happy the seniors ended their home careers on such a high note.

The win was in question for a while, though.
tion for a while, though.
The Jayhawks (23-5 overall and 12-4 in the Big 12 Conference)
struck quickly as sophomore forward Nick Collison scored four points in the first 45 seconds, giving Kansas an early lead. Missouri freshman Rickey Pauling responded with six points and Brian Grawler nailed a
Six straight Missouri turnovers halted its run with a three-minute drought while Kansas cut the lead to one point. Paulding finally found his touch again and pushed Missouri's lead to 17-10.
A 14-3 Jayhawk run started to turn things around, though. Chenowith and Collison each sank two free throws and point guard Kirk Hirnich sank a three-pointer that tied the game at 20-20. Missouri scrapped with the 'Hawks and led 31-20 at the half.
Kansas coach Roy Williams wouldn't use the Senior Day hoopla as an excuse for his team's 38 percent shooting in the first half, but did admit that emotions were running high before halftime.
"Senior Day is always very emotional for us," Williams said. "In the first half, we were not as
patient. When we did a better job of maintaining our poise, we were a lot better."
That poise was visible in the second half. Kansas was never rattled, even after Missouri guard Clarence Gilbert drained two treys and cut the lead to 43-42 with 14 minutes left.
Rather than folding, Kansas' guards put a glove on Missouri's shooters while Gooden scored 10 of Kansas' next 14 points. The 'Hawks built a 10-point lead that was capped by a Chenowith putback.
"The perimeter guys did a great job of guarding the shooters,"
Collision said of Hinrich and Jeff Boschee's defense against Gilbert and Grawer.
Wesley Stokes' free throws trimmed the lead to eight, but a 10-2 run by Kansas provided the knock-out punch and sent Chenowith home smiling.
"We always want to beat Missouri," Chenowith said. "We hate them, and they hate us. I would love to beat them 100,0 but that just isn't going to happen. It is really good to beat them."
Game notes
After the game, the three seniors bid their farewells to the home fans with speeches that lasted nearly 50 minutes.
Rush left the court with two minutes remaining and headed straight for the locker room. Rush was making his return to the court after missing seven games with a thumb injury but left after his thumb cast was jarred during a collision with Hinrich.
Rush accused Hinrich of intentionally trying to hurt him by pulling on the cast. Hinrich offered a differing account, though. He said that it was incidental contact while battling for a rebound.

Mismanaged cash has left some athletes out in the cold

POLICE
Flowers were thrown onto James Naismith Court in honor of seniors Luke Axtell, Eric Chenowith and Kenny Gregory, an amazing gesture for these stars of Lawrence.
Allen Fieldhouse was the site for a joyous occasion yesterday. Kansas wrapped up a No.2 seed in the Big 12 Conference Tournament after defeating an oh-so-hated rival from Missouri.
But on a day of excitement for a group of Kansas athletes, other groups were empty and dejected. The men's tennis and swimming and diving teams knew they wouldn't continue their traditions at the University.
All three players returned the sentiments with heartfelt speeches after the game.
Money talks, and smaller sports have to shut up and listen. The football team hasn't brought the needed revenue to support all sports sufficiently. Being a basketball school is great, but basketball just doesn't produce the same amount of revenue.
The Athletics Department needed a revised budget because scholarship expenses have increased, commitment to increased equity has a larger price tag and travel costs have gone up in the last few years.
Football schools such as Nebraska and Kansas State can spread a little more wealth. But not every school is a football school, and not every non-football school is dropping programs. So why is this happening in Lawrence?
Kansas swimmer Jason Hubbard might have some answers. The sophomore from Highland Ranch, Colo., said careless spending led to the decision.
"They took some unnecessary risks," Hubbard said. "The luxury boxes at the stadium haven't produced enough revenue."
Hubbard also said he thought that the
Hubbard was concerned with travel expenses as well, saying that less expensive airline and lodging possibilities could have been pursued.
Megavision screen at Memorial Stadium was unnecessary and that the large amount of money used for that addition could have been spent elsewhere.
Many signs pointed to building the scholarship suites. Most of those signs were of the dollar variety. The revenue plan has worked at other schools, but the most noticeable are, once again, Nebraska and K-State — more established programs.
Most of this might have been avoided if football renovations would have occurred roughly a decade ago, when the department was in the black economically, or when the team attended bowls in 1992 and 1995.
In regard to the travel expenses, the department reported that travel expenses have increased by 115 percent since Kansas entered the Big 12. Airline and lodging choices could be a variable in that.
But maybe the money is slipping away
because it has gone directly to student-athletes instead. Kansas is 16th nationally in money allocated to scholarships. That's definitely money well-spent.
Whatever the problem, no future men's swimming or tennis teams translates into saving $600,000 for next year's budget, and an expected $3.6 million in the next five years.
All that money seems insignificant when one sees the position the student-athlete is in.
Hubbard's home state of Colorado had one school — Denver University, which is private — with a swimming program. Kansas provided great coaches for Hubbard, but his school search must start again.
The department has offered to help these athletes continue their athletics elsewhere and will continue to provide scholarships as long as they attend Kansas.
Once again, money is supposed to help solve a problem, but some things just don't have price tags.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 5) Love gives you strength, and your love has the same effect on others. You start out feeling fine in March. The money doesn't go as far as you'd like in April, and prospects for advancement may dim. Keep studying and practicing, because May could be the month when you finally break through. Abundance is a surprise in June, since it comes from an unexpected source. Avoid a gold digger in July — you can do better. Play by the rules in September, and change your style in December. Heed your inner voices in February to find true love.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
An argument with a loved one and a delay in travel are both very likely to occur. The overall outcome is positive, you will undoubtedly find a way to get where you want to go, and you and your sweet-heart will make up. So lighten up, OK?
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
Listen patiently as a neighbor shares her troubles.
She'll feel much better once she has, and it won't take much hair off your hide. You may feel like the friendly local garbage collector, but don't complain You're good at it, and that's why they come to you.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
You're daydreaming about distant places, but try to keep your focus closer to home. Approach an important older person with respect, and you might get just what you want. Don't ask a friend to intervene for you. This time, you're better handling it yourself.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
You want to get from here to there, but there's no easy way. Don't give up. A friend can help you find what you need, including a path around an obstacle. Ask somebody who's looking at things from a slightly different perspective.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
You should be able to have just about you want, but you can't, at least not yet. If you can just turn this sense of frustration into creative energy, you'll be amazed. You might actually achieve your goal, or something just as good, by tomorrow.
Don't give up.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
You may feel like others are ganging up on you, but don't despair. They feel strongly, so you should hear them out. If you are right, it should be obvious to even those with low intelligence. Let them discover your wisdom on their own.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5.
Make service your top priority. If someone else needs something done, jump right in and do it.
That's especially true of an older person who's in a rather nasty mood. Don't turn away; help out. You'll make the situation better for everyone.
**Scorpio** (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9.
You hold all the aces. Some of your friends are can fused, muddled, stumbling about. But you can see what needs to be done, and maybe even how.
Offer others the benefit of your wisdom, but don't let it get in the way of your fun.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
A loved one may be trying to talk you out of your life savings. Resist. You want to stash a little more away before you spend any. The more you put down, the less you pay in interest. Pay cash, and you'll save a fortune. Explain that to the cutie who wants more toys.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
C
2
Somebody wants to talk your ear off about their great plans for the future. They may think they have it all figured out, but they need you. Offer your advice, but only when they're smart enough to ask for it. They'll value it more that way.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
The work is coming in, and it's partially your own fault. Trouble is, you don't know how to do what you've promised. It's risky business, but you can make it pay. You can read the manual while you're doing the job, can't you? This probably isn't the first time.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.

Men win doubleheader against Boise State
The Kansas men's tennis team swept a doubleheader on Saturday at Alvamar Racquet Club, knocking off Boise State and Missouri-Kansas City by mirroring 4-3 scores.
Kansas lost the doubles point in each match but rebounded in singles play. The No. 57 Jayhawks defeated No. 56 Boise State as singles wins by Eleazar Magallan, Quentin Blakeney, Pete Stroer and Andrew Metzler delivered Kansas the win against the Broncos.
The storyline was similar in the second half of the twin bill, as the Jayhawks bounced back from losing the doubles point against Missouri-Kansas City and defeated the Kangaroos. Kansas' first four singles players — Magallan, Blakeyen, Stroer and Barragan — all came out and clinched the victory for the Jayhawks, each winning in straight-set fashion.
Blakeney led the way with a 6-3, 6-0 win against 95th-ranked Mark Roberts.
The two victories gave the Jayhawks some momentum as they gear up for Wednesday's showdown with Texas & A&M at Alamora.

But then again, their performances in yesterday's 75-59 win against the Tigers in Allen Fieldhouse were right on the mark.
Kansas' trademark all season has been team play, balanced scoring and low-post dominance, which was something that Missouri couldn't compete with.
Kenny Gregory led all the seniors with 16 points and nine rebounds, with seven of them coming on the offensive end. Eric Chenowith shook off a slow first half and scored 11 points and hauled down six rebounds.
Luke Axtell, who started the game, was unable to come out for a curtain call in the final two minutes because of his injured back.
"He just couldn't move," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "He just can't get in a stance and in a stance to guard anybody."
However, Williams said he hoped to give Axtell some days off this week and get him ready for the Big 12 Tournament next weekend in Kansas City. Mo.
Although Williams was looking for good things out of his seniors, it
Sophomore forward Drew Gooden took that challenge seriously. He scored a game-high 19 points and was the fiery spark for the 'Hawks in the second half.
"I think he does that because a lot of seniors take pressure on themselves to win the game," Chenowith said.
"Drew was very emotional." Williams said. "I challenged all the underclassmen. I told them it was their responsibility for Luke, Kenny and Eric to finish the right way. The underclassmen have to take care of the old guys."
Gooden and fellow sophomore Nick Collison dominated the second half and helped spark a surge of offense in the paint. Gooden pulled down seven rebounds to go along with his 19 points in his second game back after breaking a bone in his wrist. Collison added 13 points with 13 rebounds.
And the outcome was fun for the seniors, because of Williams' challenge to the underclassmen.
"I think we did a better job of getting the basketball inside in the second half," Williams said. "I think we did a better job of what we were
Chenowith also said Williams just wanted the seniors to go out and have fun.
was the underclassman who he challenged to make sure the seniors left the fieldhouse for the last time as winners.
"We didn't want our seniors out there giving a speech after we just lost," Gooden said. "Everybody just gets to enjoy the rest of the day. The seniors get to give their speech feeling good."
At the half, Missouri had 16 points in the paint, compared to just 12 for the Jayhawks. By the end of the second-half onslaught, Kansas had doubled Missouri's output down low, amassing 40 total points.

Kansas will play seven games at Memorial Stadium as part of its 11-game 2001 football schedule, coach Terry Allen announced yesterday.
The Jayhawks will open the season Sept. 1 against Southwest Missouri, the first of three straight home games.
Kansas will also play UCLA and Wyoming in that stretch. The Jayhawks and Bruins will meet for the first time since Kansas beat UCLA 51-30 in the 1995 Aloha Bowl. Kansas last played Wyoming in 1972. The Jayhawks won 52-14 in Lawrence.
Kansas will have just three games outside the state border. The Hawks play Kansas State Oct. 27 in Manhattan along with their seven home games. The Jayhawks will travel to Colorado (Sept. 22), Texas Tech (Oct. 6) and Texas (Nov. 10).
The other Big 12 Conference schools also announced their upcoming schedules. Highlights include teams playing some identical nonconference opponents. Nebraska will play Notre
Dame on Sept. 8 in Lincoln, Neb.
The "Huskers defeated Notre
Dame last year in overtime in
South Bend, Ind. Texas A&M will

Nikki White can't help but ponder what might have been as her final season on the Kansas women's basketball team winds to a close.
Who can blame her? There's no telling how good White could have
been if it wasn't for the constant strain of ankle and knee injuries that have plagued her career.
"I really wish I could go out there and play healthy for just one game." White said. "I've been trying to do that ever since I got
PETER MATHIS
here. It just hasn't really worked out for me. I think God had plans for me to go through whatever I've gone through."
White; plans to seek graduate degree in psychology
White, who scored a career-high 20 points in the Jayhawks 75-62 victory at Texas A&M Wednesday, still has a year of eligibility left for the Jayhawks. But the prospect of
another year battling injuries has proven too daunting. She will graduate from Kansas this summer with a degree in psychology, and she plans to attend graduate school next fall and study clinical child psychology.
When White first came to Kansas in 1997, coach Marian Washington had big plans for the 6-foot-3 center from Harding Academy in Memphis, Tenn.
Now, four years and seven surgeries later, White's career has never reached the heights both she and Washington once envisioned. Like White, Washington too often wonders what might have been.
"I've said many times that if she was ever fortunate to be able to have a healthy year, she probably would be one of the best centers in this conference," Washington said. "She's just not had that opportunity. And yet she's fought through a lot of those challenges and she remained with the program and she's tried to give us whatever she's had."
Even though Washington would love to have White back for one more season, she's content with the choice White has made.
"I think God had plans for me to go through whatever
I'vegone through."

senior forward
to go through another surgery to play, which she would have to do." Washington said. "She's done so well here academically. She's ready to go on for her advanced degree. We're real proud of Nikki and we will always appreciate what she's done."
White's injuries and expectations have made for four emotional years, including a redshirt season in 1998-99 when she had off-season knee surgery. Her career came to a head during a tearful speech on Senior Day after a loss to Missouri on Feb. 24.
It was a special day for White because it was the first time her mother had seen her play in Allen Fieldhouse. White unsuccessfully fought back tears as she thanked her coaches and her family for all their support.
"I didn't think it would be that emotional for me," she said. "I've
seen other people go up there for Senior Day, and they usually cry at the end or something like that. It's not the same when you're actually out there and you see coach Washington sitting across from you. She's a big part of your life while you're here."
White's last game as a Jayhawk might be tomorrow against Oklahoma State in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. Unless Kansas (11-16 overall and 5-11 in the Big 12) can score an upset against the Cowgirls, its season will end.
White and the rest of the Jayhawks aren't ready to give in just yet.
"We have all decided that we are going to just keep fighting," White said. "We've really had a tough season this year, but along with the other three seniors I think we really have the mentality to continue to fight and beat all those teams that beat us earlier this year. A lot of them were close games, and we really feel that when we go out there and play hard we can compete with anybody."
Baseball team splits weekend battle with Oklahoma State

The Kansas baseball team experienced a major case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde this weekend against No. 12 Oklahoma State in Hoglund Ballpark.
Saturday, the Jayhawks stormed past the Cowboys 6-4, getting another standout performance from senior pitcher Pete Smart.
Kansas (7-5, 1-4) followed up Saturday's win looking like a completely different team yesterday. Oklahoma State (11-3, 4-1) scored six runs in both the second
Randall: soid team would recover from 16-5 rout

Kansas coach Bobby Randall said that the team would have to forget about vester-
and third innings on the way to a 16-5 rout of Kansas. The game was called after seven innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.

"We're not going to dwell on this, and we can't afford to dwell on this," Randall said. "We're going to talk about what happened, but we'll get this out of our system and come back to play tomorrow."
"Winning at home is so key. It's something that we didn't do very well last year, but hopefully we'll do it better this year." Pete Smart
day's loss and show up ready to play in today's 1 p.m. rematch.
Oklahoma State came out swinging yesterday. The Cowboys rouged up Jayhawk starter Dan Olson and relievers Sam Gish and Eric Thompson in the second and
third innings. The Cowboys' clean-up hitter, Luke Scott, started the scoring in the second inning with a towering home run over the scoreboard in right field. Second baseman Nebissett Brown added a two-RBI double in Oklahoma State's six-run second inning.
By the time Oklahoma State finished hitting in the third inning, Kansas faced a 12-0 deficit.
Smart began the weekend for Kansas with his finest and longest start of the season. He clamped down on the Cowboys through seven innings, surrendering only one earned run on three hits and striking out eight. Smart said the win proved just how important winning at home was in the Big 12 Conference.
"Winning at home is so key," Smart said. "It's something that we didn't do very well last year, but hopefully we'll do it better this year."
Oklahoma State jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on Saturday when Ray York scored on a Rob Watson double. Kansas broke through with four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and chased Oklahoma State starter and preseason All-Big 12 pick Josh Merrigan out of the game.
Kansas senior Brent Del Chiaro pounded a double off the top of the center field wall, starting the rally. Senior Jesse Gremminger drove in Del Chiaro with a single. After sophomore Matt Van Alsburg's single, Gremminger eventually came around and scored on a Merrigan wild pitch.
With two outs in the inning, senior Doug Dreher lined a two-RBI double to left field.
"Doug's hit was exactly what we
needed," Randall said. "We haven't been hitting that well in the clutch, so that was the big hit. Doug came up and two strikes and two outs and fights out a base hit."
Kansas added single runs in the sixth and seventh innings before Oklahoma State made the game interesting in the top of the ninth. Kansas closer Doug Lantz served up a solo home run to Jose Virgil and a two-run shot to Rob Watson as Oklahoma State cut the Kansas
to lead 6-4. Lantz calmed down and Dreher finished the game by making a diving grab of Zach Cates' looping line drive.
Kansas and Oklahoma State meet in the third and final game of the series today at 1 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark. Kansas junior Jake Wright and Oklahoma State's Scott Baker are today's probable starters.

Texas secures first-round bye in conference tournament
The Associated Press
"The reason we are playing well right now, is
Saturday after the No. 24 Longhorns beat Texas Tech 78-55.
"We've gone up and down this year because we started out this season with a lot of young guys. We are one game out of first place. I don't think anybody thought this was possible."
LUBBOCK, Texas — The Texas team heading into the Big 12 Conference tournament on a six-game winning streak isn't playing anything like it was early in the season.
Chris Owens scored 22 points and Maurice Evans added 18 for Texas (23-7 and 12-4 in the Big 12 Conference), which clinched a bye in the first round of the Big 12 tournament with Saturday's win.
Fight now is because we have more guys playing better basketball for longer periods of time," said Texas coach Rick Barnes on
Cliff Owens had 21 points, and Jayson Mitchell added 10 for the Red Raiders (9-18 and 3-13).
Big 12 Basketball
"They play with tremendous chemistry," Dickey said of the Longhorns. "They hit big shots. They defended. They rebounded extremely well, and they played with a purpose."
Texas' newfound confidence and purpose is something Texas Tech coach James Dickey said his team had lacked all season.
It was Texas' ninth straight victory over Texas Tech, which last won in the series in the 1996-97 season. The loss was Tech's fourth straight since beating Nebraska on Feb. 21. That win broke a sevengame losing streak which followed Tech's upset of No. 21 Oklahoma on Jan. 16.
Texas took an 18-8 lead, but a basket by Andy Ellis started a 12-2 Texas Tech run that tied the game 20-20.
"We and Maurice were talking to each other and telling each other to keep playing." Chris Owens said. "The score was tied, but I still felt like we had control of the game."
He was right. The Longhorns scored 50 of the next 68 points. They led 40-25 at halftime and built their lead to 70-38 with 5:34 to play.
The Red Raiders went on a 13-5 run during the final three minutes to make the final score respectable.
Texas finished with a 46-32 rebound advantage.
During a three-game stretch against Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma, Texas was outrebounded by an average of 17 boards. in the Longhorns' last five games before Saturday, they had a 38-rebound margin over their opponents.
Texas was 27-of-61 from the field, while Texas Tech finished 21-of-60.
Iowa State beats odds, wins conference
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — It seemed improbable at first.
Big 12 Conference player of the year Marcus Fizer had taken his power game to the NBA. Michael Nurse and Stevie Johnson both were gone. It seemed unlikely Iowa State could really repeat as the conference champion with what it had left.
"There was never any doubt," said point guard Jamaal Tinsley. "We knew we could do it."
And so they did.
No. 8 Iowa State beat Nebraska 66-73 Saturday in Hilton Coliseum and won the Big 12 title outright for the second straight year. The Cyclones (25-4 and 13-3 in the Big 12) have won 12 of their last 13 games and will be the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament in Kansas City this week. Iowa State will meet the Baylor-Colorado winner at noon on Fridav.
"Nothing tops it," said coach Larry Eustachy, who also won conference championships at Idaho and Utah State. "It possibly is the best because we weren't picked first. We weren't picked anywhere
- Marcus is gone; we have no chance. It's a special group."
The victory came in the final home game for the team's five seniors — Tinsley, Kantrail Horton, Richard Evans, Paul Shirley and Martin Rancik.
Tinsley, Horton and Evans were transfers and never lost a game at Hilton Coliseum in their two seasons, going 34.0. But it was an even more special moment for Rancik and Shirley because both have been dogged by injuries through their careers and were unable to play a major role during last year's title run.
Eustachy pointed out to the other players during the team's
"I said, 'You ought to really lay it out for those guys.' Eustachy said. "Those two guys have broken 74 bones together and they really deserve an effort by everybody, and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. That's the kind of team we have."
shootaround Saturday morning.
Shirley finished with 12 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks. Rancik had 13 points, six rebounds and two steals.
"It's amazing for me," Shirley said. "Just because coming here, not really expecting to play a whole lot and then to be a part of something so special has been tremendous."
Nebraska (14-15 and 7-9) tried its best to spoil the occasion.
Playing without center Kimani Friend, who sprained a ligament in his right knee on Friday, the Cornhuskers raced to a 10-point lead in the first half and led by six

They also committed 19 turnovers and 31 fouls, leading to a 35-10 edge in free throws for Iowa State.

First he hit a three-pointer. Then he scored on a drive and followed 22 seconds later with a runner from the left of the basket. And finally, another driving shot that turned into a three-point play. That made it 85-72. Nehraska was finished.
coach Barry Collier said. "Because they were walking to the free-throw line."
Still, Nebraska was in it late, drawing to 72-69 with 3:26 left on a driving shot by Cookie Belcher, who led the Cornhuskers with 25 points. Then it turned into Tinsley Time.
Tinsley wound up with a career-best 29 points — 23 in the second half and 10 in the final 3:02.
"They are a veteran ball club," said Nebraska guard Kevin Augustine, who scored a career-high 16 points. "I didn't really see any panic in them. Those guys have played a lot of basketball and are very confident."

'Cats pull out win against Colorado
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — In the final game of what has been a rough regular season, the battle-scarred Wildcats finally found a way to win a close game at the end.
C
Matt Siebrandt and Kelvin Howell each hit two free throws in the final 30 seconds as Kansas State held on and beat Colorado 72-67 Saturday night.
Then guard Richie Terry went coast-to-coast for a
It was exactly the kind of game the young Wildcats had been letting slip away all year. Colorado went on a late 11-2 run, tied the game and appeared to be doing the same thing that so many other opponents had done.
Then a funny thing happened. K-State guard Larry Reid passed the ball inbounds, got a return pass and went up for a bucket that broke the tie.
layup. After that, forwards Siebrandt and Howell came through at the line.
"The difference was we made plays," said K-State coach Jim Wooldridge. "And not just one guy. There were a lot of guys making plays. I have to believe that one guy led off another's success."
With the victory, the Wildcats finish the regular season 10-17 — one more win than a year ago under Tom Asbury. Their conference record of 4-12 is a twogame improvement. They also wound up 10th in the conference, two spots above the last-place finish they experienced a season ago.
"We've been in many games like this, and it was time for us to win one."
said Siebrandt, who had 10 points and six rebounds. "We haven't had many road wins, and we agreed it was our time."
Travis Reynolds, who played most of the second half with foul trouble, was seven-for-seven shooting and had five rebounds to go with his 15 points.
Reid and Phineas Atchison had 11 points each for K-State.
"Reynolds made some big plays, and we got a big play from Richie Terry down the stretch," Wooldridge said. "But the difference was we got a lot of big plays, and not from one guy."
"This was just another difficult loss for us," said Colorado coach Ricardo Patton. "We dug ourselves a hole in our last game of the season and on senior night."
Jamahl Mosley had 12 points and six rebounds and Chevis Brimmer added 11 points for Colorado (15-14 overall and 5-11 in the Big 12 Conference), which lost its fifth in a row.
Baylor looks to postseason after impressive Big 12 win

in the Big 12 Conference) to their largest margin of victory ever in a Big 12 game.
"I think everyone had a great time tonight," Black said of the Bears, who broke a four-game losing streak. "We were passing the ball and we had a lot of assists. We played as a team."
Both teams struggled early, but almost five minutes into the game the Bears went on an 18-2 run that gave them a 27-11 lead. Minor scored eight points during the almost seven-minute run, helping Baylor take a 38-26 lead into halftime.
In the second half, Baylor continued to build on its cushion — going up by as much as 27 points — before settling in
for the 26-point victory, its largest over Texas A&M in 34 years.
"We ran out of gas," Texas A&M coach Melvin Watkins said. "We just don't have anything left in the tank."
Guard Bernard King led Texas A&M (10-19 and 3-13) with 14 points, while guard Andy Leatherman had 11 and forward Nick Anderson 10.
Black and Minor keyed a Baylor offensive attack that made 60 percent of its shots. The Bears also clamped down on defense, limiting Texas A&M to a 37 percent shooting performance.
Black, who scored 19 in the second half, also notched team-highs of eight rebounds and seven assists for Baylor.
Guard Wendell Greenleaf added 14 points for the Bears, while freshman guard Matt Sayman scored all 12 of his points in the second half.
The Bears now hope the win carries them into the Big 12 tournament, which starts Thursday in Kansas City, Mo.
Minor didn't hesitate when asked if the Bears deserve a postseason berth.
"Yes, definitely," Minor said. "I think if we come out and do some damage in the Big 12 tournament, (getting a postseason bid) will pretty much take care of itself."
Tough defense helps Oklahoma avenge loss to state rival
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — This time,
Oklahoma turned a huge night by an
Oklahoma State player into just another
statistic.
Maurice Baker scored a career-high 31 points for Oklahoma State, but No. 17 Oklahoma offset that with scoring balance and strong interior defense in a 68-56 victory Saturday night at the Lloyd Noble Center.
Oklahoma guard Hollis Price scored 16 points, including a three-pointer that beat the shot clock with 1:23 to
play, as the Sooners assured that they would be at least the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament this week.
Nolan Johnson also scored 16 points for the Sooners (23-6 and 12-4 in the Big 12 Conference), who never trailed after an early 12-2 run
Q
gave them a 10-point lead. Forward Aaron McGhee had 11 points, and guard Kelley Newton added nine for the Sooners.
"When this team was 1-3 (in conference play), I think that we buckled down and really became a much more focused team." Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said.
Oklahoma State (19-8 and 10-6) had beaten the Sooners by 28 points on Feb. 14 in Stillwater, Okla., when Victor Williams scored a career-high 26. This time, Williams had only three.
Forward Fredrik Jonzen, the Cowbys' second-leading scoring averaging 15 points per game, was one of six from the field and finished with four points. No Cowboy other than Baker
scored in double figures, and Baker also led the team with nine rebounds.
"I think they were just playing very physical," Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said. "Any time Fredrik got the ball, they did a good job of dropping back in his lap. He just wasn't getting any good looks. Their defense was very good."
Oklahoma State, which had won four in a row, will be the No. 5 seed in the conference tournament. The Cowboys shot just 41 percent and committed 23 turnovers.
Despite getting little production from
anyone but Baker, Oklahoma State only trailed 58-54 with a little more than three minutes remaining after two free throws and a driving basket by Baker.
But Price made two of three free throws at the 2:08 mark, then made the most of a broken play by hitting a 25-foot shot at the 35-second clock expired, pushing the lead to 63-54 with 1:23 to go.
"Coach Sampson always says to be a great point guard, you've got to keep an eye on the shot clock at all times," Price said. "That's what I did — kept my eye on the shot clock and the ball go."

NEW VORK — Television viewers may need to turn to other channels next fall to see two of their favorite series: Frasier and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
TV shows play field of studios,stations
COOL! THOSE
I'll ANSWER!
Both are becoming free agents, and negotiations between the studios that produce the shows and the networks that air them are being closely watched by people in the industry.
Jamie Kellner, the WB's chief executive, said in January that he was willing to give the show's producers every cent Buffy makes to keep it on the WB.
The Associated Press
"We will take all the revenue we can generate with Buffy and we'll give it to you in a giant wheelbarrow." Kellner said. "And if that's not enough, then take it to somebody else."
"I if a great show became available, we'd always listen." CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves has
At issue in negotiations is both the fee paid by the network to Paramount to air the show, and the duration of the contract. According to published reports, Paramount wants a three-year deal and NBC has been reluctant to commit for that long.
NBC West Coast President Scott Sassa called his talks with Paramount about Frasier the most cordial he had ever been involved in.
CBS is mentioned most often as a suitor — the comedy of Frasier would be a comfortable fit for CBS' mostly older viewership.
Yet NBC's exclusive negotiating window closed at the end of Thursday, meaning Paramount was free to shop the show to other networks.
A switch to another network is rare in the TV industry and almost unheard of when the original network still wants the show. Many observers doubt Frasier will be going anywhere.
The dispute over Buffy, currently one of the WB network's most popular and critically acclaimed shows, has been publicly more contentious.
The WB has offered a $1.6 million fee per show while 20th Century Fox, the studio that makes Buffy, has been asking for up to $2.5 million, said executives close to the talks who requested anonymity.
The Fox studio is aligned with the Fox network, which is considered a potentially compatible home for the edgy drama, which stars Sarah Michelle Gellar. The WB's exclusive negotiating window also ends this week.

'Hawks fail to make the cut
Distance medley team advances; others fall short
By Michael Sudhalter sports@kansan.com
Kansas swimmer
Members of the Kansas track and field team were all across the map this weekend in their last-chance attempts to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Track Championships, which will take place this coming weekend in Favetteville, Ark.
TRACK AND FIELD
The distance medley team of junior Brian Blachy, senior Charlie Gruber, senior Andy Tate and senior Jabari Wamble qualified for the NCAA Championships with a 9:39.16 time at the Alex Wilson Institute in Notre Dame. Ind.
"I said it in the fall that we could compete and win the distance medley relay," Tate said. "As long as you have a guy like Gruber on your team, you need to give him the stick
and let him dance with the big bovs."
Coach Stanley Redwine said sending the team to Notre Dame was crucial to its entrance into the NCAAs.
"We are extremely happy for our distance medley team," Redwine said. "It was a good decision to send them to Notre Dame — if we didn't send them, they wouldn't have qualified."
In Ames, Iowa, two Jayhawks broke school records at the Iowa State NCAA Qualifiers, but came up short of qualifying for next week's NCAA Championship meet. Senior Eric Patterson ran the second fastest time in school history for the 60-meter hurdles (7.97) and the women's 4x400-meter relay team set a new school record with a time of 3:44.10.
Relay team member Emiola Ajayi senior, said she was glad that the team could finish the indoor season on a high note.
"We wanted to go out and do our best," Ajai said. "It was a bonus being my last indoor event at Kansas to go out and break a school record."
Others competing in Ames were junior Jennifer Foster in the shot (45-9 1/4); freshman Laura Lavoie and junior Katy Eisenmenger in the women's 800 (Lavole, 2.12;38; Eisenmenger, 2.12;9), sophomore Eve Lamborn in the mile (50.48;9), and junior Derec Lacio and senior Keith Wellman in the men's 800 (Lacio, 1:54.11; Wellman, 1:55.21).
While some Jayhawks competed in the Midwest, two Jayhawks competed at the USA Championships in Atlanta. Senior Andy Morris finished 14th in the heptathalon with 5,063 points. The event is nonexistent at the NCAA Championships. Junior Ryan Speers finished eighth in the shot put event with a 57-6 1/2 toss, but did not gain an automatic qualifier for the NCAs.

Closer to home, junior Jeremy Hull competed in the pole vault at the Nebraska NCAA Qualifiers in Lincoln, Neb., but also came up short of qualifying for NCAs. He had a 15-11 1/4 vault.
Redwine said he was looking forward to the NCAA Championships on Friday and Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark.
"I am excited for our athletes," Redwine said. "It is time to go there and do our very best; we're ready for competition."

Strong tourney play lifts golf team
The Kansas women's golf team is feeling good heading into the GTE

dent after their strong six-place finish at the Carolinas Collegiate Classic last week in Pinehurst, N.C.
Playing good was exactly what the Jayhawks did, and coach
"It's a lot different than playing at Alvamar," said senior Ashely Bishop. "Everybody wants to play good at Pinehurst."
Nicole Hollingsworth was excited about her team's performance.
"I'm really happy with our Top Ten finish," Hollingsworth said. "To beat seven higher ranked teams gives us a good feeling heading into the week."
The team finished with a total score of 644 after sophomore Tiffany Krugel tied for ninth place and Bishop tied for 15th.
“The first day, I struggled a little bit, and I should have played a lot better,” Bishop said. “I could have done better, and I expect more out of myself for the rest of the season.”
As the team enters the busy part of the year, the pieces appear to be fitting into place. The sixth-place finish at the Classic was the second-straight Top 10 finish for the women. Kansas placed fourth at the Islander Spring Invitational on Feb. 19-20 in Corpus Christi, Texas.
"To beat seven higher ranked teams gives us a good feeling heading into the week."
the week."
Nicole Hollingsworth Women's golf coach
"We're doing good right now, and our confidence is really high," Hollingsworth said. "We're capable of playing good golf, if not great golf."
The recent success has been a pleasant surprise for a team that counts upon so many young players this season. The Jayhawks' starting lineup consists of only two seniors — Bishop and Sarah Mahoney — who are expected to lead the team in the right direction.
If age hasn't been a hurdle for the team, the weather surely has. The weather hasn't gone unnoticed by either the 'Hawks or their opponents.
"This year we've been out a little, but most of the teams we played in the last tournament had been outside more." Hollingsworth said. "It's no excuse for us."
Despite the weather, the Jayhawks continue to work on the little things that will make them tough to beat.
Confidence is key for the team as it heads toward the few remaining tournaments before the Big 12 Conference Tournament on April 23-25 in Ames, Iowa.
"Thinking we can beat people and then actually going out and beating people is key for us," Hollingsworth said. "The future of Kansas golf is one that's bright."

Professors to get more money for travel abroad
By Cassio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
More University of Kansas professors will be able to travel abroad because of a recent request by Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Hemenway said yesterday the University would dedicate $40 thousand more per year to international travel and research starting in July.
He said that sending more teachers abroad and facilitating research would help the University to become
more internationalized
The funds will come from the Kansas University Endowment Association and will allow the Office of International Programs to annually award 80 faculty members up to $1,100 to attend international conferences or conduct research abroad
Hemerow; will
dedicate $40,000
more per year for
travel, study abroad
Currently, the University distributes 55 awards of up to $800, covering up to 60 percent of the expenses.
Hodgie Bricke, assistant dean of international programs, said the announcement showed the University's commitment to international research.
Bricke said the initiative was aimed at creating a more internationalized campus by benefiting more professors and allowing more of them to go abroad.
John Scarff, director of communications for the endowment association, said the money for the awards had come from unrestricted funds.
These funds come from donations that don't have an specific purpose designated by the donor, he said.
The chancellor, Scarfe said, requests that funds be allocated to certain purposes. The request then needs to be approved by the executive committee of the endowment association before the action goes into effect.
Hemenway said he used the money from the unrestricted account because next year's budget shortfall left no funds for an increase to international travel and research.
He also said the decision to allocate the funds had been made three months ago, before Gov. Bill Graves announced his recommendations for the University's budget, which caused Hemenway to cut school, department and administrative budgets by $1.15 million last month.

Tennis team reacts to cut

Gustavo Telles hit tennis balls yesterday afternoon at practice. The simple routine of playing tennis offers a sense of familiarity in the trying time for the
Telles felt defeated by the University of Kansas this past weekend when Athletic Director Bob Frederick announced the termination of the men's tennis team, which consists of four international students — nearly half of the team.
The dream Telles thought he had accomplished — playing tennis at an American university — received the fatal blow due to budget cuts.
While the dissolution of the team will prompt Telles to look at other schools, he thinks the ramifications are much deeper than losing prospective international tennis players at the University.
"It hurts the University's reputation," he said. "People look at the University as

a whole not just a specific department. Everybody is just really disappointed."
Rodrigo Echagaray, Juarez, Mexico, junior, spent his collegiate career playing for the Crimson and Blue only to be left searching for a new school in his final year. He said he felt the team had been tossed aside by the administration, and that lives could be altered forever because of the decision.
Janelle Martin, associate athletics director, said the students would be immediately eligible for competition if they transferred to a different school. The NCAA has ruled that any time a sport is discontinued at an athlete's original college, he doesn't need to follow the standard transfer regulations.
"It's the first time I'm ashamed to be a Jayhawk," he said. "Some guys will have trouble transferring and will have to end their career. It will change their lives."
The men's tennis and swimming teams became the victims of budget cuts and will be discontinued after this season.

Gradate school entrance exam preparation
Classes help students hang on

Kansan staff writer
a zadeh Ziglari is lucky to have an hour to herself.
The Wichita junior in pre-med is taking 15 credit hours, works 12 to 20 hours a week at First Med, 2323 Ridge Court, and spends her remaining time volunteering at the Red Cross, which takes up an additional 20 to 30 hours each week.
So when it came time for Ziglari to plan time to study for her Saturday, April 21 Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), she needed professional help.
She enrolled in a test preparation course to help her prepare and make sure she didn't neglect one of the most important tests she'd ever take.
"I wouldn't have time to study otherwise," Ziglari said. "It's time for me to devote to the test."
Twice a week, she heads to a class conducted by the Princeton Review, 901 Kentucky St., where she spends three-and-a-half hours preparing for the MCAT with a dozen other med-school hopefuls.
Liz Meitl, director of the Princeton Review centers in Kansas City and Lawrence, said there were many reasons why even the busiest students, like Ziglari, enrolled in classes for the MCAT, the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), the Graduate Records Examination (GRE) or the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).

Fire knocks out services at athletic club

Total Fitness Athletic Center's members can continue to work out at another local gym after yesterday morning's fire, said Scott Dougan, membership director.
Dougan said Sixth Street Fitness, 2500 W. Sixth St., would allow all Total Fitness members to use its gym.
A manager would then talk with each member about what package the member had with Total Fitness, 925 Iowa St. If Sixth Street was competitive in rates and the member was agreeable, Anderson said, the manager and the member would come to an agreement about joining Sixth Street.
Brent Anderson, general manager at Sixth Street, said Sixth Street was giving Total Fitness members a one-day pass yesterday so they could experience the center.

"Every member will have the opportunity to become a worker," he said.
"We will absorb a certain number of their members, but we'll probably put a cap on
However, Sixth Street also has a respon
that," he said. He did not know yesterday what that can would be.
An estimate of the damage to Total Fitness was not available yesterday, Dougan said, because employees had not
been allowed back inside the building. The cause of the fire was not not yet known. The building was closed when the fire started at about 12:45 a.m., and no one was inside.
"Hopefully in the next four to six weeks we will have a temporary site up," he said. Dougan said he hoped the facility would be reopened in "four to five months, tops. When everything is said and done, people can come back if they want."
Total Fitness will not charge membership fees while the workout equipment and services are unavailable, Dougan said, and memberships that are already paid in full will be frozen. Freezing a membership means that members will still have the same number of days left to use the gym when it opens as they had before the fire.
Meanwhile, a letter will be sent to every member to explain the situation, Dougan said.
Carly Chandler, Shawnee junior, said she had just gotten back into a workout routine this semester and was concerned when she drove by the building yesterday and noticed it had burned.
"I wouldn't expect another place to open up facilities for us," she said. "That's pretty cool."

VOICE denies affiliation with past coalitions in Senate race
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
"I have no campaign violations to hide," she said. "Hunter (Harris) and I ran against each other last year. We came together to form this coalition. This is a new coalition."
Last week allegations surfaced about whether the newly formed VOICE coalition was all that new.
Jessica Bankston, who is running for student body president, said at the VOICE coalition kick-off party that allegations about VOICE trying to hide past elections violations by previous coalitions were ridiculous.
I
Neither Bankston, who ran with United Students last year nor VOICE vice presidential candidate Harris, who ran with Students First, have themselves been convicted of campaign violations.
The candidates running with each coalition change from year to year with senators graduating or not seeking re-election. Kyle Browning, Delta Force vice presidential candidate, said most of the candidates running with Delta Force were new and had not previously run with the coalition.
Bankston: said allegations were ridiculous
Harris: said VOICE consisted of a variety of candidates
Likewise, Harris said the VOICE coalition was composed of a variety of candidates.
"We have about a handful of students who ran with Students First and maybe twice that number from United Students," he said. "I'd say the largest number of people though, are people who are new to Senate."
Browning said that because Delta Force has been around for five years, the coalition was held more accountable with voters.
"People can call us on things and say, 'Hey, you guys said you were going to do this and you didn't,' " he said.
Branden Bell, who is running for a liberal arts and sciences seat with VOICE, said voters should hold their senators accountable, not a coalition.
"Even if you did keep the same name, you still have different people running," he said.
Bankston said last week that she thought there were advantages to a coalition breaking up at the end of election season. She said it made for a more unified Student Senate.
"Once you're a senator, you don't need a coalition to rally around," she said. "I think in the past, we assimilate coalitions with political parties, and they're not political parties. They're not the same."
Justin Mills, Delta Force presidential candidate, said senators didn't usually vote along coalition lines.
"If you look at how people vote on Senate, it's really not divisive," he said. "There are ideological differences between some people, but there really isn't a lot of factionalism between senators. You know who ran with who anwvay."
Mills ran with the YOU coalition two years ago. He said he would have run with Delta Force had he been asked earlier.

Police question boys about fraternity fire
Investigators may be closer to understanding last week's fire at the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity house after officers found three people breaking windows and attempting to steal items from the fraternity Saturday afternoon, Lawrence Police Det. John Lewis said.
Lewis said someone called the police with a complaint that two people were damaging the fraternity, 1941 Stewart Ave., and when officers arrived, they found three people. Lewis said officers discovered in talking that the three had apparently been at the fraternity the night of the fire. Lewis said they were now being questioned about the fire.
Thomas Cale Jr. was charged yesterday in Douglas County District Court with one count of criminal damage. His bond was set at $1,000, and he was expected to be released last night, a jail spokesperson said.
Lewis said a 15-year-old and a 16 year-old were released.

Witness says 'Shyne not gunman in shooting
NEW YORK — The first shots in a nightclub melee involving Sean "Puffy" Combs were not fired by Combs' co-defendant and protege, a witness testified yesterday.
Jamal "Shyne" Barrow, did not fire
the first shots, according to the witness, Tabon Terrence Jones. Jones, 34, a photographer from Philadelphia, said the gunman "had braids in his hair, and they were wrapped tightly all around."
Barrow, 21, who has closely cropped hair, is charged with three counts of attempted murder for allegedly shooting three people inside Club New York in the early morning hours of Dec. 27, 1999.
Jones was walking to a bar in the center of the club when, he testified, "I heard some loud, angry noises going on and I turned and looked. A man put his arm in the air and shot a pistol."
Jones hit the floor with many other patrons and said he heard another few shots, but couldn't tell if they were from the same gun.
Jones also testified that before the shooting, he had seen the gunman talking to two other men in the restroom.

Japanese Prime Minister suffers public censure
TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori survived his second no-confidence vote in Parliament yesterday, but pressure for him to go was unabated from opponents and even some allies worried over his dismal public support. The lower house of Parliament voted 274-192 to defeat the no-confidence motion submitted earlier in the day by four opposition parties. Mori, whose Liberal Democrats hold a majority in the chamber, defeated a similar measure in November. The vote gave Mori's enfeebled government a respite, but it was expected to be brief.
Speculation was rife that he could step down as soon as this week as the Liberal Democrat Party readies for its annual party convention March 13 and searches for a successor.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Dismissing the international outcry about his week-old edict to demolish pre-Islamic relics, the ruling Taliban's reclusive leader yesterday called their destruction a tribute to Islam and Afghanistan.
Omar calls demolition of relics tribute to Islam
As the Vatican weighed in for the first time by calling the order the "crazy" result of "fanatic extremism," Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar referred to international criticism as "noise" and described demotion of the relics as a tribute to "the brave Afghan nation."
Omar accused non-Muslim nations of trying to refashion Afghanistan's Islamic identity into one more acceptable to them.
But Omar did not address the disap proval expressed by fellow Muslim nations, including Pakistan and Iran, whose president, Mohammad Khatami, yesterday accused the Tailan of acting under the "guise of Islam" to commit acts that were "inhumane, violent" and against culture.
The destruction of the statues began after Omar ruled that they and other relics are idolatrous and against the tenets of Islam. Others argue that Islam does not ban images, only the worship of them.
Drug companies argue against African law
PRETORIA, South Africa — Pharmaceutical companies faced off in court yesterday against the South African government in a case that activists say is a landmark in the developing world's efforts to get cheap AIDS medications.
More than three dozen drug companies are suing the government to try to overturn a 1997 law they argue would allow the health minister to arbitrarily ignore patents on medications.
The hearing in the Pretoria high court was expected to last more than a week, and the ruling might not come before the end of the year. Legal arguments began yesterday morning about the application of the Treatment Action Campaign, an AIDS activist organization, to join the case in support of the government. AIDS activists argue that the pharmaceutical industry is trying to stop the developing world from getting cheap, generic AIDS drugs. Pharmaceutical manufacturers say the case is simply about an unclear South African law that could violate their patent rights.

Watkins urges immunization
By Livi Regenbau
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
With spring break around the corner, Watkins Memorial Health Center is encouraging students who are traveling outside of the United States to get immunizations.
As part of Safe Spring Break Week, Watkins will have an information table with brochures on travel and information on immunizations outside the health center today from noon to 2 p.m.
Randall Rock, physician at Watkins, advises students who are traveling to Central America, South America, Mexico and parts of the Caribbean to get vaccinated for Hepatitis A, a contagious viral disease spread by personal contact that attacks the liver. He said it was important for students to get the vaccination 10 days before they left.
Vaccinations cost $20 at
Watkins and provide a year of protection. The booster shot, which is also $20, is a two-dose vaccination that provides lifetime protection against the virus.
Rock said Hepatitis A symptoms were flu-like and often included skin turning yellow, nausea, vomiting, fever and fatigue. Cases of Hepatitis are often brought back by students who visit other countries, Rock said, and the only cure for the virus is time.
Lana Anderson, registered nurse and health educator at Watkins, said she hoped the information tables would raise awareness about the importance of travel immunizations.
Students should check with a doctor before going on any trips outside the United States, said Mora Berberich, St. Louis junior and employee of Student Express, a student travel company.
"I do recommend that all my travelers see a doctor before they

leave," she said. "Most young adults should have received that shot by now whether they are traveling or not."
Christie Eppler, Olathe sophomore, said she would consider getting the immunization before going to Jamaica this spring break.
"I am not concerned about it, but it is something that I might consider doing," she said.
Rock said students traveling outside the United States could make an appointment with the travel department at Watkins to get information about the country they are traveling to and the areas with high risk for disease and viruses. Students can call 864-9507 to make an appointment.

Man attempts to rob store
Police waited for him as he tried to escape
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A man who had just attempted to rob Westiake Ace Hardware made his "escape" right into the arms of police Friday, Lawrence Police Det. John Lewis said.
Lewis explained the story this way:
A woman noticed a man who had parked in a handicapped parking place acting "weird" around the bank and ATM inside a Dillons store. The witness followed the man's truck to the hardware store at 601 Kasold Drive and flagged down an officer who was driving by while the man was inside the store.
Meanwhile, one of the store's employees came out to the parking lot to see why police were there and told them he thought the man was trying to steal sunglasses inside the store. The officers said they would wait for the man to leave the store, but the man came running out of the store right then directly toward them.
A clerk followed the man out of the store and told police the man had just tried to rob the business. The clerk said the man had given her a note written on an envelope that said he had a gun and wanted money. He told the clerk not to move or call anyone.
The clerk said she could not give the man the money, and he said he would have to leave.
Police never found a gun. Later, the man tried to run off while he was handcuffed at the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St., but officers tackled him in the 1100 block of Rhode Island Street, Lewis said.
Officers also discovered the man's truck had been stolen from Missouri and contained items that had been stolen in a residential burglary in Shawnee County, Lewis said.
Nathan Hawk, a floor supervisor at Westlake, said he thought the man must have been desperate to rob a busy store in broad daylight.
"It was a really strange day," he said.
Hawk said he and-another store employee became suspicious when the man asked them if the store sold sunglasses.
"We thought it was kind of strange
"Situations like that can go very wrong. Fortunately, he was not a professional."

because he had sunglasses on," Hawk said. "We kept an eye on him, and when he approached the cashier with the envelope, it went downhill for him from there."
Hawk said employees were surprised by the cashier's reaction to the note. He said the cashier had thought the note was a joke and that another employee had put the man up to it.
"We were lucky," Hawk said. "Situations like that can go very wrong. Fortunately, he was not a professional."
The suspect, Daniel Allen Young of Kansas City, Mo., was charged yesterday with attempted aggravated robbery and obstruction of official duty. His bond was set at $20,000 on the charges, and he was also being held on a $10,000 bond for charges in another jurisdiction.
Police uniform and ID missing

Two Haskell students charged with the theft

A Lawrence Police Department uniform was still missing yesterday after two people broke into an off-duty officer's car downtown over the weekend, Det. John Lewis said.
At one point, officers heard a comment about going past Dillons, Lewis said. He said the officers did not know which Dillons store the people were referring to, but an officer noticed two people walking through the parking lot of the Kwik Shop, 1846 Massachusetts St.,
Lewis said two people had stolen the officer's gun, 16 rounds of ammunition, police radios, a uniform and the officer's identification from the car and were using the radios early Saturday morning.
Still, he said the missing uniform
"They were saying shots were fired and officers were down," Lewis said.
He said the department knew the people saying those things were not authorized to use the radios.
which is directly across the street from the Dillons store at 1740 Massachusetts St.
The two men kept turning around and looking at the officer, Lewis said, which made the officer suspicious. When the officer got closer, he noticed a microphone from one of the police radios sticking out of one of the men's pocket, Lewis said.
The suspects, two Haskell Indian Nations University students, Sky Betsellie and Mark Roberts, were charged yesterday in Douglas County District Court with burglary to a motor vehicle, criminal damage and theft above $500 but under $25,000, a jail representative said. Betsellie's bond was set at $1,500, and Roberts' bond was set at $1,000.
Police recovered the gun, which the men had hidden by the railroad tracks near the 800 block of East 15th Street, Lewis said. The two suspects told police where to find the gun. Police also recovered the ammunition and radios, but not the uniform.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick said he believed the identification was missing yesterday, too, but was not sure.
was not a great concern.
"It would obviously be a concern if somebody tried to use the uniform in the capacity of an officer." Patrick said. "But nine out of 10 times when an officer stops you, he's going to be in a marked car."
If an officer showed up at a person's door, it could be a concern, said Katie Mitchell. Wichita senior.
"It seems kind of disturbing that someone could impersonate an officer because people trust officers, and they are supposed to be a person you could safely trust," Mitchell said.
Diversity affected by tennis cut
She said she would not normally expect a uniformed officer to be a person with criminal intentions whom she shouldn't trust.
Continued from page 1A
Although Mitchell said she had heard that it was important to check someone's badge number and verify it with the department when approached by an officer, she said it would probably not be the first thing on her mind if an officer approached her. But she said she would take more precautions knowing a uniform had been stolen.
"I think after hearing it was stolen, I would be more cautious," she said.

While the University may lose many of its tennis players to other schools, it will lose diversity as well. Four of the nine athletes are international students from Mexico and Brazil. However, there were no international students on the men's swim team.
The balancing costs of increasing scholarships and travel costs led to both programs' demise, which will cut $600,000 from next year's budget and $3.6 million during the next five years. Frederick said at Sunday's University of Kansas Athletic Corporation meeting.
The loss of diversity isn't as important as the loss of tradition and history, said Echagarav.
The Kansas squad finished fourth last season behind three top 25 teams, while the football team finished ninth in the conference this season.

"We are paying the price for a poor administration"
Echagaray said it was hard to understand how the tennis team got cut and the football team received an upgrade in its stadium.
"The administration did it backwards. They built a really nice football stadium and expected people would show up." Echagaray said. "They need a good football team first that wins games. We are paying the price for a poor administration."

Students hope classes will improve test scores
Continued from page 1A
"MCAT is a really, really, really hard test," Meitl said. "It tests five different areas, so very few people can get a good score on their own."
John Trombold, a Leawood junior who also is in Ziglari's MCAT class, said he decided to take the class because he needed the extra edge it would give him.
"It's pretty competitive to get into medical school," Trombold said. "The better score you get, the better school you'll get in — that's the bottom line. There aren't nearly enough positions for all who apply, to begin with."
Erik Stordahl, manager of Kaplan Test Prep, 1000 Massachusetts St., said the popularity of test prepara
tion classes had increased in the past decade because of increased interest in graduate schools of law, medicine and business.
"The issue here is that every year since 1990, the scores have been going up, and the number of students applying has risen as well." Stordahl said. "However, the number of seats in each school has remained the same or even declined."
And, Meitl said, it was better for students to spend the $600 to $1,300 for a six- to 16-week prep class than to risk not getting accepted to a professional school.
"If you don't get into grad school right away, you have to wait an entire year before you can take it again," Meitl said. "That 12

months of your life is definitely worth the cost of the course."
"I realized that the test was really hard and the better I did, the better school I'd get into," he said. "For me, it was the investment of getting into a good school so that I could be a better doctor."
Ziglari said in addition to finding a spot in a graduate program, she was looking to better herself, and wasn't worried about those she'd be competing against.
"My greatest competition is myself," Ziglari said. "Everybody else is in the same boat as me."

Military school's reform efforts are toothless
Robert Chamberlain's column "Military school doesn't corrupt students' minds" (Feb. 22) makes several unfounded assumptions about Latin American Solidarity, activism and the nature of the former School of the Americas. As co-president this year, I know that Robert Chamberlain is not a member of Latin American Solidarity. He is not on our listserv, and he has not attended our organization's protest of the former school. Many of our members are deeply offended by the disrespectful assumptions made about our organization.
The School of America was founded as a combat school focused on counterinsurgency techniques, supposedly to protect democracy in Latin America. In September 1996, the Pentagon admitted that torture, execution, false imprisonment and extortion techniques were included in
the School of Americas and by mobile training units in Latin America until 1991. The school admitted to such trainings only under intense political pressure. Why would crittics of the school have cause to assume credibility on the part of the former School of Americas?
The 2000 protest was the largest act of civil disobedience since the Vietnam War. There were 10,000 people in attendance

including me. We are not being utopian; we ask that our government act professionally and justly.
In January, the school changed its name to the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation to take off the heat. The late Paul Coverdell, a former Georgia senator, said in an interview with the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer last April that "the School of the Americas would still be able to continue its purpose." He called the proposed changes to the school basically cosmetic. Why change the names of courses and revamp if the school was so virtuous?
The institute, like its predecessor, does not teach human rights. Only one of 42 courses in the 1996 course catalogue — Democratic Sustainment — centers on democracy and human rights. In 1997, only 13 students took it, compared with 118 who took Military Intelligence. The "mandatory human rights component" of other courses is insignificant, reports former School of America human rights instructor Charles Call.
The argument that the one percent of School of Americas graduates who are linked with human rights abuses are all psychopaths is simply absurd. Those are only the ones *School of Americas Watch* has linked with U.N. Truth Commission citings. The school does not track its graduates; it should unless officials are afraid of what they will find.
It's nonsense that professional graduates of the school who represent their nations' best would turn out to be psychopaths, all carrying the same mental disorder in which their "egocentric and antisocial activities" all result in rape, torture, genocide and assassination.
In my mind, torturing unarmed people isn't an example of "restraint and discipline" or typical of a "professional army." Two of three officers cited in the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero were School of Americas grads; three of five officers cited in the rape and murder of four U.S. churchwomen; ten of twelve cited for the El Mozote massacre of 900 civilians; more than 100 of 246 cited for atrocities in Colombia. Who would call the murder of 900 civilians "serving their countries as best as they could"? If this school reflects the population's one percent of psychopaths, why aren't all other military schools turning out psychopaths? Why isn't the University of Kansas?
The school's graduates continue to be linked to atrocities in Latin America — toward labor organizations, indigenous groups and religious workers. We want the school to close because it teaches combat skills that would be used against noncombatant civilians. If the University taught these things, we would call for its closure as well. If this is the best the institute can do, its reform efforts have failed miserably.
I live in a democracy where I can hold my opinion without the fear of being kipped, raped or tortured because I disagree with the stance of the military. Others are not so lucky.
For those interested in discovering why members of this community oppose the SOA under any name, Latin American Solidarity will sponsor a dinner and panel discussion at 6 p.m Tuesday at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries

Drinking, zealotry create common social dilemma
This campus presents two options for social interaction: Get drunk on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, or pray on Sunday morning. I'm neither a Christian nor a binge drinker, and I could give you a long list of reasons why. But that would be telling you why I don't, not why you
That said, let me indulge myself and, without passing judgment on either side, point out logical inconsistencies on both sides.
Why is it that we college students pride ourselves on being great rebels, but when it comes to our social scene, all we do is what everybody else is doing?

labeled a loner and an alcoholic. But if I go out with friends and drink 15 cans of Natural Light, I'm a "social drinker." What kind of sense does that make?
But it seems to me that if heavy drinkers were truly respectful of lightweights (such as me) and nondrinkers, then the heavy drinkers wouldn't feel this ridiculous need to constantly ask, "Why aren't you getting wasted?"
When I raise these questions to my friends, I frame them as a personal-liberty argument. Not drinking heavily is what I choose, and they should respect that. Usually, they do.
In my experience, the best Christians are the ones who don't bring up their religion after knowing me for five minutes. They're the ones who show themselves to be moral long before they tell me why I'm immoral. For the record, the vast majority of Christians I know fit these criteria.
I have similar questions for some Christians.
The worst Christians are the ones who use their religion to label as immoral anybody who disagrees with them. You don't have to watch CNN very long to find examples.
What's with this current rash of politicians (from both political parties) who claim to act in the name of Jesus Christ? I've read the Bible, and I think this is the last thing Jesus would want.
In his Sermon on the Mount, which is one of the few times in the Bible that Christ doesn't speak in parables, he says, "Beware of men who practice their religion in front of others in order to be seen by them (Matthew 1:6)." Who was Jesus talking about if he wasn't talking about politicians?
I ask these questions not only to get them off my chest but also to point out the logical inconsistencies that arise when people swing to the extremes. Extremists don't listen. They don't allow anybody to challenge their ideas, and their ideas become weak.
My point is that excessive drinking and religious zealotry are extremes. They are opposite ends of a spectrum. They are not your only options. That's a false dilemma.
Drinking and praying are not the only things to do with your spare time. I've recently tried my hand at rock climbing. I've discovered abilities I never knew I had and found a sense of inner peace deeper than anything I've ever felt.
If you see the world in black and white, you miss the color. Life is too short and too precious to block out the beauty for the sake of ease and morality.
If you want to scream at me to chug a beer, go right ahead. If you want to scream at me to accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior, you can do that, too. Either way, you'll be screaming to deaf ears.
But, then again, that's why I climb. It's not necessarily why you should.

Clean-fuel cars deserve a chance
A program exploring ethanol's usefulness is a step toward a cleaner city.
Local officials have brought a more environment-friendly mode of transportation to town.
Three new city vehicles run mainly on ethanol, a corn-based fuel that burns more cleanly than regular gasoline. This is a step in the right direction in investigating ways to use more energy efficient transportation in Lawrence.
The pilot program that the city is participating in will help determine the efficiency of ethanol.
According to a Feb. 9 article in the Lawrence Journal-World, the city was given a storage tank, a pump and fuel to use in three city-owned cars until June. Those cars will run on a 75 percent ethanol, 25 percent gasoline blend and will be financed by the Kansas Corn Commission.
Goals for the project include recording both performance and mileage of the cars and, based on the results, potentially working to increase their popularity.
The only competitor of ethanol for a niche in the fuel industry is the chemical MTBE.
However, according to an article in the February 2001 High Plains Journal, MTBE causes groundwater pollution and is being phased out in some areas, leaving ethanol as the key alternative.
There are 60 ethanol production plants in the United States and at least six new ones being built.
As both fiscal and environmental costs of traditional fuels increase, new fuel options are necessary. There is a large supply of ethanol available to fill this need. The next step is to test how ethanol can work best and incorporate it into automobiles.
Large, fuel inefficient vehicles can be wasteful; ethanol-fueled vehicles, however, contribute to a cleaner environment.
The steps that Lawrence is taking to help realize a cleaner place to live are the right ones.

Carnaval to celebrate Brazilian traditions
By Michelle Ward

Kansan staff writer
The KU Brazil-Portugua Organization offers the University a history and cultural lesson this week through various activities and presentations. For the duration of Brazilian Week, the club's members will promote
their homeland through food, dance and information.
The week will culminate with the Carnaval, a huge celebra.
BRAZIL WEEK

tion at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., Saturday night. The beginnings of the four-day Brazilian festival come in preparation of Lent, cramming as much partying as possible before the religious season, said Bruno Pleroni, president of the club and
a Rio de Janeiro senior. Because of conflicts with the band and building, the club couldn't hold Carnaval before Lent, although Pieroni, who is also a cartoonist for the Kansan, said members were planning to sell 1,000 tickets to the party, which has grown steadily during its two decades in Lawrence.
Club members will intertwine week-long events with daily functions, giving those at the University numerous chances to experience Brazil for themselves. Liberty Hall is offering a free movie rental of a Brazilian flick with the rental of another movie. Another special throughout the week is a display on the third floor of Watson Library showcasing Brazilian and Portuguese authors and crafts.
in some universities back home."
"Even Brazilians don't know how huge the collection of Portuguese-Brazilian authors is in Watson," Pieroni said. "There are books there we can't even find
in some universities back home.
The performances will begin Wednesday with a capoeira dance from noon to 1 p.m. at the Kansas Union Plaza. The dance by Axe Capoeira, a Kansas City group, will take the crowd back through time to the days of slavery in Brazil. The dance originated from slaves who practiced defending themselves when they attempted to escape their masters. To shield their real motives from their masters, they set their fights to music, combining martial arts and dance.
"It's a physical way of playing chess," said Karen Lisondra, one of the performers. "It's also the historical roots of breakdancing, but it's a lot more disciplined than breakdancing."
Brazilians will host a dance clinic for the upcoming Carnaval, giving students a chance to learn the native moves. Brazilian students will mostly instruct students in samba Thursday night at Ecumenical Christian Ministries,

frove, a dance popular in northeastern Brazil, and forro, a couples dance, will also be on the bill.
"We wanted to give people a little taste of samba before the dance," said Mariana Souza, vice president of the organization and a Rio de Janeiro senior. "We wanted to show people a little bit of everything."
Friday will provide an array of activities for students. A live band, Malaka, will play popular Brazilian music at noon at the Kansas Union Plaza. The club will show the Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning film Orfeu Negro, which tells a love story under the back drop of Carnaval, Friday at 3:30 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium
in the Union. The day will conclude with the Brazilian night, from 6 to 9 at ECM, which will provide culture, art, food and music with a slide show. The program will be an informational fair with students setting up tables of their own interests. Souza, a journalism major, will share a table of newspapers, magazines and other literature.
Other Brazilians and Portuguese will get into the act with their own interests as Antonio Simoes, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, will present a slide show of the landscapes, people and cities of Brazil.
The week will end with Carnaval Saturday night. Those who plan to attend can preorder tickets through the club's Web site, wwwku.edu/~brapo/, and pay the $10 fee the night of the event. The party, which will last from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., will feature the sounds of the Chicago Samba School.

Broke,memberless and joking: Joe Walberg Fan Club
By Danny Phillips writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Are you a fan of Joe Walberg? Not many people are, judging by the official member tally of the Joe Walberg Fan Club at the University of Kansas.
There's Walberg, of course.
Then there's Brad Sager, one of Walberg's friends. And student body president Ben Walker is the club's treasurer.
"Which is funny," said Walberg, Shawnee senior. "We don't have any money."
"The club doesn't really exist." he said.
ing the club official.
So what exactly is the Joe Walberg Fan Club? According to its founder, nothing.
Walberg first came up with the idea for his own farcical fan club "on a whim" when he was on the Student Senate Finance Committee. During the next few years, his friends would occasionally tease him about mak-
"There's not a whole lot of social significance to it," Walberg said. "It's just 'Ha, ha. Look what I can do.'"
Aaron Quis director of the Student organizations a n d Leadership Development Center, said student organizations needed to meet certain criteria in order to be officially recognized, and Walberg met that criteria.

Walberg: started his own fan club at the University.
All it took was three officers and an adviser who worked full time at the University.
"They're legit and good to go." Quisenberry said.
The club's adviser is George Pisani, director of laboratories
at the biological sciences division.
But that's news to him.
But that's news to him.
Pisani said he didn't know who Walberg was. And he certainly didn't know anything about being the adviser of a fan club.
Walberg, College Republicans vice chairman, explained: he tricked Pisani.
Pisani is adviser to the College Republicans, and Walberg said he had Pisani sign a piece of paper under the premise that it was to help him start an online offshoot of the Kansas Review, a conservative publication that was started in 1999.
That was the only time Walberg and Pisani had ever met, which explains Pisani's ignorance of Walberg's existence.
running the club as a ioke.
In Walberg's defense, he said initially he did plan to incorporate a satirical publication with the fan club, but he decided it would be more fun just to keep
And for a club that doesn't exist, it's got quite a structure.
There's the club Web site --- www.ukans.edu/-jwfc/ -- up and running for several weeks now, which Walberg maintains himself. So far it's been hit nearly 200 times. He said he found it humorous that any student organization was entitled to free server space from the University.
"Even my stupid and frivolous organization can use up University bandwidth," he said. The Web site is Walberg's tongue-in-cheek view of the University and his club's stance on campus controversies, he said. For example, the Joe Walberg Fan Club isn't the biggest supporter of the Jawbow.
"I think it's kind of a stupid waste." Walberg said.

The site also has a listserve and information about a fan club "fund-raiser."
His Web site says he would much rather have a cybercafe so he can sip a "double-cafe-mocha-
Walberg and a friend are hoping to produce club T-shirts, complete with an original logo and the catch phrase "Most students drink 0 to 5 drinks when they party. Why be average?"
"I'm trying to think of some inkers who owe me favors," he said.
Of course, there's another fund-raising option that Walberg could legally explore — petitioning the Student Senate.
"They'd probably do it," he said. "It's funny. They're not supposed to do that."
Walker, who said he was a big fan of Walberg, signed on to the club as a joke. He didn't even know he held the treasurer position.
"Joe has some problems with his self-esteem sometimes," kidded Walker.

Chest pains send Cheney to hospital
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney, who has had four heart attacks, suffered chest pains yesterday and was taken to a hospital where doctors inserted a tube to examine arteries for possible blockage. President Bush called it a "precautionary measure."
Adviser Mary Matalin said Cheney was undergoing a cardiac catheterization at George Washington University Hospital to determine what was causing the chest pains. "They're going in to take a look," she said. "Details to follow."
Cheney, 60, suffered a heart attack in late November but quickly resumed a full schedule after an operation to fix a blocked artery. One of his heart arteries was 90
percent blocked, so doctors implanted
a wire scaffolding-like device
One of his heart arteries was 90
called a stent to push away the blockage and prop open the artery walls.
It was his fourth heart attack since he was 37. In 1988, Cheney had quadruple bypass surgery to clear clogged arteries.
PETER C. MAYER
Aides said Cheney who
was working at the White House yesterday, told Bush in the morning that he was experiencing discomfort in his chest and planned to be examined by a doctor.
Cheney: experienced chest pains yesterday
One aide to Cheney said he headed to the hospital about 3:30 p.m. The aide said he appeared normal, even cheerful, all day.
Matalin said Cheney checked himself into the hospital "for a repeat cardiac catheterization after experiencing two brief, mild episodes of chest discomfort. This is a non-emergency precautionary procedure. An EKG obtained at the White House this afternoon was unchanged from one obtained last Thursday."
Cheney is an unusually active and influential vice president. He headed Bush's transition team, played a major role in Cabinet and top personnel selections and has helped Bush forge foreign policy as well as a national energy policy. White House officials say Cheney is the adviser Bush most relies upon to
make sure his agenda is carried out.
In a telephone interview, Matalin said the EKG last week was part of a normal follow-up to the heart attack Cheney suffered late last year.
Cheney, who has declined to release his full medical records, seemingly has lost some weight since then, but aides won't say how much — or how much he now weighs. He exercises regularly on a treadmill and has been skipping sweets, aides said.
The Constitution requires Congress to confirm a new vice president if that office should become vacant. The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967, has been invoked twice, when Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned in 1973 and again after President Nixon resigned in 1974, elevating Vice President Gerald Ford to the presidency.
High school shooting kills 2, injures 13
Associated Press
SANTEE, Calif. — A 15-year-old boy who had been picked on and had talked about shooting classmates allegedly opened fire in a high school bathroom yesterday, killing two people and wounding 13 in the nation's deadliest school attack since Columbine.
One student said the boy had a smile on his face as he fired away with a pistol at Santana High School in suburban San Diego.
The boy, a freshman whose name was not released, surrendered in the bathroom, dropped his gun and said he acted alone, telling officers: "It's just me," according to sheriff's officials. They said he will be charged as an adult with murder, assault with a deadly weapon and gun possession.
Both of the dead were students, and at least one of the victims was a
campus supervisor, Sheriff William Koender said.
Fellow students and an adult acquaintance said they had heard the boy's threats over the weekend but thought he was joking and did not report him to authorities.
"He was picked on all the time," student Jessica Moore said. "He was picked on because he was one of the scrawniest guys. People called him freak, dork, nerd, stuff like that."
Student John Schardt, 17, was in a nearby classroom when the shooting started about 9:20 a.m. in a boys' restroom and spilled into a quad.
"I looked at the kid, and he was smiling and shooting his weapon," Schardt said. "It was total chaos. People were trying to take cover."
Schardt said he took photos of victims and another student videotaped the gunman's arrest, but authorities confiscated the film and the tape.
Andrew Kaforey, a 17-year-old
"I looked at the kid, and
he was smiling and shooting his weapon. It was total chaos. People were trying to take cover."
John Schardt
Santana High School student
senior, said he ran into the bathroom with a security guard after hearing what sounded like a firecracker or a gunshot. "He pointed the gun right at me but he didn't shoot," Kaforey said.
As he and the guard ran out, the gunman shot the guard in the back, Kaforev said.
Investigators said the boy used a 2.2-caliber revolver, stopping once to reload, and retreated after the shooting into the bathroom.
The attack was the nation's deadliest school shooting since the April 1999 bloodbath at Columbine High in Littleton, Colo., where two teenagers killed 12 fellow students and a teacher before committing suicide.
"This is my worst nightmare," Principal Karen Degiescher said. She said that the campus will be closed today and that counselors were called in to help students.
Classmates and acquaintances of the boy described him as skinny and the subject of constant harassment. Students said he boasted about owning a gun.
Over the weekend, the boy "was joking on and off that he was going to come to school and shoot people," said Joshua Stevens, 15, a friend of the boy. "He had it all planned out, but at the end of the weekend he said he was just joking and he wasn't really going to do it.

Media in U.S. wrong about Brazilian soccer
Brazil's 2-1 victory against the United States Saturday at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles wasn't a surprise.
The real surprise was the American media's portrayal of Brazilian soccer in an old-fashioned and revered way because of their lack of interest and knowledge about the sport.
Usually, when the Brazilian soccer team travels abroad, dozens of television stations pile into airports and fans crowd stadiums during practices and outside hotels.
When Brazil plays, everyone watches — but not here.
In the United States, the Brazilian team is as close to being anonymous as it can be. Just two television stations were at Los Angeles International Airport for the team's arrival. The two stations, coincidence or not, were Spanish-speaking.
Soccer doesn't get good television ratings here and coverage of the sport in newspapers is minimal.
That lack of interest causes several misconceptions when American soccer analy-ists look at the Brazilian national team or at Brazilian soccer in general.
Brazilian soccer is treated with such reverence here it seems, sometimes, that we are living decades ago during a time when Brazil won three World Cups (1958, 1962 and 1970).
During those years Brazil had the best soccer player ever to touch a ball — Pele. When Pele played, everything was easy. The Brazilian team was a gathering of 10 very good players and a god.
The team didn't need to worry about soccer tactics or even care about who the opponent was. Brazil had Pele, the man who won three World Cups, two world club championships and scored more than a thousand goals.
Nowadays, things are different in Brazilian soccer.
It took Brazil 24 years — or the next five championship opportunities — to win the World Cup again. They did it in 1994 when they beat Italy in the United States. Not only had Pete retired, but the huge disorganization in Brazilian soccer contributed to this period of talent-waste.
I bet most American college basketball and football teams are more organized than Brazil's professional soccer teams. Fans here know schedules almost a year in advance; Brazilian fans, like me, know ours about a month or two before a game.
Most of our players play in Europe, which means that it is very hard for us to get them together and ready to play. When the coach does get them together, it happens a night or two before a game.
That simply means it is very hard to have tactics under these conditions. We still have the best players, in the technical aspect of the game, but we are not organized enough to always win.
Brazil probably has 50 or 60 players with enough talent to play for the national team, which usually is composed of 18 to 22 players. But talent is not enough to always win a game played by 11 starters.
A team that doesn't have a soccer-god needs tactics.
Brazil played a bad game against the United States on Saturday, which will cause our coach to replace some of the players who started that game.
We don't have Pele anymore, but we can still live to everyone's expectations.
But Americans don't see our failures.
Fartado in a Pelotas, Brazil, senior in journalism and political science.
It only takes practice, determination and unity.
But Brazil is still a little bit ahead of everyone. We have the tradition, the fancy plays and the eternally-remembered yellow shirt. But I, as a Brazillian, know we can do much better than losing to France in the 1988 World Cup final or beating the United States 2-1 last Saturday.
Part of improving America's perception of soccer is to see that today the world has several countries that could win a World Cup. I can mention Argentina, Italy, France or the Netherlands as candidates for the title without any shame.
Even though the technical skills of those countries are still light-years behind Brazil's, they play together and are very disciplined, making them strong contenders for any tournament.
Program cuts difficult for all
By Brandon Stinnett sports @kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Kansas men's tennis coach Ross Nwachukwu didn't have time to talk with reporters yesterday afternoon. He was too busy scouring new universities for his players to compete at next season.
Just one day earlier, Bob Frederick, Kansas athletics director, announced that the men's tennis and men's swimming and diving programs would be discontinued in the 2001-02 season.
It's been a difficult two days for Nwachukwu, who learned of the cuts in a meeting with his players and Frederick on Sunday.
It hasn't been easy for Frederick, either.
"This is clearly the most difficult decision that I've had to make in the 14 years I've been here,"
The athletics department's senior administrative group, along with t h e University of K an s a s Athletic Corporation, made the decision.
Frederick said yesterday afternoon.
Frederick's said University had reasons for cutting the sports
decision last Tuesday after eight weeks of deliberation. The players and coaches were notified after
Chancellor Robert Hemenway gave final approval Sunday morning.
Frederick said there were reasons why the men's tennis and men's swimming and diving programs were chosen. Only five schools in the Big 12 Conference have men's swimming and diving programs and eight have men's tennis programs. The teams also share practice facilities with students at Robinson Center, so scheduling conflicts were commonplace.
The University's continued commitment to gender equity prevented the elimination of any women's sports. While a majority of Kansas athletes on scholarship are male, the program cuts leave just seven sports for men, compared to 11 for women.
But Amy Perko, associate athletics director, said it was the men's programs that had to go.
"Given our commitment to running an equal opportunity department, it wasn't an option for us to even discuss cutting a women's sport," Perko said.
Frederick said every alternative was explored to thwart rising budget costs, but the only viable solution was to eliminate the two programs. The move will reduce $600,000 from next year's budget and save $3.6 million during the next five years.
The current athletics budget of $23 million is projected to increase by $5 million during the next five years. The program cuts are part of a three-part plan to counteract this increase.
A new donor seating plan will be instituted for men's basketball games in Allen Fieldhouse, where the best seats will be given to the people who donate the most money. Frederick said the Athletics Department will be looking for new ways to cut expenses from its own operations, such as not replacing people when they resign or retire.
He said the department would consider reinstating the two sports if budget concerns were lifted in the future.
Sophomore standouts
"We talked about it at the board meeting and that would be something that we would look at if we get to the place where we're on a more firm financial footing," he said.

Four Jayhawks make All-Big 12
By Chris Wristen
sponsors@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Last year they headed into postseason play as tired, wide-eyed freshmen on the brink of their first trip to the Big Dance.
This go-round, the kids are all grown up. Sophomores Nick Collison, Drew Gooden and Kirk Hinrich were named to the Associated Press All-Big 12 basketball teams.
Gooden, a 6-foot-10 forward, was chosen for the All-Big 12 first team, while Collison and Hinrich made the second team. Kansas senior forward Kenny Gregory, who leads the Jayhawks in scoring at 16.1 a game, was a third-team selection.
Gooden, who missed eight games with a broken wrist, is averaging almost 16 points and nine rebounds and is the only member of the first team to rank in the league's top 10 in both scoring and rebounding.
"Drew is having a great year," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "Even though he missed the games with injury, you look and he's led or been close to the league lead in rebounding all year. Plus, his scoring is up this season as well."
Gooden leads the Big 12 in rebounds and is second in scoring for No. 9 Kansas (23-5 overall and 12-4 in the Big 12 Conference). In his first two games back since the wrist injury, Gooden scored 17 points against Kansas State and 19 points against Missouri.
"He's been back two games now, and he feels good." Williams said. "He's got a little extra bounce in his legs because he was out those three weeks."
Collison's numbers improved from his freshman numbers, but they've taken another leap during the last two weeks. In the past four games, he has averaged almost 19 points and eight rebounds per game, improving his season averages to 13.8 and 6.3, respectively.
The promise that Hinrich displayed during last year's NCAA Tournament has carried into this season. His 52.4

percent three-point shooting has him on pace to break the school and conference records, but it's his Big 12-leading 7.15 assists that have made the biggest difference to the team.
"There's no way that I can practice every day and then play," Axtell said. "I was definitely disappointed because I thought I'd be able to do more, but I just couldn't move."
"I don't think there's any guard playing any better," Collison said. ("Jamaal) Tinsley gets a lot of hype, and he's a great player, but I think Kirk does a great job running his team the same way that Tinsley does at Iowa State."
Senior swingman Luke Axtell was able to play sparingly in Sunday's home finale against Missouri, but his ailing back will force him to miss practice time this week in order to be able to play in the Big 12 Conference Tournament on Friday in Kansas City, Mo.

'Hawks lose despite comeback try
By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
The sun shined bright and there wasn't a cloud in the sky at Hogland Ballpark yesterday. Too bad the comfortable weather couldn't prevent another one-run loss for the Kansas baseball team. The Jayhawks rallied and knocked-in two runs in the ninth inning, but it wasn't enough as No.12 Oklahoma State took the third and final game of the series 4-3.
Kansas dropped to 7-6 overall and 1-5 in the Big 12 Conference with the loss, but more important, yesterday's loss marked the Jayhawks' third one-run loss of the still-young conference season.
"We've lost three Big 12 games by one run and that hurts," said coach Bobby Randall. "I told our guys that it isn't that we don't like
what we're doing, but what we do,
we've got to do a little better."
Last season, eight of Kansas' 20 conference losses were by two runs or less. Senior Brent Del Chiaro said this year's squad possessed the determination to get beyond the close defeats.
"We're in every ball game, and we're happy about that," Del Chiaro said. "Coach Randall's talked a lot this week about fighting and battling to the end, and that's all that we can ask."
Oklahoma State (12-3 and 5-1) got on the board first in the third inning. Paul Powell and Nebasett Brown smacked back to-back doubles off Jayhawk start Jake Wright. Brown would later score on Luke Scott's RBI single.
Doug Lantz relieved Wright in the fifth iming. Lantz went five innings and struck out five in relief in his longest outing of the season.
Randall said a couple of baserunning blunders cost the Jayhawks dearly, especially in a one-run game.
"We didn't create enough chances today, and when we did early in the game we lost a couple of baserumers." Randall said.
Kansas will take on Southwest Missouri State at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in Springfield, Mo.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 6).
You're good at serving others, and this year you'll take the lead. Set out to make a dream come true in March. Accept your dream job in April. Learn by doing in May and by reading the textbooks in June. You're winning in July, and it shows. Work in August is fun and pays pretty well, too. Take on more than you think you can do in December. Accept your friends' encouragement in January. Be objective next February to fix an old problem.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
The path ahead looks wide open and you're ready to go, but don't squander resources. To make this idea work, stay within your budget. Everything seems easy today, but it also will be easy to over-spend.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
tourts (April 20-May 20) — I always a 7.
Fixing up your place a little could improve your investment a lot; having more equity in your home never hurts. If you don't own a home yet, talk with a lender. You may not be as far from getting one as you thought.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
You'll spend all day racing back and forth if you don't find help. Get a friend to run an errand, for example. An extra 10 minutes spent on the phone beforehand could save hours later.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
There are several ways you can make ends meet either cut costs, increase your income or do both. Get the job done early and you'll look even better when you ask for a raise.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8.
Sheer the facts at your fingertips to win the argument; she bravado's not going to do it this time, though it always makes you look dashing.
Celebrate tonight with a passionate friend.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
You may feel a sense of urgency about changing something at home. Your partner would like to think it over, but you're ready. Throwing out something that belongs to the other person could get you into trouble.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
Spur your creativity by learning something new. A skill you've always admired could be yours. Get the book or sign up for the class.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8.
Heed a partner's suggestion, but trust your hunch.
By being in the right place at the right time you
could beat the competition. Provide what's needed
before it's asked for, and your success is assured.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
Break out of the same old rut — you've got the emotional support you need, if not the financial. But don't just cut and run. Take care of the folks who need you.
Capricom (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Check with your network of informants. You could find out about a deal and move on it before anybody else gets the news. It might cost money to make money, but that's all right.
C
2
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
It may be hard to win a debate with a charming friend with facts alone. You may decide to throw the game, even if you have the winning hand.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Your workload's increasing, so show you can keep up. The older folks are watching you. They like you, so it shouldn't be too hard to get more work and more money.

Bush honors Oklahoma football, softball teams
WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush saluted Oklahoma University's national champion football and softball teams at the White House yesterday, urging them to set good examples as role models.
"I'd like to remind those who are champions on the field that it's important to be a champion off the field, too, that there's a lot of young men and women who look at you all as champs," he told the two squads,
"Being the champ, the national champion, is an awesome responsibility." Bush said. "It means not only do you get to carry a trophy, it means you have the burden of setting the example, of saying to young kids, 'Somebody cares about you enough so that we'll help you make the right choices in life.'"
who flanked him in the East Room.
He likened the Oklahoma football team's championship season to his own presidential victory last year. The Sooners capped their
QJ
13-0 season with a 13-2 victory against Florida State in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3, and the team presented Bush with a ball from the game.
The softball team beat UCLA, 3-1,
earning its first national championship at the Women's College
World Series in Oklahoma City.
"We both started our respective campaigns as underdogs. We both won our championships in the state of Florida," Bush said. "There's a big difference, though. It took you all 60 minutes. Took me 36 days."
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas rallied from an early deficit and defeated Wisconsin-Milwaukee 9-3 yesterday, sweeping a three-game series from the Panthers.
Texas sweeps series with Wisconsin team
Dave Pudlosky doubled in a run and scored after a ground out and an error for a 2-0 UWM lead in the top of the fourth inning.
The Longhorns (12-8) responded with five runs in the bottom of the inning behind a

with two runs in the fifth on RBI hits from Ontiveros and Tim Moss.
Quintin Oldenburg (0-1) got the loss for Wisconsin-Milwaukee (0-3). He gave up seven hits and seven runs, only three of them earned, before leaving in the fifth run. He struck out two and walked three.
The Panthers were hurt by four errors; only five of Texas' nine runs were earned.
Darin Haugom had a triple and scored for the Panthers in the seventh. Pudlosky went 2-for-2 for the visitors.
BASEBALL
Belle fights hip pain, might not play again
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The $39 million question remains unanswered. Will Albert Belle be able to play baseball again for the Baltimore Orioles?
Belle again delayed his long-await ed spring training debut yesterday, declaring himself unable to play in an exhibition game on the road against the New York Mets
Cubs
He has missed all four of the
Orioles' spring training games because of an arthritic right hip that threatens to end his career. Shortly before the Orioles boarded a
bus to Port St. Lucie, Belle told man
mager Mike Hargrove that his ailing
hip had not healed enough to allow
him to play right field.
"Their waiting chat has become a daily ritual, and Hargrove has yet to hear the three words he's been waiting for: "I can play."
"It's no different than yesterday. The hip was no better," Hargrove said. "He'll try to play tomorrow."
Belie, 34, has three seasons left
on a $65 million, five-year contract. He will receive the remaining $39 million whether he plays or not. The Orioles have an insurance policy that will cover 70 percent of that amount, The Washington Post and The Baltimore Sun have reported.
But money is not the issue for the Orioles, who need Belle's bat in a lineup that is severely lacking in power. Despite suffering through a second-half slump last season because of his hip, Belle still led the Orioles with 23 homers and 103 RBI.
That's why Hargrove will wait as long as possible before charting plans for a season without his projected cleanup hitter.
Hargrove said Sunday the team would like to reach a decision by the middle of spring training.
BOXING
The women, the daughters of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, will fight Friday, June 8 at the Turning Stone casino to coincide with the International Boxing Hall of Fame's Induction Weekend, Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbratter said yesterday.
VERONA, N.Y. — After months of verbal sparring, Laila Ali and Jacqui Frazier Lyde will resume the ring rivalry begun three decades ago by their fathers.
Daughters of boxers to fight this summer
Frazier-Lyde and Ali fought and won separate bouts in Verona on Friday night. Ali (9-0, 8 KOs), who needed five rounds to stop Christine Robinson (2-5, 1 KO), ended the fight with a barrage of rights and left uppercut.
In a shorter fight, FrazierLyde (7.0, 7 KOs) stopped Genevia Buckhalter (2.8, 2 KOs) at 1.05 of the first round.

Stanford tops poll again; 'Hawks No.9
The Associated Press
STANFORD, Calif. — They avenged their season's only loss to UCLA. Now the top-ranked Stanford Cardinal have other hurdles before they can look to the NCAA Tournament — home games against Arizona and Arizona State.
Stanford (27-1) was a unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press college basketball poll for the secondstraight week and the third time this season.
Stanford, the only Division I team with less than three losses, received all 70 first-place votes and 1,750 points from the national media panel yesterday, after its 85-79 victory against UCLA last weekend.
The victory also clinched the Cardinal a share of its thirdstraight Pac 10 Conference title.
But the regular season is not finished yet. On Thursday, Stanford plays host to No. 8 Arizona (21-7) before the season finale Saturday against Arizona State. A victory against either team would give the Cardinal the conference title outright.
Stanford downed the Wildcats 85-76 earlier this season in Tucson, Ariz.
"We want to show the country that we are hands-down the best team," said Stanford forward Ryan
Mendez.
Following Stanford in the poll was Michigan State (24-3), which moved up the rankings after beating Wisconsin and Michigan last week and earned the Spartans a share of the Big 10 regular-season title.
Duke (26-4) dropped to third. The Blue Devils beat North Carolina on Sunday, sharing the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title, but lost to Maryland earlier in the week.
Big 10 co-champion Illinois moved from fifth to fourth after defeating Minnesota on Sunday, Florida, which beat Kentucky on Sunday and earned a share of the Southeastern Conference regular-season championship, also moved up one place and was fifth.
North Carolina dropped two spots to sixth and was followed in the Top 10 by Iowa State, Arizona, Kansas and Boston College.
Maryland, which followed its 91-80 win against Duke with a 102-6 victory against then-No. 7 Virginia, made the week's biggest jump, from 16th to No. 11. Virginia dropped five spots to 12th and was followed by UCLA, Mississippi, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Syracuse, Georgetown, Notre Dame and Texas.
The last five ranked teams were St. Joseph's, Wake Forest, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Fresno State.

Women's Basketball 'Hawks to battle Oklahoma State

The Jayhawk seniors — Jaclyn Johnson, Brooke Reves and Jennifer Jackson — will suit up today for the opening of the Big 12 Tournament at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo., in what could be their last game as Jawhaws.
Jackson said she was only concentrating on making sure the game against Oklahoma State was not her last game.
"I don't think any of us seniors are thinking that way," Jackson said. "Obviously, it could be the last one, but we are only focused on beating Oklahoma State."
In today's game, ninth-seeded Kansas (11-16 overall and 5-11 in the Big 12) must average a 61-53 loss on Jan. 17 to the eighth-seeded Cowgirls to keep its season alive.
"Right now we are taking the tournament one game at a time. Hopefully we'll win and get to keep playing," Jackson said.
Kansas, which is seeded lower than it has ever been in a Big 12 Tournament, will have to contend with the Cowgirls' balanced offensive attack. Kara Faulk leads the Cowgirls (14-13 and 6-10) in scoring with 11.6 points and rebounds with 7.9 a game. But Faulk has five other Cowgirls who average seven or more points.
In their previous meeting, the Jayhawks played without Johnson, who left the game after turning her ankle. But it was the 26 offensive rebounds Kansas allowed that cost the Jayhawks the game.
"Our Achilles heal all season has been our rebounding," Jackson said. "We need to box out and keep them off the boards. If we can do that I think we can win any game in the tournament."
But that has been easier said than
done this season, as Kansas has struggled with that complete game.
A loss today would be the Jayhawks' 17th of the season and would tie the 1974-75 team for most losses by a Kansas women's basketball team.
This season also snapped Kansas's string of 12 consecutive 20-win seasons. The last time the Jayhawks won fewer than 20 games was in the 1988-89 season when the team finished 13-14.
But today the Jayhawks enter the Big 12 Tournament with a clean slate, needing a win to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. The team must win the tournament to qualify
for the NCAA Tournament, which it has participated in for the past nine seasons.
"We have to get our heads on straight in Kansas City," Johnson said. "Or our season will be over."

East coast storm raises TV ratings
NEW YORK — While the snowstorm churning up the East Coast annoyed millions of people kept home from work, school or travel yesterday, it was a gift from the gods for The Weather Channel.
The Associated Press
"There will be a lot of people saying you hyped it." Connellly said. "If it had happened the way we had predicted, they would be thanking us. But that's the nature of weather. It's not an exact science."
One forecast the normally sleepy cable network can count on: viewership often quadruples when the snow piles up or a hurricane bears down.
"The only thing that can possibly keep me going is adrenaline," he said. "The worst thing that can happen is if something starts to disappoint me."
The network's winter weather expert, Paul Kocin, was already starting to fret about his earlier predictions for the storm.
The Weather Channel's correspondents stood in the snow, sleet and freezing rain to report on conditions yesterday. Sleep-deprived forecasters urged viewers to be patient while the storm's full fury had yet to materialize in cities like Philadelphia and New York.
He wasn't giving up on this storm, though, and Connelly wasn't second-guessed The Weather Channel's preparation. Backed by dramatic music, the network titled its near-constant coverage, "Winter Blitz: March Lion of the Northeast."
Connelly immediately dispatched correspondent Bill Keneely to Washington, Jim Cantore to Manhattan and Mike Seidel to the Boston area.
"I find most of them frustrating," said Kocin, a former NASA weather expert who first went on the air two years ago. "The reality of all storms is they all have their intricacies."
But with the storm headed on a more northerly track, Keneely was sent racing up the highway to Hartford, Conn.
When computer models spit out predictions of megan snow last week, "it sounded like it was right out of The Perfect Storm," said Terry Connolly, senior vice president at The Weather Channel.
Kocin has barely left his office at the Atlanta-based network since Friday, occasionally catching a few hours of sleep on a couch. He usually appears twice an hour on the air.

Senior golfer upholds team initiative
By John Domoney
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Leadership is often overlooked in sport in favor of highlights and statistics. Behind every team, however, is a certain leader who holds the team together in tough times and keeps it focused during times of success.
For the Kansas men's golf team, this leader is Andy Stewart. The senior golfer from Independence, Kan., is not only asserting his experience and maturity to the team, Stewart is also leading by example on the course.
After Stewart finished in a tie for third place along with teammates Casey Harbour and Chris Marshall at the Rice Intercollegiate tournament, he finished in the top 10 at a tournament after only one top 10 finish during the 2000 campaign.
"I played two rounds about as good as I wanted," Stewart said. "I'm not unhappy with the way I played."
has been a Stewart, who has become a solid force for the Jayhawks as the program has also become a Big 12 Conference contender.
It has been a smooth four years for

"Andy is just a real consistent ball striker who drives the ball really straight," said Kansas head coach Ross
Randall. "Sometimes his short game isn't as good, but when he putts well, he can post really good scores."
Randall: says
Randall is the golf
team's spokesman
This consistency isn't surprising
for Stewart because of his constant exposure to the game.
"I've been playing for as long as I could hold a club." Stewart said.
After four seasons of growth, Randall has come to view Stewart as his link to the mood of the team and as an irreplaceable personality.
"If I need to know how the team is feeling mentally, I ask Andy," Randall said. "I would say he is the team's spokesman."
Stewart said he took his role seriously and realized that being a senior brought an added responsibility to his obligations.
"I try and keep the younger guys looking ahead because as a senior, it's my job." Stewart said.
At this point in the year the 'Hawks and Stewart are at a pivotal point. The team's recent ascent to the No.19 national ranking has served as a reminder to the rest of the country
"I want us to win at least two of our upcoming tournaments and Big 12s," Stewart said. "I also want us to make it to nationals and make the cut at nationals."
Along with team goals, Stewart has lofty expectations for his final few months on the golf team.
"I still want to get a win, but if I don't, it's not the end of the world." Stewart said.
No matter what direction Stewart heads in after this year, he will always remain fond of his playing days at Kansas.
Stewart can continue to look toward the future because Randall believes that Stewart has yet to hit his peak.

KU swimmer upset at University spending
At 5 p.m. Sunday, members of the Kansas men's swimming and diving team were informed that they no longer have a program.
As a member of the program, this came as a bit of a shock, to put it lightly. Through the confusion, I found myself trying to decipher the reasons behind this decision. The primary issue that continued to pop up in my head was that of economics.
As the Athletics Department struggles with a tightening budget, someone must bear the burden. The result
— two nonrevenue sports are eliminated. Along with the men's swimming and diving team, the men's tennis team has also fallen under the ax.
What is the selection of these two programs based on? The amount of revenue they generate? The success they have had? The amount of money that will be saved in the long run by the elimination of these sports scholarships?
These sports do not yield much of a financial return. They depend on basketball, as all Kansas sports do, as well as football, whose luxury boxes have been highly unsuccessful. The elimination of the men's swimming and diving program and the men's tennis program should not have been the solution.
There are many unnecessary expenses that could be cut back on for the preservation of these two programs. The swimming team takes an annual training trip to Florida, and when the tickets selected for this and other trips run around the price of $300, it is obvious that there is room for improved spending.
Cory Gallagher
If anyone has noticed, there are improvements being made to the tennis courts outside Robinson. Does it make sense to invest more money into a program that has been reduced by half? (The women's tennis team is still in existence, thanks in part to Title IX.)
In a press release by the department, Bob Frederick mentioned "salary issues," Perhaps we should take a look at the ludicrous amount some coaches are paid. Because of poor financial planning, 50 athletes have been set adrift with the single stroke of a pen. Two good programs have been eliminated and 50 individuals can do nothing but watch as everything they know and trust crumbles around them.

Small-sport athletes deserve chance,too
On Sunday I got a phone call from one of my close friends. He told me that "today was one of the worst days of my life."
While the basketball and football team enjoy the limelight, new facilities and big budgets, teams with athletes who work just as hard and care just as much are today nonexistent at the University of Kansas.
After the men's swimming and tennis teams were cut Sunday, many athletes who have worked their whole lives to play Division I sports have been abandoned by the University.
The University said it was in debt. But how in debt is the Athletics Department? How do you attach a dollar value to a life of hard work and dedication?
I am not ignorant. I realize that football and basketball are more popular sports than tennis and swimming. I know that they bring in more money, too. But the athletes of "small-time sports" such as swimming and tennis love what they do and their school just as much as the football and basketball players do.
While listening to my friend on the phone, I wished Bob Frederick and his committee that made the decision to cut these two sports could have listened in, too.
To hear the sorrow and feel the pain of having something a friend of yours loved ripped away from them is hard.
I wonder if this really was the last resort. It seems hard to believe that a major university such as Kansas could not get funding for these programs.
In the end, you cannot attach dollar values to things such as hard work, dedication and love. After hearing my friends' and other swimmers' reaction to this, I know that shrewd and uncaring committee members concerned with the bottom line made a mistake.
I am unfit to fully relate the feelings of despair these athletes feel. I haven't worked my whole life for something, been granted a promise by a university to be allowed to pursue my athletic dreams there and then have those promises broken. But I can say that a huge mistake was made.
Maybe it's not too late to correct the mistake. If it is, the department should invite these athletes in and allow them to tell how they feel. Then maybe the department won't make this mistake in the future.

Total Fitness works out details after fire damage
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Total Fitness Athletic Center and Sixth Street Fitness management now have a more concrete plan for how Total Fitness members can keep working out, despite Monday morning's fire that heavily damaged the facility.
Scott Dougan, Total Fitness membership director, said management from the two facilities met yesterday.
"Sixth Street is going to offer our members a temporary membership with them," Dougan said.
He said Sixth Street Fitness, 2500 W. Sixth St., would offer a three-month membership to Total Fitness members, and management would evaluate in three months both how close to completion the renovations were and when Total Fitness would reopen its facility at 925 Iowa St.
"Obviously we hope most members come back to us, but we're just happy they have a place to work out, and that's a risk we're willing to take," Dougan said.
Dougan said Sixth Street Fitness would set a limit on the number of Total Fitness members who could purchase temporary memberships.
Dougan was not sure yesterday how long it would be before Total Fitness had a temporary facility open for its members. He said that would depend on the condition of the equipment inside the facility, and Total Fitness employees had not been allowed back inside yet to make damage assessments.
He said management was hoping to be able to assess the situation inside the building by the end of the week.
Firefighters estimated the fire caused $350,000 damage to the facility, said Bill Stark, battalion chief for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical. The cause remained under investigation yesterday. Stark said.
Joelle Pasquale, LaGrange, in, sophomore, said she normally worked out five to six days a week and was not sure what she was going to do to continue her workouts. She said she was disappointed at the rates Sixth Street had offered. She said she hated Robinson Center but might have to resort to working out there because of the cost of joining another club.
"I liked how Total Fitness wasn't crowded," Pasquale said. "There was always a machine available. I like to go and get my workout done."
Pasquale said she was concerned Sixth Street Fitness might be crowded while trying to accommodate its own members and Total Fitness members.
Brent Anderson, Sixth Street Fitness general manager, said that was one reason to set a cap on the number of Total Fitness members who could join.
"We wee it to our members who selected our club because of our environment." Anderson said. "When you pack it, it changes it. We won't pack it for money."
The temporary office for Total Fitness was opened in the Hillcrest shopping area yesterday, Dougan said. — Edified by Megan Phelps
Fraternity residents decreasing
More men choose to live off-campus
By Cynthia Malakasis
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Lower housing costs and more modern living facilities are some of the reasons why an increasing number of fraternity members have been choosing to live off campus rather than in their chapter houses in the last 10 years, said Chris Dakhil, Wichita senior and Interfraternity Council vice president for public relations.
Dakhl said that a decline in the number
of live-in members was the main reason why fraternity chapter houses had been closing down in the past few years. Figures from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning at the University of Kansas indicate a 37.1 percent decline in the number of men living in fraternity chapter houses from 1990 to 2000.
"If they don't have membership, if they don't have enough guys paying house bills, then they can't function," Dakhil said. "For some chapters, that's a big problem."
He said chapters were trying to increase the number of live-in members by upgrading their facilities and by explaining to potential members the benefits of living in the chapter house during the recruitment process.
Dakhlil said he thought that living in the chapter house made it easier for members
to participate in social events, such as community service. He also said they would be better off financially, since utilities and meals were already paid for as part of the overall cost of living there.
Right now, there are five fraternity chapters at the University that don't have living facilities. Dakhil said.
Alpha Kappa Lambda is one of the fraternities without a home. Kerry Tubbs, who was president last year, when the living facilities of the chapter closed down, said that a decline in the number of livein members was an important factor in lowering finances and bringing about the closing of the house.

Born to drum: Weinberg endures

Drummer survives through career's ups and downs
By Sarah Smash
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Max Weinberg went from playing the drums with Bruce Springsteen for a sea of fans to playing the drums for small crowds of adolescent boys at bar mitzvahs.
Weinberg, who found fame as the drummer for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, is now drummer and band leader for the Max Weinberg Seven on NBC's Late Night With Conan O'Brien. Weinberg spoke on campus last night about the world of music and the perils of success.
Weinberg said he enjoyed his gig on Late Night, which is in its eight season, but that a long road of ups and downs preceded his success on television.
"Throughout my career, I had doubtful moments," Weinberg told the crowd.
Weinberg, 49, said he began as a "little kid drummer" who eventually played at bar mitzvahs and weddings with a number of bands. Then he answered a classified ad — and ended up as Bruce Springsteen's drummer, playing before tens of thousands of people in sold-out arenas in the 1980s.
Weinberg said the onslaught of attention "dazed" him as he hit the party circuit and carried the nickname "Mighty Max."
"It wasn't hype to me," Weinberg said, shaking his head. "It was well-deserved adulation."
But after 15 years and sales of more than 50 million records with the band, Weinberg received a call from Springsteen, who thanked him for his dedication — and then broke up the band.
"I didn't want to continually be competing with "Mighty Max," he said. But Weinberg said fate brought him back to his true form, the drums.
In 1992, the manager of the band 10.000 Maniacs called Weinberg to fill in during a promotional tour. Soon after, Weinberg performed with President Clinton at his inauguration gala. For Weinberg, the beat was returning.
"I finally thought, maybe I was put here to play the drums," he said.
Weinberg said he struggled to break back into the business, once again playing at bar mitzvahs and finally setting for a position as the second alternate substitute drummer for a Broadway show.
Despite the pay cut from his days with Springsteen — "85 dollars a night, and you had to pay for your own parking" — Weinberg felt renewed.
"I'd buried drumming so far into my psyche," he said. "I felt I'd resurrected it."
Then in 1993, Weinberg ran into O'Brien on a corner in New York City and inquired about his plans for the new show's band, which led to the band leader position. Weinberg had found success again.
"I grabbed the brass ring twice," Weinberg said.
He recommended that students with big dreams not lose sight of their ambitions.
"If you remain true to what you believe is right for yourself, you can catch up to a dream," Weinberg said. "Whatever I do, my heart is that of a drummer."
Weinberg answered questions from the audience after his speech.
Weinberg can be seen Saturday, April 7 on HBO, when the network will air a two-hour presentation of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's final concert.

Student says vote crucial in city elections, registration a must
By Erin Adamson
Kansan staff writer
Students have a high stake in city elections this year and should register to vote for three new City Commissioners, said Jessica Bankston, Albuquerque, N.M., tumor.
Bankston, legislative director of Student Legislative Awareness Board, said that the current city commissioners had directly affected students' lives by passing the new housing ordinance with the three-person limit on unrelated people who can live together in single-family neighborhoods and that students needed to register and vote to voice their dissatisfaction with the ordinances.
As the Monday, March 19, registration deadline to vote in the Tuesday, April 3, general city elections approaches, students need to learn how to register in Douglas County, she said.
But confusion about the requirements to register to vote here and the move of a polling site from Allen Fieldhouse to the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Crescent Road, could keep some students from casting their ballots.
Students can register electronically by going to the Student Senate's Web site, www.ukans.edu/~senate, then going to the Student Legislative Awareness Board's link and filling out an electronic registration form.
Once a resident is registered to vote in Douglas County, the resident is registered forever and doesn't need to re-register for each election, unless the person moves or changes names.
Bankston said SLAB was aiming to make sure more students were registered to vote in the general election.
Douglas County's Web site, www.douglas-county.com, also provides a voting registration form that students can download, print and mail.
In addition to registering electronically or
through the mail, students can register at two sites on campus: the Student Senate office in the Kansas Union and the Baehr Audio-Reader Center, 1120 W. 11th St., northwest of Memorial Stadium.
Bankston said that SLAB tried to reach out to more students during last fall's presidential election by providing drop boxes in locations on campus for students to register. She said she planned to put up drop boxes as part of the current registration drive again this month before the registration deadline.
One factor that could have kept students from voting in the primary election last Tuesday was that the county moved the on-campus polling site for students living on Daisy Hill and in Jayhawk Towers from Allen Fieldhouse to the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center.
Bankston said that the polling site change wasn't well publicized. She said SLAB worked with Douglas County to register students to vote at Allen Fieldhouse before the presidential elections and hadn't been informed of the change in campus polluting sites.
Do Jaqlalet, county clerk, said a legal notice was published in the Laurence Journal World to announce the change and letters were mailed to all registered voters on Daisy Hill and Jayhawker Towers who were affected by the change.
Dalquest said the change wasn't new.
"We usually do this on city and school board elections," Dalquest said. "Historically, not enough people have turned out to pay three employees all day."
The general city election will narrow the six City Commission candidates to three winners.
Dalquest said that even when there had been students running for city office in the past, students didn't turned out to vote.
The six candidates are Sue Hack, Marty Kennedy, Erv Hodges, David Dunfield, Scott Bailey and Adam Mansfield.

Assistant professor wins fellowship award

"I want to find out what kinds of communication behaviors people use in online environments to seem real and the ways people perceive them as real," Russo said.
Russo said she planned to use the fellowship to study the ways personal presence was communicated on the Internet.
Russo said the research was important to improving the use of the Internet in education.
The Pew scholars will primarily work independently but will meet at two 10-day sessions to present and discuss research.

Southwestern Bell to offer long distance
TOPEKA — Southwestern Bell, already the dominant local telephone service provider in Kansas, plans to jump into the state's long-distance market today.
Southwestern Bell's plans led long-distance competitor AT&T to announce it would offer its best customers 30 free minutes of long-distance calls within the United States if they remained loyal.
AT&T and other Southwestern Bell rivals also planned to go to court in hopes of knocking Southwestern Bell out of the long-distance market.
S six weeks ago, the Federal Communications Commission gave Southwestern Bell permission to sell long-distance service to consumers in Kansas and Oklahoma, where service also starts today. The FCC acted under a 1996 federal law intended to end the separation between local and long-distance service providers.

School shooting suspect talked about his plans
SANTEE, Calif. — The "angry young man" accused of killing two fellow students fired randomly and still had eight bullets in his gun when police corroded him in a school bathroom, investigators said yesterday.
Friends said the freshman accused in the nation's latest high school bloodbath talked about his plans during the weekend, and they took him seriously enough to pat him down before classes started Monday.
One adult even warned Charles Andrew "Andy" Williams not to commit "a Columbine," and tried to call the boy's father but didn't follow through. But no one is known to have reported the threats that preceded Monday's attack that also wounded 13 at Santana High.

Cheney's heart recovers but is not home free
WASHINGTON — Dick Cheney, in his second public bout with heart disease in four months, underwent surgery Monday his doctor called urgent. But he walked out of the hospital a day later and can return to work this week.
But that doesn't mean Cheney is home free. He's got a 40 percent chance of this same artery reclogging. Plus, after four previous heart attacks that moderately damaged his heart muscle, cardiologists said he was at higher risk than the average 60-year-old of suffering other cardiac problems.
Heart experts say Cheney will need close monitoring for a while, especially if he plans any overseas trips. And if this problem artery reclogs, it may be time for newer options like inside-the-artery radiation.

The indictment alleged that Lozano secretly copied more than 120 pages of debate preparation documents and a 60-minute videotape of a debate preparation session with Bush and his advisers and sent it to the Gore campaign under a different name.
She lied to FBI agents investigating the matter and testified falsely before the grand jury, the indictment said.

Napster is fighting to stay online and retain its popularity while promising to shift over to a subscription-based service. For that, it depends on the cooperation of the very music labels that sued the company to stop song swapping.
Napster, which has struggled with little success in the past few days to screen out some songs already identified by record labels, had no immediate
comment on the ruling.
In issuing an injunction she reworked on the order of an appeals court, U.S District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel said the record companies must notify Napster of the title of the song, the name of the artist and the name of the Napster file containing the infringing material.
"What it does is give the record labels a great deal of power over exactly what songs are going to show up on Napster," said Eric Scheirer, an analyst with Forrester Research

Construction disrupts classrooms
Noisy renovations disturb teaching in Military Science
By Rachel Moluf Special to the Kansan
Noise from construction is interfering with classes in the Military Science Building.
For some, such as Samuel Evan Kreider, graduate teaching assistant for Humanities and Western Civilization, the construction is interfering with teaching.
Contractors removed all the doors to classrooms on the first floor, which are used for both general and military science classes, as part of the renovations to the building.
Kreider said that another time, the noise was so bad that he let his class leave early.
"Last week, I was literally shouting during one class," Kreider said. "I excused myself from class for a few minutes to go talk to one of the workers. I asked how long he would be working and explained that we couldn't hear. He said he was almost done, and a few minutes later, the pounding stopped."
"I know it isn't (the contractors') fault that sound carries through and they have work to do," he said. "But it's impossible to run discussions when we can't even hear ourselves speak."
Kreider said he didn't know why the contractors took off the doors and then left them off while they did other work.
if I had a door, it would be nice — then I could close it," he said. Cmdr. Jeffrey H. Richards, executive officer of the Naval ROTC unit, said that as a Navy officer, he was used to working through the noise.
"The only real effect is we've moved some of the primary classes we held on the ground floor to the basement," Richards said. "But we did have a meeting the other day, and we had to ask them to stop pounding for 15 minutes."
Dave Nobles, Leesville, La., sophomore, said he would like to know why the construction couldn't wait until the summer.
"When you try to sit in class, there's a lot of banging around." Nobles said. "It's really hard to concentrate."
Nobles said the noise was so bad that his history class moved from the ground floor of the Military Science Building to Wescoc Hall.
"I don't even know why they're doing it," Nobles said. "It didn't seem like there was anything wrong."
Don Whipple, project architect for Design and Construction Management, said the construction would make the building meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The act required lever handles on bathroom doors, two-level water fountains and doors wide enough for a wheelchair to fit through.
"We'll end up with one floor (in the Military Science Building) that's available for general use and is handicapped accessible," Whipple said.
"Construction companies have to be insured specifically for each project and get bonded before starting work." Whipple said. "Normally, that takes 60 days, but it can take three times that long, and this one did. Rather than wait even longer (when the paperwork came through), we went ahead and started construction."
He said the project was not originally scheduled to start during the semester.
Whipple said Design and Construction Management had a policy to help decrease noise levels while classes were in session.
"The contractors have agreed that if they're too noisy in one area, they'll move to another area to work," he said. "They have also been working at night to help fight the noise problem."
Whippe said the renovations to the Military Science Building were also the last of the major crumbling classroom projects.
The state allocated $163 million to be divided among the six Regents universities for the crumbling classroom project in 1996. That money was to be spent by December 2001, said Bud Stallworth, assistant director for Design and Construction Management.
Stallworth said some crumbling classroom projects included the Murphy Hall addition, the renovations to Joseph R. Pearson Hall and upgrading the mechanical and electrical systems in Strong Hall.
"We prioritized the number of projects we thought we could do, based on need." Stallworth said. "The Military Science project was one of the last we bid due to complexities, even though it was one of the top priorities."
Jeff Reed, Kansas City, Mo., senior and Battalion executive officer of the Naval ROTC, said it was about time the Military Science Building had some renovations.
"This is the oldest building on campus and one of the only ones that's not handicapped accessible," Reed said. "The construction is a little disruptive, but it's a necessary trade-off."
The renovations are tentatively scheduled to be completed Wednesday, May 23.
Asian American Student Union

Panel explores heritage, identity
Students discuss cuisine, cultural misunderstandings
Charu Narula has lost count how many times people have asked her if she worshiped rats.

The Leawood senior has had to endure this and other stereotypes while growing up in the United States.
She and three other students of Asian descent talked frankly about their personal heritage and the noticeable absence of Asian-American history in U.S. education last night at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Fifty people attended the second installment of the Multicultural Resource Center's diversity dialogue series, entitled "Missing In History: Excavating the Asian-American Experience."
Narula was born in Ohio, and she said she has encountered numerous people who were shocked that she was a U.S. citizen.
"They were expecting that I was born outside of the country because of the way I look," she said.
At times, its even been hard for her to be accepted by Indian cul
ture or American culture because she said she's a little bit of both. Sometimes people were curious why she was a member of the Asian American Student Union.
Panel member Jerry Wang, Atlanta senior, moved from Taiwan with his parents to the United States when he was 5 years old. They opened a restaurant, and Wang opened it was hard for him to talk with his parents about his heritage.
"A lot of people don't even consider me Asian," said Narula.
The only time he got a taste of Asian culture while growing up, he said, was when he attended family funerals and witnessed the Taiwanese rituals.
"I never realized I was Asian," he said.
Tiffany Lopez, Minneapolis sophomore, said her parents moved to Kansas as a way "to better their lives." It was for that reason that they didn't talk very much about the culture they had left.
One theme that ran constant through each of the panel members' memories was the role food played, and still plays, in their households.
Dialogue moderator Bill Tsutsui, associate professor of history, said food was an inescapable part of culture.
Wang said his mother would usually cook meals that "stunk." He said he enjoyed the traditional
cuisines, but sometime his feelings were hurt when his friends would come over and ask, "What's that smell?"
Panel member Hubert Chen, who's lived in Kansas since 1991, said that from his experiences, people in this state were usually open to trying new things, including food. The Overland Park graduate student's friends would try anything he gave them.
"It doesn't matter how bad it smells," he joked.
"We always see America as some wonderful place," Chen said, referring to the images portrayed by Hollywood. Chen felt that Asians who migrated to the United States tended to want a better life here, and, therefore, were more likely to downplay their heritage.
The panel members then discussed why Asian-American history wasn't well-understood in this country and the stereotypes that correspond with that misunderstanding.
Although Wang said Asians assimilated into U.S. culture more easily than other minority groups, he said Asian-Americans as a whole were beginning to want more power.
Tsutsui said the dialogue was a good way to promote awareness of Asian-American history.
"History isn't just what you learn in a classroom," he said. "It's very much a personal experience."

Revised housing ordinance still questioned
By Cynthia Malakasis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Jeff Gearst is thankful that he and his two roommates are no longer affected by the housing ordinance now that it has been redrafted, but he still finds a number of weaknesses with it.
The Lawrence City Commission had originally drafted a housing ordinance changing the number of unrelated people who may live together in areas zoned for single families from four to two. After strong public reaction, the City Commission redrafted the ordinance and changed the number to three.
"It's going to increase rent," said Gourts, Oklahoma City junior. "Landlords will have to register, and registration fees will pass on to residents."
Geurts said he thought landlords would also suffer from the ordinance.
"It's against the laws to ask one of the potential tenants if they're married," said Geurts. "Landlords are damned if they do, and they're damned if they don't."
Michele Kessler, associate director for Legal Services for Students at the University of Kansas, explained that the controversy for the landlords lay not in asking about the marital or relationship status of potential tenants, but in the way they're planning to use that information.
"The issue would be whether they can use it against them," Kessler said.
"They can ask, but they can't use it in a discriminatory way," Kessler said.
Like Geurts, other students around Lawrence feel relieved that the redrafted ordinance is no longer threatening their own housing arrangements, but still disagree with its general spirit.
"It's completely unfair that the city tells people where to live," said Erika Zimmerman, Dodge City senior and Geurts' roommate.
Zimmerman also said she considered the decreased number of available residences for students one of the major down sides of the ordinance.
"Housing is hard to find here anyway," she said.
Jeff Whittier, Prairie Village senior,
escapes the effects of the ordinance because his brother is one of his three roommates, so while four people live in the house, the number of unrelated people does not exceed three.
But Whittier still feels the ordinance raises issues of discrimination
"It discriminates based on age because we happen to be students and don't have families," he said. "You may also get discrimination based on race or sexual orientation if the neighbors don't like you."
Whittier said he did not think the ordinance would really make a difference to the lives of families.
"Neighborhoods have had students for such a long time, they're used to it." Whittier said.
Supporters of the ordinance, however, argue that its purpose is not to attack students but rather to strengthen residential areas that have lost their neighborhood-like character.
Jo Anderson Abbott, chair of the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods, said that a gradual increase in the student population led to the deterioration of some traditional family neighborhoods and to certain schools closing down.
Abbott believes that even though the switch to three unrelated people is a good compromise, students are not necessarily the problem.
"For the most part, students are responsible tenants," Abbott said. "I think landlord registration is a better idea. The problem is when you have landlords not willing to take responsibility for their properties."
"They're discounting students as part of the community." Haas said.
The ordinance has also attracted the attention of students who were never subject to any of its effects.
Brecca Haas, Denver freshman and Watkins Scholarship Hall resident, said she was strongly against the ordinance.
part of the Community. Haas said.
Haas said she thought the ordinance was proposed because students were not really represented in city government.

Fraternity members opt to live outside houses
Topeka senior said.
Most fraternity houses require sophomores and juniors to live in the chapter house but allow seniors the choice of living off-campus.
Bob Torongo, Naperville, Ill., senior and member of Sigma Nu fraternity, said he chose to move out of his chapter house in order to improve his living conditions.
Torongo said he wanted to have his own room, cook for himself and be able to have a cleaner living environment.
"The house tends to be pretty dirty." he said.
Even though the number of women who live in sorority houses is facing a decline of 21.3 percent since 1990, no houses have closed down.
Hillary Dunn, Dallas junior and Panhellenic vice president for public relations, said that the problem was not as acute for sorority chapter houses.
"Girls are more inclined to live with members of their house than guys," Dunn said.
The bleak facts, however, do not seem to discourage Lohy Dole or any
of the members of the new Pi Kappa Phi chapter, who are considering getting their own house.
Dohl, Silver Grove senior, said the members did not yet have a house because their chapter was just established at the University last year, but the members were excited with the prospect of getting their own house in the future.
"I think we have a lot of people that would want to move in," he said. "I don't know how long that would last."

Point/Counterpoint
Smoking in residence halls
Our view: Enforcing a ban on smoking is an unfair punishment and could worsen a trend of empty rooms
Dissenting view: Fire hazards, annoyances caused by smokers warrants a total ban in student housing
A recent proposal by the Kansas House of Representatives would ban smoking in all residence halls at
Regents universities. Some lawmakers have cited health and safety concerns as the reason for the bill. Although students who smoke may be an annoyance, banning smoking entirely is a solution that overreaches the problem.
Smoking is legal for anyone older than 18. A majority of people who live in University residence halls also happen to be at least 18. Residence halls become students' homes for the duration of the time that they live there, and they should have a right to engage in a legal activity in their home if they wish to do so.
Smoking, even if it is a bad decision, is one that should be left up to the students themselves. Banning it entirely could encourage more students to seek off-campus housing in an effort to find a less-restricted and more adult environment. Some residence halls already have empty rooms, and this law would further erode the number of students who want to live there.
Living in the residence halls provides many students with their first experience of life away from home. This experience, among other things, should encourage them to grow up and take responsibility for their own actions and circumstances.
In Hashinger, Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin, McCollum and Oliver halls, students can request a nonsmoking floor and a roommate who does not smoke. Even on smoking floors, residents can smoke only in private rooms with the doors closed.
They may choose to live in a section of student housing that does not allow smoking. Lewis, Templin and Ellsworth halls are all now smoke-free.
If nonsmoking students do not take advantage of these options to insure that they are not affected by secondhand smoke, it is not the job of the state to solve their problems for them. Nonsmoking residents also have the right to speak up and request that their
smoking roommate not smoke in the room.

what are you doing?
Student Housing already has a policy to help smokers and non-smokers get along. And when the Legislature
banned smoking in all state buildings in 1995, it created an exception for university residence halls, recognizing that students' lifestyles already are restricted and cramped enough in student housing.
Moreover, only 7 percent of students applying for housing in fall 1999 said they were smokers. Surely, reserving spaces to accommodate that small number of students isn't too much to ask.
The existing residence hall policy toward smoking is reasonable and could be effective. If nonsmoking students make a smoke-free living environment their top priority and take advantage of the options available to them, then they should be satisfied.
Lawmakers should not let the bill pass. And housing should make certain to honor the requests of nonsmoking students and should also strictly enforce current smoking policies.

Kate Williams for the editorial board
The debate about banning smoking in student housing boils down to an issue of convenience for smokers vs. the safety of the residents. As in most cases like this, safety wins.
The Kansas House of Representatives is considering a bill that would for bid smoking in all residence halls at Regents institutions. Smoking in most state owned buildings was banned in 1995, but student housing was an exceptin that law. Under the

In others, smoking is allowed in students' rooms on certain floors, with roommates' permission. Of all the reasons to support a ban in all residence halls, the fire hazard posed by smoking weighs the heaviest.

safety concerns
The Department of Student Housing bans other potential fire hazards, such as candles and incense. Why do cigarettes deserve special protection?
Gale Haag, Kansas state fire marshal, recognizes the danger and has pushed for a ban.
"It is unrealistic to allow students to smoke in their residence hall rooms," Haag said in a Kansan story last fall. "That needs to stop."
But the fire hazard is not the only reason to support a ban. Students who live in residence halls have overwhelmingly expressed concern about secondhand smoke and a desire to live in a smoke-free environment.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, has said previously that the department receives more complaints about smoking than anything else. And 72 percent of students applying for housing in Fall 1999 said they wanted a smoke-free environment, while only 7 percent said they were smokers.
Although housing tries to separate smokers from nonsmokers, smoke creeps past walls and doors, especially when ventilation systems for different rooms are connected. Students frequently complain about the smokers next door.
Stoner says that the department isn't taking a strong position on the bill but that he thinks a ban is inevitable.
"That what's going to happen — if not this year, then next year or the year after that," he said.
Clay McCuistion /KANSAN
Kansas State University and several states have recently enacted bans, he said.
Now it's Kansas' turn. Nonsmoking residents can't control whether the people in the room next door decide to smoke or whether a carelessly discarded cigarette sparks a fire.
The state has an obligation to take reasonable measures to protect the safety and health of students living on its property. Banning smoking is one such measure.

Perspective
Gas companies will take you for an expensive ride
Every morning I face a bitter reality. That reality comes in the form of icicles hanging from tree limbs and wires, glistening ice on the sidewalk, snow blanketing the yard as I peer out of my bedroom window.
That reality comes in the form of the news anchor on the TV announcing that Punxatawnie Phil saw his shadow, declaring six more weeks of winter. It comes in the form of the frigid winds that sting my bare flesh as I open the door to the world — the door that I rapidly shut to minimize the draft entering the house that I am exiting

sheetes of snow blanketing all that the eye could see,all the possible fun and adventures that the winter weather and its gently falling product could hold?
The winter wind that brought snowflakes fluttering down to the earth. The icicles that my siblings and I used to break off and lick from the sheets of ice they hang from. The glistening ice that we would ice skate on with our sneakers. The snow we made men and forts from. The groundhog my classmates and I used to celebrate, watching as he emerged from his hole to forecast the weather of the next six weeks.
Now all of these winter jewels of childhood enchantment are adulthood nightmares, as they become icons of the gas companies. Sounds scary, doesn't it? Never before did I, nor could I, believe that such delightful symbols of winter weather could possibly be vile, threatening apparitions.
But nevertheless, all represent the rocketing cost of heating our homes. And as the rodent that America puts so much faith in appeared on TV, toting the heart-wrenching shadow behind, all I could do was clutch my heating bill to my chest and cry, "No, please no!"
Well, maybe my reaction was not quite so dramatic. But I did feel a somewhat large tinge of hatred toward that fuzzy, over-publicized, large-toothed rodent.
Part of that is because of my new status in the world. As a college student, I am learning the virtues of living on my own. Therefore, I am also learning the virtues of paying rent and bills. Not only are there phone, electric, cable, water and utility bills — above all, there is the gas bill.
Literally, above all — as I could add all the others together and still have a sum less than that of the gas bill. Although this has caused me to gain a newfound respect for my parents, I have also gained a certain desperation for money.
Some unfamiliar to my situation would offer suggestions.
Thus, for college students paying their gas bills, winter wonderland has become the official theme park of the gas companies — the theme park that takes you for one of the most expensive roller-coaster rides of your life.
These are all things that I need and things that a majority of University of Kansas students need. Few can foot the bill caused by the gas-rate hike.

Hey, I think it's funny how the KU football players are busy molesting girls outside the Yacht Club and then we had to cut the swim team, which are nice boys, and they enjoy a good academic success and are good representatives of our University.
I think if the Athletics Department wants to cut costs and fix the budget a little bit, maybe they should axe the football program.
I think it's ridiculous to say that the football team is the reason why the swim team and tennis team got cut because if the swimmers or tennis players would make money in their sports, they wouldn't be cut.

At 5 p.m. Sunday, the members of the Kansas men's tennis and swimming and diving teams were informed that they no longer have a program. As a member of the swimming program, this came as a bit of a shock, to put it lightly.
Through the confusion, I found myself trying to decipher the reasons behind this decision. The primary issue that continued to pop up in my head was economics. As the Athletics Department struggles with a tightening budget, someone must bear the burden. The result: two non-revenue sports are eliminated.
These sports do not yield much of a financial return; they depend on basketball, as all the sports do, including football, whose skyboxes have been highly unsuccessful. The elimination of these programs should not have been the solution.
There are many unnecessary expenses that could be cut to preserve these programs. The swim team takes an annual training trip to Florida, and when the tickets selected for this and other trips run about $300, it is obvious that there is room for improved spending. The tennis courts outside Robinson are being renovated. Does it make sense to invest more money into a program that has been reduced by half? (The women's tennis team is still in existence, thanks in part to Title IX.)
In a press release by the Athletics Department, Bob Fredrick mentions "salary issues." Perhaps we should take a look at the ludicrous amount some coaches are paid.
Because of poor financial planning, 50 athletes have been set adrift with the single stroke of a pen. Two good programs have been eliminated, and 50 people can do nothing but watch as everything they know and trust crumbs around them.

Student senators work hard
Although Robert Chamberlain's column "Silly campaign tactics merit reforming Senate," Monday) illustrates some important points about Student Senate and elections, I believe he is mistaken in claiming "Student Senate is a repository of folks for whom being a student senator is its own justification." Too many senators have worked tirelessly on important issues. There are people involved in Senate who do not work very hard on anything in particular, but many have worked on a variety of issues that affect a lot of students. They have received little recognition, nor do they seek it.
Senate helped get Fall Break, the citywide bus system and the Hilltop Child Development Center. It also has a student on the board that oversees the Coke contract and runs the KU bus system and the Center for Community Outreach. Senate distributes money, through the work of some good senators, to great student organizations and events. I do believe Senate needs massive reform — but reform that makes Senate more responsive and better at tackling student issues without destroying the good things Senate does.

Senate column misses point Sympathy for killer is wrong
Every spring, some witty Kansan columnist comes up with a novel idea for a column: making fun of Student Senate and those who choose to run for it. This year, Kansan readers were treated to Robert Chamberlain's cynical comments about Student Senate and the VOICE and Delta Force coalitions.
Chamberlain even goes so far as to suggest, quite idiotically, that control of student fee money should be given to the chancellor's office in order to avoid "27 hour" Senate meetings. I don't believe Chamberlain has any idea what Student Senate does. Let's pretend for a minute that he is right and that Senate ought to be abolished. Does Senate actually do anything that would be missed? Well, there's the KU on Wheels bus system, which is the only student-run bus system in the nation. And how about the Center for Community Outreach, an arm of Student Senate that helps thousands of students participate in community service each year? Or the Student Legislative Awareness Board, which registered 2,000 students to vote this fall?
The list of what Senate has done for this campus is long; the creation and funding of the Legal Services for Students program, a new recreation center, the new Fall Break (which takes effect this fall), the Hilltop Child Care center, the free newspaper program that begins next fall and campus recycling. If we did as Chamberlain suggests and delegated Senate's functions to the chancellor's office, does anybody think that any of these initiatives would have been accomplished?
And although I'm not running for a Senate seat this year, I have run twice before, and I find personally insulting Chamberlain's contention that all students running for Senate are interested only in resume padding. Students running for Senate invest countless hours of their time during the campaign and, if elected, many more hours working on behalf of students.
Candidates for Senate, regardless of whether they are running with the Delta Force or VOICE coalition, have a vision of how to improve KU and are doing the University community a service by taking part in the political process. Those who expend the time and effort to campaign for Student Senate deserve to be commended, not condemned.
J. D. Jenkins Shawnee senior Liberal arts and sciences student senator
Last Thursday, the Kansan published an article that I found deeply troubling. The article ("Capital cases rare in Kansas") focused on the death sentence given to Gary Kleypas for murdering Carrie Williams, a student from Pittsburg State, in 1996. The article, instead of focusing on the brutality of the crime that was committed, sought to portray a sense of sympathy for Kleypas. I find this particularly disturbing.
I have family in southeastern Kansas, many of whom knew Carrie Williams and her family personally. I can be the first to attest that this murder struck fear into an entire community. It certainly brought to the forefront of discussion the value of life and the vulnerability of us all.
When Gary Kleypas was convicted a sigh of relief went out through the community. Never would I have imagined that only four years later, there would be cries for mercy for this dispicable man.
I have no opinion on capital punishment. I believe it serves a useful purpose, and yet it has its flaws. The arguments for and against it are as old as the hills. Nonetheless, I believe that Amnesty International and other anti-capital punishment groups are barking up the wrong tree on this case. Until they have walked a thousand miles in the shoes of families and friends of the victims of a crime, they cannot begin to understand the gravity of the situation and the debate in which they partake.

Parking garage payments on schedule
Money remains for expansion
By Amanda Beglin writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Although the parking garage next to the Kansas Union has been filled to capacity only once since its opening in August, the parking department is on schedule to pay off the construction bonds used to build the garage.
Don Kearns, director of the parking department, said the department planned to finish paying off the garage, which cost $7,522,000 to build, within four to five years.
The garage provides 818 parking spaces for students, faculty and University visitors to use.
Kearns said the parking department budget was tricky to manage, but the Union parking garage was not a direct strain on the department's checkbook.
Despite low usage, payments for the 818-car capacity parking garage north of the Kansas Union are on schedule. Students have cited the hassle of pre-payment and high hourly rate as reasons for not using the garage. Photo by J.E. Wilson/KANSAN
"We have an $11 million bond for
"the parking garage that we have to
pav off in 15 years." Kearns said.
pay off in 15 years," Kearns said.
The remaining $3,478,000 is set aside for future expansion of the garage.
PARKING LOT
"We get our revenue for the garage from tolls, fines and events." Kearns said. "We have no flexibility to call the Chancellor and say 'Hey, we need more money.'"
Some students and faculty said they were pleased with the garage only because it freed parking spaces elsewhere on campus. After the garage opened, meters were removed from 400 spaces in nearby lots and given to students and staff.
Sarah Trulove, professor of Western Civilization, said she did not park in the Union garage but had little trouble finding a parking spot in the mornings.
"I can definitely say it's easier to park on campus now," Trulove said. "Even the parking lot behind Blake, where I had trouble parking in the past, has open spots now."
Kara Cowles, Weskan freshman,
said she didn't park in the garage
because it was a hassle — an expensive one.
"I don't park in the garage unless I'm going to see a movie at the Union," Cowles said. "Or sometimes I'll just park there for 15 or 20 minutes to go in the Union, and I won't pay. It's just a pain to do it."
Cowles said she thought the $1-
per-hour rate was "ridiculous"
and the $20 fine for overparking
even worse.
Kearns said even though campus parking permit prices would rise in the fall, the fine and per-hour rates would remain the same regardless of the welfare of garage payments.
Permit rates freeze for five years, then increase, as part of an agreement with Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Kearns said.
Kearns said based on the figures he'd seen since the garage's opening. University drivers were acquainted with the garage and were parking there more frequently.
"I can tell there been heavy usage this second semester."
Kearns said. "I'm surprised by how many people pay attention to the rules and nav the toll."
Kearns said the parking garage's environment intentionally differed from the garage near Allen Fieldhouse, which was gated.
"It's really an honor system."
Kearns said. "We didn't want to have gates. We figured we were so close to the museums, the alumni center and the Union that we didn't want to be intimidating.
"We wanted it to be like, 'Put your dollar in and go have fun.'"

Program to select pre-med summer interns
Students awaiting selective decision
By Summer Lewis Special to the Kansan
response
KU pre-medical students who have applied to the Primary Care Summer Mentor Program will finally know by the end of the week if they have been accepted.
The program, run through the University of Kansas School of Medicine, gives exposure to primary care medicine to medical school hopefuls. But the application did not contain a date that would inform applicants of when to expect a
response letter.
Applications were due on
specific dates so students have
waited for acceptance for
more than a month.
Brian Van Norman, KU medical school program manager, said notification letters to the more than 70 applicants to participate in the 2001 Summer Mentor Program should be mailed out March 7.
The program is desirable for pre-medical students because they are paired with Kansas primary care physicians for a six-week period of mentoring in the summer. Students are matched with physicians near, or in, their hometown
areas, Van Norman said.
Approximately 50 students are accepted to participate each summer. With more than 70 applicants, a committee considers the applications through a regional selection process. The process selects students according to their hometown regions because they are required to volunteer in or near their hometown.
Deanna Dakhil, Wichita senior, said the program was very selective because acceptance to the program was an advantage for students planning to apply to KU Medical School.
The participants spend 100 hours volunteering with physicians in clinical settings. The volunteer work encompasses community health opportunities, writing case summaries and working with various doctors.
"The program will
"The program will provide me with experience in the medical field."
Christina Schnose
Lawrence junior
Participants gain experience and knowledge that helps students make a career decision about medicine.
Paul Crosby, medical professions adviser, said participation in the program was an excellent opportunity to develop a well-informed passion for medicine.
Christina  Schnose,
Lawrence junior, applied to
the program this year. She
will apply to the KU Medical
School next year and said
she knew acceptance to the
program could make a difference.
"The program will provide me with experience in the medical field and great resources of knowledge, so that I can truly understand the inner workings of practicing medicine," she said.

State law denies same-sex partners medical benefits
By Cynthia Malakasis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas is not an academic institution that offers medical benefits or reduced tuition to same-sex partners of employees.
"Health insurance is provided by the state of Kansas, not KU, and they don't cover domestic partners." Faucher said.
Ola Faucher, director of the Office of Human Resources at the University, said part of the reason was as a state institution, the University had to abide by the legal standards set by the state of Kansas.
Faucher specified by "domestic partners" she not only referred to same-sex partners but unmarried couples in general.
Cindy Derritt, associate University registrar, said state laws were also the reason for same-sex partners of employees not receiving reduced tuition.
"Our tuition waivers are governed by state regulations and at this time they don't allow for any kind of reduction for same-sex partners or common law spouses," she said.
Stan Handshy, Erie junior and student senator for Queers and Allies, said he disagreed with the University's policy
"I find that very discouraging, but if they truly can't offer those benefits because they're a state school, I can't hold that against them," he said. "It highlights the need to convince our state legislature to pass a bill allowing for benefits to same-sex partners."
James Abraham, Lenexa senior, said he favored a policy allowing same-sex partners of employees to receive equal benefits.
"Most of those couples have the same love commitment," he said.
Aatie Womack, Overland Park junior, agreed. "Even though they're not legally recognized as a married couple, they're companions in the same sense as someone who cohabitates with the opposite sex," she said. "It's discriminatory not to allow benefits based on moral principles."
A growing number of private-sector companies, as well as some religious academic institutions nationwide, the latest of which is Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, are extending benefits to same-sex partners of employees.

KU students plant seed of discovery
By Karen Lucas
Kansan correspondent
Digging in the dirt with kids is one way Mark Bradshaw makes a difference in the local community.
The Walnut senior volunteers every week for GROW Garden Project, a program that teaches children about gardening and other related topics. Bradshaw helps coordinate the program, which has about 20 volunteers and is sponsored by the University's Center for Community Outreach.
"At the heart of it, we want to provide education about nature and nutrition to kids," Bradshaw said. "The kids get to do projects that they might not see in school."
The program's centerpiece is a garden that student volunteers help children maintain at the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, 1520 Haskell Ave. Bradshaw and Holly Worthen, McPherson Junior, got the idea for it after seeing community gardens during a weekend service-learning trip to Wichita in the fall of 1999.
"We wanted to bring that back to Lawrence," he said.
The following spring, Bradshaw and Worthen launched their gardening program.
VOLUNTEER
GROW's first-year garden was a success. Participants grew a variety of vegetables and flowers, including string beans, corn, carrots, nias.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
string beans, broccoli, tomatoes,
corn, carrots, marigolds and zinnias.
The garden was 100 percent organic. Bradshaw said it wasn't safe for children to work with pesticides nor did a small garden like their's need them.
The young gardeners became attached to their plants — making sure they all got proper care. In the process, they became fascinated with worms and developed a fondness for tomatoes.
"By August, they were eating them like apples," Bradshaw said.
Dionel Payne, Lawrence resident and Boys and Girls Club employee, said two of her daughters even brought home some of the garden's tomatoes and showed them to family members and friends.
Payne said she appreciated how the KU students made it possible for the children at the club to experience something new.
"I'm very glad that they're here
because most of the kids here don't have the opportunity to garden at home," she said.
Much of the program has dealt with gardening, but the children have taken part in other hands-on activities, including a field trip to the Baker Wetlands, a cookout, games and art projects. Nasty weather doesn't interfere because the program runs year round, outdoors as well as indoors. On one recent Tuesday afternoon at the club, a small group of children sat at a table in the art room and sketched pictures of different kinds of seeds that they viewed in magnifying boxes.
Jeff Severin, GROW co-coordinator and Robinson senior, said finding activities the participants would both learn from and enjoy posed a challenge.
"You can't just get up and lecture, especially to younger kids," he said. "You have to find something they can draw or play with."
Severin had nothing but praise for the volunteers. He said they offered ideas, enjoyed interacting with the children and showed a lot of dedication.
Katie Harpstrite, an Andover junior who has been volunteering for GROW on a regular basis this semester, said that she liked how the program gave volunteers the chance

Bradshaw said that GROW, which now serves about 40 children, was a good experience for both the children and the volunteers.

and attention. And we benefit from being with them," he said. "All our lives are enriched from having contact with the natural world."
"The kids benefit from our time
Although GROW is only about a year old, it already has made its mark — locally and nationally. In January, GROW received a Kids Gardening Community Spirit Award from the National Gardening Association.
"That was a nice pat on the back." Bradshaw said. "It just made us feel like we were doing something right." The association also gave GROW a Youth Garden Grant, which amounts to $750 in gardening supplies. So far the program has received seeds, plant trays and a bird feeder. Severin said the supplies were of excellent quality and were things the group would use.
With a grant and award under their belt, the coordinators and volunteers are looking to further enhance the program.
Bradshaw said he hoped for a bigger garden this year. GROW may also expand by offering programs at various elementary schools.
"I really hope it takes off," Severin said. "Because obviously we can reach a lot more of the Lawrence youth that way."

Students reach out to help the community
By Melissa Cooley Kansan correspondent
The students parrot lines from Wayne's World and laugh as they scrub dishes. But the woman standing among them does not laugh. Lines of exhaustion rim her eyes.
The students have spent the day serving hot meals to families of sick children at the Ronald McDonald House in Kansas City, Kan. For the woman, the students' laughter is more fulfilling than the lasagna. It is the first time all day that she has thought of something other than her son lying in a hospital bed at the University of Kansas Medical Center. As she listens to the students' carrying on, the lines of exhaustion break into a smile.
Smiles like those keep Palvih Bhana, Lawrence senior, interested in community service. As the president of the Student Alumni Association, she gets plenty of opportunities to stay involved. Although the organization was created to give undergraduate students a chance to interact with alumni, its members also find themselves interacting with the community.
Members plan at least one community service project a month. Just this year, the group has served dinner at the Ronald McDonald House, placed decorations on the doors at Brandon Woods Retirement Home, delivered flowers and Valentines to senior citizens, donated to Toys for Tots and raised money for United Way.
Andrea Troutman, vice president of outreach, plans the monthly service projects. For the month of March, Troutman said she was planning a project in which members would donate their time painting ceramic bowls. The bowls would then be sold on campus, and the proceeds would go to the Jubilee Cafe.
All of this service is done in addition to activities more traditionally associated with the organization, such as helping with the Rock Chalk Ball, a national merit fund-raiser, providing security for the Homecoming Parade, and celebrating the University's birthday. Nevertheless, it is the community service that leaves lasting impressions on members like Bhana and Troutman.
"Just to see the expressions on their faces. It makes it all worthwhile," Bhana said.
But sometimes, Bhana and other members of the organization do not to get to see the smiles. At Brandon Woods Retirement Home, for instance, the students hang decorations at night to be found when the residents wake up.
Judy Ruedlinger, resident life coordinator at Brandon Woods, said such acts of kindness were very meaningful to residents.
"It's so neat for them to open their door and find something the students have made." she said.
And it's meaningful to Troutman as well.
"It's the reason I joined SAA," she said. "It's provided me with a way to contribute to the community."

Youth Friends forms mentors

Many children have trouble adapting in their first days of school and need a friend, someone older who can ease fear and confusion.
That's where Youth Friends comes in, a grant-funded program for the Lawrence Partnership for Children and Youth that recruits volunteers from the community to mentor children in Lawrence public schools.
"Youth Friends was started in Kansas City in 1985 as a non-profit state and federal-funded organization," said Erin Enneking, program coordinator and Lawrence graduate student. "Now, Youth Friends is available in over 80 school districts in the Kansas City area. It's also been piloted in Michigan this year."
The Lawrence branch of Youth Friends was established in 1998 and, in nearly three years, has acquired 120 volunteers, 60 percent of them University students. The program is offered in 25 of the 26 Lawrence public schools.
"I heard about Youth Friends at summer orientation," said Samantha Mangino, Manhattan freshman. "I filled out a questionnaire and they sent me an application before school even started, and I've been volunteering since November."
Children in kindergarten through 12th grade can become involved with the program. In most cases, the school's counselor serves as a liaison between the student and the Youth Friends office to match students with volunteers. This helps the students become more attached to their mentor.
stomach aches as often. They really look forward to their meetings with the volunteers."
The coordinators at Youth Friends try to match children with volunteers who share their interests and skills.
"If there is a child struggling in math and we have a KU student majoring in math who wants to volunteer, we'll match them up." Anderson said.
The minimum time requirement for volunteering is one hour a week for eight weeks. The volunteers and their youth friends must meet on school grounds.
"When I first started going it was a little awkward," Mangino said. "After a while, though, they warm up to you. I would go during lunch, and we would read in the library or play on the computers. This semester I helped my youth friend with her homework more. We also do things like make Christmas cards or Valentine's Day cards."
Friends, volunteers must complete an application, submit three references, have an interview with the Youth Friends staff and complete a 90-minute training session. A background check is also conducted.
To get involved with Youth
"I would encourage people to find out what it's all about," Mangino said. "I think a lot of people associate community service with doing dirty work. Youth Friends is really fun, and it can be relaxing."
During orientations and at the beginning of each semester, Youth Friends advertises and conducts informational meetings, which Enneking said were successful in recruiting volunteers.
"Right now we're trying to make sure it keeps going," said Melvin Herrington, Youth Friends executive director. "We have a partnership with USD 497, so that helps out with funding. Once we're widely known as a successful mentoring program for kids, funding will be secure."

Careers hard to pinpoint for CLAS students
Sociology Club's fair to answer questions
By Julie Carter Special to the Kansan
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students will have an opportunity to solicit help from employers at the Sociology Club's career fair Tuesday, March 13.
Employers from Lawrence and the Kansas City area will be there to provide help with job placement at 7 p.m. at the Walnut Room in the Kansas
Union. The fair's focus will be placed on careers involving social welfare and sociology.
"There is not a lot of opportunity to figure out exactly what to do since they are such broad-based fields," said Alicia Reed, sociology club president and Great Bend senior. "I went to the Business School career fair, and it wasn't much help for liberal arts students."
Instead of holding a canned-food drive, like in previous years, the club decided a career fair would be something the students could benefit from.
Sociology department, Career Services, Graduate Services and Sprint are among some of the organizations that will attend.
Representatives from the
Students often have questions about what activities are helpful in getting the right job, how to get interviews and what employers want.
"We are hoping for information on internships, not just jobs," Reed said.
Shirley Hill, associate professor of sociology and graduate director, will be on hand to discuss graduate school. Issues on the benefits of attending gradu
ate school, how to apply and the various degrees offered will be addressed.
Career Services has helped in the past by placing the names of interested students on a listserv for employers to review and contact.
"Career placement has come in the past and done wonderfully with the students," said Mehrangiz Najafizadeh, associate professor of sociology and undergraduate director. "The whole notion of a career fair is nice because a lot of times students don't have ideas."

Center is popular hangout for city's underprivileged
By Eve Lamborn
Kansan correspondent
It's exactly 8:30 a.m. when a volunteer opens the door, letting in a rush of bright sunlight and frosty morning air. Despite the early hour, a small group of people have been waiting outside. They file into the Community Drop-In Center to sign in, and at least a dozen more join them within the next 10 minutes.
The Center, 214 W. 10th St., offers a relaxed atmosphere for low-income and homeless people. The center provides a multitude of services: laundry and breakfast, quiet rooms for reading and a place to hang out with friends.
"We do a little bit of everything," said Tami Clark, the center's only full-time staff member. "We try to help however we can."
The small foyer quickly fills with their voices as friends greet each other and chat.
One woman heads straight to the continental breakfast in the back room. Several others take advantage of the free laundry and shower facilities while they wait for boiled eggs — 4 dozen each day — to finish cooking.
Another man stops to say 'hi' before slipping into a quiet room for a nap. Clark promises a man named Albert she will save him a couple of boiled eggs while he also takes a nap. Some of the people who come in have just finished night shifts.
Back up front, a man named Steve jokes with a volunteer as he checks apartment listings in the newspaper.
"You meet great, really interesting people, from guests to volunteers," Clark said.
Clark said she expected to spend her morning helping a man obtain a picture ID so he could cash his paychecks. Recently, she spent her day
calling local churches to get money for a man who needed a bus ticket
Local social-service providers, such as the Douglas County AIDS Project and Women's Transitional Care Services, also come to the center weekly to provide on-site service.
Although the Drop-In Center has existed since 1995, it has only occupied its current building since September. The center used to operate out of existing institutions, which were usually church basements.
And since the center opened downtown, the number of people who visit and the amount of support it receives have increased.
"We've had a really good support system develop, just because of the location." Clark said.
She also said 30 to 40 people stopped by each day, attributing the increased traffic to the new location. Primary funding for the center comes from the City of Lawrence through the Community Development Block Grant. The grant covers the rent for the building and Clark's salary, but donations from the community cover the rest of the center's daily needs. For example, local grocery stores donate bread, fruit and eggs, and a church donated the washer and dryer.
About 15 volunteers also keep the center running, doing everything from cleaning and picking up food to sitting with anyone who wants to socialize.
Katy Elsenmenger, Fairmont,
Minn., junior, has been volunteering
at the center since last October, and
said her experience there had been
very interesting and rewarding.
"You get to know the homeless people and put names and faces to them and realize that they are real people," she said.

Elementary volunteering yields reciprocal benefits
After-school program offers student rewards
By Jennifer Hall
Kansan correspondent
KU sophomore Lindsay Gross is back in elementary school. She works directly with students in an afterschool program at Woodlawn Elementary.
As an instructor, Gross starts preparing at about 2:30 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon. The Seoul, South Korea, student makes snacks, organizes the daily projects and sets up the room.
The action begins when she picks up the children from their classrooms.
The group has a snack, then Gross leads the children in an academic activity or project that involves the community, arts and crafts, stories, recreation or something else hands-on. After a short recess, Gross prepares the children for their parents to pick them up.
"I call them 'my kids,'" she said.
"The they are the easiest part of my job.
The kids are completely honest and genuine with you. So much progress is shown."
Gross stumbled on her job at a job fair in the Kansas Union. A friend knew Gross enjoyed working with children and urged her to apply. Two months later, Gross was offered a position as an instructor.
Abby Payne, after-school coordinator for Woodlawn Elementary, supervises Gross' work and encouraged other college students to get involved with the program.
"Experience is a plus," she said. "We examine how they react and respond to problems. I also look at their personality and responsibility. Most important is their enthusiasm and passion for life. It's not just to watch the kids." Payne said, uniting elements.
Payne said uniting elementary school children with college students was a good combination.
"The kids teach me patience, consistency, organization and spontaneity," she said. "Every day is different. You must be prepared. I enjoy every aspect of my job. I would do it even if I wasn't being paid."
Gross said her job was preparing her for the future by teaching her responsibility through working closely with parents, children and supervisors.
Gross said her work also complemented her major in journalism. As a result of her experience with the program, she is thinking about working for children's magazine.
"Iam realizing that you can do more than just be a journalist," Gress said. "I am providing the kids with more individual time than they can get in the classroom. Here, their voice can be heard, not lost in the shuffle. This experience is extremely good for my resume, but I'm also giving to the community."
The job, although rewarding, also comes with difficulties. The children involved in the program often come from less fortunate families. Gross said the toughest part of her job was knowing that when the children went home, she couldn't help them anymore.
Payne praises the instructors for being so patient with the new program. Through lessons of trial and error, she
"I call them 'my kids.' They are the easiest part of my job.The kids are completely honest and genuine with you."

Lindsay Gross
Seoul, South Korea, sophomore
hopes to build a strong and rewarding program.
"It's not a daycare," Payne said. "Parents need to realize that it is a beneficial extension of the school day. We need to get parents involved and spread the word."
"My job is important because it caters to the communication needs of the students, parents and instructors," she said. "I help work with others to increase academic, social, and physical behavior."
Payne oversees the entire project, making sure the instructors have adequate training and resources. She also stays in close contact with the parents and students.
Gross believes in open communication with Payne. They work together to establish techniques that create a positive atmosphere for the kids.
"Lindsay is awesome," Payne said. "She is responsible, yet not afraid to suggest new things. She offers me great ideas. She is just sensational and understanding. The kids take to her so well."

BROOKLYN HILFIGER COLLEGE
Other sports lack pure emotion of March Madness
Ever since the turn of the month, I've had an extra skip in my step and a new song in my heart. Kansas fans join hands and sing it with me:
"It's the most wonderful time of the year, Sixty-four teams are playing And Dick Vitale's saying. That our time is here. It's the most wonderful time of the year"
OK, so maybe "Dicky V" isn't quite that high on the Jayhawks, but I thought it had a nice ring to it. Even if the big name analysts aren't picking the 'Hawks to win the tournament, there are still plenty of reasons to be singing for joy. The best time of the year is upon us, March Madness is finally here.
In the wide world of sports, no other season or event can hold a candle to the drama of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. I'm sure there are plenty of pigskin fanatics who will disagree and make their case for the Super Bowl, and maybe a few synchronized swimmers will speak up for the Olympics, but I stand firm in my resolution there is nothing like the road to the Final Four.
The end of January is always exciting, and the Super Bowl draws enormous numbers every year, but how many people do you see filling out their NFL playoff brackets or forming office pools in the weeks that lead up to the main event? It's not the game's outcome that has people talking the day after either, it's the latest Budweiser commercial.
So bust out your planners and Palm Pilots, let's run through the months and I'll show you why March is second to none.
Every April a week of golf at Augusta National is amazing but no matter how many par fours Tiger Woods drives, the Masters can't touch the excitement of March Madness.
I'm sure Mr. Ed fans just love the Kentucky Derby each May, but a year's worth of anticipation for two minutes around a track doesn't get me excited like nearly a month of basketball when every game could be your last.
To some the Indianapolis 500 is exhilarating every Memorial Day weekend and others get their kicks out of a summer's worth of the World Cup every four years, but how many of you fans can whistle its opening theme music, like most can with the CBS Basketball intro?
That's why March Madness is the most wonderful time of the year.
In June, the Stanley Cup Finals are definitely exciting and the NBA playoffs knock the socks off any regular season pro basketball game, but neither postseason offers the "one and done" consequences you find in the NCAA Tourney. It's do or die in the Big Dance and if Duke has an off night, they don't get six other games to make up for it.
Wimbledon offers a fortnight of fun on grass in late June and early July, but despite what the Duke, Duchess and a handful of tennis diehards will tell you, the appeal doesn't come close to college basketball.
Hanni is a Topeka junior in broadcasting.
Baseball buffs will argue the World Series is the best time, and I'll admit October wouldn't be the same without the boys of summer slugging it out to become baseball's best. But the recent predictability of baseball and the dominance of the same team every year have taken away from the mystique of cool fall nights at the ballpark.
No matter what the season, there's always something to look forward to in the sporting world, but there's nothing like the NCAA Tourney.
it's not to say college basketball doesn't have its own powerhouses that look good year-in and year-out, but it's all up for grabs come tournament time and Cinderella shows up for the Dance.
The college football postseason would be a lot more exciting if a playoff system for the top eight teams were created, but usually only two teams have a chance to win it all when Bowl Week gets going in late December. This makes all the other games less significant and merely billboards for big-name companies. Coming soon: The University Daily Kansan Rose Bowel.
'Hawks advance in tournament
Kansas 66, Oklahoma State 56
No.7 Oklahoma awaits Kansas in second round
By Jessie Meyer sports@kansan.com Kansan.com sportswriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For most teams, playing on the first day of the Big 12 Conference Tournament would be a challenge.
But the Kansas women's basketball team, which has endured an obstacle-filled season, thinks its ninth seed was a lucky charm.
The Jayhawks, who have never had to play a first-round game in the history of the Big 12, defeated Oklahoma State yesterday in Municipal Auditorium, 66-56. With the victory, Kansas advances to today's second-round game against top-seeded Oklahoma.
"We think it might be our good luck charm," senior center Jaclyn Johnson said of the seeding. "We got out the first game jitters and we won't be uptight. We'll be ready to play Oklahoma."
More than easing tournament nerves, the victory gave the
Kansas maintained a slight lead for much of the first half, holding Oklahoma State scoreless for about five and a half minutes. But the Cowgirls stayed close and were behind only two points at halftime.
Though the Cowgirls stayed close in the beginning, the game started to slip away early in the second half when the Cowgirls began to rack up personal fouls and turnovers. Oklahoma State guard Shelby Hutchens picked up three personal fouls in the first two and a half minutes of the second half, and Kansas began shooting the bonus at the 11:52 mark.
The three Kansas seniors — forward Brooke Reves, guard Jennifer Jackson and Johnson — led the way once again, scoring 49 of the Jayhawks' 66 points. And they did that playing with four fouls each for much of the second half.
Jayhawks a renewed confidence in their team and what they can accomplish.
"They've been the backbone of our club this year," Kansas coach Marian Washington said of the seniors. "I'm very proud of them."
"We don't expect anything less," Johnson said. "If we win this tournament it's not going to be a surprise for us."
The Jayhawks capitalized from the charity stripe, knocking down nine of

14 in the second half and 15-18 on the game.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma State struggled to get the ball to drop, shooting just 31.1 percent from the field and 26.3 percent from behind the three-point arc. In desperation to stay in the game, the Cowgirls began throwing up low-percentage shots and the Jayhawks pulled away with a 10-0 run late in the game.
The Jayhawks have gotten used to obstacles this season, and having to play in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament for the first time was just one of many.
With the team's lack of depth, coupled with the fact that Reves, Johnson and Jackson each played at least 32 minutes yesterday, fatigue could be a major factor against Oklahoma, the No. 7 team in the nation.
"There's nothing like having to face a fresh ballclub." Washington said. "Our game plan has got to be executed real well for us to stay in it for 40 minutes."

Gooden's competitive edge has improved his game and strengthened his skills
By Chris Wristen
It took little more than a simple shooting contest for Drew Gooden's competitive edge to shine through.
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The sophomore forward was dueling with sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich in a best-of-10 contest from behind the three-point arc on Monday in Allen Fieldhouse, and Gooden hung around for quite a while before Hinrich finally edged him out.
"He stepped to about the 'K' in Kansas on the court," Gooden said. "We were going the best out of 10 and he hit eight in a row. It took him a while to get me out but I tied him for the first two rounds.
"He said he was one of the leaders in three-point percentage because he's shooting 52 percent, but I told him I was because I was shooting 60 (percent) because I'm three-for-five."
Granted, Hinrich's attempted 89 more treys than Gooden, but that's irrelevant according to Kansas coach Roy Williams. Williams said the competition among the sophomore class, which also includes forward Nick Collison, was constant. Williams said the competitive attitude was what drove Gooden to blossom into a first-team All-Big 12 Conference selection.
"Last year I was on his case a lot during practice," Williams said. "This year his practice habits changed 175 degrees. To me, that is directly proportionate to what he's done in games; his better work habits, his better shot selection, his better work defensively are all things he has taken from practice every day into the games."
Williams told Gooden during the recruiting process he had the potential to be a great player if he was willing to let Williams teach him.
"I haven't had five players since I've been here who can be a 10, but Drew can be a 10," said Williams, who added former Kansas players Jacque Vaughn, Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce were 10s. "Right now Drew's a six or a seven, but Drew can be a 10. That's a heck of a burden for him, but he likes that, too. He likes the challenge of wanting to be one of the best. I'd like for Drew to be the best."
Gooden said he relished the challenge of becoming the best player he could possibly be. He wants to be better than one of Williams' former players when he was an assistant coach at North Carolina — the man recognized as the greatest to ever lace up a pair of high tops.
"People think Michael Jordan was the best, but I think that with my skills and the tools that I have, I think I could be better than Michael Jordan," Gooden said with a grin. "That's not being arrogant, but that's one of my individual goals in life. I think everybody should have a goal in life. That's a tough way to try to beat on Michael Jordan, but everything's possible."
He's now the leading rebounder (8.1 boards) and second-leading scored (15.8 points) for No. 9 Kansas (23-5, 12-4 Big 12 Conference), but Gooden admitted he still had a lot to learn. Regardless, he said he had figured out a few things during his first two seasons as a Jayhawk.
"I've learned how hard I need to make it at this level and another level," Gooden said. "I've also learned to compete. When I first got here, if I would lose a game I didn't take it to heart as much. Now, if I lose at anything I'm ticked off and it pushes me to go even harder. Now, when we lose, I just can't get over it until we win three games in a row."

Southwest Missouri State thumps Kansas baseball
Southwest Missouri State took advantage of a struggling Kansas bullpen, overcoming a 4-1 deficit and defeating the Jayhawks 11-4 in Springfield, Mo. yesterday.
The loss to Southwest Missouri State dropped Kansas to 7-7 and 1-5 in the Big 12 Conference. Kansas coach Bobby Randall said the Jayhawks played well for about half the game and then collapsed.
"We couldn't score after the fifth, and SMS took advantage," Randall said.
Kansas sprinted out to a 4-1 lead by scoring once in the second inning and three times in the fifth. Casey Spanish's RBI single and Brent Del Chiaro's RBI double keyed Kansas' early charge.
Jayhawk junior starter Jeff Davis held the Bears within arms' length in his first start of the season. Davis went four innings, giving up two runs on five hits and striking out four. But that was before the Jayhawk bullpen stepped in and Kansas' troubles began.
Senior Eric Thompson lasted only 1v of an inning and walked two hitters in the fifth. Freshman Chris Smart relieved
Thompson and gave up six runs in just 2 2/3 innings of work. With the score 6-4, senior Sam Gish started the eighth and only recorded two outs before being pulled in favor of junior Grant Williams. The Bears scored five insurance runs off Gish in the eighth before Williams got Kansas out of the inning.
Brent Del Chiaro, Doug Dreher,
and John Nelson each recorded
two hits to lead the Jayhawks.
Nelson's two hits extended his
hitting streak to nine games.
Kansas also turned a season-high
three double plays in the game.
Smart took the loss for Kansas, and Bears pitcher Jeff Gray won his first game of the season in relief. Gray dashed Kansas' comeback attempts by shutting the Jayhawks down over the final three innings and striking out six.
For Baylor, Ryan Howard finished the day going 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBI, and John Rheinecker added a double and a triple.
"It's still early on in the season, and we're going to get better," Randall said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 7). Fame and fortune can be yours, but there's work involved. Luckily, it's work you love. Focus on the job in March and rake in the money in April. Upgrade your skills in May. Spend on your home in June and snuggle there in July. It's back to work in August. Commit to a change in September. You're jet-propelled in December. Write down your daydreams in February, then find a way to sell them.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7. You're tempted to set your worries aside and go for the gold, but a couple of your worries are well-founded, especially the one that involves money.
Tourus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
A friend lets you in on an excellent deal, but don't get too carried away. Use your good judgment to minimize risks. Meanwhile, take care of an older person's needs, especially the one who pays the bills.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
You'd like to go, but you'd better stay, even if you're up against a difficult task. Once you get it done, you'll feel better in ways that you can't even imagine.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
There's so much money going back and forth, it may be hard to tell if you're winning or losing. Hold on to as much as you can. This is not a good day to give generously. Schedule that for Friday, instead.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
You're so cute, you may think you can get away
with anything. Your friends would like you to
believe that, and so would some of your enemies
Be entertaining on your own time, not the boss'.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
It looks like others are going to win the battle, but you have the edge. Use something you've learned from experience or just listen to an older person.
Don't get involved in an argument that has nothing to do with you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6.
Friends tell you what to do, but if it's going to cast you much, pass. Follow the advice of someone who's got your best interests at heart. If you can't get the job done as you've promised, call and let them know.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
You could be the lucky winner again. Your intuition is more accurate than the experts' opinions. Even a partner who's usually right could be wrong this time. Follow your hunch.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
A romantic adventure could be ill-timed and ill-financed. Plan now and save the spree for the weekend. It will be even more successful if the trip you've planned is for business.

LION
Capitron (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.

Intramural basketball back after cancellation
The intramural basketball tournament is back on track after last Tuesday's weather cancellation. The brackets are getting smaller each day, and the championship games start in less than a week.
Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, said the cancellation didn't cause major problems, just inconvenienced participants and staff.
"We felt it was in the best interest of everyone's safety," he said. "The decision kept about 250 players and intramural staff off the roads, not to mention spectators."
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
In other intramural news;
The NCAA Final Four selection contest opens for entries on Monday. Official brackets are to be released Sunday by the NCAA.

Super Bowl champs snare Grbac
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Ravens and free-agent quarterback Elvis Grbac agreed to a five-year, $30 million contract yesterday.
The deal includes an $11 million signing bonus, Grbac's agent, Jim Steiner, said from St. Louis.
Grbac will come to Baltimore tomorrow to sign the contract, take a physical and meet the media, said Ravens representative Bob Eller.
Steiner said the Ravens' Super Bowl championship last season was the determining factor for his client.
"Winning is the only thing on his agenda — playing in a Super Bowl and winning a Super Bowl." Steiner said.
The Ravens were the only team negotiating with the former Kansas City quarterback after Cincinnati dropped out of the bidding Monday.
Grbac, who threw for 28 touchdowns and 4,169 yards with the Chiefs last season, was one of two highly sought
free-agent quarterbacks, along with Brad Johnson.
Johnson signed a five-year,
$28 million deal with Tampa
Bay Monday.
Grbac initiated the talks with Baltimore by visiting the Ravens Friday and meeting with coach Brian Billick.
"He felt real good." Steiner said. "He had a great meeting with Brian Billick."
Grbac's signing means the Ravens will not keep Trent Dilfer, who won his final 11 starts with Baltimore, including a 34-7 Super Bowl victory against the New York Giants.
Dilfer could sign with the Bengals, who wound up with Baltimore cast-off Scott Mitchell as their starting quarterback last season.
Cincinnati indicated that Dilfer is among its choices for a quarterback to challenge Akili Smith. The other choices are Gus Frerotte and Jon Kitna.
Dilfer's agent, Michael Sullivan, did not return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment.

The Ravens' success last season came despite NFL's 16thranked offense and the 22ndranked passing attack.
The Ravens benched Banks during a five-game stretch when they did not score a touchdown and replaced him with Dilfer, who passed for 1,502 yards and 12 touchdowns with 11 interceptions.

Jayhawk Mascots
'Hawks of a feather stick together
By Agron Fulk
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
MIDLAND HIGH SCHOOL
For five KU students, a Jayhawk is more than a mythical bird — it is a hot, heavy, bulky and smelly excuse to dedicate hundreds of hours dancing around in front of thousands of Kansas fans, cheering teams and riling crowd spirits.
From left, Baby Jays: Jessica Butler, Albuquerque, N.M., sophomore; Eva Davis, Topeka junior; and Jaura Rupe, Wichita sophomore; and Big Jays: Jerry Pauly, Denton junior; and Meridith Ashley, Prairie Village junior. Photo by Selena Iahara/KANSAN
From the Lawrence Yellow Pages to bookstore calendars, from Memorial Stadium to the Fieldhouse, the "Big Jay" and "Baby Jay" can be found anywhere and everywhere.
You might have even met him — or is it a her?
Under the heat of the feathers and the bulk of the beak, Jerry Pauly, Denton junior, and Meridith Ashley, Prairie Village junior, play the role of "Big Jay." "Baby Jay" is performed by Eva Davis, Topeka junior, Jessica Baul, Albuquerque, N.M., sophomore, and Laura Rupe, Wichita sophomore.
Puttin' on the costume
Being a Jayhawk mascot requires a massive time commitment.
The squad members practice at 10 p.m. by themselves, in addition to the time they practice with the cheerleaders. They also attend a mandatory national mascot camp each year.
If a student makes the squad, he or she is given a $150 scholarship per semester as a first-year squad member.
Calculate the money with the average time spent per week — between 15 and 20 hours — and the members average roughly $0.45 an hour.
Then why do it?
"People who do it, love it," said Davis, a second-year member and captain. "If you don't love it you won't be able to find the time you need to do it. You have to love it."
Ashley, a second-year member, said she became interested when she was in high school.
"I didn't want to commit to a sport," she said. "This just fits my personality."
Davis, one of the three "Baby Jays," also saw being a mascot as an opportunity when she was in high school.
"I have always been short, and this is something I talked in high school about wanting to do," Davis said. "I was always a Jayhawk fan, and I just thought this could be an extension of my cheerleading background.
"My freshman year I watched the Baby Jay at the games and just knew it was something I had to do."
Javhawk Origin 101
These five students are part of a rich tradition of the Jayhawk mascot.
The mythical bird first appeared in 1886 as a character in the Rock Chalk Man. The Kansas football team was called the Jayhawkers when it took to the field in 1890.
The bird became a little more lifelike in 1912 when Henry Maloy, a cartoonist for the *Kansan*, drew the first picture of the Jayhawk. He gave it shoes so the Jayhawk could kick its opponents.
In 1960, after several more artistic renditions of the Jayhawk, the University brought its mascot to life as a 3-D reality. In 1971, during the homecoming halftime show, a huge egg was brought out to the 50-yard line, and fans witnessed the hatching of "Baby Jay."
A beak in the crowd
The mascots appear at every home and away football game, every home men's and women's basketball game and devote at least three appearances a season to baseball, softball, volleyball and soccer. They also find time to fit in at least one appearance
at a swim meet, tennis meet and both an indoor and an outdoor track competition.
The Jays make appearances at numerous alumni events, every University-sponsored pep rally, the spring football scrimmage, the yearly Football Kickoff, most local parades and all homecoming events. There will also be one of the Jays at every Big 12 and NCAA basketball
tournament game.
The pair of birds also attend numerous children's birthday parties, visit kids in the hospital and make special appearances in grade schools.
responsibility on the group's members. However, Ashley said that informality brought the group together.
Despite the long hours, hard work and little financial recognition, the Jays love their work. The group is functioning without a coach and on a limited budget, which adds extra

"The camaraderie of the group is the best part," she said. "Because of the small size of the group, we really know each other and we know what one another is going through."
Chargers, Flutie discuss plans for the future
The Associated Press
Chargers coach Mike Riley envisions Flutie bridging the gap to when Michael Vick, the likely first pick in the draft, is ready to play. And Flutie, who was cut by the Buffalo Bills last week, would be reunited with the general manager who brought him back to the NFL three years ago.
SAN DIEGO — Doug Flutie and the San Diego Chargers sized each other up yesterday and liked what they saw.
But the sides said they didn't talk about a contract because Flutie, the 5-foot-10 quarterback who turns 39 in October, plans to visit other teams, which he wouldn't identify.
"I really do like the situation here," said Flutie, who will turn 39 in October. "I do have to make a couple of stops and look at a couple of other situations. I couldn't put a time frame on anything. We haven't started talking numbers, if we talk numbers at all."
New Chargers defensive end Marcellus Wiley, a teammate of Flutie's the last three seasons, said he heard Washington, New England and Tampa Bay were interested in Flutie. However, Tampa Bay signed Brad Johnson, the most coveted free-agent quarterback, on Monday.
Flutie was clearly enthusiastic about the Chargers, though, and not scared off by their NFL-worst 1-15 record last year.
"It just seems like a good atmosphere," Flutie said. "Obviously it's a team that has had a talented defense the last couple of years and has been in position to win a lot of lot of games and just hasn't."
Flutie had a hand in shaping the Chargers' record. He came on in relief of Rob Johnson — who last week survived the Bills' long-run quarterback controversy — and led the Bills to an overtime victory against San Diego.
It was John Butler, the Chargers' new general manager, who signed Flutie from the CFL to the Bills in 1998. Flutie was 21-9 for the Bills in three seasons.
good, that's the kind of people you want to have around you." Butler said. "To be here would be great. That's a winner."
"When you look at a player like that, they're so successful, so
Flutie said there was no rush on either side, and a big consideration would be his family, which included school-aged children, staving behind in Massachusetts.
"I'm going to go where the best football situation is for now. It's only a few more years for me, and wherever that may be, I want to make the most of it on the football field." Flutie said.
Riley was asked how Flutie might fit in if the Chargers do indeed pick Vick.
Riley said it was an issue, given the age difference between Flutie and Vick and the limited number
of years Flutie would play.
"That's a pretty subjective thing, but it has been talked about." Riley said.
"I think he sees a situation that presents a quarterback with a good opportunity," the coach said.
Flutie has a big fan in Wiley, who on Monday signed the biggest deal in Chargers' history, a $40 million, six-year contract that includes a $9 million signing bonus.
"As much as he's a friend off the field, on the field, I just think he can make the biggest impact for us at that position, out of all the other names out there," Wiley said.
Men's tennis experiences highs,lows
The Kansas men's tennis team has been through a lot in the past week.
The week began on a high note as the Jayhawks completed a doubleheader sweep last weekend, beating Boise State and Missouri-Kansas City at Alymer Racquet Club.
Then the Jayhawks, fresh off a successful weekend, got wind of some unfortunate news. The men's tennis program, as well as the men's swimming and diving program, are being eliminated in 2001-2002.
Despite the
devastating
news,
the Jayhawks (9-4)
are riding a
five-game win-
ning streak
entering their
pivotal match against Texas A&M at 2 p.m. today at Alvamar.
Texas A&M enters the match as one of the elite tennis teams in the nation — the Aggies are 9-2 and ranked No. 5 nationally. Kansas coach Ross Nwachukuw said he understood the intensity this match provided.
"My guys have been looking forward to playing Texas A&M since the beginning of the season," Nwachukwu said. "They will be ready to play despite the awful, horrific news."
The important match could not come at a better point in the season for the 'Hawks in terms of winning streaks.
Kansas junior Quentin Blakeney has lead the charge for the Jayhawks, winning seven singles matches in a row. He has also gone 12-1 in the spring.
Blakeney helped the Jayhawks defeat Boise State last weekend, 4-3, when he defeated the No.95 player in the country, Mark Roberts.
Blakeney's play has also rubbed off on his doubles partner. Kansas sophomore Pete Stroer has won five matches in a row and seven of his last eight.
As a doubles team, Blakeney and Stroer have provided the 'Hawks with seven victories in a row at the No. 2 doubles slot.
The Jayhawks enter the match against Texas A&M as the No. 57 team in the country and the No. 4 seed in Region V.
Nwachukwu respects Texas A&M, but said his team would be ready to play.
"They are definitely a quality team," Nwachuwu said. "I expect our guys to play really hard and take advantage of the home crowd and home court."

Two elected to Hall of Fame
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Bill Mazeroski, who hit one of baseball's most famous home runs, was elected to the Hall of Fame yesterday by the Veterans Committee, along with former Negro leagues player Hilton Smith.
MLB
Dick Williams, Gil Hodges, Dom DlMaggio and Marvin Miller were bypassed by the panel, down to 14 members because of Ted Williams' recent open heart surgery. It took 75 percent - 11 votes - for election
"I'm pretty happy," said Mazeroski, who was at the site of the committee's meeting. "I don't really know what to say. I never, ever expected to be here. You dream of a lot of things. You want to be in the big leagues. You want to make the All-Star game. You want to be in a World Series.
"You want to all those things, but you never dream of this. It's pretty exciting. I just hope I can live up to it."
Induction ceremonies will be held Aug. 5 at Cooperstown, N.Y. Kirby Puckett and Dave Winfield were elected in January by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
The Vets were allowed to pick up to four new Hall of Famers, one from each of four categories: former major leaguers, Negro leaguers, 19th century players and personnel, plus a composite of managers, umpires, executives and Negro leaguers.
"I don't really think of it unless somebody talks about it, and hardly a day goes by when somebody doesn't talk about it," Mazeroski said. "The New York people are still mad at me."
In 1992, Mazeroski's last year on the BBWAA ballot, he was listed on 182 of 430 ballots, 42.3 percent. A player needed 323 votes for election that year.
Mazerowski's homer at Forbes Field won Game 7 of the 1960 World Series for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the New York Yankees.
He came within one vote of election last year, when, for the first time since 1993, the Vets did not
Mazeroski, 64, was a .260 career hitter. He was a seven-time All-Star and won eight Gold Gloves for the Pirates. He took part in a record 1,706 double plays at second base, and many consider him the finest fielder ever at the position.
select a former major leaguer.
"He's the best second baseman of all time," former Pirates general manager Joe Brown said. "I don't think anybody came close. I've seen second basemen all the way back to the early '30s and defensively I know of no one who is his equal."
Williams hoped to follow Sparky Anderson, Tommy Lasorda and Earl Weaver, managers recently elected by the Veterans' panel.
Smith, a teammate of Satchel Paige on the Kansas City Monarchs, died in 1983. He was 72-32 in 146 games from 1937 to 1948. His best season was 1941, when he went 10-4.
Williams won two titles with Oakland and also took Boston and San Diego to the World Series, joining Bill McKeechin as the only manager to do it with three teams.
Williams' career record was 1,571,
1,451, including stints with
California, Montreal and Seattle.
"Not to take anything away from
"Not to take anything away from
Sparky, Tommy and Earl, but I think my numbers rank right up there with them," he said before the vote.
Among those on the Vets panel is John McHale, the Montreal executive who fired Williams in 1981.
Williams spent the night in jail, and the bad publicity doomed his chances.
Williams seemed to have enough support last year leading up to the election. But about six weeks before the vote, he was charged with walking naked outside his hotel room in Fort Myers, Fla.
Hodges starred at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers, hitting 370 home runs, and managed the 1969 Miracle Mets to the World Series title.
DiMaggio, the younger brother of the late Joe DiMaggio, hit 298 in 11 seasons. He played in the Boston outfield with Ted Williams.
Miller was hired as executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association on March 5,1966,and led a revolution that ended the reserve clause and created free agency and salary arbitration, raising the average salary of major leaguers from $19,000 in 1967 to more than $2 million this year.
Injury sidelines Heat's leading scorer
The Associated Press
T he Heat's leading scorer dislocated his left shoulder in Monday's victory against Detroit
MIAMI — Long accustomed to playing short-handed, the Miami Heat are confident they can cope with the loss of guard Eddie Jones.

"It's disappointing for us and for
Miami coach Pat Riley said he was optimistic Jones could return before the end of the regular season April 18.
him," Riley said yesterday. "But we will keep on."
Despite the season-long absence of All-Star center Alonzo Mourning with a kidney aliment, the Heat are 37-24 and just one game behind last year's pace, when they won their fourth consecutive Atlantic Division title.
Jones came to Miami last August in a nine-player trade with Charlotte that had Heat fans speculating about a possible NBA title. Mourning's aliment was discovered two months later and, with Jones now joining him on the bench, the Heat may struggle to hang onto their third-place spot in the Eastern Conference.
"It's the same situation as with 'Zo,' swingman Bruce Bowen said. "If we cry about it, what good is that going to do?"
Jones hurt his shoulder when he
tried to strip the ball from Corliss Williamson. He spent the night in the hospital, and the shoulder will be immobilized for R-10 days
Jones suffered a similar injury as a rookie six years ago and missed 18 games. The Heat have 21 regular-season games remaining.
His 18.1 points per game may be impossible to replace. Riley said he'd likely go with a smaller lineup and rely more on forward-center Brian Grant for offense. The extra playing time will be divided among Dan Majorle, Ricky Davis, Anthony Carter, Eddie House, Cedric Ceballos and perhaps Don MacLean.
Davis, acquired in the blockbuster trade with Charlotte, likely will make his Miami debut today against Dallas. Davis has been sidelined all season by a broken foot but returned to practice nearly a month ago and could help pick up the scoring slack.
Majerle, 35, has missed 28 games himself because of injuries. Now he may move into the starting lineup even though he's shooting just 31 percent.
"Dan is remarkable," Riley said. "He is playing the game as well as anybody we have on the team. He might not be making shots, but he's playing the game the way I want it played. He helps our team so much."
Grant, playing out of position at center because of Mourning's absence, will again be required to adjust his game and become more offensive-minded. He's third on the team with an average of 15.3 points per game.
"We've just got to go through it all over again." Grant said. "It's a team that has been through a lot this year. It has definitely been a character-building year."

Request for photos causes stir
Paper wants copies of pictures from Earnhardt's autopsy
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Sentinel's request for the autopsy photos of Dale Earnhardt has brought a torrent of angry calls and e-mail from race fans and prompted an effort by lawmakers to prevent the release of such pictures in future cases.
In the past two days, Sentinel Editor Tim Franklin has taken about 3,000 of the almost 7,000 emails and calls.
"Some of the e-mails have been quite ugly, but I understand it's
an emotional issue,"
Franklin said. "While we feel sorry for the Earnhardt family and what they're go ing through, there's a big issue here a b o u t N A S C R A S F A Y, and
schwern
service
Earnhardt: Debate surrounds his autopsy photos
we're simply trying to provide more information about how Dale Earnhardt died."
Franklin has said repeatedly the newspaper had no intention of publishing the photos but wanted to view them so a head trauma expert could make an
independent determination of the cause of death. The Sentinel ran a series last month that showed three NASCAR drivers who died last year suffered fractures at the base of the skull.
"He's the fourth driver in nine months to die," Franklin said. "This isn't a fight that we seek or asked for, but we believe that there are big issues at stake here as far as NASCAR safety. There's also a big principle at stake, access to state records."
Three Republican lawmakers are drafting legislation that would prohibit the release of any autopsy photographs. Such photos would be treated as private medical records.
Earnhardt was killed in a crash Feb. 18 at the Daytona 500. The race car driver's widow, Teresa, sued Volusia County four days later to stop
release of the medical examiner's photos. The next day, a Sentinel reporter made a public records request for the pictures.
Judge Joseph Will issued a temporary injunction against the photos' release, saying they have no "bona fide newsworthiness" and could cause the family "additional anguish and grief." A hearing is set for tomorrow.
Barbara Petersen, executive director of the First Amendment Foundation in Tallahassee, said the restrictions contemplated by lawmakers would be a big mistake. She said the public records law provided for oversight regarding medical examiners who could feel political pressure to render a particular cause of death.
"A total ban is clearly unconstitutional." Petersen said.
Louisville set to speak with Pitino
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich said yesterday Rick Pitino was his top choice to be the Cardinals' next coach and they would discuss the job this weekend.
Denny Crum, who coached Louisville to two NCAA championships, announced his retirement last Friday, ending a 30-year Hall of Fame career. Speculation about Pitino — former coach of Kentucky
and the Boston Celtics — began almost immediately.
Jurich said he did not try to contact Pitino until Sunday, when he called Brent Rice, a Lexington attorney and a mutual friend. Jurich said he and Pitino had not spoken at all.
"I will be meeting with Rick this weekend down in Florida," Jurich said at a news conference. "I expressed to Brent that I would like the opportunity to sit down with Rick and Rick has obliged."
ESPN Radio he was interested in the Louisville job. He took the reins of a Kentucky program strapped with NCAA probation in 1989 and turned it into an NCAA champion seven years later. He left the program after the following season to run the Celtics, but resigned in January after three unsuccessful seasons.
Pitino said earlier in the day on
Pitino would have another rebuilding project in Louisville. The Cardinals were one of the top teams in 1980s, but have steadily declined in the past four seasons, going 62-61
overall with an 0-2 record in the NCAA tournament.
"What I've tried to focus on is who would be the best fit and who would do the best job and who I would enjoy working with," Jurich said. "I feel at this point, Coach Pitino is really who I want to focus on. I want to go down and spend as much time as I possibly can selling the amenities of this program.
"It a program I feel is one of the top five jobs in America and I want the opportunity to tell him." Jurich said.
Selanne's Sharks debut will have to wait

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Teemu Selanne will have to wait up to two weeks to make his debut for the San Jose Sharks because he needs arthroscopic surgery to remove

Selanne, obtained by the Sharks from the Anaheim Mighty Ducks on Monday, was set for surgery late yesterday. The right wing missed two games last week because of soreness and minor swelling in the knee.

"We are comfortable with Teemu having this done and expect him to join the team in the next two weeks,"said Doug Wilson, the
Sharks director of pro development. Selanne, obtained in a trade that sent goalie Steve Shields, wing Jeff Friesen and a conditional draft pick to the Mighty Ducks, had hoped to play for the Sharks today at Florida.
Selanne, the NHL's leading goal-scorer two seasons ago and a seventime All-Star, had 26 goals and 59 points for the Ducks this season.
"There was a reason we had a complete physical exam performed before finalizing the trade." Wilson said. "He could play right now, but we are moving ahead with the long-
A big problem for the Sharks' offense has been its power plays. San Jose ranks 23rd in the NHL, converting only 14.4 percent of its power-play opportunities. Ten of Selanne's 26 goals this season have come on power plays.
NCAA committee in tricky situation
Cowboys' tragedy raises sentiment
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY Mo.
Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg, a first-year member of the panel, lost a nephew in the Jan. 27 tragedy that claimed 10 members of the Cowboys' basketball traveling party, including two players.
Bill Hancock, the NCAA tournament director, lost a son.
KANSAS CITY. Mo. Memories and emotions from the Oklahoma State plane crash will be with the NCAA selection committee this week.
Everyone will be as considerate as they possibly can be to the feelings of the two men. But at some point in the room where the committee is cloistered, the Cowboys will be considered for one of 34 at large bids to the NCAA tournament.
That's when things could get tricky, and sentiment—or trying to avoid sentimentality—could come up. There is no precedent for this situation in tournament history, and the NCAA has always maintained that sentiment is never involved.
"We haven't talked about it, and I don't know how to answer that," said committee chairman Mike Tranhese.
But Tranghese said the issue would be raised by the committee.
"I'm very, very sensitive personally to that kind of tragedy," he said. "I honestly don't know what the answer is."
With a 19-8 record going into the Big 12 tournament starting tomorrow, the Cowboys are probably a bubble team — no cinch for a bid unless they win the Big 12's automatic entry.
"They're human beings," Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said of the selectors. "It can't help
oSu
but be a factor. Those are husbands and fathers and human beings in that room, and I do think it will be a factor."
Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton, who has been praised for the courage he and his team have shown, said he would not want any unfair advantage.
"I don't think any of us would want the committee to do something they wouldn't do for someone else," he said. "They always injures, and certainly emotionally we've been injured. So from that standpoint I would hope they would look at it.
"But the one thing we've got going in our favor is we have won 10 conference games in a very strong league. That, more than anything, probably helps us."
Dave Bliss, Baylor's coach, said the heartbreak the Oklahoma State family had been through was much different than a broken bone or a torn-up knee.
"The committee has a very difficult time dealing with physical injuries," he said. "The situation concerning emotional injury is uncharted.
"What I think they ought to consider is that Eddie Sutton is one of the premiere coaches and always has a premiere program. And this year he has done as good a job of coaching as anybody given all that has occurred. I choose to think they have earned (a bid)."
Texas Tech coach James Dickey would show at least a slight favoritism, just this once.
"When you look at the tragedy they've endured, and the burden (Sutton) has had to carry on his shoulders, it's been remarkable the job he has done," Dickey said.

Generations meet in game
Tim Raines, son each bat leadoff
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Tim Raines doesn't usually make a habit of pocketing the lineup card of a spring training game. This one, however, was a keeper.
The Associated Press
Raines batted leadoff for the Montreal Expos yesterday. His son, Tim Jr., occupied the same spot for the Baltimore Orioles.
"It's not every day that you get to play against your son," the elder Raines said. "This is something special. My wife is here, my father is here. It's a great moment for our family."
Raines, 41, outhit his 21-year-old son 2-1 but both got RBI singles in the Orioles' 7-6 victory.
Dad was replaced in the fifth inning and junior was removed in the fourth, yet both played long enough to gather a memory that will last a lifetime.
"It's something we started talking about the last three or four years," the elder Raines said before the game. "Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with lupus (in 1999) and that kind of put things on hold.
"But as soon as I got back into the swing of the swings, I thought we had a chance to do it. That's one of the reasons why I'm coming back."
Raines is attempting to secure a spot on the Expos' roster after signing a minor-league contract in December. He played with Oakland in 1999 before kidney inflammation forced him to the disabled list in July, and he retired last March despite hitting .293 with the New York Yankees in spring training.
Raines Jr. has been assigned to the Orioles' minor-league camp in Sarasota, but Baltimore put off his departure so he could enjoy the experience of playing in the same game as his father, who broke into the big leagues with Montreal in 1979 on the same day Tim was born.
Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Jr. are believed to be the only father and son to play together in a regular-season major-league game.
Although this game won't go into the record book, it didn't lessen the thrill for both Raines.
"The ultimate would be actually doing it in a regular-season game, but for now this is plenty enough for me." Raines Jr. said.
The matchup was arranged by the Expos and the Orioles, but the idea was hatched by players during the winter.
"We were working out during the offseason together, and I could see that he was getting in shape and serious about the comeback," Raines Jr. said, "When I saw how determined he was, I figured this is the right time and the right place. Let's do it."
No matter where his career goes from here, Raines Jr. will find it hard to match the thrill he felt on the day he and his father batted leadoff for their respective teams.
"It almost feels like a dream," he said.
Pitcher returns after surgery
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — John Smoltz walked briskly from the dugout to the mound, easily beating his Braves teammates onto the field. He began his warmups so early he had to step aside to let NBA star Tracy McGrady throw out the ceremonial first ball.
The Associated Press
"I told the guys, I've been waiting for this too long. Let's go!" Smoltz said.
Pitching for the first time since undergoing the dreaded "Tommy John" surgery on his right elbow last March, the Atlanta ace accomplished his main goal yesterday: He threw pain-free in a spring training game against Los Angeles.
The fact he gave up a two-run homer to Chris Donnels, walked two in his only inning and wound up as the losing pitcher in an 8-4 defeat did not matter in the least.
"I could've given up 10 runs or gone six up, six down and it wouldn't
Braves
have changed how I felt," Smotz said. "It was a big day for me just to get to this point."
"I've been planning this for so long. I had a lot building up inside me," he said. "It sure seems like forever since I'd been out there."
The 33-year-old former Cy Young Award winner made only one start in spring training last year before his season ended. Dr. James Andrews performed the major surgery on Smoltz's elbow last March 23.
Minus their best big-game pitcher — he's 12-4 in the postseason — the Braves were swept by St. Louis in the first round of the playoffs, end
ing their streak of eight straight appearances in the National League championship series.
"It was tough to watch that," he said. "It remains to be seen whether I could have made a difference."
Rather than worry about October, however, he focused on an exhibition start on a sunny afternoon in March.
"When I walked to the mound, I wasn't concerned with anything except throwing to the catcher," he said. "I was really looking forward to seeing what I could do.
While warming up, Smoltz was interrupted when McGrady came out to the mound to throw the first pitch.
"I thought he'd already done it," Smoltz said. "I told him, 'Just like a 3-pointer.'"
Mixing fastballs, curves, sliders and changeups, Smoltz threw 25 pitches and struck out two.
"It was great to see him out there throwing free and easy," Braves third baseman Chipper Jones said.

FINISHED THE WIRING, HELEN?

NORMALLY, I'D GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THIS, BUT I NEEDED SOME HANDS-ON WORK TODAY...
I REALLY MISS THAT ONE-ON-ONE WITH RAW ELECTRICITY!
SIGH... ME, TOO.
A
I REALLY MISS
THAT ONE-ON-ONE WITH
RAW ELECTRICITY!
NEW YORK - In exile from the network he put on the air, Reese Schonfeld observes CNN from a distance, and disapproves.
But the growing public perception is that, after years of winning the game it invented, CNN has dropped the ball. Now, with cruelly propitious timing, a new book by Sonfeldland in lands to argue the same point.
CNN co-founder writes critical book
SIGH... ME, TOO.
In Me and Ted Against the World: The Unauthorized Story of the Founding of CNN (Harper Collins), this TV news barnstormer offers an entertaining, sharply personal account of how, fueled by 'Turner's' money and grandiosity, he got CNN off the ground on June 1, 1980, then less than two years later started Headline News. He also tells how it's gone wrong since his abrupt departure soon after.
Maybe CNN is just going through a necessary, even useful transition.
His grievances are many: The widely reported management shake-ups and programming flascos; the 400 layoffs in recent weeks, including marque names like Jim Moret, Greg LaMotte and Flip Spiceland; the lack of clear direction as CNN is upstaged by flashier archivals Fox News Channel and NMSRC — to which CNN scrambles to react.
Me and Ted means to set the record straight.
By Frazier Moore The Associated Press
Engaging in what he calls "anti-revisionism," Sonfield aims to reclaim his rightful place in the CNN saga, from which, in the company's official history, he has long been excluded. (As recently as last week, he was absent from the on-air tribute to departing anchorman Bernard Shaw, whom he hired at CNN's inception.)
Owner Time Warner's merger with AOL has only stoked Schonfeld's concerns for CNN, which, in this colossal new corporate puzzle, becomes a smaller than-ever piece. The entire CNN News Group, including CNN/U.S. and 33 other information services, generates 3 percent of AOL Time Warner's total operating income, according to Porter Bibb, an industry analyst for Technoloqy Partners.
"You hear about how bad CNN was in the beginning," bristles Schonfeld, then as now a looming figure with a wall-to-wall smile that can seem either pleasant or menacing. "The fact is, CNN was at its best, and the ratings were at their best, from the first of the year of '82 until I was fired."
Meanwhile, Schonfeld's fellow CNN mastermind, Ted Turner, also has been dethroned. He lives on, in his own words, as "a figurehead."
Schonfeld. He grins defiantly. "There's no point in looking too deep."

Lawsuit spurs settlement talks
WWW.KANSAN.COM
By Cássio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas and Bank of America have started settlement negotiations with Watkins and Miller scholarship halls' residents after the residents filed a lawsuit Tuesday alleging negligence and fraud against Bank of America. The petition included counts requesting more than $75,000 for negligence and fraud.
The residents' attorney, David Brown, said in the petition that Bank of America failed to administer the trust solely in the interest of benefiting the halls as set forth by the Elizabeth M. Watkins Scholarship Fund.
Brown said yesterday that any damages resulting from the lawsuit would be paid into the trust.
He said he had been contacted by the University and Bank of America after filing the petition Tuesday and that the parties were examining the possibilities of a settlement.
"We have started to explore whether settlement talks would be possible," Brown said. "The real goal is to have the trust managed properly."
He said that the trust money traditionally had been sent to the Kansas University Endowment Association — not to the hall's trust.
Jim Rankin, attorney representing Bank of America, couldn't be reached for comment.
Ola Ramm, a representative for the petitioners and Manhattan senior, said the residents were hopeful about the new lawsuit.
"We've done well so far," she said.
But Ramm said the residents acknowledged that results on the lawsuit wouldn't be seen soon.
"We are not thinking that it's going to happen tomorrow," she said.
Ramm said that she and other students living at the two scholarship halls thought it was a worthy cause because living in the hall had been one of the best experiences of their lives.
"We want to get it back to the way it should be and Ms. Watkins wanted it to be," she said.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, refused to comment on the lawsuit.
The Kansas Supreme Court declined last month to review an appeal filed by Bank of America in a case brought by 13
Watkins Hall residents in February 2000 requesting to receive information on how the bank had managed the trust.
Douglas County District Court Judge Jack Murphy previously ruled that the residents should be the beneficiaries of the Miller-Watkins trust fund, which partially supports Watkins and Miller halls.
Bank of America has been responsible for managing the trust fund Watkins left in her will to establish the two women's scholarship halls.
The fund, which began with $250,000 in 1939, has grown to about $3 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.
Capoeira dance offers taste of Brazil

Kansas City group performs at Union

Kansan staff writer
Camila Querasian, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior, kicked and spun with her partner in front of the Kansas Union as the two reacted to each other's moves, creating a rhythmic fight scene set to music.
More than 80 people attended the capoeira dance performance, which intertwined martial arts, dance and music. Five members from the Kansas City-area group Axe Capoeira and two University of Kansas students danced for the crowd. The presentation was part of Brazilian week, allowing students an opportunity to learn the history and culture of the South American country.
"It's one of our cultural legacies," s a i d Qruserman, who has been an experienced participant of
BRAZILIAN WEEK

capoeira since she was 15. "Slaves on sugar plantations practiced defending themselves with capoeira. They set it to music so their masters wouldn't find out."
Jennifer Mellard, Meade senior, was walking by and spotted a friend watching the dance. She decided to stop for a minute to see what everybody was doing there. She ended up staying through the whole performance.
"I have never seen anything like it," she said. "I would love to try it."
Thais Brandao, Recife, Brazil,
"Slaves on sugar plantations practiced defending themselves with capoeira. They set it to music so their masters wouldn't find out."
Camila Querasian Rio de Janeiro, Brazil senior
sophomore, started learning the dance with her boyfriend in Brazil. She eventually lost the boyfriend but continued on with capoeira, which became an addiction for her.
"It's one of the things I miss most," she said. "I was really proud to show people. Once you do it, you want to show others and have them learn."
The event showcased flips, handstands, kicks and all of the various roots of break dancing. Capoeira spawned the 1980s craze and can easily be seen as dancers time their movements to avoid contact with others.
They perform the martial art movements to the music of ancient Brazilian instruments.
The berrimbau, which is a giant bow struck with a rattle, is the main instrument, controlling the music and dictating the game. Percussion instruments and tambourines are also used in the performance.
"It teaches you a lot of instruments," Querasian said. "Masters don't always want to play; everyone must learn how."
Brazilian week continues tonight with a dance clinic at 6 p.m. at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 204 Oread Ave.

Religious, partisan bill suspended
By Brooke Hesler and Sarah Warren writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writers
A bill that would allow Student Senate to grant money to religious organizations was put on hold last night by the Senate Finance Committee.
Erin Simpson, Student Senate Executive Committee member and co-sponsor of the bill, expressed her concern that committee members didn't have enough time to look at the bill before the meeting.
The bill would allow Senate to allocate money to religious and partisan groups for things such as office supplies, photocopying expenses and postage. It also states that Senate cannot allocate money to be used for specific religious activities such as buying religious literature or compensating religious officials.
"I first saw a copy of this at 4 p.m." she said. "I feel very frustrated as a co-author of this bill and not to see it before it was put in Senate."
Branden Bell, off-campus senator and co-sponsor of the bill, said that the bill was important but agreed that a decision on it should wait.
"We need to have rules in place that are consistent with Supreme Court guidelines," he said. "We can go back and amend this."
The Finance Committee also delayed its decision on a bill allocating $150 to the Student Advisory Board of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center. The Board was seeking money for posters and advertising for church-related activities including a Spring Dance.
Also last night, the Student Rights Committee failed a petition to change student seating in Allen Fieldhouse to the center sections of the building.
In other business:
■ The Finance and Multicultural Affairs committees approved a bill allocating $3,330 for the Haitian Cultural Event.
The Student Rights and University Affairs committees approved a bill requiring senators to complete outreach assignments in conjunction with the Senate Outreach Board.
- The Student Rights and University Affairs committees approved a bill requiring senators to serve one office hour during the week and suspending senators if they miss more than three office hours during the semester.
- The Student Rights and University Affairs committees approved a referendum on the April election ballots asking students if they favor expanding Legal Services for Students.
— Filled by Brenndy Srow
BILL DELAYED
What happened: The Student Senate Finance Committee delayed discussion of a bill that would allow Senate to grant money to religious and partisan groups.
**What it means:** A clause in the Senate rules and regulations handbook prohibiting Senate from granting money to religious groups remains suspended.
What's next? The bill will return to Senate committees for a vote in two weeks.
Rock Chalk Revue promotes community service, a good time
By Maggie Newcomer
Kansan correspondent
The glittering costumes, singing, dancing and elaborate set designs at the Rock Chalk Revue all have a purpose — to help the Lawrence community through donations
each year,starting with the first show in 1949,Rock Chalk has donated the profits from ticket sales to the Douglas County United Way.
VOLUNTEER
about $36,500," said Callie Shultz, Rock Chalk business manager. "This year we're hoping to donate close to $40,000."
"Last year we donated
and community service.
COMMUNITY
SERVICE
Rock Chalk begins tonight at 7 at the Lieo Center. Additional performances will take place at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
The money Rock Chalk contributes is one or the largest donations the United Way receives each year, according to Johannah Bryant, United Way executive director. The money will go to the 29 local human service agencies supported by the United Way.
"If we didn't have the money from Rock Chalk come in every year, it would be a very significant loss," he said.
But the community service side of Rock Chalk begins long before rehearsals start. Student living organizations begin volunteering on the United Way's Day of Caring in September.
"We encourage any living organization to participate, not just the ones in the show," said Mandy Pitler, community service coordinator for Rock Chalk. "We stop taking hours the week before the show. The organizations turn in hours and we designate points. One community service hour equals one point. There's also a point system for clothing donations, donations to charities and canned goods donations."
Awards will be given out after Saturday's performance to the most charitable organizations. The honors are separated into categories of gold, silver, bronze and honorable mention.
She said she knew community service wasn't a priority for everyone, but awarding students for their time and dedication helped the cause.
"Gold awards are given to the organizations with 13 or more hours per person," Pitler said. "The amount of hours for each award goes down after that."
"I don't want to say that the only reason people volunteer is the incentive of the awards,

ROCK CHALK REVUE
■ Theme: "For the Record"
**When:** Tonight, tomorrow and Saturday at 7 p.m.
Where: The Lied Center
Purpose: Profits from ticket sales are donated to the Douglas County United Way
but it does help motivate people," Pitter said. "Volunteering around Lawrence is a really great thing to do while you're here at KU, and once you get involved, you'll stay involved."
Bryant said Rock Chalk was a one-of-a-kind production.
"I have worked with the United Way for quite a while and I have never heard of another student production that brings in the money and the hours that Rock Chalk does," he said. "It is a very unique situation and also very impressive."
Tickets are available at the SUA office in the Kansas Union.

Three could face charges in fraternity house fire
The Douglas County District attorney will decide today whether formal charges will be filed against three individuals who were found Saturday afternoon on the property of the vacant Phi Kappa Theta fraternity house, 1941 Stewart Ave. A fire caused $300,000 in damage to the house Feb. 28.
District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said yesterday that the office was still waiting for more information from fire investigators about the cause of the fire, but arson had not been ruled out as a possible cause.
A bond hearing was held at 3 p.m. yesterday for Thomas Cale, Jr., who was charged earlier this week with one count of criminal damage in connection with his presence at the fraternity house after the fire.

Playwright advances to national festival
A play written by a University of Kansas student has been chosen for the Kennedy Center/American College Theater Festival in Washington, D.C. this April.
Michael O'Brien, Winnetka, Ill., junior, wrote Bunnies, which was produced last fall at the English Alternative Theater at the University. The play made its way to regional competition in January in Kansas City, Mo., where it was selected for the national production.
Bunnies, a fictional account of Hugh Hefner before the birth of Playboy, was the fourth KU play to be selected for the nation al festival in its 33-year history.
"I was watching a biography on him (Hefner) and just wanted to believe he
was a bumbling idiot with the ladies," O'Brien said.
The production is scheduled to be performed on Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29 at the Kennedy Center. To help raise money for the show, a benefit performance of Bunnies will be presented at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 25 at Liberty Hall.
An English and creative writing major, O'Brien was one of three University playwrights chosen for regional competition. Alan Newton, a Lawrence doctoral student in English, and Matthew Hubbard, Prairie Village junior, also competed against writers from eight other states.
"I am flattered and extremely excited for everyone involved," O'Brien said.

Amnesty International questions prison safety
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas got mixed reviews and Missouri was severely criticized in a national report by a civil rights group for their policies protecting female inmates from sexual abuse.
Those findings were part of a nationwide report released Tuesday by Amnesty International, which said female prisoners throughout the country are not given adequate protection from sexual abuse because too many states lack tough laws and uniform policies.
Kansas was praised for its laws dealing with sexual abuse of female inmates but was criticized for certain prison policies; Missouri was cited among the worst in the nation for its laws and also was criticized for some of its policies.
The report looked at issues such as physical restraints used on women before and during childbirth, male guards' patting down of female inmates and guards' claims of inmate consent as a defense to charges of sexual misconduct.

Girl fires gun in fight at Pennsylvania school
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — A 14-year-old girl shot a female classmate in the shoulder yesterday in a parochial school cafeteria following a long-standing argument between the two eighth-graders, authorities said.
Santana High students return to classrooms
Kimberly Marchese, 13, was in stable condition at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, authorities said.
The shooting happened around noon during lunch at Bishop Neumann Junior Senior High, a Roman Catholic school.
A witness said the shooter fired at the floor and the bullet ricocheted into the victim.
SANTEE, Calif. — With the bullet holes patched and a grief counselor assigned to every classroom, students and teachers returned yesterday to the high school where two people were killed and 13 wounded in a shooting rampage two days earlier.
The 1,900-student school reopened 48 hours after Charles Andrew Williams, 15, allegedly opened fire with a pistol. He was charged yesterday with two counts of murder and 26 other counts.
Santana students spent yesterday talking with teachers, administrators, counselors and one other. There were no immediate plans to resume regular classes. About 150 counselors — some of whom worked at Columbine High School after the bloodbath there in 1999 — were assigned to the school, one to each classroom.
Census shows Hispanic population growth
WASHINGTON — The fast-growing Hispanic population has drawn nearly even with blacks, according to preliminary Census Bureau estimates that analysts say show an America more diverse than ever.
Hispanic population growth outpaced predictions by at least 2.5 million in the 2000 census, with much of that increase due to higher-than-expected rates of immigration, analysts said yesterday.
There were about 35.3 million Hispanics in America last year, an increase of 58 percent from 1990, the preliminary Census Bureau estimates show.
The Black population, meanwhile, ranged between 34.7 million and 36.4 million, with the exact figure uncertain because Americans, for the first time, were allowed to check off more than one race on the 2000 census form. Though the figures are from a Census Bureau committee report, they are not final and may change, caution Jorge del Pinal, a senior agency official in charge of race and ethnicity statistics.

PRISTINA, Yugoslavia — U.S. soldiers in Kosovo traded fire yesterday with gunmen near the Macedonian border, where American troops have been working to contain an ethnic Albanian insurgency.
The U.S. military said two gunmen were wounded. The incident occurred inside Kosovo just across the border from the Macedonian village of Tanusevci, where Macedonian troops and ethnic Albanian guerrillas clashed for two days this week. No American soldiers were injured in the gunbattle, the U.S. military said in a statement.

Four advance in scholarship contest
Karrigan Bork, Robert Chamberlain, Shawna N. Smith and Holly Worten are competing for graduate scholarships worth up to $30,000. Nominees are interviewed by regional panels, which make recommendations for the 85 available scholarships based on leadership, intellect and the potential to make a difference.
The University of Kansas is sending all four of its Truman scholarship nominees to the final round of the national competition for the second year in a row.
Students are only eligible if they plan to work in a public service capacity and propose a solution to a public policy issue.
Bork, Lawrence senior, is proposing to ask President George W. Bush to remove four dams on the Snakeriver in order to revitalize the salmon population, which has decreased by 90 percent since the dams were built.
Chamberlain, Topeka senior, would like to see the
House of Representatives form an Office of Technology insertion that would serve to provide reliable equipment to the military and, therefore, raise morale.
Smith, Hays junior, is proposing four education initiatives funded by the Kansas Lottery that would attempt to increase voter turnout.
ON THE RECORD
Worthen, McPherson junior, said she would like to reinstate the migratory student record transfer program because half of migrant students drop out of school. She said she thought improving the record transfer process would help more students graduate from high school.
Congress established the Truman Scholarship Foundation in 1975, and two years later it awarded its first scholarships.

A KU student reported being harassed by phone between 8 a.m. Jan. 22 and noon Monday at her Oliver Hall room, the KU Public Safety Office said.
No one was treated for injuries in a four-car accident at 4:29 p.m. Sunday on Crestline Drive, the KU Public Safety Office said. The report stated that three cars were stopped in a row on Crestline Drive when a fourth car hit the last car in the row. The hit car rolled forward and bumped the next car, causing that car to roll forward and bump the front car. All cars sustained extensive damage that will cost more than $500 each to repair. The first car hit is now inoperable, the report stated. Two drivers complained of neck pains, but refused medical treatment. A passenger in the first car hit cut his elbow and knee and complained of neck pains,
but also refused medical treatment.
A 23-year-old KU student's left front car window was damaged between 11 p.m. Sunday and 11 a.m. Monday in the 1200 block of Tennessee Street, Lawrence police said. The window will cost $310 to repair.

Monday, Lawrence police said. The driver's side window was broken, which will cost $300 to repair.
An 18-year-old KU student's 1996 Jeep Cherokee was damaged between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. Monday in the 1000 block of Ohio Street, Lawrence police said. The driver's side window was broken, which will cost $300 to repair.

Mechanical problems heat up Amini

Temperatures in K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall reached more than 90 degrees Sunday due to a faulty heating control, causing a fire alarm to go off. But residents of the hall say overactive heaters is nothing new.
Brad Lewis, Hutchinson sophomore and hall proctor, said residents could not directly control the temperature of the hall.

"The main thermostat is in a locked room right off our laundry room," he said. The director of the hall would have to call maintenance to have the thermostat adjusted.
Lewis also said the problem with temperature was not limited to heat problems.
"I can remember one time it was so cold in here and our air conditioner wouldn't shut off," he said.
Before the fire alarm Sunday, residents had
opened the windows in their rooms, trying to cool the hall down, but the temperature kept rising, said Scott Chapman. Shawnee junior and Amini vice president.
"Everyone had commented on how hot it was, especially on the third floor," he said. "When
the alarm went off, someone thought the heat sensors tripped upstairs."
The heat sensor that was tripped was actually on the first floor, in the room of K.K. Amini's hall director, who was out of town for the weekend. His room was locked and
the windows were shut, so the temperature in his room had risen to 95 degrees, Lewis said.
"He's had problems with that room all semester," Lewis said. "It's been in the 80s and even 90s."
Each room is equipped with heat sensors and smoke detectors. The Lawrence Fire Department unhooked the sensor in the director's room, but left his smoke alarm intact, Lewis said.
After the false alarm, maintenance workers turned off the heat in the hall overnight to cool it off.
Phil Garito, associate director of maintenance for the department of student housing, said the heating control had malfunctioned. A system intended to switch to air conditioning when temperatures get too high was simply not switching.
"Mechanical things fail and
burn out," he said. "We've replaced it with a temporary one that tells the exact temperature."
Chapman said that this was only the tip of the problem.
"I'd like it if they actually went through and did the ventilation right," he said. "I know they made a lot of mistakes when they built it, and I think this proved that the heating system doesn't work."
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said one resident had complained to the department about the heating issue before Sunday.
"When you're making a building for the comfort of 50 people, occasionally the system will have a problem," he said.
Garito said repairs should take place before air conditioning is needed.

Arts endowment uses tax money appropriately
The National Endowment for the Arts, the $100 million drop of change in the federal budget, just can't seem to escape the tire of penny pinchers who think tax dollars are going to waste on publicly funded art.
Using the example of a few exhibitions which contained controversial art and had some public funding, these culture police want to pull the plug on all public arts funding.
Last Friday, one Kansan columnist called public funding of the arts unconstitutional, wasteful and in need of minimum standards of decency. Spewing the usual rhetoric, this columnist failed to mention that only the smallest percentage of the agency's 110,000
grants during the past 36 years have even raised the hackles of the public.
In fact, grants from the NEA are the seed money for jobs, culture and creativity in all parts of the country. Using the trickle-down economics en vogue these days, the $97.6 million NEA fiscal year 2000 budget helped stimulate a nonprofit arts industry with 1.3 million full-time jobs and an annual expenditure of $36.8 billion.

Through income and sales taxes, nonprofit art

generates more than $5 billion in revenue for federal, state and local governments. The 36 cents each American spends annually on the NEA goes a long way.
NEA grants require locally donated matching funds, and since the agency's establishment in 1965, private giving to the arts has exploded from $0.5 billion to $10.9 billion. The jump in giving has correlated with a growth in local and state art agencies, nonprofit theaters, professional orchestras and opera companies. According to the NEA Web site, 41 percent of Americans now attend arts events — 4 percentage points more than attend professional or amateur sports events.
The federal government's support of the nonprofit arts industry is the smallest piece of the pie when compared to revenue and donations from individuals, foundations and corporations, but the federal tax dollars are important. The NEA's grants have included:
The PBS series Great Performances, winner of 51 Emmys and 121 Emmy nominations.
The design of the Vietnam Veterans
The design of the Vietnam Veteran Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Miles Davis and Sarah Vaughan. Local NEA grants already awarded for the
Local NEA grants already awarded for the fiscal year 2001 include:
- The Lied Center of Kansas, $25,000.
- City, State, Phone: 720-826-9950.
- Kansas City Symp.
- International Association of Jazz Educators in Manhattan, $30.000.
Midwest Center for the Literary Arts,
Kansas City. Mo...$10,000.
Kansas City Ballet, $10,000
NEA grants also provide money for touring companies that come to the Lied Center, such as Diavalo Dance Theater, Alvin Alley and Bullet Hispanico.
Halting these grants because some art is controversial would be ludicrous. And even the art that is deemed controversial often is misrepresented. In the 1999 "Sensation" exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, Chris Offill's elephant dung-adorned painting, "The Holy Virgin Mary," was criticized by noted art critic and New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
In fact, the dung was intended as a symbol of rebirth and rejuvenation. It was displayed next to Offili's painting "Afrodiszia," which has the names Cassius Clay, Miles Davis, Diana Ross and other African-American icons on brown clumps similar to the "Virgin Mary." The Catholic, church-going artist has been called in a New York Times opinion piece "an equal opportunity dung artist."
Also, the NEA has also come to realize that risqué art is not the best way to gain political support. The relative absence of political squabbling is part of the reason why the 2012 fiscal year marks the NEA's first funding boost since 1992 — a $7 million increase to $105 million.
But still, the calls come to ax the NEA because of controversial grants. If what some people deem as controversial does go unfunded, what comes next? Fred Phelps objects to many of the events at the Lied Center — should these also not receive funding because someone thinks they aren't worthy of viewing?

KU TENNIS BUDGET CUTS

Pass:
Four Truman finalists. KU students advance to final round of prestigious scholarship competition. Freshman, take heed: Studying actually does pav off.
Brazilian week. Activities highlighting Brazilian culture on campus end Saturday with a Carnaval celebration. Prepare to samba the night away.
Chancellor Hemenway. In tough budget times, the head honcho adds $40,000 to professors' budget to travel. We'd suggest buying certain professors one-way tickets.
Fail:
Athletics Department. Days after it said it couldn't support the men's swimming and tennis teams, it found an extra $2.3 million lying around for the football team. Bob Frederick should check the holes in his pockets.
Department of Student Housing. Housing can't turn down the heat in K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall, leading to excessive gas bills. Someone needs to turn up the heat on housing.
Contractors working on the Military Science Building. Before starting noisy work in the first-floor hallway, crews removed the doors from all the classrooms. The up side: Students won't be sleeping during class.

Parents, gun owners share blame for school shootings

It's another school year, and yet another school shooting has been added to a growing list. This week at Santana High School outside of San Diego, two students were killed, and 13 others wounded in a shooting. The suspect: a 15-year-old emotional punching bag and con-
This shooting is worse than the Columbine disaster. The San Diego death toll and damages, both physical and emotional, cannot compare to the Columbine massacre, but this is more of a permanent mark on the record of high schools. It demonstrates, more than anything else, that school environments are still not taken as seriously as they should be and that even the Columbine
C. M. HAMILTON

tragedy was not enough to convine school boards to do more. It makes me wonder what more than Columbine is needed.
I look at it this way: Whenever an airplane goes down, the immediate recovery objective is to locate the plane's black box. The box is the key to determining what steps were taken leading up to the accident and then the cause of the crash. More importantly, the black box allows aviators to find or understand certain problems in flight or mechanics and better prepare for similar circumstances.
In any high school class in the country, there are always kids who stand as the outcasts. It takes only a small amount of taunting to convince some kids to go to dad's closest and steal his pistol. Serious sensitivity training needs to be mandated for all high-schoolers. If not already established, security should be a school's top priority. More importantly, schools need to put less emphasis on competition and ranking and more on recognizing each student's contributions. And people wonder why jocks are so often the target.
Similarly, every person in the world capable of feeling has a black box of emotions.
Moreover, parents need to connect more with their children, as well as the school environment. Parents must support their children and know about their child's out-of-school behavior.
Like many people, I hate guns. I don't care for the Second Amendment either; I, however, know that the right to bear arms will never be repealed no matter how many children end up leaving schools in ambulances. To my dismay, an average Joe still has the right to buy a firearm, starting at the age of 18. That age includes some seniors in high school.
Background checks also make no sense to me. Background checks are done when the seller of the firearm collects the potential buyer's information and hands it over to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Getting a gun is too easy. If you want a gun, you can't be a fugitive from justice. You can't be a drug addict. You can't be a stalker. You can't be a domestic violence threat. But you can go into the store in your best suit and with a golden smile and be mowing down kids within a week.
As someone who is planning on being both a teacher and a parent at some point, this really frightens me. I don't buy large suits figuring I'll have enough room to slide a bullet-proof vest under it. Now, more than ever, teachers need to watch how they tell a student that they did something incorrectly, or they might pay for it the next day. All hints at future violence need to be taken more seriously.
I amazes me how you need to have a clean background in order to eventually give yourself a dirty one.
Furthermore, gun owners need to take more responsibility. The same penalties that a high school-age murderer gets should also apply to the owner of the gun. It is not illegal to own one, but it is illegal to give one to a juvenile. Background checks may prevent repeat offenders, but I won't feel any more comfortable knowing that the person who mows down my first-grade son had a clean past.

Editorial Universities deserve all info on results of test takers
Learning-disabled students deserve special help,but it should be noted on scores.
Standardized testing is one of many methods by which admissions offices decide who should attend certain schools. But these tests cause many students frustration, especially those with learning disabilities.
To alleviate some of the problems, students who have documentation of a disability are often granted extended time on these tests. In the past, a "flag" on these scores signaled the test was taken under nonstandard conditions. This method is changing.
In July 1999, Disability Rights Advocates sued to stop the flagging. Recently, the Educational Testing Service reached an out-of-court settlement. The GRE, GMAT and TOEFL will no longer be flagged, and a panel of experts will decide what to do with other standardized tests.
There should be accommodations made for those who have learning disabilities, but ignoring that a test was taken in a nonstandard manner does not give full disclosure about the applicant. While the test score achieved by these students is valid, it should be one of the factors taken into account by admissions officers.
Standardized tests — by their very definition — should be uniform. Once the tests are taken in a nonstandard environment, it changes the nature of the test. The test is no longer standardized; it has variances. Many good students without diagnosed learning disorders have major difficulties with standardized testing. These students are not allowed extra time because they are not good test takers. Students with disabilities should be permitted extra time, but it should be noted on their scores.
Standardized testing comes under a lot of fire. But it remains one of the primary methods of differentiating students who come from various educational backgrounds. Students who have disabilities but have proven their capabilities in the classroom should be accepted into graduate programs even if their test score is flagged. The flagging of test scores is not a method of discrimination — only a method of providing all of the possible information concerning their test-taking conditions.

I think it's ironic that Hemenway and Frederick canceled the two athletic programs where ... scholastics and the athletic programs are held in equally high importance and then leave intact the football program, where the lack of sportsmanship, common-sense action and the lowest grade point average seems to be the norm.

Sports Cowboys waive Aikman
The Associated Press
IRVING,Texas—Nolonger convinced that Troy Alkam can stay healthy enough to be their starter, the Dallas Cowbys yesterday waived the quarterback who led them to three Super Bowl titles.
Agent Leigh Steinberg told The Associated Press the team began the waver process yesterday.
DALLAS COWBOYS
Steinberg declined to comment further, saying only: "We will wait and see if he clears waivers and proceed from there."
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones probably would have preferred to see the 34-year old Aikman retire after 12 seasons, but his desire to keep playing left the team with little choice.
Jones had to make the move by today or else pay Aikman a $7 million bonus and extend his contract through 2007. He will still take up $10 million of Dallas's $67.4 million salary cap this season.
Allman said it was a "mutual and amicable decision."
"This is really a cap deal. Waiting 'til June wasn't going to help me," he said.
As much as Jones might have wanted to keep the first player he ever drafted, the owner apparently decided the Cowboys couldn't prepare for the 2001 season with such a fragile quarterback.
Akman, who holds practically all the Dallas passing records, sustained two concussions in 11 games last season and twice needed epidural injections to relieve back pain.
Aikman still wants to play and believes he can at a high level. As for the health risks, tests done before last season showed no long-term damage from his
previousconcussions.
Other teams might be scared off because of Alkman's injury problems, which could then prompt him to retire.
Alkman is coming off his worst season since the Cowboys went 1-15 his rookie year.
But one possible landing spot is丹迪 Diego, where close friend Norv Turner is the offensive coordinator. The Chargers could also use Alkman to groom Michael Vick, should they make him the first pick in the upcoming draft. San Diego's starting job is open because Ryan Leaf was released last week.
Alkman came to Dallas in 1989 as the top overall choice in the draft and the team's first pick under Jones and coach Jimmy Johnson. He was immediately labeled the franchise's savior and, sure enough, helped the Cowboys once again become the NFL's most-loved and most-loated team.
Earnhardt photo debate continues
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Abill sought by Dale Earnhardt's widow to exempt autopsy photographs and videos from Florida's public-records law was filed
yesterday with the support of Gov. Jeb Bush.
"The possibility of graphic and sensitive photos being leaked and exploited is a major public policy concern," said state Senate Majority Leader Jim King, who filed the bill.
He was flanked at a news conference by co-sponsor Sen. Bill Posey, Bush and two House members who have filed a similar measure.

Earnhardt: Bill filed regarding autopsy photos
"One may ask where you draw the line on a public-records exemption," King said. "I can tell you that line has got to be drawn beyond photographs as graphic as these."
"This is timely legislation," said Bush, who talked with Earnhardt's widow, Teresa, Monday about the bill. "I told her I felt we could craft legislation that protected the traditions of this state in terms of public information when the public interest is at stake, but also be sensitive to the right of privacy as well."
Bush said his office had received more than 14,000 e-mails and hundreds of telephone calls from Earnhardt fans protesting a request by a central Florida newspaper to get the autopsy photos.
The Senate bill would not affect written autopsy records, King said. Teresa Earnhardt wrote to King on Monday asking that a bill be filed.
"I do not believe that any bereaved
family should be forced to allow access to photographs of deceased loved ones, particularly since complete information is available through written autopsy records," she said in her letter.
But Barbara Petersen, executive director of the First Amendment Foundation in Tallahassee, said the restrictions would be a mistake.
"A report can be slanted," Petersen said. "A medical examiner can be under political and public pressure. A photograph cannot be. This is not about Dale Earnhardt, it's about public oversight and creating an exception to the Constitution."
Earnhardt was killed in a crash Feb. 18 at the Daytona 500. Teresa Earnhardt sued Volusia County four days later to stop release of the medical examiner's photos. The next day, an Orlando Sentinel reporter made a public-record request for the pictures.

Ramey recommended the experience to anyone who had considered writing.
Ramey, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said he had enjoyed his time as a student playwright.
"This has been a wonderful experience for myself and everyone involved," he said. "For the first time I have been able to see the playwriting process each step of the way like I have never been able to before."
"I can't think of any other place where a person is able to see their own works get directed and produced in such a professional manner," he said.
"They see the productions and are then given feedback sheets where they are encouraged to jot down ideas while voting for their favorite play." Lim said. "It's fun because the fans really end up getting into the spirit of the event."
The English Alternative Theatre will present its Final Four competition of one-act plays written by students, giving writers the chance to see a staged reading of their play and audience members a chance to vote for their favorite.
Although the productions are staged readings and not full-blown performances, Lim said the objective behind the EAT competition was to nurture the works of successful playwriting students. Lim also said it allowed students to see the playwriting process firsthand and was fun for the audience, which determined the winner.
The performances are at 8 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday at 100 Smith Hall. Admission is free.
Chace Ramey's play When it Rains will go against Nathan K. Gonzales' Running with the Big Dogs tomorrow. Joanna Davis' The Waiting Game, will go against Sean Stacy's Thresholds Saturday. The winners will compete in a championship round Sunday.
Each fall, students of Paul Stephen Lim, professor of English, write a one-act play that is between 40 and 45 minutes long. At the semester's end, Lim awards four authors the opportunity to compete in the Final Four for a cash prize of $100.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Iowa State's Tinsley garners Big 12 honor
AMES. Iowa — Forget the points, assists, steals and Jamaal Tinsley's other stats.
These are the most important numbers for the Iowa State point guard — 57-9 and two. The first figure is Iowa State's record in Tinsley's two seasons on the team. The second is the number of Big 12 Conference regular season championships the Cyclones have won in that time.
That's why Tinsley was named the Big 12 Conference player of the year yesterday.
"I haven't seen every game that's ever been played," said Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy, who was named the Big 12's coach of the year. "But I don't know who ever in the history of Iowa State has impacted winning more than Jamaal Tinsley."
Tinsley was an overwhelming choice for the award by a media panel, receiving 18 of the 21 votes after leading Iowa State to a 25-4 regular-season record. Oklahoma State's Maurice Baker got two votes and Missouri's Kareem Rush one.
Baker, who transferred from Dixie College in Utah, was chosen the
league's newcomer of the year. Iowa State's Jake Sullivan was named freshman of the year.

BIG 12 CONFERENCE
Big 12 tourney begins today
GAME 1
No. 8 Baylor (17-10, 6-10 Big 12) vs.
No. 9 Colorado (15-14, 5-11). noon.
Baylor is coming off its most productive season in the Big 12 Conference since 1998, when the Bears won eight conference games. This year, the Bears' résumé includes a home victory against Kansas. Baylor is 2-2 lifetime in the first round of the tournament but is 0-2 when it has advanced to the quarterfinals.
"We know we'll have to be on top of our game," said Baylor coach Dave Bliss.
Colorado has also split its four opening round games of the tournament and, similar to Baylor, has failed to extend its season past the quarterfinals. The Buffaloes have been up and down all season and lost their only meeting with Baylor, 61-55, in Boulder, Colo.
The winner gets a stay of execution because top-seeded Iowa State is waiting to bury either of these teams Friday.
Texas Tech, which somehow managed to wrestle the "Worst team in the Big 12" title away from Texas A&M by losing both games to the Aggies, doesn't have much going for it. The Red Raiders didn't win a conference road game all season and will most likely be back in Lubbock. Texas, for close tomorrow,
GAME 2
No. 5 Oklahoma State (19-8, 10-6) vs.
No. 12 Texas Tech (9-18, 3-13), 2:20 p.m.
Oklahoma State ended the regular season playing a brutal five games in 11 days. The Cowboys won four of those games and finished the regular season winning five of its last seven.
The Cowboys will rely on guard Maurice Baker, who was voted First Team All.Big 12.
The winner gets a quarterfinal matchup with fourth-seeded Texas.
GAME3
No. 7 Nebraska (14-15, 7-9) vs. No. 10 Kansas State (10-17, 4-12) 6 p.m.
Nebraska is hoping experience will pay off this week. Two starters, seniors Cookie Belcher and Kimani Friend, were named to the Second and Third Team All-Big 1.2 squads. However, a sprain of Friend's medial collateral ligament earlier this month may keep him on the sidelines for the entire tournament.
Translation: Missouri rolls the Aggies and advances to play third-seeded Oklahoma tomorrow.
But Nebraska coach Barry Collier said he was hopeful Friend could be back if Nebraska managed to win a game or two.
"Eventually you play on this injury," Collier said. "There's been very little, if any swelling. That's why it's possible he'll play this week."
Kansas State, which relies on balanced scoring, can take advantage of its size down low with the absence of Friend. Forward Matt Siebrandt, who averages 10 points, could have a big day if the Wildcats make him the focal point of the offense.
— Zac Hunter
The winner squares off against second-seeded Kansas tomorrow. The Jayhawks are a combined 4-0 against Nebraska and Kansas State this season.
Rush may be a problem for the Aggies. Then again, so might everything else the Tigers do. Two of Texas &M&M's three victories came via Texas Tech, and the Aggies haven't won a game outside of Texas since December.
GAME 4
No. 6 M Missouri (18-11, 9-7) vs. No. 11.
Texas A&M (9-18, 3-13). 8:20 p.m.
"The type of player he is, you don't expect him to continue to do that," Texas A&M coach Melvin Watkins said. "It makes it difficult to match up. It makes them a better team."
It turns out Missouri swingman Kareem Rush, voted First Team-All Big 12, is not the same player he was before injuring his thumb nearly a month ago. Rush struggled from the field, going one-for-seven, in the Tigers' season finale loss at Kansas. However, Rush was able to put the ball on the floor and create his own shot, which makes Missouri dangerous.
Athletics department
Despite cuts, budget to increase

Kansas athletics director Bob Frederick said he was sorry about cutting men's tennis and men's swimming and diving from the athletics department budget.
He also said there were no "prospects for significant revenue sources on the horizon."
But despite the Athletic Department saving $600,000 from next year's budget and $3.6 million during the next five years by cutting both men's sports, the athletics budget is expected to increase by $5 million in the same time span. Forty percent of the increase is devoted to football, according to budget projections released to the Kansas Athletics Corp
released last weekend.
The department plans to increase football coaches' salaries by $200,000 in fiscal years 2003 and 2004. Kansas football coaches are the lowest paid in the Big 12 Conference.
Projections for fiscal year 2006 show the football team spending $6.74 million — 24 percent of the projected athletic budget
A. B. M.
compared to a projected $4.4 million for fiscal year 2001. The amount it brings in, however, is expected to drop about $70,000 in the next five years, the *Laurence*
Frederick: Said no prospects for revenue in sight
"The football program projections are always conservative estimates," Frederick said.
Journal-World reported.
He also said the department hoped the actual revenue the football team would generate would be greater than the estimates in the budget.
The men's swimming and diving and tennis teams are projected to spend $653,520 combined this season, and the two women's teams are slated to spend a combined $798,740.
Men's basketball makes the most money for the department, and is expected to pull in $4.74 million in fiscal year 2001 and spend $1.83 million.
Frederick said one-third of the athletic budget came from the football program through money from the Big 12 and its
own revenue.
But the money other sports may bring in is no consolation to the players and coaches, both past and present, of the teams that were cut.
"I will never return for an alumni weekend," said former Kansas tennis player Michael Center.
Center played at Kansas from 1982-86 and is now the men's tennis coach at Texas.
"My kids won't hear me talk about Kansas tennis," Center said. "People in the future won't experience what I did. I wish this would not have happened. Everyone take a breath and imagine KU without basketball. That is what I feel like today."

Jayhawks focused on success heading into postseason play

Kansan sportswriter
The prom of the college basketball season, the NCAA Tournament, starts a week from today.
But before they can go to the Big Dance, the No. 9 Jayhawks will have their spring formal — the Big 12 Conference Tournament, which starts today at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
Four games tip off today, beginning with Colorado against Baylor at noon and Texas Tech against Oklahoma State at 2:20 p.m. In the nightcaps, Kansas State plays Nebraska at 6 p.m., and Texas A&M battles Missouri at 8:20 p.m.
All eight of these teams must win four consecutive games to be crowned champions, and Kansas coach Roy Williams said he knew that was difficult.
"I don't want to try to do it because that means you haven't done as well in the regular season," said Williams, whose team was seeded fifth last season but is second this season. "We had a couple years where there was one of the teams in the finals that was playing their fourth day in a row. But playing three days in a row or four days in a row, both can be pretty tough."
Regardless, Williams said anything was possible as long as the situation was right and certain things fell into place.
"I think it can be done." he said
The Jayhawks (23-5, 12-4 Big 12) will arrive fashionably late to the conference dance because they, along with No. 7 Iowa State, No. 16 Oklahoma and Texas, earned the top four seeds in the tournament and don't play until tomorrow
Gooden said he hoped a few more victories would come later in the weekend and hinted at a possible rematch with Iowa State on Sunday.
Kansas will play at 6 p.m. tomorrow against the winner of the K-State-Nebraska game. The Jayhawks have defeated both teams twice this year, and sophomore forward Drew Gooden said he was confident a victory tomorrow would be in store for the 'Hawks.
"We'll roll up to Kansas City on Friday and play our game," Gooden said. "Hopefully we win and we should do well in the tournament."
Tomorrow, Iowa State will play the winner of Colorado-Baylor. The Cyclones beat Colorado both times the teams met this year and defeated Baylor in their lone meeting. An Iowa State victory would set up a possible rematch with Texas, who blew out the Cyclones two weeks ago in Austin, Texas.
Whomever the 'Hawks have to play, Gooden said he was confident his team could win the Big 12 Tournament and do damage in the NCAA Tournament.
"We have the potential," Gooden said.
"We have a lot of talent. We've got so much talent on this team that if we just play hard and take that out on the court and be competitive, we can go a long way."
Williams said at various times his team had shown the potential Gooden spoke of, but the Jayhawks still needed to put the whole package together if they hoped to succeed in the Big Dance.
"We haven't played our best and I'm hoping it's in front of us," Williams said. Edited by Brandy Straw

Hapless 'Hawks lose finale
By Jessie Meyer sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas' turbulent season came to a close yesterday with an 80-61 loss to Oklahoma in a heartbreaking game indicative of its season.
The top-seeded Sooners picked up their first Big 12 Conference Tournament victory since the league began, eliminating the ninth-seeded 'Hawks from the tournament and squelching any hopes Kansas had at making its 10th straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
"We just didn't have enough," said Kansas coach Marian Washington, after her team finished the season 12-17 overall and 5-11 in the Big 12. "But I couldn't be prouder. I am the luckiest coach in America."
The Jayhawks, fatigued from Tuesday's first-round game against Oklahoma State, could not keep up with the fast-paced game the balanced Oklahoma team maintained in the first half in Municipal Auditorium. After the 'Hawks scored the first basket of the game, No. 7 Oklahoma (25-4, 15-1) exploded on a 13-0 run.
taking a lead it would never relinguish.
Ignited by sharpshooters Rosalind Ross and Sunny Hardeman, who each buried four three-point baskets, the Sooners dominated the offensive end of the game and forced Kansas to expend much of its energy defending the fast break.
Although senior center Jaclyn Johnson led Kansas with 21 points, she could not counter-balance four Sooners in double figures and 21 Oklahoma offensive boards.
With Oklahoma in a shooting slump, Kansas pulled to within eight midway through the second half but failed to close the gap.
The Sooners' 16th straight victory ended the careers of Kansas seniors Jackson, Johnson and
"We just didn't capitalize," senior guard Jennifer Jackson said. "That was one of the things that hurt us down the stretch."
And with that, the Sooners regained composure and pulled away, with Big 12 player of the year Stacey Dales sealing the game with a steal and layup that brought Oklahoma's lead to 20 with 5:57 to play.
forward Brooke Reves, and red-shirt junior Nikki White, who has decided not to return to the team next year.
Washington, with tear-filled eyes, credited her senior class for carrying the team and helping to salvage parts of this season.
"Had it not been for them, it would have been a very tough year," Washington said. "They fought every game. I think they've left a tremendous legacy."
But Johnson credited the seniors' supporting cast for stepping up with extra points at certain times this season.
"We probably carried this team emotionally," Johnson said. "But not necessarily with points every game."
Even without the backbone of this Kansas team next season, Washington said she was optimistic about next year's team.
But the Jayhawks have a long road ahead of them without this year's main scoring threats.
"This too shall pass," Washington said. "It makes me more determined to get things right on track."

BLUES
Spinnin' 'round town

Local DJs keep the beat for the love of music
The first tape Seth Roberts owned was the Beairst Jrovs' License to Ill.
Roberts, who often finishes Gyles's sentences, chimed in
"My Dad brought it home and it all started," the Lawrence senior said. License to Ill ignited Roberts' love of music.
"Exactly," he said, "So we might as well do it in a public place."
"We'd be sitting here playing music anyway," said Gyles, a Lawrence resident.
Both Roberts and Gyles are into hip-hop and underground hip-hop. They throw around names like Ugly Duckling, Jurassic 5, De La Soul and — of course — the Beastie Boys.
"We're trying to get the underground hip-hop out there, trying to keep people away from the crap rap," Gyles said. "I'm really tired of going out to the other clubs and hearing the same songs played day after day, week after week."
After collecting stacks of CDs and constantly playing music for his friends at parties, Roberts' passion for music turned into a weekly disc jockey gig at Brown Bear Brewing Co., 729 Massachusetts St., with his friend and roommate, Jason Gyles.
Hip-hop vibes provide the rhythm for DJ-dedicated revelers. Dis jockeys Seth Roberts, Lawrence senior, and

Gyles said DJing was a hobby he started when Brown Bear bought DJ equipment. Though Roberts and Giles use their own CDs, they said buying their own equipment was too expensive.
"We went over to his house one night and just messed around on his CD player," Roberts said. "Then we just took it from there."
Though Roberts and Gyles have only been DJing at Brown Bear for a month, they said the response to their music style was attracting attention.
"When we started one month ago, it was basically just our friends," Roberts said. "Last week we had a full dance floor, so it's
getting bigger."
"Those other DJs probably don't know Ugly Duckling and Pharcyde," Bailey said. "These guys play stuff that might not be the most recent — but definitely has lasting quality."
Ryan Bailey, Lawrence senior, is one of the hip-hop lovers packing the dance floor. He said he liked Gyles and Roberts' hip-hop style.
Like Gyles and Roberts, Curtis McCoy, Des Moines, Iowa, sophomore, got into the world of DJing because of his passion for music. McCoy said he played at parties and at Open Mike Night at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. He's also the Saturday morning DJ for Breakfast for Beatlovers on KJHK, 90.7 FM.
Although McCoy said he eventually would like to specialize in DJing at clubs, right now he doesn't have a regular time or place. But McCoy said where somebody plays doesn't really matter — a true DJ is just someone interested in getting people to listen to music.
"Everyone thinks that DJs today are just people that will play at a club or bar traditionally geared toward dance," he said. "But true DJs are all about the music, learning about music and playing music on a constant basis."
McCoy doesn't have a favorite type of music to play when he spins; he plays what he thinks best fits the mood.
"Music is so varied," he said. "You can play so many kinds of music. I try not to limit myself."
Unlike Roberts and Gyles who spin using CDs, McCoy uses turntables and records. He estimated that he has spent thousands of dollars on equipment and his collection of more than 400 records.
He said when he was spinning at a party and could see the affect the music was having on people, the price of his equipment was worth it.
Roberts agreed.
Although DJing is fun, McCoy said it could be hard work.
"If there's nobody dancing, I'm still having fun," he said. "But when you know you're entertaining people, it makes it even better."
"Sometimes it will flow and you don't even have to think about it," he said. "But sometimes the record stops and you don't have something cued, or you're digging for another record and the record stops. It happens — you want it not to happen — but there's so much going on. You're trying to listen and pick the next record at the same time."
McCoy said he wanted to have a job in the music industry, and DJing was something he took seriously.
"A lot of people just want to be a DJ because it's fashionable or commercially viable," he said. "But those people won't be DJs 40 years from now that have collections or try to get into music."
Much like Roberts and Gyles, McCoy said music would be a huge part of his life even if he wasn't always a DJ.
"I really couldn't live without music," he said. "That's the one thing that if it was taken away from me I wouldn't know what to do."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 8).
Partnership is your theme this year. Renew your vows, and refresh your views. A confrontation in March is good for you; it could lead to more money in April. Good sense saves you in May. Use what you have to get what you want at home in June. Take another honeymoon in July. Follow your partner's instincts in September. Push through to success in December. Face your fears and dissolve them in February.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
There's trouble at first, but eventual success.
The job you've taken on looks impossible, but,
it's not. What you learn could be useful and
profitable later. Allow for extra time to get
things done.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
You hate to be the guy who's always saying no, but you may be him today. Your sweetheart or a child wants too much, and you can't afford it. But something you find late tomorrow could satisfy you both.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Don't get impatient with an older person and a younger person who both demand your time.
You don't have much time for yourself now, but make your escape this weekend.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Separate from a controversy that's raging in your neighborhood or at work. Changes are adding to the unrest, but the situation will improve. Advise others to be patient, and do the same yourself.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
Everybody's after your money. You'd like to comply, but don't. Your kids or your sweetheart want something, and your favorite charity wants something else. Pay bills first.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
Your good ideas are facing resistance. Take other people's opinions into consideration to succeed. Compromise, but don't give in on the most important stuff.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 5.
Work smart instead of harder. Instead of driving across town for something, ask the store to mail it. You'll have more time to be with your sweetheart, which is really what you want.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
You're wondering how to get the money that your favorite group wants. Share the burden, instead. Mastermind a fund-raiser; that's where your real talent lies.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
A controversy rages around you that could lead to more work. Make sure it's the kind you enjoy, and that you get paid what you're worth.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
Don't move too quickly on preliminary information; it may not be the whole story. Your adds of success are great, but don't launch until you're sure. It might take until tomorrow to find out.

Iconz offers mediocre Florida gangsta rap

Iconz, a group of rappers from

producers says in the group's bio, "We're out to build superstars and our first disc sets the stage." They claim to tell it like it is — the good and the bad — while letting you know they will represent M-I-A-M-I 'til the day they die.
With a melody very similar to DMX's "Stop Being Greedy," lconz presents a South meets Nelly bounce in "1 Represent." As they represent Florida, they flow on beats that stay down south but have a touch of Dr. Dre creativity. All the standard southern Gangsta Rap anthems are present, such as "You a Trick," "Get...Up," and
"Representin' the South." but the diverse production often upstages the consistently aggressive lyrics.
Overall, the Ionz present a tightly produced album you can easily get crunched to. They represent Florida in their chosen style, but as a guy who cares more about creativity and progress than locale, I can't get down with the Ionz Street Money. But you know, do your dhang...
Chemistry enthusiastic blend of melodies
Miles Bonny
Semisonic Chemistry (MCA)
The three-man band famous for the omnipresent "Closing Time" has returned, with a musically vibrant album. Chemistry (to be released Tuesday, March 13) blends uneven, upbeat rockers with a handful of fine ballads, all enthusiastically performed by lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Dan Wilson, drummer Jacob Sliccher and bassist John Munson.
The album's opening track,
"Chemistry," has rock-radio hit
written all over it. It's a bit too slick.
really, it sounds fabulous on first listen, but after a few months of heavy rotation, it could cause homicides.
Much better, if slightly less catchy, is the anguished balladry of "Act Naturally."
THE HISTORY OF THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY.
The best track on the album is Wilson's collaboration with legendary singer-songwriter Carole King. While the 50-something King might seem like an odd fit for the group, "One True Love" is a gorgeous song. Wilson and King harmonize on the chorus, and her electric piano drives the song's ingratiatingly angular melody.
Naturally," one of the
few times Wilson dips below the arena-rock surface of the rest of the album.
It's a transcendent moment on an album that — despite its considerable verve and charm — could use a few more.
TV show to feature local brews
Clay McCuistion

Jayplay writer
A public television documentary, calling itself "a beer love story," is an hour-long program that looks at the history of beer and the impact of the local beer industry.
Tapping Kansas City, which first aired Sunday night, will air again tonight at 9:30 on KCPT Channel 7.
Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., is one of several influential Kansas City-area breweries mentioned in the program.
Owner Chuck Magerl said the opening of Free State in 1989 helped revive the concept of smaller, local breweries.
"In the 1870s, there were a hundred breweries in Kansas, and by 1777 there were certainly none," Magerl said. "It was really historical research that prompted us to start this business."
Soon after, other microbreweries in the area began gaining popularity.
"No one between Chicago and Denver was doing what we were doing here," Magier said. "We were kind of the ones who got everyone scratching their heads and saying, 'A brewery?'"
Eight years later, Sports Page Breery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, opened its doors.
Sports Page manager Bill Saleh said there were advantages to a local brewery instead of a larger distributor.
"We make everything fresh here — there's no additives," Saleh said. "It's an old style of making beer."
Tapping Kansas City explores several aspects of the history of beer, including everything from how it's made to how it's celebrated in the Kansas City area.
Magerl said Lawrence breweries had an important role in the Kansas

City beer industry, despite operating on a smaller scale.
"So much of what we focus on here is the style and the flavor of the beer," Magerl said. "Those are concerns on a daily level, rather than marketing and distribution like some of the larger companies."

Nebraska TV station angers Survivor fans
LINCOLN, Neb. — Fans of Survivor have put up with animal killings, backbiting and strange contestants. But they won't put up with basketball.
Local Survivor II addicts who looked at the weekly TV listings were alarmed to see that CBS affiliates in Lincoln and Omaha would be showing the Big 1.2 Conference basketball tournament tonight instead of their favorite show.
The show will still air tonight, but not at its regularly scheduled time. It will be shown on tape-delay after the Nebraska-Kansas State game.
Nancy Smith, programming director at KMT-VT in Omaha, said calls started coming in last week.
Real estate sale reveals Mafioso's bad taste
Both stations will show tonight's late Texas A&M-Missouri game on tape delay after Survivor II. The rest of the CBS prime-time shows will air early tomorrow morning.
"Oh yeah, it's been a real headache," she said. "The Survivor people were ridabid about having it on."
MILWAUKEE — The Godfather it wasn't.
Lincoln's KOLN-TV and KMTV have contracted annually with ESPN to carry the Big 12 Tournament, which runs today through Sunday.
Bargain hunters picked through reputed mob boss Frank Balistrieri's bookshelves, closets, wine cellar and underwear drawer during a real estate sale Monday at Balistrieri's home.
"For a mob boss, he sure had poor taste," said Jim Huber, one of the first in line.
Ballistarieri, also known as Mr. Big, was rumored to run organized crime in Milwaukee until he died in 1993 at age 74, just 15 months after being released from federal prison.
He and his wife, Antonina, raised four children in the 85-year-old Italianate house, including sons Joe and John, who also did time in federal prison.
No one has lived in the house for years. Open House Estate Sales opened the place to the public Monday after it was sold. It was assessed at $428,000 last year.
Many of the people in line since midnight Sunday didn't know they were about to step into something out of a Martin Scorsese movie.
"Most people either don't know or don't care anymore," said Gary Otto, a regular at estate sales.
Mr. Big's leather monogrammed satchel went for $9, his fedoras for $5. Closets were full of his silk and polyester pinstiped suits and next to a book on criminology was a medical journal titled "Peptic Ulcer."
Obituary innovator finds death a brisk business
CHICAGO — When Troy Hall went to his uncle's funeral, he took one look at the obituary his relatives had written with the help of the funeral home and knew something had to be done.
"There was no personal touch," he said. "So he went home and wrote a
new version, detailing fond memories about his uncle.
Hall realized he was onto something and, in 1993, started a business on Chicago's South Side — simply called The Obituary Store.
"It seemed to me if you need furniture,you go to the furniture store, and if you need groceries,you go to the grocery store,so if you need an obituary,you go to the obituary store," said Hall,who has worked in insurance and run a small desktop publishing company.
Since he began the business, Hall estimates his company has helped families write 12,000 obtuiances. In the months to come, he plans to take the business national, via an obtuiary Web site.
The Obituary Store provides a form on which families can give basic information such as name, birth date, death date, schooling and survivors. He also collects stories of the deceased.
He charges anywhere from $95 to nearly $800.

Verdi's elaborate AIDA arrives
By Brandon Stinnett joyplay@kanson.com joyplay writer
Musically inclined students looking for a taste of European culture can be satisfied this Sunday at the Lied Center.
Theatrical Performance
Gluseppe Verdi's opera AIDA will be presented by the Teatro Lirico D'Europa opera company.
AIDA is a tale of love and betrayal set in ancient Egypt. The title character is an Ethiopian slave who loves an army officer. A jealous princess stands between them, as Egypt and Ethiopia engage in war.
The New York City Opera, which usually makes a yearly stop at the Lied Center, is not touring this year, which left the door open for the critically acclaimed, European-based opera.
"The Lied Center has a long history of bringing in a front line, fully-staged opera every year," said Karen Lane Christilles, interim associate director of the center. "It's a really expensive undertaking, but it's part of our commitment to making sure the community gets a chance to see a fully-staged opera every year."
SHOWTIME
The show is part of the Teatro Lirico D'Europa's
The Teatro Lirico D'Europa will perform AIDA at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Lied Center
- **Tickets are $16 and $19**
  for students; $32 and $38
  for general admission
Characters from the opera Aida act out a scene. The Giuseppe Verdi opera will be performed at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Lied Center. Contributed Photo
second major tour in the United States. AIDA includes 50 musicians, a chorus of 45 trained singers and a professional ballet ensemble of eight dancers.
Sunday's performance will be Teatro Lirico D'Europa's first in Lawrence, but Christilles said local opera enthusiasts knew of its reputation.
Christilles said operas typically were not events that attracted college students, but everyone should experience an opera at least once.
"University is a time to
expose yourself to things
and places that you would
never expect to go," shesaid.
Though operas might turn students off because of the performers' unique musical style, Christilles said people would enjoy looking at the elaborate costumes and sets.
"At its most basic level, opera is just a decadent art
form," she said. "It's grand in every aspect."
The professionally trained performers, whose voices are capable of amazing feats, are another reason to attend, Christilles said.
"It makes you ask. 'How can it be that human beings can make a sound that is so incredible?' she said. "It's
almost unbelievable."
Tama Aga, Overland Park sophomore, became an opera fan after coming to the University of Kansas last year.
"It's kind of like a sub-culture," Aga said. "You go get dressed up and go listen to a performance. It's relaxing."
Aga said he also enjoyed listening to opera singers' musical styles.
"It's romantic," he said. "It's not like all the music you hear everyday."

Airline strike a possibility, could affect spring break
By Sarah Warren
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas spring break this year will be Bryce Crady's last, so the Lawrence senior has planned to all out and will head to Acapulco, Mexico, with his buddies.
But disgruntled airline employees could cause some turbulence in Cradd's trip south of the border.
Possible strikes are brewing at four major airlines, which could put a damper on anyone — especially spring break travelers — in the coming weeks. Delta, Northwest, United and American airlines are each negotiating with upset employees in attempts to avoid strikes.
Northwest's mechanics are the group most likely to strike. According to the airline's Web site, the mechanics announced this weekend that they would strike Monday if contract negotiations had not been determined.
The mechanics will be legally able to walk off the job because the 30-day "cooling off" period will end on that day.
Cindy Kurczewski, a representative for Delta, said Delta had been in talks with its pilots union since last year and now the airline and the union await a decision from the National Mediation Board. If the board releases the two parties from negotiations, it could result in a strike.
If the negotiations are halted, then the board would offer binding arbitration and rejection of that offer could result in a 30-day cooling-off period, which is similar to the one about to expire with Northwest mechanics. Once the cooling-off period expires, the pilots would also be free to strike.
Kurczewski said that this would not affect the University's spring break because "nothing would happen within the next two weeks."
Meanwhile, according to a United Airlines press release, the Association of Flight Attendants chose last week to end talks with the airline about a proposed pay increase that would be additional to the current sum which was determined by a labor agreement that is in effect until March 1.2006
Crady said that he had considered himself lucky to be traveling with TWA until he heard that the airline had merged with American Airlines. American Airlines mechanics had been disrupting flights since their union, the Transport Workers Union, had been in talks with American since October.
"We're not down there yet, so something could still happen," Crady said. "I'll be pretty upset if we don't go because this is my last hurrah."
Retake policy approved
Only new grade will affect GPA
By Cassio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
- Edited by Doug Pacey
University Council approved yesterday by a 26.9 vote a course retake policy that will not factor into a student's grade point average the original grade of a D or an F in a course and will average the grades of students who receive an A, B or C the first time.
The proposal, which had been previously approved by the University Senate Executive Committee, was approved after the council had decided to delay its decision during its Feb. 22 meeting.
The retake policy will also allow students to retake courses in which they received a D or an F without any approval from the University.
Students will only be required to register with the dean of the school where the course is offered in order to prevent students with academic misconduct from benefitting from the new policy, said J.D. Jonkins, Shawnee senior and council member.
Jenkins said he was happy that the council had approved the policy.
"It will be a very positive change and a great benefit for students," he said.
Shannon Doyle, Baltimore graduate student and council member, introduced an amendment to reduce the number of courses that a student can retake from five to three. The amendment failed by a 19:14 vote.
The policy was created in the fall of 1999. It was then introduced to the academic policies and procedures committee, to SenEx and to University Council.
The policy was then 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.
At the council's last meeting, McCluskey-Fawcett suggested an amendment to the original proposal. The amended proposal will allow students only to retake a course
POLICY CHANGE
What happened: The University Council approved a revised course retake policy yesterday.
What it means: If approved by the University administration, students will be able to retake courses in which they received a D or F without the original grades being figured into their grade point averages.
What's next? The policy will be forwarded to the administration for consideration unless at least 50 professors sign a petition to have the University Senate consider it first at its Thursday, April 12 meeting.
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, director of the freshman-sophomore advising center, defended the new policy at yesterday's meeting. Tuttle said the policy was good because the average student would benefit from it.
aken during the first 60 hours of their college careers to boost retention
"These issues need to be addressed by students, who should have responsibility, but also by the University," she said.
Tim Shaftel, professor of business, said
the proposal was not friendly to students or to the University.
"This is a poor way of approaching the retention issue," he said.
Shafft said he would contact professors in the School of Business and decide if he would take action against the policy.
"It depends on how strongly people feel about it," Shafte said.
But Shafel added that he had talked with his colleagues in the past and that more than 20 of them were against the new policy.
After members of the University Senate get official notice of yesterday's vote in the next 10 working days, they have another 10 working days to submit petitions for a review by the senate. If professors get 50 signatures, the proposed course retake policy will be discussed at the University Senate's Thursday, April 12 meeting; if they get 100, a mail ballot will be distributed to its members.
Otherwise, the policy will be forwarded to the University administration for final approval or rejection.
Opponents of the policy still have options to fight it.

Black Student Union protests minority coverage in Kansan
Conflict brews on campus
By Lauren Brandenburg writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer

A about 100 students, most of whom were African-American, distributed fliers to students on campus late yesterday afternoon and marched through the University Daily Kansan newsroom to protest the Kansan's coverage of minorities.
Courtney Bates, Black Student Union president, said the African-American community was disappointed that the campus newspaper poorly covered the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government, which was at the University the weekend of Feb. 23-24. The students were also disappointed in the Kansan's response to their concerns. Bates said.
After the Kansan run an article Feb. 25,
titled "Fight fails to derail minority conference",
"organizers of the conference contacted Lori O'Toole, Kansan editor."
Four Kansan editors, a readers representative and the multicultural reporter met with about 30 students who represented the conference, BSU and the African-American community March 1, to discuss the Kansan's coverage of the conference.
The conference organizers requested that the Kansan run a front page apology or correction for its coverage. Kansan staff members discussed the request and decided the next day that no apology or correction was warranted because the article was factually
accurate, O'Toole said. She hand-delivered letters later that day to the BSU, the Multicultural Resource Center, and other multicultural organizations represented at the meeting. The letter suggested ways to
alleviate tension between the organizations and the Kansan but received no response.
"We're trying to be sensitive and trying to be responsive, but at the same time we can't do everything every student wants," "O'Toole said.
Mindie Miller, managing editor, said the Kansan covered the event the same way it would cover any other organization's event.
Yesterday, students in the peaceful protest distributed fliers saying that the Kansan "has consistently misrepresented the African-American community," with the most recent event being the conference coverage.
"It was not only because they didn't run the apology," said Natalie Lucas, co-chairwoman of the conference planning committee. "It was because they aren't making efforts to rectify the problem of the stereotypical portrayal of minorities in the UDK."
Lucas said it did not seem as if the Kansan was setting a standard of excellence in covering minority issues and programs. She said the way the Kansan covered minority programs and campus life reinforced negative stereotypes.
J. R. Roland, president of Black Men of Today, said the protest was not something the students had wanted to do but was a response to the Kansan not admitting its wrongs.
"Since they didn't do that, we wanted to let them know that just because we're few in number, we still have an effect," Roland said. "We can get things done on this campus."
He said the students would have been selfish if they had not protested to make the University a better place for the students

Organization promotes diversity
Diversity Peer Education Team aims to promote discussion about stereotypes
By Danny Phillips
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
Diversity doesn't always translate into large numbers.
The Wichita senior leads an intimate group of 10 student volunteers whose goal is to promote discussion at the University of Kansas about diversity issues through activities and evaluations.
“It’s been pretty effective with small groups,” said Edwards, who doesn’t want to reach the point where DPET starts becoming impersonal.
The organization does actively recruit new members, however, and at least five interested students attended a DPET meeting Wednesday night to learn what the team was about.
But that's just fine with Diversity Peer Education Team president Vincent Edwards.
Edwards told the prospects that the only requirement to join DPET was passion about diversity issues. That, and an "intense" four-hour training session next week, which will
immerse the newcomers and refresh the current members.
One of the curious students, Rachael Flaster, who learned of the group from an information table it set up in the Kansas Union, said after the meeting that she would probably join DPET because it seemed very active in the community and University.
DPET operates by facilitating presentations for different groups on campus, primarily pre-orientation courses for freshman, but Edwards said the team is versatile enough to cater the presentations to different audiences, such as KU staff members.
"I just like the idea of a group that works to promote diversity," said Flaster. Overland Park sophomore.
One activity, called "Take a Step," involves everyone standing in a line while holding hands. Then, depending on what question the DPET facilitators ask, the participants take one step backward or forward depending
He said the DPET volunteers use activities, which focus on power, stereotypes and terminology, to promote discussion about diversity issues.
Some of the questions include: "Take one step forward if most (75 percent) of your high school graduation class went to college," and "take one step back if you were one of the few people of your race in your high school."
on if the question applies to them. The activity is designed to illustrate the varying backgrounds of the participants.
DPET member Shane McCall, Topeca sophomore, said sometimes the groups laugh, which is discouraged, and other times they don't say much at all. But the goal is to "get people to take away something from it and anlyt it."
When the activity is over, the participants are supposed to look at where the rest of the class is standing.
The organization was founded in 1996 by KU student Amv Turnbull.
"We try to eliminate the type of stuff or reduce it as much as possible," he said.
Edwards said she was reacting to hate crimes and discrimination she saw on campus.

Delta Force uni Minority retention recruitment top list
By Brooke Hesler
Keeping with its activist approach, Delta Force announced its platform this week and urged the administration to keep its promises about increasing minority recruitment and retention.
Kansan staff writer
"If we as students make this a priority, it can really help the situation," said Justin Mills, Delta Force student body presidential candidate.
Increased recycling on campus, better student seating in Allen Fieldhouse, more student input in the Parking Department and support for graduate teaching assistants in their negotiations with the University for higher pay are other issues the coalition is focusing on.
But Mills and Kyle Browning, student body vice presidential candidate, said increasing minority recruitment and retention was a huge priority. Browning said the coalition is still meeting to narrow the specifics about how to accomplish the goal.
While Mills and Browning said they considered minority recruitment and retention a long-term goal, the coalition will need help from students and faculty.
Still, he said he was aware that a tight budget affected hiring this year.
Mills said increasing the number of minority faculty was one way for the University to attract more minority students.
Mills said the coalition would also work to see recycling around campus increased. He said the office of recycling and resource conservation was understaffed and under budgeted right now. Both Browning and Mills said they would like to see more recycling bins around campus. Mills said allocating money to the department from the Student Senate Reserve Account was a possibility Delta Force was looking at.
"They're a huge entity that is held accountable to no one," Browning said. "They aren't responsive enough to students."
He said he would also like to see the Parking Department held more accountable to students.
Better student seating in Allen Fieldhouse is also something the coalition wants to address. Mills said he was satisfied with the number of student seats available, but he thought the location could be better. He said the group is pursuing the issue with the Athletic Department.

Phi Kappa Theta fire ruled an act of arson
Fire officials have determined that arson was the cause of a Feb. 28 fire at the vacant Phi Kappa Theta fraternity house, 1941 Stewart Ave., said Rich Barr, fire marshal for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical.
Barr said investigators had determined how the fire had been set, but that information could not be released as long as the district attorney's office had not yet pressed charges against the three suspects.
The district attorney's office was deciding yesterday on whether to press charges against the suspects.
"We believe that they were involved in setting the fire." Barr said.
He also said yesterday investigators had come across another suspect whom they would "most likely" arrest.
Scott HILI, Prairie Village resident and president of the Alumni Board for the University of Kansas Phi Kappa Theta chapter, said he didn't 'think the alleged perpetrators' motive was to cause damage to Phi Kappa Theta in particular.
"I think they're just kids bent on destruction," he said.
Hill said the house's fire insurance had been terminated in November because the house was vacant. He said the board had been working on renewing the insurance before the fire. The house will now be sold. Hill said.

Fourth-grader killed, eaten by pack of dogs
ST. LOUIS - Ten-year-old Rodney McAllister was no match for the stray dogs that neighbors had complained about for days.
The fourth-grader was found mauled to death by a pack of dogs Tuesday. Bite wounds covered most of his body and pieces of his clothing were scattered around the park across the street from his home. The attack has horrified many in St. Louis and led to the jailing of the boy's mother for not keeping closer watch over him.
"He was literally eaten by the dogs." Police Chief Rion Henderson said.
Neighbors told police they heard the sounds of "suffering" Monday evening, two hours after Rodney told his mother he was going to play basketball in Ivory Perry Park.
Before Rodney's death, neighbors had complained about stray dogs in the area around the park. Just a few days earlier, two officers from the city's animal control division had responded to the complaints.
Nation's mayors upset with 2000 census count
SAVANNAH, Ga. — The nation's African-American mayors opened their annual convention yesterday by denouncing the Bush administration's decision to reject any adjustment of census numbers to make up for under-counts.
"There's not a soul in this nation, no respected voice anywhere, who disputes the fact that African Americans and people who live in cities were undercounted," said New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial at a news conference at the National Conference of Black Mayors.
Commerce Secretary Don Evans called the 2000 census count "the most accurate in history."
The Census Bureau estimates about 1.2 percent, or 3.3 million of the nation's 281 million people, went uncounted.
The African-American mayors said even a small undercount hurt cities with large minority populations by reducing their share of federal funds and state tax dollars, which are based on population.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — A man whose daughter was shot while having lunch in a school cafeteria said yesterday he didn't want the 14-year-old suspect to be charged as an adult.
Michael Marchese's daughter Kimberly, 13, was shot in the shoulder Wednesday in the cafeteria at Bishop Neumann Junior-Senior High School. A girl in eighth grade was charged as a juvenile in the shooting.
"What she did was wrong. But to be tried as an adult ... I disagree," he said.
Authorities said they would need to petition a court to charge the girl as an adult. They would not say whether they planned to do so.
Kimberly Marchese underwent surgery at Geisinger. Her condition was upgraded to satisfactory, and she was expected to be released today.
House approves plan for Bush's tax package
WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled House brushed aside a Democratic tax cut plan yesterday and marched toward a final vote on a more generous, $958 billion package of across-the-board cuts at the heart of President Bush's economic program.
Bush, in office only 48 days, said he was confident the House would "do the right thing" when it came time to vote on the leading edge of his overall $1.6 trillion tax cut plan.
A few hours later, Republicans demonstrated their control of the House floor in the Democratic alternative was rejection on a vote of 273-155.
Approval of Bush's plan would send the bill to an uncertain fate in the Senate, where a pivotal bipartisan group of lawmakers has expressed concern about the 10-year price tag.
"Who among us can say that the economy doesn't need a little encouragement?" said Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-III., as the House debated the first priority piece of legislation of the new president.

Dorm rooms to add caller ID
By Amanda Begin

Kanson staff writer
Students who live in University residence halls will return to campus next fall with an added perk in their dorm rooms — caller identification.
By Amanda Bealin
Telephone wiring and other hardware that supports caller ID — a telephone attachment that identifies a caller's name and phone number when a phone rings—will be installed during the summer, according to Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor of information services.
Sgt. Troy Mailen, of the KU Public Safety Office, said this would lessen the number of phone harassment reports the office received.
That is good news to Meggon Horton, Lenexa freshman, and her roommate, who have been receiving harassing phone calls in their Oliver Hall room since Jan. 22. After more than a month of phone calls of silence and hang-ups, they filed a report with the office Monday.
"Someone will call, but they won't talk," Horton said. "Then they hang up and call again and again. It's really creepy. With caller ID, at least I'd know who was calling first and I could tell the police. That makes me happy."
Goodyear said students would pay an extra $4 in residence hall fees beginning next fall — mostly to compensate for the caller ID project, which will cost the Networking and Telecommunications
Meggan Horton
"Then they hang up and call again and again. It's really creepy."
Lenexa freshman
Services $350,000 to install. NTS has already ordered the installation equipment, Goodyear said.
She said students had requested caller ID service for a long time.
The issue was addressed by the student housing advisory board in December and caller ID was scheduled to be installed by fall 2001.
Goodyear said NTS had not yet decided if it would sell caller ID boxes to students.
Goodyear said NTS would announce its decision before the end of the semester.
"We are taking bids from commercial providers right now." Gooyear said. "If we can get them at a price lower than a place like Target or K-mart would sell them, we may get them that way."
Erin Wynkoop, Topeka freshman, said providing her own call box was not a problem.
"That's no big deal, most phones come with it built in anyway," Wynkoop said.

Students access classwork online
By Andrew Davies writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A few years ago, a blackboard was just a tool for teachers to write on during lectures.
But today, Blackboard is a software program that allows teachers to post class information on the Internet and gives students Web access to class documents, grades and class discussions.
The Blackboard program, which the University of Kansas began using last semester, has been embraced by faculty, said Susan Zvacek, director of instructional development and support.
Zvacek said more than 200 courses used Blackboard last semester. That number has increased this semester, as nearly 250 classes are using the program. Zvacek said 16,000 faculty and students have used Blackboard in the last two semesters.
"The faculty have been overwhelmingly positive," she said. "What the faculty are saying is that the features are more robust in Blackboard. It offers more in what the teaching can provide to students. It really is a package that allows far more flexibility as far as what you can do in the classroom."
Zvacek said teachers saw Blackboard as a way to give students resources that would be hard to provide without the service.
Isidro Rivera, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, uses Blackboard to post announcements, reviews, self tests, links to dictionaries and Web sites, and for class discussions.
Melissa Hartnett, Manhattan, Kan., freshman, is in Rivera's textual analysis and critical reading class. She said the class' Blackboard site had a class discussion forum that allowed interaction between class members.
"We can actually get online and chat in Spanish with the professor and other students in class," she said.
Rivera said Blackboard allowed students to see the right answer and receive feedback for their self tests.
"Students usually use that facility to test themselves on content, features of the language, things like that," Rivera said.
Hartnett said Rivera posted review quizzes and short-answer questions and graded them.
The quizzes and short- answers are part of a class
participation Hartnett said.
Hartnett said the quizzes were useful because they were available at any time.
Rivera said because the program was based on the English language, the system didn't process accent marks or special characters in foreign languages. But that may improve with updates to the software, he said.
Rivera said most students had a positive reaction to Blackboard, but some students had complaints.
"Some students have a problem because it is a Web-based activity that requires technology that supports browsing." he said.
Kelly Johnson, instructor of molecular biosciences, has used Blackboard since it became available last semester to post syllabi, handouts, notes and PowerPoint slides. He said displaying the PowerPoint slides allowed students to copy the slides down at their own convenience rather than hurriedly copying down notes.
Johnson said he liked Blackboard better than Web Course in a Box.
"Blackboard is simply much easier to use and to post things on the Web site. I think it has more versatility and it uses the Web," he said. "I think everyone likes it, at least on the faculty side."
Students also seem to have had a positive reaction to Blackboard.
Barry Cohen, New Orleans senior, said he used the system to make sure he was on top of his work in his communications classes.
"I just use it to get assignments and make sure I'm up to date with everything," Cohen said. "It's extremely helpful."
April Adkins, Kansas City, Kan., junior, uses Blackboard for her cognitive psychology class.
Adkins said she liked having access to her grades and the accessibility of the program.
"I like the fact that everybody has their own code. I think your grades are more confidential that way," she said. "I think it's really easy to access off campus — that's always nice."
The University pays a $5,000 annual licensing fee to Blackboard Inc., to use the program. The fee allows the campus officials to use Blackboard for an unlimited amount of classes and includes software upgrades.

Smoke but no fire
Ellsworth Hall residents were evacuated early yesterday morning because a fire alarm was pulled, but Battalion Chief Bill Spark said no fire was found.
"Usually we find the problem right away, but we had no clue where it was coming from," Spark said. "But we ventilated the floor by opening the windows, and the smoke didn't come back. We did an exhaustive search."
Carnaval comes to town
Major Chris Keary from the KU Public Safety Office said that campus police and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical responded to the alarm at 1:36 a.m. Spark said smoke was reported in the hallways on the ninth floor, but firefighters were unable to locate its source.
Spark said firefighters navigated the area using thermal imagery goggles and still were unable to locate a fire. Firefighters unbotted an abandoned trash chute to inspect for fire damage, but none was found.
Spark said the cause of the smoke was no longer being investigated.
"We think maybe someone had a trash can fire and put it out before we got there," Spark said. "We have some ideas what happened, but it's all speculation from here."

Sophomore Raquel Peres remembers the Carnavals of her childhood in Recife, Brazil. In an old part of the city, people blocked
off streets,
stopping cars from disturbing their 24 hour party throughout the week
BRAZILIAN WEEK
As the Carnaval begins its second decade in Lawrence, club members found a bigger location for the party. After routinely sell-
gized crowds of party-goers in cities throughout the nation as they celebrated Brazil's biggest holiday. The four-plus day festival allowed people a celebration before the season of Lent.
ing out at Liberty Hall, the event moved it to the Granada in the 1990s, but the Granada could not hold all those wanting to attend. The club opted for Abe and Jake's this year, allowing for 300 more people to attend. The 1,000 tickets available for the event were almost sold out by Wednesday.
Steve Milas, Burleson, Texas, graduate student, will attend the Carnaval for the third year. Doing research on Brazil, he learned about the party and decided to go. He has been hooked ever since by the music and people.
The Carnaval is not limited to Brazilians or Latin Americans.
"It definitely reminds me of home," Peres said of the Carnaval in Lawrence. "The Carnaval is mainly special because of the music. It makes everyone dance. It's so full of people ready to party."
While the Brazilian Carnival has already passed, the KU Brazil-Portugal Student Organization will hold a condensed version of the Carnival from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. tomorrow at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth Street. The one-night party will feature the music of the Chicago Samba School.
"It's not at the exact same time as the Brazilian Carnival," he said, "but it's around the same time. We are trying to keep the tradition. It puts a good ending mark on the week."
"It's definitely a good time," Milas said. "It's a good experience and definitely different than what people are use to. I don't know how exposed people are to Brazilian music. It's something people would definitely like. They just may have not heard it before."
"People have been calling us like crazy," said Mariana Souza, a Rio de Janeiro senior and vice president of the club.
Hayashi said the party was a "free for all" with people choosing to wear costumes or just dressing up for the big party. He said the gathering brought together diverse groups of people all wanting to enjoy a good party and Brazilian tradition, concluding Brazillian week.
Renzo Hayashi, Rio de Janeiro graduate student, has attended the celebration the past five years. He said it gave a chance for all Brazilians to get together, which doesn't happen often during the year. They listen to unique music while celebrating with people throughout the University and the community.
"Everyone has a ball." Hayashi said. "I see a lot of people from the University get excited about this when they usually don't get excited about parties."
Festivities for Brazilian week will continue today with a live music performance by the Brazilian band Malaka from noon to 1 p.m. outside the Kansas Union.
At 3:30 this afternoon at Woodruff Auditorium in the Union, the Golden Globe- and Oscar-winning film *Orfeu Negro* will be shown. The retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth is set during the time of the Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro.
"This is information you can't find in any books," said Bruno Pieroni, a Rio de Janeiro senior, president of the club and Kansan cartoonist. "You can get it straight from the Brazillian's mouth."
The day will conclude with Brazilian night, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., which will display both Brazilian and Portuguese food, art and culture.

who would attend after them.
"The goal is to not ever have to march again on an issue in the paper," Roland said.
Bates said the group wanted the Kansan to understand that the group was serious
"We want to see a resolution of the conflict between the Kansan and minority groups." Bates said.
Students handed out copies in the newsroom yesterday of a letter Bates and Lucas had written to the Kansan staff. The letter outlined a five-step plan of action the students wanted to see implemented. The steps included mandatory diversity training for the multicultural reporter, setting a precedent so switching staffs each semester would not contribute to mistakes, reporters attending the entire events they were covering, a staff member regularly attending the Training Interpersonal Professional Skills meetings and writing a plan to ensure a successful relationship with coverage of minority programs.
"The University Daily Kansan should know that if these solutions are not acted on in an appropriate manner then further action will be taken," the letter stated.
Lucas said the further action might include letters from the different Big 12 schools and campus administrators expressing their concern as well as writing letters to the people who rank the Kansan in competitions.
O'Toole said she was not sure which steps, if any, the paper would implement. One idea, she said, would be to have a regular focus group with the BSU members and Kansan staff for African-American students to voice their concerns about minority coverage. She said it would also be nice if the community used the opinion page to voice their perspective.
"I think we all need to sit down and talk." O'Toole said. "Right now it's just letters going back and forth, which perpetuates the barrier we're trying to break."

Football team deserves less not more funds
In the classic comedic silent film *The*
If the classic comedic silent film *The Freshman*, the protagonist matriculates at Tate College, described as a football stadium with a university attached. The KU Athletics Department seems bent on making that stereotype a reality.
It was no laughing matter when Bob Frederick, athletics director, announced that men's swimming and tennis were being cut, apparently so more money can be wasted on a football program that is a loser on and off the field.
Frederick said he was "broken hearted" about his decision, but hold the tears. He was at the controls — and looking through the periscope — when this submarine suddenly emerged to sink the two teams. Cry for the tennis players and swimmers who were set
swimmers who were set adrift.
Frederick claims he had no choice but to eliminate two men's sports because KU is SO committed to gender equity and can't cut women's teams. Or, less altruistically: Our hands are tied because Title IX (federal law) requires us to spend vast sums on women's games that never get on ESPN. Never mind that expenses are greater for one men's team — football — than for all KU women's sports.
Ted Frederickson guest columnist opinion@kansan.com
the death of these teams is a result of his stewardship of athletics. He masterminded the remodeling of Memorial Stadium, including construction of luxury boxes so rich donors could sip cocktails. He decided to install an expensive toy, the MegaVision, so fans could enjoy replays of Nebraska and K-State touchdowns. He raised ticket prices, never considering that higher prices for an already less-than-popular product could result in fewer fans. Now, he says the solution to a budget spiraling out of control is to spend more on the most costly sport: football.
Men's swimming and tennis programs cost $600,000 a year — a pittance in an athletics budget of more than $23 million. In contrast, football spends more than $4.4 million and is responsible for most of the $2.6 million in debt service and capital outlays. Football takes in only $2.3 million. It is a gross distortion to call football a revenue sport. Football has not paid for its own costs and does not provide a duree for other KU sports. It will always be a deficit sport rather than a revenue sport. Spending still more on football seems as wise as investing in dotcom stocks today on the NASDAQ.
Football has earned its bad reputation not just because teams lost on the field, but also because of player behavior off the field. I have yet to hear of a tennis player who sexually assaulted anyone, or an angry swimmer who busted through the drive-thru window at Taco Bell to retrieve a missing chalupa, or of athletes from either team robbing someone at gunpoint or stealing merchandise from a store
One of my students told me that she and her friends boycotted football games last fall after she read about the coach's lenient treatment of a player accused of groping a female soccer player. Another complained that burly football players regularly cut in line at Mrs. E.'s.
As studentathletes, football players don't seem to perform well on either side of the hyphen. I have had swimmers and tennis players in classes, and they have all been solid students. In contrast, when grade point averages are released for KU's athletic teams each year, the football team is usually at the bottom. Although I have had football players who did well in classes and were fine people, I have had many others who seemed to be majoring only in eligibility and quickly dropped when they learned what work was expected of them.
Football is deserving of less rather than more money. Evidence suggests the money isn't spent wisely. If the Athletics Department is hurting for money, does it make sense to house players in expensive Lawrence hotels the weekend of HOME games — as Coach Terry Allen does? Do players need new T-shirts each week imprinted with Allen's motivational messages?
If football can't cut its bloated spending, the best way the Athletics Department can balance its budget may be to do what the team's offense frequently does: Punt the football.
We don't need football to offer excellent teaching, important research and committed service.
(Question for the chancellor: Is it politically wise for you to sign on a plan to spend millions more on football when you are asking academic units to return $1.6 million this year and $2 million next year?)

Student-focused paper includes good,bad news
It is a rare occurrence that the Kansan becomes part of a story on its own front page. But in light of a protest yesterday, today's issue was one of those rare occurrences.
A group of more than 100 students, most of them African-American, marched silently in a single-file line through the Kansan newsroom yesterday after protesting our coverage on the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government.
Reporters, designers and editors like myself, most of us Caucasian, watched quietly as they dropped off copies of letters written by student representatives of the Big 12 Conference Planning Committee and copies of Kansan articles with "F" and "unacceptable" written across them.
Student protesters yesterday had also distributed letters on campus, addressed to "The University Community." The letter
This touches upon something all university newspapers must deal with — the fact that student journalists are attempting to cover their peers in an unbiased way. Although we mention successes of students and their events, we also fulfill the purpose of a newspaper: to publish newsworthy information. It is something I require my staff to do on a daily basis. And that will not stop.
said that Kansan staff members "are our peers, and rather than cover the successes of the story in the 'student newspaper,' they talked about newsworthy information."
Lori O'Toole

editor@kansan.com
The Kansan does not have many minorities on staff. That shortage is something we don't like but have tried to solve. Editors recruited members of campus organizations including the Black Student Union — to voice their perspectives in the
Kansan weekly by becoming members of the editorial board or columnists. To our disappointment, no one took our offer. However, it still stands for all students, including those in BSU.
Perhaps if BSU had representatives on our staff they would not feel that the Kansan always portrays them in a negative light, as I heard one member say on Channel 6 news last night. This was especially disappointing considering that only one week ago an African American student told us that our coverage of Black History Month events made him feel like he was on Cloud 9. It was also less than a month ago when a staff member of the Multicultural Resource Center sent us a letter that said, "in the area of multiculturalism and diversity. I think you are doing what's right."
However, it is clear that some of our readers are unhappy with the general attention we are giving them. And that's why last week Mindie Miller, managing editor, and I wrote and distributed a letter to BSU, the Multicultural Resource Center and other campus minority organizations to let them know that we are aware of their discontent. And that's why the Kansan plans to organize focus groups to discuss the issues of diversity in the Kansan and multicultural coverage. It's important to us, and that's why one of only 12 news reporters on staff is devoted entirely to covering multicultural issues.
Kansan staff members always like to hear that we are doing a good job covering students and the campus. But our job is not to make everyone happy. Our job is to be accurate, timely and thorough.
The Kansan supports diversity and wants a good relationship with the African-American community — as well as all other student communities. But the Kansan will continue to print the bad and good and should not apologize for it.

Editorial Team cuts could have been avoided
The Athletics Department could have cut corners elsewhere in its tight budget.
On Sunday, during the Senior Day gala at Allen Fieldhouse, Bob Frederick, athletics director, announced that the men's tennis and men's swimming and diving programs would be discontinued at the start of the 2001-2002 season. But canceling these two sports is unacceptable. There must be another solution.
Frederick cited a tight budget as the main reason for canceling the two sports; the cut would save the department approximately $3.6 million during the next five years, but the department made $4 million in profits in 2000.
Frederick said if athletes in the cut programs wanted to stay at the University of Kansas, they could keep their scholarships. He also said the department would help them find other schools where they could compete. It's unfortunate, however, that the cuts mean that some dedicated athletes must find another home.
The two cut teams rarely made a profit, but the department shares the blame for that. When one looks at the facilities where they train, which they must share with the entire student body, it is a feat in itself that they are willing to compete here at all. Texas A&M, by the way, has a world-class swimming facility, from which the school makes a profit.
The decision is plagued by fuzzy math. Two competitive sports are discontinued and the football team, whose stadium usually features a lot of empty seats, received another $2.3 million for next season. Ironically, the renovations at Memorial Stadium cost about $3.6 million — the amount that the department will save during the next five years from cutting the two teams.
The football team should not be solely to blame for the discontinuation of these sports. However, it is hard to see Frederick's rationale in canceling two competitive programs in the Big 12 Conference only to round and sink millions of dollars into a football program that has a tradition of being a conference doormat.
Neither of the cut teams has consistently attracted more than a handful of spectators. Now, students should go to show some school spirit and support for these two teams as they fade into the sunset.

To that person complaining about Nebraska in the paper the other day: I'm from Nebraska, and at least we're civilized enough to sell beer on Sundays and also to have not outlawed the teaching of evolution and scientific practice.

If KU had a contract with Charmin, there wouldn't be any toilet paper because people would be stealing it.

For all you people calling in about getting rid of the football team, if we drop the football team, we're out of the Big 12. Do you not want to play Missouri twice a year, K-State twice a year? What happens to all those traditions that are more important than swimming and tennis?

I volunteered for the stage crew for Rock Chalk Revue. It's the most miserable thing I've ever done.
We were just wondering how much the Athletics Department would save if it didn't have to spend money on tutors for the football team. We know that the swimming and diving team and tennis teams don't use them all the time because they're already smart.

Guns aren't an enormous problem in this country; crazy people are. Everyone should be on Prozac.
My roommate has a shirt that says "Lawrence, Kansas: A drinking town with a football problem." Given the happenings in the athletic department the past few days, that takes on a whole new meaning.

I'm sick of everyone complaining about the men's swimming and tennis teams being cut. It's not like you went to the games anyway.

I just wanted to say that free legal advice for students was the best idea ever conceived.
I thought it was kind of ironic. I was walking yesterday, and I saw a car with a KU environmentalist sticker on the back. The person inside of it flipped his cigarette out the window and threw his Coke out the window. I thought that was kind of funny.
Why are GTAs complaining about the money? They're not worth what they get paid already.
Thanks for filling up the potholes.
Too bad they're higher than the roads. Now we have speed bumps.

Letters to the editor Heating problems demand action
I am writing to express my disappointment after having read the article in yesterday's Kansan, "Mechanical problems heat up Amini." Frankly speaking, the comments of Ken Stoner, director of student housing, were irresponsible and personally offensive.
I think it would probably have been better for the residents of K.K. Amini and the Department of Student Housing had we had an "in house" discussion of the problems.
Lucas C. Neece Topeka senior
However, because Stoner already issued a statement to the general University community, I think it fair and necessary that the University community should hear a resident's reply to your statement.
I am in my third year living at K.K. Amiini. I've known since my first week that the heating and cooling system has problems. My home is too cool in the summer, to the extent that residents keep windows open. My home is too warm in the winter, so we keep windows open
My first year in residence, my roommates and I called maintenance on a weekly basis, trying to keep the room at a medium temperature. We were eventually told that it was how it was and that was it. At a meeting this fall about the rate hike, which will put our rate higher than the other scholarship halls, Stoner explained that it was more expensive to run our hall because it was a more efficient building. This seems a very strange statement. When one of our residents asked if we couldn't fix the heating and cooling problem, Stoner explained that although we may not be happy with it, the system works as designed.
I wonder what Stoner meant when he said "one resident had complained to the department about the heating system before Sunday." Many men have complained to housing about heating during the last four years, and, as I understand it, since the hall's opening in 1922.
Because the system works as designed and the fire alarm works as designed, I spent an
saturday evening school out or my home.
It is my desire for Stoner to address the men
of K.K. Amini and state that there is a problem with the heating and cooling system and that he is now prepared to deal with it.
Students can get help for e-mail switch
Academic Computing Services appreciates recent Kansan coverage of the Exchange e-mail system and the student migration to the system from Falcon and Eagle (Emily Haverkamp's Feb. 26 editorial "Students need more facts on e-mail switch" and Cassio Furtado's Feb. 28 article "New KU server will identify viruses").
Ms. Haverkamp excellently described the benefits to students migrating their e-mail to Exchange. Mr. Furtado's article accurately presented the automatic virus scanning and quarantining features on the Exchange system (another benefit in migrating).
ACS staff has worked hard preparing information, tools and training to make the student migration to Exchange (e-mail) and People (Web sites) by the May 31 deadline as straight-forward as possible. Still, Ms. Haverkamp's editorial let us know we need to do more.
In the weeks between now and May 31, ACS will be posting migration information campuswide, running several Kansan ads, dedicating computers and providing assistance in our public labs to help students migrate their e-mail and Web sites, and offering additional migration classes. ACS also offers several classes on using Microsoft Outlook. Students can continue to get step-by-step instructions on migrating at http://www.ku.edu/exchange/students.

Dropping sports not the solution
There are more and better options than simply dropping two men's sports.
The University could retain all nine men's sports, not touch women's scholarships and still have plenty of football scholarships.
The biggest issue that must be addressed is the grossly disproportional number of scholarships for football. When fully funded, football gets 85 scholarships. If the Athletics Department is trying to save $600,000 a year, an across-the-board cut of scholarships and a bigger cut from football could work instead.
Title IX advocates are going to cry foul if you try to cut any women's scholarships. I predict a class-action reverse discrimination lawsuit will end this. For now, a plan to eliminate men's scholarships would be proposed. Basketball should not lose scholarships because you don't want to bite the hand that feeds you.
Everybody else should bear the burden, and football should bear the most — it can afford it.
Given that tuition (of-state), room and board and books is $15,000 per year (roughly) and there are nine men sports, then $600,000 divided by $15,000 equals 40 scholarships. Forty scholarships divided by nine men's sports equals about 4.44 scholarships per sport.
A three-scholarship cut across the board for men's sports, save basketball, should be proposed. Football would be forced to absorb the remainder. Outdoor track, indoor track and cross country count as three sports but mostly have the same athletes. So one of the men's track scholarships goes three times as far, counting for three sports. Instead of cutting nine scholarships from three men track programs, cut four from the three track programs.
The University would retain all nine men's sports, not touch any women's scholarships and still leave 60 full-ride scholarships for football. That is almost enough for six full squads of 11 players. The 25 scholarships aren't going to be missed by football; most of those guys won't see any playing time anyway.
If the current head football coach doesn't like it, another one will come along who will.
Forcing everyone to pay for art is unfair
Don Fearon KU diving coach,1989-1997
Many people write in to voice their disagreement with John McCool, but so few try to refute him. A good example is Melissa Montgomery's recent letter, "Columnist's argument promotes art censorship." Monday.
Let's assume a world where the following become law: All artists receive adequate taxpayer support. Anyone who goes to Congress calling himself an artist must receive funding. Is this what Ms. Montgomery advocates?
If so, we'll have a lot more artists. Take me, for example. I'm trying to find an engineering job. It's hard. If I were unethical, I could apply for government support as a musician. I'd be terrible, but what right does the government have to deny me aid based on subjective tastes?
This program would be a magnet for frauds calling themselves artists. By what standard could we distinguish people genuinely struggling to express themselves from impostors? Any denial of funds would be "censorship."
As long as the National Endowment for the Arts works with a fixed budget, some artists will be supported at the expense of others, who can then rightly ask why they are being censored while others are receiving support.
But someone has to grow food for this evergrowing group of artists. Someone has to build their houses and sew their clothes. It would be asking taxpayers to fund a program with increasing costs and decreasing rewards.
The only artists who go to the government for funding are those who cannot find anyone else to support them. No one will buy their art. No one considers them worthy of support. They don't provide society with something it wants
If taxpayers get their money back instead, they will spend it differently. Some will pay for the symphony, but some will buy a better house or nicer clothes. This means some individuals have higher priorities than supporting artists who see in cups and put it on display.
You might think that the resulting wave of unemployed artists is a terrible tragedy. You might love painting and lament that some painters must now find some average job to support themselves. But what right do you have to take other people's money to support painters? Each person has the right to decide what art to support or whether to support it. To consider artists without thinking about the rest of society is neither ethical nor practical.

CNN irritated by Larry King's party behavior
By David Bauder AP Television Writer
NEW YORK - CNN's two Kings, John and Larry, are divided over a hug.
White House correspondent John King said he felt "shame and horror" while watching Larry King hug President George W. Bush at a inaugural party where the talk show host was serving as host.
CNN now says it was a mistake to let Larry King participate in the event, which was telecast live on CNN
John King made his comments in an internal e-mail. His message was quoted in Brill's Content magazine and its accuracy was confirmed by CNN yesterday.
"I watched in shame and horror as Larry King not only was master of ceremonies at a Bush inaugural event but also as we put him live on the air, first introducing some entertainment, then as he shamelessly rushed on stage to hug the president-elect and entertainer Ricky Martin," John King wrote.
CNN badly wants to keep John King, whose contract expires in April. The defection of such a high-profile reporter to another network would be considered quite a blow.
Brill's Content suggests King is unhappy, quoting from another memo he sent to Sid Bedingfield, CNN's general manager, and other executives in January complaining about mishandling of two of his stories on Bush Cabinet appointees.

Track gears up for NCAA meet
By Michael Sudhalter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Six members of the Kansas track and field team will compete at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships today and tomorrow in Fayetteville. Ark.
Senior All-American Scott Russell will compete in the weight shot, and junior Ryan Speers will participate in the shot put event. Senior All-American Charlie Currier will
doer will work a double shift this weekend, running the one mile and the distance medley relay along with
TRACK AND FIELD
teammates junior Brian Blachly, senior Andy Tate and senior Jabari Wamble.
Coach Stanley Redwine will be returning to his alma mater for the first time as a Jayhawk in the indoor season. Redwine said that although it is nice to return to Fayetteville, the special attention should be placed on the six athletes who have qualified for the season's final competition.
"We are excited to have these six individuals going to the NCAA meet," Redwine said. "This group is led by seniors in Wamble, Gruber and Tate, and because they are such great competitors they are going to go out and do their very best."
Russell, who is currently ranked third in the weight throw, heaved a 75-10 throw at last month's Big 12 Championships in Lincoln, Neb. Russell said he has set some lofty goals for this weekend's important meet.
"The competition is going to be awesome, but I don't expect anything less than first place, and I won't be happy with anything less than that," Russell said. "I would be happy with being an All-American, but I really won't be satisfied unless I win the whole thing." Speers, who threw 61-0 in the shot put, is currently ranked 14th in the nation for that event.
Gruber will try to become only the fourth Kansas track athlete to earn All-American honors in two different events in the same season. Gruber is ranked seventh nationally in the one mile, and he is also the anchor leg for the No. 4 distance medley relay team. Wamble will run the 400 meter leg while Twill take on the 1,200 meter leg; Blachly will run the 800 meter.
Wamble said he is optimistic that the team will work together and let Gruber bring home the victory in the final leg of the distance medley relay.
"It's going to be the best competition we have ever seen, and we fully expect to win the DMR." Wamble said. "For my leg of the race, I just want to get the baton and set up Gruber for the anchor leg of the race and let him do his thing."
Redwine said the team should maintain its consis tency in the NCAA event.
"We need to go in and do what we have done all year and we will do great," Redwine said.
'Hawks eager for Cyclone rematch
The Jayhawks might not tell you this, but they've got one eye on Kansas State and the other on a possible Sunday match-up with Iowa State in the finals of the Big 12 Tournament.

The desire for the Big 12 Conference championship game against Iowa State has been a hot topic for sophomore forward Drew Gooden, who has never beaten the Cyclones since coming to Kansas. After Kansas' final regular season win against Missouri, Gooden said he had other teams on his mind.
KU
In the rematch in Ames, Iowa, freshman Shane Power and Freshman of the Year Jake Sullivan, burned Kansas from the outside. Sullivan buried 6-of-8 three-pointers while Power drilled all four of his attempts en route to the 79-71 win.
Kansas has some unfinished business to tend to with the Iowa State, a team that has owned the 'Hawks for the last two and a half years — Iowa State has rattled off five straight wins against Kansas.
"I want Iowa State," he said. "Iowa State beat us twice, and we need to get that game."
In the two previous meetings, the Cyclones' outside shooting killed the Jayhawks. In the first match-up at Allen Fieldhouse, senior guards Jamaal Tinsley and Kantralt Horton put on a three-point shooting clinic, going 7-for-10 from behind the arc. And despite a Kansas comeback attempt, Iowa State hung on to win. 79-77
But if Iowa State and Kansas happen to
meet in the championship game, the Cyclones will be playing a Javakh team with a chip on its shoulder.
The Hawks are looking to win their first Big 12 Tournament since 1988 and Chenowith said the trophy needed to be back in the right hands.
"The Big 12 Tournament is really important to us," he said. "We feel some ownership towards it. It's in our
back yard. We think it's our tournament. We think it's our tournament to win."
CYCLONES
But coach Roy Williams knows the difficulty of squarring-off against Iowa State — a team he thinks could get one of the top four seeds after the selection committee announces them on Sunday evening.
"They deserve a No. 2 seed," he said. "With some upsets, if they were to win the whole thing, I think you could make a good case for them possibly being a No. 1 seed." Although Kansas wants to play top-seed Iowa State on Sunday, Chenowith is focused on the games leading to the championship.
I would love another shot at them, no question," Chenowith said. "But we have to take care of our second round games first before we get to Iowa State. I respect the team a great deal and I would love to play them again."

Golfers to resume play at Louisiana tournament

It's been a while since the men's golf team has competed, but don't look for the time off to affect them.
The last time the Jayhawks played was Feb. 12 and 13 when they won the Rice Intercollegiate tournament. On Monday and Tuesday they will return to the Oakburne Country Club course and the Louisiana Classics Intercollegiate tournament where they finished second in a tournament last year.
"It is a good course for us," said head coach Ross Randall. "It's also a tough course because it's tree lined, and it has small greens."
The Jayhawks will rely on their experienced players to lead them. Senior Andy Stewart shot 219 and tied for sixth-place with former Jayhawks Jake Istnick and Ryan Vermeer last year.
But because the Jayhawks no longer have a superstar like Vermeer, who was a third-team All-American last year, Randall has learned that any player on this team will lead at difficult times.
"Any of our top five could step up and play good," Randall said.
Junior Casey Harbour also has something to prove. In last year's Louisiana Classics, Harbour shot a 232, which put
him in 58th place. After he tied for third place at the Rice Intercollegiate tournament, he isn't worried about returning to the site of his worst finish last year.
"One thing that I've learned this year is that all I can do is play with what I have on that day," Harbour said.
One of those is senior Conrad Roberts, who has been hampered by an injured thumb lately. Despite wearing a heavy bandage, Roberts practiced on Tuesday.
This loose attitude has benefited the Jayhawks all year and leaves them excited to return to the greens.
"We're ready to play, and everybody's antsy to play." Harbour said.
The team will shoot a few practice rounds this weekend before the tournament begins and prepare for a field of stiff competition, which includes some Big 12 teams.
"This is a little stronger field than the first tournament," Randall said. "There are a lot of
Women golfers continue streak
Big 12 teams and teams in our district. We need to stay ahead of the other guys in our district as far as rankings go."
That is something Kansas will be concerned with for the rest of the season because the team will face conference and nonconference foes for the remainder of March and most of April.
By John Domoney sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
"I'm looking forward to it because the real season is going to begin now," Randall said. "This is what we've been working on, and we're ready to go."

Maybe the Kansas women's golf team doesn't need a spring break.
The Jayhawks have carded four straight top 10 finishes after their 10th place finish at the "Mo"morial tournament at the 6.032-yard par-72 Pine Forest Country Club Monday and Tuesday in Houston, Texas.
Spring break won't be a diversion,
though, as the Jayhawks will be in
Myrtle Beach, S.C., for practice and
some play throughout the week.
NCAA rules require the team to face an opponent during the trip, so Kansas will play the College of Charleston Thursday, March 22. After that, the Jayhawks will compete in the Indiana Invitational Saturday, April 7 and Sunday, April 8. and
Edited by Doug Pacey
the Iowa Invitational Saturday, April 14 and Sunday, April 15 before the Big 12 Championships.
"We just need to focus on our short game because we haven't been out much this year," Hollingsworth said. "We'll keep at it."
In the "MO" morial tournament, the Jayhawks finished with a 955 after a final-round 321. First place Indiana fired a 917 and won the tournament by two strokes.
"I think we did real well, and we beat four higher ranked teams which is a huge improvement for us," said coach Nicole Hollingsworth.
"Everyone had a very successful tournament."
Sophomore Tiffany Krugel followed her ninth-place finish at last month's Carolinas Collegiate Classic with a tie for 27th with a score of 237.
California freshmen Jennifer Bawanan and Chrystal Thayer had successful performances in Houston. Bawanan shot a 239, including a finalround 79 and tied for 38th place. Thayer finished in a tie for 53rd with a 243. Also competing for Kansas were senior Ashely Bishop, who tied for 53rd, and sophomore Heather Rose, who finished in a tie for 56th.
Kruggel has shown the most improvement on the team and has become one of the most dependable team members.
"I felt I could have been better," Kruggel said. "I'm glad I kept on pushing towards maintaining a good finish."
Much of the Jayhawks' optimism came after its 10th-place finish in a strong field. Along with first-place Indiana University, Hollingsworth's alma mater, the 'Hawks also squared off with Big 12 foes Baylor, Kansas State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas A&M. Oklahoma and Texas A&M finished tied for second place just two shots behind the champion Hoosiers.
"Competition-wise it was a step up," Hollingsworth said. "We faced three or four powerhouses from the Big 12." — Edited by Matt Duaherty

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 9). A disappointment this year leads to something better. Give up an old objective in March, and relax into more security in April. Your noblest adversary is right in May, so learn and don't struggle. Achieve a dream at home in June, and come up with a new one in July. The money you send to a partner in September can help you find a treasure in December. Don't disregard your worries in February; use them to spur your imagination
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 5.
It may look like the job will never get done,
but it will. There's a lot of hashing before it's
finished, though. This weekend's excellent for
fun and games, but stick to business now.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8.
Be the wise observer. The more ridiculous
the others get, the better you look. When they
finally ask you to untangle the mess, tell them
the obvious solution.

There's something that's overdue now. It's not something for the boss, but it still takes top priority. Make sure a loved one knows that.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7.
Things may be jammed up at work, but you can find a way around the problem. A friend gives you the clue. Take a new route to get where you want to go.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5.
Ask your sweetheart to wait a little longer before taking on a major expense. This also applies to a child who wants something expensive. Provide an extra service to boost your income first.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8.
You're running into trouble all day long, but you'll succeed in the end. Somebody from far away provides exactly what you need at exactly the right moment. Relax and enjoy the night.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) today is a 5.
If you're having trouble finishing an assign ment, step back and take care of something else you've promised. That will clear your mind. When you go back to the first dilemma, it may have fixed itself.

Scrapbook (Oct. 23-19, 2015) today is a 7.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 5.
Don't try to figure it all out; there is a logical answer, but your partner may find it before you do. It's not a good day to ask for a raise.
Pay attention, so you can be in the right place at the right time.

Notes: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
The Kansas pair of Quentin Blakney and Pete Stroer led the charge, each winning his singles matches and earning a doubles victory.
The Jayhawks started off strong, as blakeney and Stroer defeated Tres Davis and Ryan Newport 8-4. The 19th-ranked doubles pair of Rodrigo Echagaray and Eleazar Magallan edged out Shuon Madden and Caradima 9-8 (7-3).
Blakeney knocked off Dumitrul Caradima 6-3, 6-3, while Stroer defeated Cody Hubbell'6-3, 6-2.
Kansas coach Ross Nwachukwu was pleased with the team's mind-set and emotion.
"The guys played with a tremendous amount of emotion and passion and fought their hearts out, but fell a little bit short," Nwachukwu said. "You could tell they were fired up.
"I was pleased we took the doubles point against some of the best doubles teams in the country, and I was hoping we could take that momentum into singles."

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Texas Tech distracted by Bob Knight rumors
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Oklahoma State may have locked up an NCAA tournament bid yesterday, but the fate of Texas Tech coach James Dickey was the main topic of conversation after the Cowboys 71-59 win against the Red Raiders in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
Before the game Dickey refused comment on reports that the school had talked with Bob Knight about the former Indiana coach and three-
"I'm going to be the basketball coach at Texas Tech as long as I'm allowed to be," he said. "I'm the coach_until someone tells me differently."
Dickey, 166-124 in 10 years as Texas Tech coach, had come under fire after finishing 3-13 in the regular season league race, tied with Texas A&M for last place. Published reports in Texas and Indiana yesterday said the Texas Tech president and athletic director had met with Knight in Florida.
time NCAA champion joining the Red Raiders.
Afterward, Dickey didn't have much more to save.
Dickey denied the rumors were a distraction, but the Red Raiders played much of the game as if they were distracted.
Cliff Owens missed a high lob slam-dunk on Tech's first possession and the Cowboys (20-8) took a quick 8-2 lead.
P
Texas Tech (9-19) led briefly, but Maurice Baker scored seven points in a 13-0 run, and the Cowboys went on to a 32-18 halftime lead.
Former Indiana coach plans to sue university
The Cowboys opened the second half with a 13-2 run.
INDIANAPOLIS — Although Bob Knight is rumored to be Texas Tech's next coach, he is taking care of some old business.
Knight told Indiana he intended to sue the school for stander and libel from his September firing, alleging his former employer cost him more than $7 million.
According to a letter obtained yesterday by The Associated Press, Knight alleges the university violated the Indiana Open Door Law, inflicted emotional distress and interfered with his ability to find a coaching job.
"If the university doesn't negotiate with us, we have no choice but to sue," said Russell E. Yates, Knight's attorney.
The university denied the allegations.
Knight was fired Sept. 10 by Indiapa President Myles Brand after
29 years as coach for violating its "zero-tolerance" policy. The firing came after Knight grabbed a freshman student by the arm and lectured him on manners after he greeted the coach informally.
S
Knight had 180 days to notify the university of his intention to sue. That deadline is today.
Buchanan scored seven points and Reid had four in a 13-2 run, capped by Buchanan's three-point-play with 7:32 left in the first half that gave K-State a 22-14 lead. Belcher's steal and layup with 39 seconds remaining put K-State up 30-28 at the break.
He was unavailable for comment. Controversy is nothing new to Knight, who has become embroiled in a number of incidents through the years, including one almost a year ago when former player Neil Reed claimed Knight choked him during a practice.
Reynolds, who finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds for the 10th-seeded Wildcats, scored both of his putbacks after misses by Quentin Buchanan.
K-State (11-17) avenged two regular-season losses to the Cornhuskers and improved to 7-0 against Nebraska in Big 12 and Big Eight tournament games.
K-State beats Nebraska in conference tourney
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Travis Reynolds put in two follow shots in the final 43 seconds last night, including the game-winning jump shot with 1.5 seconds left, to lift Kansas State to a 62-58 win against Nebraska in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament.
Conklin's three-point shot with 4:30 left gave Nebraska its biggest lead of the second half at 56-51.
Nebraska (14-16) had the ball and a 58-56 lead with a minute remaining. But Cookie Belcher fell to the floor and lost the ball to Buchanan.
Buchanan missed the resulting layup, but Reynolds rebounded and scored to tie the game at 58. After Reynolds' go-ahead score, Buchanan caught the tipped inbounds pass, was fouled with .1 second left and
lced the Wildcats' win with two free throws.
Larry Reid led K-State with 21 points and Buchanan had 11. Kelvin Howell had a game-high 13 rebounds for the Wildcats.
Steffon Bradford and Brian Conklin scored 10 points each for the Comhuskers, who shot just 36 percent (19-for-53) from the field.
TRACK AND FIELD
Shot putter suspended to 2 years for drug use
Hunter, who announced his retirement in Sydney, Australia, last year, accepted the ban, but "vehemently denies knowingly taking any banned substance" and maintains he is "the victim of an otherwise legal, contaminated supplement," the USATF said in a statement.
INDIANAPOLIS — World shot put champion C.J. Hunter received a two-year c suspension yesterday for testing positive for the banned steroid nandrolone, and he reiterated that he has retired.
Hunter, husband of triple Olympic champion Marion Jones, was suspended by USA Track & Field organization after he chose not to fight the charges brought against him by the International Amateur Athletic Federation and USAFE.
The USATF said Hunter "confirmed his long-held desire to retire from competition" by submitting the proper retirement form.
Under IAAF and USATF rule, an athlete is responsible for any prohibited substance found in his or her system, regardless of how it got there. Hunter's excuse that he did not intend to take a prohibited substance would not be a defense to a finding of a doping violation.
Hunter tested positive four times last summer for the steroid nandrolone. The case broke during the Sydney Olympics.

Ultimate Frisbee season popular for KU students
By Steve Laurenzo
Kansan sportswriter
When that happens it will time for spring intramural sports.
The grass fields will eventually lose the frost and won't feel like cement much longer.
Managers' meetings for ultimate Frisbee and sand volleyball will take place at 7 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at 156 Robinson Center. Additionally, officials' meetings for sand volleyball will be at 8 p.m. Sunday at the same location. Ultimate Frisbee is a self-officiated activity.
This is a big reason ultimate Frisbee is misunderstood.
The general misconception about ultimate Frisbee is that it is played by a few people in an unorganized fashion.
But that's not the case. According to the Ultimate Players Association Web site the game is played competitively by more than 25,000 UPA and World Flying Disc Federation amateur athletes in more than 35 countries. This figure does not even consider the number of casual players.
Another common misconception is that ultimate Frisbee is a new sport.
To the contrary, ultimate, as avid players call it, was created more than 30 years ago by high school students in Maplewood, N.J. Originally played on an asphalt surface, the sport was moved to grass and began popping up on numerous college campuses by 1972.
Finally, many people believe ultimate Frisbee is just soccer with a Frisbee.
This isn't quite true. Again, according to the UPA web site, "Ultimate combines elements of soccer, football and basketball in a fast-paced game, played with a Frisbee, where everyone is a quarterback and everyone is a receiver."
Self-officiating is particularly effective in a sport like ultimate.
"We haven't had any problems with it because ultimate is a gentleman's game, like golf," said Brad Bolyard, intramural program assistant.
Last year 12 teams competed in the ultimate Frisbee league. Games are played at the Shenk
Complex, sand and town streets. The more traditional sport of sand volleyball offers a fun and competitive spring activity. The league had 56 teams last year. Matches are played on the four sand courts east of Robinson.
Unlike the other four team sports remaining on the spring schedule, sand volleyball will begin April 1, one week later than the others. This change was made because the activity is played just one day each week and waiting for daylight savings time will allow matches to go further into the evening. Each match is monitored by one official, appointed by recreation services.
Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets.
Other Intramural News:
The NCAA Final Four picks contest opens for entries Monday. Entries can be submitted until 7 p.m. Wednesday at 208 Robinson.
Limited spots were still available for the three-on-three soccer and softball leagues as of 9 a.m. yesterday. Interested parties should contact recreation services as soon as possible for details.

Athletes abuse their status fellow students
Mashed potatoes night is a big deal at Mrs. E's.
So, like almost everybody on the hill last Thursday night I filed into the cafeteria and got into line at the Main Dish — the sight of the coveted mashed potatoes.
As my boyfriend and I neared to the front of the line, we were directly followed by a football player and our friend Eva and about 15 other people behind her.
Warren is in an Overland Park junior in Journalism and Spanish.
Just as I was about to order my mashed potatoes, about 10 football players surrounded their teammate, bunching up so that they all fit into line in front of poor, hungry Eva. By the time Eva got to our table, we had all finished eating — she had waited for 30 minutes for a helping of mashed potatoes that she should had gotten 25 minutes earlier.
This is minor example — but a good one — of how some athletes on this campus abuse their status as Division I jocks. I know I could go into the entire Yacht Club incident last year, but I'm not even going to touch that.
You see, it's not really their fault that they abuse their status, because if anyone checks out the sports page regularly, at least once a month, if not once a week, there's an example of a professional athlete behaving badly.
Rae Carruth gave us two years of good examples with his murder trial. For those of you who don't remember, the professional football player was charged — along with two accomplices — with the shooting of Cherica Adams, his pregnant girlfriend, on Nov. 16, 1999, in Charlotte, N.C. Adams died a month after the shooting, while her son Chancellor is still alive, although ravaged with cerebral palsy. On Jan. 22, Carruth was sentenced to 18 years, 11 months for his role in the murder.
But, as John Rocker proves, not just football players get in trouble. What a good ol' boy of summer this baseball player turns out to be. The former Atlanta Braves relief pitcher was suspended for 28 days after he made disparaging comments about minorities, homosexuals and foreigners in a Sports Illustrated interview.
And then there's Jennifer Capriati. The tennis star went through a selfdescribed "teenage rebellion" a few years back, and consequently, had subsequent run-ins with the law. She was arrested for shoplifting and drug possession after a sour season in 1993.
However, unlike Carruth and Rocker, Capriati has the ignorance of youth to blame — she was only 17 at the time. "Yes, I made mistakes by rebelling, by acting out in confused ways," Capriati said in a 1999 Associated Press story. "But it was all due to the fact I was very young, and I was experiencing my adolescence. Most of you know how hard that can be. When you do it in front of the world, it is even harder."
Now, cutting in line for mashed potatoes isn't at all in the same ballpark as, say, murder, drug possession or racist comments, but it is something that unsets people.
Be mature and good examples for those in the pros. Heck, we all know they could use some good role models.
I know several students on the hill that have complained of the blatant cutting in line — but those students don't have a column, and I do. Therefore, I thought that maybe it was time to ask for it to stop. I had witnessed the cutting before, but I had just put up with it, because it's something that always happens, although it's ridiculous that it does. I mean, guys, I know you were hungry, but so were the 15 people behind you that night.
Athletes protest team cuts

Swim team seeks 15,000 signatures from KU students
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Casualties of the Athletics Department's recent budget cuts are now fighting back.
Less than one week after Bob Frederick, athletics director, announced the elimination of the men's swimming and diving and men's tennis programs, the athletes are taking action.
Twenty-two members of the swimming and diving team spent yesterday spread out around campus asking students to sign a petition against the program cuts. The team is seeking 15,000 signatures to raise student awareness and to send a message to the Athletics Department.
Freshman swimmer Mitch Loper stood outside Watson Library soliciting signatures from students walking to and from class. Loper said he had collected 548 signatures.
"Most of the students are disappointed," he said. "I would guess that 90 percent of the people I've asked had signed, and 5 percent of people who didn't sign were just in a hurry to get to class. Most people have been very supportive."
Loper said members of both teams were shocked by the initial announcement made by Frederick during a meeting Sunday afternoon. But now they're prepared to challenge the decision.
"There wasn't a dry eye in the room," Loper said. "Now we have recuperated, and we're fighting back because it isn't
fair. They are pumping more money into the football program next year."
Cutting the two programs will save the department $600,000 next year and $3.6 million during the next five years. The move will free up money to pay for salary increases for Kansas football coaches.
The football program accounts for nearly
20 percent of the University's athletic budget despite losing money in recent years. And in the next five years the football program's budget is expected to jump from $4.4 million to $6.74 million.
Rebecca Erickson, Edwardsville senior, who signed the petition, said increasing the football budget is not fair to the teams that were cut.
"Get rid of the scholarships for the football towel boys and give them back to the tennis team." Erickson said.
But not all students sympathize with the cut programs' cause. Mike Hirschbring, Glen Rock, N.J., senior, said athletic downsizing is part of life.
"I think sometimes things like this have to happen," Hirschberg said. "Let's face it, football and basketball are the money makers for the school. Unfortunately, cuts like these have to happen."
Hirschbig said the football team needed more funding to become competitive.
"Look at K-State," he said. "It has taken a while to get their football team back on top. You have to spend money to make money."
The men's tennis and swimming and diving teams have planned a peaceful protest at 9:15 tomorrow morning. Members of both teams plan to start outside Robinson Center and march through campus to Chancellor Robert Hemenway's home. Loper said the march won't be the teams' last effort to lash out against the cuts.
"We are definitely fighting this out to the end," he said.

Iowa State looms, but 'Cats come first
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Although No. 9 Kansas opens Big 12 Conference tournament play at 6 tonight against Kansas State, the Jayhawks have been doing a lot of talking about a team that they're not even guaranteed to play — Iowa State.
The No. 7 Cyclones beat Kansas (23-5 overall and 12-4 in the Big 12) both times the teams played this season and have won the last five meetings. That domination was enough to get sophomore forward Drew Gooden's attention.
"Iowa State ... Iowa State," said Gooden, when asked who he wanted to play. "I'm 0-4 against Iowa State. Little things like that. My only two home losses are against Iowa State. Kirk (Hinrich) and Nick (Collison) haven't beaten an Iowa school since they've been here, so that's bragging rights for them. We want to see Iowa State."
Before the Jayhawks can concern themselves with Iowa State's prospectus, they'll have to prepare for their third meeting with K-State (11-17, 3-11) this season.
Kansas has won the last 21 games between the two teams, including both meetings this season. They also hold an 11-6 advantage against the 'Cats in Kemper Arena. Regardless of that success, sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich said he wasn't allowing his teammates to look past the Wildcats
"I'd love to play Iowa State, but we can't really think about that right now," Hinrich said. "We have to beat two good teams before that. We're going to worry about ourselves and getting ourselves ready to play."
Kansas hasn't played since Sunday when it beat Missouri in Senior Day. Meanwhile, the Wildcats may be tired after playing a
Axtell out for post-season
Luke Atkell's collegiate career ended against Missouri on Sunday.
The senior forward's lingering back problems have forced Atkell to the sidelines for post-season play.
"This is a big loss for us as a team, but an even bigger blow to Luke," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "He has tried very hard to play, but his year has just been one problem after another."
Atxell played in 19 of 28 games this season and averaged 5.3 points and 2.6 rebounds. In his career at Kansas, he played in 39 games and averaged 7.0 points and 2.7 rebounds.
Axtell's back was not the only body part to hamper him this season. He missed Kansas' first four games because of a sprained left ankle suffered in a Nov. 7 practice after coming down on a teammate's foot. On Dec. 11, he sprained his ankle in practice and missed two games.
— Shawn Linenberger
tight game against Nebraska last night. K-State emerged victorious, 62-58, and were led by Larry Reid's 21 points.
"I think he's going to have that program turned around where they're going to be in the top half of the conference," Hinrich said. "Before, it seemed like K-State was a game where you know that's going to be a win."
Hinrich said that the Wildcats were much improved from last year's team — a fact he attributed to K-State coach Jim Wooldridge.
The Cats would love nothing more than to deliver a major upset against Kansas. History shows that it's not likely, but if the Jayhawks look past the Wildcats, then the highly anticipated rematch with Iowa State will never happen.

The Jayhawks (7-7 overall and 1-5 in the Big 12 Conference) and Tigers (5-7-1, 1-5) will battle tonight at 6 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark. The two teams will then travel to Columbia, Mo., for games tomorrow and Sunday at Simmons Field.
Kansas started the season hot, going 6-1, but has slumped ever since. The Jayhawks have lost six out of their last seven games and share last place in the Big 12 Conference.
Senior shortstop John Nelson said the Missouri series should be an opportunity for the Jayhawks to get
back on track.
"After losing two series, especially, I think this weekend is really important," Nelson said. "They're a good team, and there's a lot of rivalry between us. A lot of pride goes on between Missouri and KU, and I think that will really help us win this series."
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said the rivalry between Kansas and Missouri made this weekend's series special.
"This is a big-time rivalry, and when you go into Missouri, they let you know that you're a 'chickenhawk,'" Randall said. "It isn't as intense as basketball or football, but it's big."
Although the rivalry gives the series added importance, Randall also said Kansas would approach this weekend the same as any other Big 12 weekend
"Every one of these conference games carries a lot of weight." Randall said.
Missouri heads into this weekend coming off a 9-8 victory against Wichita State. Like Kansas, Missouri is 1-5 in the Big 12 and needs a few wins to climb out of the Conference cellar.
Kansas will send senior Pete Smart to the mound in game one tonight against Missouri junior Drew Endicott. Yesterday, Smart was named Big 12 copitcher of the week for his performance against Oklahoma State last weekend.
Randall said he was extremely pleased with Smart's performance this season, but that he was more concerned with getting junior pitcher Justin Wilcher back into the lineup. Wilcher experienced soreness in his arm last week, and the Kansas coaching staff held him out of the rotation
Randall also stressed the importance of the bullpen's improvement.
against Oklahoma State. His availability for this weekend is uncertain.
"We're missing Justin right now, and if he can pitch, we're going to pitch him Sunday," Randall said. "We also need to get our bullpen going this weekend. Doug Lantz has done a lot of good things in practice this week, so he should be ready when we need him."

Understanding Islam
THE ORIGINAL WORK OF SAFIR MUHAMMAD JAHREL
Muslims face misconceptions

Growing religion touches students' everyday lives
By Dawn North
Special to the Kansan
Saira Sufi remembers the event vividly. She was 15 years old and her friends, Lanell and Jaime,
At sunrise, an alarm went off. Lanell scrumbled underneath the table to hide. Jaime thought it was "the end" and freaked out.
The chaos was not caused by an alarm warning of bad weather, but by a kind of alarm clock — an azan, a clock that sings and chants. The clock was telling Sufi's Muslim family that is wait for prayer. The shape of the clock is similar to The Dome of the Rock, the third-holiest place for Muslims.
"It's a beautiful sound, but if you've never heard it, it's surprising," Sufi said with a smile on her face.
Sufi, Topeka senior, is one of 300 Muslims registered with the Muslim Student Association at the University of Kansas. According to the association, the number of Muslim students on campus has tripled since the mid-1990s.
and the northern half of Africa
Gasim Bukhari, vice president of the association and Saudi Arabia doctoral student, said 250 members of the group were international students and 50 were U.S. citizens. Overall, the members represent 30 different nationalities.
Muslims follow the religion of Islam, and their numbers are growing. There are an estimated 5.5 million Muslims in the United States and more than one billion in the world. It is the principle religion of the Middle East, Asia
As the number of Muslims on college campuses increase, so must the understanding of other students in order to break down stereotypes of the religion, Sufi said.
"There are a lot of assumptions about Islam," she said.
She said she used to hide her religion when she lived in Topeka and during her first three years at the University because she wanted to fit in.
She calls herself an American-born Pakistani and is a member of the Pakistani Cultural Club on campus. In the last year, she has researched
her religion and searched her beliefs. Going through this time of questioning and searching has solidified her faith in Islam, she said.
She now wakes before sunrise each morning to pray.

Public Works set to clean streets
City will tow vehicles not moved by owners
By Erin Adamson
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The city will tow cars that aren't cleared from the street by owners.
City officials are asking residents in a section of the Oread neighborhood next to the University of Kansas campus to move their cars from the roads beginning today so the city can clean and repair the roads.
The City of Lawrence Public Works Department will clean the area from Mississippi Street to Kentucky Street and from 11th Street to 14th Street.
Debbie Van Saun, assistant city
manager, said that a hard winter had left more debris than usual in the streets.
"We've had more snow than in five years," Van Saun said. "Because of that, there's been more salt and sand on the street."
Van Saun said that, if the weather cooperated, crews would be cleaning the streets from today until Friday and that vehicles would need to be cleared from the streets. The department will put up no-parking signs the day before each street is cleaned to warn the residents living along the street.
The city has planned two other cleanup projects that will coordinate with the University's spring break. The city will try to repair the streets while the students are out of town.
CLEANING SCHEDULE
Today — 11th and 12th streets
Today
Tomorrow — 13th and 14th streets
Wednesday — Mississippi and
Indiana streets
Washington mississippi and
Indiana streets
- Thursday — Louisiana and Ohio streets
- Friday — Tennesseesee and Kentucky streets
Crews will be working in the same area patching and repairing potholes during the week beginning Monday, March 19. Crews also will clean up alleys in this area on Friday, March 23, in conjunction with the annual Oread litter cleanup.
Van Saun said the city took the student population in the Oread area into account when planning the cleanup.
"We're going to concentrate on areas
where students typically live," Van Saun said.
Janet Gerstner, of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said that Lawrence City Manager Mike Wildgen had initiated the cleanup but that the city planned the cleanup with the association.
"We have an awful lot of sand in the street," Gerstner said. "The other real problem is tremendous trash buildup."
Gerstner said she was worried that students would not realize the cleanup was happening and would risk having their cars towed.
"We're more unique than a lot of other neighborhood, some people might not go to their cars for days," Gerstner said.
KU loses dean to Purdue
Frost-Mason lured to provost position
Bv Andrew Davies
Edited by Sydney Wallace
By Andrew Davies writer @kanson.com Kanson staff writer
Sally Frost Mason, dean of liberal arts and sciences, is planning to leave the University of Kansas this summer to become provost at Purdue University.
P.
Mason, who has been dean of the college since 1996 and a member of t h e University faculty since 1980, said the opportunity was too good to pass up.
Frost-Mason: set to begin job at her alma mater in July
"Purdue is a very, very fine school and this is a wonderful opportunity," said Mason, who earned her master's degree from Purdue in 1974.
Mason, who interviewed at the school in early February and accepted in the middle of the month, said she would stay at KU at least through commencement.
She is set to take over at Purdue on Sunday, July 1.
Provost David Shulenburger said a search committee would be organized in early fall with the anticipation of filling the position permanently by July 2002.
He also said he would take some time to select an interim dean.
"I will not make that determination for a few weeks as I want input from the campus about the interim before I make that appointment," Shulenburger said.
Beverly Davenport Sypher, associate dean of social sciences, said that she was happy
Mason had the opportunity at Purdue but that she was sad to see her leave the University.
"It's really rather bitter-sweet," she said. "Because of Sally's leadership, we've all had an opportunity to grow along with the college. She will certainly be missed."
Carl Strikwerda, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that during Mason's tenure, the University had been able to further its research and increase fund-raising.
"More generally, she has been a leader in hiring excellent faculty and helping KU expand its research activity in all areas," he said. "Finally, she has raised private giving to the college, which has helped all of our efforts."
Mason handled limited resources well. Sypher said
Mason has overseen the merger of six science-related departments into two; the creation of the Indigenous Nations Studies graduate program; expansion of the college's outreach program; and expansion of offerings at the University's Edwards Campus in Overland Park.
"She has managed three budget cuts and still made it possible to hire record numbers of faculty and generate increasingly more student credit hours with a lot of really great teachers," Sypher said.
Mason also has hired more than 25 percent of the current faculty, with an emphasis on hiring female faculty in the sciences.
Sypher said the University could learn a lesson from Purdue's search committee.
"I think we all could take some "lessons from their search committee and president," she said. "They were aggressive, thoughtful, decisive and quick." — Edited by Lain Schuler

Student assaulted Thursday night
Woman receives black eye, scratches

Kansas staff writer
She said she was walking toward an entrance to the building at 6:42 p.m. when a man, seated near the northeast entrance, stood up and grabbed her as she passed him.
A 21-year-old female KU student reported being assaulted as she attempted to enter Haworth Hall on Thursday night, the KU Public Safety Office said.
"He asked me for a ride home, and I had class, so I said 'No,'" said the student, who asked to remain anonymous. "Then he got mad, and that's when he grabbed me."
She pulled away from him, and he grabbed her again, according to the crime alert issued by the public safety office.
"I ducked after he hit me, and I got out of his grip," she said.
The report stated that the man, whom the student said she didn't recognize, then hit her across the face. The student said she was able to escape him.
She said she pulled away from the man, walked into her Haworth classroom without being followed, and notified the public safety office after her class

Though understandably jostled by the situation, the student handled herself admirably. Bailey said.
The student said she had experienced a similar incident last year, when a drunk stranger, spouting profanities, confronted her and her friend at Boardwalk Apartments, 524 Frontier Road. She was not harmed in the incident.

Rock Chalk Revue donates $50,000 Sigma Phi Epsilon's and Chi Omega's show takes top honors
Heroes and villains, singers and camp scouts gave the 2001 Rock Chalk Reve Audience a tour from turn-of-the-century Cordova, Spain, to a flashy 1980s bowling alley on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. But the on-stage antics were upstaged by the record $50,000 that was raised and donated to the United Way of Douglas County.

Five groups, each made up of one sorority and one fraternity house, were nominated to present a skirt around this year's theme. "On the record."
Sigma Phi Epsilon's and Chi Omega's "The Camping Show" won best show. The skit differed from the others because there was no love interest in the plot.

"Our idea was not to have a plot," said Kiernan O'Callaghan, Topeka senior and one of the show directors. "It's a bunch of 20-year-old students acting like children, telling jokes and having a good time."

Man accused of hitting pedestrian enters plea
A Missouri man accused of running over John Lowe, a homeless Native-American man, entered a plea agreement Friday in Douglas County District Court.
Joshua Mattocks entered the plea on charges of involuntary manslaughter, driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an injury accident.
Police found Lowe in a gutter on Mississippi Street near Ninth Street last April after he was hit by a vehicle and dragged half a block and around a corner.
Mattocks' sentencing is scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday, May 4.
Police search for suspect in Food 4 Less robbery
Police are looking for a man in his early 20s after an armed robbery early Friday morning at Food 4 Less grocery store, 2525 Iowa, Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Patrick said.
Patrick said a manager, cashier and stock clerk were in the store during the robbery.
Around closing time, a man who had been shopping in the store approached the manager and cashier with a mask covering his face. He pointed a handgun at them and ordered them to the floor.
The man ordered the manager to open the cash register, Patrick said, and the man took money and left through the front door.
The suspect was described as a Caucasian male in his early 20s, 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds with reddish blond hair.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call 843-TIPS.
Man in stable condition after rolling truck on K-10
Kansas Highway 10 was closed for more than an hour Sunday morning after a 22-year-old man was flown by helicopter to the University of Kansas Medical Center following a car accident, said Kathy Tate, Douglas County Sheriff's lieutenant.
A nursing supervisor at the Med Center said Ryan Lewis Amold was listed in stable condition yesterday afternoon.
Arnold was westbound on K-10 near East Hills Business Park in a truck when the accident happened, Tate said. She said he may have wandered onto the north shoulder of the road and then over-corrected the truck in his attempt to gain control. The truck rolled several times, Tate said, and Arnold was ejected.
Tate said officers believed Arnold might be a Lawrence resident.

African-American coverage to be discussed on KJHK
Black Student Union members and Kansan staff members will discuss coverage of African-American issues and events on JKHJ 90.7 FM today.
The forum, to be held at 3 p.m. on "Real Alternative Radio," will include discussion of the student newspaper's coverage of the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government. Nearly 100 students marched through the Kansan newsroom Thursday in a protest of the coverage.
The protesters objected to the Kansan story published Feb. 26,
"Fight fails to derail minority conference."
Courtney Bates, Chicago sophomore and president of BSU, said several BSU members would accompany her on the show.
"We plan to discuss the protest and what our plan of action will be from here," Bates said.
Kansan editor Lori O'Toole, managing editor Mindie Miller and multicultural reporter Danny Phillips, who wrote the story in question, will represent the Kansan in the forum.

Space station prepared for Italian cargo carrier
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — In what's being billed as NASA's longest space-walk, two astronauts rearranged the outside of the international space station yesterday to make room for an Italian cargo carrier.
The excursion was just four minutes shy of nine hours and entailed slow, deliberate work with cables and connectors — "a jungle of wires" as one crew member called it.
The spacewalkers were "right on the edge" of what they could handle, said NASA's lead flight director, John Shannon. But they performed admirably despite some initial butterfingers that put them an hour behind.
Some minorities encounter police more, study says
WASHINGTON — African Americans and Latinos are twice as likely as Whites to report the use of force in encounters with police, according to a report that also showed African-American drivers are more likely than Whites to be stopped, searched, handcuffed or ticketed.
Two percent of African Americans and Latinos who had face-to-face encounters with police in 1999 reported force or threatened force, compared to just under 1 percent among Whites, the Justice
Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics reported yesterday.
The report comes as Attorney General John Ashcroft has asked Congress to authorize a national study of racial profiling.
Bush's tax plan could be cut without surpluses
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott raised the possibility yesterday that Congress could scale back President Bush's tax cuts if projected surpluses do not materialize.
The suggestion from Lott comes one day after Bush indicated he might be willing to compromise on his $1.6 trillion tax cut and just a few days after a nationwide poll found that Americans would overwhelmingly support a tax cut if it were automatically pared down in the absence of a surplus.
Tax relief passed the Republican-controlled House last week with little support from Democrats, whose help will be crucial if Bush's plan is to pass in a Senate.
Zapatista rebels march on Mexico City for rights
MEXICO CITY — Mexico's masked Zapatista rebels led a march into the heart of Mexico City yesterday to press their demands for Indian rights.
Winding up a two-week tour of southern Mexico, the Zapatista leaders became the first rebel group to ride openly into the city since revolutionary leaders did it in 1914.
The 23 masked rebel commanders and their leader, Subcomandante Marcos, rode a flatbed truck and waved to onlookers as supporters marched and rode behind.
Israel's Sharon says peace talks must wait
JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Ariel Sharon accused Yasser Arafat's bodyguard unit of carrying out terrorist attacks against Israel and said yesterday it was not possible to hold peace talks with the Palestinian leader in the current climate of violence.
Sharon, who has been in office less than a week, had been restrained and diplomatic when speaking of his longtime rival. But in an interview with the Fox News Channel, the new Israeli leader was sharply critical of Arafat and said no talks were planned.
The comments came a day after Arafat told the Palestinian parliament that he was ready to resume peace talks.

Partygoers celebrate Carnaval

Parreira was one of more than a thousand partygoers celebrating Carnaval at Abe and Jake's Landing Saturday night from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. The party concluded Brazilian week, honoring the culture and history of the South American nation.
Carnaval is celebrated in the time before Lent with an extended party that has made its way to Lawrence. The showcase of Brazilian culture has become a tradition at the University of Kansas, celebrating its 22nd year here.
"The best thing for me is the music. It reminds me of home," Parreira said. "Brazilians from all over the United States come. Sometimes it's bad because it makes me want to go home. It's good to see all these Brazilians here. It makes me feel good."
America Colmenares, Caracas, Venezuela, graduate student, could not find room on the dance floor packed with hundreds dancing to the music of the Chicago Samba Band. The lack of space on the floor did not phase her as she danced atop a brick ledge.
"It's crazy." Colmenares said "Everybody is dancing."

Brazilian music, it didn't stop him from getting on the dance floor. The novice even liked the faster rhythms, which allowed him to go crazy.
"I didn't know how to dance to this music, but I thought is worth a try." Oundjian said. "You have your own little space out there."
The French student was part of a group of 55 Kansas State students who came for the party. Although most were of Brazilian descent, the group also included students from France, Korea and the Czech Republic. They even made special shirts for the evening: white T-shirts with "Brazil" in green letters.
The Manhattan group included only a few of the visiting guests as people came from Denver, St. Louis, Houston and Des Moines, Iowa.
Anay Marques came from Joplin, Mo., with a group of fellow students for Carnaval. Sporting a Brazilian soccer shirt, Marques, from the state of Maranhao, enjoyed the music of her native country and the atmosphere of the night.
"I it's good to have a party that looks Brazilian," Marques said.
Mary Cooper, Olathe junior, wore a black mask outlined in gold. She obtained the traditional Carnaval accessory while attending Carnival in Colombia. Cooper said the numerous Latinos and Brazilians gave the party a unique feel.
"It has an international flair," Cooper said. "You don't feel like you are in the middle of the Bible belt."
Jose Avila, Juarez, Mexico junior, attended the dance with his friends. Avila said they enjoyed the friendly
Latin-American atmosphere and the music, which they didn't 'hear often in Lawrence. Although the party provided Avila with a sense of home, it also gave him an opportunity to meet those outside his comfort zone.
"There is more of a mix with other cultures," Avila said. "No one segregates themselves here. There is a sense of unity."
Yoshida Kazushige, a Tokyo, Japan, native and University of Missouri-Kansas City student, traveled to the Carnaval for a special reason. "Jumbo," as his friends call him, said he felt he was a Brazilian inside the body of an Asian. He planned on moving to Brazil when he graduated because of the South American people and the music.
"The people are very nice and friendly," Kazuhige said. "You can really feel the music throughout your body."
Although people enjoyed the music and companionship, Rebecca Magario, Sao Paulo, Brazil, junior, said it was the exclamation point for the week's events. Carnaval gave people a taste of the four-day festival in Brazil, the country's biggest party.
"The whole week showed a little bit of our country," Magario said. "People get to know Brazil and its culture. The week culminates in the Carnaval, which is a nice way for everyone to interact."

Meal, skits highlight colorful celebration
Festivities showcase Pakistani community

Kanson staff writer
The smell of curry and the sound of loud, traditional Pakistani music set to a dance beat filled every crevice of the upper levels of the Kansas Union Saturday night, as the Pakistani Culture Club held its version of a Brown Bag Special in the Union Ballroom.
Women and men dressed in head-to-toe traditional silk attire mingled with family and a khaki-clad crew of non-Pakistani college students as East met West during the event, which included a dinner of traditional foods from the region and a two-hour show put on by 15 members of the three-year-old club and a handful of their family and friends.
About 175 people lined up for a buffet-style meal including some common Pakistani dishes such as chama masala (a chickpea dish), pakoras (fried vegetable dumplings), chicken salan (chicken in a curry sauce), Basamatri rice and rice pudding. And although the food was catered to the event by the India Palace, 129 E. 10th St., Sarira Sufi, Topeka senior and public relations chairwoman of the club, said that Pakistan was a very separate entity from India.
"We do share a culture with India but we're two completely separate countries," Sufi said. "The clothing and the food is similar, but we have a
different religion, and there are other differences too."
In fact, unlike India, which is mostly Hindu, Pakistan is 97 percent Muslim. The show reflected that. The date of the show was chosen because of its proximity to the Islamic religious holiday Eid-ul-adha, which was last Tuesday. The holiday is held two months and 10 days after the end of Ramadan, a holy month in the Islamic calendar marking the end of the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. A banner above the stage read Eid Mubarak, which means "Happy Holiday" in the Pakistani dialect of Urdu.
However, because the club wanted to keep the show timely, it had to scramble to put together the event, said Asma Remhan, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore.
The show itself, which began at 7:30 p.m., included two fashion shows, twoskirts, a youth dance and a parody of Jeopardy! The fashion shows showcased Pakistani dress infused with a few Western touches like cell phones and sunglasses, set to special lighting effects and Pakistani songs.
Eva Caudill, Manhattan freshman,
said that the show and dinner combined helped her understand a few things about her Pakistan friends.
"I knew that my friends Asma and Tania were Pakistani but I didn't know much about their culture," Caudill said. "This gave me insight into how they were raised and what they believe."

Perspective
War on drugs lost cause; substances should be legal
came to the University of Kansas living in a dream world.
For comments, contact Chris Borniger or Nathan Willis at 864-4924 or opinion@kansan.com
I thought that if we spent millions of dollars to beef up border security, had stringent rules outlawing any illicit drugs and enforced those rules with a heavy hand, we could diminish America's drug problem. But this semester, I had an epiphany that totally changed my outlook on America's war on drugs.
It's not America that has a drug problem; individuals have drug problems, chemical addictions. And trying to stop an entire population from using drugs is impossible.
After taking the respective messages from each of those things, it made me realize that we are never going to stop drug consumption totally.
I came to this epiphany after three major events. I watched the movie *Traffic*, read the recent *Kansan* articles on meth and heard the infamous "Honk for Hemp" guy,
Traffic made me realize how far behind we are in stopping illegal drugs from entering this country. The Kansan articles made me realize how easy it
Mark Creamer, speak to my journalism class.
At colleges across the country, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) are starting up chapters to stop binge drinking on college campuses. Although noble in intent, they are living in the same dream world I lived in for years.
was to make drugs such as meth. And Creamer made me realize that people are always going to use drugs even if the law says they can't.
Eric Borja columnist opinion@kansan.com
People drink, smoke pot, sniff glue, shoot heroin, roll on ecstasy and snort cocaine to take themselves away from the crappy Ken Burns documentaries that are their lives.
The desire to be in an altered mindstate is profoundly common. Since the dawn of time, people have invented different ways to take their minds to another place. Today, some people do this by skydiving, drinking coffee or listening to music. But unfortunately, some people use illegal drugs to feel good. That's just the way it is.
Stopping binge drinking in college is impossible. Binge drinking, just like illegal drug use, often falls under the category of "that's just the way things are." Trying to stop that is just a complete waste of time.
My guess is that if you keep making the rules stricter and trying to discourage drug use and drug trade, people will spend more money to get the drugs and will want to do drugs even more. It's simple supply and demand.
I understand where MADD is coming from. Most of the members have lost a close friend or relative in a drunk driving accident. What they should be focusing their efforts on is the driving part, not the drinking part. People will never stop drinking.
We are inundated with as many pro-drug images as we are with anti-drug images. Movies such as Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting glamorize drug use, at least to some extent, and make it seem like a cool thing to do. Then we are exposed to pathetic anti-drug campaigns, such as Matthew Perry public service announcements and the University's own "zero-to-five drinks" ad campaign.
Creamer spoke about legalizing marijuana. I say legalize all drugs, and then dealers will be competing to have lower prices. As a result, drugs would lose their giamour and mystique. They would become completely boring, and the appeal for them would be lost.
As for America's war on drugs — good luck. Just as fake IDs are easy to make, so are drugs such as meth. The war on drugs has become just another platform politicians use to con us into a vote.
Moreover, lawmakers would have legitimate reasons to regulate drugs, making them considerably less dangerous.
But who am I kidding. We all need something to dream about.

Tenets of Christianity remain relevant today
For people whose ancestors were once single-celled organisms in the process of mutation, we spend an extraordinary amount of time pondering the existence of a being who transcends the tangible. Some people even make a special public point of doubting or not hallucinating in that being.
Why do we care if it is so irrelevant? We care because we have all been created with the desire for a relationship with God. Helen Keller could not hear or see, but when she finally learned to communicate she wanted someone to tell her about the God who she intuitively knew existed. Whether we choose to accept or reject him, everyone still chooses a side.

I'm writing this column in response to another recent column about how Christianity supposedly
Christina Pruitt
guest columnist
government.kaupio.edu
isn't relevant in modern times. Today, many people assume that someone is born Christian in the same way someone might be born American. But Christianity is the choice to believe and follow Christ. We don't have to worry about straddling lines; the distinction is clear. I have never had to make the choice between being a Christian and being an independent thinker.
The column contended that the Bible falls half the population. In reality, the Bible is a great propponent of women. Jesus (the greatest heretic and independent thinker in history) went against the societal norms of the time and treated women with a kind of respect, compassion and equality that they had never before known. In one passage, Jesus liberates a woman who was caught in the act of adultery and who would have otherwise been executed. Jesus went so far against the conventions of the time that he was killed for his unorthodox social activity.
People who choose to follow the Jesus of the Bible aren't doing so out of a lack of originality or backbone; they do so because Jesus has changed their hearts in the same revolutionary way that he changed the course of history.
Moreover, Mary was an overwhelmingly positive female figure. Mary was a virgin until marriage, and she bore Jesus. Does that make her weak? I could only see strength in a girl who endured an unwed pregnancy in that day, gave birth in a barn and watched her firstborn suffer a crucifixion. But Mary was never set up by the Bible to be a model for all women; she was simply a Jewish girl who was obedient to God.
In Genesis, we see that God created woman from Adam's side (implying partnership and equality). Unwitting assertions of biblical text lead to false claims that Eve is the source of original sin. Similarly, claims that the Bible portrays sex as dirty are certainly a result of ignorance of the Bible — specifically, Song of Solomon. God created sex. He wants it to be enjoyed to the fullest in the right context. Think of the modern societal problems (unwed mothers, abortion, STDs, depression, emotional heartache) that could be virtually eliminated if man followed God's instructions for sex.
The columnist challenged the Bible's relevance because it supposedly limits women to a submissive, powerless role. Although no example was cited in the article, the Bible does provide us with a description of the ideal woman. According to Proverbs 13:10-31, the model woman is strong, wise and business-minded — not powerless.
The Bible and Christianity are as relevant today as ever, and with careful analysis of scripture, claims to the contrary are easily refuted.

Editorial
Ban excluding gay donors discriminates
The Food and Drug Administration's policy is grounded in faulty logic.
The reason for tight regulations regarding blood donation is clear. Blood transfusions are common and many illnesses can be passed through the bloodstream. The logic behind some of the tight regulations governing blood donations, however, remains murkv.
The Food and Drug Administration prohibits gay males from donating blood, but males who have had sexual relations with a prostitute must wait only one year before donating.
The FDA advisory board makes the rules for blood donations. In September of last year, the board voted to keep the ban on gay men intact. The panel was closely divided on the issue, voting 7-6 to keep a total ban on gay male donors.
One panel member, who voted to change the restriction to a five-year waiting period, even said the policy seemed arbitrary and discriminatory and needed to be changed.
Those who voted to keep the ban cited a lack of information concerning the potential risk of HIV-positive blood slipping through the cracks of their testing procedures.
It is unfortunate for everyone that the FDA excludes thousands of potential donors, especially when blood is in short supply. The logic of the advisory board seems flawed, especially because we do not live in the early '80s anymore and HIV/AIDS is not a gay disease.
More likely, the ban is a remnant of society's distaste for homosexual behavior. In a Feb. 27 Kansan story, Stan Handshy, Erie junior, said that it made him feel "like a second-class citizen" that the Red Cross would not accept his blood based solely on his sexual orientation.
As far as our culture has progressed, negative emotions and stereotypes regarding gays still dominate. The restrictions on gay male blood transfusions should either be changed or publicly supported by solid scientific facts.

I just came from doing that walk-in with BSU, and I just want to say if you look at everything that's been done, maybe the writer, Danny Phillips, needs to stop writing for the Kansan.

O'Tool, whover told you that the coverage of Black History Month made them feel like they were floating on cloud nine is just as confused and misinformed as you are.
I could care less about some Black student conference, but I thought the fight was actually news. So good job, Kansan.

If BSU is so obsessed with keeping stereotypes at a minimum, maybe they should worry about the people who actually threw the punches and not the Kansan.
I think every time a smoker lights up in a restaurant, all the nonsmokers should gather around them and pass gas just to let them know how we feel.

I have no idea why the GTAs keep complaining about, being mistreated and not getting paid enough. I think the people at KU Info need to get paid double what the GTAs get paid because they've had to answer every question no matter how stupid it is.
---
KU GTAs are overworked and underpaid. They deserve a better contract, and the University should give it to them this school year.

I guess it's really true that the Free for All does such nowadays because many people have been trying to call in hilarious comments, but in reality, I guess you're not printing them. Get real. You're supposed to be here for amusement, not controversy.

Awesome article by Ted Frederickson in the Kansan. They ought to put Frederick and Allen on the same bus to someplace else.
I just want to know how this professor Frederickson thinks he has all the right ideas about how to deal with the Athletics Department. Since he keeps butting his nose in all the Athletics Department's problems, why doesn't he apply for the athletics director's job since he thinks he can do everything better than Dr. Frederick? He's a joke.

Letters to the Editor Campus Safety Board wants to solicit advice
My name is Nooshin Solanti, and I am the chairwoman of the Campus Safety Advisory Board. I am writing this column to solicit advice regarding the overall safety of the University of Kansas. How do you feel about campus safety? What areas of campus could be better lighted? Where is there a lack of emergency phones? What other safety programs or improvements do you want on campus? The board wants to know
The Campus Safety Advisory Board is a committee of Student Senate that is given the duty of providing careful consideration of safety improvements at the University. These improvements include additional campus lighting, emergency blue phones, and dual-access campus/emergency phones. Emergency phones provide a direct link to a police dispatcher for emergency situations and can be found both inside and outside of campus buildings. The dual-access
campus/e emergency phones are not yet a part of campus but would provide a direct link to the police department, as well as phone service to the rest of campus. The board comprises students and staff members.
The board comprises students (senators and nonsense tors) and administrators from all areas of the University. In the past, the board has worked as the trustee of the Campus Lighting Fee, which is a $2 student fee. This fee ends this year but is followed by a Campus Safety Fee.
The Campus Safety Fee originated from the board and was approved by Senate. The fee does not have the limitations of the Campus Lighting Fee because the money generated from student fees can be spent on other safety measures that were not allowed with the current fee. The estimated fee money for next year is $88,400, which will be matched by the University on all approved physical plant improvements. This comes to a total of $176,800 of projected available funding for next year alone.
The board is prioritizing how to spend the money in coming years. We want to know how students, faculty and staff feel this money should be spent. The board wants to make a master list of all possible areas of campus that could use additional lighting, blue phones or dual-access phones. We want everyone to compile a list of possible safety improvements at the University.
Please email any suggestions or comments to me at noosh@ku.edu. (Please be as specific as possible). The Campus Safety Fee affects everyone at this University, and we are hoping, with your input, that we can make the University an even safer establishment.

Candidate would give students voice in city
I am a graduate of the University of Kansas and a lifelong resident of Lawrence. For years, I have heard KU students saying they wanted a voice in Lawrence.
Students, your voice is here. His name is Adam Mansfield, Adam is a candidate for the Lawrence City Commission, and he represents the ideas of many college students. Adam is intelligent, responsible, insightful and a recent graduate of the University.
The Tuesday, April 3, election is important to students who want a voice in the community of Lawrence. If you would like to vote but are not registered here, you may do so until Monday, March 19, at the Douglas County Court House.
Once again, to the students of the University of Kansas who want a voice in the community: Please vote in the Lawrence City City election Tuesday, April 3. A vote for Adam Mansfield is a vote for the students.

Book details why Christianity is irrelevant
I believe Sheri Martin deserves a little defense and less ridicule ("Christianity fails to stay relevant in modern times," March 1). Her theory that Christianity fails to remain relevant in modern times is correct, it's just that her reasoning is incomplete. All those who are ridiculing her, and possibly Miss Martin herself, should read Why Christianity Must Change or Die by Bishop John Shelby Spong. The book is able to fully reason Christianity's irrelevance to today's society in its current form but also offers guidance for keeping the faith. It could really open some eyes and hearts.

Environmentally friendly cars put on city agenda
Public interest in environmentally-friendly cars has put alternative-fuel cars on the agenda of the City of Lawrence and local car dealerships.
The city is adding alternative fuel cars to its fleet in an effort to diversify the fuel sources that city cars depend on and to support transportation that impacts the environment as little as possible, said Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager.
The city already owns three cars that run on a fuel mixture of 75 percent ethanol and 25 percent gasoline, and is in the process of buying a car that runs on both electric and fuel power, Wilden said.
The city displayed a 2001 four-door Toyota Prius and a 2000 two-door Honda Insight on loan from a dealership for the public Feb. 13 at City Hall.
Although the city has not decided which electric car it will buy, Wildgen said the city expected to purchase one sometime this spring.
Jay Landreth, Crown Toyota, 3330 Iowa, said interest in the 2001 four-door Toyota Prius was growing.
Landreth said that the Prius had both a gasoline engine and a smaller electric motor that powered the car. A computer decides which engine to use and alternates between them. Both engines are capable of charging the car's battery.
Steve Case's Toyota Prius, an electric-gasoline hybrid car, averages 48 miles per gallon. Case, a KU program assistant, said he became interested in the car a few years ago when he heard they were popular in Japan. Photo by Katie Moore/KANSAN
"We're seeing more people asking about it," he said.
"The biggest advantage is that it's a super-low emissions car," Landreth said. "The only thing with better emissions is an all-electric car."
Landreth said Crown Toyota had sold five of the Prius cars since December and had two cars on order for customers.
Steve Case, program assistant in the School of
Education at the University of Kansas, purchased a Prius from Crown Tovaix six weeks ago.
Case said the car was consistent with his beliefs about environmental preservation. His Prius gets good gas mileage, which is important to Case because he commutes between Lecompton, Lawrence and the Kansas City areas.
Landreth said the Prius used the electric motor more often than the gasoline engine and averaged 52 miles per gallon in town. The gasoline engine is used more frequently during highway driving, he said.
Landreth said Crown Toyota sold the car on an order basis.
A local Honda dealer sells the other car that the city is considering buying.
He said it was a limited edition car that the dealership received from Japan.
John Elena, of Elena Honda, 2957 Four Wheel Dr., said there had been enough interest in the Honda Insight that the dealership had sold all three of the Insights in stock.
"We're going to get two or three again this year," Flena said.
Wildgen said the city was leaning toward purchasing an Insight because it had four doors and would be more convenient for city use.

Student stays true to faith

"It is hard, but rewarding," she said.
Praying five times a day is one of the Five Pillars, or primary duties, of Islam.
Sufi's prayers are recited verses from the Koran, Islam's holy text, and can be prayed silently or out loud. Sufi and other Muslims face east toward the city of Mecca when they pray. She said it was nice to know other Muslims around the world were praying at the same time.
Being a Muslim on a college campus isn't always easy. Sufi said she had made a personal choice to dress moderately, but she does not wear a hijab—a scarf covering the head—when she goes out in public.
Salma Adamu, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, has opted for a more traditional style of dress — she always wears a hijab.
"The hijab is very liberating." she said. "Our bodies are beautiful, vet personal."
Adamu, whose parents are from Nigeria, said that most people saw the scarf as oppressive, but she said she chose to wear it because she wanted people to see her for who she was on the inside and not judge her value by the clothes she wore.
Kiran Ahmed, a graduate student who has split her time equally between living in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United States, also chooses to wear the hijab when in public. She laughed as she talked about the differences in cultures and recounted an earlier experience at the University.
When she was a junior she was assigned to Templin Hall. Ahmed had indicated her preference for no males in the room on her housing application.
"I thought that meant no boys could come to the room at all, instead of no boys sleeping in the room," she said.
When she arrived at her room, she said she was shocked when her mothermate said that her best friend was a guy and that he would probably come over a lot. She bolted to her room, crying, and called her dad. Within a few days, her new home was
"I felt violated, because I wasn't used to it," Ahmed said. "I was used to having my father and brothers in my house, but not other boys. That was my personal space."
McCollum Hall.
Sufi, Adamu and Ahmed sat talking and laughing — shoes off, scarves on — after the Jummah prayer service on Friday.
After prayer, talk turned to lighthearted subjects such as dating and what kind of food is OK to eat. But when the talk turned to misconceptions and stereotypes about the Muslim people, the tone grew more serious. Because of the violence in the Middle East between Muslims and Jews, the Muslims are often viewed as militant troublemakers, they said.
"It's a religion of peace," Adamu said. "To be Muslim means to submit to the will of God. God doesn't want war."
Bukhari, vice president of the Muslim Student Association said some groups had more of a political agenda than a religious one.
"When politics is the objective, then the controlling factor isn't religion anymore," she said.
Beverly Mack, associate professor of African Studies, said that American students rarely had the opportunity to learn about Islam, except through the negative stereotypes put forth in media coverage. The course she teaches, Women and Islam, provides an introduction to Islam with specific attention to women's roles.
"Its main emphasis is on the spirit of equity inherent in Islam, which often is not evident in contemporary Western news stories," Mack said. "For centuries, the Western media have perpetrated the belief that Muslims are the enemy, turning the veil into a symbol of oppression. Oppression is never the aim of Islam."
For Sufi, the past year has been a time of reflection and introspection into her faith. But she said she has learned one thing for sure.
"Being a Muslim is definitely a way of life."

a chance to shed his reputation as a "loser" in a bowloff with a bowling champ he lost to five years ago. He wins the match and gets the girl.
Travis Lagner, Overland Park senior and one of the
show's directors, said the show's message was that persistence and confidence succeed in the end.
A record deal is Vickie's dream in Phi Gamma Delta's and Delta Delta Delta's "In Style." The audience was welcomed to Club Style in New York, where Vickie and Chaz, a musical duet, were trying to secure a record deal so Vickie wouldn't have to return to Kansas and live with her parents.
"It's just a little cheesy story about two people in love and making it in record business," said Kelli Colyer, one of the show's directors.
A falsely imprisoned convict escaped from prison and returned to a fishing village to clear his name and get revenge on the person who framed him in Sigma Nu's and Kappa Delta's "What a Catch." The local hero turned out to be the guilty party, and the escaped convict was vilified and took his nemesis' girlfriend.
Brian Russel, Overland Park lecturer in the school of business; said he had been going to the show for the last three years to see his students perform, but he thought this year's show was the best he had ever seen.
"I just thought the shows were the most polished and the variety of them was entertaining," he said. "I was just very impressed with the amount of time and effort the greeks obviously put into it."

East Asia Outreach Conference dispels myths
By Danny Phillips
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Contrary to what some may think, East Asian cultural practices aren't timeless, unchanging or universally accepted.
"Tradition is a process of judgment in which the greatest act of piety is not blind acceptance but criticism," said Lionel Jensen, associate professor of Chinese history at the University of Notre Dame.
He said the best way to understand tradition was to view it as a process of negotiation "of what will be handed down and what will be received."
Jensen was a lecturer that spoke
to a group of 75 educators, instructors and students Saturday afternoon in the Kansas Union as part of the 2001 East Asia Outreach Conference.
The panelists and speakers centered their discussions around the conference's theme, "Inventing and Reinventing Tradition In East Asia."
Conference panel member, John Ertl, a KU graduate teaching assistant in the Department of Anthropology, spent two years teaching in the Japanese town Nishikata, which represents a microcosm of the continually changing traditions in East Asia. He then returned for nine weeks last summer to do research for his
"Tradition is a process of judgment in which the greatest act of piety is not blind acceptance,but criticism."
associate professor of Chinese history,
University of Notre Dame
thesis.
He said Nishikata officials, in an effort to bring the different districts of the town together, which have traditionally had separate identities, created new festivals.
That way, Ertl said, when Nishikata begins a project, the entire town can feel like it's benefiting from it instead of just one district.
The town recently also had a problem with declining population, said Ertl, and town officials were hoping the development of a new industrial park would begin to turn that around.
However, even though the park is attracting new businesses, the population is only gradually increasing because many people who work in the park still commute to Nishikata.
Panel member Dale Slusser discussed the intricate details performed during the Urasenke Tea ceremony. Now himself a tea
instructor, Slusser said students have to go through 10 years of diligent study to become trained in the ceremony.
"We know things are changing," he said.
The ceremony dates back to the 1600s, and it is unclear if the original proscriptions have remained the same throughout the centuries. Slusser said.
The procedures during the tea ceremony are so finely detailed that the entire gathering, complete with a meal and alcohol, takes about four hours to complete.
Although normally, making tea might take 15 minutes. Slusser said, during the ceremony it could take up to 45 minutes.
Not only does the host have to adhere to strict procedures, but so do the guests, usually numbering between three and five, who sit on their legs.
"It sounds absolutely miserable," Slusser said, "but in fact, this is not the case."
He said that it was a very social occasion and that participants partake of caffeine, alcohol and food.
Sarah Donegan, Olathe graduate student, attended the conference and said she especially liked Ertl's slide presentation on Nishikata.
Donegan received her bachelor's in Japanese culture and is now studying urban planning. As a result, she said, Nishikata peaked both of her interests.

Forum explores state's oral history
Word of mouth tells of state's past
By Laurie Harrison Special to the Kansan
History is not always taught using books and films.
For about 140 people this weekend, the history of Kansas was told by mouth.
The second annual "Learning to Hear the Stories: Made in Kansas" at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union emphasized the importance of oral history.
Maryemma Graham, professor of English and event organizer, said the purpose of the workshop was to give people an opportunity to step outside of their experiences to learn about other cultures.
The Hall Center for the Humanities, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the department of African and African American Studies, the
English department and its Project on the History of Black Writing paid for the program.
Graham said that people from all walks of life could research oral history.
"You don't have to be an expert," she said. "This is exactly what the University should be doing—making our knowledge available outside of the University."
Panelists for the 10 sessions included University of Kansas professors, museum archivist and community activists.
Tony Harris, Lawrence graduate student, attended the sessions and helped organize the workshop. He said the simple fact that this event occurred proved that people are interested in oral history.
The conference dealt with several issues relating to oral history. Tips on researching oral history, putting research into books and making oral history on film were discussed.
During lunch the audience viewed Ninth film, a film made in 1989 by
"In the African-American community, oral history really is the crux of, the basis of, our history."

Kevin Willmott, assistant professor of theater and film. The movie is based on the oral history of Junction City.
During the afternoon sessions panelists covered the African-American migration to Kansas and the Swedish, German and Mexican immigration to the state.
Bill Tuttle, professor of history and American Studies and workshop panelist, said that although many people questioned the validity of oral histories, researching the area was important.
"Oral history has provided answers to our historical questions when no
other sources could," Tuttle said.
Angela Bates-Tompkins, community activist and workshop panelist, agreed.
"In the African-American community, oral history really is the crux of, the basis of, our history," she said.
Bates-Tompkins, a native Kansan and descendant of Nicodemus settlers, successfully worked to make the northwest Kansas town a National Historic Site.
Nicodemus is the only remaining town established by African Americans west of the Mississippi River, Bates-Tompkins said.
Deborah Dandridge, archivist for the Kansas Collection at the Spencer Research Library, said that oral history allowed citizens to understand society because it included the kinds of stories, often about race and class prejudice, that probably wouldn't be reported in local newspapers.
"Oral history is a way in which we place an emphasis on the past that explains our past," she said.

Former tennis coach supportive of colleague
Just as a coach tries to shelter his players after a devastating loss, Riley called Nwachukwu to try to salvage the tennis careers of players he recruited and the career of his former player.
But not even former Kansas men's tennis coach Mark Riley could prepare his former player and current Jayhawks coach Ross Nwachukwu for last week's abrupt cancellation of the men's tennis program.
Coaches are supposed to supply their players with game plans for upcoming meets.
"I had no idea — I was just as completely floored as everyone else in the program," Riley said last week from his office at Penn. "I want to help him and his players move on. That's the biggest thing I can do for him."
After Nwachukwu spent four years playing for Riley at Drake, Riley hired Nwachukwu as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs in 1995.
The former four-year letter winner and nationally ranked player received assistance from Riley, who became his colleague instead of his coach.
But the support didn't stop there — in 1999, three years after Riley was hired by Kansas, Nwachukwu was brought to Lawrence to be an assistant in the men's tennis program. The team would produce a 12-9 record and place second in Region V the first year the pair was together.
But Riley said he looked forward to helping Nwachukwu finding a new coaching position, just like he has done in the past.
However, when the opportunity to return to his hometown as the men's tennis coach at Penn emerged last fall, Riley left Kansas to become coach of the Quakers. Nwachukwu was introduced as the new coach of the Javhawks.
High-caliber players — such as Nwachukwu — and high-caliber coaches — such as Riley — were shocked by Kansas' decision.

Nwachukwu's one-year stint as men's tennis coach was cut short.
For comments, contact Shawn Hutchinson or Shawn Linenberger at 864-4858 or sports@kansan.com
It seems Riley left just in time. Only six months later, Kansas Athletics Director Bob Frederick cut the men's tennis program, as well as the men's swimming and diving program.
military coats, was short. Frederick cited increases in scholarship expenses and a 115 percent travel budget increase as the reasons for cutting both programs.
Only eight other schools in the Big 12 Conference house a men's tennis program — but that offers little solace to a program that will no longer exist after this season.
He said Kansas' national reputation would probably suffer from these cuts — along with any hopes of re-establishing the tennis program if more money became available in the future.
Riley said to his knowledge, Kansas' tennis team — which, under his watch, produced a second-place conference finish in 1997, a three-time Rolex Region V Singles and Doubles champion and one double team to the NCAA quarterfinals — was the most successful program to ever be discontinued.
"Building a program from zero will be very difficult," Riley said. "But KU is a great place and can attract caliber players."
No.4 seed not shocking to Williams
Cal State-Northridge looms as 'Hawks prepare for NCAA tournament
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan writerwriter
Following the "you get what you pay for" mentality, Kansas coach Roy Williams had a similar response to his team's draw in the NCAA Tournament, announced last night.
"You play yourself into the spot that they put you," Williams said. "Where they put us is where we played ourselves into. Everybody in the country can make a case for themselves going up or going down a seed, but we played ourselves into that spot."
No. 9 Kansas (24-6 overall and 12-4 in
the big 12 Conference) is the No. 4 seed in the Midwest regional and is slated to
play No. 13 seed California State-Northridge Friday in Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio.
Williams said he thought his team could have been seeded higher had it won Saturday against Oklahoma in the Big 12 Tournament. Instead, his team is seeded fourth and will be in Ohio, which doesn't bother Williams.
10
Williams:soid
'Hawks deserved
No. 4 seed
"It doesn't mean anything to me," Williams said. "With the exception of the people that want to see us play, it's a shorter distance to go. When it comes
down to coaching the game and playing the game, where it's located shouldn't make any difference."
Senior center Eric Chenowith said that he agreed with the selection committee's seeding of the Jayhawks, and he was excited to play in senior teammate Kenny Gregory's home state.
"It's a good seed for us," Chenowith said. "It's a seed we deserve. It's pretty close to Kenny's home, so it's going to be good for him, and I hope all of the people of Ohio can rally behind us and rally behind Kenny."
The Jayhawks might need a little bit of support after Saturday's frustrating 62-57 loss to Oklahoma. Even more support may be needed based on the difficult teams in Kansas' half of the bracket. A second round meeting with Syracuse, the fifth seed, may lie ahead — and then a possible meeting with No.1 seed Illinois in the Sweet 16 looms.
The other No. 1 seeds are Michigan State in the South, Duke in the East and Stanford in the West. North Carolina fell to a No. 2 seed in the South after its 79-53 spanking by Duke, but that just exemplified what Williams said was a zany week of conference tournament shake-ups heading into the big dance.
"I think eight of the top 10 teams in the country lost in the last seven days," Williams said. "Teams that made significant runs at the end, like Kentucky, moved up to No. 2. Boston College, I thought, would've been a little higher, and I thought Iowa State played well and earned the high seed that they deserved." The Cyclones earned a No. 2 seed in the West and will play Hampton in the first round. Missouri is a No. 9 and Oklahoma State a No. 11 seed in the East. Oklahoma and Texas rounded out the Big 12's representation in the tournament with the South's fourth and sixth seeds, respectively.

'Hawks squander lead, Big 12 title hopes
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Chris Wristen
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With top-seeded Iowa State out of the way after losing to Baylor, No. 9 Kansas ran on high octane in a 94-63 greasing of Kansas State Friday and looked poised to cruise to the Big 12 Conference Tournament title.
Come Saturday, the oil ran dry.
The Jayhawks (24-6) lost to No. 16 Oklahoma (25-6) in the tournament semifinals after squandering an eight-point lead in the second half in Kemper Arena.
Kansas sped to an early 15-5 lead after five minutes, courtesy of two three-point shots by junior guard Jeff Boschee and two lay-ins by sophomore forward Drew Gooden.
The next 15 minutes of the first half were not so good. The Sooners made a 13-4 run during the next seven minutes, and the Jayhawks scored just 15 points in the
remainder of the half. Boschee added another trey in the final minute that sent Kansas into halftime with a 30-24 lead, but senior forward Kenny Gregory said his team had already missed a golden opportunity to finish off the Sooners.
"Early on, we had a 10- or 12-point lead, and at that point is where we should have really stepped up and tried to bury them, and we didn't," Gregory said. "We had a comfortable seven-point lead in the second half for a while and weren't able to get the lead up any higher."
Not capitalizing came back to bite the 'Hawks. Oklahoma didn't make a field goal until almost four minutes into the second half, but Kansas only mustered a Gregory dunk during that span.
Kansas couldn't score inside because Oklahoma's Kelly Newton, Jameel Heywood and Daryan Selvy wouldn't allow Kansas to get any good looks inside.
"They were doing a good job of getting around and not allowing our high-low
The Jayhawks had 44-36 with 10 minutes left, but Hollis Price sank two free throws and Tim Heskett drained a three-point shot that trimmed the Kansas lead to three points. Heywood was fouled by Chenowith on a lay-in and sank the ensuing free throw that gave the Sooners their first lead since going ahead 1-0 in the opening minute.
game," said Kansas center Eric Chenowith. "They were just fighting."
Also contributing to Kansas' struggles was Oklahoma's ability to hit big shots. The Sooners hit just eight of its 28 threepointers in the game and missed their first eight tries of the second half. But they hit the shots when they counted.
Kansas point guard Kirk Hirnich rank two free throws that put the 'Hawks ahead, but Newton's trey and free throws gave Oklahoma a four-point lead. He added another three-pointer with 1:45 left before Kansas junior guard Brett Ballard cut the Sooners' lead to 7:57-6 on a slashing lay-up.
But the Jayhawks didn't get any closer.

Chancellor discusses cuts with frustrated athletes

TITANIC MISTAKE
DON'T SINK LUKU
Protesters wrote a new chapter in the ongoing saga surrounding the Athletics Department's decision to cut two Kansas athletic programs when they met with Chancellor Robert Hemenway Saturday in Blake Hall.

Supporters and members of the Kansas men's swimming and diving and men's tennis teams met with Hemenway after staging a protest march that started outside Robinson Center and ended at Hemenway's home near Fraser Hall.
More than 100 protesters, most wearing white t-shirts that read "Save Olympic Sports," marched through campus holding signs denouncing the cuts and reciting the Rock Chalk Chant.
The march was the second action taken by both teams after Bob Frederick, athletics director, announced last Sunday that budget issues had forced the University to discontinue the two programs after this year.
The teams are trying to gather 15,000 signatures for a petition against the
program cuts.
Hemenway met the protesters outside his home and invited them into Blake Hall to discuss the issue. He answered questions about how the department arrived at its decision and ways to reverse it.
Many of the questions centered around what other options Frederick and the department could have exercised instead of eliminating the two sports.
One of the most vocal protesters was
Monte Johnson, a former Kansas athletics director from 1982-87. Johnson chastised Frederick for not working harder to avoid the program cuts.
Johnson said as athletics director, he used to solve budget issues by calling alumni and asking for financial donations. He said Frederick may have been
"It's the most sickening thing that I've seen since I've been back in Lawrence that they're cutting sports to save money," Johnson said as protesters gathered in a circle before the march.
"The easiest thing to do is to cut a sport." Johnson said. "The hardest thing to do is to work your butt off to make these sports have a chance."
Hemenway said he wasn't aware of other options that were explored to avoid the cut, but he pledged to have Frederick meet with the athletes to discuss details at a later date.
able to avoid the program cuts had he tried to raise the money himself.
Hemenway left the door open for possible reinstatement of the programs if financial issues were worked out, but he remained skeptical because of how much money it would take to save the programs. Hemenway said the University would need about a $12 million endowment fund to keep the two sports running down the road.
"It's a money issue," he said. "If money came forth to make it a nonissue, then it'd be a pretty easy decision." Kansas swimmer Jeremy Howard said he thought the team had a legitimate shot at raising enough money to keep the programs.
"I've only been here for one year and I've personally been in contact with enough people who are willing to donate a half-million dollars," he said.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Noian Johnson had 18 points and 13 rebounds as No. 16 Oklahoma recovered from an 18-point deficit to beat No. 20 Texas 54-45 yesterday in the Big 12 Tournament championship game in Kemper Arena.
Oklahoma beats Texas wins Big 12 tourney
The Sooners were 6-of-28 from the field in the first half, scoring 14 points, the lowest total in the any half of a Big 12 Tournament game.
Texas (25-8) had only three field goals in the second half and none during the final 11 minutes.
The Sooners (26-6) went 15-of-16 down the stretch at the free-throw line against Texas to complete the comeback.
The Sooners missed 10 of their first 11 shots before Hollis Price connected on a three-point shot with 7:47 left, making it 15-6. They missed their next nine shots until Price put in a 12-footer.
Then the Sooners launched their comeback with baskets by Johnson, Kelley Newton and Daryan Selvy in a 6-0 run. The Sooners trailed 26-14
at halftime.
Price drilled a three-pointer and Johnson stole a pass and drove in for a dunk as the Sooners extended their

run to 15-2, outscoring the Longhours 7-0 to start the second half. Texas was without a field goal until Evans hit a three-point shot four minutes into the second半.
After Johnson's heavily defended lap slice up the Texas lead to 32-31, Selvey stole a pass and drove in for a behind-the-back dunk that gave the Sooners their first lead and brought the Oklahoma crowd roaring to its feet.
Chris Owens hit a 10-foot jumper for the Longhorns' third field goal of the half with 3:28 left, tying it at 45-45. Then Johnson completed a three-point play that gave the Sooners a 48-45 lead with 1:44 left.

Duke, which shared the regular-season title with North Carolina but was the No. 2 seed, became only the third team to win the ACC tournament three years in a row, joining North Carolina (1967-69) and North Carolina State (1954-56).

Kentucky (22-9) is

SEC split into two divisions in 1992. The Wildcats have won this championship eight of the last 10 years.
Not even the most loyal Kentucky fan could have expected this after the Wildcats started the season by losing of their first eight games. But when the league's top seeds met Sunday for the tournament title, Mississippi (25-7) didn't have a chance.
The Rebels brought in a three-game winning streak, but they had their worst shooting day of the season (18-of62 for 29 percent) and now are 0-12 against Kentucky in the SEC Tournament.
iowa holds off Indiana wraps up Big Ten title
CHICAGO — Brody Boyd scored 22 points and Reggie Evans finished with 11 rebounds and two blocked shots — including a last-second deflection of a three-point shot by Kirk Haston — as Iowa beat Indiana 63-61 yesterday, to win the Big Ten Tournament.
As the buzer sounded, the Iowa players rushed the floor. Leading scorer Luke Recker, the former Indiana player who has been sidelined by a broken kneecap since Iowa's Jan. 27 victory against his old team, grabbed Iowa coach Steve Alford in a bear hug.
The victory gave Iowa (22-11) an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
It was an apropos moment, considering it was Hoosiers who helped Iowa to the victory. Boyd made three straight three-pointers and got Iowa back in the game.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As the Kansas City Chiefs continue their search for a quarterback to replace Elvis Grbac, Trent Green is due in town today for a physical exam.
The Chiefs have discussed a
The Office is trade for Green with the St. Louis Rams, who have given permission for the medical exam of their
CHEEPS
backup quarterback. Green, 30,
recently had arthroscopic surgery
to clean up scar tissue on his knee.
He had been expected to be the Rams' starter after signing with them as a free agent in 1999, but an injury in the preseason resulted in reconstructive surgery that sidelined him for the year.
With Green out, the unheralded Kurt Warner stepped in and became the NFL's MVP as he led the Dick Vermell-coached Rams to a Super Bowl championship. Green filled in for five games last season when Warner was hurt.
The Kansas City Star said sources indicated that the Chiefs wanted assurances of Green's physical condition before proceeding with a possible trade for him.
Should a trade be completed before Thursday, when Green is due a $500,000 roster bonus, the
Chiefs would have to pay that bonus and have it count against their salary cap.
Grbac spent four years with the Chiefs and made the Pro Bowl last season after passing for 28 touchdowns and 4,169 yards. But he became a free agent and signed with the Baltimore Ravens for $30 million for five years.
Two prospective replacements for Grbac, Brad Johnson and Doug Flutie, canceled visits to Kansas City and signed with other teams last week. The Chiefs are hoping to bring in Troy Alkman, the high-profile star just released by the Dallas Cowboys.
Vermail, now Kansas City's new head coach, said it's important not to be hasty in the search.
"The worst thing you can do in free-agency — all you have to do when you study the stats that have been released over the years — is panic," Vermeil said. "I have no problem making quick decisions, but quick decisions are usually made when the answer is obvious."
The Chiefs are traditionally patient when surveying the freeagent market. They hold lengthy deliberations about the merits of a player, even when that forces them to miss a prospect who doesn't want to wait.
Seven NFL teams have acquired a quarterback since March 1, ranging from starters such as Tampa Bay's Johnson and San Diego's Flutie to backups such as Detroit's Jim Harbaugh and Atlanta's Eric Zeier.
An eighth team, Miami, signed Ray Lucas of the New York Jets, a restricted free agent, to an offer sheet.
The Chiefs, meanwhile, are still sorting through their options.
"I'm behind where I should have been," Vermilie said. "I made a mistake. I just assumed we'd get a deal done with Elvis. I never considered it less than 60-40 that we'd get a contract done with Elvis. I was still covering my bases, but not as intensely as I am now."
Green is a favorite of Vermelh and his offensive coordinator Al Saunders — who was with him at St. Louis. But a trade for Green would probably cost a No. 1 draft choice, perhaps more.
"We're going to take our time and go through those that are available," said Chiefs president and general manager Carl Peterson.
He noted that Gus Frerotte and Bubby Brister are among the quarterbacks still around and said, "I would not be surprised as we move through this free-agency period that there will be some other guys that come available."
"We're getting mailers from everybody," said Vermell.

Your pepperoni is tastier and of better quality than most. Why?
A:
My pepperoni comes from Salami...the best! It's made in the traditional Italian method using a unique blend of 8 herbs and spices. Using the finest domestic pork and beef, they dry it for at least 14 days in their aging rooms to develop its outstanding firmness and flavor.

Jayhawks drop series with two weekend losses to Tigers

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Kansas just can't seem to win one-run game.
PORTRAIT OF BASEBALL PLAYER DIVIDING THE BASE.

The Jayhawks' 1-0 loss against Missouri at Taylor Stadium yesterday was their fourth one-run loss in Big 12 Conference play and also their third conference series loss. The Jayhawks (8-9 overall and 2-7 in the Big 12) defeated the Tigers 7-4 Friday, but also lost 8-2 on Saturday.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said the breaks just weren't going for the Jayhawks yesterday.
"We hit some balls today that could've helped us, and they just weren't falling," Randall said. "I'm proud with the way we fought today, and I told them that we'll start winning these close games if we keep fighting."
Kansas junior starter Justin Wilcher and Missouri freshman starter Shaun Marcum both opened the game with six shutout
innings. Doug Dreher led off the top of the seventh with a hard single up the middle. Jesse Gremminger followed with a sacrifice bunt attempt in which Missouri catcher Jon Williams unsuccessfully tried to throw Dreher out at second. After a Brent Del Chiaro sacrifice bunt, Ryan Klocksien ripped a 3-2 Marcum pitch toward left field. But Tiger shortstop Ryan Stegal made a diving catch and doubled Dreher off third base for Missouri's important inning-ending double play. Randall said Stegal made the play of the game.
"When Ryan Klocksien hit that rocket and it got caught, the momentum of the game totally changed," Randall said.
Missouri's W.T. Hoover scored the lone run of yesterday's game in the bottom half of the seventh inning on Luke Cassi's double over centerfielder Jason Appuhn's head.
Trailing 1-0. Kansas once again fell just short in a ninth-inning
comeback attempt.
Wilcher took the loss despite giving up just one earned run on five hits in seven innings. Wilcher was pitching for the first time in two weeks after suffering from soreness in his arm.
fell behind a few hitters, but I was just trying to keep them off balance," Wilcher said. "My changeup and fastball were both working and I was trying to get them to beat the ball in the ground or pop it up."
"I felt kind of rusty because I missed my last start, and I kind of
Kansas' victory Friday night was familiar — another Pete Smart start, another Jayhawk victory
The senior pitcher extended his record to 4-0 on the season in Kansas' 7-4 victory at Hoglund Ballpark. Smart surrendered four runs on nine hits before turning the game to junior closer Doug Lantz. Lantz shut out the Tigers in the last three innings and recorded his fifth save of the season.
Saturday, the Jayhawks stranded several key runners and made three crucial baserunning mistakes in their 8-2 loss to Missouri at Taylor Stadium. Randall was visibly upset with Kansas' lackluster performance.
"The they clutch-hit today, and we didn't," Randall said. "Two times we get leadoff doubles and can't score them, that's just bad hitting."
The Jayhawks resume action at 3 p.m. tomorrow against Illinois-Chicago at Hoglund Ballpark.
Baseball notes
With his 77th career stolen base Friday night, John Nelson broke the Big 12 career stolen base record, which was previously held by Jason Tyner of Texas A & M.
Appuhn's home run Saturday was his first of the season. The sophomore centerfielder led Kansas in hitting this weekend by going 5 for 10 (.500).

Teams not treated with respect
Dignity. Respect. Integrity. Accountability.
These are the core values listed in the University of Kansas Student-Athlete Handbook. These values have been grossly violated by Athletics Director Bob Frederick and the Athletics Department within the past week. The Department of Athletics' Mission Statement dictates that all personnel, including athletes and coaches, "are committed to treating each other with dignity and respect."
communists
Were the members of the men's swimming and diving and tennis programs treated with dignity or respect when they were notified without warning that their programs would no longer exist? No.
Guest columnists
Neither of these programs were notified in advance of possible elimination nor were they given a chance to be held accountable or make cuts to their budgets. Men's swimming coach Doug Dickinson said "I could cut $100,000 without lifting a finger."
Many of the student-athletes were notified of the announcement before the official meeting with Frederick. Members of student government and fellow student-athletes knew of the cuts days before the teams found out. This shows a great deal of disrespect toward these student-athletes on the part of Frederick and the department as a whole.
Cory Gallagher and Jeremy Howard sports@kansan.com
Not being given that chance is part of a larger problem pervading the department as a whole. The department employs seven associate or assistant athletics directors. These administrative positions, as well as all other administrative positions in the department, have gone untouched while the pool of student-athletes to whom the administrators pledge their support has been reduced by more than 10 percent. Obviously, there is money floating around.
The annual training trip taken by the men's swimming team, which accounts for more than $75,000, would willingly be discounted at the welfare of the program's future. Other excessive travel expenses include $300-plus airline tickets and $250-plus-a-night hotel rooms.
We understand travel costs have
increased since Kansas joined the Big 12, but given the statistics listed above, there is obviously room for improvement.
With minimal cuts of about $30,000 in each of the 18 sports' budgets, both programs could be saved. By spreading the financial burden across all sports the misfortune of more than 50 student-athletes can be easily avoided.
Frederick had the option of making minor cuts to each program or cutting two sports completely. He did not give either program a chance to explore any other budget options than their elimination.
Everyone can do a small part to help a phone call or an e-mail expressing concern. If you are Kansas alumni, sympathetic toward the swimming and diving or tennis teams or are angered by the discontinuity of programs at the collegiate level, you can take action.
Donors to the University:
Threaten discontinuation of your support. With public outcry and publicization of this unsound financial decision, this battle can be won.
For more information, contact Jeremy Howard (312-2182 or redsox_99@hotmail.com) or Cory Gallagher (312-7451 or sxeswlimmer@hotmail.com).

Eighth place gives men's track best finish since '89
By Michael Sudhalter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team had its own form of March Madness this weekend when six athletes excelled at the NCAA Championships in Favetteville, Ark
The Jayhawks finished eighth in the nation at the final indoor event of the season — their best finish since 1989. Kansas finished 47th last year at the NCAA Championships.
Seniors Scott Russell, Charlie Gruber, Andy Tate and Jabari Wamble, and junior Brian Blachly
and Ryan Speers all played a major role in Kansas's strong showing.
"We are excited for the eighthplace finish, but we are more excited for the athletes," Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said. "I think all the hard work and dedication these six athletes have put into our season has paid off."
Gruber placed second in the mile event with a time of 3:58.51. That, coupled with his efforts on the sixth-place distance medley team, earned Gruber all-American honors in two different events in the same season — something only three other males in Kansas track history have accomplished.
TRACK AND FIELD
"It's nice to break the four-minute mark for the first time," Gruber said. "It means a lot knowing you went out and gave it your best effort. I wanted to go out with a bang because this is my last indoor season, and I feel like I did that. I'm also happy for our team. We all really performed at our
best this weekend."
Redwine said he was impressed with Gruber and the rest of the distance medley relay team — Blachly, Tate and Wamble.
"I think our DMR team ran a great race, and I'm extremely excited for them," Redwine said. "I think Kansas track and field has taken another step forward, and we are looking for more great things from this program in the future."
Senior Scott Russell finished third in the highly contested weight throw with a 76-8 toss. The throw set a new personal, school and Canadian National record for Russell.
Redwine said he was pleased with everything Russell has provided for the team this season.
"Scott had a huge day for us and himself," Redwine said. "We are excited for him to place third in the weight throw. The two guys ahead of Scott are great competitors and had excellent days."
Speers also helped Kansas to its highest finish in 12 years with sixth-place in the shot put. Speers moved his way into the Kansas record books by throwing the fourth best mark in school history with a toss of 62-7.
Louisiana State University came away with the NCAA title, while Texas Christian and Arkansas finished second and third, respectively.
Kansas will now focus on its outdoor season at the North Texas Invitational on March 24 in Denton, Texas.
"Again, we are excited for the team and athletes, but now we need to focus on the outdoor season," Redwine said. "We need to continue to get better day by day, week by week. If we have athletes that step up and perform at their best, we will do great."

This isn't the seamy, back-stabbing biz we generally see. Hanging with Isak and the band, making music videos with stars such as Bai Ling and getting banana bread from a friendly stalker are carefree fun.
LOS ANGELES — He's a sexy rocker with a sly sense of humor. They are two of the most artful writers in television, with Northern Exposure among their credits.
Team Chris Isaak with Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider on a comedy series, and it turns out to be a perfect match.
Comparisons can be made to HBO's The Larry Sanders Show, Garry Shandling's talk show spoof, and some are apt. Isak is backed by colorful supporting characters, and celebrities including actress Minnie Driver and singer Stevie Nicks drop in as themselves.
In the opening episodes, Isaak is teased by his friends as a cheapskate who
The Chris Isaak Show (which debuts at 9 ontour on Showtime) is a zesty romp through a fictionalized version of Isaak's on and off-stage life, with the musician playing a droll version of himself.
reuses disposable cups (with lipstick stains!) and plays peeping Tom when a woman dances naked in a hotel room across from his.
Chris Isaak, is this really your life?
"If it was untrue but funny, we'd lie," she Isaak said. "Verisimilitude and reality are low, hijinks and mirth are high. If it was funnier, I'd play a dentist."
Isaak paints the collaboration with Frolov and Schneider as a balancing act.
"If you left it to them, they'd have poignant, meaningful stories, and if you left it to me and the band, everything would take place between a urinal and a strip club," he said. "Somewhere between the two, I hope we land."
He gets strong backup, particularly from cast members Jed Rees (Galaxy Quest) as a wayward band member and Kristin Dattilo as a highstrung agent. Isaak's real band members get into the spirit of things.
And then there's the magic provided by Frolov and Schneider. Isaak's show is reminiscent of the wry quiriness of Northern Exposure, the 1990-95 CBS series set in a tiny Alaskan town.

Soccer team preps for season with two ties
By Cássio Furtado
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's soccer team tied two exhibition matches yesterday against club teams at Memorial Stadium.
The Jayhawks tied both the Challenge Soccer Club of Houston 1-1 and Tulaa Soccer Club 0-0. Sophomore forward Carmel Kaplinger scored the only Kansas goal of the day against Challenge S.C. She also remained active against Tulaa S.C. by creating several goal opportunities for the Jayhawks.
Coach Mark Francis said that both games offered a similar level of challenge to his team, and that the matches would help the Jayhawks prepare for the upcoming season.
Despite pressuring Tulsa S.C. for most of the second half, Kansas was unable to score more than once in the two matches.
Kaplinger had an 18-yard drive tipped over the bar in the second half against Tulsa S.C. and freshman midfielder Maggie Mason had a header attempt rolled weakly into Tulsa's goalkeeper's arms for two of the Jayhawks two best chances in the game.
"Both teams came in and gave us a good game, which is why we brought them in this weekend," Francis said. "On our part, we did a very good job in the defensive and middle thirds of the field, but in the attacking third we had chances and need to finish better. That has been a problem for us and we are continuing to work on that."
Francis said he liked the way the defense and midfield positioned without the ball, even though he acknowledged several players were not playing in their original positions.
"I'm pretty happy with how we did," Francis said. "But we look to improve individually and as a group."
Francis said that one of the most positive aspects of yesterday's games was that the Jayhawks only gave up one goal in the two matches.
Kaplinger said that even though the
team still needed to improve for the next season, it had played good games against Challenge S.C. and Tulsa S.C.
"I just wish I had scored more goals," Kaplinger said.
The Jayhawks played the matches on the new Astroplay surface at Memorial Stadium and were the first soccer contests to take place on the six-month-old surface.
The surface is used in the United States primarily for American football, but it is used by European professional soccer clubs.
The two games marked the first eleven-a-side matches for the 'Hawks since the end of last season in November.
They had played three seven-a-side matches on March 3, in Tulsa, Okla. The 'Hawks then defeated Southern Nazarent 6-0 in the first game before dropping a 3-1 decision to Oral Roberts and a 7-6 result to a team of coaches.
The Jayhawks will play again on Sunday, April 1, in Memphis, Tenn., at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. Edited by Jon Pillman

F or more than a year, Sara Wunder has spent nearly every Sunday morning saving local wildlife.
Wunder, Topeka junior, volunteers for Operation Wildlife, a wildlife rehabilitation center in the countryside near Linwood. Fifteen highly trained staff members and more than 100 volunteers, including some University of Kansas students, care year-round for injured or sick animals at the center, Kansas' largest wildlife rehabilitation clinic.
Wunder, who is majoring in organismal biology, said working with animals at Operation WildLife was meaningful on a personal level.

The center, established in 1989 by registered veterinary technician Diane Johnson, maintains a release rate of67 percent, compared to the national average of49 percent. The operation is funded solely by public donations.
Wunder said the knowledge gained while volunteering for the center was enhanced by Johnson's intelligence and supportive approach. She called Johnson a friend and a mentor.

Johnson said students, who make up 10 to 20 percent of the volunteers, gained a lot from working at Operation WildLife because of the hands-on nature of the job.

Spam e-mail hits Exchange users
University works to prevent recurrence
By Cassio Furtado writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
University officials have started taking steps to prevent spam e-mails after being caught off-guard last week by an unsolicited advertisement sent to some students on the Exchange e-mail server.
Some KU students using Exchange
received a spam e-mail promoting Tostitts chips last Tuesday.
The e-mail was sent from KU Exchange coordinator Thela Simons' account without her knowledge.
Jerree Catlin, associate director or academic computing, said the spammers probably submitted the e-mail through one of many Web forms that allow anyone with some computer knowledge to send an e-mail using someone else's name and e-mail address.
"There are Web pages like that all over," Simons said.
Cattlin said that the person who sent the e-mail probably obtained Simons' information from e-mails she had sent, using a listserv, to all students who have transferred their KU e-mail accounts to the Exchange server.
Simons said she only used the listserv on rare occasions to post announcements and links directing students to Web sites related to the migration to the Exchange server.
Simons said she didn't want people to think that she would send spam to students who had subscribed to the listserv.
"I felt very upset about it," she said. Catlin said the University couldn't do much to block e-mails that come from outside accounts, so the only step it could take was to shut down the listserv for students on Exchange. Catlin said the University had turned off the list.
"There always those out there trying to get outside rules and regulations," Catlin said.

Students respond to retake rule
Policy draws mixed reviews
By Andrew Davies writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Duane Bruce thinks students who have a bad academic semester deserve another chance.
That's why the Chillicothe, Mo., graduate student and University Council member voted in favor of a new course retake policy.
The University Council, comprised of students, faculty and staff, approved the proposed course, retake, policy

students who retake a class. It also means grades of A, B or C received in the first class are averaged with the grade from the second class taken. Under the current policy, all grades are included in the GPA.
Under the new policy, students could also retake a class in which they received a D or F without University approval, unless they received a failing grade because of academic misconduct.
Bruce said University Council took into account that college was the first time many people lived on their own and made the transition from depending on their parents.
"The consensus would be a policy such as this would be a support for students who experience academic difficulty in their first 60 hours of course work," he said.
But he did say the new policy would allow students to avoid some responsibility for their grades.
"The only argument I've heard against it is that a policy such as this might prolong adolescence," he said. "It gives
students an excuse to not do well because if they don't do well they have a chance to retake the course."
Jeff Boone, Olathe senior,
said students who have had a bad semester deserved a second chance.
"If you're paying the money to retake the class and you get a better grade, I think that's what you should be rewarded with," he said.
But Rachel Pinon, Topeka senior, said students would still have to take responsibility for their original grades in courses they retake. Those grades will remain available to employers and graduate schools under the new policy, because they will still be included on transcripts.
"I think that if it's still on your transcript, the important places will still look at it and see it," she said.
Others think the new policy will be too lenient.
Bernard Hirsch, associate professor of English, said he was opposed to the policy because students needed to take the blame for their grades.
"My sense is at some point, people have to take responsibility for their actions or performance." he said.
The new course retake policy is not official yet.
Students have ample opportunity to drop a course or get help from the professor if it is too difficult, Hirsch said.
Members of the University Senate will be officially notified within 10 working days of last week's vote and will have an additional 10 working days to turn in petitions for a Senate review.
icy at the April 12 meeting.
If 100 signatures are collected, a ballot on approval of the policy will be mailed to members of the Senate.
If 50 signatures of University Senate members are collected, the Senate will discuss the policy at the April 12 meeting.
If less than 50 signatures are collected, the University administration will approve or reject the measure.

Hall director involved in fight
By Cynthia Malakasis
Kansan staff writer
A physical fight that broke out between the Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall director and the vice president of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall is being investigated by the Department of Student Housing.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the department was considering disciplinary action against the students involved in the fight.
"We're not finished looking at it yet," Stoner said. "It's still subject to the determination of what happened there."
Cory Doolittle, vice president of Battenfeld, said Jeremy Fotheringham, Grace Pearson director, punched him in the face when he tried to interfere and prevent a conflict from exploding between Fotheringham and another Battenfeld resident after the game.
The fight occurred after an intramural basketball game between the two halls last Tuesday.
Doolittle, Lincoln, Neb., senior, said a Battenfeld player yelled something at Fotheringham. Doolittle stepped in when Fotheringham, American Fork, Utah, law student, shouted, "What did you say?" and started toward the resident.
"He threw up his arm and hit me."
Doolittle reported the incident to Dan Suitor, the complex director for the scholarship halls. Suitor apologized on behalf of Fotheringham and instructed Doolittle to file an incident report with student housing.
Doolittle said.
Doolittle said he had no opportunity to respond because Fotheringham's fliancee got between them.
Doolittle said he filed a report Wednesday but had not yet received a response.
Matt Hastings, Leawood junior and Battenfeld resident, declined to describe the incident because he had not been present at the game. But he said judging from his knowledge of Fotheringham's character, he did not believe he could be at fault.
"I just want it to be taken care of appropriately," Doolittle said. "Something needs to be done."
Fotheringham declined to confirm or deny the incident.
Stoner said there was no standard disciplinary procedure applied by student housing to this type of incident and that each case was evaluated separately.
"Our director did nothing wrong," he said.
No police report had been filed on the incident.

VOICE coalition unveils election platform
Advising program a goal of Senate candidates
By Brooke Hasler writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Making University of Kansas students feel like more of a name than a number is one of the primary goals of theVOICE coalition, said Jessica Bankston, student body presidential candidate.
Announcing its platform this week, Bankston said the coalition would work to develop a retention and monitoring program that would pair undergraduates with faculty members when they entered the University.
"I think for a lot of students, advising feels more like an annoyance," Bankston said. "I think it could be a lot more productive."
She said the coalition would also continue the work of the Student Senate Minority Recruitment and Retention
Committee started this year.
Hunter Harris, vice presidential candidate, said that, if elected, he would continue to work with the chancellor to make sure the issue was being pursued by the administration.
Making students' voices heard in Topeka and at the City Commission was another goal Bankston cited. She saidVOICE would possibly pursue the creation of a permanent student position with the commission.
The coalition will also work to develop a faculty/course evaluation system that students could view before they enrolled. Bankston said.
Bankston said the coalition would lobby the state legislature in the fall. She said the group would work to restore state funds for technology on campus. Currently, students pay a $1 technology fee per credit hour, which is matched by the state with $2 per credit hour. Gov. Bill Graves did not include the matching funds in
VOICE also wants to see the construction of a "Jayhawk Station," a centrally located hub on campus that would provide students with refreshments, snacks, newspapers and announcements of upcoming events.
his budget proposal for the fiscal year beginning in July.
Both Bankston and Harris said the platform was the result of a three-week "listening tour" by the coalition. Members of the coalition surveyed different campus organizations and living groups to see what students wanted on the platform.
Harris said the tour was a success. He said it exemplified the philosophy of the campaign, which was making students' voices heard.
"We visited groups ranging from HALO to the KU Cycling Club," he said. "We came up with issues that affect everyone on campus."

2001 football tickets have wrong game days
The Athletic Department made a mistake on an order form for 2011, football season tickets that listed the wrong dates for three games.
The forms state the Southwest Missouri, UCLA and Wyoming games will be in August. Instead, they will be in September.
Diane Grover, employee at the Athletic Ticket Office, said she had mailed 200 to 300 forms before realizing the mistake.
Grover didn't think the error would be a problem for most season-ticket holders and that the problem had been corrected. She said the ticket office would notify people who bought season tickets of the error by phone or by sending a written correction.

Suspect caught hiding behind rack of clothes
Clothes hanging in a closet weren't enough to hide a man trying to steal items from a KU student's residence Saturday, Lawrence police said.
Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Patrick said a KU student was asleep in a residence in the 2700 block of Grand Circle when she heard someone enter the residence at about 4 a.m.
The woman locked her bedroom door and called the police from her closet. Patrick said.
An officer eventually found the suspect trying to hide behind clothing hung on a
rack in an upstairs bedroom.
The woman said she did not know the suspect.
Jacob P. Forbes, Lawrence freshman, was booked into the Douglas County Jail Saturday morning on charges of aggravated burglary and theft between $500 and $25,000. He was released Saturday afternoon on a $10,000 check from a financial institution. His first court appearance will be at 3 p.m.

Nasdaq below 2,000;
Dow falls 2.2 percent
NEW YORK — The Nasdaq composite index dropped below 2,000 for the first time in 27 months yesterday. The selling spread to blue chips and sent the Dow Jones industrials skidding more than 200 points.
Wall Street continued a selloff begun last week following warnings from tech bellwethers Yahoo!, Intel and Cisco Systems, all of which said the weak economy would cut into their business in the coming months.
In afternoon trading on Wall Street, the Nasdaq fell 83.87 to 1,968.91, a 4.1 percent loss. The technology-focused index is now 60 percent off the all-time high of 5,048.62 reached on March 10, 2000. The last time the index traded below 2,000 was Dec. 16, 1998.
The Dow, meanwhile, fell 234.48 to 10,410.14, a 2.2 percent decline. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 33.13 to 1,200.29 for a loss of 2.7 percent.
Hispanic population sees explosive growth
WASHINGTON — Hispanics now rival non-Hispanic African Americans as the country's leading minority group, according to Census 2000 data.
The figures also documented explosive growth in the Asian and Native-American populations and offered the first coast-tocoast look at how many people classified themselves as members of more than one race.
The increasing presence of Hispanics "means African-Americans have a better partner" in terms of shared political and socioeconomic issues, said Dr. William Spriggs, director of the Institute for Opportunity and Equality at the National Urban League.
NEW YORK — The lawyer defending Sean "Puffy" Combs yesterday portrayed witnesses who testified against the rap mogul as liars hoping to profit from lawsuits they had filed against him
Puffy's lawyer says witnesses were greedy
"Bad people came into this courtroom and made bad accusations because they wanted to get rich," said attorney Benjamin Brafman, alluding to the billion dollars in lawsuits filed
against Combs as a result of the shooting at Club New York on Dec. 27, 1999.
Brafman noted that of the 50 witnesses who testified, only two said they saw a gun in Combs' hand in the club. Both have sued Combs.
Combs, 31, and his bodyguard, Anthony "Wolf" Jones, 34, are charged with gun possession and bribery for allegedly trying to pay Combs' driver, Wardell Fenderson, to take the gun rap for Combs.
Israel's cabinet meets amid Ramallah debate
WORLD
JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Ariel Sharon convened his Cabinet for a first meeting yesterday amid sharp disagreement among ministers about the army's new chokehold on Ramallah, the Palestinians' political and commercial center in the West Bank. The blockade was imposed Sunday, with tanks, trenches and ramparts cutting off all access to Ramallah and isolating dozens of nearby villages with thousands of residents.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan residents lamented the destruction of two soaring statues of Budha by their country's Taliban rulers.
Afghans saddened by blown-up Buddhas
"It's all gone now. Even if peace comes, the statues will not be there," Ahmed Ali said yesterday.
Hewn from a cliff face in the 3rd and 5th centuries, the statues measured 170 feet and 120 feet, respectively. The taller is believed to be the world's largest standing Buddha.
They were completely demolished last week by Taliban soldiers who used explosives to reduce them to a pile of rubble, international aid workers said.
Local residents had come to think of the statues as neighbors, viewing the taller one as a man and the smaller one a female, although no body parts were visible.
They named the tailer one Solsol, meaning year after year, and the smaller one Shahmma, or kingmother.
"Of course everyone is upset with this. I tell you I couldn't think of anything else last night when I heard they were gone," Ali said.

Navy bomb kills 5 in Kuwait
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A U.S. Navy F/A-18 jet accidentally dropped a bomb on military personnel during a training exercise yesterday at a bombing range in northern Kuwait, killing at least five people, including four Americans and one New Zealander, Pentagon officials said.
Details were sketchy and there was confusion among Pentagon officials about the number of deaths. Officials initially said it was five but then raised the figure to six before going back to five.
Two of the Americans killed were from the Army and two were from the Air Force, said one official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Brett Bartos, a consul at the New Zealand Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, told The Associated Press that a New Zealander was killed in the accident. He refused to give any other details.
Col. Ahmed al-Rahmani of the Kuwait Defense Ministry told Kuwait TV that six people were killed and some of those injured were in critical condition. He did not elaborate. A short time later, some Pentagon officials who had previously reported six fatalities said the correct number was five.
There was no official Pentagon announcement of the accident or the number killed and injured. Officials gathering details would discuss the matter only on condition of anonymy.
One Pentagon official said an estimated 10 people were injured. A second official said no civilians were involved.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman would say only that there had been a "training accident" and that there were an unspecified number of casualties.
The accident happened at the Udaira bombing range in Kuwait, about 28 miles from the Iraqi border. One official said those killed and injured were involved in a multinational training exercise in which ground forces direct strike aircraft to specific targets. It was not clear what went wrong yesterday.

KJHK opens studio in Kansas Union
Station's second site offers visibility

Kansas staff write
KJHK, 90.7 FM, broadcast yester day the first show from its new stu dio in the Kansas Union.
Real Alternative Radio, a talk show, was the premier program for the radio studio, which is located in the dining commons near Pizza Hut on the third floor of the Union.
From the dining area and through a large outside window, about 20 students watched the broadcast—a discussion about the Black Student Union's protest last week of the University Daily Kansan.
Brandon Garner, Kansas City, Kan., senior, experienced the show visually while a nearby boom box provided the sounds. He said the opportunity for students in attendance to pose questions to members of the discussion panel was a positive change.
"I think it's a better format for interaction from the public," Garner said.
Phil Cauton, Lawrence graduate student, was the host of the broadcast. He said the new location provided more visibility for KJKH than its main studio north of Memorial Stadium.
"It's out of the students' sight.

think about it," Cauton said of the original studio. "We need to have some sort of physical presence on campus, and there's no better place than Pizza Hut at the Union."
The new studio includes basic equipment — a sound board, CD player, tape deck and microphones. Caution said the first show was a success from a technical viewpoint.
"Things went as smoothly as you could expect from a first run," he said.
C. J. Wilford, St. Louis junior and KJKH disc jockey, said the location would continue to be used for special events or any broadcast that might garner a physical audience.
"This benefits our campus relationship," Wilford said. "It puts the face with the voices."

Members of the Black Student Union, Black student organizations and the University Daily Kansan staff met to discuss the media's coverage of minorities during a live broadcast on KJHK, 90.7 FM, yesterday.
The discussion, broadcast as KJHK's first show from a new studio at the Kansas Union, was in response to recent tensions between the two campus groups.
Last week, the Black Student Union protested the Kansan's coverage of the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government, a three-

day event emphasizing leadership and attended by more than 1,000 people.
Natalie Lucas, Kansas City, Kan., senior and co-chairwoman of the conference, said the coverage of the fight was factually accurate but misrepresentative of the conference, which included speakers, a career fair and other positive events.
J. R. Roland, president of the Big 12 Council of Black Student Government, accused Kansan editor Lori O'Toole of "twisting" quotes to validate her side of the story in the opinion column she wrote in response to the controversy.
"You obviously misquoted a number of people, and one of those people was me." Pol兰 said.
O'Toole, Wichita senior, denied any intention to misconstrue points made on behalf of her critics.
She said the newspaper had afforded extra attention to getting the story right.
"There were several discussions as it made its way through the newsroom," she said. "We were aware that this story would be taken more sensitively."
Danny Phillips, Spring Hill junior and multicultural reporter for the Kansan, said he had no racial agenda but felt the fight was newsworthy.
Lucas said the pairing of the words "fight" and "minority" in the headline was a poor move by the newspaper.
"That' s going to reinforce a stereotype," she said.
"I didn't want to bury it in the story," Phillips said. He added that 15 of his 36 stories this semester had
been about African American issues, events or people.
Courtney Bates, Black Student Union president, said multicultural reporters should make every effort to understand the entire scope of minority events.
"It's all a matter of doing your research," she said.
Phil Cauthon, Lawrence graduate student and host of the discussion, asked O'Toole whether the Kansan would do things differently, given another chance.
"All the editors have agreed that we would give the conference more coverage." O'Toole said.
Other members of the discussion panel included Cassandra Young, conference co-chairwoman, Mindie Miller, managing editor for the Kansan and Chris Borniger, Kansan opinion editor.

Library thefts victimize sleeping students
Students should watch belongings at all times, police say

the Murphy Library.
A University of Kansas student fell asleep last Monday in a peaceful room where the hum of computers and fluorescent lights were the loudest sounds.
But when she woke up just 20 minutes later, her backpack was gone. Fear replaced her lingering sleepiness, and she wondered how $300 worth of her belongings were stolen within minutes and without a sound.
Since last Monday, more than $500 worth of cash and personal belongings have been stolen from University libraries. A wallet containing $59 was stolen from an unattended backpack in Watson Library last Monday and $65 was stolen from a Watson office. Last Tuesday, $55 was stolen from a student's purse in
And with midterms sending swarms of students to campus libraries to study, it may just get worse, said Sgt. Troy Mailen, KU Public Safety Office.
"Lots of students means lots of textbooks," Mailen said. "Textbooks especially are going to be valuable this spring. People can steal them from students in the library and resell them as their own."
Even backpacks are fair game to library prowlers. Maileen said.
"Look at all the people on this campus who have dark blue or black backpacks," Mailen said. "No one is going to question any walking out the door with a backpack like that."
Mailen said that although students might not consider libraries as a haven for thieves, the incidents of the past week proved otherwise.
Mailen suggested not leaving backpacks and purses unattended, even for a couple of minutes while making copies or using the restroom.
"Any unattended property is fair game. There's lots of traffic there."
"It's very convenient to just

leave your things on the table and walk off." Mailen said. "It's a pain to collect everything and spread it out again when you get back, especially if you're only gone for a couple of minutes. But put everything away. Because the sad truth is, if you don't, when you get back, it may not be there."
Whitney Gilliland discovered this firsthand. Someone stole her wallet when she fell asleep studying on the fourth floor of Watson.

put it in my bag," Gilliland said.
When she woke up, it was gone.
She said it had been right next to her arm on the table.
Fortunately, it takes less time for a library alarm to sound when students try passing through the exit with library materials that aren't checked out.
Mailen said the Public Safety Office responded to alarm calls if necessary.
"We step over to the circulation desk with the person and ask them to remove all their books from their bag." Malen said. "We interview them if they let us, then we make the determination to cite them or not."
Mailen said that persons caught with library texts would most likely be charged with misdemeanor (less than $500) theft of property, which might lead to paying a small fine or doing community service.
However, if labels were removed from the books in an effort to pass the alarms undetected, a charge of criminal damage to property could be added.

MADD educates about the dangers of binge drinking
Alcohol task force to combat social norms of drinking

With spring break approaching, Mother's Against Drunk Driving is focused on educating students about the problems caused by binge drinking.

lor for student affairs.
Ballard said one of the task force's purposes was to educate students about how to drink responsibly, but that the problem wasn't unique to the University.
Ballard said the task force had worked to have nonalcoholic programs like Hawk Nights, late night events that provide students with a social event other than going to bars.
The University has also formulated a wellness campaign which includes distributing filers stating that "most KU students drink 0 to 5 drinks when they party."
"Binge drinking is a problem at every university in the nation." she said.
Health Foundation, which donates money to the wellness campaign, said the campaign promoted the social norm that not all students drink heavily.

Still, many students are drinking.
"I have friends who have been affected by drinking to where they dropped out of school and had other problems," she said.

"I do not think that everybody does it, but it is a definite trend at KU," she said. "Most people who I've seen at parties get really drunk."
Candidates say experience important for president

Bankston has been involved in Senate for three years as a senator and committee member and Harris is serving his first year as a senator.
Mills has been involved in Senate for two years, and Browning has served in it for two years as a senator and committee member.
Browning said there were benefits to sponsoring more legislation.

Although Harris has sponsored fewer pieces of legislation than the other candidates, Harris said his work outside Senate made him a qualified candidate.
"I have a tremendous amount of experience when it comes to representing other groups," Harris said. "Most of my experience comes from outside Senate, so I have a fresh perspective on things."
Harris cited his experience as the freshman class vice president, sophomore class secretary, junior class president and his work as chairman of a Senate task force seeking student input in the campus master plan.
Browning also his cited activities outside of Senate. He served as president for Amnesty International his sophomore and junior years, is a member of Students for a Free Tibet and is a member of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice.
Bankston cited her work as Student Legislative Awareness Board director, a member of the University Council, member of the Recreation Services Advisory Board, Recreation Planning Committee, Reserve Account Task Force and Panhellenic Council as some of her qualifications.
Mills is also a University Council member and chairman of the Multicultural Affairs committee. He worked as a resident's assistant in previous years and participated in the Colors of KU conference.
According to Senate records, neither Browning nor Harris have any recorded absences at Senate meetings. Both Bankston and Mills have half of a recorded absence, meaning they left a meeting early.

British TV show fills void created by Screech's exit
Remember how much fun it was to come home after a hard day at junior high, sit down on the couch and turn on Saved by the Bell? Until a few months ago, I never imagined that any other TV program could rival its artistic genius.
Who could forget those classic plot lines where the good-natured but often misguided actions of youth clash with the staunch and oppressive constraints of modern society? I still get chills when I recall how Zack was brazen enough to have Screech's birthday party in Principal Belding's office, of all places.
As you probably know, it's hard to find an episode of the original Saved by the Bell on afternoon television anymore. Sure, you can catch an occasional episode of The
College Years or The New Class, but those series just don't do anything for me. In fact, it sickens me to see a fine actor such as Dustin Diamond squander his talent in such meaningless roles.
Not being able to watch any quality high school antics on television left me in a serious depression for a while. It got so bad, in fact, that I was almost ready to start watching Dawson's Creek
Matt Overstreet columnist opinion@kansan.com

Have you ever asked yourself what would happen if you crossed the Spice Girls with a Seinfeld episode and then locked the entire cast in a Winnebago? I certainly hadn't, until I discovered S Club 7.
Luckily, in my darkest hour, I turned on the TV and found what I've been waiting for my entire life — the perfect television show.
If you're not familiar with the show, the premise is that a band from Great Britain comes to the States with hopes of making it big. Along the way, they meet a variety of wacky characters and find plenty of opportunities to solve problems by singing and dancing.
To fully understand the genius of *S Club* 7, imagine the Monkees, then replace Peter Tork, Davey Jones and the rest with four hot teen-age girls. Throw in some eye-catching special effects and some hip 21st century pop-culture references, and you've got perhaps the greatest television series ever. *S Club* 7 truly has everything: humor, drama, skimpy tank-tops and catchy musical numbers that are so simple, they make N 'Sync sound like Radiohead.
Like most shows geared for girls aged five to 13, the plots of S Club 7 are rather basic, but occasionally they do address serious social issues. A couple of weeks ago, for example, one of the guys in the band, Bradley, was seriously injured when he was struck by a "manic roller-blading ex-hip-pie" (an actual quote from the Web site).
Injuries caused by out-of-control rollerbladers are one of the most serious issues troubling teens today, and I'm glad somebody finally had the guts to address this problem.
If you're like me and are intimidated by men with facial hair — have no fear. The three male members of S Club 7 have most certainly been castrated. And unlike other teen-oriented television programs such as Dawson's Creek, you don't need a degree in psychology to understand what the characters on S Club 7 are talking about.
Through hours of "research," (most of which involved watching television and downloading pictures of the female members of the band), I have become quite an $ Club 7 expert. And I'm not the only one. The show's brand of hip but easily accessible humor has bred quite an enthusiastic fan base in the States.
If you don't believe me, I can show you the scars I incurred in a scuff at the local Hy-Vee. One might imagine it would be easy to wrestle an *S Club 7* action figure away from a pack of 10-year-old girls, but believe me, it isn't. (I got your mom's license plate number, so watch out, you little punks.)
If you miss wacky and substance-free teen programming, I suggest you check out $ Club 7. If you dig food fights choreographed to pop music, funny British accents, handsome but unintimidating eunuchs or barely legal teenage girls, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

The rich must pay more in taxes to help the poor
Taxing the rich is good for the economy.
Let's run through a simple economics lesson. In our hypothetical world, say there's four people: a rich person with an income of $100, a poor person with an income of $10, a bubble-gum salesman and a government bureaucrat. At this point, the economy is worth $110
Republicans favor sales taxes because they tax people equal dollar amounts.
Say a pack of gum costs $5, and there's a 20 percent sales tax on it. The rich person and poor person each buy a pack, adding $10 to the economy. The $1 tax on each pack sends $2 to the bureaucrat, who hands it over to the poor person in the form of a (gasp!) welfare check.
DENNIS C. MASON
That spending, and it is
John Audelhelm columnist opinion@ansan.com
That spending, and it is spending, adds another $2 to the economy. Subtract the dollar the poor person put in, and the Republican economy is worth $121.
Democrats, on the other hand, favor income taxes because they tax people equally.
An income tax of 10 percent would take $10 from the rich person and $1 from the poor person. Because the tax is not a significant deterrent, both people still buy $10 worth of gum.
That's 7.4 percent more than the Republican one, and with half the tax rate. (What's that about Democrats not understanding basic market principles?)
But now, the welfare check is for $11.
Subtract the poor person's dollar, and the Democratic economy is worth $130.
As has been frequently pointed out by Al Gore and other Democrats, 42.5 percent of Bush's tax cut will go to the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. Of course, the wealthy pay more actual tax dollars than the poor, so it's
Let's shift gears back to the real world and discuss President George W. Bush's tax cut proposal.
only fair that they get more tax dollars back. Problem is, the wealthiest 1 percent only pay for 20 percent of the federal government.
Republicans have traditionally justified such inequities with the theory of trickle-down economics — free up more money for private spending, thereby helping the economy.
We tried it under Reagan. And, despite what his army of historical revisionists says, it didn't work.
The '80s only confirmed the pathetically obvious. The rich are rich because they don't spend their money. If they do, they buy nice stuff and services, which don't do much to stimulate the economy.
Republicans also justify their tax inequities by saying the rich would give more to charity — if only they could.
Ah, yes, the good will and noblesse oblige of capitalists.
Moreover, when was the last time you heard a poor person arguing for trickle-down economics?
Along those lines, if charitable organizations were able to handle all of society's problems, then why does society have problems? What's stopping the private sector from handling them?
I've never heard a rich business owner say,
"Oh, boy, I've made just a bit too much money this month. I had better give some away."
America needs to face a cold, hard truth: The private sector of a capitalist economy will never take care of the poorest and most needy because there is no monetary incentive to do so. That fact makes it dangerously easy to argue for welfare programs on moral grounds.
For too long, Democrats have done just that. That makes it only fair for Republicans to bring up their Christian morals. If Democrats want any credibility in arguing against the Religious Right, then Democrats must argue their points on economic and political grounds, not moral ones.
For a demonstration. see above.

Editorial
Artists' rights weigh more than listeners'
Despite its popularity and appeal, Napster is difficult to justify legally and ethically.
A federal court judge issued an injunction last week that basically means the end of Napster. The online music service created by Shawn Fanning already is beginning to remove copyrighted music from the site. Legally and ethically, it's a step in the right direction.
Napster made it possible to download songs by almost any artist for free. Many people loved how, after years of having to buy overpriced compact discs, they finally caught a break in getting music
But many in the recording industry weren't too keen on the Napster phenomenon.
Record companies got scared that people would get all their music for free and wouldn't buy CDs. Hard rock band Metallica sued Napster, and many users were booted from the service for downloading Metallica songs.
Napster is obviously bad for some artists, but it also can be a benefit for others.
Smaller bands that don't have record deals can put their music online for people to download. This helps in exposing their music to more people to establish a bigger audience.
But for the most part, Napster walked a thin ethical line. People could download songs regardless of whether the artist wanted them to — which takes a bite out of the artist's profits.
Legally, the court's decision was a good idea. It should be the artists' choice whether they want their music to be free.
Napster has also been a major setback in the fight against bootlegging. Artists have complained for many years about the practice; Napster made it easier to distribute it, all from the comfort of users' homes.
But Napster will be sorely missed by millions of people, and rightly so. Music has never been so readily available. And music lovers should cherish that.

Letters to the editor
Cutting the men's tennis and swimming and diving teams
It's easy to criticize decision from afar
I'm glad Ted Frederickson is a journalism professor. It's one way to be sure he won't make any decisions about Kansas athletics. While teaching accurate and objective journalism, Frederickson has taken the inappropriate behavior of a few football players and unfairly applied it to the whole team ("Football team deserves less, not more funds," Friday). From this, he decides that the program's budget should be reduced or cut entirely. This would defeat athletics at Kansas.
Only two sports have a realistic chance to make much money: football and basketball. But there are only so many tickets to sell and only so many games to play. By filling Allen Fieldhouse 15 times a year, basketball has reached its potential.
Football has plenty more tickets to sell. There are a lot of reasons why the stadium is usually half empty on game days. A large population of fair-weather fans plays a big part. The team was ranked in the Top 10 in 1995, and the stadium still wasn't full. People usually won't watch a losing team just because the stadium is nice.
But if people won't watch a winning team, it's possible the stadium has something to do with it. Building luxury boxes so rich donors can sip cocktails is fine with me. For supplying a third of the Athletics Department's budget, they should be able to drink in the stands, the parking lot or anywhere. Their donations are keeping athletics afloat.
Those of us who go to football games should remember one thing when watching the MegaVision replays of Kansas State touchdowns. K-State was one of the worst programs in college football. By investing in the future of the football program and ignoring people such as Frederickson, they have built themselves into one of the elite programs in the nation with an athletics budget not much bigger than the University's.
Their successful football program has helped fund the rest of their athletics, even allowing them to comply with Title IX rules by adding programs, not cutting them. I think it's safe to say the student-athletes in K-State's new equestrian program don't complain about spending money on football
Nonrevenue sports could not exist without football. No matter how successful it is, basketball can not possibly make as much money as a winning football team. It wouldn't take a dominant football program to start bring in a lot of money. An invitation to a bowl game, which doesn't take more than a winning season, can bring in more than a million dollars. Combine that with TV contracts, and there is a lot of money to be made.
Developing a winning football team takes a big commitment. It starts with improving facilities where the football team plays, trains and practices. Better facilities help recruiting, and better players lead to more successful teams. These types of improvements benefit more than just the football team. Upgrading our weight room to the level of most other Big 12 teams would make the football team more competitive, and other athletes would be able to share the improved facilities.
Granted, the department could have managed its financial situation better. Cutting two programs with devoted, hardworking student-athletes could have been avoided. But the football team should not have had inadequate facilities and underpaid coaches for so long, either. In the end, the Kansas University Athletic Corporation is just that — a corporation. Money drives most decisions in college athletics, and that won't change soon.
So what can we do? If you want to call yourself a KU fan, act like one. Support the Jayhawks in every sport — men or women, win or lose, rain or shine. And if you want to be a journalism professor, start acting like one. Don't pretend you're an economist, athletics director, football coach or the chancellor's political advisor. And make sure someone else in the school teaches objectivity.

Title IX requirements unfair to men's sports
The University of Kansas' male tennis players and swimmers feel cheated. I know. I arrived at the university in 1991 as a refugee after Trinity University dropped Division I tennis.
Now the "big-time" athletic program that gave me a tennis refuge has made refugees of another generation of athletes.
The budget-driven cuts of men's tennis and men's swimming can be examined from two sides The cuts blindside the athletes. For everyone else, the issue behind the cuts — the contortion of gender equality — needs to be addressed.
You don't forget the day your program is axed.
It's as if someone you've been trying to help
sneaks up from behind, unprovoked and swiftly takes you out at the knees. It's an intentional injury that you know you didn't deserve.
The bitter feelings associated with having a program dropped tend to get publicity, so I won't belabor this point. Athletes Department financial considerations (or mismanagement) may have truly left Bob Frederick no choice but to cut the programs. But the University should at least acknowledge that it broke a promise to provide its recruits an opportunity to compete in their sport. In return, the University should take responsibility by helping athletes transfer and compete elsewhere. Coaches should make calls, transfer application fees should be reimbursed, assistance relating to the transferability of course credits should be provided, and a reasonable number of university transcripts should be provided for free. Additionally, the University owes these athletes something that costs nothing; a public apology
Second, the contortion of gender equity cannot be ignored. It is a peculiar version of "gender equity" in which male tennis players and swimmers get the chopping block while female athletes continue to compete. The federal statute barring gender discrimination is Title IX. It merits reinterpretation (or amendment) by school officials, courts and Congress.
Title IX's relevant language is that "injo person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in ... any educational program." Next year, if you are male, you cannot compete in the University's tennis or swimming programs; if you are female, you can. Sounds like a violation of Title IX, doesn't it? Nope. In fact, the disparity is mandated by the way Title IX has been construed. Why? Football. Nonrevenue sports get unequal, gender-based treatment in order to compensate for football funding and scholarships.
But by trying to compensate for football's gender inequality, gender inequality is simply compounded in other places. There's no balance — just a multiplication of inequalities. There is no women's football, and there is no men's tennis.
The inequality multiplication this week resulted in the deflation of athletes and the demise of onceproud programs. The University owes its men's tennis players and swimmers a respectful exit. In the long term, we need to acknowledge that it is only a Pyrrhic quality that is achieved by applying Title IX in that type of inequality.

Competition, cuts just a part of the game
The KU men's tennis team and swimming and diving team have learned a lesson that they have certainly taught to many others: Sometimes you just lose. Many other athletes who tried just as hard and wanted to win scholarships or at least playing time on Division I teams felt the sting of defeat at the hands of those who did make the cut.
The effect that we have just witnessed is the answering of the primary question that individuals, firms, and policymakers have always had to answer: Given that resources are finite, to what should those resources be allocated? Our university has decided that some facilities and money should go to maintaining athletic teams (that is to say opposed to just using resources for academics). The existence of those teams benefits two groups: (1) the competitors and (2) those who gain pleasure from watching the competition or tracking the teams. In rare cases, those who enjoy watching the activities are even willing to pay enough for that pleasure that the activity produces revenue and increases the resources available.
the activities. The whole process is a competition.
Is it fair that hardworking, dedicated tennis players and swimmers were denied the opportunity to compete simply because they were not as talented as those who did make it? The answer is that it was. That is the nature of having a limited number of spots on teams. These teams lost out to other sports that were essentially more qualified. Those teams were more popular, were less expensive, fulfilled the University's Title IX obligations or are still funded for a combination of reasons. Although it is unfortunate that the University could no longer afford those teams, it is no more unfortunate that the University does not fund men's soccer, wrestling, or women's football. It is no more unfortunate than that the University does not fund more academic scholarships, need-based scholarships, or academic competitions. And it is no more unfortunate than the University being unable to give scholarships and team membership to the other athletes who every year do their best and (like these teams) just come up short.
Not every potential activity can be funded, nor can every potential competitor be given access to
the activities. The whole process is a competition. I certainly sympathize with the tennis players and swimmers who will no longer be able to compete. They expected not only to compete but in many cases to use their athletic prowess to fund their education. That their plans have been so abruptly interrupted is terrible. With this decision, some good people were hurt, but that is what college athletics is about. Some win; others lose. It is rarely compassionate, but I cannot feel differently about this new group of students who are in the same boat as many of the rest of us.

Other programs have saved minor sports
I am an All-American swimmer and 1989 graduate of the University of Oklahoma. I coached at Norman High School for eight years after graduation and went to almost every football game, basketball game and wrestling match from the time I was a freshman until I left Oklahoma. As a coach at USCI, I still supported Oklahoma sports until they dropped the swimming program. Since that day, I have not set foot in Oklahoma and turn off any programs connected to the state. I still have contact with the team I competed with but not the athletic department or alumni association.
Swimming gave me the opportunity to be the first from my family to go to a University and go places and experience things I would have never been able to experience. I will be bitter with Oklahoma my entire life for making a decision, such as you are doing, with no real justification.
I have now been coaching at the University of California, Irvine for 21 years. We went through some very tough times about 10 years ago and were looking to drop some sports, including swimming. We ended up dropping baseball and making our men's track team a nscholarship sport. The swimming program was cut to a budget of $40,000 per year with all of its scholarships, travel funds and equipment paid for by private donations. Just five years ago, our student body voted in a referendum to build a new recreation facility with a recreation pool and competition pool. We now have one of the best facilities on the West Coast. The next year, the students voted to fully fund scholarships for all existing sports (I have been raising about two men's and two women's scholarships per year) and to add baseball, women's water polo, women's golf and women's indoor track. Our athletics director, Dan Guerrero, was instrumental in getting this done, though no one else thought it was possible. I commend him on his vision and leadership rather than relying on short-term, short-sighted decisions.
There are ways to get through the hard times without cutting sports. When the good times come again, and they will, the sports are still in place and can be expanded. A broad base of swimming programs, including Kansas, the Big 12 Conference, and all universities in the United States, helped produce the success we had at the Olympics just last year. Please rethink your decision and look for another solution. I will be more than happy to help in any way I can.

settling teams destroys athletes' dreams
It is shocking and devastating that my alma mater will no longer provide the experience I had while I was a diver at the University of Kansas.
When I was on the team, diving was always seen as just another event in the swim meet, but regard less of the men's or women's program. we worked as a solid unit. We pushed and supported each other, and it made a difference in our careers, athletically as well as professionally. I was lucky that nothing like this happened when I was in school but it gives me a sense of urgency.
There has got to be something or someone somewhere who can do something and stop this from happening. Many programs have gotten in danger of deletion and come up with feasible options. I never would have wanted to follow my dream and train for the Olympic Trials if my sport was cut. I know I am a female, and only the male teams are in question, but I am speaking from my heart; this is not right, regardless of whether it's the men's or women's programs. The history of the University will be changed forever, and the lives of so many people will be affected.
Please do something to stop this.

NEA critics may eat words
I don't like funding the International Monetary Fund's neoliberal fantasyland, making the world safe for sweatshops and globetrotting conglomerates. I don't like funding corporate welfare or the White House's new office for faith-based charities. I don't like paying for the military to bomb Iraq every time Saddam Hussein looks crosseyed at Colin Powell, and as long as I'm on the subject of national defense, I think plenty of private militias out in Montana could do a much better job than the Pentagon

Senators not padding resumes
Student Senate elections are next month, and there are a few items that need to be cleared up from the article, "Silly campaign tactics merit reforming Senate," written by Robert Chamberlain (March 5). As a current fine arts senator and a candidate for the seat again, I was greatly disturbed by the misrepresentation of Senate in this article. I wish Mr. Chamberlain would have checked his facts before he made publicized generalizations about senators.
We are senators because we care about the issues facing the University and our constituents. We are not "building our resumes." We spend many hours researching and debating issues affecting everyone in the University. The meeting last week lasted nearly five hours. We were there for so long because we cared, not because we were "building our resumes." Also, the Senate book of Rules and Regulations, Article III, Section 1 requires attendance at Senate meetings, committee meetings and office hours. If senators are not fulfill their responsibilities, they are removed from their positions.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings. Senate is a group of hardworking, dedicated individuals who are trying to serve our constituents to the best of our ability.

Ban on gays' blood justified
Last year, the Red Cross's policy of not allowing gay men to donate blood came under fire during an annual campus blood drives. Again this semester, the Kansan gave the policy a failing grade in its Report Card feature (March 1). The issue was framed as one of unfair discrimination
This is the wrong way to address the controversy. A director of the Food and Drug Administration Office of Blood Research and Review, Jay Epstein, has said, "The safety of the blood supply ... must be our No.1 priority. This is a public health issue, not a social policy issue."
Safety is an issue because every year the tests to detect HIV in donated blood fail around 10 times — allowing 10 units of infected blood to enter the blood supply. Granted, that's a great percentage out of the 12 million units of blood donated annually. The fact remains that two or three people every year are infected with HIV through transfusions, says Michael Busch of the University of California, San Francisco. That's two or three people essentially condemned to die prematurely.
So what does this have to do with homosexuals? According to the Centers for Disease Control, at the end of 1988 between 300,000 and 900,000 people in the United States were living with HIV or AIDS. Out of
a U.S. population of about 281 million, that is about 0.3 percent. But the government estimates that about 8 percent of gay men have HIV. The difference in rates is clear.
This means that allowing gay men to donate blood would result in more HIV-infected blood being donated and slipping through the safety net. It is estimated that the two proposed rules changes allowing gays to donate would result in 1.7 or 6 (depending on which is adopted) more units of HIV-infected blood sneaking through every year. That's an increase of 17 or 60 percent.
The Red Cross needs general, simple rules to apply when determining the risk of a potential blood donor having the HIV virus as it collects those 12 million units of blood each year. The prohibition on homosexuals donating is a quick yet effective way it can protect the blood supply.
The Kansan tried to compare the Red Cross policy to discriminating against left-handed people. The crucial difference is that left-handed people are not 20 times more likely to have HIV than the general population. This is not a civil-rights or discrimination issue. No rejected potential donor loses anything. But it is a matter of life-and-death to the patients receiving the blood transfusions. Until such time as screening tests for HIV become perfect or the HIV rate among homosexuals approaches that of the general population, the Red Cross is justified in not accepting donations from gay men. Indeed, its commitment to saving lives demands such a policy.

Christianity respects women
I would like to comment about Sheri Martin's column in the March 1 Kansan ("Christianity fails to stay relevant in modern times").
First of all, let me say that to millions of people around the globe, Christianity as taught in the Bible is highly relevant in their lives today.
More specifically, I would like to address a few of Martin's points: First, it is true that Christianity rejected the worship of goddesses. However, this does not come out of some misogynistic bent; it is due simply to Christianity being a monotheistic religion. The Bible teaches that there is one God and that we must not worship anything else, either masculine or feminine. Therefore, all pantheistic religions are ruled out, whether they in involve gods, goddesses or little green men.
Second, the position of women in The Bible is not one of repression. In fact, the Bible portrays women as national leaders (Deborah) and saviors of the Jews (Esther), as self-sufficient caractereaters of the household, as persons worthy of respect and love and even as inheritors of their fathers' wealth.
In particular, Jesus interacted with women regularly and always treated them with respect. He elevated their rights regarding divorce, encouraged them to learn instead of always doing housework and even saved a woman from being stoned to death. These actions were radical in his culture and might even be in ours.
Third, nowhere in the Bible is sex described as "dirty." Certain expressions of our sexuality are prohibited, but this is out of God's desire that we get the most joy possible out of our lives, not from a statement that sex is somehow fundamentally bad.
Finally, nowhere in the Bible is Eve blamed for mankind's sin. The blame falls squarely on Adam, the prototype man.
I would suggest that before Ms. Martin rejects Christianity, she study its book at bit more carefully and see what it really has to say.

'Hope' one focus of exhibition
Students show fruits of study today at JRP

Innovation Celebration 2001 — a showcase of innovative research by students and faculty — continues to focus on cultural diversity and technology today at Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
The display began yesterday and includes about 25 research projects. It is open to the public from 1 to 5 p.m. today.
"One of the challenges for education in the future will be to do a better job working with people of diverse cultures," said Mike Neal, coordinator of field experience for the school of education and coordinator of the innovation celebration
A topic at the event is anti-violence among youth, and one display details the Youth Antiviolence Movement program. The display features a video used in the program and brochures explaining its goals.
Many of the displays at the celebration are the results of students' action research projects, which students work on during the first year of the school's graduate program. Students are placed in student-teaching internships, and their research is drawn from field experience, Neal said.
The program is aimed at junior and senior high school students, said graduate students Mandy Goodnight and Mandy Henry, researchers for the antiviolence movement.
Katie Keel, Lawrence graduate student, is displaying a project on teaching a foreign language, which is based on her experience teaching German at Sumner Academy in Kansas City, Kansas.
"My research focused on learning strategies that I could teach students and then see how those strategies helped them learn," she said.
Another display features the "Making Hope Happen" program, which teaches students about hope and setting goals. Lisa Edwards, Gainesville, Fla., graduate student, administers and coordinates the program in area schools.
"We really believe that children have natural strengths inside them, and we're teaching them how to use them," Edwards said.

"We want to help them achieve their goals," Johnson said. "This is my life, so I get to live vicariously through these kids."

Dewoody said the opportunity to be around animals and witness their recovery outweighed the challenges of the job.
"It's very fulfilling," she said. "You can see big progress in each of the animals when you come back every week."
That progress is due in part to the facility's state-of-the-art equipment, Johnson said.
"People don't understand the level at which we do things," she said. Johnson said the center used equipment that some veterinary clinics didn't have.
The 4,000-square-foot facility includes treatment areas, a surgical suite, lots of cages and flight pens for physical therapy. Operation WildLife also has an education facility, used to teach

"But apparently they are not doing it," he said.
Proffitt said he feared about the security of the system because it couldn't prevent someone from getting Simons' e-mail and sending spam.
"What if it were a virus?" Profitt said.
Simons said that since the episode, the University had taken steps to prevent people from outside the system from posting to the list.
Catlin said Academic Computing Services had tried to make sure it wouldn't happen again.
"Academic computing realizes, that this is an inconvenience," she said.
Catlin said the University was talking to other universities that had similar problems to analyze other, possible solutions to the problem.
She also said she had talked to Microsoft and other vendors that provide software to the University to see what they could do about preventing spamming from happening again.

The language of drama

Spanish majors learn from soaps
Nearly every Wednesday night of her eighth grade year, Tennelle Porter would gather with her friends in front of the TV, flip to the Univision channel, and watch a man dressed up as a giant ear of corn run around speaking Spanish.
The corn man was just one of the wacky characters on a Latin soap opera, or telenovela, that Porter found herself infatuated with.
"The joy of my middle school life was to get together with my friends and watch that telenovela," said Porter, Wichita freshman. "But since we didn't know Spanish all that well, we'd mute it and make up our own stories."
Now, Porter, a Spanish major, doesn't mute the soap operas, she listens to them.
Julie Rutter, Overland Park sophomore, said that telenovelas had been an excellent aid to her Spanish education — although she
"I think it helps me a lot with my Spanish, and it's a lot of fun." Rutter said. "To keep up your Spanish you have to keep listening to it, so I think it helps me a lot with my Spanish," Rutter said. "It also helps to keep up on different accents."
admits to never having seen the corn man telenovela.
Rutter said there were many more differences between Latin soaps and American soaps other than the language.
One of these differences is that Univision airs most of its 11 telenovelas during prime time hours. And, unlike American soap operas, the Latin soaps only air for a limited time.
"Because they end, it makes it so that the plot isn't so diluted," Rutter said. "And they're in prime time too -- that's just crazy."
Rutter said the structure of the telenovela's plot also was quite different than what was commonly seen on American-made shows.
"Most of the ones here are about people already in high society," Rutter said. "While in telenovelas, it's always about people who are poor marrying into high society."
And, when the plot turns sour, it's not because of mafia activity or betrayal.
"If there's trouble, it's with love," Rutter said. "It's always two people going after the same person."
Porter agreed, adding that the women in telenovelas also seem to play the part of the helpless female more often than the strong, back-stabbing woman role.
"The men are always fighting over the women," Porter said. "The women are always like, 'Don't fight with Jorge over me.'"
Porter, also admitted an avid Days of Our Lives fan, said she noticed that the characters generally were less complex on telenovelas.
"The characters on Days of Our Lives have more dimension to them." Porter said.
Rutter said she enjoyed the telenovelas she had viewed and that she was glad to have the capacity in Spanish to understand the quirks of each character.
"I really like them." Rutter said. "They are cheesy, but everyone is always really popular with their hair done up, and I just think it's funny."
Show explores dating world
— Edited by Megan Phelps
By Brandon Stinnett writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students frustrated with lackluster relationships can find solace in a late-night television program.
Blind Date, which airs week nights at 10:30 on Sunflower Cablevision's channel 17, offers viewers an in-depth look inside two strangers' first date.
Couples are matched up and videotaped on a date from beginning to end. They eat at restaurants, drink at bars and get their groove on at night clubs, while viewers watch their every move.
Some dates end in shouting matches between disgruntled daters and others end with new-found lovers getting better acquainted in the bedroom as the camera pans off-screen.
Whatever the outcome,
Andrew Hare, Olathe sophomore,
said he enjoyed seeing what happened.
"My favorite part about Blind Date is when they go back to the hot tub," Hare said. "That means they're going to hook up."
Hare, who has been watching the show for the past two years, said his favorite episode this season was when a muscle-bound pedicurist revealed his true intentions after treating his date to a foot massage at the end of a lovely evening.
Quirky messages appear on screen that poke fun at the singles and disclose secrets about their past as viewers watch the date unfold at home.
After the date, couples are asked what they thought about the other person, and if they would consider a second date in the future.
"Start with the feet and the pants come off, always," Hare said. "That's my favorite line."
Hare said he watched the show for entertainment purposes only. He said most episodes were too over-the-top for singles to get useful dating tits.
"I wouldn't say it's a reflection of how most dates go." Hare said. "I don't think it's a reflection of how society really is. I just think that people like to watch smut."
Blind Date prompted John
Liezert, Topeka junior, and his ex-roommate to write a song called "The BD Song," which pokes fun at the people who make fools of themselves on the show.
"They just mismatch people for the show so it's more entertaining," Liezert said. "In real life these people would never probably go out."
Still, Amy Nutter,
Overland Park freshman,
said the show accurately
portrayed some women.
"I think it's great," Nutter said. "The fact that the girls are mostly stuck up and the guys tell them how it is, just like in life."
Both Nutter and Hare agree on Blind Date's best episode. Last season a voluptuous blonde bombshell started spanking herself in a hot tub and then got naked while the camera rolled. She and her date wound up having sex in the hot tub as the camera veered off to the left.
"That was the best," Hare said. "I couldn't believe what they were doing in a public hot tub."

Bush defends election
PANAMA CITY, Fla.
President Bush scolded Florida Democrats who questioned the legitimacy of his election during his first presidential visit to the scene of last year's legal battle over the White House.
"Americans want to move forward," he said yesterday.
The Associated Press
Amid talk on Capitol Hill that he will be forced into concessions on his tax cut legislation, Bush also defended the target juiciest to his opponents — his proposal to drop the income tax rate on the wealthiest Americans from 39.6 percent to 33 percent.
"I know that's created a lot of howling in Washington," Bush said. "... The whole notion of dropping the top rate is to stimulate growth in the small-business sector of America."
He urged Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce members in Florida to contact their Washington representatives in support of the income tax bill that passed the House and will, most likely, be rewritten in the Senate.
Brandishing a yellow pen, Bush said he would not back down. "I'm going to argue until I get a bill to sign. It's out of the House, come on out of the Senate, and I'll sign it."
"Instead of sending people your check, why don't you send them your check and send them an email while you're at it?" he suggested.
During the weekend, Republican officials floated the idea that Bush was considering a lesser cut for that top income bracket.
The crowd inside the Marina Civic Center wildly cheered
Bush and his brother Jeb, the Florida governor whose role in last year's recount controversy is featured in a new $20,000 state Democratic party ad campaign on Tallahassee and Panama City TV stations.
"Jeb Bush didn't stand up to count Florida's vote right, and George Bush's budget undermines prosperity. Bush fuzzy math. It doesn't add up," the spot concluded.
The president, in a brief exchange with reporters, responded to the ad. "Some of the Democrats here want to keep re-voting the election. But if they would listen to America, they would find that Americans want to move forward," he said. Not so for the handful of demonstrators outside Bush's invitation-only speech.
"There will be questions about his legitimacy for the next four years," promised Bill Boyd.
"Jeb Bush delivered Florida to his brother George, and now we're paying the price," said the ad, criticizing the president's tax cuts for spending a projected budget surplus that may or may not materialize.
Another demonstrator, Matthew McDonough, sniffed at Bush's insistence that the country has forgotten about the acrimony of his 36-day battle with former Vice President Al Gore, which was finally resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Bygones being bygones' is clearly not going to solve the American crisis of counting votes and having every vote counted," McDonough said.
At Tyndall, where Bush reiterated promises of better military pay and housing. Marie
Mayfield said there was "probably nothing" that could heal the Democrats' wounds in Florida. As someone who voted for Bush, Mayfield worried, "If we don't accept his legitimacy, he won't be able to be an effective leader."
Bush came to Florida hoping to sway the state's two Democratic senators, Bill Nelson and Bob Graham, to back him on tax cuts. Both declined a White House invitation to join Bush.
While vigorously defending his tax proposal on stage, Bush repeated to reporters yesterday that when it comes to the 100 members of the U.S. Senate, "I'm willing to listen to the hundred different voices who've got different views about where this package ought to go."
This area's congressmen,
Democrat Allen Boyd and
Republican Joe Scarborough
did accompany the president as
he toured airman Donnie Bryant's modest home on base and then, behind closed doors,
entertained questions from a dozen base families.
On the civic center stage, Scarborough was the only official to dare allude to the Florida election controversy.
"It's your chance to give the commander in chief a few suggestions," Bush said. Gesturing to his brother, the president quipped, "If you've got any problems, write him."
Referring to TV networks who called the state's election night tally for Gore before polls closed in the panhandle's Central time zone, Scarborough joked, "We're not only the land that time forgot, we're the land that the TV networks forgot."
Submarine trial continues
Admiral blames commander for collision with ship
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — The failure of USS Greeneville Cmdr. Scott Waddle to detect a Japanese trawler through his periscope led to the fatal collision between the two ships, the head of the Pacific Fleet's submarine force testified yesterday
The Associated Press
Konetzni took the stand as a Navy court of inquiry into the Feb. 9 accident entered its second week. He called Waddle "one of my best friends," but also squarely placed responsibility for the accident on the commander's shoulders.
"This is the meat of the matter: The commander officer ... has the absolute obligation to make sure the area is free," said Waddle's boss, Rear Adm. Albert Konetzni. "That's what caused this collision, plus the fact that the stars and the moon and a few other things weren't going right."
The investigative hearing could lead to courts-martial of Waddle; the Greeneville's executive officer, Lt. Cmdr. Gerald Pfeifer; and the officer of the deck, Lt. j.g. Michael Coen.
The submarine was demonstrating a rapid-surfacing drill for 16 civilian guests when it rammed the Ehime Maru and sent it plunging to the ocean floor. The vessel, carrying 35 people, was on an expedition to teach high school students the
commercial fishing trade. Nine people, including four students were killed.
A Navy investigator testified last week that several factors contributed to the accident, including a communications barrier created by the civilian guests being crammed into the control room.
Konetzni dismissed that, however, insisting the civilians had nothing to do with the collision.
Voicing his support for civilian ride-alongs, Konetzni said thousands of guests had previously toured submarines safely. He called the public relations program critical for "understanding what our sailors are doing."
He admitted, however, that this particular tour probably shouldn't have gone forward because a training mission it was to coincide with was canceled.
Konetzni said the collision came down to Waddle's inability to see the Ehime Maru through his periscope and that sonar operators didn't have enough time to properly analyze data tracking surface vessels.
Coen and Waddle performed an 80-second periscope search at depths of 60 and 58 feet. Testimony has shown periscope scans are typically done in three minutes and that the officers had several more feet available on the periscope that they didn't use.
"You'd better get as much pole out there as you possibly can, because that's your obligation." Konetzii said. "It's a team endeavor, and when the team doesn't work right, bad things happen. Time allows integration of the team."
"The commander officer
...has the absolute obligation to make sure the area is free."
Albert Konetzni head of Pacific Fleet's submarine force
The Greeneneville's fire control technician had data showing another ship was close but never reported it. He told investigators he had assumed his data was incorrect when Coen and Waddle reported seeing no other boats during the periscope search. He also said the civilians had blocked his access to the officers
The technician, Petty Officer 1st Class Patrick Seacrest, and the sonar room supervisor have been appointed military attorneys at their request, the Navy said yesterday. The three admirals presiding over the court of inquiry could name additional parties to the investigation at any time.
Also under scrutiny during the hearing has been Capt. Robert Brandhuber, Konetzani's chief of staff. Brandhuber accompanied the civilians aboard Greeneville and was the senior officer on the ship. The court panel has questioned whether he should have sensed something was amiss and stepped in.
Konetzi defended Brandhuber, saying he was in the back of the control room during the maneuver and didn't know anything unsafe was happening.
Zapatistas campaign for Indian rights in Mexico
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — After a triumphant arrival in Mexico City, the Zapatista rebel entourage pitched camp at local universities and turned to lobbying legislators for passage of a major Indian rights law yesterday.
Members of a congressional commission were to meet with the 24 rebel leaders late yesterday to discuss details of the bill, which was written to enact a 1996 agreement between the government and the Zapatista National Liberation Army.
"Let's hope that these senators, these lawmakers gain sensitivity and make the right decision," Comandante Zebedeo, one of the rebel leaders, said during a meeting between the Zapatistas and intellectuals, which took place on a Mexico City soccer field.
The event—a combination political rally and academic seminar featuring Mexican and European writers and scholars—followed the tumultuous welcome the rebels received upon their arrival in Mexico City's main square Sunday, after a two-week bus tour though southern Mexico.
"The dialogue has already started," Sen. Rutilio Escandon told the Televisa television network yesterday morning, referring to informal talks last week with a Zapatita representative.
"There have to be changes, to improve it. We do not want (legal) exemptions or special privileges," he said.
The Indian Rights and Culture Bill had been stalled in Congress since legislators drafted it, shortly after the agreement was reached with the rebels.
The Zapatistas quickly endorsed the proposal, but former President Ernesto Zedillo balked, claiming it went beyond the agreement and had loose wording that could endanger Mexico's sovereignty and unity. Claiming the government had reneged, the Zapatistas walked out of peace talks.
President Vicente Fox, who took office Dec.1, endorsed the measure and immediately sent it to Congress.
The rebels' two-week caravan, which climaxed Sunday with a rally of 75,000 people in Mexico City, was meant to promote the bill, as well as to gain sympathy for their cause.
Passage of the law is only one of several rebel demands to renew talks. Although Fox has closed some army bases and helped free scores of Zapatista prisoners, the rebels want more bases closed and more prisoners released.
The bill would let Indian communities make laws and elect officials using traditional practices such as village meetings, rather than by balloting. It also demands radio stations in Indian languages, bilingual schools and proportional representation for Indians in legislatures.
Sen. Carlos Rojas told Televisa he thought legislators could achieve "a law on Indian rights that satisfies the Indians ... and that preserves the unity of the country and the constitution.
"We have be very careful not to create exemptions or states within states. We do not want to create reservations."

'Hawk fans find scapegoats to explain cutting of two teams
This is the first column I've ever written about men's swimming. Or men's tennis, for that matter.
There's a reason for that — nobody cares.
Riggs is a Greenwood Village, Colo., junior in broadcast news.
At least nobody cared until last week, when Bob Frederick, athletics director, announced the two sports would be cut starting next season. Now the two programs that couldn't get any love for years suddenly have tons of support from students, alumni — even former athletics director Monte Johnson.
It's not that I'm against supporting these guys. I just think there's a time and place for support, and now is just too little, too late. Where were the fans when the men's swimming team played host to Iowa State a few weeks back, when the Jayhawks swam in front of friends and family? And where was the alumni support for a much-needed new tennis facility? Where was Monte Johnson then?
That's the problem with fans at Kansas — they only care when they have to. The rest of the time they're just fair-weather hoops junkies waiting for the next time Jeff Boschee changes his haircut or Roy Williams flings his jacket into the crowd.
Granted, we cheer for what may possibly be the cheapest athletics department in the nation. SuperTarget soccer field is perhaps the biggest joke since that one about the chicken crossing the road. We didn't have the Kansas Relays outdoor track event for two years because, well, Kansas didn't have an outdoor track. The softball diamond is an abomination, and Robinson Natatorium became obsolete before disco died. And until two seasons ago, the concourse at Memorial Stadium was dirt and the press box was a glorified trailer home.
But who could blame them? After all, when a problem arises, too many people look to blame everybody but the person staring back at them in the mirror.
But that doesn't mean Jayhawk athletics should be treated with a never-ending supply of apathy. If Kansas fans had shown they cared before now, then the athletics department may never have had to make the cut.
It's not entirely Frederick's fault. It's not Terry Allen's. It’s yours. The blame for the slicing of those sports from the budget should lie squarely on the shoulders of Jayhawk fans past and present.
And you'll have a harder time telling me that those two sports wouldn't be around if both teams were playing in front of more than an intimate gathering each home meet. Home field advantage? Those two squads never heard of such a thing. Too often, more fans would be on hand to cheer the visitors.
It takes just $600,000 per year to keep the two sports running. And you'll have a hard time convincing me that, with all the alumni the two sports produced, those two sports couldn't be almost entirely self-sufficient.
rans are quick to blame Frederick, who probably should shoulder at least some of the blame — but not all of it. They also blamed the state of college athletics, Title IX, and just about everything else they could get their hands on.
I'm sure he's surprised people noticed, considering most Jayhawk fans probably didn't even know both programs existed until the cuts.
When it came down to making the cut, Frederick had to take into account the fan base of all the Kansas sports. All women's sports were off limits because of Title IX. Should he cut track? Too much history. Baseball? Too much money, especially considering the new Hoglund Ballpark. Football? A lot of people at this school probably wish, but we all know that this isn't a viable option. So he was left having to cut tennis and swimming.
Williams demands unity from team
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kanson sportwriter
It's safe to say that No. 12 Kansas is pretty fired up heading into Friday's NCAA Tournament first round game against Cal-State Northridge.
There's just one problem. Are the Jayhawks fired up about playing the Matadors, or are they fired up at each other?
Coach Roy Williams isn't sure, but he's seen a little bit of both during the last couple of days. Regardless, he said the tensions he saw displayed on the court between some of his players during Saturday's 62-57 loss to Oklahoma had better stop. And fast.
"There was some talking going on out on the court that I've never seen in one of my teams, and we will never see again," Williams said. "The easiest way to make it stop is to have a commitment that it will stop, and it better stop. There was something that happened after the game, and it had better stop right there."
Williams wouldn't expand on any details about what happened after the game, but said he had a team meeting on Sunday that alleviated the problems. Williams said his Jayhawks (24-6) were ready to move forward.
Senior forward Kenny Gregory said after the game that some members of the team had displayed "selfishness," which may have contributed to the team's poor shooting in the second half.
Sophomore forward Nick
Senior center Eric Chenowith said he thought the team meeting was productive, but like Williams and Collison, he would not clarify who or what was involved in the tensions. Chenowith said the state of the team was fine.
"In tough games this year people don't do what they need to do to execute," Collison said. "We need to step up in these situations if we want to make a run in the tournament."
Collison said such poor execution was hurting the team, but he did not indicate if it was a cause for the team's internal tensions during the weekend.
"We had a good meeting," Chenowith said. "There were some things that needed to be addressed, and they were. In my four years this is the closest team I have played on — we all hang out together and really get along really well. Right now, we need to concentrate and just worry about winning."
Part of that focus comes in the form of good preparation. Williams said there would be plenty of work put in during the next few days as the Jayhawks prepare to play Northridge.
"We are going to have three great practices," Williams said. "If it's not, there are some people who are going to want to transfer on Thursday morning."

Team cuts called premature
Big 12 coaches say there were other options to consider
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
staff writer
Michael Center earned a Big Eight Championship in singles for the Kansas men's tennis team in 1985 while proudly wearing the crimson and blue.
His feelings of pride turned to moroseness last week after the University's decision to terminate the men's tennis team.
Center, who is now the coach of the Texas men's tennis team, is one of several Big 12 Conference coaches sounding off about the dismissal of the men's tennis and swimming teams at Kansas. These two longstanding programs received the blow because of a ballooning athletic budget, but conference coaches have wondered about the remedy for the situation.
"It is a tragic day for our sport, the Big 12 and for the University of Kansas," said Center, who played for Kansas from 1982 to 1986. "It put a black eye on our conference. The Big 12 is regarded as a premiere athletic conference, and if it can drop a sport with 4.5 scholarships, then I guess

anyone can. It must be understood that KU was still very competitive in our conference. With the talent they have, they are capable of competing with everyone in the Big 12."
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said the cuts were made as a part of an overall plan to counteract upcoming budget deficits. Frederick contacted all University coaches six to eight weeks before the announcement about budgetary concerns. The University faced a proposed $688,000 for the upcoming year and $2.1 million during the next five years. Frederick said.
After an intense study of financial data, Frederick said the University created a three-step plan to increase revenues and decrease expenditures. This included
donor seating for large benefactors at Allen Fieldhouse, the discontinuation of men's tennis and swimming and cuts in the operating budget. This will allow the athletics department to break even during the next five years, Frederick said.
While the budget will increase from $23 to $28 million during the next five years, the athletics department will use the income to keep up with inflation in three areas — scholarships, operational costs and salaries, Frederick said.
"We have added a million dollars in scholarships over the last three years just to keep up with increases in tuition and housing." he said.
Raised in Newton in a family of avid Jayhawk fans, Trip Hedrick, the Iowa State swimming coach, said he wondered if all alternatives were fully considered before Kansas dropped its programs. With a similar budgetary situation occurring at Iowa State in 1994, the president of the university commissioned a phone survey. Hedrick said the president found overwhelming student support for Olympic

"We had a hard fight, but found positive solutions before losing any programs because all avenues were explored," Hedrick said. "With the axe falling so fast at KU, it doesn't seem possible that all avenues were explored to the fullest, and that in itself is very damaging to the reputation of KU."

'Hawks hard work still not paying off
By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas baseball coach Bobby Randall loves everything about his team this season. He loves its work ethic, its personality and its determination.
Case in point: Despite being given the day off yesterday, several members of the team showed up for extra batting practice in preparation for this week's nonconference series with Illinois-Chicago. The first game of the three-game series between the Jayhawks and Flames is scheduled for 3 p.m. today at Hoglund Ballpark.
"Look at these guys — these guys want to be great baseball players." Randall said. "There's probably 100 different places that these guys could be right now, but they're here working and trying to get better. How
could you not like coaching guys like that?"
But so far in Big 12 Conference play, Kansas' hard work hasn't translated into victories.
The Jayhawks (8-9) sit in 10th place in the Big 12 with a record of 2-7 after losing their third consecutive conference series last weekend at Missouri.
Kansas suffered possibly its most heartbreaking loss of the season Sunday, losing 1-0 to the Tigers.
Kansas junior pitcher Justin Wilcher gave up only one run in seven innings for the second consecutive start, but he took the loss both times. Wilcher said that Sunday's game was tough, but that he concentrated only on shutting down his opponents and not worrying about how much run-support he received.
"I just need to stick with my game plan and keep throwing up
zeroes on the board," Wilcher said after the loss to Missouri. "I never got a sense of urgency in the game."

Kansas is hitting just .273 as a team this year after hitting .285 last season.
"Last weekend hurt, but we'll remember how bad it hurted," Randall said. "It was a quiet bus ride home. Everyone on this team wants to win."

ST. LOUIS — The Kansas City Chiefs have until Thursday to make a deal for St. Louis Rams backup quarterback Trent Green.
Chiefs near deadline for arabbina Green
The Rams said they would pull Green off the market if they didn't get an acceptable offer from the Chiefs by then. Thursday is the day that Green is due a $500,000 roster bonus.

If Green is dealt to the Chiefs before Thursday, the Rams will save $1.875 million toward their salary cap.
If he's traded after the roster bonus is paid, the cap savings is $1.375 million.
Rams sources told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch it was not worth it to trade Green after the roster bonus, even if the Chiefs agreed to the Rams' asking price of a first- and third-round draft pick.
The Rams currently have two second-round picks. The Chiefs are believed to be asking for the one they gave to the Rams in January as compensation for signing Dick Vermeil as head coach.

Green was scheduled to have his left knee examined yesterday by Chiefs team doctors in Kansas City. It's the same knee that needed reconstructive surgery in 1999 and has since needed a couple of routine "clean-up" operations.
Green had such an arthroscopic procedure about two weeks ago in Birmingham, Ala.

HANES CITY, Fla. — Right-hander Junior Guerrero, the Kansas City Royals' minor league pitcher of the year in 1999, was among five players cut yesterday.
Guerrero was optioned back to the Double A Wichita farm club, where he was a disappointing 4-10 with a 5.70 earned run average last season. He had reported late to spring training because his visa expired.
Outfielder Alexis Gomez was sent back to Class A Wilmington, where he hit. 254 last year.

Defenseman returns to San Jose in trade
SCORPIO
NEW YORK — The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Bobby Dollas and goalie Joahlan Hedberg from San Jose for defenseman Jeff Norton, who will play for the Sharks for the third time in his career.
The 35-year-old Norton was with the Sharks from 1993-95 before being dealt to the St. Louis Blues and then returned from 1998 through last season. The unrestricted free agent was signed by Pittsburgh on Nov. 14 and made his Pittsburgh debut two days later against the Blues.
"Jeff Norton provides us with a proven commodity on defense," said Sharks general manager Dean Lombardi. "He has always played well in the regular season and playoffs for our organization."
Norton, who had two goals and 10 assists in 32 games for Pittsburgh, was traded shortly before the Penguins played at the New York Rangers.
The 36-year-old Dollas, also signed as a free agent in November, had a goal and an assist in 16 games with the Sharks. He also played in eight games this season with Manitoba of the International Hockey League.
Dallas, who was in 70 games with the Penguins during the 1998-1999 season, has 138 points in 641 NHL games. He has also played for Winnipeg, Quebec, Detroit, Anaheim, Edmonton, Ottawa and Calgary.
Hedberg, 27, has played in 46 games this season with Manitoba and was 23-13-7 with a 2.56 goals against average. He was selected in the eighth round of the 1994 draft by Philadelphia.

Duke grabs No.1 spot Kansas drops to 12th
Duke was No. 1 in the final Associated Press college basketball poll yesterday, marking the third straight season the Blue Devils finished on top of the rankings entering the NCAA Tournament.
The only other school to finish No.1 in three-straight final polls was UCLA, which did it from 1971-73.
Victories against Maryland and North Carolina capped a third consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament title run for Duke (29-4), which is a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight season.
Stanford (28-2), which had been a unanimous No. 1 the last two weeks, dropped to second after losing to Arizona last week. The Cardinals, the only team in Division I with less than four losses, were No. 1 on 23 ballots.
Michigan State (24-4) and Illinois (24-7), the other No. 1 seeds for the NCAA Tournament, were third and fourth in the poll. The Spartans dropped one place after losing to Penn State in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament, while
Illinois (24-7) held fourth after losing to Indiana one round later.
Duke, Michigan State and Stanford were 1-2-3 in last season's final poll.
Arizona, which was fourth to end last season, was fifth this year. The Wildcats (23-7) received one first-pole vote and improved three spots from last week.
North Carolina remained sixth, followed in the Top Ten by Boston College, Florida, Kentucky and Iowa State.
Maryland led the Second Ten for the second straight week and was followed by Kansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, UCLA, Virginia, Syracuse, Texas, Notre Dame and Indiana.
The last five ranked teams were Georgetown, St. Joseph's, Wake Forest, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Indiana (21-12) and Iowa (22-11), the finalists in the Big Ten Tournament, were the new teams in the final poll. Indiana was ranked for the first time this season, while Iowa returned to the poll after being out the last three weeks.
Fresno State and Ohio State both dropped out of the Top 25.

Knight eyes Tech for fresh start
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Members of the Big 12 Conference may soon be welcoming a new coach onto their basketball courts. He's known for winning and stirring up controversy, and his name is Bobby Knight.
While the former Indiana basketball coach has yet to formalize a deal that would make him the basketball coach at Texas Tech, the rumors are flying.
The much-criticized Knight is slated to travel to Lubbock, Texas, this week to discuss the terms of a contract and to take a tour of campus. And Texas Tech Athletic Director Gerald Myers is putting all his eggs in one basket.
Myers said he had contacted no one else about the position and that there was significant interest by both the university and Knight.
Knight was last in the news in
September when he was dismissed as Indiana's coach after violating the notolerance policy the university had instated. Knight grabbed Indiana freshman Kent Harvey after an unacceptable greeting and was fired soon
The Harvey incident, combined with numerous others that ranged from grabbing players to throwing chairs, made for a fiery tenure for Knight that started at Indiana in 1971.

James Dickey, who amassed a record of 166-123 at Texas Tech, paved the way for Knight's anticipated return to coaching.
The Red Raiders haven't finished
better than seventh in the Big 12 since the inaugural season, and they finished last this season, with a conference record of 3-13.
"I first of all want to say I feel very sad for James Dickey," Williams said. "I think James did a quality job there, and I'm sorry to see that had to happen."
Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said that losing Dickey hurt the conference, but that the addition of Knight would certainly add to the already impressive list of Big 12 coaches.
"Certainly Bobby's credentials and success is well known," Sutton said. "It will just strengthen the conference. I don't think there is a league that top to bottom has better coaches."
But the questions of whether the volatile Knight will fit into a conference filled with established coaches remains.
Sutton has a less than confident answer.

Cuts damage University's reputation, coaches say
Continued from page 1B
Hedrick also questioned the manner in which the University and the Kansas University Athletic Corporation went about making the decision.
Hedrick said that he was curious about whom the KUAC represented and that he hoped its mission was to represent the entire University community. If so, he said it would have been prudent to seek input from faculty, staff, students and alumni regarding the situation.
The Kansas swimming team is in a time of transition with new coach Doug Dickinson, who could have met the challenge of rebuilding the team, Hedrick said. With six quality programs in the Big 12, the loss of the Kansas team will hurt the conference in both depth and quality, he said.
"Would the KU family be proud of the fact that just hours after the men's swimming team got back from the Big 12 Conference championship they were called into a meeting and told that they were no longer a part of the KU family?" Hedrick said.
"Since I have been at Iowa State,
other than men's basketball, I believe one would be hard pressed to find another Jayhawk men's program that consistently was ranked in the top 25 like the swimming program was," Hedrick said. "I firmly believe that with that tradition, KU would quickly move back into the national rankings and continue to produce All-Americans as they have done successfully in the past on a regular basis."
Baylor men's tennis coach Matt Knoll started his coaching career at Kansas. During his two-year tenure as an assistant coach, the Jayhawks won the Big 8 Conference both years while earning a Top 10 national ranking. In the final years of the conference, Kansas dominated the Big Eight and finished in second place in the first year of the Big 12 in 1997. Knoll said.
"I am bitterly disappointed by this decision," Knoll said. "When I heard the news, it was like someone had punched me in the stomach. KU has been in the NCAAs regularly and continues to field a good team."
While the 'Hawks have slipped some in the rankings, they still reached the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament last season before Knoll's Baylor team knocked them out.
On the heels of Frederick's announcement, the Kansas men's tennis team took on No. 5 Texas A&M on Wednesday, nearly pulling off the upset against the Aggies. A crowd of supporters attended the match at the Alvamar Racquet Club, showing their loyalty to the recently terminated squad.
The internal cuts announced by Frederick on March 4 will save the department $600,000 next year and $3.6 million during the next five years.
"I was shocked. It's sobering to think that a great institution like the University of Kansas can't find a way to support a lifetime sport like tennis." Knoll said. "It's certainly understandable that travel expenses went up when KU joined the Big 12, but so did revenues.
"I wish the Athletic Department had chosen to reach out to all the prominent tennis alumni. I understand that several have already expressed a desire to help, but no one asked them before the decision," he said.

Reluctant teams start the dance
The three-time Big South champ and the Southland Conference representative from Natchitoches, La., arrived yesterday to prepare for a play-in game they both dreaded.
DAYTON, Ohio — All of the floor decals and banners can't hide the downside to the NCAA tournament's opening game — Winthrop and Northwestern State would rather not be in it.
The winner of tonight's tournament opener gets to face top-seeded Illinois only three days later. The loser gets the consolation of knowing it appeared in the NCAA tournament.
It's not much consolation
"We felt like we shouldn't have been in this game, but there's nothing we can do about it." Winthrop forward Derrick Knox said.
No matter how the NCAA dressed it up, it was the game no one wanted to play. Faced with a shrinking number of at-large bids, the NCAA decided to expand the tournament to 65 teams this year.
The two worst tests in the draw — Nos. 64 and 65 — were matched in a
play-in that had only some of the trappings and a fraction of the anticipation for a regular NCAA tournament game.
No wonder the players were mad about their slot in March Madness.
"I don't think our kids are very happy about being the 65th team in the nation." Winthrop coach Gregg Marshall said. "The good news is there are 254 other teams that would love to trade places with us."
The NCAA returned to a play-in format this year because the Western Athletic Conference and the Mountain West got automatic bids. The NCAA wants to keep 34 at-large bids, but now has 31 automatic conference bids to hand out.
It's not the first time the NCAA has expanded the field from 64. In 1991, six teams that got automatic bids held play-in games to join the other 61 teams.
The difficult part was deciding which two teams would have to put up with the disadvantages of last-minute travel and an extra game only three days before facing a No.1 seed.
"Winthrop finished second in the Big South regular season — that's the 31st rated conference." NCAA selec-
committee chairman Mike Tanghese said. "Northwestern State finished fourth in the Southland, which is the 29th-rated conference."
Winthrop has an RPI of 188, worst in the 65-team field. Northwestern State has the third-worst at 169 — N.C.Greensboro is at 177. Both of these 18-12 teams needed remarkable comebacks just to get this far.
Northwestern State lost to Arkansas by 68 points in December and was 11-11 on Feb. 15. The Demons won seven of their last eight games to get their first NCAA tournament bid in their 25 years in Division I.
Just like Winthrop, they're representing a conference that has never won an NCAA tournament game.
Winthrop has won three straight Big South tournament titles, but lost to Auburn by 39 points and to Oklahoma by 24 points in its first-round NCAA games.
The one upside to a play-in game: it assures a first-ever tournament win for one of the two reluctant participants.
"Both of us can play someone more on their own level, as opposed to having to slay Goliath in the first round," Marshall said.
No Big 12 teams to play in KC
Thanks to the NCAA selection committee, there'll be no Big 12 Conference teams in Kemper Arena this week for the men's Midwest Regional, even though Kansas City is a Big 12 town and the conference is the official host.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — So pulling almost 300 jobs out of Kansas City and abandoning its long-time home town for a not of gold in Indiana wasn't enough?
The Associated Press
"I was shocked," said coach Kelvin Sampson of Oklahoma. "Two things shocked me the most, Texas being a No. 6 seed and the fact we don't have a Big 12 team in Kansas City."
The NCAA once again has given the back of its hand to this place the pioneers called Possum Trot.
Of course, the members of the selection committee were not involved in the decision several years ago to leave Kansas City and move the NCAA's headquarters to Indianapolis. But to basketball fans in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma that may be a subtle, meaningless distinction.
None of the teams assigned to the Friday through Sunday format in Kansas City is closer than about 400
Equally puzzled was Eddie Sutton, whose Oklahoma State Cowboys were made the No. 11 seed at Greensboro, N.C., in the East Regional.
miles from Kemper Arena.
As the 65-team bracket was unveiled Sunday evening, Sampson was happy to see that his Sooners had not been sent to the first regionals that were announced.
Kansas was made a No. 4 seed in Dayton, Ohio.
Missouri got a No. 9 seed in Greensboro, and Iowa State, the conference regular season champ, drew a No.
2 seed and was sent all the way to Boise, Idaho.
"I thought they'd send Iowa State, Missouri or Kansas to Kansas City," Sutton said. "That really surprised me. My wife and I were talking about that last night."
They were identified as the No. 4 seed in the South, shipped to Memphis, Tenn.
The teams that did get to Kansas City include Butler, Iona, Wake Forest and Xavier.
It's not a lineup to generate much excitement among Big 12 fans.
A Kansas City television station had a shot of the Kemper Arena box office where NCAA game tickets were being sold shortly after the end of the Big 12 tourney – the place was deserted.
Driver honors Earnhardt in Atlanta win
The Associated Press
HAMPTON, Ga. — Date Earnhardt's thrillingly narrow win against Bobby Labonte in last year's Cracker Barrel 500 was considered the greatest finish in Atlanta Motor Speedway history.
It kept that distinction for about a year.
Rookie Kevin Harvick, who took over Earnhardt's ride after the seven-time Winston Cup champ was killed in the Daytona 500, took the lead with a three-wide pass with five laps left. He held off a charging Jeff Gordon by inches on Sunday and won the 325-lan race.
Harvick's margin of victory was 0.006 seconds, even smaller than Earnhardt's 0.010 from last year.
"All I have to say is this one is for Dale," said Harvick, 25, the top-finishing rookie in all three of his starts. "We just bided our time. I think somebody was watching over us."
The win and following celebration sent most of the 125,000 fans into a frenzy. Harvick took a victory lap with his hand out the window, holding up three fingers in honor of the No. 3 made famous by Earnhardt.
"I don't even know how to put it into words," said Harvick, who drove a white No. 29 while NASCAR observes a one-year moratorium on the No. 3. It was the same car Earnhardt drove to second place in last season's finale at Atlanta. "It took an extra lap afterwards to get the emotional part out of the way. And then pulling into victory lane and see all those guys who have supported me through probably one of the hardest times of their lives and the hardest situation of my life."
After Harvick zoomed past Jerry Nadeau and Dale Jarrett and took the lead on lap 320, Gordon took second and steadily moved closer. Gordon's only attempt at a pass came in Turn 4 of the final lap, when he pulled under Harvick's car heading to the checkered flag.
"It was a great win for them," Gordon said of Harwick and his Richard Childress-owned team. "He did what it took to win. He had a good car. But he made the move. He took them three-wide and passed those two guys that were battling."
The cars touched slightly as they approached the finish line, and NASCAR needed a few seconds to declare Harvick the winner.
The win for Harvick, last year's Busch Series Rookie of the Year, was the soonest ever in a Winston Cup race, coming in only his third attempt.

Nadeau held on for third despite a spin on the second lap, followed by pole-sitter Jarrett and Terry Labonte.
For Childress, the victory capped a heart-wrenching three weeks since Earnhardt, his longtime driver and friend, lost his life in the final lap of the Daytona 500.
"I just kept praying there at the end, praying for Dale to help us, and he did." Childress said. "I'm speechless. I didn't think I was very emotional. I guess I find out lately how soft I really am."

Harvick and the rest of the field spent most of the early going trailing Gordon, who led 122 of the first 142 laps until he ran out of gas. He lost a lap when he coasted to the pits, and he didn't regain the lost ground until a lap 275 caution for Matt Kenseth's spin.
Nadeau, one of Gordon's teammates, was leading at the time, and he slowed abruptly on the track to let Gordon by and back into the lead lan
Then, second-year driver Dave Blaney dominated the race for 70 laps before mechanical problems ended his day.

Oklahoma coaches proud of teams
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Every coach in the NCAA basketball tournament is happy to be there. Two of the proudest may be Eddie Sutton of Oklahoma State and Kelvin Sampson of Oklahoma.
Both have endured difficult seasons that have tested each man, but they have found ways to lead their teams to major accomplishments.
Oklahoma State lost two players and eight members of its traveling party in a plane crash Jan. 27 in Colorado. The Cowboys lost three of their five games after the crash, then regrouped and went 5-2 the rest of the way. At 20:9, they were made the No.1 seed in the East regional.
"I think a team with less character and less courage certainly wouldn't have made it," Sutton said yesterday.
Oklahoma started conference play 1-3, then wine nine out of 10 to make a run at first place in the Big 12. But then the player who led that surge, guard J.R. Raymond, was kicked off the team by Sampson for violating an undisclosed
team policy.
OSU
band together, to bond together as a team," Sampson said.
The Sooners did that. They lost their first game without Raymond, on the road against Maryland, but since then have won five in a row including a three-game sweep in Kansas City, Mo., that gave them their first Big 12 tournament title.
Now 26-8. Oklahoma is the No. 4 seed in the South regional.

the cowboys lost at home to Texas to drop to 15-7.
Oklahoma State responded by winning four straight games to get to 19-7. The Cowboys lost at Oklahoma in the
final game of the regular season, then won their first-round game in the conference tournament for their 20th victory.
"I don't think we've played an outstanding game since we beat Oklahoma, and that's been over a month ago." Sutton said. "We've been able to win, but they haven't been pretty."
Nothing has been very pretty in Norman or Stillwater this year, but neither coach is complaining now.
"We're conference champions," Sampson said after his team's victory in Kansas City. "T'll always remember cutting down those nets, regardless of what happens next."
Said Sutton; "I don't think anybody can fully comprehend how difficult it has been for these guys. I'm just so proud of them that we got into the NCAA tournament."
Indiana coach sheds Knight's shadow
The Associated Press
It's never quite his time, his team, his job.
It doesn't matter what Mike Davis accomplishes. It never seems to be enough. Following a legend is tough under the best of circumstances. Following Bob Knight as coach of Indiana has made cleaning up after Puffy Combs look easy.
Sunday should have been Davis' day. He didn't just pick up the pieces of a shattered basketball program, he made them fit. Davis took a team with no seniors, two returning starters and five first-year players to a 21-12 record, the final game of the Big Ten Tournament and a No. 4 seed in the NCAA bracket.
Davis' future at Indiana — or anywhere else for that matter — is hardly assured. Knight,
who hired Davis as an assistant in 1997, won three national championships and lasted 29 seasons. He can pick up the messages on his answering machine and have his pick of a half-dozen jobs.
Davis can take the team he inherited deep into the NCAA Tournament during the next three weeks and won't likely know for some time after that whether he will keep the first and only college head coaching job he has ever had.
When the university's trustees slapped the label "interim" on Davis' office door, the only promise made was not to change a thing until the season was finished.
"I respect that," Davis said. "I think I should be the head coach here next year, but I haven't asked them anything. Because they could
have came in when we were 2-3 and said, "OK,
we're going to go in a different direction."
A bleak December stretch gave way to a bright stretch in January, when the Hoosiers upset then-No. 1 Michigan State and beat upstate rival Purdue. After blowing three sizable second-half leads in conference road games at Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, Indiana closed by winning nine of the last 12.
The Hoosiers haven't advanced past the second round of the NCAA tournament in six years. But opening in the West against Kent State, with the Cincinnati-BYU winner lurking as a second-round opponent, gives Davis a chance to put even more distance between himself and the red-sweatered ghost. That would let the board of trustees see what Davis has become — his own man.
Fogler won't return as Gamecocks coach
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Eddie Fogler will not return as South Carolina's basketball coach following a 15-14 season, ending his stay of eight years at the school and possibly his career as a college coach.
Athletic director Mike McGee said yesterday that he would not extend Fogler's contract, and the coach agreed to leave. Fogler will be paid $750,000 to buy out the remaining three years of his contract.
"He was not fired," McGee said.
The move came a day after South Carolina settled for an NIT bid. McGee said Fogler would finish the season.
Fogler wanted the school to make a "stronger commitment" to him regarding his contract.
"Without this commitment, it would become increasingly more difficult to recruit, coach and maintain the present level of the program at best," he said.
"Never say never," he said when asked about another coach job, but then added, "I have no plans to be a college coach again."
The 52 year-old coach said he had no immediate plans.
Mississippi coach Rod Barnes was surprised by the developments.
"It was something that no one in our conference was anticipating," he said. "I'm hoping Eddie's happy. That's the most important thing."
McGee said Fogler was given a set of expectations this season. Those included a finish in the top half of the Southeastern Conference and progress in the SEC tournament.
"Those expectations and standards were not met," McGee said.
The Gamecocks were knocked out in the tournament quarterfinals by Kentucky, which won the tournament.
Fogler is 123-116 with two NCAA and two NIT appearances in his eight years. South Carolina was knocked out in the first round of the NCAs both times in upsets by Coppin State in 1997 and Richmond in 1998.
He took over the Gamecocks after being named coach of the year at Vanderbilt.
Last month, with talk that Fogler's job was in jeopardy, the coach said he had "great faith," and that through university president John Palms, "the right decision will be made, and I'll live with it." Fogler then said he wanted to stay in Columbia even if he lost his job.
Palms said yesterday that not extending Fogler's contract would have hurt the school's recruiting. As a result, he, Fogler and McGee "concluded this circumstance would not be the best for Carolina" or the basketball program.
McGee said he had not started the search for a new coach and would not discuss possible candidates.
Fogler's contract has a base salary of $155,000, but he will receive a total of $250,000 a year for each of the remaining three years, McGee said. The money will come from the athletic department and not from state money used to support the school, he said.
Fogler will not get all the money if he takes another coaching job before the end of the three years, McGee added.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — History buff Mike Ventura's family didn't pay much attention to his weekend hobby of dressing up in a Civil War uniform and re-enacting 140-year-old battles — until they saw a television documentary on the subject.
War re-enactors boycott channel
Stung by her words as well as the program, Ventura and many of his fellow weekend warriors are calling for a boycott of The History Channel because of the way their hobby was portrayed in *The Unfinished Civil War*.
"My daughter called me up the next day and said, 'Gee, I didn't know you and your friends were so racist,'" said Ventura, who runs his own marketing firm in Atlanta.
Producer Glenn Kirschbaum, of Greystone Communications, said he set out to make a film about the tight knit re-enactment community.
The skirmish ultimately supports the filmmaker's central point: that the Civil War is still the source of conflict generations after its end.
But after he met John Krausse, a colorful Confederate re-enactor who was also active in the unsuccessful fight to keep the Confederate flag flying in the South Carolina Capitol, the project took a different turn.
Kirschbaum used the re-enactments as a starting point to talk about present-day controversies, particularly the flag fight and a debate about a Robert E. Lee mural in Richmond, Va.
He had waded into roiling waters. Some Civil War re-enactors were already touchy about flag supporters who wore Confederate uniforms during demonstrations in South Carolina, feeling that re-enactors were being wrongly associated with a political cause.
Kirschbaum feels blindsided by the controversy.
"We really wanted to do a positive film that would encourage people to talk," the producer said. "Instead, we're being slammed."
Kirschbaum said he didn't believe that most people who saw the film considered the hobbyists to be racists. The History Channel believes no apology is necessary, said Abbe Raven, the network's vice president and general manager. There are no further plans to air The Unfinished Civil War, which aired Feb. 19 and was shown one other time, but that has nothing to do with the boycotters' demand that it be permanently shelved, she said.

Pitcher welcomes contact
The Associated Press
HAINES CITY, Fla. — Pitcher Brian Meadows, off to a good start with the Kansas City Royals this spring, likes batters to make contact with what he serves up to them
— early and often.
"Brian's not afraid of contact," says Royals manager Tony Muser.
KG
R
Royala
M e a d o w s admits it took him a while to come to that viewpoint, but now he accepts it readily.
"I want the hitter to hit the first three pitches I ter to hit "he," said yesterday. "The more they see of me, the more chances I have of getting hurt.
"If they hit the first three pitches, it helps the defense behind me, helps the tempo of the game, speeds the game up, keeps everybody more aware."
A third of the way through spring
training, Meadows has been tne Royals best pitcher - 1-0 with a .090 earned run average in three starts. He's allowed six hits and just one run, with no walks and six strikeouts in 10 innings
On Sunday against Philadelphia, he worked four scoreless innings, striking out four without a walk and retiring the first 11 batters he faced. The only hit off him was an infield single.
The 6-foot-4 right-hander occasionally reaches the lower 90s with his fastball, but his working range is from the mid- to upper 80 miles per hour.
"I'm not going to light any radar guns up." Meadows said. "I'm not going to blow anybody away. I have to have command of all my pitches and get the ground ball.
"It took a while to learn that in pro ball, but I accept that role. In high school, you can blow it by people at 85 miles per hour, but you can't do that in pro ball."
After high school in Alabama, Meadows was a third-round draft choice of the Florida Marlins in 1994. By 1998 he was the Marlins'
opening day starter, and he led the team in victories with 11 that season. He won another 11 games the following year, then was traded to San Diego.
Last season he was 7-8 with a 5.34 ERA in 22 starts before the Padres traded him to the Royals on July 31 for pitcher Jay Witsak. With Kansas City, Meadows was 6-2 with a 4.77 ERA in 11 games, 10 of them start.
"My goal this year is 15 wins," Meadows said. "I won 11 the first two years and 13 last year. I want to get better than 13."
Muser attributes Meadows' spring training success to keeping the ball low in the strike zone after pointers from pitching coach Brent Strom.
Meadows said just a slight change in his mechanics aided the downward movement of his pitches.
"It's definitely helping the movement of some of my pitches, and it's going to get me more ground balls," he said. "I was turning into a fly ball pitcher. I've got to keep the ball on the ground."
JUPITER, Fla. — The third spring appearance for Darryl Kile was more like last season than the first two.
The Associated Press
Cardinal pitcher fresh for spring
Kile, coming off his first 20-win season a all owed three hits in five scoreless innings in the St
ST LOUIS
CARDINALS
Louis Cardinals' 5-0 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a split-squad game yesterday.
Kile totaled five innings his first two spring outouts, the last one in relief, allowing three runs. He struck out three and walked one against the Dodgers.
"Right now, I'm just trying to get rhythm," Kile said. "If you notice, I'm a little herky jerky. My No.1 priority is to try to find my rhythm and hopefully get into sync quick."
Mike Timlin and Steve Kline
completed a four-hitter, each working two innings. Kline struck out the last four batters.
"Beware National League," said Mark McGwire. "We've got a nice staff."
Kile, who batted, 123 last year, also walked twice.
"Honestly, I wanted to swing,
and if I swung I'm probably out," Kile said. "Ramon's ball is moving a lot and I couldn't get wood on it, so why swine?"
Kile, who struggled pitching for Colorado in 1999 and 2000, said there wasn't much carryover from last season's success. Like an unproven pitcher, he came in with a laundry list of improvements to make.
"What happened last year is over," Kile said. "I've got to focus on the things I didn't do well last year, and I think every player does."
High on his list was developing a better changeup.
"I threw quite a few today," Kile said. "Some good, some not so good."
Martínez worked four innings and gave up two runs on two
hits with five walks and five strikeouts.
Rookie Albert Pujols added a two-run homer, his second of the spring, in the eighth off Onan Masaoka.
Notes:
n Mike Matheny added an RBI single to the 5th for St. Louis.
n Mike Matheny added an RBI single in the first for St. Louis.
n Right-hander Garrett Stephenson, recovering from an elbow injury in the postseason, is scheduled to throw batting practice for the first time today.
n Second baseman and leadoff hitter Fernando Vina, out since the second game of the spring with an Achilles tendon injury in his left foot, expects to be return to the lineup Thursday or Friday.
n McGwire hit his second home run of the spring, a two-run shot in the first off Ramon Martinez. McGwire added an RBI single in the fifth off Yorkis Perez, giving him four RBI this spring.
He stopped well short of saying he was rounding into form.
Baseball players try to break tradition of smokeless 'spit' tobacco
"There's a long way to go," McGwire said.
The Associated Press
FORT MYERS, Fla. — The top shelf of Lou Merloni's locker had the usual baseball stuff — a cap, a glove, a couple of wristbands.
One thing was missing
There was no can of smokeless tobacco, the kind players tuck between the lower lip and gum to deliver relaxation and nicotine.
The Boston Red Sox infielder used it for nearly a decade, back to his Providence College days. He knew it could lead to oral cancer, tooth decay and other health problems.
But he was young and athletic. Surely, that wouldn't happen to him. So he kept "dipping" and, he said, became dependent.
"I'm a smart kid," Merlon said.
"I had people telling me. I've seen pictures. I know what it can do, but you still do it."
Then a relative and two close
friends got cancers unrelated to smokeless tobacco. He saw the toll the disease took on them and their loved ones.
So, with a nicotine patch on his left shoulder and anti-anxiety medication, he's been off the tobacco for two months.
"It's not going to happen again," Merloni, 29, said. "I'm not going to have another one."
Many major-leaguers can't say that. Some use smokeless tobacco to relieve stress or pass idle time. Others use leaf tobacco that forms a chaw in the cheek. Both are banned in Little League, college baseball and the minors.
"Our hope is that if you don't use it in the minors, you won't start picking it up when you get to the majors," Major League Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney said.
It can be difficult to sever the connection between baseball and tobacco, said Paul Turner, director of the National Spit Tobacco Education Program.
"As kids, there's always been that association of spit tobacco with baseball, and we want to break that stereotype," he said.
U. S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. controls a majority of the market and said it is committed to marketing only to adults.
"We were the only smokeless tobacco manufacturer to voluntarily adopt marketing and advertising restrictions and financially support programs to reduce youth usage of tobacco products," company representative Mark Rozelle said in a statement.
"Nearly five million adults in a wide variety of professions have chosen smokeless tobacco as their preferred way to experience tobacco satisfaction and the company goes to great lengths to market its products responsibly."
Rozelle, who declined an interview request, said the company had a policy against distributing products to pro teams or athletes.
But baseball players can buy them. Walk into any big-league clubhouse and you're bound to see round cans of Copenhagen, Skoal or Kodiak.
In a 1999 spring training survey by smokeless tobacco opponents, players were asked about their use in the previous 30 days.
Of 313 major-leaguers responding, 10.9 percent said they used leaf tobacco, 23.3 said they used the dipping kind and 5.8 said they used both. Of 1,145 minor-leaguers who answered, 10.7 percent said they used leaf tobacco, 18.3 said they used dipping tobacco and 4.2 said they used both.
Baseball announcer Joe Garagiola, national chairman of the NSTEP that did the survey, bristles at the phrase "smokeless
tobacco."
"Smokeless," he said, "does not mean harmless." He prefers the less savory phrase, "spit tobacco.
U. S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. recently changed its name from U.S. Tobacco Co., to indicate it doesn't sell cigarettes.
Garagiola said bans didn't work. He prefers educating people.
"The NCAA says, 'If you spit, you sit,'" he said. "I've talked to baseball teams on the college level and every time I find four or five guys who want to quit."
Australia has laws against importing tobacco, but Mike Neill, a star on last year's U.S. Olympic-champion baseball team and now a Red Sox minor leaguer, said some teammates used smoke-less tobacco at the Sydney Games.
"Where there's a will, there's a way," he said.
Merloni found it in Japan where he played early last season.
"I realized over there how dependent I was," he said. "You can only get it on Army bases and I told my interpreter, I said, 'Listen, I've got to get there. I've got to get some of this stuff.'"
Gargiola said some people thought he was too zealous in crusading against smokeless tobacco.
"I don't want somebody to come down with cancer and say, 'Joe, you were right,'" he said.
Recently, Boston College coach Peter Hughes played with his sons, aged 2 and 4, in the clubhouse after facing the Red Sox. Another son is one month old.
"Enough's enough," said Hughes, who ended 14 years of smokeless tobacco use 10 months ago. "It's a time bomb. I've got three little boys. I want to watch them grow up."

Foreign trips bring risks
Students traveling abroad need to follow local laws
Bv Michelle Ward
by Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
James Radina, Phoenix senior, is ready to "experience anything" when he travels to Jamaica this spring break. Radina, who is going with eight pledge brothers from Kappa Sigma, plans to have fun while avoiding any run-ins with the law.
He will spend the week outside of the United States experiencing a new and different culture as many other University of Kansas students will. While they leave the familiar confines of their native country, they also leave behind U.S. laws. They will fall under the jurisdiction of their visiting countries, which could spell trouble for some visitors.
More than 2,500 Americans are arrested each year in foreign countries — about half on drug charges. Countries also may differ in their laws for alcohol use, accidents and crimes against people who are intoxicated, according to the U.S. State Department. The department is urging young people to use caution when traveling to foreign nations.
"Iam worried that the police will look for college students and keep trying to pin stuff on us," he said.
Radina said he had traveled to South Padre, Texas, and Cancun, Mexico, without ending up in jail.
David Wiley, outreach coordinator for study abroad, said students should be sensitive to the country they are visiting and act appropriately. If it is a conservative culture, students should wear khakis instead of shorts. He said they should try to avoid sticking out as tourists by not wearing college sweatshirts. They should also take safety precautions like wearing a money bag, so if their pockets are picked, they still have cash, Wiley said.
It is important for Americans to know they don't fall under American law when visiting a foreign country, Wiley said. Furthermore, there is little the American consulate can do, he said.
TRAVEL TIPS
American citizens should remember that they are subject to other countries' laws when traveling abroad.
Travelers should also consider bringing extra cash or a credit card for emergencies, but should safequard them.
- Violent crimes like rape commonly, but not exclusively, occur at night or in the early morning hours. Travelers should be aware of their surroundings and take general precautions.
Source: U.S. State Department
"I would view drugs and those things the same way I would in Lawrence," Wiley said. "It's just better not to do something you know is wrong."
Radina said he experienced police harassment first-hand in Cancun, where officers tried to blame Radina for defacing public property. He said he explained to the police what had happened, but they didn't understand English. Luckily, Radina was able to resolve the situation without a trip to the police station, but it scared him into a new way of thinking.
"I learned my lesson. I'm going to stay on the down low this time," Radina said.
Laura Veazey, a Hesston junior, will take a trip with her boyfriend and two roommates south of the border. The four will drive 24 hours to Kino, Mexico, to relax in a fishing village west of Hermosillo. A ware of the dangers of traveling in a foreign county, the group has a rule of no highway driving at night
"There could just be wacky things on the road." Veaeyed said. "It's good for safety reasons, too, just in case we have a flat tire or something."
However, time away from the University is something everyone is looking forward to as spring break approaches.
"After midterms, this is a god send," she said.

Meth labs threaten local neighborhoods
By Cássio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Meth labs are a threat to Kansas children and families, an environmental scientist for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment told a group of 20 people last night at the Lawrence Public Library.
R Trevor Flynn, administrative coordinator for the department's Meth Lab Cleanup Program, said the program had done much to stop the threat.
The program seized 702 Kansas meth labs in 2000, up from 511 in 1999.
In Douglas County, Flynn said,
10 labs were seized last year.
Beth Anne Mansur, vice president of the Brookcreek Neighborhood Association, said the discussion on meth labs was timely because she had noticed a problem with meth labs in her neighborhood and had been contacted by neighborhood associations with similar problems.
"We have one house that blew up because of it." Mansur said.
Flynn said meth labs were highly explosive because the solvents used to make meth were exposed to flames to speed up the process. By not allowing the chemicals'
"Unlike crack and cocaine, it doesn't need to be smoked," Flynn said.
Flynn said meth was popularized during the 1960s by motorcycle gangs in California.

"Life or Meth"
Meth is usually cheaper than cocaine and lasts longer because the body metabolizes it slowly.
gases to leave the houses, meth producers create an explosive environment. Flynn said.
See www.kansan.com
Its use spread for several reasons, he said.
He said the drug was 95 percent addictive, compared to heroin's 89 percent rate.
"Once people get hooked on it, it's really hard to kick it," Flynn said.
Flynn said for each pound of meth produced, six pounds of waste were generated.
Mansur said having the public forum was a way of tackling the issue, but it wasn't the only step.
"We are talking to other neighborhood associations who found similar problems," Mansur said.

Landlord ordinance questioned
Benefits could bypass students
By Erin Adamson
By Erin Adamson writer@kansas.com Kansas staff writer
The landlord licensing and registration ordinance being drafted by the City Commission will not require the inspection of houses zoned for multi-family use, many of which are occupied by students.
The proposed ordinance would require only landlords of properties in neighborhoods zoned for single-family use to register their properties yearly and have them periodically inspected.
Holly Krebs, representative from Student Senate, asked the
commission not to single-family last night's commission meeting.

Krebs said the city was
one building inspector to inspect all the residences in Lawrence, and the city would need to hire another inspector to help with the increased workload of routine inspections. The city now inspectes homes on a complaint basis.
Krebss: ordinance unfairly targets certain groups
creating an unfair ordinance that held some tenants, landlords and houses to higher standards than others in the community.
Student Senate has supported
landlord licensing in the past, but Krebs said the focus of the current ordinance was not what students had envisioned when they supported licensing and registration.
The proposed ordinance would require all owners of residences zoned for single families to license their rentals annually and pay an initial registration fee of $25. Corliss said the purpose of the $25 fee was to recover the minimum processing costs for registration.
Mayor Jim Henry said the purpose of the ordinance was to make sure all residents lived in safe, healthy buildings.
David Corliss, assistant city manager, said that although the commission was working toward a final draft of the ordinance, it could not enforce the law until 2002 because the city first had to budget money to enforce the ordinance.
The costs of enforcing the ordinance include hiring additional staff and paying for the processing of registration forms and sending out inspection notices.
Corliss said the city had only

Students part of plan to raise University ranking
By Cássio Furtado
Kansan staff writer
An endowment campaign designed to make the University of Kansas one of the top 25 public universities in the nation will include students in all steps of the initiative.
In three years, the University of Kansas has slipped from No. 30 to No. 42 in a ranking of national public universities, according to last fall's U.S. News and World Report college guide. The rankings were based on factors such as the University's academic reputation, retention and faculty resources.
The new endowment campaign.
which will be announced publicly in the fall, will be spearheaded by four students, five faculty and two staff members who will seek money from private donors through the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Tom Beisecker, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said it was valuable to have students involved with the campaign to improve the University's standing.
Beisecker said students should be involved with all aspects of the campaign, from deciding the priorities to calling and meeting KU alumni who might donate money to the campaign.
"The endowment association provides enrichment for the University," Beisecker said.
He said that students being involved in the campaign would help the student body know more about what the endowment association does.
Bates said she thought she had been selected because she maintained a good relationship with faculty and staff at the University.
Courtney Bates, Black Student Union president, was one of four students selected to serve on the campaign committee.
chosen for that position." Bates said.
She said that students being a part of the campaign sent a message that the University was concerned about students and their priorities.
The other students selected were: Ben Walker, student body president; Jameson Jones, Dallas sophomore; and Joshua Burdette, engineering senator.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway outlined the goals of the campaign last fall, which would include doubling the number of endowed professorships to about 120, adding more student scholarships, and constructing a new undergraduate science building and an addition to Learned Hall.

Students to lobby for tech fee's return
Students are traveling to the state capitol in Topeka today to lobby for issues concerning the University of Kansas.
One of the top issues the students are lobbying for is the restoration of the two-for-one technology fee. For the past three years, students have paid $1 per credit hour while the state doubled that, paying $2 per credit hour. When Gov. Bill Graves submitted his budget proposal in January, it did not include the continuation of the fee.
Erin Simpson, Student Senate Executive Committee member, said lobbying could be a hard task because students didn't have a lot of political clout at the Capitol.
Last month Simpson and Jessica Bankston, Student Legislative Awareness Board director, set up a postcard writing campaign at which students filled out post cards stating the importance of the technology fee to higher education and sent them to state senators and representatives.

Man seen masturbating outside sorority house
An unidentified man was seen mas turbating at 11 p.m. Monday on the north side of the Delta Delta Delta sorority house, 1630 Oxford Rd., Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Mike Patrick said two people leaving the sorority house saw the man and called the police.
Patrick described the man as a white male, 5-foot-10, about 220 pounds and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and dark clothing.
Man exposing himself caught with pants down
A 19-year-old man was booked into the Douglas County Jail yesterday morning on the charge of lewd and lascivious behavior.
A 24-year-old KU student called the police after the man exposed himself to her, Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Patrick said.
Patrick said several apartment residents had called Innovative Security because the man was exposing himself. Innovative Security personnel located the suspect in a stairway of the P building of the Colony Woods apartment complex, 1301 W. 24th St., with his pants down, Patrick said.
The man appeared to be in an influenced state, Patrick said, and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical transported him to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for examination. He was then booked into the jail. Brett Steven Sterling, St. Paul, Minn., was released on $250 bond yesterday morning. His first appearance in court will be at 3 p.m. Wednesday, March 28.

Motorola plans layoff of still more employees
CHICAGO — Motorola Inc. is eliminating 7,000 more jobs in its cellular phone division, bringing the number of cuts announced at the company to 16,000 during the past three months.
The world's No. 2 cellphone maker blamed the latest reductions yesterday on the cooling economy, which has put a big chill on sales.
Motorola's work force has shrunk more than 10 percent since December as it heads toward the end of what it expects to be its first quarter with an operating loss since 1985.
Controller OK'd bombing that killed six people
WASHINGTON — The Navy pilot whose bombs killed six people in a training accident in Kuwait had received the go-ahead from a U.S. forward air controller, defense officials said westerday.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the controller, whose job was to direct a pilot to a ground target, gave the pilot an unambiguous instruction to release the bombs. Seconds later, apparently realizing a mistake had been made, the controller called, "abort, abort," but it was too late.
The U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for American military operations in the Persian Gulf area, appointed a three-star general to lead an investigation.
It was not clear whether the controller was among those killed.
Rear Adm. Craig Quigley, the chief Pentagon representative, said he did not know in detail the sequence of events that led to the fatal accident Monday evening at the Udairi training range in northern Kuwait.
College drinkers outgrow habits, researchers say
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia say evidence shows that members of fraternities and sororites who drink too much eventually outgrow it.
University psychologist Kenneth Sher and colleagues Bruce Bartholow and Shivani Nanda based their study on 319 students.
The researchers gave the students psychological tests and quizzed them about their drinking habits each year of college and again three years after they graduated. The results appear in this month's issue of the journal "Psychology of Addictive Behaviors."
According to the study, there was about twice as much heavy drinking — drinking enough to become intoxicated — among students in Greek organizations as among other students.
NEW YORK — The case against rapper Sean "Puffy" Combs comes down to a simple formula: three defendants and three guns, a prosecutor told jurors yesterday as the trial neared its end.

GIESSEN, Germany — AU.S. soldier burst into tears when a military panel cleared him yesterday of the accidental shooting death of a 6-year-old boy in Kosovo.
Pfc. Nicholas E. Young, who was 19 at the time of the July 10 shooting, was cleared of charges of negligent homicide and dereliction of duty. He had been serving as a peacekeeper in Kosovo.
A neuropsychologist testified Young suffered from a severe learning disability — providing what appeared to be the most convincing evidence the soldier's superiors should not have allowed him to carry the automatic weapon he was given in Kosovo.

Kansas Hispanic population has doubled in past ten years
TOPEKA — Kansas, long considered a rural breadbasket state of the nation, is more urban than a decade ago, and more diverse — largely because the Hispanic population doubled.
The Associated Press
Census figures released yesterday showed 57 of the state's 105 counties lost population in the past decade, primarily in rural Kansas.
Since 1990, Kansas' population increased 8.5 percent to 2,688,418 on April 1, 2000.
The figures showed the number of Kansas Hispanics of all races rose from 93,670 to 188,252—a 100 percent jump. In 1990, Hispanics made up 3.6 percent of the state's population; now it's 9.7 percent.
Nationally, the Hispanic population jumped by 58 percent in the last decade. "Hispanic" is considered an ethnicity, not a race; people of Hispanic ethnicity can be of any race.
"I think it's a surprise for all of us. We knew it was increasing, but not by that amount," said Thelma Helyar, editor of the Kansas Statistical Abstract
population was undercounted.
"It may be misunderstanding or fear that this information will be used against them," said Mayans, R-Wichita.
Another growth spurt was shown among Kansas Asians, whose numbers grew by 47 percent. Asians and Pacific Islanders accounted for 31,750 of the state's population in 1990.
In 2000, the census said, 46,806 Kansans were Asians — representing 1.7 percent of the population. Another 1,313 listed themselves as Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.
In the 2000 headcount, people could identify themselves as a member of any of 63 racial categories, up from five in 1990.
Whites still were the majority of Kansans: 2,313,944, or 86 percent. The number represents a 3.6 percent increase.
Meanwhile, 5.7 percent of the state's population — 154,198 — is black. A decade ago, there were 143,076 blacks, also 5.7 percent.
In Kansas, 56.496 residents took advantage of the option to identify themselves as belonging to more than one race.

Four University of Kansas art students are bridging the gap between college life and the professional world with an off-campus exhibition.

The students — three artists and a curator — have worked to bring their art show, Times and Speeds, to the Dirt Gallery, 1323 Union St., a popular art gallery in Kansas City, Mo.
The show's Friday night opening, complete with disc jockeys, alcohol and dressy attire, was a success, said Jesse "Hesse" McGraw, an Olathe senior majoring in new art genres.
McGraw said it was exciting to gain an audience other than the student community.
It's really fulfilling to get the work shown in a profes sional show, outside a university setting. McGraw said
Brock Batten, New York City senior and sculpture major, said he viewed the exhibition as an opportunity for KU students to represent Lawrence and the University in a professional space.
"There's a bit of a separation between the Lawrence community and the Kansas City art community." said
Batten, who has also done a solo exhibition at the Pedestrian Gallery in Kansas City, Mo.

Michelle Martynowicz, a Leawood junior and the event's curator, said an enormous amount of hard work went into making the Dirt Gallery exhibition a reality.
The idea for the show sprung from a conversation with Aaron Storck, a New York City senior majoring in new genres, at a party last summer.
Storck said most students underestimated their abilities to create
professional projects while in school.
"Other students feel it's impossible to do something like this, or that they have to wait," Storck said. "We carved it right out and made it happen."
Times and Speeds features paintings, a video projection and other art media. The exhibition ends Sunday, April 15. Edited by Matt Daugherty

Students too busy to exercise often
By Livi Regenbaum

Kansan staff writer
The busy life of a student juggling classes and work often does not leave time for exercise.
"The most exercise I get is walking up the hill to class every day," said Heather Krasovac, Garden City senior.
Krasovec said she didn't exercise because she didn't have time and she didn't think it was necessary.
Blake Gladfelter, Wichita freshman, said he didn't feel the need to exercise.
"I never exercise because I'm too lazy," he said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that only one in four U.S. adults gets enough exercise and that physical inactivity has been linked to heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Ann Chapman, nutritionist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that not getting enough exercise was a major concern for the student population.
"We are more sedentary than we used to be, and that can be a contributing factor to obesity," she said.
Chapman said exercise was important for several reasons, including the prevention of obesity.
"Exercise helps reduce stress,"
"I never exercise because I'm lazy."
Blake Gladfelter Wichita freshman
she said, "It helps people sleep better, and it improves self-esteem."
Dennis Jacobsen, associate professor of health, sport and exercise sciences, said students weren't getting enough exercise.
He said that less than 25 percent of the student population exercised. The CDC recommends that all Americans exercise for at least 30 minutes on most, if not all, days of the week. he said.
Jacobsen said exercise had several benefits and helped with a variety of conditions.
"There are psychological benefits," he said. "It will help control body weight and the risk for cardiovascular disease."
Jessica Bare, Lenexa senior, said that she exercised every other day in order to stay in shape. She runs on a treadmill and does weight training.
"I exercise just to stay healthy, and it just makes me feel overall better," she said.

Athletics Department cuts
Point/Counterpoint
Our view: The football team neither merits more money nor is likely to have more success because of it
Generally, in the world of big college athletics, wins and losses decide whether a coach and a program are rewarded. If the team wins, the team makes more money for the athletic program.
The stakes are even higher for men's basketball and football, which are the two sports that have the potential to produce large amounts of revenue that oftentimes sustain athletic departments. Somehow, the maxim of wins and losses got turned on its head when athletics director Bob Frederick announced that the football budget would increase incrementally over the next five years.
Part of this money is being spent to give the current coaches raises and bring in new staff members. Though the coaches had been the lowest paid coaches in the conference, there had been little evidence to suggest that the coaches deserved a raise based on job performance.
But the plan inadvertently punishes other segments of the Athletics Department for the losses on the football field by eliminating the men's swimming and tennis teams — both programs that have experienced some success. Frederick claimed that there was not enough money in the budget to cover these programs in the future, but somehow found money to increase the amount spent on football from $4.4 million this year to $6.7 million in 2006. At the same time, the Athletics Department itself projects the team to pull in less annually, with the projected income decreasing from $2.8 million to $2.7 million.
Coming off five losing seasons
with a tradition that is mediocre at best, it would seem that investing large sums of money in the football team is a high-risk proposition. The overall record for KU football is 511-487-58. In the '90s, the football team was the epitome of mediocrity, holding a record of 56-57-1, with those numbers being slightly skewed to one 10-2 season. There is little one-on-one contact in
the history books that would lead one to believe sustained improvement and profitability is in the near future.
The major complaint is that attendance is too low at football games and that fans should be less apathetic during football season and not just use football as a diversion until basketball begins. But this works two ways. The football team has given little reason for students to support it because of the team's actions both on and off the field. Sexual assault allegations, an attempt to attack Taco Bell employees through a drive-thru window and the lowest

team do intrude to attract fan support. Given the history of the Kansas football team, it is difficult to justify the budget moves made by Frederick. The football program did nothing to
merit additional funds, showing no sign of improvement, and perhaps backtracking, during Terry Allen's tenure. Increasing the football budget makes the cutbacks in other areas difficult to swallow, given that there is little chance that the Athletics Department will see any return on its investment.

The decision to discontinue the men's tennis and men's
The decision to discontinue the men's tennis and men's swimming and diving teams was made only after every reliable source of revenue was closely examined for any potential increase.

KU
deficits of $688,391 next year, growing to $2,383,855 in 2004-05. At this time, it is not possible to generate enough additional revenue to erase these deficits. The only reasonable option was to discontinue sport programs to significantly reduce expenses.
The Athletics Department is required to operate with a balanced budget.
In the past, it has been common for student fees to increase as expenses grew for the University's Olympic sport programs. The fee increase that would be
required to continue these programs would cost every student on campus an additional $30 per year. Given considerable tuition and fee increases in recent years, it is not reasonable to further burden students to finance these programs.
Despite this, there is no correlation between projected increases
the recent decision to discontinue the two teams.
The notion that the football program loses" money is a
Wes Benson/KANSAN
in the football budget and projected increases
myth created by uninformed sources. In fact, the football program generated more than $2.5 million in profit this year, enough to pay the entire operating expense budget of every sport program other than men's basketball. Football income will grow to more than $8 million by 2005.
that recent improvements to the University's athletics facilities did not whersor
cause the current financial strain. The video board at the stadium was financed entirely with income from corporate sponsors — without the board, the revenue would not have been available at all.
The scholarship suites are self-supporting through private gifts and actually generate about $300,000 a year in excess of the debt that portion of the project incurred. Most of the money spent on renovations to Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse was intended to bring extremely out-of-date facilities up to current codes and standards.
The University of Kansas' athletics budget is not bloated in any area. KU ranks 52nd out of 118 schools recently surveyed in its total athletics budget. The football budget ranks 65th in the same survey. Men's basketball was 66th, women's basketball was 40th, men's Olympic sports were 60th, and women's Olympic sports were 37th.
Projected increases in the football budget are a reflection of inflationary adjustments in operating expenditures and increased salary expenses to strengthen our competitiveness in the Big 12 Conference.
Like all major programs across the country, the future of every intercollegiate sport at KU is directly tied to the success or failure of our football and men's basketball programs. Strengthening the commitment to Kansas football helps secure the future for all student-athletes.
Additionally, the Athletics Department will be forced to increase spending on football scholarships as tuition and fees increase - at a cost of $660,000 during the next five years.

Perspective
Kansan editor's response hypocritical, insufficient
On Thursday, a rally was held in protest of the Kansan's coverage of minority events, which was sparked by the coverage of the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Congress.
The rally was not an effort to get a front-page story for African-American students. It was organized to inform the University community that coverage from some individuals who edit and report for the Kansan may misrepresent minority issues, events and programs.

Courtney Bates
guest columnist
option@kanan.com
We will be the first to admit there are many individuals at the Kansan who write excellent stories and do justice to some events. The coverage of the conference is an excellent example of the contrary. Yet certain individuals choose to believe otherwise.
"I think we all need to sit down and talk," said Lori O'Toole, Kansan editor, in a front-page story Friday. "Right now, it's just letters going back and forth, which perpetuates the barrier we're trying to break."

Yet on the opinion page the same day, she wrote a column, using it to "perpetuate the barrier" that she wants to break and again misrepresent the issue.

pointing considering that only one week ago, an African-American student told us that our coverage of Black History Month events made him feel like he was on Cloud Nine."
She also stated, "This was especially disap-
This was taken out of context. J.R. Roland actually said he was "on Cloud Nine to see his fraternity in the paper" — his reason being "this program that took little planning got so much coverage, but larger events that students plan get very little press."
Again, the Kansan, or should we say Lori O'Toole, does not understand the issue. Both Leith Schultes, the readers' representative, and Tom Eblen, general manager and news adviser, said the original article could have been approached differently.
Why does Lori O'Toole present her opinions as that of the Kansan? Are she and others using the power of the press to mispresent the issues in favor of themselves, instead of admitting that coverage of minority issues has been unfair?
O'Toolle used the opinion page to respond to an issue that she and others at the Kansan have publicly stated "could have been covered differently." Yet in the same breath she stated that the letters need to stop going back and forth.
Bates is a Chicago sophomore in psychology and human development and family life, and the president of Black Student Union. Lucas is a Kansas City, Mo., senior in education and the co-chairwoman of the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government.
Our goal is to encourage the Kansan to represent minorities in the same manner as others represented.
It is not our responsibility to sit on the editorial board or to write opinion coulms, although we are more than happy to do so. Our responsibility is to ensure fair and just treatment from the Kansan for all students.

Letters to the editor Christianity breeds intolerance
Christina Pruitt's defense of a way of thinking important to her is admirable ("Tenets of Christianity remain relevant today," Monday). But that doesn't make her right. You really think that if "man" followed God's rules for sex, there would be no depression or heartache? I don't. For one, the two don't always have to do with sex, and I know many unhappy Christians. Many of Pruitt's assertions are just interpretations of the Bible. Anyone who knows about organized Christianity knows the Bible can be interpreted to support or disprove almost anything.
Many churches teach that Eve is the cause of original sin. Many Christians believe "wives obey your husbands" over "the model woman is strong, wise and business-minded." It's nice that Prütt wants to get away from that notion, but that makes her seem to be one of the pickers-and-choosers. She finds what she wants in the Bible and glosses over the rest. That seems rampant in Christianity and is understandable because the Bible's contradictions have been documented for centuries.
The Christian tenets that are still relevant are things that most people endorse—such as love and kindness plus one many Christians have trouble with: tolerance. Tolerance means that I, an unwed mother supporting her son, am welcomed into a community for what I can offer rather than deemed a problem. Prout made me thankful that there are so many non-Christians at KU.

Blame school for race coverage
I support both sides of the current confrontation about the coverage of minority issues in the Kansan.
On one hand, I have been critical of the racist and sexist environment in the School of Journalism for years — which is why I've been terminated. I've been critical of the media's portrayal of all marginalized groups. On the other hand, I don't believe that we should hold the student journalists of the Kansan responsible.
The deans and faculty of the school are to blame. They have created a vacuum where these issues are not discussed. That produces generations of journalists who unknowingly perpetuate problems. To accept those issues would be to accept how what they've done to me and the few minorities they
have barely tolerated fits perfectly within the history of racism in journalism.
I would have been only the third minority faculty member tenured by this school, the first tenured Hispanic and the first tenured Asian American. And you could count on one hand the number of minority faculty who have taught in this school. When you finally read about what the school has done to discredit me and my work, you'll not be surprised that there haven't been many others.
The few civil rights activists employed here have all been run off in some way. University administrators don't tolerate dissent from their employees. They have created an environment in which the victims' concerns are dismissed as rantings of people who deserve what they've gotten. So it takes a great deal of courage and conviction to stand against the attacks on your personality, character and competence.
Don't fault the student staff of the Kansas for their lack of social activism or for their apparent insensitivity to minority issues. For decades, they've been taught the kind of journalism that has laid journalism to its state of crisis. Let's work with them to help them develop their own sense of the validity of our concerns.
Mike Cuenca assistant professor of journalism
Corporatism, missiles unrelated
The main reason why Washington is concerned about a nuclear attack is that when the USSR collapsed, so did the security of Russia's intercontinental ballistic missiles. The governments of the former USSR are incapable of keeping track of their vast nuclear arsenal. Potential terrorists who seek to use these unguarded warheads probably do so for many reasons, but I sincerely doubt that any of them have to do with American liberalism.
Matthew Reeck, in his March 1 column ("National missile defense won't make world safer",) argues that the only real threat of a nuclear attack we face stems from other countries' ill will toward American corporations. Nike's low wages, he argues, anger its workers so that they support terrorist activities against the U.S. This isn't the case.
I'm not sure whether Bush's missile defense system is viable or just another starry-eyed Star Wars program. But we can look at the issue of third world wages and ask: Does this present a threat to foreign relations?
workers getting paid miserably by American companies, but no one puts these wages in perspective. What is the exchange rate between the two countries? How much does a local Indonesian baker earn?
To get employees, corporations over seas must pay a competitive wage. If businesses pay less than what a worker could make elsewhere, they will have no workers.
We've all heard about Indonesian
Some corporations strong-arm the government and people of other nations, using physical force to get what is truly slave labor. But let's not confuse this with the practice of paying the prevailing wages. We have no right to take these jobs away.

Vote in Student Senate election
This is in response to Robert Chamberlain's March 5 column ("Silly campaign tactics mit reforming Senate"). Interning this semester in Topeka, I noticed many of his concerns with Student Senate are similar to problems in Topeka. The most pressing of these seems to be students who run for Senate to build their resumes. This may be true for some, but others intend to make a difference. The same is true for those in Topeka; an occasional Senator or House member is there to add a title to his or her name. But few people would agree that abolishing state government is the answer.
This fall, a small, vocal minority believed change could happen and campaigned tirelessly for a candidate who had little or no chance of winning the election (Ralph Nader). Despite voter apathy during the election, the post-election ruckus inflamed many Americans, even those who failed to vote.
The outcry against leaders at all levels of government is one constant in our nation. There is one simple solution to the trend of leaders who are more concerned with their resumes than serving the public: Vote. If fewer than 25 percent of students vote, then those in charge are accountable only to those 25 percent.
So, this election, vote and disprove what many say about the American voting mentality. We will cross an ocean to fight a war, but we won't cross jayawk Boulevard to cast a vote. Vote, and let those in charge know you want change now.

Volunteers pass out condoms at bars
By Louise Stauffer
Kansan correspondent
Amy Swan weaves her way through the crowds at Brown Bear Brewing Company, generously passing out condoms.
Some people politely refuse, while others enthusiastically ask for more than the allotted three per person.
Swan works her way through the bar. 729 Massachusetts St., and in 10 minutes is on her way out.
Passing out condoms in downtown bars is the monthly duty of this team of volunteers from the Douglas County AIDS project. Swan heads up the program, called Downtown Outreach, as well as all other DCAP outreach programs.
Friday was Sarah Wilson's first time to participate in Downtown Outreach, but the Derby sophomore has been a DCAP volunteer for about a year.
"It's what I want to do with my life," she said.
Dylan Rassier, Sioux Falls, S.D., graduate student, participated in his first Downtown Outreach Friday, also. Like
Wilson, he has been involved with DCAP for about a year.
Both Derby and Rassier said they were a little nervous.
"I'm assuming that this kind of thing will be acceptable to people, but you never know." Rassier said.
Buck Rowland, Education Outreach Coordinator for DCAP, said that negative situations sometimes arose.
"Occasionally, you will hear an uneducated comment." Rowland said.
On Friday, Rowland gave the group tips on handling negative situations. He told them which bars to go to and explained the goal of the program.
Excitement grew as the group prepared to go. For Stephanie Paul, Livingston, Mont., senior, it was the eight outreach of the year.
"Outreaches are so much fun," she said. "People are usually open about it. I think people enjoy seeing that there are people who care and that we're doing what it takes."
The volunteers broke into two groups, each taking opposite sides of downtown. Swan, Wilson and Rassier were on team
two. They set off, each armed with a bag brimming with condoms.
The first stop was the Eighth Street Tap Room, 801 New Hampshire St., where Bart Stevens, University of Kansas graduate and customer at the bar, refused a condom.
"I think it's irrelevant," he said. "Let people get the condoms on their own accord."
Swan and Wilson went from table to table. The responses varied from embarrassed smiles to immediate refusals.
The next stop was The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. The volunteers pushed their way through the lively crowd. When Wilson offered condoms to a middle-aged man, he laughed and mentioned his marriage of 28 years.
At Tremors Night Club, 729 New Hampshire St., Wilson walked around the edge of the club.
"Thanks, you saved my life," one clubgoer said with a smile.
"No, thank you, I abstain," said a woman.
In Tremors alone, Swan and Wilson distributed about 75 condoms.
"This isn't as scary as I thought it was going to be," Wilson said on the walk to yet another bar.
Finally, the group headed to the Brown Bear. There, customer Chad Porter, KU graduate, said he supported the outreach program.
"I think it's great," he said. "People don't usually think about safe sex in a situation like this. It's a good reminder."
In the past two years, the Downtown Outreach program has distributed approximately 18,000 condoms.
"Our mission in the outreach program is not to educate, it's just to get the condoms out." Rowland said.
On the walk back to the coffee shop, Swan reflected on why she became involved with DCAP in the first place.
"I think it's one of the most important things that people need to be involved with right now," Swan said. "You see so many people who aren't well-educated about AIDS."

Big Dance offers chance at fortune
I've already combed my couch cushions, and I'm all tapped out on the plasma I can give for one month. It's time to turn to new money making ventures. Luckily, I have one final hope.
CNNSI.com has a special contest for the NCAA Tournament. If you correctly pick every game of the entire tournament you take home $10 million. Now that's a nice chunk of change.
Picking 63 games correctly can't be that hard can it? Well, actually the Monmouth Hawks have a better chance of sweeping Duke in a seven-game series than most do at picking a perfect bracket. But it's worth a shot.
For those of you filling out brackets, I'm going to try to help you by breaking down all the tough calls in the first round.
A No.1 seed has never lost to a No.16 seed and that won't change this year. Even though it happens at least once almost every year, I don't see any No.2 or No.3 seeds going down in the first round, either.
My bracket also has all the No. 4 seeds winning in the round of 64, but the rest of the first-round games require some serious attention.
After consulting a crystal ball, here's how some of the most interesting first-round games should go down:
The 6-11 game in the East is especially tough because Southern Cal has some studs. Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton has never lost a first round NCAA Tourney game though, so the Cowboys will win here.
The final game in the East has seventh-seeded Iowa battling No. 10 seed Creighton. A lot of people are hopping on the BlueJays' bandwagon, but I'm going to let my pick fly with Steve Alford and the Hawkees.
In the West I like Brigham Young to upset fifth-seeded Cincinnati in round one. In the 8-9 game, Georgia Tech takes on St. Joseph's. Did you know even though every No. 8 seed won last year in round one, the No. 9 seed has been the safer pick during the course of the last 15 years? I'll go with the odds and take No. 9-seeded St. Joe.
Wisconsin vs. Georgia State is another toughy in the 6-11 game. I flipped a Ritz Bitz on this one and it landed cheese-side up, so I'll take Wisconsin.
In the South, Fresno State coach Jerry Tarkanian will chew his way through six or seven hand towels while his 9. seed Bulldogs take on No. 8-seed Cal. It won't be enough though as the Golden Bears will advance to take on Michigan State.
Sixth-seeded Texas will knock the Temple Owls off their perch in the 6-11 game. And even though Penn State-Providence looks to be a seven-ten split, I'll take the 10th-seed Friars to beat the Nittany Lions.
The final region is the Midwest. No. 5 Syracuse vs. No. 12 Hawaii is an intriguing game, because the winner will likely play Kansas.
Syracuse is the higher seed and its tournament hopes hang on its one-eyed wonder, Preston Shumpert. The junior guard is nursing an injured eye, but his vision is clearing up and Syracuse should advance.
Hanni is a Topeka junior in broadcast journalism.
The Midwest's 6-11 game features two Catholic schools, Notre Dame and Xavier. The Irish have a huge advantage in junior forward Troy Murphy and should get by Xavier.
Finally, Wake Forest hooks up with Butler in the last of the 7 vs. 10 games. You can chalk it up to either a hunch or my childhood fascination with Mr. Belvedere, but I'm going to say, "The Butter did it" on this game: The Bulldogs will beat the Demon Deacons.
So there you have it. Those are my picks of the tricky games in the first round. You can take 'em or leave 'em, but if you win the $10 million, I at least want some help with my gas bill.

Jayhawk basketball fans ready to hit the road

Kansan sportswriter
"Dayton or Bust" wasn't quite the battle cry Kansas fans had in mind when they eyeballed the NCAA Tournament seeding projections last week, but many Kansas faithful are making do and hitting the road.
The No. 12 Jayhawks (24-6, 12-4 Big 12 Conference) squandered an opportunity to play at Kemper Arena in front of local fans when they lost to Oklahoma on Saturday in the Big 12 tournament, and Kansas coach Roy Williams said he was sorry the fans would have to trek so far to watch the team play in Dayton, Ohio.
"It would've been great for our fans if we would've played in Kansas City because they wouldn't have had to drive as far," Williams said. "Someone said that Dayton is 643 miles away from here."
Despite the distance, all 350 tickets in the Kansas allotment are sold. Some Jayhawk fans plan to hit the road tomorrow or early Friday morning to make the roughly 10-hour drive to Dayton Arena for Kansas' game against Cal State Northridge (22-9). Leawood junior David
Martin is one of those students.
He said he and five of his friends would leave Lawrence at 2 a.m. Friday and make it to Dayton in plenty of time for the 6:40 p.m. game.
"We knew we were going since we lost to Duke last year," Martin said.
"I'm really looking forward to schmoozing with people from other schools and seeing some upsets with teams that are not ours. I just want to feel like I helped the team win."
Freshman forward Bryant Nash will miss the remainder of the season after spraining his medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his right knee during Monday's practice. Williams announced the results of Nash's MRI yesterday. Nash's absence was just the latest blow to an already injury-depleted team.
Martin is no exception. Pat O'Bryan, Overland Park junior, had so much fun at the previous two NCAA Tournaments he's making his third trip to the Big Dance.
"Dayton was our fourth pick," O'Bryan said. "We didn't want to go east or west because the games were on Thursday. We just wanted Friday games." Kansas basketball note.

Quick Looks
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 14).
Your travels could lead to new hope and new challenges. Find a place where opportunities abound in March. The truth sets you free in April, and it could bring a bonus as well. Give up an old habit but not your high standards in May. Hold onto your vision of prosperity rather than your nagging doubts in June. To win in July, face whatever you like least. Support from a loved one helps. Make it clear how much you care with a promise in November. You'd like to hide out, but you get to go public in December. Chart your next course at home in February.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Help a friend solve a problem, even if it throws you off schedule. But call if it makes you late for another appointment. That person would not be amused if you didn't.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
You can make a good deal and a good impression on an important person at the same time. This could take a little planning, though. Don't go for the short-term gain.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.

KANSAS GOLF
LAFAYETTE, La. — The Kansas men's golf team shook off a dismal first day and shot a 283 in yesterday's final round of the Louisiana Classics at Oakbourne Country Club, en route to a 36-hole total of 585 and a sixth-place finish.
The second round of the tournament, scheduled to be played Monday afternoon, was canceled because of weather, making it a 36-hole event. The Jayhawks were sluggish in Monday's first round, shooting a 302, and were tied for 11th place heading into yesterday's final round.
Senior Conrad Roberts led all Jayhawk golfers with an even-par 144 and a four-way tie for 11th place. Sophomore Chris Marshall tied for 20th with a 146 while senior Andy Stewart finished one stroke back in a tie for 26th place. Junior Casey Harbour finished with a 150, tying for 40th, and junior Travis Hurst tied for 46th at 151.
The Jayhawks are in action again on Monday and Tuesday when they travel to Aiken, S.C., to play in the Cleveland Golf Collegiate Championships at Palmetto Golf Club.

NBA
Columnist says Jordan contemplating comeback
NEW YORK — Could Michael Jordan's next big acquisition for the Washington Wizards be — Michael Jordan?
A Jordan comeback has been fueled by reports he is working out — with some saying he was spending up to six hours a day in a gym to get back into playing shape.
Citing a source identified only as being "very close to Jordan," Sports illustrated columnist Rick Reilly reported in this week's edition the former NBA great was "90 percent committed" to making a comeback next season with the Wizards.
SCORPIO
Jordan told The Washington Post on March 8 a comeback "has not crossed my mind, but I will never say never."
"The first time I said never, I ended up coming back, but I can say that there's a 99.9 percent chance that I am not coming back." he said.
He told the *Post* the main reason he had no intention of playing was he would have to sell his interest in the Wizards, which he does not want to do. He owns between 5 percent and 10 percent of the team, with the option of owning up to 20 percent.
He acknowledged to the *Post* he had been working out, but only because he was up to 240 pounds and wanted to "get back to a respectable weight to help me get back into my suit."
Jordan, who last played in 1998, did not return a telephone call yesterday from The Associated Press.
Wild pitch causes tussle in spring training match
VERO BEACH, Fla. — Brian Jordan,
upset at being hit by another spring-
training pitch from Kevin Brown,
grabbed the Los Angeles ace around
the collar outside the Attanta club-
house and set off a wild scene during
yesterday's game.
MLB
A policeman helped break up the tussle before it escalated into a full-scale brawl. There were no injuries, only bruised feelings.
"No punches were thrown, none were intended to be thrown," Jordan said. "You can only get hit so many times before you take offance at it."
The confrontation occurred before the fifth inning, far down the right-field corner and out of sight for most fans at tiny Holman Stadium. Jordan, the Braves' left outfielder, was nailed on the left forearm in the first inning on a
1-2 pitch with no outs and a runner on board. Jordan was forced to leave the game and went for treatment in the braves' locker room.

Brown exited after four innings, and his walk to the clubhouse
took him past where Jordan was standing.

after signing new punter
KANASS CITY, Mo. — Less than a week after signing unrestricted free agent punter Dan Stryzinski, the Kansas City Chiefs have waved punter and kickoff specialist Todd Sauberbrun.
Sauerbrun signed with the Chiefs last year. Before joining the team, he was an unrestricted free agent in Chicago, where he spent five years with the Bears.
Chiefs coach Dick Vermille said kicker Todd Peterson would assume kickoff duties "if the season began tomorrow," according to the team's Web site.

The Coyotes also acquired defenseman Todd Simpson from the Florida Panthers for a second-round draft pick in another move made before yesterday afternoon's NHL trade deadline.
"All of us in the Coyotes organization feel that we're much better prepared to make a run for a playoff spot down the homestretch," Phoenix general manager Cliff Fletcher said.
The Blues said Tkachuk would join the team tonight at Minnesota.

Battier tops All-America squad
Tinsley named to second team
The Associated Press
Duke teammates Shane Battier and Jason Williams and North Carolina's Joseph Forte were the top vote-getters on the Associated Press All-America team announced yesterday. It was only the second time three players from the same conference made the first team.
Notre Dame's Troy Murphy, the 4th player to repeat as an All-American, and Casey Jacobsen, Stanford's first first-team selection, also were chosen by the national media panel.
The national defensive player the last two seasons, Battier averaged 19.5 points and 6.9 rebounds in leading Duke, which was No.1 in the final regular-season poll for a the third straight season. Previously, only UCLA had been No.1 three years running, from 1971-73.
Battier, the only senior on the All-America team, was one vote shy of being a unanimous selection. The 6-foot-8 forward was on 70 first-team ballots and had 353 points in the 5-3-1 voting system.
Battier, a second-team All America last season, and Williams, a 6-2 sophomore who averaged 20.8
points, 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals, are the eighth pair of teammates to be selected for the first team.
Forte, a 6-4 sophomore who was chosen co-player of the year in the Atlantic Coast Conference with Battier, averaged 21.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.0 steals for the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels finished tied for the ACC regular-season title with Duke, but then lost to the Blue Devils in the tournament championship game.
The only other time three players from one conference were first-team selections was in 1995-96 when the Big East had Ray Allen of Connecticut, Allen Iverson of Georgetown and Kerry Kittles of Villanova.
"Knowing it'is only the second time three players in one league have made the team shows people what a great league the ACC is," Forte said. "It is incredible that of all the schools in the country that play ball, three All-Americans play only 10 minutes apart. It was fun competing against them this year."
Williams and Forte both received 61 first-team votes with Williams getting 335 points. Forte had 332.
Murphy, a 6-10 junior who averaged 22.0 points and 9.2 rebounds in leading the Fighting Irish to their first NCAA tournament since 1990, had 55 first-team votes and 312 points. He is the first repeat selec-
since since Raef LaFrentz of Kansas in 1997-98.
Jacobsen, the third sophomore on the first team, received 35 first-team votes and 259 points after averaging 18.0 points and 4.0 rebounds. He shot 47 percent from a 3-point range as the Cardinal won the Pac-10 Conference and finished as the only Division I team with less than four losses.
Jacobsen is the first Stanford player to be chosen for the first team since the AP started selecting an All-America team in 1948.
The last time teammates were chosen for the first team was 1997-98 when both LaFrentz and Paul Pierce of Kansas and Mike Bibby and Miles Simon of Arizona were selected.
Iowa State senior Jaamaal Tinsley led the second team and was joined by juniors Michael Bradley of Villanova and TaysaHunce Prince of Kentucky and sophomores Troy Bell of Boston College and Jason Richardson of Michigan State.
The third team was senior Charlie Bell of Michigan State, junior Michael Wright of Arizona, Udonis Haslem of Florida and Kirk Haston of Indiana and sophomore Frank Williams of Illinois.
Murphy and Battier were the only players from last year's three teams to return this season.

Jayhawks blow out Flames
Kansas pummels Illinois-Chicago in 24-2 mauling

The Kansas baseball team broke season highs in runs and hits yesterday in 24-2 victory against Illinois-Chicago at Hoglund Ballpark.

Senior outfielder Jesse Gremminger paced the Jayhawks with four of the team's 19 hits, including a three-run homer. Gremminger said yesterday's victory showed Kansas still possessed a killer instinct.
"All year long we've been scoring runs, but we haven't been able to shut the door on teams," Gremminger said. "We haven't continued to pile on runs earlier in the year, but today we showed that we can do that."
Illinois-Chicago grabbed the lead in the first inning on Chuck Peters' RBI single. After the top of the first inning, the Jayhawks scored in every inning and battered three Flames pitchers.
Junior infielder Ryan Klocksien and sophomore outfielder Jason Appuhn both hit two-run singles in the bottom of the first, capping Kansas' eight-run inning. The Jayhawks then scored a single run in the second inning before exploding for seven runs in the third
inning. Freshman Matt Tribble smacked his first collegiate home run, a three-run shot off the scoreboard in right field.
Kansas added two runs in the fourth and three runs in both the fifth and sixth innings. Klocksien finished the day 4-for-6 with three RBI and three runs scored. Klocksien entered today batting .224 on the season, after hitting .351 a year ago.
"Today's a confidence booster." Klucksen said. "I've been working hard lately, and today I had two hard hits."
The Jayhawks and Flames will meet in a doubleheader today beginning at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.

Sheffield extends apology to Dodger teammates
VERO BEACH, Fla. — Gary Sheffield stood in the middle of a silent clubhouse, all eyes on him.
Having already apologized to the Dogders' front office and fans, the star outfielder faced the truly hard part yesterday: He had to tell his Los Angeles teammates he was sorry for causing so much commotion this spring.
The Associated Press
So for about 30 minutes and closed doors, Sheffield spoke—and listened.
"There was a lot of give-and-take," Dodgers manager Jim Tracy said. "His teammates had a right to do that, to see where we stand."
Said Sheffield, "I just said what was in my heart. I told them that the important thing was the team, and that I wanted to be a part of it."
Before spring training, Sheffield asked for a contract extension or a trade. The Dodgers would not rework his deal, and Sheffield called Dodgers chairman Bob Daly alar.
Sheffield, 32, still has three years remaining on his contract, worth $30 million, plus an $11 million club option for 204. He hit .325 with 43 home runs and 109 RBIs last season.
After listing teams he wanted to play for, Sheffield abruptly dropped his trade request Saturday.
it remains to be seen, however,
whether the six-time All-Star will be
While Daly personally accepted an apology from Sheffield during Monday night's exhibition game against the New York Mets, the executive did not offer any guarantee to the slugger he wouldn't be traded.
The Mets, New York Yankees and Cincinnati were said to be talking about possible deals for Sheffield.
Sheffield spoke to his teammates prior to a 7-3 victory against Atlanta. Booed before every at-bat, he went 1-for-2, scored an run and stole a base.
A day earlier, Sheffield fired Jim Neader and hired Scott Boras as his new agent.
Also Monday, Sheffield read from a hand-written statement, saying he intended to honor his contract and adding, "I owed the LA Dogger fans an apology. Iowethem greatperformance this year."
Even with Sheffield's apologies, the Dodgers realize he'll keep hearing it from the fans.
"Weknowhe's going to get booed," outfielder Marquis Grissom said. "He's going to get the heat."
"What he did today was tough. Him being man enough to admit he was wrong, that was the biggest thing," he said. "He wants to curb it back and get back to being a baseball player. You could see it in his eyes."

Story of deception told in FX's Hell
By David Dishneau The Associated Press
BURKITTSVILLE, Md. — The Navy was like family to Lt. j.g. Dan Meyer — until he felt betrayed.
The real-life Meyer left the Navy in 1991s, unable to reconcile his duty to protect subordinates with the military code of blind loyalty.
41 feel that was a horrible disservice to the 47 sailors, including Clay Hartwig, who gave their lives in service to this country," Meyer said.
A Glimpse of Hell, airing Sunday at 7 p.m. on cable's FX, focuses on the relationship between Meyer, played by Robert Sean Leonard, and ship Capt. Fred Moosally (James Caan), who demands loyalty above all. After reading the Navy's initial report on the explosion, Moosally tells Meyer: "That is the Navy's position. Therefore it is mine and it is yours."
He now agrees with the Navy that the cause of the Iowa explosion will never be known since all the eyewitnesses are dead and some of the evidence was tossed overboard.
The son of a submarine commander, Meyer said the Navy "was like a family firm, and when you see those kinds of decisions made, the betrayal was pretty clear."
Director Mikael Salomon (Hard Rain) calls A Glimpse of Hell a morality tale that parallels a recent Navy disaster, the collision between the submarine USS Greeneville and a Japanese fishing boat off the coast of Hawaii that killed nine people.
BURKITTSVILLE, Md. — The Navy was like family to Lt. j.d. Gan Deyer — until he felt betrayed.
He was the main battery officer aboard the battleship USS Iowa during Caribbean training exercises April 19, 1989, when an explosion ripped through one of the ship's gun turrets, killing 47 sailors. The Navy initially blamed one of the dead seamen, Clayton Hartwig, suggesting he deliberately detonated the gunpowder in a suicide resulting from a homosexual affair with another crew member.
Meyer believed the explosion was accidental. He stood by that theory, despite being viewed as disloyal, until a congressional probe forced the Navy to revise its findings and apologize to Hartwig's family $2_{1/2}$ years later.
"They should come clean and immediately put everything on the table. I think in the long run, it certainly pays to tell the truth," Salomon said.

Michigan coach asked to resign
Pitino mentioned as possible candidate
The Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Brian Ellerbe will not return as Michigan's basketball coach after being asked to resign by the school's athletic director
Ellerbe just finished his fourth year as coach of the Wolverines
MICHIGAN
Athletic director Bill Martin said yesterday he did not see sufficient improvement in a program once among the sport's elite.
Michigan went 10-18 this season and 4-10 in the Big Ten, closing the year with an 62-80 loss to Penn State in the Big Ten tournament. Ellerbe was 62-60 during his stay at Michigan.
"The program and the student-athletes did not make progress over this year," Martin said at an afternoon news conference.
Martin said he asked Ellerbe to resign Sunday. Michigan will have to pay Ellerbe about $450,000 for the remaining three years on his contract.
"In the end, my decision was based on the fact that I did not see the improvement in the program over the past four years that I hoped for and that I believe is possible." he added. "I believe it is in the best interests of our student-athletes and the basketball program as a whole to have new leadership at this time."
"Brian took over this team in the midst of some trying times, and we all realize the challenges he has faced," Martin said. "I considered this during my evaluation of the team.
Martin said he would create a small committee of former and current players and staff to help evaluate coaching candidates.
Ellerbe said he ran the program with "integrity," and he expressed his thanks for the opportunity.
Martin said he might contact Rick Pitino, who led Kentucky to the 1996 national championship and recently left as coach and president of the
Boston Celtics.
Michigan's fan base went from apa-
thetic to angry and shouted, "Fire
Ellerbe," among other things, during
games at Crisler Arena this season.
Newspaper columnists have written
it was time for him to be fired.
Ellerbe originally was hired to be an assistant coach. But he replaced Steve Fisher, who was forced to leave amid accusations that a booster lavished money and gifts on the Wolverines.
Ellerbe avoided any bitterness — or mention of Martin.
"As for me," he said in closing, "I have tried to handle myself with dignity and class through some very challenging times. I look forward to receiving an opportunity to continue my career in a game I truly love."
Leaf reportedly on list of Cowboys' QB hopefuls
The Associated Press
DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys are still searching for Troy Alkman's replacement, but they're not telling anyone who that might be.

"We are in the process of exploring a wide variety of options, as far as quarterback is concerned," Cowboys
spokesman Rich Dahlrype said yesterday. "But the club isn't going to get into any public speculation on what those options might be."
Citing anonymous sources, The Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported yesterday the Cowboys contacted Tampa Bay about obtaining troubled quarterback Ryan Leaf in a trade.
The Cowboys were believed to be offering one of several players for Tampa Bay to choose from — none of whom had major roles with the team last year. They could have claimed Leaf from San Diego for a $100 waiver fee on March 2.
Instead, the Bucs acquired Leaf, saying they wanted to take what would amount to a "free look" at the second pick in the 1989 NFL draft.
Leaf's base salary is $1.5 million this season and he will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2001 season.

Parking costs to increase
Parking department ends five-year freeze
WWW.KANSAN.COM
By Amanda Beglin
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
University parking permit prices are rising and so is the opposition from students, including J.D. Jenkins, student senator.
The parking department will increase all parking permit prices this fall, including a $15 increase for residence hall parking from $75 to $90. Event parking will increase from $6 to $10. The cost of most permits to park in the garages next to Allen Fieldhouse and the Kansas Union will increase by $50.
The increase in prices will end a five-year price freeze instituted by Chancellor Robert Hemenway and will add a projected $456,800 to the department's earnings next year.
But Jenkins, liberal arts and sciences senator, said some of the price increases were
unfair to students who were trapped by necessity.
"We have no choice but to buy a parking pass," Jenkins said. "Tuition, housing and student fees are increasing next year too, so this is just tacking on an extra fee."
"He wanted people to see that when you pay more, you get more," she said.
But Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, wanted students and faculty to understand that the new permit prices weren't created to hassle students.
Hultine said permit prices had been unchanged since 1997, when Hemenay made a commitment to freeze permit prices for five-year periods and would provide 2,000 additional campus parking spots.
"There's really no method to how we choose what we increase," Hultine said. "It's a matter of how many faculty, staff and student permits are sold. There's a different percentage increase for each permit next year."
Hultine said she understood some students' objections to the jump in permit prices.
Increasing permit prices in increments every year would be easier for students instead of the huge jump after five years, she said. Although the increase may seem extreme now, she said most students attended the University for four or five years with a constant permit price.
But this doesn't satisfy Jenkins, who said he thought the price increase for residence hall parking could have been avoided with a little recalculating.
Jenkins said that by adding a dollar to the new event parking price of $10, the residence hall prices would be considerably lower.
Hultine said increased permit prices were a necessary and eventual step in maintaining the parking department, which has to maintain at all times about 1 percent of an $11 million bond used to build the parking garage next to the Kansas Union.
"We put all our revenue from permits, meters and events toward it," Hultine said. "And the garages don't pay for themselves." — Edited by Melissa Cookey

"The University is not returning the commitment we made to them," Kelly said.
Rob Kelly, a member of the University of Kansas men's swimming team, received a round of applause last night when he addressed Student Senate.
The Naperville, Ill., senior was upset because of the recent cuts to the men's tennis and swimming and diving teams caused by a budget crisis in the Athletics Department. He asked Senate for its support last night, and he got it.
Senate passed a bill establishing a fee review committee to look into the issue.
According to the bill, the money would go to KUAC's overall

operating budget, and not directly to women's and non-revenue generating sports, like men's tennis and swimming and diving.
Senate also passed a resolution supporting reinstitution of the sports.
Kelly said he was angered that the University hadn't done more to save the sports. He said the teams were working to cut their own budgets and were taking steps to raise money.
"We're going to seek out corporate sponsors as our next step," Kelly said.
The resolution also encourages the Athletics Department not to cut the sports, and suggests the department explore other avenues of raising money for the teams.
Copies of the resolution will be sent to Bob Frederick, athletics director, Pat Warren, assistant athletics director, and Chancellor Robert Hemenway.

Research takes flight
Interest in insects spurs study of moths and their reproduction
By Laurie Harrison Special to the Kansan
Catherine Loudon is studying the world's only domesticated insect the commercial silk moth
Commercial silk moths are distinctive because they only mate when they're adults, and adulthood only lasts a few days.
"If the males don't find a mate quickly, they drop dead before passing on their genes." said Loudon, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. "For these guys, the clock is seriously ticking."
For thousands of years, researchers have studied the commercial silk moth, also known as the silk worm, whose silk is actually hardened saliva spun while making its cocoon.
Catherine Loudon, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, inspects a luna moth. The moth is a close relative of the commercial silk worm moth that Loudon studies in her Haworth Hall laboratory. Her research suggests air flow affects the mating habits of the moths. Photo by Thad Allender/KANSAN
Loudon's research, funded by a five-year National Science Foundation grant, is focusing on a never-before-studied aspect of the moth — how the moths' antennae process air flow generated by flapping their wings.
She said she is interested in how air flow affects insects because of their vital role in the existence of life on earth.
"Insects are so diverse and important to our planet," Loudon said. "We're completely dependent on actions of insects for our survival."
Insects are also much more capable than humans to detect chemicals in the environment. Their heightened sense of chemical detection was another reason Loudon said she studied insects.
Insects pollinate crops, help with decomposition and eat other insects that are harmful, she said.
But she said that some insects have caused human sickness and massive crop destruction.
Loudon found that air flow is crucial to males mating and to the survival of the species. If males don't keep air flowing to their antennae, they don't find females with which to mate.
Once moths emerge from their cocoons and into adulthood, their sole purpose in life is to mate.
The female moth gives off a sex pheromone, a chemical marking her readiness for mating. A male moth's antennae detect the pheromone, but without directions to the female, the male can't find her.
She said the males must seek out the females because females wait for the males to come to them to mate. Females stand still
The male receives those directions in the air he pulls into his antennae by flapping his wings.
when they are actively releasing pheromone.
"The constant air flow is absolutely essential for these guys to find her." Loudon said.
For one of her experiments, Loudon prevented some male moths from flapping their wings while leaving other males with the ability to flap.
"The one that is able to flap always gets the girl." Loudon said.
Jun Zhang, Beijing graduate student, has worked with Loudon for almost four years. He said that she helped him with English when he arrived in the U.S. and was not completely fluent in the language.
"She's a caring professor." Zhang said.
"She always works with you. If I have any problem, I can just walk in and ask her."

KU diversity falls behind state average
By Danny Phillips
writer@kansan.com
Kansan stuff writer
The University of Kansas is a mirror of the ethnic distribution of the state — but it's the kind of mirror one would find in a carnival funnel.
The percentage of African Americans on campus during the past 10 years has remained as stagnant as the state figures, while the percentage of Hispanics at the University has increased, but at a much slower rate than Kansas numbers.
According to Census 2000 figures, the number of Hispanics of all races in Kansas almost doubled in the past decade, from 3.6 percent to 7 percent. At the University, Hispanics made up 1.6 percent of the student population in 1990, while today that percentage has only crept up to 2.3 percent.
Anissa Vitale, Hispanic American Leadership Organization treasurer, said the current percentage of Hispanics at the University didn't even hold water to the national percentage, which stands at 13 percent.
"KU still has a lot of work to do," the Shawnee senior said. "We're constantly trying to grow as the University grows."
But while the number of Asian Americans in Kansas has increased by 47 percent in the past 10 years, the University has only seen a 1 percent increase.
The one minority group that has a higher percentage at the University than the state as a whole is Asian Americans. They make up 3 percent of the campus, while statewide they represent 1.7 percent of the population.
Asian American Student Union president Hubert Chen said while increasing the number of Asians at the University wasn't really a necessity, it was always a good thing to see improvement.
In 1990, African Americans comprised 5.7 percent of the statewide population, and that percentage hasn't budged in the past 10 years. The same is true for the campus population, which has only increased by 0.2 percent.
When it comes to the University, Tanisha R. Jones, Wichita senior, said the reason there hadn't been a significant increase in Black enrollment was because the University had done very little in the way of recruitment or retention.
"In the past 10 years, there should have been some growth," she said.

Drilling offers theory on Hutchinson gas leaks
HUTCHINSON — State geologists have a new theory about how natural gas leaking from a storage cavern found its way undeemeth Hutchinson. The latest explanation comes after more core drilling along the suspected path.
Ancient tidal channels up to 300 million years old could be the conduit for the natural gas believed responsible for two January explosions in Hutchinson, said Lynn Watney, a geologist with the Kansas Geological Survey in Lawrence.

Spring Break stunt ends in student death
Michael Santiago, 19, of Wall Township, N.J., had been kept alive by artificial life support since the early Sunday morning accident.
FORT LAUDERDALE — The Rutgers University sophomore who fell from a third-floor balcony to the concrete near a beach-area hotel swimming pool died Monday evening at Broward General Medical Center.
Witnesses told police Santiago had jumped from the balcony into the pool three times before he lost his balance on the wet railing, fell to the concrete feet first, then slipped again and smacked the back of his head.
Shuttle dodges collision with NASA space tool
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The international space station and space shuttle Discovery had to dodge a menacing piece of space junk yesterday — a large tool fumbled by an astronaut earlier in the week.
NASA did not think the 10- to 15-pound hunk of metal would come back to haunt the 10 astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the two linked spacecraft. But it did — to the embarrassment of Jim
Voss, who accidentally let go of the piece during a spacewalk on Sunday.
Mission Control ordered commander James Wetherbee to fire Discovery's thrusters to move the joined spacecraft to a higher orbit. Without the maneuver, the 12-by-6-inch visicle tool would have passed a scant 200 feet beneath the complex.
A direct hit from such an object could punch a gaping hole in a spacecraft, causing immediate depressurization and killing everyone on board.
Coca-Cola alters plan marketing at schools
WASHINGTON — Coca-Cola Co. says it will change the way it markets soft drinks at schools. The company's action comes in the face of threats of broader government regulation and scientific evidence its products can lead to health problems.
The Attantabased soft drink maker said yesterday it would begin loading healthier drinks into vending machines alongside sodas, covering up giant logos and advocating nonexclusive deals between bottlers and school districts.
Cincinnati targeted for racial profiling
CINCINNATI — City police have illegally targeted and harassed Blacks for 30 years on the basis of race, a federal lawsuit filed yesterday contends.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the Cincinnati Black United Front asked for a court order to ban so-called racial profiling.
The lawsuit was filed because Cincinnati officials haven't kept their promises to end police harassment of blacks, said Alphonse Gerhardstein, a lawyer for the plaintiffs. ACLU officials said 13 Blacks had been killed in situations involving Cincinnati officers since 1995.
Japanese captain grilled regarding sub accident
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — The first impact knocked the boat of the boat toward the sky. Captain Hisao Onishi felt a shudder and heard metal screeching. From inside the bridge, he noticed his instruments were dead. Then, through a window, he saw the water rising.
Testifying before a Navy court of inquiry yesterday, Onishi described the terrifying moments after a submarine crashed into his ship last month. Onishi spoke through an interpreter before a courtroom packed with families of the Japanese victims and officers of the USS Greeneville.
Foot-and-mouth disease prompts U.S. ban on meat
The Ehime Maru, carrying 20 crew, 13 teens and two teachers, was on a voyage to teach high school students commercial fishing when the submarine surfaced beneath it. Nine people, including four students, were lost at sea.
WASHINGTON — A U.S. ban on imports of livestock and fresh meat was expanded to all 15 countries of the European Union after a case of foot-and-mouth disease was found on a farm in France.
The ban, which also applies to unpasteurized dairy products, would have the biggest impact on imports of pork from the Netherlands and Denmark. Imports of beef from the European Union already were banned because of mad cow disease.
Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said the ban should present few problems for U.S. consumers.
Poll shows Bush popular not necessarily his policies
WASHINGTON — More than half of Americans generally approve of the job President Bush is doing and agree with his plans for the budget surplus, said a new poll. That support tends to slip away, however, when they're asked more specific questions on his proposals.
The proposals range from the faimess of his tax cut to the approval of drilling for oil and gas in the Arctic to the idea of giving government money to less mainstream religious groups, according to the CBS-New York Times poll. The poll highlights public opinion trends that Americans tend to like Bush better than they like some of his policies.

Meanwhile, about 1,000 supporters rallied outside the presidential palace.

Series touts ancient women
Portraits of powerful feminine figures existed even during the seventh century B.C. — a time when male poet Semionides compared women to doveks and monkeys.
By Danny Phillips
writer.kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Classics instructor Jean Valk examined the symbols and similarities of powerful women in the ancient world, both real and fictional, yesterday afternoon during the second installment of the Multicultural Resource Center's Coffee Break series.
Valk said Semonides" "diatribe on women" was in part a representative view of women during that time, but he was also a satirist trying to make a joke.
women," Valk said.
But not all ancient authors viewed women in a negative light.
She called Penelope, one of Homer's Odyssey characters, the "earliest portrait of a single mother."
"She has to be one of the strongest women ever shown," said Valk, who cited the character's ability to raise a son while her husband was away at war for years.
Antigone, written by Sophocles in the fifth century B.C., was a "righteously rebellious heroin." She defied leaders and her own family to bury
her brother's body and she committed suicide rather than give in to others' demands, Valk said.
A more complicated character, Euripides' Medea, killed her children and ran away from her husband.
"And yet she's still a portrait of power." Valk said.
"She murdered her wav into our consciousness."
But a woman in ancient times didn't have to be fictional to be powerful...
A real-life example is the poet Sappho, who was born on the island of Lesbos around the same time Semionides lived, Valk said.
Sappho wrote with "extreme burning passion" about younger women and invented verse meters that were similar to modern song beats.
"We know her better for her sexual orientation," Valk said. Indeed, Lesbos is where the word lesbian comes from.
And even though only 700 lines of her poetry exist, Valk said the Greeks called her the tenth Muse.
"She never fails," Valk said. "There's no weak poetry, no bad writing."
Ned Robertson, Lawrence junior, said when he heard Valk was speaking about women of ancient times, he had to attend.
"It's really hard to put that stuff together," he said. And because most authors back then were men, "it's often a distorted picture."

Tax abatements spark controversy
By Erin Adamson
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
City Commission candidates are debating whether the city should offer businesses tax abatements as incentives for moving to Lawrence as the April 3 election draws near.
Tax abatements have been a divisive issue in Lawrence since American Eagle Outfitters applied for an abatement for a
ELECTION
2001
warehouse and distribution center in Lawrence. The company eventually set up in Ottawa but the Lawrence City Commission offered the abatement, which would have excused American Eagle from paying 80 percent of its taxes the first ten years it was in business in Lawrence.
Mayor Jim Henry voted to grant American Eagle the tax abatement and said the public's lack of understanding of the tax abatement process gave him the idea to create a task force on the issue.
"The tax abatement task force grew out of the controversial request for a task abatement by American Eagle," Henry said.
Supporters of tax abatements say they help bring industry to Lawrence that would not otherwise locate in the city. Even with a tax break, the company contributes money the city wouldn't have otherwise.
Opponents worry luring businesses with tax breaks brings in the wrong kinds of businesses saying the city doesn't have data to support the claim these businesses help the city in the long run.
Adam Mansfield, a City Commission candidate and manager of Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., decried the lack of public input in the process of awarding tax abatements.
He said the newly formed tax abatement task force was a good start at community involvement, but much more needed to be done.
"There's really no public input,"
Henry said it was reasonable for the city to recruit businesses to town with abatements.
Mansfield said. "There needs to be."
"You need a good mix of industrial and residential in the community," Henry said.
Mansfield and other opponents of the current tax resolution said there were alternatives to offering tax abatements and the city should consider them.
Vicki Pratt, president of Regional Economic Development Inc. in Columbia, Mo., said Columbia didn't offer tax abatements or other incentives to bring businesses to town and never had.
Pratt said businesses located in Columbia because of the quality of life and the workforce, and because the costs of operating a business in Columbia were low.
The commission was divided on the American Eagle tax abatement. Incumbent candidates Erv Hodges and Marty Kennedy voted for the abatement. Challenger Sue Hack said tax abatements necessary, but the city should hold those companies to high standards.
TAX ABATEMENTS
What's happening: Lawrence City Commission candidates are divided about whether to use tax abatements to lure new businesses to Lawrence.
What it means? Tax abatements are essentially tax breaks exempting new businesses from paying part of their taxes. Proponents say it draws in new business and boosts the economy. Opponents argue business brought in by the tax breaks don't always benefit the city in the long run.
Incumbent candidate David Dunfield voted against the abatement. Challengers Scott Bailey and Adam Mansfield have said any tax abatement the city granted should have the overwhelming support of the community, and four of the five commissioners should be required to vote in favor of the abatement.

Alternative Break provides clarity, gives meaning to college life
have spent much of my college career waiting for my moment of clarity—
waiting for my moment of clarity that longed-for instant to clue me in on why I am here and what I should do when I get out.
I have sat through lectures and discussions, pulled all-nighters and taken ill-planned road trips. I have surprised myself, disappointed myself and baffled my parents.
Yet, throughout all of these college clichés, my moment never seemed to come.
Then, this past winter break — just when I had almost given up hope — the moment came in the form of a question: "Kate, have you ever been in a tornado?"
Although I had to answer no, the question made me realize I wanted to teach.
The person who asked this question was Irving Mendoza, a member of Carlos Arbolde's sixth grade humanities class.
Prairie
I spent five days at Arboleda's classroom in Tertulia, a bilingual charter school in Phoenix, where I went as part of an Alternative Winter Break trip. Irving was one of the many people I met on that trip whom I will never forget.
Prior to my trip, I had a vague notion that I wanted to work with children someday. But my week in Tertulla turned this somewhat soft idea into a concrete one.
Kate Williams

online@kansan.com
During recess we swapped broken-bone stories, and during class I tried to convince him that single words do not form complete sentences.
Arboleda was unlike any teacher I had ever seen. His classroom was decorated with posters of Bob Marley and once, to better explain 18th century poetry, he paralleled it with freestyle rhyming. I learned from one student that Arboleda was teaching kids to skateboard and planning a field trip to the skate park.
In 10 years, if those kids are asked who some of their biggest influences were, I would bet Arboleda will be at the top of many lists.
I would have never had the opportunity to meet Arboleda — or any kid such as Irving — if I had not gone on an Alternative Break.
I understand some people are skeptical of the breaks. They may sound like a trip of do-gooding and guilt-alleviating. But Alternative Breaks are a week or weekend of learning, getting bowled over by new ideas and being forced out of the Mount Oread comfort zone.
I wish every student would take advantage of the opportunities available to them through Alternative Breaks and similar programs at least once while at the University of Kansas. Chances are, the experience would bring them closer to that "moment of clarity" than ever before.
The big impact of my Alternative Break trip was not made by me, but made on me. Irving may not remember me — I have never been in a tornado and am therefore nothing remarkable.
However, I will always remember that he wore a bright yellow jacket and that his hair stood up in the back. I will always remember that Arboleda treated his students with respect and got theirs in return.
Alternative Breaks' motto is not "Save the world in one simple week." It is "Creating life-long links between students and service." This seems right.
Thank you, Tertulia and Alternative Breaks — not only for giving me my moment, but for also creating a lifelong link.

Perspective
Open minds must prevail to resolve race conflict
Members of the Black Student Union discussed the Kansan's multicultural coverage with editors from the paper Monday afternoon on KJHK's "Alternative Radio."
As I listened, I decided this will be my last column on the issue — knock on the proverbial wood.
It's time to take the controversy out of the public forum.
"Flight fails to derail minority conference" was the article that ran on the Kansan's front page a few weeks ago. Since then, little has been accomplished, and an already-delicate relationship between
Leita Schultes readers'
representative opinion@kansan.com
African-American students and the Kansan has been bruised.
Both groups have stubbornly refused to budge from their positions. Those positions have become predictable, and their comments have become rhetorical.
It's time the issue stopped being on the radio and in the paper. Such mediums only cause individuals to feel as if they need to represent their "side" and back up previous statements.
But so far, those goals have not been reached. Instead, animosity has developed and gaps between opposing viewpoints have only grown wider.
Both sides say the hope is understanding and compromising — that good things can come out of the situation.
But by taking the issue out of the public eye, I am not saying dialogue about the Kansan's multicultural coverage needs to stop.
Far from it.
More than a dozen people from the Kansan were in the newsroom listening to the "Alternative Radio" broadcast on Monday. When they heard things they didn't like, they grimaced or shook their heads in disgust. It was clear many of them were unable to understand the position of the Black Student Union.
Instead, each side needs to give a little. Both sides need to put themselves in the other's shoes.
And although I did not observe it, it wouldn't surprise me if African-American students reacted similarly to comments made by representatives from the Kansan.
Neither side knows where the other is coming from. And so, my challenge: People who work at the Kansan need to get out of the box that is the newsroom. I'm not just talking about editors — who are already very in touch with the University community. I'm talking about designers, copy editors, sports reporters — everybody.
I challenge them to go to a Black Student Union meeting, a Brazilian Carnival or a social gathering of Queers and Allies. I challenge them to spend an afternoon sitting in the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
And to the Black students on this campus, I challenge them to come into the newsroom and see how it works. I challenge them to get involved with campus media and be proactive in the coverage they receive, rather than just complaining about it.
Then, when both sides have exposed themselves to multiple perspectives, they need to meet and have an honest, goal-oriented, posturing-free discussion.
Until then, everybody needs to quit their well, you know — because they're not saying anything new.

Editorial
Conflicts of interest mar pardon
Lawmakers should punish Clinton for his questionable pardon of Marc Rich.
A leader is trusted to make decisions to the best of his or her ability but is also expected to work with others to make the right one.
Former President Bill Clinton should not have pardoned Marc Rich because Rich is a fugitive from justice, his former wife and defender donated huge sums of money to the Democratic Party and because a Justice Department official was involved in a conflict of interest with Rich's attorney.
Nearly two months later, top U.S. lawmakers now are reviewing the pardon. Clinton must be reprimanded for this ethically questionable decision.
The pardon was granted Jan. 20 during the last hours of Clinton's term and stands out as the most controversial pardon of the more than 100 he granted. Rich, a billionaire who left the United States in 1983 just before he was to be indicted on charges of fraud, evaded more than $48 million in taxes and participated in illegal oil deals with Iran. He has lived in Switzerland for 17 years, avoiding U.S. prosecutors.
Denise Rich, Marc Rich's ex-wife, pressed Clinton to grant the pardon. In the past decade, Denise Rich has given more than $1 million to the Clinton Presidential Library fund. These donations raise serious questions about Clinton's motivation when he partoned Marc Rich.
And that isn't the only conflict. Marc Rich's attorney is former Clinton White House counsel Jack Quinn. He lobbied former deputy attorney general Eric Holder, the second highest ranking member of Clinton's Justice Department (which reviews pardons and gives an opinion on them), to support the pardon.
That is yet another conflict of interest between people responsible for making the right decision about the pardon.
At best, this pardon is a poor decision; at worst, it is the buying and selling of a U.S. president at the expense of justice. All leaders should be held to a high ethical standard, and in the face of a conflict of interest, they should exercise extra caution.

About the retake rule: Why should it only apply to the first 60 hours? As a senior, I went through a divorce and flunked a class. Is that less traumatic than transitioning to live on my own? I don't think so.
I'm so bogged down on work, I can't even concentrate on the amount of fun I'll be having next week.
I just took the midterm for *Calculus II*, and I wanted to say that it was way too hard for the little time we had to do it.

The Black Student Union is the most racially discriminatory group on campus. They automatically assume that all Whites are the same, and they always say that all Whites are prejudice. It seems to me that they're the ones discrimination by saying every White is against them.
O'Toole, I read your comment in the Lawrence Journal-World. You say the reason for the protest is the long-term tension. Do me a favor and refrain from hissing that we were oppressed for 400 years and come out and say it.

I don't think the Kansan is a recist newspaper. I think it's a newspaper run by tree huggers for tree huggers.

Men's college tournament basketball time is the greatest time of the year. Nothing comes even close. Clear the calendars; this is it.
The all-arts card I bought at enrollment is possibly the worst thing I've ever bought.
It's so clear to me that the women's soccer team is the best sports team on campus. They should play all their games in Memorial Stadium.

I think "apathetic" is one of the best words ever.
I thought it was ridiculous that I had five midterms and two papers this week. I don't know who scheduled that one. And I'd like to say that KU is going to win the whole thing this year. Peace.
You guys only published about the hall director being involved in a fight because you want to perpetuate the image that hall directors are violent thugs. You didn't talk about all the positive things that happened because of the intramural basketball game.

I think it's appalling that there's actually an article in the paper bashing the football team. That's ridiculous.
If I was a KU football player and had to practice for three hours a day, I'd still have the respect not to cut in line at Mrs. E's.

Pitino considering coaching at Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Rick Pittoin wants his next job coaching to be his last, and Louisville is the only job he's looking at.
The former Kentucky and Boston Celtics coach visited with retired Hall of Fame coach Denny Crum and toured the Louisville campus yesterday with his 18-year-old son, Richard.
Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich, who met with Pitino in Miami last weekend, has said Petitno was the only candidate for the job.
"II'm really not thinking about any other jobs," Pitino said, "I have to take my time and make sure I'm making the right move, but it isn't because of other job openings; that's not the case at all."
Pitino didn't say when he would decide his future, but denied yesterday he was biding his time to see what other jobs opened. Michigan athletic director Bill Martin said he wanted to talk to Pitino after firing Brian E尔伯be on Tuesday.
Pitino flew to Louisville on Tuesday night from Dayton, Ohio, where he worked as a television analyst in the NCAA tournament play-in game. He will work for CBS through the Final Four and has said he would not accept a coaching job until next week, at the earliest.
NBA
Orlando's McGrady suspended for fighting
CLEVELAND — Orlando's Tracy McGrady was suspended for two games without pay and fined $10,000 yesterday by the NBA for hitting Sacramento's Bobby Jackson in the face with a ball and fighting with the Kings' guard.
Jackson and teammates Vlade Divac, Art Long and Scot Pollard, a former Kansas player, were suspended one game for leaving the Kings' bench during the altercation. McCarthy
McGrady began serving his suspension last night when the Magic played the Cavaliers. "I was surprised it was two (games)." Magic coach Doc Rivers said. "I assumed it would be one. I told Tracy that, too. Obviously.

Pollard: Former Jayhawk suspended for leaving bench

this is not good for our team.
McGrady, who is not allowed to be at the arena while he is suspended,
will also miss the Magic's game tomorrow against Vancouver but will return in time to face the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
With McGrady making $9.6 million this season, the suspension will cost him more than $200,000.
Jackson was suspended for one game and fined $7,500 for showing McGrady and fighting in the final seconds of Orlando's 114-108 overtime loss Tuesday night.

Vikings release tackle to clear up salary cap
MINNEAPOLIS — Tackle Todd Steussie, one of the anchors of Minnesota's offensive line since 1994, was released by the Vikings yesterday to make room under the salary cap.
players who have been released for cap reasons this season, including John Randle, the Vikings' long-time defensive line stalwart, who signed with Seattle.
Steussew was named to the Pro Bowl in 1998. The first round draft pick out of Cal in 1994 had played in 111 games for the Vikings. He joins a long list of prominent NFL
"Releasing Todd was not our first option," Vikings coach Dennis Green said. "We did all we could, given our economic situation under the salary cap, to sign Todd to an extension. After exploring all our options, this was a tough decision we felt we had to make."
The team faced a 3 p.m. deadline yesterday to release him and avoid paving a $1 million roster bonus.
Steussie would have counted more than $7 million against the Vikings' 2001 salary cap.
Calgary fires coach, hires replacement
NHL
CALGARY, Alberta — Don Hay was fired as coach of the Calgary Flames yesterday and replaced with Greg Gilbert.
"I didn't feel we were playing to our potential or capabilities, individually or collectively." Flames general manager Craig Button said. "I didn't see it changing, and I didn't think we would move forward as a hockey club. It was a difficult decision, but one I felt had to be made."
Gilbert was scheduled to be behind the bench last night when the Flames played the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Gilbert was originally hired as an assistant with the Flames on Aug. 11, 2000. Gilbert will continue to be supported by current assistant coaches Brad McCrimmon and Rob Cookson as well as Skrudland.
The Flames entered their game against the Blue Jackets with a 23-28-13-4 record — 12th in the Western Conference.

'Hawks must make it past second round to win respect
When the NCAA announces tournament brackets, plenty of athletes, coaches and fans have complaints.
This year, no one at the University of Kansas really seemed mad about the Jayhawks getting a No. 4 seed. It seems unfair No. 14-ranked Mississippi got a No. 3 seed in the same region when No. 12-ranked Kansas may have been a little more deserving, but it's hard to complain.
After all, the Jayhawks could have easily secured a three seed with a victory against Oklahoma in the Big 12 Conference tournament semifinals, which was in their grasp until the final seconds of the game.
My complaint is with ESPN2.
I confess, it's my fault I watched the entire two-and-a-half hours of tournament analysis, but I was not happy with what I saw.
And the Jayhawks should be angry as well.
One of ESPN2's tournament tips was to pick the Jayhawks in the first round, in which they have won 17 straight, but to be wary in the second round, in which they have lost three straight.
Does it bother anyone else that Kansas has been perceived as the joke of the NCAA tournament?
First of all, the Jayhawks have not been losing to teams like Rhode Island every postseason, as they did three years ago. Last year, they were a No. 8 seed and lost to No.1 Duke, a team with more talent. Still, the game went into overtime. The same thing happened the year before against Kentucky. The Jayhawks were the underdog, and can't really be faulted for those losses.
The next ESPN2 bracket tip involved picking North Carolina or Duke to reach the Final Four because at least one has been there 12 times in the last 13 years.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could be mentioned in a tip like that? Why is it that outside the Midwest, Kansas basketball isn't mentioned in the same breath as Duke and North Carolina? The Jayhawks have had talented players and good coaching but no big victories.
So after my anger cooled, I decided to help the Jayhawks solve this situation. Like hundreds of other students on this campus, I tried to determine why the Jayhawks can't win the big game.
One constant factor in the last few years' embarrassments is coaching. Is Roy part of the problem?
I saw an interview with Williams a while ago in which he said it wasn't his job to get his players ready for the big games. Then what is his job?

These are kids, not professionals making millions of dollars. They have worries the rest of us have, and the majority won't go on to play at a professional level. They need help mentally preparing for these situations.
This was evident when sophomore forward Drew Gooden went to the free-throw line with 28 seconds remaining in the Big 12 Tournament semifinal against Oklahoma, with the Jayhawks behind by two. The 65-percent free-throw shooter made only one of two.
That's largely a mental problem. Why can't Roy get the Jayhawks' top player ready to make two free throws when the big game is on the line? Games are often won on the free-throw line, and that's something all of them, especially chronically poor free-throw shooter Kenny Gregory, need to be prepared for.
It's not that the Jayhawks don't have talent. In 1998, the year they lost to Rhode Island, Kansas sported names like Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce, players thriving in the NBA.
But in the last few years, Kansas has played like it had nothing to prove. The Jayhawks take the court like they left their heart in Kansas.
Time to re-evaluate that thinking, guys. You do have something to prove. It's time to gain back that national respect and silence all those tournament jokes.
Taming the taunting
Fans could face stiffer fines for abusing game officials
By Sarah Warren sports@kanson.com Kansan sportwriter
Brian Cooper says his job as a referee has been difficult since he began calling games at age 15 in 1993. He's been yelled at, tawdied and cursed for calls he made.
"I know that every call I make is going to make 50 percent of the people mad and I've learned to accept that," said Cooper, Overland Park senior. "If they are making comments about a call, that's part of the game, but what crosses the line is when they make personal comments towards the official or threaten them."
A bill in the Kansas House of Representatives could make threatening or striking a sports official a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, said Rep. Mike O'Neal, chairman of the House iudicary committee.
"This bill could potentially double the fines," O'Neal said. "We have a general law in place for battery, but it doesn't specifically say sports officials."
Cooper, who is also an intern at Gov. Bill Graves' office, said he hadn't been punched by a spectator or coach, but he had come close.
But Cooper said the words struck him the most. Cooper, who calls baseball and basketball games for the Shawnee Mission and Blue Valley School Districts, the Great American Basketball League and the Kaw Valley League, said the number of threats fluctuated depending on the league.
"After a baseball game in 1999, the scorekeeper came up and threatened to strike me," Cooper said. "I had my mask on, so it would have hurt him a lot more than it would have hurt me."
"When I do school games, on the court the players get really intense, but they leave it on the floor," Cooper said. "But in the summer recreational leagues, they don't leave it on the floor. I've had players
come up afterward and tell me that I blew the game for them. I guess the difference is school pride."
ting
And sometimes players take extreme measures to get back at an official, he said.
"I have known refs who have been followed to Taco Bell after a game by players and threatened," Cooper said. "That's scary."
O'Neal said the current law — which carries a maximum fine of $1,000 — also protected other people on the court.
"A coach who is struck by a parent for pulling his son out of the game is protected by the same law that protects the sports official," O'Neal said. "It covers all those situations."
But if the bill is approved, it would affect only battery against officials and not the others on the court. It would include offenses such as hitting an official and possibly the threats that were taken outside the arena — something Cooper said he'd be happy to see happen.
"I think it's good because it'll give a little more protection on the field." Cooper said. "Parents and coaches get caught up in the moment of the game, so with this bill, if you strike an official it won't be
regular battery.
"If'll be bumped up a level, which will hopefully make people think before threatening an official."

'Hawks douse Flames
Baseball sweeps Illinois-Chicago
By Ryan Malashock

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas (11-9) won the opener 32 on shortstop John Nelson's leadoff home run in the bottom of the seventh innning. In the nightcap, Pete Smart threw a complete game three-hit shutout and improved his record to 5-0 on the season in Kansas' 3-0 victory.
Two senior captains proved to be the difference in the Kansas baseball team's doubleheader sweep of Illinois-Chicago at Hoghund Ballpark yesterday.
Nelson said he was just attempting to start a rally when he snacked his game-winning homer.
"I just wanted to get on base any way I could," Nelson said. "I didn't care how, but I just wanted to give somebody the chance to drive me in. Luckily for me, it went over the fence."
The Flames (3-15) began the first game by taking an early 20 lead. Mark Homco led off the first immin by singing, then stole second base
and came home on Chuck Peters' RBI single. Nelson booted Chris Kerpan's ground ball, allowing Cristi Grandisman to score.
Senior left fielder Doug Dreher's sacrifice fly got Kansas on the board in the fifth inning. Sophomore designated hitter Kevin Wheeler's RBI groundout in the sixth inning tied the game at 2,2 setting the stage for Nelson's seventh inning blast.
Junior Doug Lantz, normally Kansas's closer, won his first start of the season. Lantz pitched a complete game and Limited the Flames to two runs. one earned, on three hits.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said yesterday's opening game was an indication Illinois-Chicago was a better team than it showed the day before. Kansas blew out the Flames 24-2 on Tuesday.
Smart continued his masters on the mound in the Jayhawks' 3-0 victory in game two. Smart struck out seven in his first complete game and shutout of the season.
"I knew that they were a good ballclub and today it showed," Randall said. "They were making all of the tough plays out there. I'm proud of our team. Our offense wasn't there, but our pitching was today."
Smart said he was pleased with his cutting yesterday, but also credited
"He's fifty percent of the key to my success," Smart said. "He calls a great game, and when we're both executing games, games like today happen."
Kansas scored all of its runs in game two in the bottom of the fourth inning. Freshman first baseman Matt Tribble and sophomore center fielder Jason Appuhn each recorded RBIs in the inning, and the Jayhawks took advantage of three Flame errors.
Randall said Nelson and Smart exemplified the attitude of this year's senior captains.
his catcher, senior Brent Del Chiaro, for part of his success.
"Those guys are hard-nosed, tough
hommes," Randall said. "They play
so hard, offensively and defensively.
They lead everyone by example."
Kansas resumes action on Saturday against Michigan at 4 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.

Jayhawks hoping to heat up Dayton
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
It's not exactly freezing in Dayton, Ohio, these days — upper 40s to mid-50s — but it's still not quite what No. 12 Kansas had in mind for its NCAA Tournament location.
The Jayhawks (24-6) arrived yesterday to cloudy skies and 52-degree weather, but coach Roy Williams said he was hoping for a toastier environment.
"I've always said that I wanted to go somewhere warm, but that didn't work out, so they're sending me to a familiar place, Dayton," Williams said. "It's the third time in 10 years that I've been to Dayton, so that's fine too."
"Where you play is a good thing to t h i n k about for about 30 seconds. Then you have to turn your attention to playing basketball, and that's

Williams: thinks Kansas can do some damage
what I hope our team is going to do." he said.
Sophomore forward Nick Collison expressed personal concerns with the less-than-sunny Ohio city.
tures should be sub-40 degrees.
But Williams said he expected
his team to part the clouds and
turn up some heat of its own as
a postseason threat this weekend — despite being a No. 4 seed.
"I wanted to go to California because I have never been there before," Collison said. "But for my parents it's better if we play in the Midwest. It would have been nicer to play in Kansas City so my parents would only have to drive a few hours, but Dayton is closer than San Diego."
By game time tomorrow at 6:40 p.m., rain is expected to be falling in Dayton and tempera-
"We can do some damage from there if we play, but if we play the way we played yesterday, then we're not going to do much damage," Williams said a day after losing to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Tournament.
Senior center Eric Chenowith has never made it past the second round during his three previous trips to the Big Dance. He vowed things would be different during this, his final year.
Chenwith said he would be spending his Spring Break inside a steamy Allen Fieldhouse at practice this year instead of watching the games on TV from his couch at home.
"It would be nice to be practicing for the Sweet 16 instead," he said.
NCAA Tournament notes
Kansas' game tomorrow against Cal-State Northridge (22-9) will be the Jayhawks' seventh NCAA Tournament game in Dayton Arena. The 'Hawks are 5-1 all-time in tournament games in Dayton.
Their last appearance in Dayton was in 1995 when they beat Colgate and Western Kentucky. The lone loss was in 1992 to Texas-EI Paso.
No. 5 seed Syracuse should be at full strength for a possible meeting with the Jayhawks in the second round. Leading scorer Preston Shumpert was poked in the eye during the Orangemen's Big East semifinal loss to Pittsburgh. He missed more than half the game but is expected to be back at 100 percent by tomorrow's first-round game against Hawaii.

When Tina Lee first visited Lawrence two years ago while running a metaphysical fair, she noticed something about the Midwest some people might miss.
"I found this area to be full of spiritual-minded people," she said.
When Lee decided to leave her native California to open a metaphysical shop, Lawrence was the obvious choice for her.
Last month, she opened Psychic Palm and Tarot Reading by Tina, 1017 Massachusetts St. Lee, who has worked in the metaphysical practice for 15 years, worked for shops in California and Missouri before coming to Kansas.
In addition, Lee gives discounts to students because she said they might have a hard time paying for guidance while in college.
Her shop specializes in psychic, palm, tarot card and crystal readings. Lee also sells crystals and candles.
Lee is optimistic about her new shop because of its location on Massachusetts Street and because she didn't know of any shops in the area specializing in metaphysical practices. She is the first to own a specialty shop of this type in town, but her店 is not the only place in Lawrence with tarot card and astrological readings.
Lunaria Holistic Health Center, 1103 Massachusetts St., focuses on holistic healing, an approach involving the connections between the mind, body and spirit.
Lunaria specializes in massage therapy and acupuncture, the Chinese healing practice of placing needles into certain points throughout the body. But Anna Lunaria, the health center's owner, also performs tarot card and astrological readings.
"We actually get a lot of requests for readings," said Alexa Marmon, a massage therapist at the health center.
Lunaria usually gives a few readings a day. If she doesn't have time, she directs them to another Lawrence shop, the Good Mother Earth Alchemy Shop. 803 Vermont St.
Kerry Johnson, owner of the year-old store, offers tarot card readings, but she doesn't like to classify her shop as metaphysical.
"The name 'Alchemy shop' is used in that sense to mean magical," she said.
Johnson also said her shop was the only witchcraft and pagan shop in town. It sells magical supplies, alter tools and candles.
Emily Culp, Prairie Village sophomore, believes in psychic readings but said she didn't know of places in Lawrence that offered them.
"I have never actually had one done, but I think it's great that those types of places exist here." she said.

"Whatever the card
is, is supposed to pre-

— Edited by Jacob Roddy
With the options available in town, it may be hard to choose the right one.
Lana Guilfoyle, Lawrence senior, said there were other ways to get readings.
If someone is a good psychic reader, I think they can tell you something," she said. "Personally, I like online tarot readings."
Kacey Carlson, a tarot card reader from the Good Earth Mother Alchemy Shop, 803 Vermont St., explains tarot card readings as a method of counseling for predicting events and to suggest solutions to current problems. The pentacle, a Wiccan symbol commonly mistaken for satanic worship, represents the five elements: earth, air, fire, water and spirit, the realm in which Carlson says that magic is worked.

- Card 2 is laid on top of card 1
What's in the deck: 78 cards
22 greater arcane: The Magician, High Priestess, Empress, Emperor, Hierophant, Lovers, Chariot, Strength, Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Justice, Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, Devil, Tower, Star, Moon, Sun, Last Judgment, Fool and World.
56 lesser arcana: Four suits (wands, swords, cups and pentacles) consisting of a king, queen, knight, page, the numbers two through 10, and an ace.
Each card has a unique meaning and is interpreted differently depending on where it's placed.
How they're laid out:
One of the most popular ways to read tarot cards is by placing them in the Celtic cross.
To begin, a significator card is chosen that best represents the person. The card covering this card represents the person's general environment.
A second card, placed horizontally.
Represent theobald this person.
The third card is placed above, to indicate the person's potential or what he or she is striving for.
The fourth card, placed below, indicates what the person has to work with at the present.
A fifth card is placed on the side the significator is looking away from. This represents the past.
A sixth card, placed on the opposite side, is what the person will encounter in the present or future.
- Four cards are placed vertically on the right side of the cross. The first card signifies the person; the second, his or her house and environment; the third, hopes and fears; and the fourth, what will come.

HOROSCOPES
Thursday, March 15, 2001
Today's Birthday (March 15). It's all about career this year, and you're at the head of the class. Do what you promised in May, and reap the rewards in April. Learn how to do something new in May. In June, find something long forgotten. Go for the love, not the money, in July, and money will probably follow. Serve in September and share in October. Relax in November and push hard in December. Clean out your closets in February.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
Lies (March 2 4:19 PM) — Today is a 7.
Complications interrupt your travel plans tomorrow, so get what you need now. That goes for romance as well as errands. A connection you make now may not be available again until next week.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
An investment could take off today, but don't do anything foolish. The strategy that works now is a calculated risk that's hardly any risk at all.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
You'll be working overtime, because you're in the mood to get stuff done and get out of there. You're also making life easier for a person who wields considerable influence. That won't go unnoticed.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
A good partner could help you achieve your goals. In fact, send that person into the trenches and stay behind. The less attention you draw to yourself, the better. Don't interrupt somebody who's furthering your cause.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
You're going full speed ahead, but don't get extravagant. Something a loved one suggests is too expensive. That line of credit isn't the same as money in the bank, so be cautious.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
The activity seems revolves around your house
Are you changing things around, getting rid of the old, bringing in the new? If you're not, you should be.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
The more questions you answer, the more questions emerge. A new line of study could lead to a new line of work for you. Do something you're passionate about and money will follow.
Couple
Scorpio (Oct, 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
A lucky break could bring more treasures.
There's work involved and quick action required, so it's not a done deal. But you could win big, so do it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
You're changing so fast you hardly recognize yourself, and neither does anyone else. The changes are mostly for the better, especially if you steer the transformation.
Capriorm (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
If you can't find what you want for your home at a price you can afford, make it yourself. What you don't know how to do, you can learn. Get the book that tells you how, and go from there.
Lion
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
With a little help from you, your friends can push a project over the top. You're just the brains behind the operation, and you might provide a little financial help.
R
M
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
All it takes is a little confidence, and you could step up to the next level. The boss has the confidence already — in you. If you don't, fake it.
What feels like a lie may be closer to the truth than you realize.

Eating right can be easy

By Julie Taylor
Most of us have seen the food guide pyramid and know what we should eat. But come on — we're college students, It's hard to eat sensibly on a student's budget and schedule. Fortunately, there are always options.
You don't have to weigh your food or count calories to eat sensibly. Just try to eat natural, unprocessed foods and watch how much you eat. A lot of people tend to overeat, so keeping track of your portions can help you control the amount of calories you consume each day.
A portion of food is roughly equal to the size of your fist or the palm of your
PETER RENNER
hand. For example, a portion of meat is the size of a deck of cards, and one piece of bread is a portion of carbohydrates.
Realistically, a sandwich can be a complete meal with lean chicken or turkey, wheat bread, mustard, vegetables and a piece of fruit on
the side. It may not sound like much, but if you eat a meal like that six times a day, you're incorporating most of the basic food groups and eating sensibly.
Julie Taylor KU Fit columnist jayplay@kansan.com
Also, eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day will help accelerate your metabolism and keep your energy level stable because the food is more efficiently absorbed and processed. The benefit is that you'll feel fewer hunger pangs. Losing weight all comes down to this simple fact: you have to burn more calories each day than you consume, but not by starving yourself or overexercising.
(Not that I recommend eating six sandwiches a day — variety is good.)
It may feel like a slow process, but with proper nutrition and exercise, you'll see healthy results that will be easier to maintain throughout your lifetime.

CD REVIEWS
Soulful album a rarity in today's music scene
Greg Trooper Straight Down Rain (Eminent)
No, I haven’t heard of him either.
But based on the evidence in the 12 tracks of *Straight Down Rain*, Greg Trooper is a singer-songwriter you should get familiar with. He’s not particularly cute, doesn’t sing bubble-gum pop and doesn’t perform any duets with Carlos Santana. Instead, he has created an album (along with the able assistance of producer and backing musician Phil Madeira) of solid, catchy tunes and

you have known all your life, and Trooper sounds like he has been singing it since he was a child.
it's eloquent, simple, soulful — and a rarity in today's bubble-tum music world.
It's hard to define what kind of music is on the album, exactly. "Real Like That" is a bouncy faux-country romp, but "Trampoline" is closer to straight-
ahead, harmonic rock. Whatever one calls Trooper's music, it's always engaging. His melodic, laid-back voice combines with nimble instrumental backing to form an album that is worth listening to in its entirety.
Troop is an old hand at songwriting, having worked in Nashville for many years, but he's only released a handful of solo albums. With any luck, this won't be the last one.
Clapton vocals prove he can still groove

Eric Clapton Reptile(Reprise)
Eric Crapton Repline (Reprise)
It's hard to compete with the past when you've had such a storied career as Eric Clapton. Most of his work from the past two decades has been derided by some as lazy because it has lacked the gun-slinger mentality he displayed with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers and Cream
His new album, *Reptile*, lacks any guitar heroes but makes up for it with a laid-back groove Clapton hits with such musicians as Billy Preston, who played organ on the Beatles "Let it Be," and Andy Fainweather Low, who has been a regular in Clapton's band

one of the手握of covers, the Ray Charles blues piece "Come Back Baby."
The vocals are the most impressive aspect of the album. Clapton's singing is stunning, which is amazing considering he once claimed he couldn't sing.

Salesman stabs friend in back about haircut
BOULDER, Colo. — Instead of splitting hairs, a traveling salesman is accused of trying to split a co-worker with a pair of scissors in a dispute about the cost of a haircut.
Danny L. Johnson, 38, of Gary, Ind., is accused of stabbing 23-year-old Kevin Leonard Hicks of West Memphis, Ark., four times in the back with haircutting scissors in Johnson's hotel room.
Hicks told officers Monday that Johnson offered to cut his hair for $3, but upped the price to $7 when finished.
Johnson was held on a $25,000 bond for suspicion of attempted second-degree murder, first degree assault and third-degree assault.
Officers also arrested Hicks, who police said instigated the fight by punching Johnson in the head. He was treated and released from hospital with minor stab wounds.

Chicago thieves take off with secret service car
CHICAGO — The blue 1991
CHICAGO — The blue 1991 Oldsmobile must have looked like easy pickings when Antonio Tate spotted it parked on a South Side street early one November morning.
Tate smashed a window, hot-wired the car and roared off through the pre-dawn darkness. How could he know it would mushroom into a federal case?
Tate, 19, pleaded guilty Friday to stealing a Secret Service car plus the contents of the trunk; two bulletproof vests, a chemical bihazard suit, a gas mask and a Secret Service encryption radio.
Thomas Preyer, 23, is also accused of the theft. Preyer was arrested by police on an unrelated charge and a search turned up a Secret Service bulletproof vest.
Tate could face up to 10 months in federal prison when he is sentenced June 27.
He pointed the finger at Tate.
The chemical and biological protection suit, a bag used to carry the bulletproof vests and a Secret Service parking placard were found in a garbage can outside Preyer's home, authorities said.
City changes plans to keep eagles happy
WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Jefferson County has found the perfect site for its new middle school. The problem is that it's already occupied by two nesting eagles.
Lewis Carlson, a field supervisor for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said he was worried that the site, which is a quarter of a mile away from the nest, is too close.
The eagles have been living near Standley Lake for years, and their young seem to have become comfortable in the urban setting.
After federal wildlife experts said there might be too much disturbance for the eagles, school and city officials started considering other sites.
John Carpenter, Westminster's director of community development, said the city was willing to compromise to avoid any threat to the eagles.

Local band has lofty goals
Six Year Sophomore striving to tap potential

In a crowded room behind a fraternity house, four KU students make music together.
Besides brief discussions about improvements to the songs and what song to play, no words are spoken. Each member looks from one to the other, communicating in an unspoken language. They tell their bandmates when the break is coming, when the solo is coming, if they didn't like something, and still no words are spoken.
The fraternity house is Theta Chi, the students are Kyle Burnett, Stillwater, Okla., junior, on drums; Shaun Fortuna, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, lead singer and guitarist; Mike Combs. Stillwell sophomore, providing back up vocals and playing bass; and Drew Voegele, Overland Park sophomore, on guitar.
The music is a mix between punk and pop rock, played by the band Six Year Sophomore.
The band formed on April 20 of last year. An '80s cover band gone wrong was a driving force behind the band's first performance when they played live on KJHK last July.
"It's been interesting seeing where our sound goes from August." Fortuna said.
The sound of Six Year Sophomore has gone many places from various open-mike nights to solid gigs. The band's exposure is growing, but their goals are lofty.
Burnett said the band was looking to send their work to independent labels.
The band's manager, Rob Hayes, said 105.9 The Lazer's local music show consistently played the band
DOPE CRAFT
"The members of the band have different goals in mind. "We have an unreal amount of potential," Combs said. "We're trying to tap it."
"We've cut a primitive demo, but we need to go back and make some changes," he said.
"Local bands want to play around the local scene, but we all have stars in our eyes," Fortuna said. "We want to get out of Lawrence and get out of Kansas."
"People just don't put a lot of thought into it," he said.
"They do it to get chicks."
or get out of Lawrence and get out of Kansas.
Voegle said he just didn't like local music.
While the band looks to the future, all of the members think they have yet to write their best song. Although Fortuna and Burnett do most of the songwriting, the duo is open to suggestions.
"Someone will come up with a cool baseline or something and we all just play off each other," Burnett said. Edited by Meagan Philes
Other plans include a possible mini-tour this summer, more digs in Lawrence and a work-in-progress Web site
"We are not concerned with a certain sound," Fortuna said. "The (demo) has a lot of different harder rock, but it all goes together."

The group said they were influenced by many different bands. Combs' main influence is Ultimate Fakebook while Smashing Pumpkins is Burnett's band of choice. Voegele is a fan of Metallica and KISS, and Fortuna loves the Cars, Ultimate Fakebook, Nirvana and Weezer.

HoneyPot jams with jazz,funk
By Rob Pazell
By rob razell
jayplay@kansan.com
jayplay writer
After a day of snowboarding down the famous slopes of Breckenridge, our sore but groove-starved bodies were looking for a good time in downtown Frisco, Colo. The town seemed dead, but we were too fatigued to venture outside of it.
A flier hanging from a utility pole led us to a new musical discovery. It used such enticing words as "jazz," "funk," and more importantly, "New Orleans." Curious, we trekked down to Barkley's where HoneyPot opened its lid and presented us with a magical jam progression from the land of vooodo.
The jazz-based quintet will demonstrate its power. study out at the Jazzhaus, 926; Massachusetts St., helping tomorrow-out kids strut into Spring Break.
HoneyPot's résumé also includes a wide variety of references. They have played with toasted jambands such as The Slip, Stir-fried, Strangefolk and The Deep Banana Blackout. They have funked out with the legendary Dr. John, and have included guest drummers such as "Mean" Willie Green (Neville Brothers) and Kofi Baker (son of Ginger Baker from Cream).
Working with a wide variety of influences, HoneyPot manages to use many different sounds.
Keyboardist Joshua Gold said HoneyPot's music was tough to describe.
The origins of the band's members are as eclectic as the different elements they bring to its music. Keyboardist Joshua Gold and bassist Will Langford hail from New Orleans. Singer and horn player Monika Heidemann lived in Brazil and studied percussion and Brazilian music. Guitarist Dave Diamond played with Dave Grippo, a veteran of the Giant Country Horns, for all the Phish buffs. They are joined on drums by John Ferrera.
"If I had to put it into words, it's a groove-funk thing," Gold said. "It's got elements of a lot of things, but generally it's groove."
Gold said there were about 12 people at the Bottleneck the last time they played, which unfortunately fell on a break.
"For all intents and purposes, this is our first time in Lawrence," Gold said.

Enemy at the Gates a vivid war epic
By Clara McLellan
joyplay@kansan.com
 joyplay movie critic
Enemy at the Gates is the perfect date movie.
Its strange for a war flick to be labeled a "date" movie, but here's why: Guys will love it for its plethora of guns, and girls will love it for its plethora of Jude Law.
Enemy at the Gates isn't exactly "just another war movie," because several elements set it apart. It focuses on Russia, which we rarely see, and is based on the life a real soldier — yet nothing overwhelmingly fresh is going on. There's lots of blood and battles, patriotism and a nice love triangle tossed in.
The movie is based on the true story of a Russian sniper, Vassili Zaitsev (Law), and set in Stalingrad during World War II.
Zaitsev's talent as a markman is discovered early on in the film by Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), who produces Russian war propaganda and sees Vassili as a potential inspiration for the ravished Russian troops.
Danilov makes Vassili a national hero. When the Germans learn of this, they send their best sniper, Major Konig (Ed Harris), to kill him. Konig and Vassili spend the rest of the movie in an meticulous game of cat and mouse, each trying to bring the other down first.
As Vassili struggles with the responsibility of his hero status, he falls for Tania, a young female soldier. Their relationship is never fully developed and it almost feels a bit forced. It does, however, create conflict between the two
friends, Danilov and Vassili, as Danilov has fallen for the same girl.
Too many personal battles occur between Konig and Vassili, but sadly not enough character development. Each actor aptly fits his or her part, but their chemistry seems off. Despite the slightly more than two-hour running time, the characters never seem comfortable with each other.
Law, who received an Oscar nomination for his supporting part in The Talented Mr. Ripley, proves his ability again here, as does Fiennes. Their talent is obvious but it just doesn't play out as well here as it did in their previous films.
Jude Law plays a Russian sniper in Enemy at the Gates, based on real-life hero Vassili Zaitsev during World War II.

The supporting cast is superb, notably Harris. He is perfect for these parts, always able to skillfully construct his characters in the time allotted. Director, co-producer and
Director, co-producer and co-writer Jean-Jacques
Annaud brings to the story to the screen in epic form. Similar to some of his previous films such as *Seven Years in Tibet and The Name of the Rose*, this movie transports the viewer to a specific place and time in a vividly real fashion. But once we get
there, the screenplay and dialogue hinder the audience from being fully immersed in this story.
Enemy at the Gates is nothing that hasn't been done before—and it's been done better.
The film opens tomorrow.

Student housing delays decision on new proctor at Watkins Hall
By Cassio Furtado
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A delay in a decision on Watkins Scholarship Hall's next proctor created controversy among residents about whether it related to an ongoing lawsuit hall residents have against the University of Kansas and Bank of America.
Jennifer Scott, current Watkins proctor, said both candidates for the position — Kaliil Kupler, Salina junior, and Aidan Loveland, Lawrence junior — received phone calls from the Department of Student Housing yesterday telling them the decision, which was reached last Sunday and scheduled to be announced yesterday, would be re-evaluated and delayed.
Scott said student housing delayed the announcement because Kuiper was involved in the lawsuit.
"They're questioning her participation in the lawsuit." Scott said.
Kuiper, who has lived at Watkins since Spring 1999, said she was disappointed with student housing. She said her involvement in the lawsuit showed that she was involved with Watkins.
"I want what's best for the hall," she said.
I want what's best in the mail," she said. Kate said didn't learn any similar case in the history of the hall.
"I'm assuming they are unhappy with what was supposed to be the permanent decision," she said.
Scott said that student housing normally checked whether the nominees had violated any of the halls' policies and approved the nominees if they had no violations.
She said neither Kuiper nor Loveland had violated the hall's rules.
"The only thing is that Kaili is a participant in the lawsuit." Scott said.
The hall's selection committee's members are Scott; Zora Mulligan, scholarship hall director; Jennifer Morris, Olathe freshman; and Dan Suitor, complex director for the scholarship halls.
Scott said Suitor had expressed concern that Kuiper was involved in the hall's preservation committee and in the lawsuit against the University and Bank of America. Suitor declined to comment on the case.
"It's a personnel matter." he said.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the recommendations made by the selection committee were just a part of the input that the department received before deciding who would be the new proctor.
Stoner said he didn't know when student housewould make an announcement.
He said the decision had been delayed because he hadn't received enough input.
"the timetable has flipped a little bit," he said.
Scott said that even though most residents still didn't know about the episode, those who knew were unsatisfied with student housing's action.
"The ones who know are very upset that hous ing wants to override our decision," Scott said. Edited by Courtney Carrière.
16-year-old driver sentenced
Scott faces 30 months in correctional facility

accident Sept. 16.
Family and friends of Bland and Sean Scott, the driver who pleaded no contest two weeks ago to an involuntary manslaughter charge for the death, filled the Johnson County courtroom yesterday, forcing chairs to be removed to make room for more people to stand. It was difficult to hear the sentence over the sobbing and sniffling in the room.
A 16-year-old Shawnee boy was sentenced yesterday to 30 months in a youth correctional facility and 24 months of aftercare for the death of lifelong Lawrence resident Felicia "Lisa" Bland in a car
Before Judge Janetelle Sheldon sentenced Scott, she said she could
not replace the loss of the victim,
fulfill the community's loss or
restore Scott's life to the way it
was before the accident.
After explaining the sentence and its required aftercare conditions of community programs such as the Teen Advisory Council and the Wrong of Passage program, she told Sean that the sentence satisfied no one.
"It doesn't make me happy to sentence you, and it doesn't make the family happy to hear it," she said.
"But you did something very, very wrong, and there is a consequence." She then ordered that Scott be taken to the detention center.
Scott was driving to his girlfriend's home in Lenexa when he hit Scott. He had been drinking earlier in the day at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, 1540 Louisiana St., and the Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., with his brother, Mike, who was a pledge.
the case was "sad all around." She explained that aftercare would be like a probation, and it would include the Alcohol S.T.E.P. programs and a DUI victim panel.
She had asked for a sentence of 24 months in the youth correctional facility and reminded the judge that the state could have asked for a waiver that would have put Scott's case in the court's adult division, which could have

ever to paddle a concrete canoe.
Four young women scrambled into canoes that sat on the bank at Clinton Lake. They have to beat the sun and have only an hour and a half of sunlight left.
They grabbed paddles and seat cushions, quarreled over who would get the dirty seat cushions, threw everything into the two boats and padded into the middle of the Clinton Lake Marina as the horizon began to swallow the sun.
These four young paddlers are engineers on a mission — they want to be the best
That's right, they — along with their four male counterparts — will paddle a concrete canoe constructed by a team of about 30 KU students Saturday, April 28 at the Midwest region's American Society of Civil Engineers and MasterBuilders Concrete Canoe Competition Thursday, April 26 to April 28 in Fayetteville, Ark.
This is the 26th year for the concrete canoe team. Renee Scholz, Atchison senior and a head canoe designer, said the team was doing everything possible to make this year's canoe a winner after placing third in last year's regionals.

"There were about four or five of us that
Jen Jones, St. Louis senior and secondyear team member, said she hoped the team could regain its former glory. She said a decrease in support and participation had weakened the team, but there had been an increase in both this year.
Making a canoe is a difficult endeavor, even for the civil engineers who make up the majority of those involved in the project. Making a concrete canoe is even more difficult. Armed with the ideas gained at the national competition and a new boat-
designing program, the team has made some changes from last year's model.
"The shape is completely different from last year," Scholz said. "The whole construction process is different this year."
The team won't know for sure how this year's canoe will fare until the competition, though, because it has not practiced with it. The paddlers practice with concrete canoes from previous competitions.
At the regional competition, the team must submit a final paper, a skit, compete in five races — a sprint and a distance race for each sex and then a coed race — and

Berkeley Flats tenants mad about cable dispute
By Cynthia Malakasis
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
DuVale, Lawrence resident, received a $300 concession from Berkeley Flats, 1123 Indiana St., in exchange for termination of basic cable service, which was offered free by the complex until October 2000. But DuVale said that neither he, nor the other 30 tenants who renewed their leases in May, nor those who then signed for the first time, were made aware upon signing that basic cable would no longer be part of the rent package.
Raymond DuVale received the financial compensation he was looking for from his apartment complex, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have hard feelings.
"No tenant was told that." "DuVale said."
"You can't do that. It's not ethical."
He said that both the Lawrence Apartment Guide and the Lead Apartment Guide listed free cable as a perk offered by Berkeley Flats in their 2000 and 2001 issues.
DuVale said a Sunflower Cablevision employee knocked on his door in October and notified him that the service — which up to then had been offered free by the complex — would be terminated unless he signed a contract with
Sunflower Cablevision and paid them for cable service.
"They used cable to their solicitation for year-leases," DuVale said.
He distributed a questionnaire to other tenants, which showed that none of the tenants who had lived there before May 2000 had been notified about the change in cable service.
Whitehead said the complex had not increased the rent price upon rent renewal in May as a way to make up for the loss of free cable service to residents. She also said cable was not a necessity, and residences could choose not to have it if they could not afford it.
Not having the finances or the time to pursue the issue legally, DuVale took other steps. He formed the Berkeley Flats Tenants Association and contacted the complex rental office, asking for retroactive financial relief in exchange for the termination of free cable service from October 2000 until the termination of his lease.
DuVale and Mandy Whitehead, the general manager of the complex who has since resigned, exchanged a series of letters.

Student trainers build relationships with athletes
100
By Andrew Davies
Writer @ kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Rodney Johnson used to go to rowing practice twice a week at 6 a.m., but the Olathe senior was not a member of the rowing team.
He is one of 33 students working as athletic trainers with University teams, area high schools and clinics.
Johnson, who often rode in the boats during practice, said he enjoyed getting to know the athletes on the teams he had worked with.
"It took some time, but relationships by the end of that semester were really strong," he said.
The trainers, who usually work 20 to 30 hours a week in the training room, receive four hours of class credit but are not paid. These hours apply to 1,500 hours of clinical experience they must complete in order to take a certification exam given by the National Athletic Trainers' Association.
Lynn Bott, director of sports medicine for intercollegiate athletics, said students could take on more responsibility as they completed the classes and internships and accomplished skills in areas such as tapping, technique and rehabilitation.
Bott also said this was a time for
students to decide if they wanted a career in the field.
Student athletic trainers work with a different sport each semester.
They treat any injuries the athletes have before and after practice, stretch or tape the athletes, supervise rehabilitation and prepare water and other equipment for practice.
Larry Huff, Troy senior, is working his second season as a trainer and is working with the football team this semester.
Bott said the trainers were assigned to sports randomly, but that the program tried to give them at least one semester working with a high school and contact sport.
After practice, the student trainers give treatments and clean up the training room. They also take athletes to the doctor or hospital for more extensive treatment.
He said his favorite experience was working at Lawrence High School last spring.
"I enjoyed working at the high school because the high school students listened a little better. They respected the trainers more," he said. "And it was a good opportunity to work with limited resources."
Johnson said he liked working with the rowing team because he had more responsibility and traveled with the team more.
Athletes who work with the trainers say the trainers help keep their bodies as the season goes on. Erin Harrington, a member of the Kansas rowing team, said she appreciated the work the trainers do.
"Mostly they help us stretch and get water and ice for us," Harrington said. "They do a good job."
The student trainers usually begin working with the training staff in the fall semester of their junior year or after being admitted to the School of Education. They take four classes: organization and administration, management treatment and protocols, rehabilitation, and techniques of athletic training.

A story in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated that a parking department proposal would increase prices for event parking from $6 to $10. The proposal would increase the price of basketball parking from $6 to $10 per vehicle. The proposed increases would not go into effect until or if the chancellor approved them later this month.
A story in Tuesday's Kansan incorrectly stated that a spam e-mail was sent from Exchange coordinator Thelma Simons' account. It was sent to appear as if it came from Simons.

Student engineers enter snowmobile competition
Eight mechanical engineering students are trying to develop a more environmentally friendly snowmobile. They will travel to Jackson Hole, Wyo., Thursday to compete in events based on the engineering design of their snowmobile.
The students must present a paper, make an oral presentation and display their snowmobile for the judges.
The snowmobile also will be judged on acceleration, hill climb, handling, emissions, noise, fuel economy and cold start.
Rob Sorem, assistant professor of mechanical engineering and the faculty adviser for the group, said many national parks were closing their paths to snowmobiles because of the noise and pollution the snowmobiles produced. The project's goal is to create a cleaner, quieter snowmobile.

Southern storms kill one more than a dozen hurt
Severe storms, including at least one tornado, lashed the Florida Panhandle and southwestern Georgia early yesterday, killing one person, injuring more than a dozen others and toppling trees and mobile homes. Officials said a tornado touched down about 4 a.m. in Wausau, Fla., a rural town about 90 miles west of Tallahassee. A 59-year-old man died and his wife was critically injured when their mobile home was destroyed.

"Everything is leveled; there's trailers with nothing but the frames, vans
In southwestern Georgia, the hardest hit areas were around Whigham and Climax, neighboring towns in Grady and Decatur counties, where the storm hit about 6:30 a.m.
At least 12 structures, including mobile homes and barns, were destroyed in the two Georgia counties, said Lisa Ray, a representative for the state Emergency Management Agency.
FBI identifies remains of atheist leader, family
AUSTIN, Texas — All but solving the mystery of the 1995 disappearance of Madalyn Murray O'Hair, federal authorities confirmed yesterday that bones dug up from a ranch in January are those of the atheist leader and two family members.
Forensic scientists used medical and dental records to identify the remains of O'Hair, 76, her son Jon Garth Murray, 40, and Robin Murray O'Hair, 30, her granddaughter. A stainless steel artificial hip that was pulled from the ground was among the evidence used to identify the elder O'Hair, who had hip replacement surgery in 1988.
"This certainly gives us some closure," said Roderick Beverly, agent in charge of the FBI's San Antonio office. The family disappeared from San Antonio in 1995 along with $500,000 in gold coins. Investigators believe they were kidnapped, robbed and killed, and their bodies were cut up and dumped on a ranch near Camp Wood, about 125 miles from San Antonio.
U.S. working to prevent foot-and-mouth disease
Of the four suspects believed to have taken part in the plot, one is dead, allegedly at the hands of his partners, and three more have been convicted of various charges, including extortion. None of them have been convicted of kidnapping, and no murder charges have been filed.
U.S. troops, equipment withdrawn from Bosnia
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration is withdrawing some tanks, equipment and about 750 troops no longer needed for peacekeepers in Bosnia, and more cutbacks are possible, two U.S. officials said. A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity Wednesday, said the troop reduction was being accomplished by not replacing soldiers who have completed their tours in Bosnia, where 4,400 U.S. troops are on duty. The official described the reductions as adjustments and said they would not diminish the ability of peacekeepers in Bosnia to carry out their mission.
CHANTILLY, Va. — The Agriculture Department has increased its scrutiny of travelers arriving from Britain and other European points to keep out foot-and-mouth disease, which was eradicated from the United States in 1929. In addition to disinfecting the shoes of passengers who have been on European farms, the department also is devoting more of its inspectors and food-sniffing dogs to checking luggage from incoming European flights for contraband meat products. Foot-and-mouth disease, which spread this week from Britain to France, is harmless to humans but could be devastating to the huge U.S. livestock industry.

Wall Street's downturn
panics foreign investors
TOKYO — After watching a plunge on Wall Street, jittery investors sent markets in Asia on a wild ride yesterday as stocks fell — some sharply — then rebounded amid uncertainty over whether the U.S. slowdown is reaching global proportions. Investors in Asia woke up to news of Wednesday's sharp slide on U.S. markets, where the prospect of a global economic slowdown pushed the Dow Jones industrials down 3.08 percent to close below the key 10,000 mark. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was down 2.12 percent. Tokyo opened with a massive sell-off, shedding 3.1 percent shortly after the opening bell. Its main barometer rebounded later to end up 2.61 percent at 12,152.83 — though it remained near 16-year lows. Major stock markets were mixed at midmorning in Europe yesterday.
Military bomb accident kills 5 U.S. servicemen
RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany — The bodies of the five American servicemen and a New Zealand military officer killed in a bombing range accident in Kuwait arrived at Germany's Ramstein Air Base early yesterday. Military honors were given as the coffins arrived in the rain at the base. The bodies were taken to the nearby Landstuhl Medical Center for autopsy and formal identification, said David Roath, director of the U.S. Army Memorial Affairs Activity Europe. Three people injured in Monday's accident, in which personnel at an observation post were hit by a bomb dropped from a strike-fighter during a training exercise, have arrived for treatment at Landstuhl. One was in intensive care there Wednesday, and two more were flown in from Kuwait overnight.

Students struck by job scams
By Rachel Moluf Special to the Kansan
Don't call World Wide Express if you're looking for some quick cash.
The Better Business Bureau issued an alert saying this company, also known as Future Success International, was ripping people off.
"We've had several complaints from people in the area," said Joyce Woodard, president of the Better Business Bureau. "People have taken the bait."
The bait is a classified ad:
The boot is a classified ad:
"Would you like to staple booklets for $1,500 weekly? Average $5 to $15 per book, working at home, set your own hours, free delivery, full and part time, start immediately, no experience. Call the number listed 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. World Wide Express."
People who called were instructed to send $59.95 for the package and $15.16 for rush delivery to an address in Toronto, Woodward said. They received nothing for their money.
Anna Drakhlis, Overland Park sophomore, said if something seemed too good to be true, it probably was.
"Last year, I saw signs around campus to send in $2 and receive an ad to sell." Drakhlis said. "So I sent in my $2 and received a notice that I had to send $10 to another address, just to make sure I was really interested."
Drakhlis said she sent in $10 and received an ad and paper to make copies.
"It only cost me $12," she
said after leaving the operation. "If it had cost something like $70, I wouldn't have done it."
Janet Kleppin, director of operations for the Better Business Bureau, said most victims lost between $29 and $100 with work-at-home operations.
"Any time you're not getting what you paid for or there's just an exchange of money, it's illegal," Kleppin said.
She said most "companies" just had a catchy name and post office box.
Kleppin said the key to recognizing scams was an advertisement to get something for nothing.
To verify a work-at-home offer, call the Better Business Bureau at 785-232-0454.

There's a reason why Katie Harpstrite participates in the University's Alternative Spring Breaks each year, and it's not for the relatively inexpensive mid-semester getaway.
The Andover junior said she participated because she revealed in the opportunity to connect with people and to learn about people who live under different circumstances.
Harpstrite is preparing for her fourth Alternative Break and each time she said she came away with a new and meaningful experience. This time around she's heading to Houston to observe and help teachers in under-privileged schools.
The co-coordinator of the Alternative Spring Break program said 13 groups of eight to 10 students would travel by bus to perform community service in different cities across the country. Each student pays $170 for the trip, and the rest of
the cost is paid by various fund-raisers and grants.
Destinations range from Washington
D. C., where students will do an urban plunge by living among homeless people for two days, to Tuscan, where students
will work on trail maintenance and other environmental activities in Saguaro National Park.
Harpstrite recalled an experience she had during last year's trip to an Indian reservation in Oklahoma. Her group spent two days whittling wood to make stick-ball sticks for Native Americans on the reservation.
She said she and her group members, hands bloodied and raw from the wood, became frustrated after doing seemingly meaningless work for so long.
Harpstrite said her group's commitment to the reservation helped the students and the Native Americans connect on a personal level.
Curtis Sloan, Powhatten senior, is traveling to New York to help with sick and elderly people living in a health center. He said he wanted to interact with people from different cultures but he also was looking forward to seeing the Big Apple.
I probably seeing New York is the most exciting part because it's pretty glamorous," Sloan said.

Break offers KU parents opportunity to see family
By Michelle Ward

Kansan staff writer
Paola Hernandez's spring break plans include a special treat — relaxing with her family. Hernandez, graduate teaching assistant in Spanish, finds her days "jumpacked," leaving little time to spend with her husband, Todd, a fellow GTA in Spanish, and their 20-month-old daughter, Camila.
Many University of Kansas students have scheduled family time during the break. Students who are also parents often find a hectic schedule does not allow the quality time they want with their children. The upcoming spring break will provide a time for families to reconnect without the pressures of school.
The Hernandez family will travel to Denver for the week to spend time with Camila's grandparents. While the toddler does not understand that the family will be leaving, her mother said that she would be excited to spend time with her parents and grandparents.
"Family is the most important thing to us," Hernandez said. "This is an easier time for us to be together."
Shawna Hayes will spend the break with family, too. She will take her son, Eric, to Kansas City, Kan., to visit Shawna's mother, who can't wait to see her 2-year-old grandson. She has prepared for the visit by buying Eric numerous games and clothes, Hayes said.
"It might be more work than play," said Hayes jokingly of the visit. "I'm looking forward to the break."
Richard Hughes and his wife, a teacher in the district, are staying in town with their family during the week. Hughes, a graduate student, will "catch his breath" as he spends time with Julia, 4, and Jacob. 7 weeks.
"We have been so busy, we haven't had time to plan anything." Hughes said. "I know we will watch a lot of basketball."
Wen-Gyo Jeong, a doctoral student at the University, will celebrate an anniversary with his wife. So Young Jeong, and spend time with his son, Gene Sung Oh.
SoYoung Jeong said the family had no specific plans but wanted to spend time together.
"We will have all his friends over to play," said So-Young Jeong, who is working toward attending the University this fall.
Melissa Fast will take a few days off from work to spend time with her two children. Fast holds a full-time job while she seeks a teaching certification at the University. She wants to do something special with her children, hopefully taking them to the zoo in Topeka. She was not setting anything in stone yet, as she watched it pour outside yesterday.
"The weather will definitely have to improve before we do anything outside," she said.

Warm weather plans prompt tanning frenzy
By Sarah Smarsh
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
With spring break just around the corner, bronzeed skin is making appearances across campus. Many students are visiting tanning beds to prepare their skin tones for a week in swimming suits and for the following season of minimal clothing.
Rachel Harvey, Lawrence junior, said she had been tanning for two weeks in preparation for her spring break trip to South Padre Island, Texas.
"Tan people look more healthy," Harvey said.
Tanned students cited a preference for a "healthy glow," but warnings about the long-term effects of tanning have pervaded society for many years. Ultra-violet radiation from the sun or from tanning beds has been widely linked to skin cancer. The American Academy of Dermatology recorded more than one million diagnoses of skin cancer last year.
Janna Laing, of Ultimate Tan, 2449 Iowa St., said her number of clients had jumped from an average of 150 per day to 450 per day in recent weeks.
"They come to prepare themselves for spring break," Laing said.
Still, many students make a habit of tanning.
Laing said her tanning office attempted to educate people about the potential dangers of tanning. Ultimate Tap posts health warnings near its tanning beds and encourages customers to wear protective eye goggles while tanning.
Kristen Reynolds has a great deal of color — her face, arms and legs are a deep brown. Reynolds, Atlantic City, N.J., freshman, said she used tanning beds four to five times per week and worked as a beach lifeguard during summers.
"When I’m pale, I just feel like I look like death." Rewelds said.
Reynolds said she didn't use the eye goggles in tanning beds and only used sunscreen on her nose while working on the beach.
"I don't really think about it," said Reynolds of the health concerns surrounding tanning.
Matt Alexander, Wichita senior, said he had tanned for the last two weeks because of his spring break plans in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
“it's better not to be completely pale when you go down there,” Alexander said. “I didn't want to spend the first three days paying for burned on the first day.”
Alexander said that he thought tanning made people more attractive and that he hoped medical technology 30 years from now would take care of health problems caused by tanning.
"I'd rather be tan now and worry about that later," he said.

KU students to compete at competition in Arkansas
The team members began to meet last fall to discuss the boat's design, the concrete mix that would be used and reinforcement techniques. They also chose the eight people who would paddle the canoe, began training them before winter and obtained $5,000 for materials from Student Senate. The total cost for the project is about $12,000.
Jones said she hoped increased participation and money would result in a trip to the national competition this summer in San Diego.
She is the unofficial captain of the women's team because of her experience in last year's canoe race and for her hrist as a member of the Kansas Women's Rowing team during her sophomore year, she said.

But Jones said the only advantage rowing gave her in the concrete canoe was having previous time in a boat.
make a final display of the boat.
"Rowing doesn't really help me." Jones said. "It's like the difference between basketball and volleyball. There's a ball, but they're completely different sports."
In fact, last year she lent her brawn to the project because it seemed a little confusing. This year, however, she said that she had learned valuable organizational skills.
"Last year I was like, 'What do I do?' and i sanded stones," Jones said. "But
"The design on the computer was the hardest part," she said. "Trying to figure out what dimensions we need is tough."
Scholz estimated that the team would spend about 3,000 hours on the canoe by the time of the competition. That includes the hours spent on the water, time spent in Learned Hall at meetings, construction on the canoe and the time spent preparing a paper, display and a skit for the competition.
Designing things and writing papers about them is nothing new for engineers, but Jones said the canoe project was unique in that it gave all those involved a hands-on experience.
Mary Gillillain, Edmond, Okla., freshman, said she could handle the practice, but the hardest part of the concrete canoe experience had been in the classroom.
Jones and her team lifted weights in the winter when they couldn't be on the water and just last week went to Clinton Lake Marina to practice. The team plans to be on the water about five hours per week before the competition.
"As engineers we're always doing stuff on paper and we never get to make anything," she said. "Anything can be made on a computer but to actually make it—that's really valuable to engineers."

Apartment residents protest cable cancellation

Berkley Flats, said the management wanted to keep its residents happy and would be more than willing to talk with residents and address their concerns.
Chris Weaver, a Valentine, Neb., junior who has lived in Berkeley Flats for three years, said he had renewed his lease early in April 2000 to avoid the rent increase, but said he was not informed about the termination of free cable service.
"I didn't think it was quite fair." Weaver said. "It could have been a communication problem. I don't want to save they did it on purpose."
He said he had come back to Lawrence in August and found out that he was being billed for cable service by Sunflower Cablevision.
Weaver said he had received his $300 compensation and renewed his lease with Berkeley Flats for one more year.
Jessica Zahn, another Berkeley Flats resident, said she was not as lucky or as forgiving as Weaver.
"If they had been honest and forefront about it then I wouldn't have had a problem," she said.
Zahn, Wamego junior, said even though she had warned Berkeley Flats that she would take legal action, she had yet to receive her concession.
Zahn said that she had been told in May that the customary rent increase would not affect people who had been residents before then.
Du Vale said he still felt upset because the majority of the tenants had yet to receive a reimbursement.
"No mention whatsoever was made about the cable issue," she said.
Zahn also said that Berkeley Flats was advertising free basic cable service to new tenants even though, according to Whitehead's letters to DuVale, the complex was aware of the service change in May.
"It resolves the issue for me, but it doesn't resolve the issue for the rest of these people," he said.

Decision to cut sports disregards student-athletes
Ry now, you've probably heard the litany of arguments against the Athletics Department's decision to cut the men's
Department's decision to cut the men's swimming and tennis teams and throw more money at the football team in a far-fetched attempt to make it good someday. They're good arguments, but the Athletics Department's real crime lies not in the decision itself but in how the department made the decision.
Forget, for a moment, that most Division I football teams lose money. Forget the silliness of the glass-is-half assumption that throwing money at the football team will magically improve it despite other schools with bigger athletics budgets that are doing the same thing.
Forget that the football team's record in the past three decades is 137-189. Forget that in that
span, six coaches have arrived, each promising success, each leaving with a record under .500. Forget an already ballooning football budget that has failed to yield success and $25 million worth of stadium improvements that have failed to put fans in the stadium.
Forget all that.
Let's assume the improbable -- that cutting men's tennis and swimming and investing in the football team will yield some
future profit. Was it really necessary to ditch those two teams? Probably not.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, and other athletics officials debated for weeks ways to avoid cutting the programs, which makes their ultimate conclusion all the more disturbing.
Nathan Willis
associate opinion editor
nationian@nationan.com
"We considered raising money," Frederick said. "We considered playing a game at Arrowhead Stadium. We talked to the chancellor about some other revenue possibilities."
So it's not as if they didn't consider options. In the end, they just chose the one that was easiest and the most destructive for students
To be fair, Frederick said that asking for donations to support the teams — an option put forth by people protesting the decision last weekend — was ruled out because other schools had tried that and seen their athletic recruiting suffer as a result.
Charlie Schober, swimming coach at the University of California-Irvine and a friend of former KU swimming coach Gary Kempf, knows there are ways to save programs. Years ago, his program and others at the school were facing the budgetary ax.
He may be right that fund-raising presents a negative image of the department and its programs to recruits, but killing off programs hardly presents a more positive one. In any case, the department had more options available. It just wasn't bold enough to try them.
Rather than give up, Irvine's athletics department presented a referendum to the students to fund the school's nonrevenue sports. Students passed it, and now the swimming program and others are still alive. Schober credits his athletics director for the courage to try an uncertain option to save the programs.
Frederick dismissed the idea of having student fees pay for the sports, saying the cost would be too large for students. But shouldn't the students decide that? A referendum might pass; it might not. But at least the Athletics Department could say it tried.
Our Athletics Department has displayed no such courage. More disturbingly, it has displaced no concern for its student-athletes.
That mentality, more than anything, reveals just how far removed from the students the Athletics Department has become. It apparently feels free to jettison entire programs without trying to work with student-athletes to find another solution.
The refusal to make an effort on behalf of the students on those two teams casts off whatever remained of the guise that the Athletics Department is here to serve students, not just to make money. Of course, the department needs to support itself, and making money is not in itself a bad goal. But by making it the only goal, the department has flung off a mandate that every institution at the University should carry: to serve students and enhance each student's education. That is the purpose of the University
Instead, the department found it far easier just to chop, chop, chop. Why waste time with students who can't rake in truckloads of cash?
And that should put all the other athletes in nonrevenue sports on alert. After all, they could be next.

Drunk driver's sentence isn't final chapter in case
The family and friends of Felecia Bland got their first taste of justice yesterday.
their first taste of justice yesterday Bland, 36, died Sept. 16 on Kansas Highway 10, 15 miles east of Lawrence in Johnson County after a car driven by a drunken 16-year-old, Sean Scott, crossed the grass median and slammed into Bland's vehicle.
Bland, who was wearing her seatbelt, died at the scene. Scott, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt and had a blood alcohol level of 15 (nearly twice the legal limit for adults and nearly eight times the legal limit for minors), was ejected from his Chennai Comere and ref.
Chevrolet Camaro and suffered only a broken wrist.
Scott had come to Lawrence to visit his brother, Mike. Both drank at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house (where, Sean Scott's attorney said, Sean was coerced to take shots of rum) and the Wheel before Sean decided to drive back to Lenexa to see his girl-friend.

Understandably, Bland's husband, daughter, parents and siblings (as well as the

large group of friends she'd earned) were heartbroken. Here was a woman who committed herself to charitable causes and brightening people's lives, cut down well before her time by a series of stumd mistakes. It didn't make sense.
Scott had pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter in the court's juvenile division. After postponing hearings for several weeks, Judge Janethe Sheldon sentenced Scott to 30 months in a juvenile detention center.
Bland was a kind soul, but we can't ask her
Yesterday, the Johnson County District Court took a small step in ensuring justice was served.
what she would have wanted. She's gone forever.
I know for certain, however, that her husband and brothers were hoping for a stricter sentence.
They were understandably angry but graceful. They felt slighted by a system that seemed to give Scott — whose family owns several Kansas City-area businesses, including Zarda Brothers Dairy and Zarda Bar-BQ — ever consideration.
A little less than two months ago, I met Felecia's husband, Jim Bland, and two of her brothers. All three strained to hold back tears as we talked for more than an hour about the case against Scott and Felecia's contributions to the community. Listening to their stories, I had to hold back tears, too.
And despite his sentence, Scott will walk away the winner. After all, he could have been charged as an adult, and he could have received a sentence that would have placed him in custody for far more than 30 months. His most significant victory will be when he goes home — because Felecia Bland will never come home.
Jim Bland compiled a thick list of letters and stories about Felecia from friends, family and co-workers. I never met Felecia, but it's quite obvious her loss was devastating.
I also called for Bland's family to sue "into poverty" the fraternity members who pressured Sean to drink, as well as the employees of the Wheel, who must not have been too discriminating when they let a 16-year-old drink at the bar.
In December, I wrote a column calling for Scott to receive the maximum possible sentence. That didn't happen, but several other people share the blame for this tragedy.
My opinion stands. More than one person's idiocy and recklessness contributed to an innocent woman's untimely death. I'd advise Bland's family to vigorously pursue civil suits against these fools who helped kill her.
Scott's sentencing marks the end only to the first chapter of this sad, sorry saga. There's still a lot left to write.

Editorial Alcohol tax would benefit University
Fifty cents more for a six-pack of beer isn't too much to pay to hold tuition in line.
The Kansas Legislature is considering creating funds for education by raising taxes on alcohol and cigarettes. Although local pub owners claim the tax hikes would be too drastic, it would actually be an excellent step in relieving some of the state's education budget woes and preventing further tuition increases.
The bill, proposed by Sen. Jim Barnett, R-Emporia, would increase the price of a six-pack of beer about 50 cents and a pack of cigarettes 10 cents. These increases would result in an additional $105 in state aid per public school student — money that state educators sorely need.
Barnett also said $1 million of the revenue would go to the Regents universities, $5 million of which would be used to stabilize tuition increases.
The need for this extra revenue is apparent, as budget problems have resulted in tuition increases that have greatly exceeded the rate of inflation during the last few years, including two increases last year alone. In contrast, increases in state alcohol taxes have been held well under the rate of inflation because of heavy lobbying by the alcohol industry. In fact, according to the Lawrence Journal-World, the gallon tax on beer in Kansas has remained the same since 1977. In short, Kansas has been due for an alcohol tax increase for many years now.
Despite the fact that the proposed tax still would be low with respect to the rate of inflation, two of Lawrence's brew pub owners have actively opposed the bill, claiming it would drive alcohol sales too low for them to stay in business.
This is a fairly unlikely scenario. Alcohol sales have risen consistently statewide in the past decade, and Barnett has said that most Kansans express a strong willingness to pay more for their beer if they know the money would go toward education. He also cited a Wall Street Journal survey in which 87 percent of Americans said they would accept a 50 cent increase in the price of a six-pack of beer.
With a tax increase on alcohol long overdue and the state's education budget soley in need of more funds, Barnett's proposal is a perfect fit.

Hispanic who call in speaking for everyone in our group should speak for themselves.

Letters to the Editor Helping rich boosts the poor
This is a response to John Audleheim's strawman attack on Bush's tax cuts ("The rich must pay more in taxes to help the poor," Tuesday). I would suggest that Mr. Audleham take any economic or business class at this fine university to gain a better understanding of how capitalism really works.
In Audlehem's example there are four hypothetical people, a rich person, a poor person, a bureaust, and a bubblegum salesperson. But this example misses many key concepts that show why the Republican philosophy is right.
Republican印地语 is right.
First, he missed that the bureaucrat needs to get paid, so only half of what the rich or poor person contributes in taxes gets paid out as welfare to the poor person. That is why using the government as a form of distributive economic justice is inefficient. The poor person isn't nearly as well off as Audulehelm would have you believe.
Second. the rich person employs the poor person. The rich stay rich through investment (not by hoarding money). Taken together, the rich person, through investment, pays the poor person more than before. Now the poor person is much better off than before and has earned it.
The rich stimulate the economy through creating jobs for the poor. You will hear rich people say, "I've made a lot of money this quarter, I want to invest is in the stock market to make more money." That investment helps companies, which create jobs and pay wages that help the poor.
Phillip Holmes
Also, taxes are significant deterents to spending. If the rich person is taxed more for being rich, that decreases the amount of money that the rich person can invest. With less investment, the poor person gets paid less. Every economist would tell you that taxes are artificial restraints that suck resources out of the economy.

Students can change Lawrence
Students, understandably, feel no particular allegiance to Lawrence. Yet, in failing to exercise their right to vote, students have (by neglect) endorsed what has happened to the "cultural center" of Kansas, which is increasingly indistinguishable from hundreds of other shopping mall, "carland" communities. Students represent a potentially dominant voting block and have the power to change
Lawrence's laws to their liking.
College towns such as Berkeley, Calif,
and Ann Arbor, Mich., stand as examples of the power of student votes.
In Ann Arbor, business-oriented city council members learned their attempt to marginalize students in community life was political suicide. The right of University of Michigan students to register as "residents for voting purposes" was established by the Supreme Court of Michigan in Wilkins v. Bentley. Students promptly repealed marijuana laws, making possession of less than one ounce punishable by a $5 fine and ousting a slate of realators, bankers and businessmen.
Robert C. Casad Jr.
Lawrence resident
Lawrence is the most bicycle-unfriendly college town in the United States. This is a joke, an embarrassment and an outrage. None of this will change unless students exercise their right to vote. Even though you will shortly leave this town to pursue careers of your own in other "carland" towns, please, in the name of the ideals of youth, rise up and be counted. You have until Monday, March 19 to register to vote in this important municipal election in which the future of (what's left of Lawrence) is at stake.
Athletics should reverse cuts
Like many of my friends, former coaches and former teammates, I'm saddened and disappointed by the announcement that the University of Kansas is dropping men's swimming and diving (and men's tennis).
As a member of the women's swimming program from 1991 to 1995, a time when the men's and women's teams were integrated, I can say it was one of the best experiences of my life. The closeness between the programs was a major selling point and added to the enjoyment of the program. We had an extra 25 friends and teammates, another 25 people to cheer for and support us, another 25 people to push us harder. It made both programs better.
I'm most upset that no options were given to save men's swimming, such as alumni endowments or across-the-board scholarship cuts. I question whether you really explored every opportunity to save these programs, or whether you took an easier road and simply decided to cut two sports you thought no one cared about and didn't add any value to the University
That's incorrect on both counts. By now, the amazing level of love and dedication that Jayhawk swimmers (and Jayhawk swimming supporters) have for the program should be apparent. And although swimming may not be a
high profile, high-revenue sport, take a look at the graduation rate of swimmers through the years. Look at the GPAs KU swimmers carry, despite a difficult competitive season that spans from October to March. Look at the academic and athletic All-Americans the programs have produced. If athletics director Bob Frederick truly cares, as he purports to, about the "student" part of student-athletes at KU, then you'll find no group better balanced than the swimmers.
I urge Frederick to reconsider his decision, and find a way to save a valuable program and a terrific legacy.
KU alumna and New York City resident
Football team criticized unfairly
During the past year, the football program has been the target of attack in the Kansan through editorials, student comments and through harsh words from a faculty member. Our mistakes have been magnified, and now we are being blamed for the difficult decision of cutting sports.
For many of the players, these attacks have been painful and sometimes difficult to understand. We don't want to be portrayed as the enemy. It has never been our intention to embarrass anyone at the University of Kansas. This is our school, and we all choose to be here and represent it with pride.
As student athletes representing a high-profile sport, we do accept the fact that when we make mistakes, the whole team pays the price. We are all guilty in the eyes of some people on campus who are eager to criticize.
We can't change the past and the attitudes that have been formed. We apologize for the bad decisions by a few of our teammates. It is important that we concentrate on the future. Now, we are working harder than ever and are committed to bringing success to all fans of the University.
All we ask from those of you who take pride in this University is to give us a chance to prove this commitment
Bible is best science textbook
Harrison Hill, Mate Dwyer, Marcus Rogers 2001 football team captains
It was disheartening to read the headline "Genesis isn't science, rabbi says" (March 5). I could understand that comment coming from someone with little knowledge of the Bible or science. But that a rabbi believes the Bible is not a science book is disturbing. Science is the pursuit of facts, so here I will show facts. (The facts gathered were given to me by an unknown
Most historians agree that the first book of the Bible was written around 2000 B.C. and that with 65 more books and 40 authors, it covers a time frame of 2,500 years. The Bible is full of science ahead of its time.
author, but they are still facts).
Let's start with the first verse of the first book, Herbert Spencer, a noted scientist, said that all knowledge could be put into five categories: time, force, action, space and matter. So let's look at Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning (time), God (force) created (action) the heavens (space) and the earth (matter)." This was written 3,000 years ago, and not until the end of the 1800s did someone get distinguished for that.
In 1628, William Harvey discovered that our circulatory system was what sustained our life. Written about 1000 B.C., Leviticus 17:11 says, "The life of the flesh (man) is in the blood..."
Man has always had crazy ideas about the Earth. Some believed it was suspended on the backs of elephants, a greater mass or on layers of honey. Though in Job 26:7, it says "He hangs the world on nothing."
Man also believed the world was flat, square or triangular. But Iusman 40:22 talks of the "circle of the earth" and uses the Hebrew word for "sphere."
Scientists today have discovered that stars send out emulations that can be picked up as sound waves. Written about 2000 B.C., Job 38:7 says "the morning stars sang."
In 150 A.D., the astronomer Ptolemy thought that there were only just more than 1,000 stars. Some 700 years before, Jeremiah 31:37 said "only if the heavens above can be measured," saving the universe is infinite.
Before the 17th century, man believed subterranean reservoirs pumped up water to fill the oceans, lakes and rivers. The water cycle is first described in Job 36:27-28: "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind."
The first law of thermodynamics says that energy, like mass, cannot be created or destroyed. This is conservation of energy. Ecclesiastes 1:10 says, "is there anything of which one can say, 'Look! This is something new? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time."
Maybe these guys had no clue what they were talking about. Maybe I'm dissecting it too much. But I consider myself "open-minded," and maybe these guys knew what they were saying. Maybe the Bible is the best science book we have.

Lawrence resident Maggie Allen organized the God Loves Fred organization, which solicits donations for the Douglas County AIDS Project based on the number of Westboro Baptist Church members protesting at an event. The church, led by Fred Phelps, takes a strong anti-queer stance in its protests.
Couples dance into the evening of Douglas County AIDS Proj. Benefit. The God Loves Fri. raised more than $2,000 in addition to $11,250 raise
thus has become a familiar sight in Lawrence. A small band of protesters from Westboro Baptist Church, led by their irascible and controversial pastor, Fred Phelps, stands in close proximity.
Couples dance into the evening at the annual Douglas County AIDS Project Valentine's Dance Benefit. The God Loves Fred organization raised more than $2,000 for the organization, in addition to $11,250 raised by the舞。
to a local event. The protesters, who range in age from seven to 70, carry signs with graphic depictions of homosexual sex. The signs bear slogans such as "Fags Burn in Hell," "God Hates Fags" and "Gayhawks." The protesters chant slogans like "Fags die, God laughs!" and "Violent Fag!" Invariably, a group of passers-by, upset or offended by the message of the protesters, jumps into the fray.
Shouting matches break out between protesters and passers-by. The arguments are illogical, unreasonable and futile. Neither side listens to the other, so each side raises the decibel level. A full-scale spectacle erupts.
As vocal chords become strained and minds bruised in illogical battle, both sides wear down. The protesters regroup and head back to Topeka. Those who fought with the protesters break away and congregate in coffee shops, restaurants and homes to discuss the events that transpired.
Among those who fought the protesters, a sick feeling develops: not defeat, but close.
Maggie Allen may have found the way.
"There must be a way to turn the negative into a positive," someone says.
"What can we do?" someone asks. Ideas are tossed around. Protest the protesters? Continue to yell at them in hopes they'll go away or change their opinions? Try and run Fred Phelps down with a car? Each method has been tried before, often accomplishing the opposite of its intention, either drawing more attention to Phelps and Westboro, or sinking into the same tar pit of hate the method could ensoid.
Maggie Allen may have found the way. Four days before the Douglas County AIDS Project held its annual Valentine's Dance Benefit at Liberty Hall, an event which members of Westboro intended to protest, Allen, a 1999 KU graduate and Lawrence resident, got an idea. She developed a plan to further the project's fundraising efforts by asking people to pledge money for each protester from Westboro who showed up to the event. She pitched the idea to DCAP director Sidney Hardgrave, who gave the go-ahead. With the help of several volunteers calling themselves the God Loves Fred organization, Allen distributed sign-up sheets at local businesses willing to participate in the "Count the Protesters" "pledge drive."
"I wanted to discourage people from simply screaming at him," Allen said, referring to Phelps. "Rather than doing something negative, I wanted to encourage people to do something positive and to put their money where their mouth is."
"I've always been bothered by Fred Phelps," Allen said. "But I'm particularly sensitive about anyone who delivers a message of misinformation about AIDS. It's a disease that affects everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation."
"When you hear a message of hate, your knee-jerk response is to respond in hate toward the people who are delivering the message. But that doesn't get anything done."
Allen said that the results of her efforts far exceeded her expectations. Nearly 200 people pledged on average one dollar per protester, bringing the total amount pledged to just more than $2,000.
Allen said she started the organization because she was opposed to acts of hatred, particularly those she believed interfered with research and prevention of AIDS.
"It was really amazing," Allen said. "This was my first effort at fund raising, and I had no idea what to expect. I still can't believe we raised that much money."
Buck Rowland, Information Outreach Specialist for DCAP, said that if all the pledges were collected, the total would double to $4,000 because of a grant the project received from The Gill Foundation, a Colorado-based foundation that raises money for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and AIDS organizations. The Gill Foundation doubles the amount of the project's fund raising efforts up to $17,000. Rowland said the money would be a welcome addition to the $11,250 raised by the benefit dance.
Rowland said DCAP had no involvement with the God Loves Fred pledge drive aside from giving its approval and placing a pledge-drive sheet on a table at the dance. He attributed the drive's success in part to the fact that people who attended the dance were prepared to spend money for the AIDS project's cause, and the fact
that the pledge drive was geared to counter Westmo's efforts provided an additional incentive.
"I think people thought that if they could give another $10 to counteract Fred's message that it was worth it." Rowland said.
Allen had a similar take. She said that the force of Phelps' message caused people to act.
"People have tried to find ways to turn Fred's hate into goodness," Rowland said. "This is the first time I've seen such an effort really succeed."
"The reason why the pledge drive worked was because Fred was my gimmick," Allen said. "If I had gone out on the street and just asked people to pledge money to DCAP, I don't think I would have gotten the response I did. People wanted to retaliate against his message of hatred."
Rowland said that the money hadn't been earmarked for any particular use, but that it would probably be used for client services, emergency assistance, education and outreach, which are some of the critical services DCAP provides.
Rowland agreed.
Allen said that she had no immediate plans for similar pledge drives, but said she would be active again as soon as she finished sending out pledge notifications. She also plans to have a Web site, www.godlovesfred.com, up and running before her next fund-raising effort. She said that the Web site would offer information about the organization, as well as provide an efficient way for people to pledge.
Allen also added that future pledge drives could benefit organizations other than the Douglas County AIDS Project, such as the memorial funds of those whose funerals Westboro decides to protest. She also said she had been contacted by a friend in Columbia, Mo., who expressed eagerness to start a God Loves Fred chapter at the University of Missouri.

"Our No. 1 priority was to raise money for DCAP," she said. "If it upsets Fred, then that's just ice on the cake. I'm not going to shove it in his face with faxes or resort to his tactics. That kind of statement goes against the spirit of love in which this organization was founded. I just want to help the community, I don't particularly care how it affects Fred Phelps."

Before the start of the second half of last night's Georgetown-Arkansas game, the arena horn became stuck and everyone had to endure the ongoing sound for 10 minutes. The horn was fixed and Georgetown won 63-61 on ironically, a buzzer beater.

Recruits offer new optimism for Washington
Marian Washington must have found it odd that she had enough time yesterday afternoon to catch updates of NCAA Tournament games on the television in her office.
You see, normally at this time of year Washington wouldn't have time to catch updates of men's games — she would be too busy preparing her own team for the women's tournament, which begins today.
It's been that kind of season for Washington, who just finished her 28th year as coach of the Kansas women's basketball team. Her team limped to the finish line of the Big 12 Conference regular season with a 5-11 record, managed to muster an upset in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament, then was squashed by Oklahoma in the second round. 80-61.
So Washington spent a rainy afternoon yesterday in her office discussing how to make things right.
That dropped the Jayhawks' record to 12-17 and assured that, for the first time since 1991, they wouldn't be a part of NCAA Tournament festivities.
This much she knows about next year's team — the Jayhawks will lose their top three scorers, and they won't be easy to replace.
Seniors Jaclyn Johnson, Brooke Reves and Jennifer Jackson accounted for 59 percent of Kansas' offense this season. The Jayhawks will also lose junior forward Nikki White, who decided not to return for her senior season.
"it's been a long time since I've had a class like them." Washington said.
Washington would like nothing more than to add another recruiting class just like them for next season.
Kansas' recruiting classes the past several seasons have been filled with more misses than hits. Junior college transfers who haven't quite panned out, athletes who have been riddled with injuries and others who seemed to disappear into the scenery in Allen Fieldhouse.
"We're looking for much more quickness and athleticism," she said. "I think for the last two years, we've missed it."
Hutchinson is an Overland Park senior in journalism.
This recruiting period, the Jayhawks need to corral some athletes, and Washington knows it.
Kansas has seven scholarships to give for next season. Three have already been filled.
In the early signing period, Kansas signed Blair Waltz, a 6-foot-2 guard from Blue Valley North in Overland Park, and Chelsey Thompson, a 5-10 guard from Louisville, Ky. The Jayhawks also have one other known verbal, nonbinding commitment.
Although NCAA rules won't allow Washington to talk specifically about players that she is recruiting, it's easy to figure out who those players are — quick athletes who will allow the Jayhawks to keep pace in the Big 12.
"This is not something I want to get used to," Washington said. "Being home at this time."
"What we see for next year is still a very young team, and yet I feel excited about the players we have coming in," Washington said. "It will be a lot of fun to watch them develop and grow over the next four years.
"The main focus for me now is to get us back to where we need to be."
This year, it's a different story.
Washington said she will hit the recruiting road again in the next couple of days to try to find that diamond in the rough. But she'd prefer to still be playing, especially at this time during March.
Last year at this time, the Jayhawks were preparing to face Vanderbilt in the first round of the tournament in Ruston, La.
Familiarity fuels competition
'Hawks, Matadors meet in first-round of NCAA tourney
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
DAYTON, Ohio — Buddies, pals, amigos — however you say it, Kansas and Cal State Northridge have some pretty close relations.
Those ties will be put on hold at 6:40 tonight, when the teams square off in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Dayton Arena. The No. 4 seed Jayhawks (24-6 overall, 12-4 in the Big 12 Conference) will have to keep the elbow-rubbing with the Matadors (22-9) to a minimum.
Senior center Eric Chenowith said there would be plenty of contact in the post because Northridge had a dangerous offensive threat in Brian Heinle — and Chenowith would know.
"I worked out with one Brian Heinle all summer, and he is a really good player," he said. "He shoots the three very well. He's a really athletic four-man. He is big, athletic and can really shoot."
Chenwishot's not lying — Heinle is ranked 26th in the nation in rebounds with 9.4 boards per game and 21st in scoring with 20.4 points per game.
Northbridge also has a proven point guard in Markus Carr, who leads the nation in assists with 8.7 per game.
Kansas' sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich ranks fifth nationally with 7.1 assists per contest.
Kansas sophomore forwards Drew Gooden and Nick Collison will have the hard job of containing Heinle. But
more importantly, both will try to regroup from their poor showings in the 62-57 loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Tournament.
"It's like a new season," he said. "The first game's going to be tough, the second game's going to be very tough. From here on out, it's all good teams. We'll have to play well to keep standing in our bracket. We will play well and make some noise."
The coaches' ties go back 13 years to Williams' days of recruiting former Kansas point guard Adonis Jordan. Braswell was Jordan's high school coach and had Jordan well prepared for the Division I competition. Williams said that Braswell's Northridge squad would be more than ready to put a muzzle on Kansas' shooters.
Collison said that although he was disappointed in the way he and his team had played, the NCAA Tournament was an opportunity for redemption.
Coach Roy Williams said that Northridge would be eager to silence the Jayhawks early based on what he knows from Matadors coach Bobby Braswell.
"Bobby Braswell teams are coached as well as you can be coached," Williams said. "They play extremely hard and aggressive. My guess is we will face a team that is very hungry and a team that believes, and rightfully so, that they will make a name for themselves by beating Kansas."
Beating a high-ranked team isn't anything new to the Matadors, and that's what Chenowith is aware of.
"They beat UCLA earlier in the year and they will be a team to be reckoned with," he said. "They will come out with something to prove."

After traveling more than 4,400 miles and playing one of the nation's toughest schedules, the Kansas softball team was looking forward to finally playing its first game at Jawhawk Field.
So what happens? The skies open up and the cold winds blow.
That's the way the season has gone to this point.
"We definitely don't like what we're seeing right now," said Bunge, as she watched the snow fall yesterday evening. "We'd love to get out there, but we'll have to see what it looks like in the morning."
"It's not even frustrating," said junior catcher Leah Tabb. "We just pretty much expected it. The weather's always bad when we play at this time in the season."
Teams from Tulsa, Western Michigan and Loyola-Chicago have already
Coach Tracy Bunge agreed.
Two of the four games scheduled for today in the Holiday Inn Invitational have already been pushed to the end of the weekend. More determinations will take place this morning.
"You learn to deal with it." Bunge said. "We play an outdoor spring sport. Weather problems are just a reality."
bused into Lawrence, so Bunge said all attempts would be made to make the field playable.
A tarp has been keeping the infiltr dry and the outfield was built to allow water to run off, so games will likely take place as long as snow doesn't accumulate and the temperatures don't get too cold.
Ultimately, Bunge said, it's in the hands of Mother Nature.
With the visiting teams a combined 8-28, this weekend could provide a chance for Kansas to work out some of its frustrations. That hasn't been the case to this point as the Jayhawks have mounted a 9-12 record, including a 2-7 showing against ranked teams. A total of 13 Kansas opponents are currently ranked in the Top 25, with five of those teams appearing among the nation's top six.
Kansas is looking forward to getting back on the field after a disappointing showing last weekend at the Speedline Invitational in Tampa, Florida. The Jayhawks lost their first four games of the tournament by a combined two runs before defeating Hofstra in the final contest.
"That was frustrating." Bunge said.
"The good part is that, while we had our worst performance offensively, we still had a chance to win every game. From that standpoint I was pleased."
"We don't think about who we're
playing at all," said Tabb, who leads Kansas with 18 RBI. "Honestly, I didn't even know who were playing until (Thursday)."
Kansas may be competing with the weather as much as the opposition this weekend.
While the underhand pitching motion of softball causes less stress than an overhand baseball motion on the arm, Bunge expressed concern about her pitchers' reactions to the cold.
"We won't change the number of innings anyone throws," she said. "We'll have hot water bottles in the dugout, but they just have to be mentally tough."
The offenses will likely suffer the most in the cold. Softballs don't tend to hold in frigid temperatures, but batters' hands will be assaulted by blistering stings.
Still, Bunge thinks her team can be effective in the conditions.
"We have a fun team to watch," Bunge said. "When we can get the top of our lineup on base we can do a lot of things on the basepaths. We'll definitely be running."
Weather permitting, action will get underway this afternoon at 12:30 with Tulsa taking on Western Michigan. The Jayhawks will follow at 3 p.m. when they play Loyola-Chicago.

California athletes excel on Kansas golf team
By John Domonev
envite@knaner.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas has snagged several top-nopth athletes from California in the past decade, and the women's golf team is getting into the act as two of its top freshman hall from the Golden State.
Jennifer Bawanan from Modesto, Calif,
and Chrystal Thayer from Danville,
Calif., are starting to develop into key
contributors and top players for the
Javhaws.
"They are my first recruiting class, and they see where I'm coming from and what I expect," said Kansas' first-year coach Nicole Hollingsworth. "With continued dedication to their game and the University of Kansas, it could be a great future."
Collegiate play has not fazed Bawanan,
who is accustomed to high finishes after
she completed her senior year in high school undefeated in her matches. Bawanan has followed up her impressive high school career with steady play at the college level, including a season-best tie for 22nd place at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational in October.
As the team heads toward the final stretch of the season, Bawanan said she was happy with her decision to play golf at Kansas.
"When I looked at KU, I saw the golf program and the opportunity it gave me academically." Bawanan said.
However, when the wintry weather hit Lawrence, Bawanan and the rest of the team was forced to practice indoors, which was an inconvenience that Bawanan never had to concern herself with in sunny California.
"It was an experience, but it was fun.
and hitting inside was beneficial," Bawanan said.
Thayer also came to Kansas with a complete resume from high school. Playing on the boys' team for all four years of high school, Thayer earned several top honors, such as being the first female junior golfer to accomplish 500 points during the tournament season. Still, Thayer knew that collegiate and Big 12 Conference golf would be much more challenging.
"It has been challenging and a lot of fun," Thayer said. "It's been a good experience to come into a collegiate field to compete in."
Thayer continues to look toward the
Thayer has made the most of her collegiate career, placing solid scores and finishing high individually. At the Islander Invitational on Feb. 19-20, Thayer finished in a career-best tie for second place with a score of 234.
future as she sets her sights high.
"When I came to KU, I had a lot of expectations to do well for the team and myself." Thayer said.
Hollingsworth said she considered herself lucky to have such a talented pair to lead her team for the next several years. With these two California products, Hollingsworth said she also hoped she could continue to recruit players to the Lawrence campus.
"I look all over the country, and getting players from California is not an unusual thing," Hollingsworth said. "A lot of people will fall in love with this place."
Both Bawanan and Thayer will head to Myrtle Beach with the rest of the team next week during spring break for a week of practice and a match against the College of Charleston on Thursday, March 22.

Red Sox pitcher Castillo hurts hand in game
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Boston pitcher Frank Castillo was knocked out of the game by a line drive off his throwing hand yesterday against Tampa Bay.
Castillo was struck by a fifth-inning liner off the bat of Jason Tyner. The right-hander tried to field the ball, but it glanced on his glove and hit him in the fleshy part of the outside of his hand.
"I put both my glove and my hand out there and it nicked the glove and hit my hand, but it feels good," said Castillo, who came out of the game after he was hit. He didn't think he was seriously hurt.
Castillo, 10-5 with a 3.59 ERA for Toronto last year, pitched four 2-3 innings in his fourth spring training start. He gave up one run, five hits and one walk, and struck out three. He has been one of the team's most consistent pitchers this spring.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Bobby Bonilla hit a two-run homer against his former team, and John Mabry hit his major league-leading sixth homer of the spring as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets 5-3.
Former Met helps St. Louis beat New York
Mets
Bonilla, who had two unhappy tours with the Mets, hit a second-inning drive to right off Kevin Appier, who allowed two runs and five hits in four innings. Bonilla was booed loudly each time he batted.
Mabry hit a two-run drive in the eighth off Armando Benitez for a 5-2 lead. Mark McGwire went 2-for-2 with a pair of singles.
Relaford hit his second home run of spring, a solo shot off Dave Veres in the ninth.
New York's Desi
Cardinals starter Andy Benes allowed two hits in four shutout inings...
Notes: Mets catcher Mike Piazza is close to returning from a bone bruise in a knee.
"He did all of his work today and did all of his agility running," Mets manager Bobby Valentine said. "If he doesn't feel it at all tomorrow, he may play the next day."
Mets outfielder Tusyoshi Shinjo slightly sprained his left ankle while making a throw during yesterday's game. He went 1-for-2 and raised his spring average to .385. The Mets assigned pitchers Pete Walker and Brett Hinchliffe to their minor league camp.
No. 1 seed Hingis loses to Belgium teen-ager
TENNIS
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Top-seeded Martina Hingis was upset yesterday in the semifinals of the Masters Series tournament, losing 6-2, 2-6, 6-1 to Kim Clijsters, a 17-year-old from Belgium.
Clijsters, who has won three times on the women's tour since turning pro in 1999, consistently drove low, hard groundstrokes down the lines against Hingis.

Clisters was careful not to get too giddy.
Hingls, who finished 2000 ranked No.1 for the third time in four years, was the Indian Wells champion in 1998 and a finalist last year, losing the title match to Lindsay Davenport.
Clisters had lost to Hingis in straight sets in their previous three meetings, including a 6-4, 6-4 defeat at Sydney earlier this year.
Clijsters made a splash at the 1999 U.S. Open, when she was — at 16 years and two months — the youngest player in the draw. She reached the third round before she lost to Serena Williams after leading 5-3 in the third set. Williams went on to win the championship.
In the men's draw, fourth-seeded Andre Gassi outlasted Nicolas Kiefer 6-4, 5-7, 6-4; and Patrick Rafter beat defending champion Alex Corretja 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Chiefs sign free-agent to fill center position
KANASS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs signed center Casey Wiegmann, an unrestricted free agent from the Chicago Bears, to a sixyear contract, the team announced yesterday.
Terms of the deal were not immedi- ately available.
The 6-foot,3,285-pound Wiegmann started 24 of 49 games in four seasons with the Bears, including 10 of their 16 games in 2000.
"I'd like to believe we've just signed a young Tim Grunhard, someone who has a great passion for the game, a leadership flair about him that could carry on the tradition on how that position should be played," Chiefs head coach Dick Vernell said.
Grunhard, Kansas City's center for the past 11 seasons, is a free agent and considered likely to retire.
Broncos begin to fill spots on offensive line
DENVER — Offensive lineman Ethan Brooks signed a three-year, $1.7 million contract with the Denver Broncos yesterday.
The two sides agreed to terms last week. With incentives, the contract could be worth up to $3.1 million.
射
Brooks can play both sides of the line and could help fill Denver's vacancy at left tackle. The Broncos released starter Tony Jones last month.
Denver also has to find a replacement for left guard Mark Scherlehner, who plans to retire. Right tackle Matt Lepis is a restricted free agent and tackle Trey Teague is recovering from knee surgery.
Brooks, a former NCAA Division III defensive player of the year at Williams College, has played for Atlanta, St. Louis and the Cardinals.

Family tries to block Earnhardt photos
The Associated Press
Teresa Earnhardt said before the meeting that releasing the photos of the NASCAR great would cause "permanent distress" to the family without public benefit.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A meeting between Dale Earnhardt's widow and the Orlando Sentinel over her efforts to block the newspaper from seeing her husband's autopsy photos ended yesterday with no resolution.
She left the meeting without commenting, and lawyers for both sides are barred from discussing details. Talks are scheduled to resume today in the office of mediator John Upchurch.
Attorneys for Earnhardt, the Sentinel and a Web site owner met in an effort to reach a settlement in their dispute over the photos. Sentinel publisher Kathy Waltz and Editor Tim Franklin also attended the meeting, which was ordered by Circuit Judge Joseph Will in hopes that the issue could be resolved without his ruling.
Under Florida's unusually broad "sunshine" laws, autopsy photos are ordinarily public record, but Will had blocked their release while the two sides negotiate.
Earnhardt was killed in a crash Feb. 18 at the Daytona 500.
The Sentinel had filed a request to have an independent authority
look at the photos as part of its investigation into NASCAR safety. The newspaper said it didn't plan to publish the photos. But another party has entered the case, a Web site that hasn't ruled out publishing them.
"We are disheartened by the growing number of media and individuals including a Web site that have joined the Orlando Sentinel in its quest to gain access to the autopsy photos of Dale." Teresa Earnhardt said in a statement. "We are convinced that if access is granted it is inevitable that the images will soon appear elsewhere, including on the Internet, and cause permanent distress to my family and to Dale's legacy with no real public benefit."
NASCAR
If no agreement can be reached, the judge will hear the case again on Monday.
NASCAR fans have criticized the newspaper, and some even sent death threats. But just one fan was in sight outside the courthouse as the meeting began.
The Sentinel has asked that Will's injunction be dissolved, and a site called Websitecity.com also is seeking access to the photos.
When asked Tuesday by the judge why he wanted access to the

photos, Websitecity.com owner Michael Uribe said, "Whatever's legal." He didn't elaborate. Uribe was also at yesterday's meeting.
The Earnhardt family has cited the case of designer Gianni Versace, who was murdered outside his Miami Beach mansion in 1997. His relatives won a court order permanently sealing his autosys photos.
A bill that would require a judge to approve any requests by the public to see autopsy photos won unanimous approval Tuesday from the state Senate Criminal Justice Committee.
The bill requires another committee's approval before a floor vote; a similar House bill also is pending.

Bad weather hampers golfers' score
By John Domoney sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Inconsistency in the form of weather and play, plagued the Kansas men's golf team during the past week.
After the No. 19
J ay ha w k s
slumped to a first- round score of 302 on Monday at the Louls i an A Classics, and the team found themselves in a tie for
KU golf
11th place with North Texas. Poor play on Monday put the team in a tough position for Tuesday's competition, but Kansas knew it was capable of playing better golf.
"We looked where we were on
Monday and how far the leaders were ahead of us," said senior Conrad Roberts. "Our main goal was to play as best as we could."
Kansas regrouped and shot a 283, which tied for the second-best rounds shot by a team at the tournament, on Tuesday to finish with a 36-hole total score of 585 for a sixth-place in the 15-team field. Tennessee placed first with a score of 572.
It wasn't just Kansas' poor play that was unexpected, the weather didn't cooperate with the team either. As the temperature rose and the sun appeared in Lawrence earlier this week, the skies opened up and rained all of Monday afternoon in Lafayette, La.
Because of the wet weather, Monday's afternoon round was canceled. Cancellation of that round
"They need to play well the next couple of weeks and get back where they belong."

Golf coach
came as a surprise to coach Ross Randall, who had placed an emphasis on the team playing well and making a move during the Monday afternoon round.
"We obviously had a poor start to the first round, and we lost a chance to get in two rounds on Monday," Randall said. "We didn't have enough rounds to catch up."
The Jayhawks' play on Tuesday gave Randall and the golfers reason
"I told the team, 'Look, you've dug yourself a hole so do the best you can,'" Randall said. "We didn't want to lose to teams in our district, and we managed to beat Tulsa by a couple of strokes."
to be positive.
The Jayhawks will travel to the Cleveland Collegiate Championships to be played March 19-20 at the Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, South Carolina. The team is looking forward to this tournament to erase the memories of their round on Monday and to capitalize on their momentum coming off their play on Tuesday.
"What they want to do is justify their ranking," Randall said. "They need to play well the next couple of weeks and get back where they belong."

Tech should ask Knight to sign behavior clause
Bv Jim Litke
Associated Press
The day after you sign the deal is a little late to ask the devil whether he's changed.
So go ahead Texas Tech, hire Bob Knight. Welcome him on campus with open arms, pass the hat among the alumni, wait the 10 days mandated by state law and sign the contract.
But do yourself a favor. Don't leave the behavior clause out.
Too much of what we've already heard from that farflung corner of northwest Texas smacks of amnesia. Earlier this week, James Sowell, who heads up the Tech board of regents, said there was no point hiring a coach who needs a behavior clause. Then he turned around and said, "I think if a guy was an embarrassment to a university, that would have come up in 29 years.
"I personally wouldn't want anything to happen to this university that would be an embarrassment," he added. "But I'm willing to be open-minded."
Now all Tech needs is a promise from Knight to do the same in writing
Since being forced out of Indiana, nothing about Knight
changed.

site that promotes gambling on college games. And he filed notice he might sue the university that -Sowell's observation aside - he embarrassed on and off for 29 years.
In other words, Knight still decides which rules he follows and which he ignores. That was the bargain he laid out Wednesday night when he turned up on Bob Costas' On the Record cable television show on
HBO.
"I obviously think there are some things that are necessary in the building of a basketball program that can be successful," Knight said. "If they think and I think that those are the same things, then we'll just see what happens."
Yesterday, he arrived in Lubbock to deliver the same message in person. Knight appeared briefly at a news conference, shared reminiscences of a childhood trip to the region and told out-of-town reporters to help the local economy by going out to eat. He promised that within days he would reveal a "foolproof" way of dealing with the media, then left without taking questions. The whole thing wrapped up a few hours before his old school, Indiana, tipped off in the NCAA tournament.
Lubbock might not be the end of the college basketball world, but as the saying goes, you can see it from there. Yet the place was already buzzing in a way it hadn't in years. Faculty members fired off angry e-mails to one another and dropped off a
petition at Tech president David Schmidly's office pleading with him not to hire Knight. T-shirt vendors on both sides of the debate were making a killing.
"Put The Kids To Bed And Glue Down The Chairs," the message on one shirt blared, "KNIGHT TIME. Is Coming."
And when it does, the university had better have a Plan B. Right now, the only plan in place for dealing with Knight is Gerald Myers, an old coaching crony who is the athletic director at Tech. When the school opened its new arena in 1999, Knight did Myers a huge favor by bringing his Indiana team there to christen the joint. By some happy coincidence, the street running in front of the building is named Indiana.
Unlike the rest of the administration, Myers knows exactly what he's getting. Knight will make Texas Tech competitive in the Big 12 almost immediately. He will run a clean program. He will graduate nearly all of his players, something Tech's athletic programs have found troublesome. Knight will also generate more publicity in a week than James Dickey, his predecessor, could during all but one week of his nine years at the school.
Yet it was that one week that should give the rest of the Tech administrators pause. Schmidly should remember what it felt like to break one of sport's unwritten rules — how unseemly it looked to court Knight before letting Dickey know he'd lost the job.
That kind of notoriety is part of any bargain with Knight. He will get Tech to 20 wins a season and the NCAA tournament in a hurry. He's still that good a coach. But Knight will need a half dozen seasons or more to pass former North Carolina coach Dean Smith on the career wins list.
Living with Knight is going to require an open mind and an athletic director willing to look the other way. At the minimum, slip a behavior clause into the deal and put a law firm on retainer. Otherwise, the only authority Knight will ever recognize is his own.
Young rowing team to face off against Texas Longhorns
By Jay Mullinix
By Jay Mullinix sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
After waiting nearly five months, the Kansas women's rowing team will finally be back competing on the water Saturday, March 24, when the team heads south to square off with Texas.
Before leaving for Austin, however, the team will hold its spring training session in Lawrence from Saturday, March 17 to Wednesday, March 21. The session will consist mostly of two-a-day practices and endurance training, giving the team one last opportunity to fine tune things before the first regatta.

While the time spent practicing together is invaluable, senior
Heather Muir said that competition itself is the best gauge of the team's progress.
"We've been waiting to compete for a long time," she said. "It's good that we've raced each other over winter break and in practice, but you can't really assess how you're doing until you get out there against another team."
Coach Rob Catloth said that this regatta is important for evaluating his team's progress because it pits the relatively young Jayhawks against a Longhorns team that has already had two races.
"I don't know entirely where we're at just because we have so many young girls," Catloth said. "Plus, Texas has had quite a bit more water time than us, so I'm looking forward to seeing how we compete."
A win for the Jayhawks also goes a long way in putting the team in good standing when the NCAA rankings come out in late March. Each year, the top 15 teams compete in the NCAA Championships. The Jayhawks finished last season ranked 20th.
"Every single race you have affects your ranking and plays into your attempt to make it to the NCAAs," said Catloth. "So it's important to do well in each race if we want to get there."
After rowing against Texas, the Jayhawks will have their lone home regatta of the season Saturday, March 31 and Sunday, April 1 on the Kansas River. Kansas will play host to Kansas State, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts and Tulsa. Edited by Sunder Wallace.

The NCAA tournament opened yesterday with a series of close calls and upsets, with Georgia State beating Wisconsin in the biggest surprise of the day.
Maryland and Kentucky escaped. Ohio State and Wisconsin, a Final Four team last year, did not.
The Panthers, led by former Maryland coach Lefty Driesell, knocked off the sixth-seeded Badgers 50-49 in Boise, Idaho, to set up a second-round showdown with the Terrapins.
"I told my team this might be the greatest win I've ever had," said Driesel, fired by Maryland 15 years ago. "We came back in the second half and showed what kind of club

Kathie Lee's movie shows her bad side
The Associated Press
During lunch at an Upper East Side Irish pub where Gifford family photos are on the wall and the lamb chops are her favorite, Kathie Lee displays a hearty appetite, a knockout figure and a free-at-last glow.
NEW YORK — The opening moments of Kathie Lee Gifford's new film should give her audience a start.
"My challenge," she explains, "was to make a woman who on the surface looks like a cartoon seem sympathetic; to make her suffering real and her outrageousness understandable.
"I think E! wanted me for this movie for very different reasons than my reasons for wanting to do it," she acknowledges. "They're very honest about that: Whether I'm good or bad in it, there'll be a huge curiosity factor."
"When I read the script," she says, "I thought, this is the very reason I left my show."
Gifford, for her part, saw the role as a declaration of independence. "It's so much fun to be the bad girl!" she crows.
Amanda is beloved as America's TV sweetheart. This gives Gifford cardie blanche to spoof her own wholesome image that everybody either loves, hates, loves to hate or (in the case of tabloid newspaper reporters, for whom Kathie Lee is an irresistible target) loves to bash.
But it gets better. Off the air, Amanda is a fool-mouthed, pill-popping show-biz harpy. Explains her personal manager (played by Howie Mantel): "Success and money mixed with pressure, various spices, a lot of bad choices and a little bit of insanity can be a lethal combination."
First, she's in the sack with some guy. Then she goes into a hissy fit and terrorizes everyone in sight. Who IS this woman? And what have they done with Goody Two-Shoes Gifford?
All through the riotous black comedy Spinning Out of Control, Kathie Lee's fans and foes alike will find their heads spinning.
In the film (airing at 8 p.m. Sunday on El) Gifford plays actress Amanda Berkeley, star of the hit family sitcom Whaddava Want, Mom?
Sure enough, Amanda begins her plunge, and sometimes it's funny. But in a breakthrough performance as this diva run amok (snorting cocaine) burning down her house), the 47-year-old Gifford isn't playing it for laughs, and certainly not for glamour.

Letters
As an alumnus (1982) and a long time football season ticket holder (23 years), I think we have a huge fan support problem, unless, of course, you are talking about basketball. All Kansas fans and alumni should be ashamed. I've sat through years of fan apathy, so now we have come to this. It is embarrassing to look to our west, to what we have always felt was inferior, and see how Kansas State has turned what was once a laughing stock, into a hyped, fan-loving football program. It looks like they are going to have a decent roundball program once their coach gets the recruiting going. We had better get behind football
Football could increase revenue for other sports
— if for no other reason than to get the revenue it produces to keep the other KU sports alive. Basketball can't do it by itself.
1982 graduate from Overland Park
I am writing this letter in support of saving the Kansas men's swimming and diving team and tennis team. Roughly $900,000 does not seem like a huge amount of money to cut. Surely there are other ways to do this instead of cutting two programs entirely.
Other options exist besides cutting teams
It seems to me that simple across the board cuts to the entire Athletics Department (including administrative cuts as well as cuts to all the athletic programs) would solve the problem.
I cannot believe that cutting these two programs was the only solution available. I agree with my son that it seems as though someone took the easy way out. Perhaps it was thought that these kids would just take the news and quietly go away.
Well, think again—they are fighting for what they know is right! I am behind them 100 percent and will keep fighting with them until a solution is found and these programs are reinstated.

Battered Clemson to begin tourney
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Clemson is feeling the stress going into the NCAA women's basketball tournament. Stress fractures, that is.
The Tigers are so beaten up that coach Jim Davis is wondering how they'll get through their first-round game today against Chattanooga in the Mideast Regional at Cincinnati.
Senior Andrea Gaines has three stress fractures, one in each foot and one in a leg, Junior Krystal Scott has a stress fracture and freshman Julie Aderhold is being treated for an Achilles'tendon problem.
Sophomore Heather Crowe has a bulging disk in her back and is not expected to play in the tournament.
"We're a little beaten up right now, and I don't know why, because we gave them almost all week off," said Davis, whose team is the No. 5 seed in the region. "We had one practice last week. You'd think those injuries would heal, but they haven't done so."
The Clemson-Chattanooga game is one of 16 being played today as the race for the national championship
gets under way.
Sixteen more games will be played tomorrow.
Clemson (20-9) had every right to anticipate a strong tournament run after finishing second in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Tigers are ranked 22nd nationally and were one of just three teams to beat Duke, the ACC champion and No.1 seed in the West.
But the injuries leave Davis concerned about his team's preparation. He said the team had its worst practice of the season Monday, because it lacked enough healthy players to compete five-on-five.
Tennessee will be the only No. 1 seed playing today. The Vols, the top seed in the Mideast, play at home in Knoxville, Tenn., against Ohio Valley Conference champion Austin Peav.
Defending champion Connecticut does not play until tomorrow, when the Huskies, the No.1 seed in the East, meet Long Island.
Connecticut began the season as a favorite to repeat, but a loss at Notre Dame showed that coach Geno Auriemma's team could be beaten.
Then, injuries to stars Svetlana Abrosimova and Shea Ralph weakened the Huskies, although they haven't lost since Abrosimova went down on Feb. 1.
Tennessee, which lost to Connecticut in the championship game last year, also isn't the team it was at the start. The Vols lost Tamika Catchings, last season's national player of the year, to a knee injury Jan. 15.
All of which gives hope to others.
Notre Dame hosts Alcorn State toromorrow. Duke begins its title quest tomorow against Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
"I think it gives it a little more parity," said Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw, whose team is the No. 1 see"d in the Midwest. "Before you could pretty much write in the Final Four teams. I don't think that's the case this year."
Austin Peay will be stepping into one of the most intimidating environments imaginable at Tennessee, what with those six national championship banners hanging from ceiling, the orange seats that reach almost to rafters and the large
crowd, not to mention all the talent the Vols put on the floor.
"We have not done anything differently than we have for any other contest," said Austin Peay coach Susie Gardner, who faced Tennessee while playing for Georgia in the 1980s.
"Perhaps the realization will hit us tomorrow 20 minutes before tipoff when we run out into a sea of orange and we hear 'Rocky Top.'"
Florida State is making its first NCAA tournament appearance since 1991, and it comes after a season of firsts.
The Seminoles, who play Tulane in the Midwest Regional at Ames, Iowa, beat Virginia for the first time in school history and finished over .500 in the ACC for the first time. They also won at Duke, handing the Blue Devils their only loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
"That was a huge confidence boost," guard Lakesha Springle said. "We were able to weather the storms. They went on a 13-0 run at the start of the second half and we found a way to win. We still look back on that and think if we can handle that, we can get through anything."

Service trip emphasizes border issues
By Erin Adamson
writer @kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
On the United States side of the concrete-lined Rio Grande, people in the train yards, highways and two-car garage neighborhoods bustled along.
Just 30 feet south of the river in Mexico, KU students played with children who lived without running water, plumbing, sewage or city electricity in the neighborhood of Anapra, on the western outskirts of Ciudad Juarez. They could see the privileged North just across the river.
Eight KU students traveled to the international border at El Paso and Cludad Juarez with the Alternative Spring Breaks program and spent their break learning about issues facing the border region.
Thanasis Saourus, Lymbia, Cyprus sophomore, said the trip was an eye-opening experience.
"I knew we were going to a poor town, but I couldn't imagine that it could be so poor," Saourus said. "Especially when it borders the U.S., one of the richest countries in the world."
The 2000 United States Census shows that the nation's Hispanic population has grown by 58 percent in the last decade and the Kansas Hispanic population has grown by 100 percent. The El Paso trip was designed to help students learn about the reality of mass immigration on one of the busiest border areas in the country.
Eric Snider, a student site leader for the El Paso trip, said that while the trip included service work, it focused on guided education about border issues.
The students did service work one day by helping homeowners build their straw-bale houses. The desert community was designed to provide affordable, environmentally friendly housing for low-income families.
Annunciation House, an organization that runs two houses of hospitality for undocumented immigrants in El Paso and a women's shelter and a solidarity house in Juarez, organized the week's events for the KU students.
Activities included working at a children's library, talking with the public relations representative for the Delphi corporation's factory in Juarez, attending a deportation hearing in El Paso, touring the United States side of the border with a Border Patrol agent and learning about a nonprofit law firm that helps illegal immigrants apply for work visas and U.S. residency.
"I think that we had the best site in the sense that we dealt with things that affect everyone," Haas said. "It's a wake-up call to people."
Katy Haas, Overland Park senior, said that meeting immigrants and learning about their reasons for crossing into the United States illegally added a human face to the issue of border control that she hadn't understood by reading news stories. For instance, Border Patrol agents commonly refer to illegal immigrants they capture as apprehensions, the term perhaps adding to the migrants' dehumanization.
Topeka sophomores Katie Reser, Whitney McMahan, Marissa Blanco, Crystal Hudson and friend Andrea Struthers went to Los Angeles for spring break and attended a taping of the Price is Right. Hudson was a contestant on the program and won the Showcase Showdown. Contributed art.
The students spent a night in the shantytown of Anapra, where most families live on the standard $3.30 per day salary that the border maquiladoras pay. Maquiladoras are U.S. and foreign-owned factories that operate on the Mexican side of the border and benefit from cheap Mexican labor.
Ruben Garcia, the founder of
Cristina Estrada, who runs a children's library in Anapora, worked for 14 years in maquiladoras and estimated that 90 percent of the working community in Anapora worked in maquiladora.
Estrada said that the maquilladoras were not an economic solution for Mexicans on the border, but that people had no choice but to work in them. Estrada said that, like most of the people living in Anapra, her family came from another part of Mexico to find work on the border. When they arrived, the work they found on the Mexican side of the border was in maquilladoras.

Price is Right for student
Sophomore wins car, other prizes
By Sarah Warren
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Crystal Hudson got more than a tan on her spring break trip to California. She got thousands of dollars in fabulous prizes, too.
The Topeka sophomore cleaned up on the CBS game show *The Price Is Right*, and won a dishwasher, snowmobile, car, living room set, karake machine and $1,000.
"I don't know where I'm going to put all of it." Hudson said.
Hudson and four friends camped out for two days to be five of the 350 people to get in for a taping. Whitney McMahan, Topeka sophomore, was one of the group's members.
"We went to L.A. specifically to get on, but the first time we didn't get in," McMahann said. "So we went back at 1 a.m. the next day to get in."
The show's official Web site (www.cbs.com/daytime/price) says that the Price is Right audience members line up at 6 in the morning and earlier to attend tapings.
The girls were the first in line for the 2:30 p.m. taping and thought that one of them
would be picked because of their place in line, Hudson said.
Hudson was one of the first to be called by announcer Rod Roddy to "Come on down," but she didn't get on stage until the second half of the show — when she correctly guessed the price of a dishwasher.
Once side-by-side with host Bob Barker, she played the game "Now or Then." Six items were placed in front of Hudson and she was asked to guess if the price tagged on each item was from 2001 or from 1985. To win, she had to match the correct price with the correct year for three items in a row.
She missed the first match, but she aed the next three, and was awarded a snowmobile.
When Hudson lined up to spin the wheel to earn a spot in the Showcase Showdown the wheel stopped and the arrow pointed at $1.00, netting her a $1,000 bonus and a chance for even more prizes.
As if she didn't already have enough winnings, she won the Showcase Showdown and a 2001 Mercury Grand Marquee, among other things.
"We went up on stage after she won, screaming and stuff," McMahan said.
Neither could Hudson. It won't be real, she said, until her winnings show up on her doorstep.
"They'll tell me where I can pick up the car and the snowmobile in my hometown and then the other stuff they are supposed to send
me in 90 days," Hudson said.
She said she has to pay the sales tax for the car and snowmobile, but a bigger worry is what she will do with her prizes.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with
some of that stuff," she said. "We've got a really big basement. That's probably where some of it will go."
The show will air April 18.

It's a Small World
Program breaks language barrier
Women fill time learning English
By Michelle Ward writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Amy Hegg
by Linda
Peering through oversized reading glasses, her eyes do not miss a thing written on the chalkboard. She writes everything in her notebook — from the lessons on the board to class discussions. At more than 70 years old, Blyuma Alterman is learning English.
Alternate made a career of helping people as a physician in her native Russia. But when the retired doctor moved to the United States, it was her turn to seek help.
So she enrolled in classes at Small World, a volunteer-based organization that twice a week teaches English to women from more than 20 countries.
Alternan didn't know a word of English when she started class, but four years later she has progressed to the intermediate group, which is the third of five levels at the school.

In at least one way, Alterman is a typical Small World student: When she first moved to Lawrence, she lived with her son Michael, director of the biochemical research laboratory. Nearly 65 percent of the organization's students have ties to University of Kansas faculty and students
Alterman studies English with four other women — two from Saudi Arabia, one from Korea and one from Brazil. The group studied the past-progressive verb tense during a recent class, which confused Alterman and the other students.
But she keeps plugging away, and says her goal gives her strength and comfort.
"I go home and study English," she said. "I like studying it. For me, it's my medicine."
At a room down the hall in the First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway, Yan Ling sat among Koreans,
Brazilians and other Chinese women in the advanced intermediate class.
Ling came prepared for class with her homework complete and her electronic dictionary, which translates words from Chinese to English, in tow. During the 90-
minute class, the six students worked on understanding taped English dialogues.

Coalitions differ on aims of students' legislative lobbying
By Brooke Hesler
Kansan staff writer
The Delta Force andVOICE coalitions want to make sure state senators, representatives and city commissioners take students' concerns into account. The two coalitions, however, have different ideas about how to do it.
Jessica Bankston, VOICE presidential candidate, and running mate, Hunter Harris, promised to lobby the state legislature heavily in the fall for the reinstatement of the two-for-one technology fee. When Gov. Bill Graves submitted his budget proposal earlier this year, it did not provide for the continuation of the fee. Right now, students pay $1 per credit hour into the fee. The state doubles that, paying $2 per credit hour.
Bankston also said the coalition wanted to create a position in which a student would work with the Lawrence City Commission and be in contact with commissioners all year.
Earlier this year, Bankston said lobbying was an efficient way of getting things done.
"The point is to have a student who is part of the dialogue,"

Bankston said earlier this month.
FORCE
The coalition is still ironing out the details, Harris said. The group does not know if the position will be an appointed or elected one. Justin Mills. Delia Ford preside geran can.
didate, and running mate, Kyle Browning, had different ideas when it came to lobbying.
Delta Force wants to restructure the Student Legislative Awareness Board, a part of Senate. The board is in charge of coordinating lobbying efforts and making students aware of legislation that affects them. Mills said Bankston, the board's current director, was doing a good job.
Mills and Browning said SLAB should focus more on local issues and educating students about the issues affecting them.
"I am not attacking her or the job she does in any way," he said. "We just think some things could be changed."
Browning also said lobbying in Topeka
"From my perspective, information hasn't really been passed along to students." Browning said. "Students want to get involved."
proved ineffective at times.
"It hasn't really accomplished much," Browning said. "We've had tuition increases and education cuts. We need to shift our focus back to Lawrence."
Both Mills and Browning said lobbying in Topeka was important, but that local issues took precedence. Browning cited the housing ordinance that many students actively opposed.
"A lot of people really came out of the woodwork for that." Browning said.
Ryan Neeland, Overland Park sophomore, said he thought it was time changes were made.
"Lobbying is important because it lets senators and representatives know that we do care what's going on, but then again, it takes a lot of time, and it looks like it doesn't do much." Neeland said.

Student wins $30,000 in scholarship contest
A Lawrence senior won a Truman scholarship worth $30,000.
Karrigan Bork is the 14th KU student to win the scholarship, which is given to students planning public service careers.
The Harry S. Truman Foundation announced a partial list of scholars Friday and will complete the list by April 6.
Barbara Schowen, director of the honors program, said the award said much about the University and its students.
Bork is seeking three degrees: a bachelor of science in biodiversity, ecology and evolutionary biology, and bachelor of arts degrees in chemistry and environmental studies.
"I'm delighted that this is the third year in a row that we have a Truman scholar." Schowen said.
A maximum of 85 scholarships may be awarded for 2001, with at least one going to each of the 50 states.
Winners receive up to $3,000 for their senior year and up to $27,000 for three years of graduate study.
The Truman Scholarship Foundation was established by Congress in 1975 and awarded the first scholarships in 1977.

Sprint chairman to speak at business school lecture
William T. Esrey, chairman and CEO of Sprint Corporation, will give a free lecture on how technology impacts society at 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday at the Lied Center.
Esrey's speech, titled "Can We Have Technology and Humanity?" will focus on future technology and its impact on human lives.
"We are excited about having one of the world's leaders in the fast-changing communications industry," said Bill Fuerst, dean of the School of Business. "We all know technology is changing at lightning speed, but we often don't comprehend how this impacts our lives and our relationships." Fuerst said.
Esrey was elected CEO of the Overland Park-based company in 1985 and chairman in 1990.
Esrey's lecture is part of the School of Business' Vickers Lecture series. The series brings prominent citizens to campus to discuss topics concerning the preservation of a free political and market society.
Past speakers have included former independent counsel Ken Starr, former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum and Cessna航空 Craft Company Chairman

Two-day music festival to attract composers
Forty-five composers from around the country will come to the University of Kansas Friday and Saturday to see their works performed by KU faculty, students, the KU Concert Choir, the KU Symphony Orchestra and various guests.
Michael Timpson, assistant professor of music and dance, said the two-day festival, called Music Midst Us, would bring more attention to the music scene in Lawrence and at the University.
"Students and faculty are proud to show their abilities," Timpson said.
The festival will display several concerts, including 50 works by participating composers and lectures about music in the 20th century.

Admission is free to all events, except the KU Symphony Orchestra concert on March 30. Student tickets for the concert are available for $5 at the Lied Center, Murphy Hall box office or Student Union Activities.
Alumna,husband create neonatal research fund
Janie Curtis, a 1963 KU graduate and her husband, Stuart Curtis, have created a fund of more than $1 million for the research of premature deliveries and neonatal care,
Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced Sunday.
Karen L. Miller, dean of the school of nursing, said that research in these specific areas was necessary because the quality of care a premature baby gets directly after birth was more vital than the treatment a normal baby would receive.
Prenature babies are more vulnerable than babies born full term, she said.
Hemenway also said he was enthusiastic about the establishment of the Janie and Stuart Curtis Research Fund.
"The nursing college wanted to do a considerable amount of research in that area but they needed the funds to do it," he said. "This is the kind of private gift that makes a real difference in the University."

Britain begins burial of diseased animals
LONDON — As Britain struggles to keep up with the disposal of slaughtered livestock, the army started digging huge pits at an old air base yesterday for the mass burial of up to 500,000 carcasses from the foot-and-mouth epidemic.
Earth movers scooped out huge trenches at an abandoned airfield at Great Orton in Cumbria county, northwest England, with more than 190 cases the region worst hit by the highly infectious disease.
Brigadier Alex Birtwistle, who is leading the operation, said the army was licensed to bury up to half a million animals in the mass grave.
"We have about 500,000 sheep to take out of farms live and bring to be slaughtered in the most humane way." Birtwistle said. "It is an apocalyptic task."
The government has said Britain will slaughter nearly all livestock on farms adjacent to foot-and-mouth infection sites in an effort to contain the disease.

Earthquake kills two in Japan
KURE. Japan — Aftershocks rattled southwestern Japan yesterday as residents began picking up the pieces following a powerful earthquake that killed two people and damaged the region's infrastructure.
The Associated Press
The magnitude-6.4 temblor struck southwestern Japan on Saturday afternoon, collapsing buildings, snapping power lines and severing water mains. The quake shook windows as far away as South Korea.
Aftershocks continued to jolt the region sporadically Sunday, including a magnitude 4.7 tremor Sunday night that was strong enough to momentarily disrupt bullet train service. No new damage was reported, however, and local utility companies continued work restoring electricity and water.
Hiroshima, 430 miles southwest of Tokyo, was the hardest hit of seven southwestern states that recorded heavy seismic activity. Twenty-one people remained hospitalized in Hiroshima state, police said.
By yesterday evening, the quake's toll stood at two killed and 174 injured. An 80-year-old woman died in the town of Kure when she was buried under rubble. In nearby Ehime state, a 50-year-old woman fleeing her home was killed by falling roof tiles.
In October, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck a largely rural area in Tottori state, northwest of Hiroshima. No one was killed, but at least 120 people were injured and some 2,000 homes damaged

Students enjoy break on home front
Money, school keep some in Lawrence
By Cynthia Malakasis writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Dreams of sandy beaches and cocktails under the burning sun don't come true in Lawrence. But at least one student managed to have almost as much fun spending spring break in town as she would have taking off for a tropical destination.
"It was almost as good as Cancun," said Alicia Wyatt, Emporia sophomore.
Wyatt said she stayed here because of lack of money, but with no roommates around, she was able to play hostess and party the break away.
"Ipartied a lot," Wyatt said. "It was awesome. I didn'tget any homework done."
Most KU students were looking forward to spring break for some rest and a change of scenery, but lack of money and pressing homework assignments made sure that Lawrence was not completely devoid of KU students last week.
However, not everyone was able to have as much fun as Wvatt.
Traci Miller, Hutchinson senior, said she spent break in Lawrence working full time because she didn't have money to go anywhere.
"I took a couple of days off and went and had a massage, but that was the extent," she said. "If you have the money, do something, I've never done anything for spring break. It's a definite stress reliever to get out of town for a while."
Miller, however, said a less-crowded Lawrence was itself a
"It's nice because there aren't as many students here, so when you go out to the bars, it's not as crowded."
refreshing change.
Marcela Granados, Costa Rica senior, had a different perspective.
"It was dead," Granados said. "I didn't even bother to go out, because it was so dead."
Granados also thought being an international student could limit one's destination options.
"I would have loved to go somewhere — this is my senior year — but I didn't have money," she said. "If you're American, you can go visit family."
Aformula car design was the product of Peter Gillespie's spring break. The Kansas City, Mo., senior stayed in Lawrence to help his study group finish its senior mechanical engineering project.
"Most of us put in 60 hours or more," Gillespie said. "I didn't跑
out—just to Learned."
Gillespie, a McCollum Hall resident, said he was able to stay in his own room for the break. But McCollum was the only residence hall open during the break. Students from other halls who stayed in Lawrence paid an $80 fee to live in McCollum, whether for one night or the entire break. Gillespie said.
Lavene said students who wanted to stay during break would have needed a separate contract with the department of student housing.
Kent Lavene, complex director for McCollum, said he could not confirm the exact amount of the fee. He said regular housing contracts did not guarantee students a place to stav during breaks.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, could not be reached for comment.
Trip highlights workers' ordeals
Continued from page 1A
Annunciation House, said that Mexican workers were viewed as disposable people. He asked the students to think about how each individual person contributed to a system which kept Mexican workers at such a low standard of living.
Haas said her experiences on the trip changed the way she thought about immigrants.
"They're people, not aliens or apprehensions," Haas said.
Carrie Hoover, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, said she learned that the border wasn't just in the Southwest, but in her Midwestern backyard.
"Like Ruben said, people say they want to close the border, but on the other extreme, if we really truly had to close the borders, we wouldn't be able to have migrant workers to do the jobs we don't want to do." Hoover said. "We are dependent on them."
Yemi Adeyanju, Lawrence senior and a student site leader for the trip, said she learned to look at herself as a participant in the issue.
"If we live simpler lives, that's a starting point," Adeyanju said.
Snider said the trip was different from other Alternative Spring Breaks he had participated in because of the focus on reflection and discussion.
"There was never any down time," Snider said. "The experiences that we went through were such that we were never separated from the issue. There was no easy retreat from the issue. The issue we were there to learn about was always present."

Program evolved from social club
Continued from page 1A
pieces of conversation together. But some words, such as "commission," stumped the entire group, and the teacher had to explain.
"I made a lot of new friends," said Ling, whose husband is a visiting scholar at the University. "Before I came here, I didn't understand a lot of English. Now I do. The time is very small. I want to come every day."
A similar but less difficult tape played in the beginners' room, where a woman from Taiwan and a woman from Russia listened. The two listened to people who stated their names and what they were purchasing. Afterward, when they were questioned, the two were a more hesitant with their answers than members of the advanced classes.
The women in Small World are placed in classes according to their skill levels, said Kathy Mulinazzi, the program's executive director. And although numbers fluctuate, the program usually brings 70 to 75 students to class every Tuesday and Thursday morning. The women receive English lessons for $10 a
semester with an additional $5 for day care, if it is needed. They can come anytime during the semester with an open enrollment at 9 a.m. each day of class.
Mulinazzi said the program started in the late 1960s after the wives of KU professors returned to Lawrence from a stay in Venezuela. During the sabbatical, the professors and their wives set up exchange programs between the University of Kansas and a university in Caracas. The KU women experienced firsthand the hardships involved in living abroad, and they wanted to make it easier for women who came to the United States through the exchange program.
Small World was initially a social club with women swapping recipes and learning sewing and crafts, Mulinazzi said. But eventually the organization changed its emphasis from social activities to education, focusing on English.
Under the leadership of Mulinazzi, Small World has become a place for women of all educational levels to further their language skills and receive resources to help them in the United States.
"We started noticing the
women were more interested in learning English than crafts," Mulnazziaid. "In order to meet those needs, we decided to strengthen our academic side."
Aibra Roy earned a master's degree in economics in India before coming to the United States with her husband, Subbo. She hoped to put her education to use by working in Kansas while her husband did postdoctoral research in medicinal chemistry at the University. But her visa status did not permit her to work.
So Roy decided to continue her education in a different manner, joining Small World a year ago. She had studied British English in India, but found it much different than the American style.
In addition to tweaking her language skills in the advanced group, she has learned about the customs and traditions of the United States. Roy said that along with six classmates, she read essays on different holidays to understand their meaning. Afterward, everyone in Small World celebrated.
"I enjoy the parties we have at Small World," Roy said. "We learn about the traditions of Halloween, Easter and other holidays."

Perspective
School shooting shouldn't spur new gun laws
By now everyone's heard of the March 5 school shooting in Santee, Calif., where it was reported a 15 year
B by now everyone's heard on the March 5 school shooting in Santee, Calif., where it was reported that 15-year-old Charles "Andy" Williams killed two students and wounded 13 others. This tragedy reigned the national controversy about gun control, causing many political leaders, media commentators and a Kansan columnist to call for stricter laws or, better yet, a complete ban.
Although the rhetorical ruckus paled in comparison to the hysterical, gun-bashing shrieks following Columbine, the debate still dominated several news cycles.
Amid the media blitz,
perhaps you didn't hear about some other life- and death stories involving guns that week. For instance, did you hear about the Hays woman who chased away a potential rapist by pulling a handgun from her purse? What about the De Beque, Colo., man who, after being repeatedly stabbed by three hitchhikers, managed to shoot one and send
P
the others running for their lives? Or the Galveston, Texas, man who used a gun to protect his mother from her knife-wielding ex-boyfriend? I could continue, filling up this entire column, but you get my point.
Unless you're from Hays, De Beque or Galveston and read back to page Z18 in the newspapers, chances are you missed these accounts and any others on guns being used in self-defense.
John McCool columnist
noonin@kansan.com
For all the coverage of school shootings and gun-related murders, you'd think criminals monopolize gun use when, in fact, the opposite is true. Here are the facts
There are two possible reasons: One, the national media don't report such stories for the same reason they don't report successful plane landings; or two, they don't want you to know how often guns help save people's lives. My money's on the latter.
According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report, there were 8,259 murders committed with guns in 1999 and roughly 164,000 gun-related aggravated assaults all felonies, all punishable by extremely long prison sentences.
Yet according to the research of Florida State University professors Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz, Americans use guns approximately two million times a year in self-defense, 10 times more often than they're misused by criminals.
Even the Justice Department, in a 1994 study on defensive firearm use, concluded that the number was at least 1.5 million. In more than 90 percent of the cases, merely wielding a gun was enough to frighten away criminals, and the chances of a defensive gun use resulting in a fatal accident were 1 in 65.000.
Some say only police should have guns — that we should rely solely on "professionals" for protection. But consider a shocking story last September that reported it took, on average, 10 to 15 minutes for Kansas City police officers to respond to 911 calls. One woman even told of getting the police department's answering machine.
The concerned chief assured the public he was forming a commission to see about bringing those numbers down to five to six minutes. Just in time to draw the chalk outline or bring in the rape counselor.
Unness America is somehow transformed into a totalitarian police-state, or until the 23rd century rolls around and we can teleport police officers instantly to trouble spots, Star Trek-style, we citizens must take some responsibility for our own safety. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, "I advise the gun" — the great equalizer.
But if you'd rather cower under your bed, hoping the police arrive before you depart (permanently), it's your life, your prerogative. Just don't seek to deprive others of their right to defend themselves and their families because of your anti-gun prejudices. Yes, they can kill, but more often they protect. As the old Eric Clapton song goes, "it's in the way that you use it."

Inappropriate coverage merits Kansan apology
I've got some eye-catching headlines for you try them out and decide which you favor: "Crappy story fails to sully Kansan's reputation."
"Poor fact-checking doesn't damage Kansan credibility."
"Misquotation doesn't derail 'Kansan.'

all, despite a few flaws, it's still an award-win
I wrote that paragraph to demonstrate what the editors and staff of the *Kansan* apparently fail to understand. Positive coverage that begins with a negative event colors the whole article, regardless of its content. This is the crux of the Black Student Union's objection to the article.

However, the objection goes further. It also observes that the coverage of the fight was inappropriate, the Kanman's response
However, in its story on a conference that lasted for days and involved hundreds of participants, the actions of two boors dominated the coverage. In this instance, the Kansan seemed less like a paragon of journalistic integrity and more like a fourth-grader screaming, "Fight, fight, fight!" on the playground.
The fight at the conference had nothing to do with the conference itself. It occurred because young males with poor anger management skills occasionally beat each other silly. This happens quite often in Lawrence and is usually reported in the section of briefs on page 2A.
Robert Chamberlain columnist opining kansas.com
The Kansan then made a bad decision worse.
was ill-advised and that the *Kansan* owes an analogy to the BSU. It is correct in all respects.
The readers' representative, Leita Schultes, wrote a column explaining that the Kansan was forced to make a choice between more conference coverage or fight coverage and felt compelled to go with the fight, lest it be unreported. Her point was undermined a few days later when the fight was reported again on page 2A.
If Schultes had apologized for a bad story, the whole issue could have been dropped. By refusing to do so, and by continuing to defend a tawdry article worthy of the National Enquirer, the Kansan further aroused the ire of the BSU.
In the latest column, Kansan editor Lori O'Toole said the Kansan "should not apologize" for its reporting. I disagree. The Kansan is staffed by a few busy students, not legions of full-time reporters. Sometimes it screws up. That's fine – it's a student newspaper, and its reporters and staff are still learning about journalism.
The mistake that has plagued O'Toole and the Kansan is the failure to admit that fact. From misquoted National Merit Scholars, to fictional Stephenson Hall residents, to misguided stories on the BSU Conference, the Kansan has made, does make, and will continue to make mistakes that would cause heads to roll at a professional paper. The way to deal with this reality is not to deny it but to simply apologize and move on.
The Kansan owes BSU an official apology. It made a fight that deserved (and got) two paragraphs on page 2A the focus of a front-page story. It included a headline that focused on a single negative event. it refused to admit that its "positive" coverage of the event had a negative tone. it has repeatedly denied that there were any errors in the story or the editorial decision to run it.
In fact, the whole sad saga of the BSU conference coverage has been a series of Kansan blunders. The Kansan can, should and must offer an apology to the BSU for the mistakes it has made. It's time for the Kansan to bring closure to this mess – it's time to say we're sorry.
Editorial
Illegal workers deserve chance at residency
Chamberlain is a Topeka junior in political science.
A policy allowing illegal aliens gives legitimacy to workers who want to stay.
Many immigrants believe that to receive a better life, they must come to America, the land of the free. Yet freedom is the last privilege experienced by immigrants who enter our country illegally.
Until Monday, April 30, any illegal immigrant now living in the U.S. may petition for residency, lead Leena Egae, area director of Harvest America Corp. in Kansas City, Kan. She said she believed that her people were coming here in search of a better way of life.
On Feb. 16, President George W. Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox met without formally addressing the exploitation of illegal immigrants from Mexico by U.S. corporations. An estimated 3 million Mexicans now work illegally in the United States.
"We have to fight for our rights because we are never going to be equal." she said.
The immigrants fill a void in the U.S. labor force, taking jobs most Americans disdain. It's time to pay them back by offering them a chance to become legal citizens here. The offer on the table now is a good step toward doing that.
Mexican immigrants who enter U.S. borders illegally but are willing to do rugged farm work can apply for a work permit as long as they have a relative who is a U.S. citizen. The work permit must be renewed annually. After working for at least five years, a migrant worker can apply for legal citizenship.
But the road is hard for the Mexican migrants. Even though the temporary work permit lasts 12 months, the jobs do not. Many times the work is seasonal and migrants have to move from state to state to find work. If the migrants who are here were sent home instead of given a chance for residency, the U.S. economy would be hurt.
It is a tragedy that the working conditions of Mexican migrants are less than humane. To allow the Mexican migrants already working in the U.S. to at least petition for residency would be the first step towards mending the inhumane treatment of Mexican migrants.

The protest against the Kansan is not a Black versus White thing, but a protest for fair representation for everyone on this campus. I could care less who writes the articles as long as they report all the facts and do it fairly.
Black Student Union does not think that all White people are prejudiced. Whoever put that in the paper obviously has not been paying attention. We're upset with some editors at the Kansan, but nobody ever said that all White people were prejudiced.

Students jostled in snowy collision
Alternative break participants OK after car accident
By Amanda Beglin
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A two-car accident involving eight KU students last weekend failed to halt an alternative spring break trip to Salt Lake City.
The students, participants in the University's Alternative Spring Break program, were driving to Utah when a minivan collided with their Ford Excursion on Interstate 70 near Denver.
The driver of the minivan suffered a broken collarbone and his daughter, the front passenger, suffered cuts and bruises. Both were transported by ambulance to a Denver hospital and were released several hours later, according to site leader Chris Huskev. Dallas senior.
Huskey said that the students reported seat belt burns and soreness but were not injured.
"No one was hurt we were just nervous," Huskey said. "They checked us out in the ambulance. Everyone was OK."
The minivan, containing a St. Louis family en route to Breckenridge. Colo., was traveling
in front of the Excursion at 6:15 a.m.
Saturday, March 17, when it ran off
the right side of the road, Huskey
said.
"It was just beginning to snow," Huskey said. "The car ran off, corrected itself on the grass, sped up and got back on the pavement."
But when the van entered the interstate again, Huskey said, it collided with the right front end of the Excursion. The crash caused the Excursion to spin and collide with the back of the minivan as both vehicles slid into the median and came to a stop.
Huskey said a back window shattered during the crash, causing some luggage to spill onto the road. Huskey retrieved it and said neither car was in danger of being hit by oncoming traffic.
The students were transported by ambulance to a fire station in Bennett, Colo., just east of Denver, where they were treated to food, relaxation and television while ASB coordinators in Lawrence scrambled to find transportation to Utah for the students.
The students rented two Pontiac sedans to complete their travels and the Excursion wreckage was taken to an impound lot near Denver.
The cars were due back to the Denver rental agency by 6 p.m. Friday, so the students stayed overnight in a Denver church and rode a Greyhound bus back to Lawrence.

The Red Cross also alided the group-in-waiting while drawing raves from participant Craig Bennett and site leaders Huskey and Sarah Shik, Overland Park junior.
"We were really in a bind," Bennett said. "They gave us food and vouchers for our cab ride to the dealership."
Six of the eight students were awakened by the crash, and they were divided about continuing their trip.
A tab at Denny's restaurant and a hotel room in Denver were also provided, they said.
Bennett said the group had several discussions the night of the crash to decide which direction to drive on I-70 — west toward Utah or east toward Kansas. Jostled but rested, the group continued west.
Some students, including Shik.
admitted to being shaken by the accident, but all now agree that boarding a bus back to Lawrence afterward would have been admitting defeat.
"I'm surprised we continued, but I'm glad we did," Shik said. "I saw the car go off the road and come back on, and I was pretty shocked that it hit us. But that next day, driving out
of Denver, it was so beautiful."
Bennett said the group "did a lot of good" in Salt Lake City last week.
"We planted 300 trees with the
"We planted 300 trees with the help of elementary school kids," Bennett said. "We planted wildflowers in a city park before the park's dedication, and planted some flowers in the Salt Lake City visitor's center. It was an awesome experience. I'm glad we went."
Bennett said as the group discussed their alternative spring break over lunch in Colby on Friday, they all agreed that the accident didn't overshadow the trip's highlights.
"Instead of ruining our trip, it really brought us together," Bennett said. "It was all worth it."
Eric Snider, Wichita senior and site leader for ASB's El Paso trip, said the program was not responsible for the damage that occurred in the accident.
"Of course there's a risk when you get into a car," he said. "We plan for the worst, so we have collision insurance."

Kansas coach Roy Williams watches as the game — and the season — comes to a close. This is the fifth time a Kansas team coached by Williams has lost in the Sweet Sixteen. During Williams' tenure as Kansas' coach, the team has been invited to the NCAA tournament every season except Williams' first season at Kansas in 1988-1989.

Kansas fans visit hot city, see cold team
Padre Island, Cancun, Las Vegas,
Davon, Ohio.
Hmm, three of four destinations sounded spectacular for my first spring break to somewhere not in Kansas. The fourth possibility was the only one I had in mind. Sure, the Wright brothers were born there, but this spot wouldn't fly for most students.
The new additions will help make Spring Break 2002 more enjoyable for those wanting to follow the Jayhawks. But for some of us, it will be called vacation from work.
But having Kansas play in not-so-warm Dayton was reason enough to visit. Unfortunately, at the time, tickets weren't available. My last resort was the Cal-State Northridge ticket office. The clerk asked if I was a Matador fan. I responded with a politician's answer: "I'm from the Lawrence area," hoping there was a Lawrence, Calif. If I would have said I were a Cal-State fan, I was expecting a Matador quiz I wasn't prepared for. Still, I was put on a list and later told all tickets were sold.
But after disposing of Cal-State Northridge and Syracuse, the much more attractive venue of San Antonio became a possibility in the latter portion of break. The Alamo, Riverwalk and 80-degree temperatures indicated better things come to those who wait. Well, except for the main objective — watching Kansas play basketball.
As hot as the Jayhawks were in Dayton, they ended the season in miserable fashion. Kansas appeared to be off and running, leading 4-0 and threatening to score more after Kirk Hinrich stole the ball. But he was stripped of the ball, maybe more, but no foul was called.
The 'Hawks never had momentum after that. That nice run midway through the first half was encouraging, but Illinois answered and maintained its lead in the second half.
Leavenworth product Wayne Simien should complement Collison and Drew Gooden, and Aaron Miles, Simien's McDonald's All-American teammate, will make the Kansas backcourt stronger. Keith Langford and Michael Lee also bring in strong perimeter shooting.
it looked as though the physical Illini would all foul out and Kansas could capitalize, but although Brian Cook, Marcus Griffin and Damir Carupalija fouled out for Illinois, Hinrich and Nick Collison followed suit. Sure, calls were questionable, most vividly Hinrich's foul in a loose ball tussle with Frank Williams, but the team that had endured a gradually smaller lineup and some bickering couldn't handle Illinois.
Not sweet enough:
Kansas fans came in droves to San Antonio, but it wasn't supposed to end in an 80-64 loss. Collison's 23 points were overshadowed by dismal 6-of-14 free-throw shooting; Jeff Boschee had three points, and Eric Chenowith's record-filled career at Kansas had no points in its finale.
While coming from the Jayhawks' pep rally near St. Anthony's Hotel, a San Antonian dressed in an impressive Dudley Brothers shirt and having maybe just a little too much to drink yelled "Illinois by 10." I didn't think his prediction would be remotely correct.
It could be worse. The Jayhawks could have lost to Baylor and Hampton to the season as Big 12 Conference champion Iowa State did. The only thing stranger was Bobby Knight taking a job in west Texas.
The Jayhawks possessed the only glimmer of hope for a conference that seems to be absent in the late stages of the NCAA Tournament far too often. The Big 12 women had slightly better success, sending four teams to the Sweet Sixteen, but none advanced any further.
Kansas' ability to change the pattern rests now on new recruits. Kenny Gregory's distinct ability to dunk, score on put-backs, and jump oh-so-high won't be replaced, but new ingredients should build a depleted squad.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The blank stare on Nick Collison's face after fourth-seeded Kansas' 80-64 season-end loss to to-seeded Illinois said it all.

The Jayhawks (26-7) were stunned by their sloppy play and sickly free-throw shooting and saw their first Sweet 16 trip since 1997 end earlier than they wanted. Nothing bounced the right way for Kansas in the Midwest Regional Semifinal, and who better than Collison to explain that
He was Kansas at its best and at its worst Friday night in the Alamodome.
Collision sparkled from the field. He drained eight-of-11 shots and, at one point, scored nine straight points for Kansas, bringing the 'Hawks within five in the second half. He also sank his lone three-pointer that closed a later gap to six points.
He tore down seven rebounds and was the only Kansas big man who could match the muscle power of Illinois' Sergio McClain, Lucas Johnson and Marcus Griffin.
He was also overcome by Kansas' coldness.
Collision sank just six of his 14 free throws and, as a team, the Jayhawks missed 17 of their 35 shots from the stripe. "I just wasn't following through," Collison said of his misses. "I was trying to make them all."
Free throws weren't the only bad bounces the Jayhawks got against the Illini (27-7), either. They had trouble dribbling and passing during much of the first half because Big 10 Conference player of the year Frank Williams worked well at pestering Kansas point guard Kirk Hinrich. Williams forced Hinrich to turn the ball over five times in the first half as the Jayhawks dug a 41-29 halftime deficit.
"Even the baskets we were getting, we had to fight so hard to get them," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "Defensively, they're good."
"You take their talent there, and put
with it the fact that we weren't very sharp, and that makes for an ugly game. And yet, gosh, we hung in there. The kids, they were trying."
Try as they might, the 'Hawks never had a handle on the game. Much of that was
because of Frank Williams' timely play. Williams scored a game-high 30 points — the most by a Jayhawk opponent all season. He had three steals, three assists and hit three-pointers that killed Kansas comebacks.
"They really got after us," said Kansas forward Kenny Gregory. "It was their type of game — physical. We couldn't even

Bears maul'Hawks, sweep series
'Hawks in last place after weekend losses
By Ryan Malashock

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team hit rock bottom this weekend.
No. 16 Baylor capped its three-game sweep of Kansas with a 7-4 victory against the Jayhawks yesterday at Hogland Ballpark. Along with their 11-2 victory on Friday and 12-0 pounding Saturday, the Bears dropped Kansas' conference record to 2:10—placing the 'Hawks in last place in the Big 12 Conference.
The Bears amassed 30 runs and 86 hits off the Kansas pitching staff in the three games. Baylor catcher Kelly Shoppack said the Bears' offense was due for a breakout series.
15
"This team has the potential to win the conference, but we needed to bust out offensively," said Shoppach, who leads the Big 12 with a 480 batting average. "We got a lot of confidence back this weekend."
Kansas' best performance came in yesterday's game. But the Jayhawks (14-14) spotted Baylor (21-8 and 9-3) five runs in the first innning, and those were all the runs the Bears would need.
Baylor third baseman Matt Williams capped a remarkable hitting weekend with a three-run home run in the first. Williams finished the three-game set going 9-for-13 with four doubles, three home runs, and 10 RBI.
Kansas starting pitcher, junior Doug Lantz,
recovered after the first inning and gave the
Jayhawks nine strong innings, striking out a
career-high 10 batters. Kansas coach Bobby
Randall was pleasantly shocked by Lantz' performance.
Randall reflected on Kansas' 12-0 blowout loss Saturday against Baylor and said he was partially to blame.
"Doug was so tough today." Randall said. "The only guy who thought Doug could last nine innings today was Doug, and that says a lot about him."
"We just didn't show up to play today, and that's my fault as a coach," Randall said. "I told our guys after the game that we've got to work hard every day to be a great baseball team. It's a never-uuit deal."
Junior third baseman Ryan Kloksien recorded all four of Kansas' RBI yesterday with a second-inning two-run home run and an eighth-inning two-RBI double.

Williams continued his torid battering of Jayhawk pitching by going 3-for-4 with a double, home run and three RBI.
Williams started the weekend strong in the Bears' victory Friday. Williams smacked four extra-base-hits — three doubles and a home run — and drove in four runs, leading
Baylor's 14-hit attack. Baylor pitchers Josh Scott and Paul Throp combined on the shutout.
Kansas baseball notes:
Including the three weekend losses to Baylor, Kansas finished its spring break string of games 3-4. The Jayhawks defeated
Eastern Michigan twice and Southwest Missouri State, and lost to Michigan.
Randall announced last week that junior outfielder/first baseman Justin Davis left the team because of a lack of playing time.

Track teams triumph at Oklahoma State
By Michael Sudhalter
Kansan sportswriter
Several Kansas athletes performed successfully at the Oklahoma State Duels, as the Kansas track and field team began its outdoor season Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.
Senior Andy Tate won the 3,000-meter (8:39.09) and the 1,500-meter (3:55.06) events. Tate said the Oklahoma State meet was good preparation for both the Texas and Kansas Relays in April.
Kansas competed against Oklahoma State, Tulsa and a series of community colleges.
"I just wanted to get an idea of where I was in my training," Tate said. "This was more of an exaggerated workout for me."
In the pole vault, Kansas junior Jeremy Hull won with a 15-0 jump while freshman Ty Williams placed second with a 14-6. Junior Ryan Speers won the shot put with a 57-3 throw and finished second in the discus with a heave of 149-11.
Jayhawk long jumpers sophomore Anson Jackson and junior Jereme Jackson had another one-two finish while sophomore Benaud Shirley won the triple jump event.
Other top finishers for Kansas were
junior Pete Prince, first in the 3,000-meter steeplechase; junior Brian Blachly, third in the 1,500; senior Eric Patterson, second in 110-meter hurdles; and Alex Thomas, third in discus.
On the women's side, junior Jennifer Foster won both the shot put (44 1/2) and the discus (141-0). Junior Andrea Bulat won the javelin event with a 139-4 toss and senior Andrea Branson won the pole vault with a 10-0 vault.
Sophomore Sarah Schraeder finished first in the high jump with a 5-4 effort. Both the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams won their relays while junior Katy Eisenmenger (1,500 meters), freshman Abby Nielsen (100 meter hurdles).
sophomore Robbie Harriford (100 meter dash) and sophomore Eve Lamborn (3,000 meters) finished second in their events. Kansas track notes:
Kansas will compete next in the Texas Relays April 4-7 in Austin, Texas.
Coach Stanley Redwine decided to redshirt seniors Charlie Gruber, Jabarl Wamble, Andy Morris and Scott Russell for the 2001 outdoor season.
"I think these athletes could definitely use an extra year of development and I think they will be much better this time next year," Redwine said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 26). You're impetuous at first, but reality slows you down. That's OK. You'll go further at a steady pace. You're setting speed records in April, then jogging along in May. You know everything in June, or where to find it. Use this knowledge in July, in a private setting. Love is nearby in August, and commitment is required. You want to play in September, but work brings in the bounty. Save enough for yourself in November. In December, spend enough to reach your destination. Tighten your belt to fund a dream in February. Take time to smell the roses in March.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day,
0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 9 — Adapt your orbit so that you start circling closer to Earth. You may soon have to land this craft and take care of practical matters. But before that happens, you and your teammates have one more shot at glory. Aim carefully to make your efforts really count.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Behind-the-scenes negotiations could lead to an excellent deal — or two. A friend may be in on the scheme, but you don't need to broadcast your intentions. Keep your negotiations quiet until after you've gobbled up all the best bargains.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7 —
Your friends will spur you to new heights, if you'll
let them. Go ahead and try something outrageous
on a dare. No guts, no glory! But wear your safety
helmet.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6 — An older person, your teacher or boss, keeps piling on the work. You'd like to complain, but that's not a good plan. Kick yourself into a higher gear instead. You may be amazed at how much you can do when you set your mind to it.
Leo [July 23-Aug. 22] — Today is an 8 —
This should be part of your three-day weekend.
You're nowhere near ready to settle down yet. The call of the wild is still ringing in your ears. If you're working a regular job, stifle! On the other hand,
why are you still working a regular job?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 —
You're pretty good at sorting, filing and keeping things in rows. You may even be able to read a column of numbers as if they were words on a page. It's a natural talent of yours, and today it will come in handy.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6 —
An opinionated person has all the answers, but you can teach this person a thing or two. Don't bicker over the major points; coach your friend on the nuances of a convincing delivery. He or she has a tendency to come on too strong.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6 — You may feel as if all the burdens of the world have been heaped upon you. Life isn't fair, as you well know, so don't whimper. Shoulder the load and press onward.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — You'd like to stay home today to cuddle with your sweetheart. Playing with the kids would also be loads of fun, and you'll probably win every game. Enjoy, because there won't be as much slack tomorrow.
P
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — You could get the overwhelming urge to rearrange your furniture. You may even want to throw it all out and buy new furniture. How long has it been since you've done that? Not that you ever would, of course. But you might get a couple of new pieces on sale.
TWO TOWNS
LEO
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 —
A very intelligent woman can help you solve the
riddle. She's not very far away from you, either.
She may even be a close relative. The hardest part
will be admitting that she knows something you
don't.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6 — You could get that raise you're after, or the better job. It doesn't necessarily mean there's more work involved, but that doesn't mean things will be easy Getting past your own doubts is your first assignment. After that, it's all downhill.

'Hawks sweep series against Longhorns
The Jayhawks overcame a two-run first inning deficit and defeated Texas 6-3 at Jayhawk Field yesterday, completing a two-game series sweep.
Kansas sophomore pitcher Kirsten Milhoan (5-6) earned the win for the 'Hawks, allowing three runs on seven hits in six-plus innings of work. Kansas junior catcher Leah Tabb went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI.
"We sweep of Texas here two years ago really propelled us to a strong finish, so a coach can hope this will do the same kind of thing for us this season," said Kansas coach Tracy Bunge.
The Longhoms came out firing in the first and scored two runs in the opening frame on a two-RBI double by catcher Marlo Hanks. Kansas answered with two runs in the bottom half of the inning and tied the score at 2-2.
In the second inning, Kansas senior Erin Ganvey started a two-out rally when she was hit by a pitch from Natalie King. Kansas junior Megan Urquhart followed with a walk. Both players moved into scoring position on a wild pitch, then Tabb delivered with a base hit through the left side, scoring Garvey and Urquhart.
Kansas (14-15 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12 Conference) added a run in the third inning and one more in the fourth as the Jawhaws built a 6-2 lead.
The Longhorns (17-17 and O-2) struck back with a run in the fifth on a solo homer by Deeanna Williams and made things interesting in the seventh, loading the bases with no outs. Kansas freshman pitcher Kara Pierce, inserted in relief of Milhoan, quickly extinguished any Texas hopes as she retired the next three batters in order and earned her second save.
Kansas takes a break from Big 12 action with a doubleheader against Missouri-Kansas City on Tuesday at Jayhawk Field.
Monica Sekulov led the way for No. 48 Kansas at No. 1 singles as she upset No. 46 irina Tereschenko, 6-4, 6-4. It marked the second time this season Sekulov has defeated a Top 50 opponent.
LAUDERGAN LLP
The Kansas women's tennis team completed a 2-0 road trip by knocking off Texas Tech, 5-2, on Saturday afternoon in Lubbock, Texas.
Cheryl and Lisa Mallaiah also were victorious in singles play for the Jawahires, with Cheryl Mallaiah winning 7-6, 60 at No. 2 singles against Barbara Schraml. Lisa Mallaiah followed that with a 64, 6-3 decision against Texas Tech's Sonia Orrellana at the No. 4 position. Christi Wagenaar and Emily Haylock completed the singles domination, each winning at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Kansas rebounded from losing the doubles point and won five of six singles matches, upping its record 10-6 overall and 4-3 in the Big 12 Conference. Texas Tech dropped to 6-6 and 2-5.
Kansas will next be in action when it plays host to Big 12 foe Colorado Sunday.

NCAA BASKETBALL
Xavier is making waves in the NCAA women's basketball tournament by relying on all of its players. Southwest Missouri State is relying on one.
Three surprise teams look to make Final Four
And Washington? Few thought the Huskies had much of anything to rely on.
All three have been postseason surprises. None is seeded higher than fourth, yet here they are, one victory from going to the Final Four.
Sixth-seeded Washington will face fifth-seeded Southwest Missouri State and
Washington's Megan Franza said.
Washington (22-9) advanced by beat-

Duke became the second No.1 seed eliminated from the tournament. Xavier ousted the other, beating Tennessee 80-65 in the Mideast Regional at Birmingham, Ala. The fourth-seeded Musketeers (31-2) play third-seeded Purdue (29,6). the 1999 national champion. Monday night.
Defending national champion Connecticut (31-2), the No. 1 seed, plays third-seeded Louisiana Tech (31-4) in the East Regional final at Pittsburgh. It will be the 16th regional final for Tech and the seventh in 11 years for UConn.
Top-seeded Notre Dame (31-2) play third-seeded Vanderbilt (24-9) for the Midwest title at Denver. Both have one Final Four appearance.
The two other regionals are left with more traditional names.
Roddick bests Sampras meets expectations
TENNIS
KEY BISCANYNE, Fa. — Andy Roddick lived up to the hype and hopes for the next generation of American men's tennis yesterday, upsetting defending champion Pete Sampras 7-6 (7-2), 6 in the third round at the Encscon Open.
It was the biggest win yet for the 18-year-old Roddick, the world's No. 1 junior last year. He beat 1998 champion Marco Rios in the second round and will play Andrei Pavel next.
SCORPIUS
Roddick dominated Sampars with his blistering serve, facing only one break point, and returned well enough to keep pressure on Sampars throughout.
When the fourth-seeded Sampras dumped a backhand into the net on match point, Roddick pumped his fists,
waved his index finger and removed his cap as he shook Sampras' hand, Roddick is ranked No. 1,19 but has been touted as America's best hope among a teen-ege continger that also includes Marbled Fish and Taylor Dent.
In other men's play, No. 5 Yevgeny Kafelnikov was upset by Gaston Guadio of Argentina 6-4, 6-1. Kafelnikov has never reached the quarterfinals at Key Biscayne.
Andre Assgali won another All-American intergenerational showdown Saturday night, beating 19-year-old Dent 64, 62.
BOXING
De La Hoya, who has won titles in four weight classes, will challenge Javier Castillee of Spain for the WBC super wetweight (154 pounds) title June 9.
Gatti throws in towel against De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS — Oscar De La Haoya stopped Arduino Gatto in the fifth round Saturday. It was De La Haoya's first fight in nine months.
De La Hoya, who lost the WBC wetterweight title to Shane Mosley last June 17, weighed in officially at the wetter-weight limit of 147 pounds for Saturday's fight.
De La Hoya had won 34 of 36 fights before Saturday night. The two losses were on close decisions to Felix Trinidad and Mosley, two of the best fighters in the world. Rematches against Trinidad and Mosley are among De La Hoya's goals, but he said Castillejo was the only one on his mind right now.
Against Gatti, who stayed in front of him and tried to trade blows, De La Hoya threw three right hands and blows to the body than he usually does.
When De La Hoya had Gatti reeling from a barrage of punches, Gatti's corner threw a towel into the ring and trainer Hector Roca began to climb through the ropes. Referee Jay Nady then stopped the fight at 1:16 of the fifth round.

Arizona grabs spot in Final Four
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — They've put the distractions behind and lived up to their preseason No. 1 status for months. Now Arizona is headed to the Final Four.
Gilbert Arenas scored 18 of his 21 points in the first half and Arizona gave Illinois as much of a pounding as they took, carrying Arizona and coach Lute Olson into the Final Four with an 87-81 victory in the Midwest Regional final yesterday.
Arizona (27-7) upheld the honor of the Pac-10 Conference, which saw Stanford and Southern Cal get bumped in regional finals Saturday. The Wildcats are the conference's first team to make the Final Four since 1998, when Stanford did it.
Back in October, the Wildcats were talking about not just winning the title, but being among the best teams of all time.
Then came the trouble: center Loren Woods suspended for six games to start the season, a one-game suspension for Richard Jefferson, and the death of Olson's wife, Bobbi.
Another problem was selfishness among a starting lineup that featured five candidates for player of the year honors. This game showed how far they've come.

Wright inside, Arizona kept the ball outside. On defense, Arizona shed its soft label and played as aggressively inside as any team the Illini saw in the Big Ten.
But Illinois' hard work in the paint paid off and midway through the second half a layup by Robert Archibald, who had a career-high 25 points, put the Illini up 56-54, their biggest胜 of the game.
It didn't last long, though.
Archibald fouled Luke Walton on the other end and his two free throws tied the game.
After Marcus Griffin missed the front end of a one-and-one, Woods put Arizona ahead for good, 58-56, with his first basket, a meek two-footer that bounced several times on the rim before falling through.
The Wildcats kept rolling for a 10-0 run that stretched the lead to 64-56. Griffin and Brian Cook fouled out for the Illini in that span, which Jason Gardner capped with an NBA three-point shot and a pair of free throws.
Illinois came as close as 84-81 in
the closing seconds, but Gardner and Woods buried three foul shots to seal Arizona's second victory over Illinois in three games this season.
This was the most physical of the three with the teams combining for 59 fouls and 81 free throws. The Wildcats took the most, hitting 43 of 56. Six Illini players fouled out.
Arenas, who had 13 points on 6-of-23 shooting in two previous games against the Illini, made 7-of-10 in the first half and the Wildcats hit 56 percent of their shots. He missed all three of his second-half shots.
Instead, Woods came through, scoring 16 of his points in the second half. He was 3-of-3 from the field and 12-of-13 from the line. Gardner also had 18.
Illinois' Cory Bradford bounced back from a wretched 1-for-13 game in the regional semifinals to hit 8-of-14 shots including 6-of-11 3-pointers. He scored 25 points.
Illinois was trying to get back to the Final Four for the first time since 1989. The loss also prevented a second straight Big Ten Conference showdown in the national semifinals. Michigan State beat Wisconsin last year.
Michigan State beat Temple 69-62 yesterday, winning the South Regional. The Spartans will meet the Wildcats on Saturday in Minneapolis. Saturday's other match-up in the
Saturday's other match-up in the Final Four will pit ACC-rivals Duke against Maryland.

Continued from page 1B get passes off at times."
The Illini tossed and out-tussled the Kansas front line and rendered Kansas center Eric Chenowith and forward Drew Gooden virtually helpless at times. Entry passes were batted down and Gooden had four turnovers, partially thanks to Illinois' 11 steals. Chenowith played just 22 minutes and was held scoreless in his final game as a Javhawk.
The more physical Fighting Illini manhandled and outmuscled the Kansas front for a 36-24 scoring advantage in the paint. Meanwhile, starters Brian Cook, Marcus Griffin and reserve Damir Krupalija all fouled out and Robert Archibald had four fouls for Illinois' front line.
"They were getting good pressure on the ball because they're a strong team and they're athletic." Collison said. "They were just making it hard for us to get the ball where we wanted."
By the time the Jayhawks regained their composure, they were down by 14 points and it was almost too late. They closed the gap to six points for much of

Griffin and Johnson each had intentional fouls in the final minutes, but Kansas never capitalized. Collison missed all four throws, and the 'Hawks didn't score on the ensuing possessions either and were soon bumped from the NCAA Tournament.

Gooden may be gone for good
The sophomore forward said Friday that he was not sure whether he would leave Kansas for the NBA after leading the Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding with 15.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game as a sophomore.
"I'll have to talk it over with my family and with Coach (Roy) Williams and see (what my draft stock is)." Gooden said. "I'll set up a press conference with sports information in a week or two and make an announcement."

Training helps Kansas defeat Texas at opener
By Jay Mullinix
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Although many students left town as soon as they could with the start of spring break, the Kansas women's rowing team had to wait until Saturday for their first chance to get out of Lawrence.
After spending March 17-21 completing its annual spring training session in Lawrence, the team headed south to square off with Texas at Town Lake in Austin.
The Jayhawks put in a solid performance in their opening regatta of the 2001 season, defeating the Longhorns in four of the seven races.
The First Novice Eight won their race with a time of 6 minutes, 51.3 seconds, while the Second Varsity Eight A team won with a 7.01.1 time. The Jayhawks also won in the Varsity Four with a 7:46.2, and in the Novice Four A with a 9:00.2.
Texas, however, took the First Varsity Eight race and defeated the Jayhawks in the Second Novice Eight and the Novice Four B races as well.
Coach Rob Catloth said he thought the regatta went well and that he was pleased with the team's performance in
the majority of the races.
"Being our season opener, I think it was a good race," he said. "I'd say that we rowed well as a whole, and we saw a lot of good things."
However, the fact that the First Varsity Eight failed to win their race seemed to dampen the overall feeling of victory.
"I was disappointed with the First Varsity Eight," Catthoth said. "I expected a better showing out of them. They'll have to race better and faster than they did today."
Assistant coach Heather Gavin acknowledged the sub par performance but insisted that with the youth and potential of that boat, such outputs will quickly become things of the past.
"We know we've got the speed and power in the First Varsity Eight boat, we've just got to race our ability on race day," she said. "That boat is very young, though, and we know that it will only get better as the season progresses."
The Jayhawks will now turn their attention to preparing for their return to the water this Saturday. The team will host the Jayhawk Invitational, which will include Kansas State, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts and Tulsa in two-day event on the Kansas River.

LOS ANGELES - Gladiator won five Academy Awards yesterday, including best picture, sound, costume design, visual effects and best actor Russell Crowe.
Following Gladiator was Traffic with four awards, including Soderbergh's, supporting actor for Benicio Del Toro, adapted screenplay by Stephen Gaghan and film editing.
foreign language film, art direction, cinematography and original score.
Steven Soderbergh did what observers felt was impossible: He won best director for *Traffic* even though people felt he would split the vote by being nominated for *Erin Brockovich*.
"It takes a lot of people to make a Colosseum, but it only takes one or two to mess it up," said Douglas Wick, a Gladiator producer. "To all the wizards who brought to life the sights, sounds and citizens of a faraway world, we should take a chisel to this statue and give you your fair share."

and said, "This is quite pretty."
"Really folks, I owe this to one bloke, and his name is Ridley Scott," Crowe said of his director.
Marcia Gay Harden, who played the long-suffering wife of artist Jackson Pollock in Pollock, won best supporting actress.
The show began from orbit as astronaut Susen Helms, with fellow crew members of the International Space Station floating by her side, introduced first-time host Steve Martin.
Because Pollock had little theater exposure, Harden was considered a longshot. Judi Dench of Chocolat and Kate Hudson of Almost Famous were thought to be more likely.
"Ed Harris, thank you for inviting me to share your passion," she said to her director, who also played the title role.
Del Toro, the honest Tijuana detective, thanked his director, Soderbergh, and others connected with his movie while Harden noted that few people had seen *Pollock* because it opened in theaters the same week as the Oscar nominations, and thanked the voters for taking the time to review the video-tapes made available to them.
"By the way, that introduction cost the government $1 trillion," Martin quipped to the glittering Shrine Auditorium throng.

KU student fights disease with new drug therapy
By Livi Regenbaum
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Jared Brandon has decided to undergo a new drug treatment instead of getting a bone marrow transplant.
Brandon, Overland Park senior, who suffers from aplastic anemia, a potentially fatal, noncontagious bone marrow failure disease, said he wanted to avoid a bone marrow transplant by sticking to ATG treatments for a cure.
ATG, or ante lymphotic globulin, is a new drug treatment plan and Brandon's only alternative to a bone marrow transplant.
"I'd rather not have a bone marrow transplant," he said. "It is kind of a last resort to do a bone marrow test."
?
Brandon said he preferred the ATG treatment because it could be done again if it failed, whereas a bone-marrow transplant could only be given once.
Brandon: wants to avoid a bone marrow transplant
Paul Walker, Merriam senior and Brandon's friend, said Brandon was feeling better since the treatments.
"He is more active," Walker said. "The medication seems to be working. It is improving his blood levels, but it is not a cure yet."
Delva Deauna-Limayo, the staff physician at the University of Kansas Medical Center who oversees Brandon's treatment, said she was waiting to see if the ATG treatments worked.
Deauna-Limayo said it could take one to three months to know if the ATG treatment would keep Brandon from having to get blood transfusions.
"ATG actually gives a 50 percent chance that he will be transfusion independent," she said.
Since being on the medication, Brandon said his white blood cell counts had increased.
"I am feeling a lot better," he said.
"This last week my numbers have gone up. They aren't normal, but they are the highest they've ever been."
Shellie Brandon, Jared's adoptive mother, said she was cautiously optimistic about his treatment. Brandon goes twice a week to the Med Center for blood work, where staff members monitor his red and white blood cells.
"Jared has been out of the hospital for nine days, and he hasn't had to have red blood cells or platelets replaced in the last nine days," she said.
Although a bone marrow transplant is Brandon's last choice, his mother is organizing a bone marrow registry on MAY 12 from 9 to 5 p.m. at El Centro, a community outreach center at 290 S. 10th St. in Kansas City, Kan.
"He is able to move around more," he said. "His spirits are a lot better. Jared is not like the guy who can sit around doing nothing all day. He's got to be doing something."
Brandon, who is Hispanic, has had a hard time finding a match on the Heart of America Bone Marrow Registry because there aren't as many minorities on the registry, Shellie Brandon said.
She said Brandon's birth mother was willing to be tested for a bone marrow match.
Since his condition was diagnosed, Brandon has withdrawn from classes, but plans to return this fall. In the meantime, he and a friend have opened a painting company in town.
Steve Gatzoulis, Mission senior, said that Brandon's spirits were up and that Brandon was regaining energy and keeping active.

Leadership minor in works
University to offer program for leaders
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Next fall University of Kansas students will have the opportunity to learn to be leaders — and they will earn college credit as they do it.
The department of communication studies is planning to offer a minor in leadership. Students interested in the minor can pick up an application at 3006 Wesco Hall.
Each semester, 30 students will be accepted into the program. Acceptance into the program will depend on several factors,
including leadership experience and grades, said Paul Friedman, associate professor of communications studies and chair of the Leadership Minor Advisory Committee.
The 19-credit hour minor includes courses in ethics, community development and culture.
Friedman said instruction in the classes would be nontraditional and would include interactive activities and collaboration with other campus programs. He said many of the classes offered in the minor would be taught to small groups of 12 to 15 students
Laura Rupe, Nunemaker student senator for freshmen and sophomores, said she was very interested in the minor, which has a prerequisite of 28 completed credit hours.
"I think it's an excellent idea," Rupe said. She said she hoped the program would
improve her leadership skills and provide more real-world experience.
"It says you want to be a leader in your community." she said.
Friedman said this minor would benefit students.
Although not listed in the course catalog, the first course in the minor — introduction to leadership studies — will be offered this fall. Three sessions will be offered from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and 3 to 4 p.m. on Thursdays.
"People can be very knowledgeable, but not be skillful at the process of leadership," Friedman said. "Because leadership is so important, there are a lot of ideas and tactics out there that would be useful to students."
The program will also require students to spend more than 200 hours participating in leadership activities, donating time to a

service organization and doing an internship as part of the service learning practicum course.
Friedman said he had already received positive feedback about the program from students.
"We're still kind of in the planning stages, but I've heard a lot of interest so far," he said.
Doing time
Volunteer just visiting county jail
Library work counts for community service class
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A beautiful memory
of a wonderful day
and a great book
that I had to share.
While her classmates volunteer in organizations like Big Brothers, Big Sisters for their community service class, Vikkie Strahm decided she wanted to log her hours volunteering at the Douglas County Jail.
"I knew it was going to be uncomfortable, but that's kind of why I did it. I wanted something different, something to get used to," said Strahm, Sabeth sophomore.
Between a couple of steel-barred windows, Vikkie Strahm, Sabeth sophomore, shelves a handful of books at the Douglas County Jail's library. Strahm volunteers as the jail's librarian to complete credit hours for her human development and family life class. Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN
She said she could volunteer anywhere her hours could be monitored to complete her 33 required hours for human development and family life 337, a course that explores volunteering and community service.
Before she could begin volunteering at the jail, she had to tour the jail and attend an orientation session "to talk about how the inmates may treat you and how much you should or shouldn't tell them about yourself." Every time she goes to volunteer, she surrenders her license and signs in. If she's brought a purse, it must be locked up in the lockers.
Strahm said she had initially wanted to lead a Bible study with female inmates, but that did not work out between scheduling and needing a partner with whom she could lead the study. So she now spends three hours a week volunteering in the jail's library.
Strahm is also helping Mike Caron, program director for the Douglas County Jail, by compiling weekly statistics for each volunteer program. She compiles statistics on how many hours per week, month and year inmates spend in the programs such as yoga, Bible studies and other scheduled events.
Caron said he wanted to document how many disciplinary reports are filed while inmates are in the programs to determine if there is a correlation between the programs and the atmospheres of the pods, where
the inmates live. When officers have fewer inmates to supervise in the pod because some are participating in volunteer programs, it lowers the stress level and improves the atmosphere of the pod. Caron said.
Caron said Strahm's help at the jail was working out well. He said he had quite a few volunteers affiliated with the University, but none who had
volunteered for a community service class.
"She's the first person who's come in and said, 'I have three hours to volunteer. How can you use me?" Caron said.
For Strahm, the experience has expanded how she views the world.
"It's helped me to look at people in a different way," Strahm said. "Not just inmates, but
anybody who has done something wrong in the past."
She said she hoped that she would not pay as much attention to stereotypes after volunteering in the jail.
"Just because they screwed up doesn't mean they can't get out and be as successful as any other person," she said.

Writing Center sees jump in visitation
By Cassio Furtedo
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Spring semester has 36 percent increase
More students are getting help with their term papers and essays this year, said Michele Eodice, director of the KU Writing Center.
The center has experienced a 36 percent increase in the number of students assisted during the first six weeks of the semester compared with last spring. Edodes said.
The center assisted a total of 1,050 students last spring, including 308 in the first six weeks. It has already assisted 420 students in this semester's first six weeks, which ended March 4.
Eodice said that writing centers at almost all universities didn't attract as many students during spring semesters as fall semesters. She said more students came in the fall because freshmen sought assistance and because of the work the center did during orientation to publicize itself to incoming students. The center assisted more than 2,000 students last fall.
"It's part of the transition process," Odice said.
She said the center tried to encourage students to look for help by asking their teachers to encourage visits, by going to classes and explaining the activities of the center and providing teachers with information on the center that they could
"Writing is everywhere. We want everyone to recognize
yone to recognize that."

include on their syllabuses.
She said that as a result of the center's actions, it had seen a positive response from students.
"Most people don't come because they're told to come in," Eodice said. "We'd like students to choose to come in."
Eodice said the Writing Center had taken steps to increase the number of students visiting during the spring, including an
increase in staffing for its two most visible sites - Wesco Hall and Watson Library.
"Our mission was to become very visible on campus," she said. "Writing is everywhere. We want everyone to recognize that."
Elizabeth Johnson, Leavenworth junior, said she was reluctant to visit the center when she first arrived on campus, but she soon realized that it played an important role in helping to improve students' writing.
"I come all the time," Johnson said. Johnson is currently enrolled in a class taught by Eodice that teaches students how to be a writing tutor.
Akshaya Amin, Pune, India, freshman, said he visited the center periodically looking for help with his English papers.
"It has made a big difference," he said.

Local teens arrested after car break-ins
Lawrence police believe two juvenile males are responsible for breaking into 14 vehicles during the weekend, Sgt. Mike Pattrick said. One of the vehicles belonged to a KU employee.
A 14-year-old and a 15-year-old were arrested and placed in the Juvenile Detention Center early Saturday morning after police found them near property stolen from the vehicles, Patrick said.
He said a resident called the police about someone breaking into a car, and police were dispatched at 2:07 a.m.
While police interviewed the resident, other officers patrolled the area and found the two juveniles.
The stolen property ranged from stereos and CDs to a tire gauge and steering wheel cover.
Cars were burglarized in the 2700 blocks of Harper Street, Fenwick Road, Lankford Drive, Rawhide Lane and Bishop Street and the 2900 block of Lankford Drive.

STATE
TOPEKA — Suicides among Kansas teens and young adults increased during the 1990s, a new state report shows.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported a 32 percent increase in suicides among people aged 15 to 24 from 1989 to 1998. But that figure reflects a relatively small number of people — 47 suicides in 1989, compared with 62 in 1998.
This is the first time the state has made such a detailed report on suicides.
The suicide increase for people 15 to 24 topped the list of age groups. Suicides increased 23 percent among 35- to 44-year-olds.
In 1998 the leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds was unintentional injuries, which made up 47 percent of total deaths within that age group. Suicides were next at 18 percent.
"We think this is an important first step," KDHE spokesman Mike Heideman said. "Now, researchers can draw conclusions and look for wavs to reverse the trend."
Kansas suicide rates are increasing as rates nationally are decreasing, according to the report. As a whole, Kansas' rate increased by 2.6 percent from 1997 to 1998, while the United States' rate dropped 1.9 percent.
NATION
KANSAS CITY, Mo. President Bush's chief spokesman said yesterday the United States is "in the middle of an economic downturn," setting the stage for a new push by the White House to sell the president's roadmap to recovery: major tax cuts and budget restraints.
Slow economy helps sell Bush's tax cut proposal
"The debate no longer is whether we're going to have tax relief," Bush said at a greeting card business, opening a two-day, three-state trip designed to court wavering Democrats. "It is how much money we're going to pass back to the people and how quickly."
Bush and his staff were laying the groundwork for what they called a major speech today in Michigan, in which the president planned to describe the country's economic situation and review his plans to improve it.
"There is no dispute that we are in an economic downturn now."
"The president knows we're in the middle of an economic downturn but he has faith that the long-term strength of the economy is solid," representative Ari Fleischer told reporters aboard Air Force One.
Most economists do not agree, noting that the economy has been growing less rapidly but not turning downward as in a recession. Federal economics officials also speak of a slowing, not a downturn.
Bush himself did not say the economy was in a downturn but told reporters at a Kansas City diner, "I believe the economy has slowed and we better do something about it."
U.S. Air Force fighter jets reported missing
WORLD
LONDON — Two U.S. F-15 fighter jets were reported missing yesterday over a Scottish mountain range, the U.S. Air Force said. Hours later, no trace of them had been found.
Meanwhile, an Army reconnaissance plane crashed yesterday afternoon in Germany, killing two people on board. The aircraft, based in Wiesbaden, was on a training mission when it went down in a forest area near the town of Schwabach, the army said.
The two Air Force fighters, on an afternoon training flight from the U.S. air base at Lakenheath, 75 miles northeast of London, lost contact with controllers when they were over the Cairngorm Mountains in the Scottish Highlands, Lakenheath representative Maj. Stacee Bako said. Each F-15C carried only a pilot, Bako said.
The Royal Air Force said two Nimrod reconnaissance planes and three Sea King helicopters were searching the area, helped by two RAF mountain rescue teams on the ground.
Police said they had no reports of any planes coming down.
Macedonia reclaims ethnic Albanian ground
Macedonia forces dug in overnight after piercing rebel lines and retaking ground held by ethnic Albanian insurgents, and vowed that their offensive would continue until the rebels were driven out of the country. The former Yugoslav republic's ragtag infantry punched through rebel positions in a day of fierce battle Sunday that raged in the hills just outside Tetovo, Macedonia's second-largest city, spraying houses with bullets and forcing the guerrillas to pull back. In the most intense fighting in six weeks of conflict with the rebels, the army broke through a roadblock and moved into the ethnic Albanian village of Gajre, 2 1/2 miles northwest of Tetovo, setting afire homes suspected of sheltering rebels.
Finalists chosen for new dean
Students in the School of Education could soon know who their next dean will be.
By Andrew Davies

Kansas staff writer
The school's search committee met March 15 and selected the finalists for the position.
Susan Twombly, chairwoman of the search committee, said she gave the committee's selections to Provost David Shulenburger on March 16.
Twomby would not disclose the names or the number of candidates selected as finalists.
She said the board considered
experience, performances in interviews and references in making the selections.
The selection is now in the hands of Shulenburger. He will use information collected by the committee and review the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate before offering the position to a candidate.
"I make the final decision with the advice and consent of the chancellor," he said.
Jeanette Johnson, assistant to the provost, said a search committee typically sent a list of three or four candidates to the provost and that the final decision normally wasn't made quickly.
"It could conceivably be fairly fast, but it usually isn't," she said.
Twombly said she was satisfied with the finalists the committee had selected and the entire search process.
The University hopes to name a dean by July 1.
"We have a good pool of candidates and faculty, students, and staff who wished to do so had opportunities to interact with candidates," she said. "Our goal was that all candidates should leave Lawrence feeling positive about the University of Kansas and the School of Education. We feel that happened."

Bailer Indoor Advertising. Gonsher has sold bathroom ad space to Lawrence bars, restaurants and clubs. Photo by Joshua Richards/KANSAN
By Sarah Smarsh writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Eric Gonsher wants to give you something to read on the toilet.
Gonsher, an Overland Park junior majoring in business administration, has created an advertising company that posts billboards in public bathroom stalls. The company, E.L. Baller Indoor Advertising, began last semester as a journalism class project in which students chose an advertising medium and tried to "sell it" to the teachers.
Gonsher said other students in the sales strategy class, taught by John Katch, associate professor of journalism, and Diane OByrne, journalism lecturer, selected traditional media such as newspaper and radio. But Gonsher saw the opportunity to profit from bathroom advertising, which has attracted clients like Nike and Sony since its inception in the mid-1980s.
"I wanted to be different, but I was also looking for a way to make some extra cash." Gonsher said. "After researching the medium, I realized that the Lawrence market is ideal for indoor advertising."
Local public bathrooms—particularly in bars, clubs and restaurants are perfect venues, Gonsher said, because of Lawrence's busy night life and large population of 18- to 35-year-olds.
Gonsher researched about 30 successful indoor advertising companies and went to work starting his own. First, he sought permission
from 20 sponsor locations like the Brown Bear Brewing Co., 729 Massachusetts St.; El Mezcal, 1819 W. 23rd St.; and Royal Crest Lanes, Ninth and Iowa streets.
"I look for locations that fill to capacity at least once a week and cater to the right crowds." he said.
Next, Gonsher lined up his vendors and subcontractors — billboard suppliers, graphic designers, photographers and printers. Then he hit the streets in search of clients.
E. L. Bailer — "reliable" spelled backwards—sold more than $6,000 in contracts in January, its first month, Gonsher said. Each of the 50 billboards in town, installed in February, holds space for four of Gonsher's clients, which include Jamaica Tan, 2311 Wakarua Drive; Jefferson Commons, 2511 W. 31st St.; and Saferide. Gonsher said he planned to expand to at least 20 more locations by next February.
His company has succeeded, Gonsher said, because bathroom advertising "pretty much sells itself."
"Local business owners understand that they can't get this type of exposure with any other type of media," he said. "I am able to offer them a captive audience, seven days a week." Gonsher added that his marketing medium was much cheaper than radio or television spots.
Chris Nyberg, owner of Jamaica Tan, said he bought the bathroom advertising because of its guaranteed audience.
Gonsher added that "advertisers can target their market by gender with 100 percent accuracy."
Gonsher said his most important tasks were maintaining billboards, learning about the industry and developing his business.
"I want to be very careful to take it
slow and do it right," he said.
Gonsher said taking it slow was difficult for him, even while he is a full-time student.
"Icould probably work 100 hours a week, but I make myself stop after 50 to make sure that I don't get burned out," said Gonsher, who said he planned to continue the business after graduating. "I'm very passionate about my work."
Gonsher said he was happy to take his passion to the toilet.
"This is the one time of the day when these active consumers actually slow down and give you their undivided attention for up to two straight minutes," he said.
Work advances house by 2 months
Five use break to help Habitat for Humanity
By Sarah Warren writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
Spring break brought about a couple of firsts for Courtney Kaytis. The Easton, Conn., sophomore, made her first trip to Texas and built her first house.
Kaytis was one of five KU students who headed to Austin, Texas, to work on a house for Habitat for Humanity during spring break. Along with Kaytis, Shannon Snapp, Belleville freshman; Mike Leighnor, Overland Park freshman; Therry Eparwa, Overland Park sophomore; and Andy Rahardja, DeSoto sophomore made up the KU contingent.
The group worked Tuesday through Saturday with a group of 15 students from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., and rotating volunteers from local companies and schools. The eventual home owner was also on site, completing a few of the 400 to 500 "sweat equity" hours to receive the house upon its completion.
Kaytis said that four of the KU students, including herself, had never done anything with Habitat before, so everything was a learning experience.
"We didn't know what we were doing at first," Kaytis said. "But they taught us really quick how to do something and then just let us do it."
Learning how to saw, hammer and apply siding along the way, the group worked from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each dayweek and then from 8:30
"When we were done we had a roof and siding on the house."
Courtney Kaytis Easton, Conn., sophomore
"usually the people who work for Habitat work on Saturdays," Kaytis said. "With the work that we did there we put them forward about eight Saturdays."
a. m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. The group helped the house to move forward almost two months in production.
The group raised the skeleton and added major exterior work to what had already been constructed by the Austin volunteers.
"When we were done we had a roof and siding on the house," Kaytis said. "That's when it really started to look like it was a house we were working on."
Eparwa said that in her week there, she learned valuable labor skills she wouldn't have learned otherwise.
"Now if you asked me to make a shelf, I could take a staple gun and go at it," Eparwa said.
But the group didn't spend all of their precious spring break as work horses; they also found some time to go out and enjoy the unique Austin night life.
"The Austin Habitat kids took us out," Snapp said. "The first half of the day was pretty tiring but then they let us loose."
That is, if they had any energy left. "We were too tired to stay out too late," Eparwa said.

Changes at KJHK threaten station's spirit, personality
For comments, contact Chris Borniger or Nathan Willis at 864-4924 or opinion@kansan.com
This year, KJHK has been making some significant policy and technological changes. The changes have been deemed as modern, positive and necessary by station leaders. Many DJs are behind this movement of change. However, some DJs at KJHK, such as myself, have concerns about preserving the spirit of the station amid the fox of change.
Some of these changes are positive. However, a few of these changes are unsettling — namely, the ones nudging the station into a professional commercial radio mold.
Concern No.1: On the surface, technological advances are cosmetically enhancing the interior of our station. We are loading music from our CDs and LPs onto a computer database system. This was an inevitable change.
I fear this would make DJs lazy. The loaded music for DJs is akin to drive-thrus and remote controls for Americans. We need to continue to refer to the physical albums for information that hasn't been loaded for lack of memory space

A. G. ZAHARRA
Concern No. 2: Recently, DJs have been encouraged to work on sounding smooth on air. Some professional DJ hand-me-downs include:
1. "No 'umm'ing. Don't sound so sarcastic." Do people really prefer overexcited DJs to who speak normally? How do you explain the listenership of National Public Radio stations?
hitch a ride with technology, should coax us into stenation. Suggest caution.
2. A euphemism: No "airing dirty laundry." This means never talk bad about the station. If the equipment is janky, don't apologize or complain, just pretend it didn't happen. This seems so serious. What is so precious about KJJHK's reputation? What's wrong with a little wry humor now and again?
Overall, KJHK should be shaping up into a polished, orderly, professional and streamlined regime. Words that come to my mind are dulled, diluted and restricted.
3. No technological jargon. Don't say "rotation" on air. It apparently confuses and alienates listeners. Maybe we should try appealing to people with larger vocabularies?
Concern No. 3: After a poll sponsored by the School of Journalism, KJHK has decided DJs need to entice more listeners, so we added a popular rotation (excuse the jargon). I agree that some formerly blacklisted artists should be restored to KJHK airwaves. I think that because it's good music and it doesn't get airplay on other stations, not because it will increase ratings.
I believe KJHK DJs have a responsibility to play quality, innovative music that doesn't airplay on popular stations. To different DJs that means different tunes. All I ask is that we follow this ideal sincerely — let it send us where it will. KJHK shouldn't overlap the popular radio sector; the public already has many opportunities to hear Top 40. The beauty of KJHK is its financial independence and purity. It isn't a slave to the ratings. Ratings constrict creativity and innovation when they must be maximized to achieve advertisement goals.
Freedom in radioland is rare. Commercial DJs don't get to choose the music they play or exude their musical expertise on air. It is a business they must play a song list engineered under big-boy radio-label executives. They must exude a polished and professional persona. That persona is inconceivably excited and happy, seemingly impervious to or unaware of the wide spectrum of emotions one can choose from in the United States.
We may be poor, but we have autonomy. I suppose I echo the sentiments of Whitney Houston when I say we've got respect and you can't take that away from us. We are financed by the University, so we have the room for creativity. We have had few binding limits (at least formally). I fear that the cost of streamlining and becoming professional is less individual discretion for each DJ and this equates to less variety for the rabble of rebel radio.
You've got the power; you're KJHK's audience. The freshman, sophomores and juniors (as well as first-year seniors) are the new generation of DJs and listeners. Remain conscious; be aware.

Team cuts unfortunate but necessary in long run
ver since Athletics Director Bob
Ever since Athletics Director Bob Frederick decided to cut the men's swimming and tennis teams, every other person on campus has decided to put in their two cents' worth. All of a sudden, everyone is rattling off numbers and figures about the Athletics Department's budget. Everyone thinks they have a solution and everyone thinks they know how to run a successful athletics program. Well, I have news for you: You don't
For some reason, the issue of Frederick cutting the men's swimming and tennis teams has turned into "vilify the devil Frederick and the football team."
Numbers and people aside, there is nothing or no one to blame for this event except capitalism and money. Sadly, NCAA sports have become a business in which profit is as much of a priority as the sports and the athletes

themselves. It is sad that college sports have ended up this way.
College sports once were a haven for amateur athletes to develop and show off their skills. Jim Brown and Kansas's own Jim Ryun were sports icons even before graduating from college. College sports were about participation, winning and that one shining moment. Now, it's about pleasing the alumni, getting TV network contracts and sponsorship.
from the time I was 8 years old through high school. I hold both sports close to my heart. But honestly, here at Kansas, I could really care less. I am not happy the teams got cut, but if it is truly necessary, by all means, let them go.
We live in a world and marketplace where survival of the fittest is the ultimate law. To make it in this world, you are going to have to step on some toes and make hard sacrifices. That's exactly what Frederick had to do — make sacrifices. I respect and support his decision. I support it because if he tells me if it is for the improvement of the athletics program as a whole, then I believe him. It is a shame, however, that he had to cut two of the classiest and underappreciated programs.
I participated on swimming and tennis teams
To tell you the truth, I would rather they cut the swimming and tennis teams to make our athletics programs stronger — particularly the football program.
You know why? Because I went to every home football game and to the game at Mizzou. I have been to one swim meet and no tennis matches. Football can bring a campus and community together. Win or lose, football gives us something to talk about. When the football team loses, we care. Whether the swimming and tennis team wins or loses, it gets a brief in the newspaper and no one mentions it at all.
Football is a high-profile sport that brings a lot of attention to the University. I and many others get excited to watch Kansas play, whether we are expected to win or lose. People tailgate and plan days around going to football games. I don't know many people who have tailgated or have even cared whether the swimming and tennis teams win or lose.
Granted, the football team has been not-so-spectacular on and off the field the last few years, but I am still going to stick up for them and the Athletics Department because I am proud to attend Kansas and I trust the men in the luxury boxes are doing the right thing.
So I encourage all of you who are against the cutting of the swimming and tennis programs to get out there and fight what you think is right. But stop placing all the blame on the football team and Frederick. Just because swimming and tennis are nonrevenue sports, it does not make them any less important than any other sport. It just happens that we cannot support them financially anymore.
Borja is a Springfield, Mo., sophomore in journalism.
I encourage everyone who supports the cutting of the teams — as I do — to remain loyal to Kansas, Bob Frederick and the sports that still remain.
Editorial
Note to Senate candidates: Keep it clean
Eliminating foul play from Student Senate elections would boost voter turnout.
Because of the history of campaign violations that accompanies past student Senate elections, there is a good way for the coalitions running for Senate this year to set themselves apart: Run clean campaigns.
This year the VOICE coalition is claiming to be a new coalition, not just a recycled version of coalitions from past years that went by different names. Delta Force, which has existed for five years, has never been convicted of a campaign violation
In 1998, both Delta Force and Campus Cause had posters that were visible from the Mrs. E's polling site and were warned to take them down within one hour. Delta Force complied. Campus Cause did not and received a fine.
The Unite coalition committed the most greedy campaign violations in 1997. It was fined $1,200 for violations from illegal campaigning in Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall to violating spending limits, which no longer exist. The problems ran so rampant that the elections commissioner that year quit in disgust.
Last year, four students associated with the United Students coalition stole about 9,000 copies of the University Daily Kansan. Two of those students were candidates who withdrew after they were caught.
Despite protests to the contrary, many people believe that the VOICE coalition is a retread of United Students. Changing the political atmosphere for this election would be a step in the right direction in distinguishing the coalition.
The voter turnout in Student Senate elections is a perennial concern. The portrayal of candidates as students who are campaigning only to fatten their resumes and willing to play dirty does not help increase turnout. Campaigns mired with allegations will likely lead to even fewer student voters. A more positive atmosphere could only boost turnout, which should be a primary goal of all Student Senate candidates.
The task at hand this election season is simple: Work hard and play fair. Everyone is aware of the rules, and adhering to them would be a step toward strengthening student representation at the University.

Letters to the Editor Racism apparent at University
To the University of Kansas:
and don't say to Kansas:
I sadden me to write you this letter.
I am a senior, and during the last four years, we have built a beautiful relationship. As an African-American student, I was not sure how you would accept me, but to my surprise, we seemed to have made a perfect couple.
Like every good lover, I felt as if I knew everything about you. I was wrong. Never did I imagine that once I began to take pride in my culture and celebrate customs outside of yours that you would look at me differently, that you would voice your disapproval, apathy and hatred. I was first angered when you said you could care less about some Black conference or when you called the Black Student Union (an organization very dear to my heart) the most racist organization on campus. When you're in a relationship, you sometimes make mistakes, but you refuse to admit your faults. It OK to openly belittle my hard work and dedication but not openly apologize? That does not seem fair. I was in sixth grade when I first saw you on TV and shortly after visited your museums. I fell for you then and have been committed to you since. I passed up many opportunities and scholarships to come to you (while receiving no financial aid and paying out of state tuition). The last month together makes me question my decision, your love, my friends and your acceptance of me. Last week was so bad that I called my mom and dad. I felt ashamed because I have always been loyal to you despite your obvious hidden hate toward me. I know that not everyone at the University is prejudiced, but each individual makes up the University. What surprises me is the vast number of people who have ill feelings toward me and the people I represent. It is also surprising that the Kansan welcomes people to disrespect me.
I guess this is just another mountain I will have to climb. My belief in God teaches me to turn the other cheek and never to stop giving of myself, regardless of how I am accepted or perceived. This is what I'll do. I'll try to mend the problem and erase the bad taste that this incident has left in my mouth. But until this problem is resolved, my heart and loyalty still belongs to you. I am crimson and blue, through and through. But I hope this never happens again so that never again will I have to write so long a letter.
J. R. Roland Grandview, Mo., senior
In writing this letter, I hope not to anger anyone, but I do hope to evoke new ideas to make the University of Kansas a more unified campus.
Kansan merely reports news
Those of us who read the paper have become familiar with the friction between the Black Student Union and the Kansan on the paper's coverage of the BSU leadership conference.
I'd like to address BSU first, and in doing so, I don't mean to direct this at the whole organization — just to those to whom it may pertain. We need to realize that as members of the Black culture, we are always going to be the targets of media exploits. Knowing and understanding this doesn't call for us to blame the media for our actions. Situations such as the BSU conference call for us to look at each other and the way we represent the Black culture in today's society. The individuals who started this fight need to rethink why they were at the leadership conference. If we can't come together as a people for a short period of time, then why should the paper have anything positive to say about a conference we put together, regardless of how much work we put in?
Second, the newspaper is here to report news. A fight at the conference is news. We also must realize that the Kansan is an amateur newspaper made up of rookies — writers and reporters hoping to make it to the next level. The Kansan is not responsible for anyone's actions. it's there to inform us, and that's what it did.
Media are there to inform the public. If we choose not to represent ourselves in a positive manner, then negative aspects will be printed. We constantly want to look for someone to blame when the negative comes out instead of pointing the finger at ourselves. We should not be asking for an apology from the media but from those individuals who took it upon themselves to remove the positive aspects of the leadership conference by behaving in a not-so-positive way. Our responsibility is to positively represent the way our Black culture should live today. The time is now for us to make change by eliminating our negatives and letting only our positives shine.

Journalism school not racist
his own hand, not racism. The dean and faculty of the journalism school have done everything in their part to be inclusive of all students who have walked through these doors.
The climate in the Journalism School is not sexist or racist ("Blame school for race coverage," Wednesday). Mr. Cuena's dismissal from the Journalism is by
Amanza, an organization for minority journalism students, has been fully supported by the past and current deans. Students of color are always encouraged to participate fully in campus media. A travel abroad program for Ghana, West Africa, started by a Black woman professor has received support by not only the dean but also the chancellor. The dean and faculty are also trying to find new ways to attract and keep students of color in the journalism school.
A class in the school. Diversity in the Media, is even offered, and Mr. Cuenca was a guest's speaker.
I know these things because I am a nonfaculty staff member in the journalism school. Unlike Mr. Cuenca, who is here only two days a week, I am here every day, and I see the faculty counsel all students. I see faculty members teach students to think critically and objectively. The other reason that I know what actually goes on in this school is because I am a graduate of the journalism program. Long before Mr. Cuenca was a faculty member, I was a student of color here. I felt nothing but supported by all faculty and staff. And because of my positive experience in this school, I was excited to come back to recruit for this very institution. Since the first day I came back to this campus to work, the faculty has offered nothing but support and assistance in any way. Regretfully, the same cannot be said of Mr. Cuenca.
Also, in blaming the faculty, what does Mr. Cuenca imply about the students? It seems to me that while he is belittling the journalism faculty, he is not fully confident in the inherent talents and skill of the Kansan staff.
The demonstration three weeks ago is an example that race relations still need improvement. And even with the efforts mentioned above, more in the journalism school needs to be done. But, besides being a guest speaker in a class, I don't see Mr. Cuenca offering any worthwhile advice on how to improve the matter.
I will end with a quote from the Bible: "How can you remove the splinter from your neighbor's eye without seeing the beam in your own?"
In other words, Mr. Cuenca, before you accuse others of their transgressions, look at your own and see where you fall short.

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) --- Today is a 7.
Curtail your enthusiasm just a little.
You already have everybody's attention. Show 'em you have good common sense as well as confidence.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Yaar your boss may be living in a dream world. You don't have to go along with a ridiculous request. If you decide against it, point out that it's not cost-effective. For you, it isn't.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 5.
A secret you hear has merit—but don't share it with anyone yet. Meamwhile, ponder a proposal for action a little while longer. Make lists of what you'll take along. If you went right now, you'd be forgetting something.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Don't pack today's schedule too tightly. Odds are good that most jobs will take longer than expected. Frustration mounts, but keep at it, even if you have to work late. Once a mess is untangled, success should come easily — tomorrow.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
Don't pull your money out of savings, even for what seems like a really good reason. If it can wait until tomorrow, you may find a better way to finance this venture. A friend may be willing to share expenses. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your partner could put the brakes on your plan to escape. Looks like he or she wants your help at home. You're not usually one to avoid a difficult task, but you're tempted. Compromise by taking home a ready-cooked dinner. Make your life a little easier.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
A trick you're trying out for the first time needs a little work. Make sure your safety net is in place so that the damage is minimal if you fall flat. You might also want to try this one out in private before you do it in front of thousands.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 6.
You may have loaded too much onto your plate again. Sometimes you do have superpowers and manage to do it all. But this time it would help to have a sidekick along. A slow, steady type would be best.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) —
You're eager to make changes to yourself and your environment. You've outgrown your old way of being.
Some renovation will work, but allow yourself a few new goodies. Fix what you can tonight, shop tomorrow.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
You and a loved one may disagree about the best way to proceed. The other person is concerned about finances, while you're more concerned about time. Don't spend the money yet. Another option may be revealed tomorrow.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Slow down and think things over just a little while longer. There's no point in trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. You know the fit isn't right, but you may not have figured out why. Be patient — it will become obvious.
Pisces (Feb. 19–March 20) — Today is a 7.
You're liable to see something that others miss. If you do, speak up. You may not be the loudest one today, but you could be one of the smartest.

Alumni rally for swim team
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan swordwriter
Alumni support is growing in the swimming and diving team's quest to save its program.
Three weeks after Athletic Director Bob Frederick announced the Athletic Department's decision to eliminate both the men's swimming and diving team and the men's tennis team, a group of 10 former Kansas swimmers have pledged to pool their resources in a fight to keep the swimming and diving team afloat.
In a rush to raise money to keep the program running next season, the group is searching the nation for former Kansas swimmers and other sympathizers willing to donate money to save the team.
The group met with Frederick March
19 and asked for the opportunity to raise money to keep the program running next season, while working to form an endowment fund that would funnel
money into the program indefinitely, eliminating the possibility of future budgetary concerns.
eliminating the possibility of future budgetary concerns. Kansas alumnus Mike Calwell said Frederick pledged to meet with Chancellor Robert Hemenway to get the OK to proceed with the fund-raising search.
PETER KENNEDY
Frederick: met with alumni who want to raise money for team
The group is trying to generate enough
money to cover the $400,000 men's swimming and diving budget for next season. After that, the group will seek to raise as much as $7 million for the endowment fund.
"We felt a little bit slighted because we weren't really given a heads-up by the Athletics Department that this was coming down." Calwell said.
Calwell said the department's failure to provide notice of the team's pending cut had complicated the process.
"We love and value our sport of swimming," he said. "It is one of the few lifetime sports that we can continue until long beyond college. I, at age 60, still swim regularly, as do many of my former teammates."
"This is going to take some real hard work, but it can be done." Calwell said. Calwell said the group's commitment to the team stemmed from its affection for the sport.
Kansas swimmer Mitch Loper appreciated alumni support, but said raising enough money to save the program would be tough because people were reluctant to donate money to a program that didn't exist.
But he did think Frederick had a genuine interest in preserving the program. "I think his heart is in it," Colwell said.
"I if they could give us a conditional reinstatement, then we could raise the money, as long as the number is realistic." Loper said.
Calwell said Frederick still hadn't presented the group with a deadline or an exact dollar amount needed to keep the team next season. A response from Frederick is expected sometime this week.

Early tournament exit
Sophomores leave disappointed
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas sophomores' sizzling season was extinguished Friday in San Antonio.
And they aren't happy about it. Kansas' season-ending 80-64 loss to top-seeded Illinois in the Sweet 16 left a sour taste in the sophomores' mouths and seemed to detract their attention from the seasons that all three had.
They don't care about their numbers now, though, because they wanted a bigger slice of the pie. They wanted a championship — nothing less.
"I've still got a lot left that I want to accomplish."
"I haven't won a championship in my life," forward Drew Gooden said. "Except for a league championship in high school. I never won a state championship. I haven't won a Big 12 Conference championship, a Big 12 Tournament championship or an NCAA Tournament championship.
Gooden also is eying success in the NBA and is expected to announce his decision within the next two weeks.
The progress he displayed immediately following his return from a wrist injury indicated that his game may be ready for the professional level. He averaged more than 18 points and seven boards in his first three games back.
But the Big 12 Tournament loss to Oklahoma was a step back. He hit just two of nine shots and scored seven points. In the loss to Illinois, he battled foul trouble and had four turnovers in a 13-point effort, giving a bitter end to what may have been his final college season.
Despite the slight decline in two of his last four games, the Jayhawks hope to see Gooden and his team-leading 15.8 points and 8.4 rebounds return for another year.
They also anticipate the return of point guard Kirk Hinrich and forward Nick Collison. Both had tremendous seasons but faltered in key moments during the postseason. Neither were satisfied with the team's poor showing against the
Illini.
Hinrich shook his head following the game, in which he had five turnovers, all in the first half, and fouled out after playing just 28 minutes. He said he let his teammates down with his two assists, five below his season average, but vowed to bounce back.
"We made a lot of strides this year," Hinrick said. "We still didn't win the big one, and we didn't beat anybody that we weren't supposed to beat. We had an all right year. We just have to dedicate ourselves to come to play every night. There are nights, for whatever reason, we didn't."
Hinrich's biggest addition to the team was in assists. His 229 dishes this year gave him the third-best single season mark in Kansas history. He doubled his scoring average to 11.5 points per game and hit 50.5 percent of his three-pointers.
Despite Hinrich's rough game, Collison may take Friday's loss the hardest, which is surprising because he helped give the Jayhawks an opportunity to win after trailing by 12 points at halftime.
He pounded the glass for seven rebounds and was sharp from the field, hitting eight-of-11 shots for a team-high 23 points. But he also missed free throws — lots of them. He sank just six of 14 from the line and missed five straight at one point.
Not that the rest of the team was much help. As a whole, the Jayhawks missed 17 of their 35 attempts at the free throw line. Coach Roy Williams said he was stunned by the mark, especially considering Collison was usually one of Kansas' most reliable free-throw shooters.
"Nick Collison is a good free-throw shooter," Williams said. "He's never been great, but he's been a good free-throw shooter his entire life. Maybe the ball didn't feel good to him."
Neither does the feeling in the Jayhawks' hearts as, once again, they'll have to sit at home with the rest of the country and watch four other teams duke it out for a national championship.

Kansas aims to bounce back from losses

After a weekend in which the Kansas baseball team was outscored 30-6 in three losses to No. 16 Baylor, the Jayhawks (14-14) will try to get back on track today when they travel to Fayetteville, Ark.; to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks at 5:30 p.m. at George Cole Field.
"This game is so important for our confidence," said Kansas catcher Brent Del Chiaro. "Winning at their place would bring our confidence back and help us set going for a conference run."
Tenight's battle against the Razorbacks is Kansas' only action until next weekend's pivotal Big 12 Conference series against No. 20 Texas.
Arkansas' record might imply that the Razorbacks are suffering a
down year, but the Razorbacks (14-15) have scored some quality wins this season. Two weekends ago, the Razorbacks took two out of three games from No. 17 Georgia in Fayetteville. Arkansas has been swept by No. 5 South Carolina and Florida in its two other conference series, but the Razorbacks held the lead in five of those six losses.
Kansas lost to Arkansas 10-3 in Lawrence last season, and Kansas coach Bobby Randall is once again expecting a tough match-up.
"Our pitchers need to work on
"Arkansas is a great program with a lot of tradition." Randall said. "We're not thinking of this game as a must-win game, but you're going to see two teams that really want to win."
Randall said the Jayhawks need to focus more on improving the aspects of their game that have been failing them lately.
throwing more strikes, and our batters need to cut down on their strikeouts," Randall said. "When we get in trouble on the mound, it's usually because of our control. We need to improve on that."
Del Chiaro said that to get back on track, more than one Kansas batter needs to produce big numbers.
Sunday's 7-4 loss to Baylor was a prime example of Del Chiaro's point. Kansas junior Ryan Klocksien led Kansas with four hits and four RBI, but only three other Kansas players recorded a hit.
"We need to put together a team effort with our hitting," Del Chiaro said.
Junior Jake Wright (2.3, 5.51 ERA) makes the start for Kansas today and will face off with Razorback freshman Matt Dotson (2.0, 5.79 ERA). In his last start, Wright allowed three runs on nine

Softball player's positivity, talent help keep team in high spirits
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kara Pierce meets all of life's challenges in the same way — with a smile. The freshman pitcher from Mesa, Ariz., is a dreamer, and she has big plans for her time with the Kansas softball team.
Pierce, a four-year letter winner for Xavier College Prep in Phoenix, spent most of her time during high school as a backup for ultra-competitive summer teams. This season Pierce is thrust into the spotlight for the first time with a 9-7 record and a 2.05 ERA for the 'Hawks'
It's a role she accepts with open arms and a big grin.
"I feel like I'm needed more in the big situations," said Pierce, whose Kansas team will take on Missouri-Kansas City at 2 p.m. today at Jayhawk Field. "And it's more fun knowing that you're going to play and you're going to start." After just a few games with the Jayhawks and a slew of ups and downs, Pierce is settling into her role as a starting pitcher.
After last season's starters Sarah Clopton and Melanie DeWinter graduated, coach Tracy Bunge had to revamp her pitching staff. So Pierce, along with Kirsten Milhoan, now represent the 'Hawks on the mound.
It hasn't been easy, and all three pitchers had problems early on, but Bunge has seen marked improvement.
"The thing that I'm real excited about is that I've seen progress every weekend," Bunge said. "Kara, in particular, has gotten better every weekend, and, as a coach, that's all you ask for."
Instead of using a menacing fastball, Pierce fools hitters with breaking balls and pitches that move so much even her teammates get scared.
"They hate to hit off her sometimes in the cages because she has such good ball movement," Bunge said. "It's the thing that I saw in her when I recruited her."
Pierce's happy-go-lucky attitude also caught Bunge's eye.
Not long ago, University sports psychologist Mark Thompson gave the team index cards and crayons and had the players draw a face on each side. The first face, they were told, was to resemble their facial expression after winning the College World Series. The other face was to show their expression during an intense game situation.
Unlike the rest of her teammates, Pierce drew two happy faces with smiles brimming from ear-to-ear.
"Kara's was the same on both sides, and that's how she is." Bunge said.
"She's not a kid who looks at life ever real seriously. She's a happy person. She's a lot of fun to be around. Her teammates love her to death, and she's just a very positive individual."
That positive attitude has been useful during the difficult transition from high school to college, a change that hasn't always been smooth sailing. Pierce was shaky and appeared rattled in her first appearance of the season during the Diamond Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M., on Feb. 2. She couldn't find a rhythm and surrendered four runs on nine hits in four and one-third innings.
"It was my first college tournament ever so I was a little nervous," Pierce said. "Seeing everybody in the stands, I was really nervous. But I seem to calm down with every tournament, and we're doing better as a team."
For Bunge, watching Pierce improve has been exciting.
"I really think she has learned from each day that she's been out on the mound, and as a coach, you love that," Bunge said. "I think she's going to be getting better and better as she gets more comfortable in pressure situations."
Pierce thinks so, too.
"Three more years plus this season. I'm ready," she said, with a smile, of course.

KUAC student representatives defend votes for team cuts
By Sarah Warren writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
In the wake of the the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation's decision March 4 to cut the men's swimming and diving and men's tennis teams, student
representatives on the KUAC board explained their decision to vote for the cuts as part of a plan to mend financial debt.
1973
Ben Walker, student body president and Hutchinson senior, said that he voted for the plan but would have voted to save the teams if any other alternative could have been devised.
Walker;would have voted for viable alternative
"It was my understanding that we were facing a financial situation that had to be resolved," Walker said. "I certainly didn't want to do it. I don't think that anybody did."
Jessica Bankston, Nunemaker senator and Albuquerque, N.M., junior, said she
voted in favor of the cuts because it was the only responsible option.
10
"I voted the way I did because, as a representative of the student body, I couldn't vote for a $30 per year fee increase," she said. "I think it's a horrible decision for anyone to have to make, but at the time that was the only option the board was given."
Jessica Corcoran, member of the board and Highland Park, Texas, senior, did not attend the meeting and didn't vote.
Bankston: wants to explore avenues to save men's teams
Pat Warren, assistant director of KUAC,
said that no one on the board voted
against the program cuts but that some
members abstained from the voice vote.
Since the Athletics Department announced three weeks ago that it would cut the programs to alleviate the department's financial woes, students and alumni have had strong reactions.
Warren said that KUAC was sensitive to the feelings of the athletes, students, faculty, alumni and others who had been upset by the decision to make the cuts but that no viable alternatives had been suggested by anyone who was concerned about the cuts and who had contacted KUAC.
"It's tiresome to have constant criticism of a decision without a solution being proposed," Warren said. "I don't think anybody was in favor of cutting the sports — they were in favor of the financial solution."
Warren also defended the student board members' decisions to vote in favor of the financial plan that the program cuts were associated with.
"I think those students know more about the situation than 99 percent of the University," Warren said. "They made their decisions based on the information they were given."
Walker said there were other conflicting factors in his decision to vote for the plan.
"I know people on the teams, so it was not an easy thing to do."Walker said."I think that the donor seating plan is also necessary to alleviate the financial problems we have."
"I'd like for us to find a way for these sports to continue playing."
The donor seating plan would help relieve financial difficulties by reserving better seats to KU athletic events, namely basketball, for alumni who make the largest donations to the University.
Walker also said the financial situation the University was experiencing was a growing trend at other universities. He cited the announcement Sunday by Bill Byrne, University of Nebraska athletics director, that the university would cut its men's swimming team after this season.
Bankston suggested exploring further avenues to ensure the board didn't act hastily.
"A lot of athletics departments across the country are dealing with the same problems we are dealing with." Walker said.

Looking in Kansan closets
Group questions staff backgrounds
By Brooke Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A new organization, Truth in Reporting, is turning the tables on the University Daily Kansan.
The Kansan normally runs and publishes background checks on all Student Senate candidates. Most of the violations found are citations for driving while intoxicated and minor in possession.
But J.D. Jenkins, liberal arts and sciences senator and president of the new organization, said if the Kansan printed background checks this year, Truth in Reporting would run and publish background checks on Kansan staff members.
"The idea behind the group is to be a media watchdog." Jenkins said.
Jenkins said the either buy an ad in the Kansan, post the list on a Web site or hand out fliers sometime in April.
Jenkins said the group planned to
And the group's plans will probably be realized — the Kansan is in the process of running background checks and will publish them next month, said Lori O'Toole, Kansan editor.
---
Jenkins: will publish records of Kansan staff members
students involved with Senate thought the background checks were unfair.
Jenkins said many
the background checks were unfair. "People's employers were seeing this, and people's parents were seeing this," he said.
Dallas Rakestraw, Nunemaker senator,
representing freshmen and sophomores,
had his record printed in the Kansan last
year. Rakestraw had a minor in possession
— or MIP — citation.
"The Kansan politely told my parents that I had an MIP," Rakestraw said. "I hadn't told them vet."
Rakestraw added that while he didn't support the Kansan running background checks on candidates, he didn't support Truth in Reporting running background checks on Kansan staff members either.
O'Toole said it was necessary to run background checks on people running for public office.
"There have been people who have run who have been convicted of domestic violence and child molestation," she said. "it's all public information, and anyone can find this out."
Jenkins said he wasn't opposed to the idea of the Kansan running background checks but that minor violations like MIC citations should not be printed.
"The thing with that is where do you draw the line?" she said. "For some students an MIP or a DUI is a big deal. To be fair to everyone, we run everyone's background and print it."
Curtis Dixon, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said the background checks wouldn't necessarily affect the way he voted.
"I think the Kansan should print the checks though," Dixon said. "Give the voters all the information, and let them decide how they feel."
Brett Hronek, Olathe senior, said it was fair that Truth in Reporting ran background checks on Kansan staff members. "If you guys open that door, you're fair game," he said.

Students try homeless experience

Fraternity members collect donations with outreach project
By Danny Phillips writer@kansan.com Konson staff writer
A cold February night convinced Quincy Garner to spend three days in front of Wescoe Hall, surviving on little more than the clothes on his back and the generosity of others.
Recalling that chilly night, Garner, an Alpha Phi Alpha member who graduated last year, said he realized that although he could simply turn up the thermostat, not everyone had that luxury.
That was the inspiration for the first Project Homeless Alpha.
Garner set up rules for the community outreach project.
First, at least one fraternity member has to stay in front of Wescoe for the next two days, until sundown on Thursday.
At night, the fraternity members will hunker down inside Wescoe — unless a kind soul puts them up for the night.
The catch is that the person offering a warm place to sleep can't be a girlfriend or a close friend.
Garner said he hoped people who saw the project would give out of the kindness of their hearts and that "maybe it will affect them down the road."
All monetary donations, $37 as of yesterday afternoon, will go to the Jubilee Cafe, and any donated blankets will go to the Salvation Army.
None of the fraternity members brought blankets with them, so donations would come in handy at night.
tions would come in nanny at night. While Garner doesn't want to catch pneumonia, he said fraternity members "still want to feel the elements."
Beginning yesterday morning, after Garner had a piece of toast and checked the weather channel, he ventured out to Wescoe and situated himself just in front of the steps on some flattened cardboard boxes.
"This is something that's been done, but we've never done it before. It puts things in perspective."
Al Harris
Kansas City, Mo., senior
All he brought with him was his trumpet and a donation box.
"I was bored quickly." Garner said. "I think if I ever see a homeless person again. I'm going to give them a book."
And to get a better feel of what being homeless is really like, Garner left his cell phone at home.
When Garner first approached his fraternity brothers with the idea for the community outreach project, it wasn't met with enthusiasm.
"Basically, I'm losing contact with everybody," he said.
"They looked at me like I was crazy," he said.
But eventually, he said, he was able to convince them "why not?"
Garner said he would like Project Homeless Alpha to become an annual event.
Fraternity member Al Harris said what attracted him to the project was its uniqueness.
"This is something that's been done, but we've never done it before," said Harris, Kansas City, Mo., senior. "It puts things in perspective."
Harris said he had a pretty light schedule this semester, so it wasn't too much trouble committing to the project.
He's not taking off from work, though
The same is true for Garner, who has a job with a telemarketing firm.
"I'm homeless," Garner said, "but I'm not jobless."

Female tobacco-related deaths on the rise

Kansan stuff writer
Women on the pill hormones at risk for smoking maladies
For Virginia Wellington, quitting smoking will have to wait.
Wellington, Oklahoma City senior, said she was trying to quit but was avoiding it at the moment because she was on a diet.
Wellington is not alone. Though smoking has declined among women since the 1960s, the rate of decline has been slow and the number of deaths remain high, according to a report released yesterday by Surgeon General David Satcher.
"If I quit smoking now, I might start eating more, which might ruin my diet," she said.
The report shows that women account for 39 percent of smoking-related deaths, a percentage that has doubled since 1965.
Patricia Denning, physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said smoking posed serious health risks for college women.
"The primary health risk affects women who are on birth control pills or hormones," she said. "It increases your risk of blood clotting which causes phlebitis in the veins. It can result in blood clots that form in the lungs, which can be fatal."
Strokes, cancer and heart disease are other risk factors of smoking. Denning said.
The surgeon general reported that lung cancer was the top female cancer killer, claiming the lives of 67,600 women in 2000. More than 90 percent of lung cancer cases are because of smoking.
The report also stated that smoking could cut short a woman's life by an average of 14 years.
Denning said tobacco advertising contributed to the prevalence of smoking.
Cigarette companies spent $8.2 billion on overall advertising in 1999, a 22-percent increase.
ing that encourages teens to smoke.
But Jessica Wilson, Overland Park freshman, said she had not been influenced by television and magazine ads to start smoking.
She said she started smoking because of her family's influence.
"All my family smokes, and I kind of jumped on the bandwagon," she said. "I've tried quitting a lot of times. Eventually I plan to, but I have no desire to right now. It helps with stress."

Keg-tracking bill sinks after House tabling
TOPEKA — A proposal to require liquor stores to track who buys beer kegs resurfaced and sank yesterday in the Senate.
The Senate passed the proposal two weeks ago,but a House committee tabled it last week — most likely preventing it from passing this year.
Sen. Jim Barnett, its main sponsor, tried unsuccessfully to revive the issue.
Barnett, R-Emporia, offered the beer keg proposal as an amendment to a House bill to make it illegal to administer the ingredients of the drug gamma hydroxybutyric acid without a prescription. The drug is known as the "date rape" drug, and its use without a prescription is illegal, but not the use of its separate ingredients.
His amendment would have required retailers to record a keg purchaser's name and address before giving them a tagged keg, making it easier for police to track a keg back to its buyer — and to apprehend adults who provide alcohol to minors.

Lawyer in killings asks public for open minds
CONCORD, N.H. — A lawyer for one of the teen-agers charged with killing two Dartmouth College professors says the public should postpone making judgments until incriminating evidence is independently reviewed.
Tulloch and James Parker, 16, both of Chelsea, Vt., are accused of stabbing the Zantops to death in their Hanover home Jan. 27.
Authorities investigating the slayings of Half and Susanne Zantop found one victim's blood on knives discovered in the bedroom of Robert Tulloch, 17, according to court documents released Monday.
Investigators said they were unsure of a motive for the killings or a possible connection between the German-born professors and the suspects.
Initiative to celebrate Kansas City minorities
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two nationally-known African-American performers will be in Kansas City in April to promote an effort to attract tourists to minority-related attractions inside the urban core.
The initiative, called the Cultural Congress, was unveiled last year as a project of the Black Chamber of Commerce of Greater Kansas City inc.
On April 6, the group will sponsor a performance by pop singer Gladys Knight during a national broadcast of radio personality Tom Joyner's morning show from Kansas City.

Certain soldiers exposed to Gulf War nerve gas
WASHINGTON — Up to several dozen U.S. Special Forces soldiers may have been exposed to nerve gas when they secretly went into Iraq ahead of the Gulf War ground campaign, the Pentagon said yesterday.
The Department of Defense released a report on air strikes between Jan. 19 and Feb. 24, 1991, as coalition forces hit an Iraqi weapons storage site at Muhammadiyad. Among Iraqi munitions in the depot were bombs filled with mustard agents and the nerve agents sarin and cyclosarin.
"With the possible exception of a few forward-deployed Special Operations Forces in Iraq, U.S. forces were definitely not exposed to chemical warfare agents as a result of the bombing," the department said in a statement. For those few, it said, "exposure is characterized as indeterminate from the facts available."
Disney prepares for cuts throughout company
NEW YORK — The Walt Disney Co. said yesterday it was eliminating 4,000 full-time jobs, or about 3 percent of its global work force.
The media and entertainment giant cited the "increasingly pressing challenges of the softening economic environment."
It said it would try to achieve the cuts through a voluntary program within the next month, but layoffs could be needed.
The cuts will come across all operating areas, including the company's corporate staff in Burbank.
Disney employs 120,000 people worldwide, with the greatest concentration — 55,000 — in Orlando, Florida.
Calif.. Disnev said.
Disney representative John Dreyer said the cuts would result in $350 to $400 million in annual savings.
WORLD
Russia's vow ties score Americans must leave
MOSCOW — Russia followed through yesterday on its vow to retaliate for a U.S. decision to expel four Russian diplomats, naming four American diplomats who must leave Moscow.
Representatives for Russia's Foreign Ministry and the U.S. embassy declined to give the employees' names or other details.
U. S. officials were still studying the list, State Department representative Richard Boucher said in Washington. He called the expulsion order "unwarranted and unfortunate," refusing to rule out retaliatory action.
Moscow's move follows the announcement last week that four Russians were being told to leave the United States within 10 days in connection with a spy scandal, and that 46 more Russians would be told to leave by summer.
The statement said the employees were ordered to leave for "activities incompatible with their diplomatic status," a phrase usually used for allegations of spying.
Macedonian president
touts country's success
CRIPE. Macedonia
SKOPJE, Macedonia
Macedonia's president declared yesterday his country had vanquished ethnic Albanian rebels, arguing the military offensive restored confidence among
Macedonians and proved the country was able to defend its fragile democracy.
President Boris Trajkovski signaled, however, that negotiations for constitutional changes demanded by ethnic Albanians could take place now that insurgents claiming to fight for greater rights had been pushed from a position of strength near Macedonia's second-largest city, Tetovo.
The Associated Press
"I'm really convinced that it was not only the victory of democracy but also of Macedonians who, in these difficult times, were able to prove their unity and strength," he told The Associated Press in an interview. "This is a victory for all citizens of Macedonia, regardless of their ethnic background."
State late-term abortions rising
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Although the state appears to have succeeded in stopping one type of late-term abortion, some lawmakers are still upset by the overall number of abortions performed late in pregnancies last year.
Not a single abortion of the type defined in state law as "partial-birth" was performed in Kansas last year, compared with 182 in 1999, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment said.
The number of so-called "Digoxin/Induction" abortions rose to 628 in 2000 from 366 the previous year, according to KDHE.
Republican Sen. Jim Barnett of Emporia, who is a physician, said the procedure involved injection of the drug Digoxin into the fetal heart to end its life and was often used to terminate late-term pregnancies.
In a separate statistical category, KDHE said late-term abortions — those performed
after 22 weeks of pregnancy — increased from 574 in 1999 to 639 in 2000.
Legislators and a state official said the shift in procedures may be the result of a shift in the interpretation of the state's abortion laws.
Under a 1998 law, abortions on a viable fetus are banned, except to save a woman's life or prevent an impairment of a major bodily function.
A separate 1998 law bans partial-birth abortions, except to save a woman's life or to prevent a serious mental or physical health problem.
Critics have said because the partial-birth law contained the specific mental health language, doctors were encouraged to perform the procedure, under the theory it represented the only way a doctor could do a late-term abortion to preserve a woman's mental health.
But Gov. Bill Graves said repeatedly the late-term ban must be read as containing an implied mental health exception. A U.S. Supreme Court
ruling last year in a Nebraska case was consistent with that interpretation.
The KDHE's 1999 statistics specified that all 182 partialbirth abortions were performed to protect the mental health of the woman.
The 2000 statistics show only that all 380 late-term abortions performed on a viable fetus protected the mother from impairment of a major bodily function. None were performed to prevent the mother's death.
Sen. Susan Wagle called the statistics "disturbing."
"The top priority in the Legislature should be banning abortions on viable infants," said Wagle, R-Wichita.
But Rep. L. Candy Ruff said the law should be left alone because the women who received the late-term abortions did so only with great reluctance.
"I'm not in those women's shoes and I'm not going to pass moral judgment," said Ruff, D-Leavenworth.

Nuclear waste to be trucked through Kansas
The Associated Press
A satellite-monitored train will carry a large shipment of high-level nuclear waste through Topeka and Kansas City this summer on its way from the West Valley Demonstration Project in western New York.
The train will pass through 10 states on its 2,360-mile, four-day journey including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and an Idaho Indian reservation before reaching its Idaho Falls, Idaho, destination. The shipment will include 125 spent fuel assemblies, used to power nuclear reactors.
The $16 million shipping project, two years in the planning, involves an agreement with the state of Idaho, extensive talks with states the train will go through and negotiations with four railroads.
West Valley Nuclear Fuel Services reprocessed nuclear fuel rods at their site 35 miles south of Buffalo, N.Y., from 1966 to 1972. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed the West Valley Demonstration Project Act, making the state and federal governments partners in the cleanup.
The fuel assemblies are destined for the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, where they will be stored until the federal government builds permanent storage.
Carol Mongerson of East Concord, who has pushed for the West Valley cleanup for 25 years, said that although the planned shipment was a positive step forward, she remained concerned.
"We're always very nervous when they start shipping spent fuel around, especially since there isn't someplace to put it that isn't somebody else's back yard," she said.
Diane D'Arrigo of the Nuclear Information and Research Service, a Washington-based organization opposed to nuclear waste shipments, said she knew of no plans to protest the West Valley shipment.
"But I wouldn't be surprised if there was opposition (by) certain people along these transport routes." she added.
The nine-inch-thick, steel casks in which the waste will be shipped are engineered to withstand a variety of accidents, including a drop from 30 feet, a 30-minute immersion in 1,475-degree heat and a 40-inch drop onto an eight-inch steel rod on the cask's most vulnerable spot.
They will be shipped one cask per rail car with a combined weight of 120 tons.
Chamberlain said the train's route had been chosen, but was "not cast in stone."

Motivational speaker draws laughter and money

Any KU students who arrived late to Will Keim's speech last night may have hesitated in the doorway when they heard jokes about boobs and campus life instead of the expected motivational speech.
But such is the reaction to Keim, who has lectured to about 2 million college students during his 15-year tenure as a motivational speaker. Though his speech at the Lied Center was peppered with jokes that drew giggles from the audience, the evening was dominated by a more serious intention — raising money for the Children's Miracle Network.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and Delta Gamma sorority sponsored Keim's appearance, which garnered $755 for the CMN to be used at the University of Kansas Medical Center and Children's Mercy Hospital.
"That's the great part about Children's Miracle Network — whatever money they raise in Kansas stews in Kansas," Koehring said.
The donations also are a sweet victory for Keim.

"Two of my children are alive because of the Children's Miracle Network," Keim explained. "My youngest child was born six weeks early, and he weighed just 3.4 pounds. CMN was able to inject him with a medicine that aged his lungs a week in 24 hours."
Since then, Keim, 46, has concentrated on lecturing to college students — including about 400 students last night during his third appearance at the University of Kansas — about leading a vibrant life so that they might graduate from college "with a diploma in one hand and self-esteem in the other."
During a speech that suggested a by-the-numbers approach to life, he offered seven suggestions for improving life and introduced three truths of life.
"One, you are setting a banquet table for the feast you'll eat for the rest of your life," Keim said. "Set it well. Two, life is an attitude. Ten percent is what happens, and 90 percent is how we react to it. Three, we are all interconnected in the tapestry of life. What we do impacts everybody."
Which is why Keim emphasized the importance of serving others

and practicing continuous, not random, acts of kindness.
"Build people up, don't push them down," Keim said with animated
hands as he leaned toward the audience. "Because if students and athletes can't get along on this campus, maybe peace with the Iraqis is out of the question."
Keim reminded students, in the hustle-bustle of campus life, to care for themselves physically, socially, spiritually and sexually.
"To go to bed!" Keim began, in disbelief about the number of hours college students spend awake every day. "And I'm not saying don't drink, but just think about it before you do. Drink responsibly. Think about people who die every 23 minutes because of this," Keim said as he held up a glass of water, asking the audience to imagine it contained alcohol instead.
"Spend 30 minutes every day in reflection, prayer or contemplation," Keim added, as he demonstrated by clasping his hands and praying to "Dear God-slash-big bang theory."
Finally, Keim said, "repeat after me: It's OK not to have sex." The audience abided.
Although Keim emphasized embracing the past, he encouraged students to forgive people who
wronged them so the past could remain there.
"It's time to find something you love," Keim said. "I want you to be my age with no regrets. Chase your dreams. Find something you love to do, and learn to do it well enough that someone will pay you to do it."
Karla Mencer, Olathe sophomore and member of Delta Gamma, said she loved listening to Keim.
"I thought he was extremely motivational," Mender said. "I heard he was incredible. He definitely offered a better outlook of how you should lead your life."
Richard Johnson, dean of students and Keim's former schoolmate at Oregon State University, also enjoyed the event and yelled "Go Beavers!" from the audience when Keim mentioned his college days.
Keim brought his hour-long speech to a close with a few more numbers.
"He's got a great message for students, something they need to hear," Johnson said.
"The average life span is 25,000 days. Keim said." Most of you have spent 6,500 days already. One-quarter of your life is gone. How's it going?"

New city ordinance will require inspections of single-family homes
By Erin Adamson
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
An ordinance that will require landlords to register properties zoned for single-family use and have them inspected was approved by the City Commission last night, but the costs to landlords, tenants and the city are unclear.
The ordinance is one of four housing ordinances the Commission has passed since January. The first housing ordinance changed from four to three the number of unrelated people who could live together in houses
zoned for single family use. The newest ordinance will not go into effect until next winter.

inspected periodically. The commission has not decided how often residences would be inspected.
Dave Corliss, assistant city manager, said the city would not know the cost to the city or landlords until the 2002 budget was completed next winter. He said the city might have to hire another inspector to meet the increased demand for building inspections.
Landlords will have to pay a $25 registration fee every year. The cost to landlords for an inspection of each of their properties has not been estimated by city staff.
Jeff Clark, owner of Clark
Inspection Service Inc., said that he charged $255 for a thorough general inspection of a home and that such an inspection took two hours. He said that, based on his work load now, his business might not be able to increase the amount of inspections it did in the spring and summer months, when demand for inspections was high.
Shaughnessy said the city inspected between 80 and 90 occupied tenant housing units last year. Many more houses would need to be inspected under the new ordinance.
James Dunn, president of the Lawrence Association of Landlords, said that landlords still didn't know

what the ordinance would cost them but that most would pass the extra costs on to tenants.
"Until we know what they are inspecting for, we don't know the costs," Dunn said.
Dunn said rents would be raised because of the limit of three unrelated people who could live together. Though he does not plan on raising rents, he said many landlords who had recently purchased their properties would be unable to lower rents to help tenants.
Landlords will be required to keep a list of tenants to provide to the city. They will also have to provide tenants with educational brochures about maintaining a residence and the tenants' responsibilities to the neighborhood.

Point/Counterpoint
Qualified admissions at Regents universities
Our view: The Kansas Board of Regents' new policy will boost the quality of the University
Next year's freshman class will probably be the most acade
nically successful group the University has had in years. On average, the upcoming class will have higher ACT scores and GPAs, and high school curricula better suited for college-bound students.
These improvements are in part because of the adoption of new admissions standards. Kansas will be the last state to move away from open admissions when the new standards are implemented next fall at all universities governed by the Board of Regents. Under the new standards, Kansas residents must meet any one of three requirements: a score of 21 or higher on the ACT, graduation in the top third of their high school class, or at least a 2.0 GPA in a college preparatory curriculum established by the Regents.
The new GPA requirement will be instrumental in ensuring that high school students have graduated with the tools necessary for success at the university level. According to the U.S.News and World Report's rankings of the top 100 national universities, KU ranked 97th in freshman retention rate last year at only 78 percent. One reason for this high freshman dropout rate is a lack of preparation in high school. The pre-college curriculum prescribed by the Board of Regents will provide students with guidelines to help them choose a college preparatory schedule. These better-prepared students will be more likely to stay at KU past their freshman year until graduation, thereby enhancing the University's academic reputation.
stions is that it could exclude students who are truly motivated academically, but for some reason are unable to reach the required criteria. The new standards, however, have provisions attached to them with those students in mind. Under the provisions, Board of Regents schools will be allowed to admit up to 10 percent of its freshman class as exceptions to the new standards after reviewing their applications on a case-by-case basis. They will also be allowed to admit an unlimited number of students who don't meet the new standards on a conditional basis, requiring them to earn a 2.0 GPA and complete 24 hours their freshman year to gain full admission. Another provision states that any Kansas resident who earns a 2.0 in 24 credit hours at
One could argue that the danger of any system of qualified admis-
admitted. Community college, though often overlooked, is probably the best option for students who aren't quite ready for the academic expectations of a university
Based on these provisions, the new admissions standards should prepare motivated students for college, not prevent them from attending. As Gov. Bill Graves wrote after he signed them into law, "These standards shouldn't be looked upon as a barrier, but as a goal."
The new standard attainable goal one that will raise the quality of the University and its student body.
Dissenting view: Stricter admissions requirements will restrict some from the education they deserve
In 1996, the Kansas legislature passed a bill enacting qualified admissions for all Board of Regents universities. This fall will be the first semester that these qualified admissions standards are implemented.
The standards require that a student have a GPA of at least 2.0 in a pre-college curriculum, an ACT score of 21 or graduate in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class. Although these new standards are not terribly stringent, they do send a message that we as a society are not interested in making our institutions of higher education more accessible.

Kansan staff positions open to every student
Perspective
And then the floodgates will open, and the entire Kansan staff will be appointed for next semester.
In a couple of weeks, next semester's Kansan editor will be chosen. Shortly afterward, two managing editors will be selected.
Reporters could become designers, photographers might start editing copy and a weekly columnist could become a reporter covering a beat.
The turnover at the Kansan every six months always means a rocky start to the next semester. People are learning new jobs, and mistakes sometimes occur.
But the turnover also brings new faces into the newsroom and fresh ideas to each position — both of which are invaluable to a newspaper that works to represent the changing student body at the University of Kansas.

What some people may
Leita Schultes readers' representative opinion@kansan.com
What some people may not realize is that they don't have to be a journalism major to be a part of their newspaper.
In fact, it might be better if they aren't, said Chris Borniger, opinion editor.
"At least on the opinion page, we try to get people who aren't journalism students because we want the page to reflect the voices of the student body as a whole and not just journalism students," he said. It's important that the people who work on the Kansan are diverse in opinion, background, race, political leaning — you name it. It's what allows us to take multiple perspectives and work toward fairness.
Technically, every position at the Kansan is open to any student at the University, said Lori O'Toole. Kansan editor
But realistically, some positions are saved for those students with journalism experience.
Still, that leaves plenty of opportunities — some paying ones — for regular students who want to influence the news published in 11,500 issues and online.
The Kansan needs columnists and cartoonists, feature writers and designers. We'll need editorial board members and illustrators, photographers and online producers.
The Kansan will flourish with increased involvement from the student body, but it's a reciprocal arrangement.
Working at the Kansan is a good way to get involved on campus and make both money and friends, O'Otole said. It's also a good experience to put on a resume.
"People are always saying that any type of writing experience is important," she said. "I think that potential employers could be interested in anything you've done, even if you're not going into newspaper journalism."
"Especially on the opinion page," O'Toole said. "That kind of goes beyond journalism. They can express their opinions; they can suggest things that the University should change. They can point out problems with Lawrence or campus."
But the most gratifying part of working at a newspaper is having the chance — through publishing what you think — to make a difference.
So do something different next semester. Take a chance and put your voice out there. Drop by the newsroom and apply.

I think the leash laws in Lawrence need to be tighter because the guy who lives next to me has a monkey, and it runs around, and it's outrageous. Outrageous!
In addition, state universities are financed by tax dollars. Qualified admissions will force some taxpaying parents to support schools that their children cannot attend.

A common argument is that students who did not succeed in high school have an option other than a university: community college. This argument strongly supports a two-tiered system of education only for students who had advantageous high school careers and who advanced to four-year universities.
However, the only real measure of how well a student can do in college is how they actually do in college. A successful high school career does not guarantee a successful college career and vice versa. The privilege of college should not be awarded based on these criteria.
The essential idea of a public university is that it should be available to the entire public, not just a select portion of it.
State universities should be about education, not image. We should not just educate a select few so that our numbers look good and so that we appear to be serious academics. College is, after all, a privilege.

Letters to the Editor Housing intrudes on schol halls
The department of student housing boasts that residents within the scholarship hall system enjoy a "self-government experience." Recent events, however, indicate the opposite. As the president of a scholarship hall, I have experienced first hand the over-reaching and intrusive arm of housing.
Take for instance the article "Student housing delays decision on new proctor at Watkins Hall" that appeared in the March 16 Kansan. It has been suggested that the delay in proctor selections could be related to the Miller-Watkins lawsuit with the Bank of America. This lawsuit has obviously sparked bitterness between housing and the halls. However, in an effort to make amends (or cover its tracks), housing has certainly turned its financial attention to Miller and Watkins. All of a sudden, these two halls are scheduled to receive air-conditioning and fire-sprinkler systems this summer; a year ago, residents were told the building structure was unable to handle the demands of air conditioning.
If we've learned anything valuable as residents of Miller and Watkins, it is the silliness of bureaucracy and red tape. If it exists in an office such as the department of student housing, it surely exists everywhere else in life. Thanks to housing for preparing us for the real world. Now we are capable of understanding what it takes to stand up and demand fair play.

Bush's tax plan not regressive
John Audlehelm's column in the March 13 Kansan ("The rich must pay more in taxes to help the poor") provided an incorrect assessment of President Bush's tax plan. A correction of all errors made in the column would be fairly lengthy; therefore, I will focus on only one: the suggestion that President Bush's proposed tax plan consists of a regressive tax.
In Audlehelm's bubble gum example, the wealthy person pays a mere 1 percent (1/100) of total income compared to 10 percent (1/10) paid by the poor person. This is clearly a regressive tax—a tax that taxes low-income people more heavily as a proportion of income.
Currently, the United States income tax is a progressive tax—a tax for which rates increase as income increases. For a person with single filing status, the rates range
Ryan Edwards Erie junior
from 15 percent on a taxable income less than $27,050 to 39.6 percent on a taxable income greater than $297,350. For the same person under President Bush's proposal, rates would range from 10 percent on a taxable income less than $6000 to 33 percent on a taxable income greater than $136,180. (Taxable income is a taxpayer's gross income remaining after deducting all adjustments, exemptions, and deductions. For a single taxpayer claiming one personal exemption, a taxable income of $6000 would correspond to a gross income of no less than $1,200). Similar rate reductions are also included for all tax brackets, as well as for a person with a different filing status. Not only is this proposed plan still a progressive tax, but it also reduces rates for the poor, as well as the rich, a fact that should appeal to most Americans, including Mr. Audlehelm.
Helping rich helps everyone
Before I begin, I would like to say that although I may sound Republican, I am just making observations.
I have never heard Republicans say they favor sales tax; they just prefer less income tax. More than 70 percent of the U.S. economic output is from small business, most of which fall within the higher tax brackets. If we ease their burdens, that should boost the economy. Also, in case you forgot, Bush's plan still taxes the rich the highest. It also drops millions from paying any income taxes, but the liberals here at the Kansan discount (or forget) that.
The article also stated that Reagan's cuts did not work, causing deficits. What caused the deficits was not the tax cuts but increased spending, most of which went to fight Russia in the cold war. Russia was bankrupted because it tried to keep up with our spending. In essence, it was a big poker game in which the stakes were far greater than the deficits. If these liberal journalists look back to see what Reagan did, they would not criticize him—he saved this country from nuclear war! Yes, the result was a huge debt, but one we should be willing to pay if it meant peace.
Now, we are closing in on a bear market. Tax cuts will help more quickly than rate cuts to boost the economy. I applaud Bush for trying to save the economy. Whether his plan has bugs in it right now is a minor detail. The idea is the main goal.
is like saying ballplayers do not play baseball. Common sense tells me that if people have money, they will spend it. If they spend it on services, big deal.
The article also mentioned how the rich won't spend their money. That
They are driving the biggest sector of the economy! Also, why do you not think the rich will not give to charities? They are tax deductions! It is not the best of motives, but it works. If I could find ways to reduce paying 39 percent on taxes, I would do so. That is also common sense.

Christianity can close minds
Sheri Martin's column provoked adamant rebuttal. The writers were obviously more concerned with making their point than making any sense thereof.
Being a "born-and-raised Christian" does not mean she is one now any more than saying I was born and raised in Leavenworth means I am there now.
Not that it matters because attacking her faith does nothing to refute her argument. Further, to imply that she considers kindness and unselfish love to be outdated values is to assume that they are exclusively Christian. For two millennia, Christian theologians struggled to interpret and reinterpret doctrines to ever-changing values. There are now so many interpretations, dogma can probably be twisted to support anything. The only way to make sense of the religion is to trace it to its roots. In them, God was a male deity. People talk of Virgin Mary without mentioning males' virginities. It is a sexist system, the product of a sexist society. (Yes, I am a male saving this.)
Faith is not a bad thing, but it should not be used as an excuse for a closed mind. Perhaps if people listened to what Martin had to say, their attacks on her would not be so empty.

Greed drives athletics cuts
It is apparent that athletics director Bob Frederick's announcement to eliminate the men's tennis and swimming and diving programs follows an alarming pattern in men's athletics, primarily among smaller universities that cannot respond to Title IX with increased spending for women's programs. But as managers of a major state university and shapers of tomorrow's citizens, athletics directors have a higher calling. They carry, in addition to their administrative duties, the responsibility of serving the citizens of their
state with options not available else where. And the decision to eliminate these programs may be extremely short-sighted.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that the greed associated with professional football, basketball, and baseball is beginning to drive people away from these sports — as if ticket prices alone would not accomplish this. But TV viewing is dropping at a time when these sports are demanding public-supported arenas to facilitate the outlandish salaries and lifestyles of what were at one time heros and role models. The backlash is only a matter of time. As a public servant, Frederick bears the responsibility of finding a way to support the minor sports now, so that he can, at the very least, demonstrate to his constituants that his support of athletics is universal and aimed at contributing graduates to society who are not simply performing to enhance their pocketbooks.
He also owes it to graduating high schoolers to demonstrate that opportunities beyond the traditional sports do exist and are worthy goals for these young people. I think he devalues or has not considered the work ethics involved in non-hero-worship sports.
These minor sports, or cult sports, require an inner strength and focus that these young people will take into the world as responsible graduates and adults. They are not recipients of the kind of adulation given to the "major" money-making sports. As a result, they face no illusions about who they are and become realistic, responsible citizens—and ultimate team players in our society. And at a time when so many sports stars seem to think that they are owed a right of passage because of heroes on the athletics field.
It is true that TITLE IX has created a backlash for men's athletics that was not intended in the name of equality. And it is true that the minor sports do depend on the money-generating capability of the major sports.
But it is also true that the goal of a public institution is to provide equal opportunity for as many students as feasible and mold responsible adults to send into the world. I believe that your goal is to take the high ground and establish objectives that will support these ideals, then use creativity to find a way to achieve them. To simply cave in to the numbers is a weak case. Not everyone can be a football, basketball or baseball player. And many don't want to be.
Roger Binkley Austin, Texas, resident
With state government failing to adequately fund higher education, the University of Kansas should look to its own Athletics Department for ways to overcome budget woes.
Athletics offers budget advice
First, eliminate nonrevenue-producing majors, such as education and social welfare. Most of these alumni will never earn enough money to make significant donations or leave hefty endowments to KU.
Second, class space should be allocated to the highest bidders. Need a class to graduate on time? It'll cost you. This approach could also be used for admittance to degree programs. Wealthy parents could make hefty donations to get their kids into competitive or highly regarded degrees such as business, law and medicine. Unfortunately, students from lower socio-economic backgrounds would be relegated to the "cheap seats" (English, journalism, fine arts, etc).
Finally, the University should sell advertising space on chalkboards and above building and classroom doors.
Granted, these measures might alienate many people who have enthusiastically supported KU for decades, but that's the cost of busine

... uh ... education.
Teams will fight for existence
I am writing this letter in support of saving the University of Kansas men's swimming and diving team and the men's tennis team. The $600,000 that cutting these programs saves does not seem like a huge amount of money to cut from the athletics budget. Surely there are other ways to do this instead of cutting two programs entirely.
It seems to me that simple across the board cuts to the entire Athletics Department (including administrative cuts as well as cuts to all the athletics programs) would solve the problem. I cannot believe that cutting these two programs was the only solution available. I agree with my son; it seems as though someone took the easy way out. Perhaps it was thought that these kids would just take the news and quietly go away. Well, think again — they are fighting for what they know is right! I am behind them 100 percent and will keep fighting with them until a solution is found and these programs are reinstated.

Spring break-up
Freshman aids couple's split on MTV show
By Sarah Smarsh

Kansas staff writer
One University of Kansas student did more than lay out and drink alcohol during her spring break vacation in Cancun, Mexico — she played a part in the breakup of a relationship on national television.
Khadija Abuyouiss, Overland Park freshman, found her way onto MTV as one of singles on Spring Break Survivors. The show, a combination of FOX's TEMPORATION and CBS Survivor, was a segment of MTV annual spring break programming.
MTV selected 10 girls and 10 guys from the island to put a New York cou
ple to the test. The pair picked three dates from the "spring flingers." Abuyousif was one of them.
She said she and her date, Chris, who had been seeing the same girl for one and a half years, hit it off during their date on the "Island of Women." He was so

The date consisted of a fancy dinner, dancing at a nightclub and a lot of drinking. It concluded in a hotel room, where the two kissed.

and called it quits.
"She called me ugly on national television," Abyouvous said, adding MTV assigned her a bodyguard for the hour following the show.
Elaine Abuyousif, Khadija's mother, accompanied her daughter to Cancun. She said both of them were wary about the show because of MTV's notoriously raunchy spring break programs.
Elaine said the network used clever editing to paint her daughter as a calous tempress.
"Shedidn'treallydoanything—the guy had made up his mind on his own," she said.
Abuysouf said she and Christ had no plans for a relationship. She said she would do the show again, but was surprised by its outcome.
"It was kind of awkward, because they did break up," she said.

MRC gets equipped with new computers
Students looking for a quiet computer lab on campus in a less-congested location can now find solace in the Multicultural Resource Center.
When the lab is completely furnished, it will include four PCs, an iMac, a scanner and free printing services. Internet access and the layout program Adobe Pagemaker will be available.
Once home to only a few aging Macintosh computers, the MRC, thanks to a partnership with Academic Computing Services, is now equipped with three new computers and is expecting to receive two more in the upcoming weeks.
MRC program director Santos Nunez said the lab was smaller than most of the other public labs on campus, but the size was one of its advantages.
"This particular lab has a more cozy atmosphere," she said.
She also said it was convenient because students being tutored in the MRC who needed to type something
quickly would have the lab at their disposal.
As word of mouth spread about the new lab, which has only been operational for a few weeks, more students have began to use it, Nunez said.
She said one student commented about the unreaded computers.
"He likes them because they're fast," she said.
Nunez stressed the lab was open to all students at the University of Kansas, not just those who used the MRC for additional services.
That was the primary reason ACS agreed to extend its computing services to the MRC, said Cathy Smith, assistant vice chancellor of academic computing.
With the addition of the MRC lab, there are now six public labs on campus in addition to 12 restricted labs and seven residence hall labs.
"It's an opportunity for them to promote diversity," she said. "I'm hoping this will increase the visibility of the MRC."
Nunez said the lab benefited both ACS and the MRC.

The MRC was established in 1995 in part to "create an environment in which individuals could learn to respect and appreciate cultural diversity," according to the center's Web site. Other features of the facility include a small auditorium, a resource room with video and print libraries and meeting spaces.
The MRC is located next to the Military Science Building.

Crashed U.S. fighters identified in Scotland
The Associated Press
LONDON — Search teams found a body and the wreckage of an F-15 jet near a mountaintop in the Scottish Highlands where two U.S. fighter planes disappeared, the Royal Air Force said yesterday.
The aircraft — each with one pilot on board — disappeared 45 minutes after taking off Monday from Lakenheath air base, 75 miles northeast of London.
The U.S. Air Force at Lakenheath identified the missing men as Lt. Col. Kenneth Hyvonen and Capt. Kirk Jones. There was no immediate indication of their ages or home states.
British and American military aircraft, plus police, air force and civilian rescue teams, carried out a search in deteriorating weather Monday and from first light yesterday.
F-15 wreckage and one body were spotted yesterday near the summit of 4,296-foot Ben Macdhui, the tallest peak in the Cairngorms, which rise in the central Highlands of Scotland and are Britain's highest mountain range.
The F-15 accident and the crash Monday of a U.S. Army reconnaissance plane in Germany that killed two pilots are the latest in a string of American military accidents in recent weeks.
In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. Craig Quigley said recent fatal U.S. military accidents did not necessarily mean there was a problem with force readiness.
"They're not all the same type of airplane. They're not all in the same part of the world. They're not all doing the same sort of mission. It's very diverse." Quigley told a Pentagon briefing.
The crashed reconnaissance plane, a twin-propeller Army RC-12 used to locate radar and electronic communications, went down in a forest near Nuremberg, Germany.
Fatal training accidents are by no means rare. On March 3, an Army C-23 Sherpa crashed in Georgia, killing all 21 people on board. On March 12, five American servicemen and one New Zealand army officer were killed when a U.S. Navy F/A-18 mistakenly hit them with bombs during training in Kuwait.
On Feb. 12, two Army Black Hawk helicopters collided during a nighttime training session in Hawaii, killing six soldiers.
Statistics show U.S. military aviation has become safer in recent years. For the fiscal year ended last Sept. 30, the military aviation accident rate was 1.23 per 100,000 flight hours, the lowest ever recorded.
Judge: race in admissions wrong
Michigan law school plans to appeal ruling
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Dealing another setback to affirmative action, a federal judge ruled yesterday the use of race in admissions at the University of Michigan law school was unconstitutional.
U. S. District Judge Bernard Friedman, in a case closely watched by educators across the country, acknowledged there was a "long and tragic history of race discrimination in this country."
But he said the law school's goal of achieving a racially diverse student body was not a compelling state interest — and even if it were, the school had not narrowly tailored its use of race to achieve the goal.
"Whatever solution the law school elects to pursue it must be race-neutral," the judge said. "The focus must be upon the merit of individual applicants, not upon characteristics of racial groups."
The ruling conflicts with another federal judge's decision upholding a similar admissions policy used for University of Michigan undergraduates. The two cases could ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The university said it would appeal Friedman's ruling immediately.
"His ruling overturns over 20 years of settled law and the practices of virtually every selective college and university in the country," said Liz Berry, associate vice president and deputy general counsel. "But we are confident that we will prevail because of the overwhelming evidence that diversity is critical to education."
The ruling was praised by the Center for Individual Rights, the conservative legal group that brought both Michigan lawsuits.
Given the millions of dollars spent by the university to defend its position, the ruling is "a huge shot across the bow for the entire higher education community." said Terence Pell, the organization's chief executive.
Affirmative action has been abandoned by public universities in Florida, Texas and California, and the use of race and gender in awarding public contracts has also come under strong legal attack around the country.
The Michigan law school case was brought on behalf of Barbara Grutter, who said she was unfairly denied admission in 1997 because minorities with lower grades and test scores got preferential treatment.
The law school adopted its affirmative action policy in 1992. It relies first on an applicant's grades and exam scores. But it also gives consideration to applicants who have lower scores but

"may help achieve that diversity which has the potential to enrich everyone's education."
The university argued the law school's policies complied with a 1978 Supreme Court's decision which allowed consideration of race in admissions but outlawed racial quotas.
Miranda Massie, an attorney for a group of students who intervened on the university's side, said Friedman's ruling would intensify racial inequalities.
"We don't need any institutions in this society to be reserved for white people alone," she said. "If this decision is sustained, that would be its impact."
In the undergraduate admissions case, U.S. District Judge Patrick Duggan affirmed Michigan's standards in December, saying they were a constitutional way to achieve diversity. That case was brought on behalf of two whites denied admission.
The Michigan cases appear ultimately headed to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. If federal appeals courts come to conflicting conclusions, the Supreme Court may feel compelled to sort it all out.

Lawrence senior Amnesia Tubbs walks a child out to the bus after a hard day of work. Tubbs works at Prairie Park Elementary School, 2711 Kensington Road, with autistic children. Autism is a disorder that impairs a person's ability to communicate, interact with other people and maintain normal contact with the outside world.
lessons in patience
good teachers helped Ameshia Tubbs realize her potential now she's trying to help others reach theirs
story and photos by mindie miller kansan managing editor

meshia Tubbs winses as a child lets loose a high-pitched howl.
*Tubbs* 'pulse quickens, and her muscles tense. It's her body's natural response to something that happens every fifteen minutes where she works.
Yelling and screaming children are par for the course at the autism room in Prairie Park Elementary School, 2711 Kensington Road.
Tubbs' students cry or scream when they get frustrated. They have bitten, hit and kicked Tubbs. In some instances, she is forced to restrain students to protect them, herself or other students.
Tubbs, Lawrence senior in education,
spends about 20 hours a week at the school,
teaching children with autism, a disorder
that impairs their ability to communicate,
interact with other people and maintain
normal contact with the outside world. She
works in the autism room with six of the
seven children, who range in age from
kindergarten to fifth grade.
She said she'd learned to take a step back and calm down before she started working with these students again.
"I have learned how to be really attentive to my threshold," she said. "There are days when it's like, 'Why do I do this?' ... But it's really rewarded."
Part of what makes it rewarding is the chance it gives Tubbs to influence her students' lives the way past teachers have influenced hers. Things were rough for Tubbs during high school, when she said she lived a "pretty unhealthy lifestyle." But her faith in God and a few teachers who challenged her to think bigger has set her on her current path — one she intends to continue following.
"I always want to be working with children with special needs," she said.
Patience — a necessary virtue
She reads each number in a commanding, deliberate tone. Sometimes the fourth-grader repeats after her; other times he bends his head toward her hand and rests his forehead there. The gesture looks sweet, but it's discouraged. Tubbs constantly must remind David not to stim, or fixate on objects or actions, a characteristic behavior in children with autism.
David fidgets in his chair and does everything he can to avoid paying attention to Tubbs, who's trying to get him to recite his phone number.
Carol Danner, lead autism teacher at Prairie Park, said working with autistic children required a great deal of composure.
"You have to be very, very patient," she said. "Ameshia is willing to work with any of the students. She has the patience to work with the kids."
Just about every day, a student will exhibit a behavior that catches Tubbs off guard, and she'll have to think quickly to come up with a way to redirect the child's behavior. The
challenge of working in such an environment — one that's constantly in flux — is part of what draws Tubbs to her work.
"I like it because you never know what to expect." she said.
It's that same unpredictability that keeps Tubbs and the nine other para educators at Prairie Park's autism room on their toes, ready to fend off physical attacks.
Tubbs: teaches autistic children at a local elementary school
In addition to Tubbs, three other University students work as para educators in the Lawrence School District, said Joe Nyre, adjunct professor of education as well as assistant director of the district's special services and co-director of the Kansas Psychological Training Consortium.
Standing 5-feet tall with a slender build Tubs is very much aware that her size is a disadvantage when working with children who sometimes have aggressive outbursts.
"Some of our best paras are students working on their education degrees," he said. "They're very motivated, and they bring best practices to the table. It's mutually beneficial."
Helping the helpless
Tubbs' size likely will be an ongoing concern.
She expects to graduate in May 2002 with a degree in middle-secondary education—a degree she hopes will land her a job teaching special-needs students at an inner-city middle or high school.
But even working with elementary school children can be physically challenging, Tubbs said. Sometimes they're stronger than she is, and if there's a behavior problem, it gets hard to handle. Teaching older
students will pose an even greater challenge.
students will pose an even greater challenge. But Tubbs is determined to give it a go. She has her eye on J.C. Harmon, a large high school in Kansas City, Kan, where a high percentage of students speak English as a second language, qualify for free or reduced lunch and come from single-parent backgrounds.
"That's really my heart as far as teaching." Tubbs said. "I'd like to be in an urban area."
Ihos said. "I like to be in an urban area."
Her own educational experiences have led to that attraction. Though Tubbs grew up in Lawrence, the demographics at the schools she attended were similar to those at larger, urban schools.
BOWLING
She started at East Heights Elementary and moved through Central Junior High the schools with the lowest socioeconomic status and highest diversity of any of the 20 elementary schools and four middle schools in Lawrence.
Since graduating from Lawrence High School and coming to the University, Tubbs has participated in several alternative break programs, which took her places like Detroit, Cleveland, and Compton, Calif., to work with children in large, urban school settings. Her experiences have made her realize that she can help people who feel like they can't help themselves.
"One thing that I'm learning is that there's always access to resources," she said. "I think, a lot of times, people just don't know how to go about getting the things that they need for their school."
Unleashing inspiration
Tubbs has taken her inspiration, in part, from her own teachers.
Her kindergarten teacher employed techniques that weren't being used on a large scale in education at the time. She also knew how active kindergartners were, Tubbs said, and she came up with a way to release some of that energy while developing her students' motor skills.
"My kindergarten teacher taught me how to break dance," she said, laughing.
The teacher who had the greatest impact on Tubbs came into her life when she needed her most — in high school. The three years Tubbs spent at Lawrence High weren't her best.
"I led a pretty unhealthy lifestyle," she said. "My focus was getting out. I'd been blessed with the ability not to have to work too hard to do pretty well."
So she didn’t — until Fran McNellis challenged her. McNellis, who taught histori and
politics, had a reputation for being the hardest teacher at the school. Tubbs said, but she also had a way of getting people on track without pinpointing their faults. Tubbs chose to take three classes from McNellis.
Tubbs entered the University's School of Education her junior year. When she graduates, she'll be certified to teach social studies, but she'll have a provisional special education endorsement as well.
She knows working with special-needs children will be challenging. And although prayer helps get her through tough moments, she knows she may eventually burn out. For now, however, she relishes her work.
"I guess my thing is that I don't give up on anybody," Tubbs said. "I just see so much potential in those kids sometimes, and it's just a matter of helping them to see it and then getting the resources so that they have access to opportunities."
Fubbs holds up one of the children from the autism room while Betty Ware, a fellow para educator, plays with another child on a bouncy toy. Nine part- and full-time para educators work at the autism room in Prairie Park.

Swim team alumni have until June 30 to raise funds
By Brandon Stinnett
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Mike Calwell and a group of 10 Kansas swimming alumni aren't turning back in their efforts to save the men's swimming and diving team.
Calwell, a co-captain for Kansas in 1963, said the alumni decided yesterday in a group teleconference they would press forward with fund raising desiite looming difficulties.
On Sunday, Kansas athletics director Bob Frederick set a June 30 deadline for the group to raise $740,000 to keep the program running for the next two years.
In a letter sent to the group, Frederick offered a proposal that would lead to the swimming and diving team's reinstatement.
In addition to the first $740,000, the group would have to raise $1.36 million to fund the program from 2003-06. After that, it would require $10 million for an endowment fund to keep the team financed indefinitely. The endowment would have to be in place by June 30, 2006.
YOUR GUEST
Calwell said the group was saddened by the Athletics Department's failure to respond.
failure to offer any financial support.
"The request has singled out swimming and diving to do something that no other sports are asked to do." Calwell said.
The June 30 deadline doesn't leave the group much time to raise the money. Calwell
said the group was not deterred, but it was angry.
"We're pretty much upset with the lack of a show of faith," Calwell said.
He said the quickly looming deadline and the large amount of money needed for the endowment lead him to think the University was trying to scare the alumni into giving up their fight.
Frederick said that wasn't so. He said the $750,000 was needed to avoid a deficit next year.
"We can't start the new fiscal year with a deficit budget," Frederick said. "That would be the last possible date that we could have the money."
Calwell said the group was looking into taking further action against the Athletics Department and the University for the actions surrounding the swimming and div
ing team's elimination. The group might ask the Kansas Board of Regents and the Kansas legislature to examine the decision.
Calwell said both Frederick's and Chancellor Robert Heinemen's leadership abilities should be questioned after what the group considered a baskety decision.
"Being autocratic has its hazards," Calwell said. "Dictators never last too long."
Frederick said the Athletics Department had been open and cooperative throughout the ordeal.
"We've been up front and honest and shared all of our cost figures with anyone who wants them," Frederick said. "We can't do it any other way."
Frederick said the department would be glad to offer funding to the swimming and diving team if money was made available in the future, but for now it was not an option.
'Hawk walk-ons savor tourney spotlight
"We've got to be able to fund the programs that we have, and it's difficult," he said.

Kansan sportswriter
Todd Kappelmann will never forget the final moments of Kansas' NCAA Tournament first round victory against Cal-State Northridge.
The clock in Dayton Arena read 1:19 remaining, and the scoreboard showed the Jayhawks ahead 94-73, well on their way to a 99-75 victory. Kappelmann, a junior walk-on from Augusta, was kneeling in front of the scorer's table, about to enter his first NCAA Tournament game. Alongside him were fellow junior walk-on Lewis Harrison, Brett Ballard and Chris Zerbe, as well as junior forward Jeff Carey, a group that makes up the Red Team — the squad that gets the Kansas starters ready to play on game days.
For just a moment Kappelmann got knots in his stomach before settling down and helping the Jayhawks shut down the Matadors for the final minute.
"I was in so much awe from actually playing at Kansas to begin with that this was no different than any other game," Kappelmann said after the game. "I've been a fan all my life and watched ever since they made the Final Four in 1991, but it's really something to actually get to come out here and be part of it."
He also put himself on the stat sheet when he logged an assist two nights later in Kansas' 87-58 dismantling of Syracuse, forever freezing himself into Kansas basketball history.
The other walk-ons also wrote their own chapters of Kansas basketball at the tournament.
Harrison, a Kansas City native, sank his first career three-pointer in the waning seconds against Syracuse and had a rebound against Northridge. Zerbe, from Andover, scored four points and grabbed a rebound in the games. Both did so with dozens of family and friends watching on TV.
"I remember in high school I used to try to convince the teachers to turn on the games while we were sitting in class," Harrison
said, remembering his days at Piper High School in Kansas City, Kan. "Maybe someone was getting to watch me play."
Certainly the Zerbes were watching.
Certainly the Zerbes were watching.
"I talked to a couple of my cousins, and they had 25 people at their house to watch the game," Zerbe said after the Northridge game. "They said 'You should have heard it,' because it was so loud over there. They record every game."
Those tapes will be watched for years to come, and although the Zerbes will most likely replay Chris's highlights again and again, one of the most frequent faces on the game tape will always be Ballard.
Ballard, a Hutchinson native, logged career highs with 18 minutes, eight points and five assists against Northridge. He
played 14 minutes and had three points against Syracuse, and added eight more minutes against Illinois in the season finale. Clearly, Ballard broke away from the Red Team label by season's end because injuries forced him into a full-time spot in the Kansas rotation. Zerbe said that hurt the Red Team in practice, but the team was proud of Ballard's improvement.
"The Red team, we were disappointed to lose him, but he does a good job for the blue team," Zerbe said. "He played real well and did all of the little things that Coach likes."
Ballard credited his strong performance in Dayton to his increased mid-season playing time. He said his NCAA Tournament experience was fun, and he wasn't nervous about it.
"We getting to play so much down the stretch, I've been getting kind of used to it," Ballard said. "I just tried not to think that this was the NCAA Tournament and I tried to just go out there and play."
But some goals were left unmet, and Zerbe said the Red Team and the rest of the 'Hawks had unfinished business to take care of next season.
"We did win our first tournament of the year and we were really close to winning the Big 12 Conference championship, but we didn't get that and we fell short," Zerbe said. "Satisfied? No, not really, but we've all got to work harder in the offseason so we can accomplish that next year."

Fortunately for Kansas (15-15), two pitchers, sophomore Kirsten Milhoan and junior Kelly Campbell, countered weak offensive performances to shut down the Kangaroos 2-0 and 7-2.
The Kansas softball team wasn't thrilling yesterday, but it did just enough to sweep a doubleheader against the University of Missouri-Kansas City at Javhawk Field.
"I didn't think we came to the ballpark ready to play," Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said. "We kind of walked on the field expecting to win, so I was disappointed by that."
"I came out with a pretty determined mindset to come out hard, throw hard and throw the whole game," said Milhoan, a sophomore transfer from El Paso Community College. "I think I've thrown this well before against some really high ranked teams but I didn't get the same outcome. I just wanted to throw well and throw a complete game."
Milhoan was particularly effective, holding the 'Roos (7-20) to three hits with no walks and a career-high seven strikeouts in the opener.
Campbell surrendered two runs on four hits in the second game. She also set a career high with five strikeouts.
"Both pitchers did a good job today," Bunge said. "Kirsten really seemed in command of her pitches. This was the kind of team she felt like she could go after and not be so fine, and she did that well. I thought she did some real good things and I hope this will be a confidence builder for her going down the road."
Offensively, the Jayhawks struggled to sustain a rally. In the first game Kansas
hitters went a combined 0-for-6.
"I don't think clutch hitting has been a real problem, I just think it's been inconsistent," Bunge said. "There've been some games when we've been dynamic hitters with two outs and others when we've been extremely poor."
"I just kind of shake my head at this team," Bunge said. "It seems that it takes them getting behind before they really turn it on. It's nice that they can do that, but on the other hand you hate to wait to get behind and make mistakes before you get it going because you can't always just turn it on."
The bats came alive for Kansas in the second game, but only after the 'Roos built a 2-0 lead.
Junior left fielder Christi Musser provided much of the offense for the Jayhawks in the second game. Her double sparked a fourth inning rally and she added a two-run home run in the fifth, the first of her career.
Kansas, now riding a four-game winning streak, will jump right back into action today when Arkansas travels to Lawrence for a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m.

Loss of seniors is devastating to outdoor track season success
After placing eighth in the nation during the indoor season, the men's track and field team won't be worth its pink shorts this outdoor season.
I'm the biggest supporter of the track team outside of the athletes' immediate families and Jim Ryun, but I've come to the conclusion the team will be missing its firepower this spring.
The reason for the team's sudden lack of spark is simple — the Jayhawks will be without seniors Charlie Gruber, Andy Morris, Scott Russell and Jabari Wamble. Kansas coach Stanley Redwine announced last week all four would redshirt this outdoor season.
Without these four, the only consistently good athlete on the men's team is junior thrower Ryan Speers, who finished in sixth place in the shot put at the 2001 NCAA Indoors.
These four seniors are the core of the men's team. Without them, the team that went from a 47th place finish in the 2009 NCAA Indoor Championships to an eight-place finish at this year's championships earlier this month will flounder in the ranking doldrums of every scored meet it competes in this season.
Russell, an All-American, is the most obvious loss to the program, as he is the defending Canadian National Champion in the javelin. His presence was dearly missed by the team when he redshirted the 2000 indoor season. I say "dearly" because the team placed 47th without him. This year, he placed third in the 35-pound weight throw at the NCAA Indoors with a heave of 76-feet-7-inches. He's also the defending Big 12 champ in the javelin and a four-time All-American. How about that for a bio?
And although Russell seems the most obvious choice for track and field supporters to cry about, Morris, Gruber and Wamble are worth shedding a tear, too.
Morris is the lone male multi-event athlete on the track team, which means that without him the Jayhawks won't have a single competitor in the decathlon or the defending Big 12 champ in the pentathlon. Morris is only the second Kansas athlete to hold that title. And, because the pentathlon isn't held at every meet during the season, Morris also competes in the events that make up the decathlon when there is none. So losing him is like losing a point-earning sprinter, a hurdler, a jumper and a pole vaulter from the team instead of one athlete. Ouch.
Wamble is a former team captain who performs well in the 200 and 400 meters. He's an awesome leader, a good student and a well-respected athlete. He's the school record holder in the indoor 200 meters with a time of 21.65. He was also a member, along with Gruber, of the Kansas Distance Medley Relay team that placed first at the indoor Big 12 Championships this year.
And then there's Gruber. Even though he's not as high-profile as Russell, he's right up there in terms of accolades. He's an All-American, a two-time winner of the Big 12 outdoor 1,500 meter run, and he qualified for the 2000 Olympic trials. He broke the four-minute barrier in the mile when he placed second at this year’s indoor NCAAs.
In each event, the men's team will have to go without a top performer in the throwing, sprinting, multi-event and distance running events. Again, ouch.
Without these guys, poor Ryan Speers will have to carry the weight of the men's team on his broad shoulders. Good thing Speers can squat something like 600 pounds — he'll need those strong legs to perform under the dead weight of the rest of the team.
But these guys are taking a redshirt for a good reason: they want to be the best they can be in their final collegiate seasons. Taking this outdoor season off means they'll have time to train an extra season for next year's competition and, consequently, be that much better in 2002.
I look forward to that.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 28). You've never been especially practical, but you will be this year. You're enthusiastic about a group project in April, but money is tight. Don't bug. Instead, sell something in May. Share your street smarts in June with a friend who only has book smarts. It's easier to relax at home in July when you think of the money you're saving. Don't spend it all in August just for the fun of it. Save some so that you can travel in December. Have friends come to your house in February, but save most of March for quiet time.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
Make practical preparations for your weekend excursion. Make sure you have your tickets and reservations. You might not have to foot the bill for everything, either. Let your playmate pitch in when appropriate.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
You're about to be proven right again. You always knew you were right, but others may have doubted you. One particularly annoying older person did. He's right about one thing, and you're right about another, but yours trumps his. Be gracious.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
A suspicion is about to be confirmed. Someone you thought was pretty shiny may have feet of clay. Forgive this person and remain friends. Your sense of awe may have been unrealistic from the start.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
A friend's advice is right on target now. You may be doing a job the hard way. You can't figure this out by yourself because you don't know any better. Talk about your frustration with a person who has more experience.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
You'd like to be the one to call the shots, but that may not happen. You'd be wise to follow orders instead. Your opinion will be more warmly received tomorrow. Today, keep it to yourself.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 7.
The answer you’re seeking is harder to find than you thought. You might have to travel or take a class in order to find it. Don’t despair, because this could turn out to be great. How long has it been since you’ve had a vacation?
Libra (sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5.
A serious discussion with a loved one about money may be required. Somebody may not have been paying their fair share. Or even worse, they may have been spending too much. Take time to design a budget you can both live with.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
The job is demanding, but the money is good.
Unfortunately, expenses may be high. Try not to
spend more than you make on this deal. Enlist the
aid of an expert pennypincher. Then, just do what
you're told.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
You may not usually love your work. You'd rather be out playing. But today, working with a fun person could change everything. Hopefully you can work with this person, because it's the only way you'll get to spend much time together.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Home is where your heart is, and the rest of you ought to be there, too. You and a loved one need to spend more time together. You might share secret hopes and dreams.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
You may be sick of the same old routine, but you can't break away quite yet. You can make arrangements, though, like a date for tomorrow night. Don't wait until the weekend.
©
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You're getting smarter, and probably richer, too. Your new skills aren't used entirely to provide more services; you may also be learning how to negotiate a better deal. That really is a better use of your brains

Recruit Simien injured, will miss honors game
Kansas signee Wayne Simien won't play in tonight's McDonald's All-American game after re-injuring his right shoulder during practice Monday in Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C.
Simien originally injured the shoulder when it popped out of place in a game against Shawnee Mission East during the regular season. He attempted to play in Leavenworth's first round sub-state game against Free State, but played just more than a minute in the loss to the Firebirds.
Portland, Ore., recruit Aaron Miles a point-guard, is the only other future Jayhawk playing in the McDonald's game, which can be seen at 8 p.m. on ESPN.

KANSAS GOLF
STEVINSON, Calif. — The Kansas men's golf team survived brutal conditions and claimed its second victory in as many years at the Stevinson Ranch Invitational. The Jayhawks carded a final round 302 yesterday en route to a 54-hole total of 899 at the par-72 Stevinson Ranch Golf Club.
Golfers beat weather claim third victory
Fierce wind conditions and chilly temperatures hampered play, but Kansas, which was tied with Tulsa after Monday's 36-hole first round, earned its third team victory of the season.
"It was very windy and conditions were not good," said coach Ross Randall. "We certainly did not play our best, but it is nice to have both a team and individual win. I am very pleased."
Kansas junior Travis Hurst posted his second victory of the season with a final-round 71 en route to a 213.
The Jayhawks will be in action again April 2-3 when they travel to Santa Cruz, Calif., to compete in the 55th Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo Golf Club.

Moe, is the new men's basketball coach at Emporia State.
Emporia State athletics director Kent Weiser made the announcement ves-
terday at a news conference. "I've prepared my whole life to become a head basketball coach," Moe said yesterday.
whose contract was not renewed after the Hornets finished 9-17 (3-15 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association) last season.
Moe, 37, has spent 13 years as an assistant, starting as a graduate assistant on the national championship 1987-88 Kansas team, and going on to Texas Tech and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Moe replaces Marc Comstock,
Buffalo head coach Ricardo
tonto praised his former assistant.
"I recognize that he is a bright, young coach who is ready to run his own program — and has been for quite some time." Patton said.
Charlotte freshman to enter NBA draft
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte forward Rodney White, who led Division I freshmen in scoring this season, is leaving school to enter the NBA draft.
White, an honorable mention All-American, averaged more than 19 points and led the 49ers to the Conference USA tournament championship and the second round of the NCAA tourney.
Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz said he has been told White would be a firstround pick in June's NBA draft. White has not signed with an agent yet, meaning he could return to school if he changed his mind.
SuperSonics sign coach after stint as interim
NBA
SEATTLE — SuperSonics interim coach Nate McMillan signed a four-year coaching deal yesterday, a reward for restoring stability to the team after former coach Paul Westphal was fired early this season.
Seattle has gone 33-25 in the tough Western Conference since McMillan was named interim coach in November, when the team was 6-9 and plagued by bickering among players and Westphal.
"The Sonics are my home," McMillan said. "I feel good about the future, and I am very happy to know that I'll have a chance to prove myself here."
McMillan, 36, served as an assistant to Westphal for the previous two seasons after spending his entire 12-year playing career with the Sonics.
Terms of his contract were not disclosed by the team, and McMillan's agent, Lonnie Cooper of Career Sports in Atlanta, declined to discuss dollar amounts or other details

Wrist surgery likely for Red Sox's slugger

BOSTON
RED SUX
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Nomar Garciapara is likely to miss at least the first 2 1/2 months of the season — and possibly up to four
The Boston Red Sox shortstop said yesterday the probability of surgery was
"extremely high." The two-time defending AL batting champion, who split a tendon in the wrist when he was hit by a pitch from Baltimore's Al Reyes in September 1999, is to meet with the team doctor today.
"It seems like we've kind of exhausted a lot of our options right now," Garciaparra said.
Garciaparra played with the injury last season — but was on the disabled list from May 12-27 because of a strained hamstring. He said last year there was minor soreness in the wrist but nothing that would cause him to sit out and wound up hitting a league-leading .372.
Though no final decision has been made, Gariacapia sounded as if he was resigned to an operation. He hasn't had an at-bat this spring.
The loss of the three-time All-Star would be a huge blow to the team's hope to make the playoffs. Boston also will start the season missing third baseman John Valentin, who's trying to come back from knee surgery, and pitcher David Cone, who has a sore shoulder.

76ers hope loss streak is good omen
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Larry Brown's only championship in 28 years of coaching came after his 1988 Kansas team lost five games in a row.
Now Brown hopes that his current team, the Philadelphia 76ers, follows the same path.
The Sixers snapped a five-game losing streak Monday with a win against Milwaukee, ending their worst skid in three years.
"I had one team lose five in a row, and they won the national championship." Brown said. "I was hoping that was an omen."
Despite the victory, it remains to be seen if Philadelphia's misery is finished.
Several starters have injuries, ranging from Eric Snow's ankle and Aaron McKie's shoulder soreness to Allen Iverson's hip bruise-returned-muscle tear.
Still, the 76ers remain in a tie with San Antonio for the league's best record and stretched their lead in the East to five games against the Bucks with Monday's 90-78 win.
"We had a slide, but we're still in a great situation." Snow said yesterday. "We're able to lose five games and still be tied for best record in the league. That's hard to do. That's when all the work we put in early in the season helps us now."
And surprisingly, Philadelphia's notoriously fickle fans aren't complaining — yet. Local newspapers and sports radio even are echoing the players, saying that the team has earned a break.
McKie described it another wav.
Most described it with a wry:
"Hopefully that was a wake-up call for us to say, 'Well OK, you can't coast through the rest of the season,'" McKie said. "You get in the playoffs, and you lose three, you're gone."
Brown says he's more worried about injuries to Snow, McKie and Geiger than Iverson, noting that the NBA's leading scorer has played through worse injuries than he suffered this season. In comparison, the other players have chronic problems, he said.
"Now the goal is just to play better and try to improve." Brown said. "Because if you're not playing your best basketball going into the playoffs, it really doesn't matter what position you're in."
There's no denying that Iverson makes up for a lot of mistakes. The 76ers are 12-17 this season without Iverson, who leads the NBA in scoring, steals and minutes.
On Monday, he scored 13 of 19 points in the first quarter, even as the team shot 23 percent, including a 0-for-13 stretch.
"We missed him out there," said Dikembe Mutombo, who failed to get his season-average 13.8 rebounds during the four games without Iverson. "He's a guy who comes night after night and gives you 40 points. When you don't have him, you have to collect the other 40 points from the other guys."
"I had one team lose five in a row, and they won the national championship."

Years at Kansas: 1993-95
Hometown: Blue Springs, Mo. Accomplishments at Kansas:
207 career strikeouts (fourth)
71 strikeouts as a freshman (first)

Then: Splittorff's best statistical year was 1994, when he had a 10-1 record. But the most memorable year for both Splittorff and Kansas baseball fans was his freshman year in 1993. Splittorff was 7-2, and the team advanced to both the regional finals and the College World Series for the first time in school history under then-coach Dave Bingham.
In the first game of the regional finals, Kansas lost to Fresno State, a traditional baseball powerhouse. The double-elimination format allowed Kansas to advance and defeat tournament host Tennessee with Splittorff on the mound.
After rolling against Rutgers and Clemson, Kansas moved on to play Fresno State again in the championship
game. The Jayhawks pulled out a thrilling victory in the bottom of the tenth inning.
"It was great," he said, "All of the guys
take a seat away on the field to celebrate. It was pretty significant because Kansas baseball had never won anything like that before."
Unfortunately, the team didn't fare as well in the College World Series. The Jayhawks exited early with losses to Texas A&M and Long Beach State. Still, 1993 remains the

Splittorff: currently working as a financial adviser
most successful year in Kansas baseball history.
Life After Kansas: Back pain and injury prevented Splitteroff from seeing serious action after college. He was drafted by the Minnesota Twins and spent time with one of their farm teams in Florida.
He made regular trips back to Lawrence to work out with the team, pitching coach Wilson Kilmer and Kansas coach Bobby Randall. Unfortunately, he couldn't stay healthy consistently.
"I would feel good and play for two weeks, and then have to take two weeks off," he said.
Regardless, Splittorff enjoyed trying and holds no regrets or resentment.
"I saw a lot of guys that were better than me that never made it." he said.
Splittorff then went on to work for Ernest and Julio Gallo as a wine salesman. He spent one year with the company at its Houston office.
Now: SplittorFhas worked as a financial adviser at American Express Financial Advisors Inc. since August of 1999.
"I enjoy helping people make better decisions and improve their situation," he said.
Splittorf's father, Paul, is a member of the Kansas City Royals' Hall of Fame and a nationally-known sports broadcaster. Although Splittorf did make a few attempts at sports broadcasting, he decided early on it wouldn't be his career.
"It's more difficult than it looks," he said. "You have to know the players, the coaches, the strategies, and then you have to sound good."
In the future, when Splittorff has children, he said he planned to treat the sporting lives of his children the way his father did.
"I would like to be a father that supports them in anything that they do," he said.
He said he didn't want to push them in any direction they wouldn't choose and would rather be a spectator than a coach.
Splittorff is looking forward to a reunion this summer of the 1993 College World Series team. All but three players are expected to return.

'Hawks lose game, left fielder

Despite trailing 5-3 and seeing one of their captains fall to injury, the Jayhawks rallied to tie the game. Arkansas' Wes McCrrotty's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth won the game for the Razorbacks.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said the Jayhawks showed a lot of poise in their comeback attempt.
"I was pleased with the way the kids battled back late in the game," Randall said. "Obviously we are not satisfied with the outcome of the game because there are a few things we should have done better to put us in a position to win."

Injury forces Griffey from spring training
The Associated Press
SARASOTA, Fla. — Ken Griffey Jr. won't play for the rest of spring training and his status for opening day is in doubt.
The Cincinnati Reds won't know for a few more days whether Griffey's pulled hamstring amounts to a minor setback or a problem that could linger for a few weeks.
Griffey pulled his left hamstring while rounding third base Monday and had to be helped off the field. The leg was swollen yesterday, when he got several hours of treatment.
Dr. Timothy Kremchek said it was the type of injury that was difficult to gauge in the first few days. The Reds expect to have a better idea by the weekend whether Griffey will be available for the season opener on
Monday.
"We're not looking at putting him on the disabled list," Kremchek said. "Right now, I truly believe there's a possibility he'll play on opening day. We're going to do everything we can to get him in the best shape we possibly can.
"On the other hand, we're not going to do something that's going to allow him to rehurt himself on opening day, just to play that one particular game."
The major concern now is that the hamstring injury will turn into a lingering problem that limits him for much of the season.
Griffey never had hamstring problems until last year. The left hamstring was sore much of the season, and he didn't start again after partially tearing it on Sept. 11.
He strained the lower part of the hamstring when he slipped Monday in a 3-2 loss to Kansas City.
"I think what happened yesterday was a break injury," Kremchek said. "He went around third base pretty hard and he slipped and aggravated the hamstring. It could have been any player at any time."
Griffey kept playing with the sore hamstring last season and eventually tore it. The Reds don't want the latest injury to turn into another long-term problem.
"We hope we've nipped this in the bud and it won't be a lingering thing," Kremchek said. "But hamstrings are unpredictable."
Ruben Rivera, signed last week as a free agent, is one of several outfielders who will get a chance to fill in for the rest of spring training.

Network's founder insists he fired popular BET host
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The founder of Black Entertainment Television used Tavis Smiley's former air time to insist he — not the network's white corporate owners — decided to fire Smiley.
Smiley, a talk show host, was fired because he offered an exclusive interview to ABC instead of BET, said Robert L. Johnson, the network's chief executive.
With complaints about Smiley's firing threatening to spiral out of control, Johnson sat for a one-hour live show taking viewers' calls. It aired at 11 p.m. Monday, the same time Smiley used to be on BET Tonikht.
Johnson contradicted his chief representative, who last week said Smiley was being forced out because of poor ratings. On Monday, Johnson said ratings had nothing to do with it.
Many viewers were suspicious that Johnson — who founded BET in 1979 and owned it until selling to Viacom Inc. last fall — was ordered to fire Smiley by Viacom.
There were rumors that executives at Viacom, which also owns CBS, were angry that Smiley's interview aired on ABC's Primetime Live on March 1 instead of on CBS.
"I took this job because I wanted to run the business," he said. "I'm absolutely calling the shots...I make too much money to be a front man."
Johnson said Smiley's sale of the interview to ABC was the last straw in a difficult, five-year relationship.
BET had originally announced Smiley would finish his contract, but it would not be renewed. Late Friday, however, the network fired Smiley outright.
"The relationship was fraught with tension and I didn't want this relationship to go any further." Johnson said.
"I didn't see how we could have a beneficial business relationship, with all this going on," Johnson said.
In his live show, Johnson told viewers he made all of BET's programming decisions and he was given a five-year contract by Viacom to continue managing BET after the sale.
BET and Smiley often butted heads: the network conceived Smiley, speaking yesterday on Joyner's show, said the interview didn't fit the format of any BET show. It was offered to CBS but the network declined. he said.
"I find it even more curious that Mr. Johnson would move to dismiss me for selling one interview featuring a white woman to a white company, when he sold the entire network to a white company." Smilev said.

Cowboys close to signing quarterback
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys have apparently found Troy Alkman's successor.
The Cowboys were close yesterday to finalizing a one-year deal with free agent quarterback Tony
Banks. No contract had been signed, but both parties indicated the deal was close to being done.
Cowboys vice
DALLAS COWBOYS
president Stephen Jones and Banks' agent, Marvin Demoff, have met several times between sessions of the NFL owners meeting in Palm Desert, Calif.
"He's the guy we've targeted, and he's the guy we want," Jones told The Dallas Morning News. 'We're going to get this done.'
A year ago, Banks had been considered Baltimore's quarterback of the future. But he was cut by the Ravens on March 1 because of salary cap concerns. He was due $2.8 million on the four-year, $18.6 million contract he signed in February 2000.
Demoff said Banks was appreciative of the opportunity and didn't have to have the salary cap explained to him.
Banks, who began last season as the starter in Baltimore but was Trent Dilfer's backup when the Ravens got the Super Bowl, will likely get a one-year deal filled with incentives. The base salary will be around $500,000, which fits into the Cowboys' need to acquire a starting quarterback at a cheap price.
The Cowboys have $23 million counting against their salary cap this year for players no longer on the roster, including $10 million for
The Cowboy cuts Aikman, a 12-year veteran who won three Super Bowls, this month for salary cap reasons and health concerns.
Aikman.
Aikman, 34, was due a $7 million bonus and an extension through 2007 if he was still on the Dallas roster March 8. He played in only eight games last year because of two concussions and a chronic back problem and suffered four concusions in his last 20 starts.
Banks was the only free agent quarterback who has visited Valley Ranch since Alkman left.
The Cowbys also had considered Steve Beuerlein, who was recently waived by Carolina and is coming off reconstructive surgery on his non-throwing shoulder. Beuerlein played for Dallas in 1991 and 1992.
Ryan Leaf was another possibility, but the Cowboys didn't have salary cap room to claim him off
When Alkman was released, the Cowboys were left with Anthony Wright and Clint Stoerner at quarterback. Wright started and lost the last two games last season, and Stoerner was three-for-five passing in his only game last season.
Banks, 27, has played in 68 regular-season games and started 61 during his NFL career. Last season, he completed 150 of 274 passes (55 percent) for 1,578 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Dallas also had veteran Randall Cunningham last season, but he met various performance incentives in his contract that made him a free agent.
Banks played at Michigan State and was taken by the Rams in the second round of the 1996 draft. Banks played his first three seasons with St. Louis, then was traded to Baltimore in 1999.

Former Dolphins back sentenced to 15 years

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Former Miami Dolphins running back Cecil Collins was sentenced yesterday to 15 years in prison, less than two hours after a jury convicted him of sneaking through a neighbor's window to watch her elon

Judge Joyce Julin told Collins he had received the maximum because of his earlier conviction in Louisiana for a similar offense.
Collins closed his eyes as the sentence was read, then stared at his
lap until courtroom deputies came over, handcuffed him and took him to a side table for fingerprinting.
Defense attorney Sebastian "Benny" Cotrone tried to convince the jury in closing arguments yesterday that Collins and Nolte had been lovers and that Nolte had laid about it to save her marriage.
Collins was arrested in December 1999 on charges that he broke into an apartment where Tina Nolte and her husband, Ron, were sleeping. They awoke to see him and recognized him as their neighbor.
The couple spoke to the judge before sentencing.
"In the community where I live, and where I work and where my

Earlier, after the six-member jury delivered its verdict, Tina Nolte said she felt "vindicated. You can't believe the pain and suffering this has caused my family."
Ron Nolte told the judge that on the night of crime, he had risen to defend his wife from an intruder.
In his closing argument, prosecutor Gregg Rossman pointed to Collins and told jurors Collins had snuck through the Nolte's window with bad intentions.
"He wasn't there to steal a VCR or money, he was there to steal Tina
The prosecutor played a taped police statement in which Collins admitted he had entered the apartment through a side window, then fled when Ron Nolte confronted him in the couple's bedroom.
Nolte's dignity and humanity," Rossman said.
Collins, 24, has served the past 15 months in jail, because the arrest violated his Louisiana probation on a similar conviction. The Dolphins released him two months after the arrest.
"I just wanted to go look at her," Collins said on the tape.
The jury could have convicted Collins for a lesser charge of misdemeanor trespassing or it could have cleared him of the Florida charge.
He now faces returning to Louisiana for his probation violation.

Wright was born in Philadelphia and was a Villanova assistant from 1987-92. He replaces Steve Lappas, who resigned Saturday to take the coaching job at Massachusetts.
Wright, who led the Pride to a 28-5 record and a second straight America East Conference title, takes over a Villanova program that has missed the NCAA tournament the last two years.
The Associated Press
VILLANOVA, Pa., — Jay Wright, who led Hofstra into the last two NCAA tournaments, was hired as coach at Villanova yesterday.
"This is just amazing, I really feel like I'm home," Wright said. "Once you're touched by the Villanova family, it sticks with you."
The 39-year-old Wright was being woed by several other schools, including Tennessee. He had been scheduled to interview with Vols athletic director Doug Dickey yesterday.
Villanova lost in the first round to Mississippi in its last trip to the tournament in 1999. The Wildcats were 2-4 in the tournament under Lappas, losing three straight years in the first or second rounds despite being seeded Nos.3, 3 and 4.
Villanova, 18-13 this season, lost to Minnesota on March 14 in the NIT, closing a season that began 11-2.
Wright hopes to improve on that record.
"The Villanova teams will play very hard, they will play together and they
Lappas, who unexpectedly resigned after nine years as head coach at Villanova, was hired as Massachusetts coach on Monday.
Hofstra lost its first-round NCAA game the past two years, including a 61-48 lossto UCLA on March 15. In 2000, Oklahoma State beat the Pride 86-66.
Lappas named coach at UMass
Wright, however, could be without second-team All-American Michael Bradley next season. Bradley may forego his senior season to enter the NBA draft.
Wright was a top candidate for the UMass job, and also interviewed at Rutgers. In seven seasons at Hofstra, Wright had a 122-85 record.

director Bob Marcum said Monday as he introduced ex-Villanova coach Steve Lappas. "Something changed that. What changed it was Steve Lappas."
Lappas, 47, quit his job at Villanova on Friday to take the UMass job in a five-year deal that could be worth about $3 million with incentives. He replaces Bruiser Flint, who resigned under pressure March 12.
"I forgot what it felt like to walk into a situation where you were new," said Lappas, who spent 13 years at Villanova before resign
abruptly amid complaints about his postseason record.
Lappas signed a contract extension in July that was to have kept him at Villanova through the 2003-04 season. But he quit after the Wildcats failed to make the NCAA tournament and lost in the first round of the NIT.
Villanova announced Monday that Jay Wright, who led Hofstra into the last two NCAA tournaments, would replace Lappas.
Villanova earned its last NCAA bid in 1999, but lost in the first round to Mississippi.
Lappas was 174-110 at Villanova in nine seasons, with four NCAA tournament berths and three in the NIT.
UMass had 11 consecutive losing seasons before John Calipari helped make the school a national power. The Minuteemen won five consecutive Atlantic 10 titles and went to the 1996 Final Four under
Calipari, but the improvement came at a price.
Marcus Camby, the most illustrious UMass player since Julius Erving, later admitted taking gifts from an agent, including $5,300 in jewelry and the services of a prostitute. The NCAA took the school's Final Four appearance off the record and ordered it to repay proceeds from the trip.
Flint went 86-72, making the NCAA tournament in his first two seasons. But the Minutemen fell to 14-16 in 1998-99 and 17-16 last season, including a first-round NIT loss.
UMass posted a 15-15 (11:5 Atlantic 10) record this year, but failed to earn an invitation to the NCAA or NIT tournaments. Flagging attendance in the school's primary revenue sport was dragging down an athletic department that grew accustomed to the money a winning team provided.

Town fixated on successes of native Stiles
The Associated Press
CLAFLIN — If the 600 or so residents of Claflin could speak with a single voice about their hometown hero Jackie Stiles, it might sound something like this:
We told you so.
People in the tiny central Kansas town say they've known all along that Stiles — the star senior guard who has led Southwest Missouri State to the women's Final Four — was something special. Now, the country knows.
In what has become a typical performance, Stiles—the all-time NCAA women's scoring leader—had 32 points in Monday's 104-87 victory against Washington.

"That's the talk of the town this morning. It's just unbelievable, somebody from our town going that far," said Kathy Clark, produce manager at Bailey's Food Bin in Clainf.
Claflin virtually stops when Southwest Missouri State games are on television, Clark said. Interest is so high that when it

became known Monday's regional final would be aired on ESPN2 — a channel Claflin residents don't get through cable TV — the local cable company arranged to show the game on another channel.
Now, residents are clamoring for tickets to see Stiles and the Lady Bears play in St. Louis on Friday.
At Diane's Diner in Caffin, patron Don Zink said Stiles was an inspiration to the whole town.
"She's living proof of what we all told our kids, if you want it bad enough and you work hard enough, it's yours," Zink said. "She's proved it because she did work for it. She wasn't born that way."
"I used to walk over in the high school gym. She was there at 6 o'clock in the morning. She put so many shots up everyday. That was her goal," said 73-year-old resident Tom Chism. "She's just an unbelievable kid to have a work ethic like she has."
Said Gregg Webb, Stiles' Claflin High School coach: "Her work ethic was so ridiculous and so off the scale that the kids see her as not real."
Win or lose in the Final Four, Claflin will celebrate Jackie Stiles Day on April 14, with a parade through town and a reception with Stiles at the high school.
"We're little sorry she's no longer Claflin's girl." Zink said. "She kind of now belongs to the country."

DURHAM, N.C. — The players at Duke have a difficult time describing the team's offense. Opponents have an even harder time defending it.
Duke offense utilizes players' instincts
The Blue Devils (33-4) head into Saturday's national semifinal against Maryland averaging 90.8 points a game and leading the nation in 3-point shooting.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski's offensive plan is quite simple and based on a few philosophies — ball screening, penetration, passing and constant motion.
"We're not curing any diseases here," Krzyzewski said of his offense.
Granted, Duke has All-Americans Shane Battier and Jason Williams, but it's the freedom to play that has allowed all five starters to log at least one 20-point game this year.
"One of the things we've done over the years is try not to recipe our team," said Krzyezewski, who will make his ninth
History shows that if you're going to beat Duke, you've got to score with them. The Blue Devils have gotten at least 80 points in 31 of 37 games and are 21-0 when they score 90 or more.
Final Four appearance since 1986. "I just let them all play. They feel real comfortable doing that."
Stanford scored 84 against Duke to beat the Blue Devils by one in December, while North Carolina scored 85 in a Feb. 1 victory in Cameron Indoor Stadium. And Virginia and Maryland got 91 each in victories against the Blue Devils.
"There are no plays," Williams said of Duke's attack. "It's motion offense. (Coach) might set something up, but the blay can change at any time.
"Couch K just gives us the go-ahead to use our instincts, and I think that's what makes us so dangerous. We just go out there and we play basketball. The offense changes around what the players are feeling at a certain time."
Krzyszewski has just one major rule on offense — don't pass up a good shot. He rarely gets upset on the bench by a miss, not even on the 25-foot shots sometimes launched by Battier, Williams or freshman Chris Duhon.
"Our offense is, you take whatever the defense gives us," Battier said. "If they are going to give us open looks, we're going to take 3s. If they try to get up in our face, we're going to drive. We've been very good this year at being scavengers on offense."
Missouri coach Quin Snyder, a former Duke assistant, bowed out to the Blue Devils in the second round of the tournament two weeks ago, allowing 94 points.
Snyder said Duke's unselfishness on offense also was a key to the team's success.
"They pass the ball so well," Snyder said.
"To me, that's what makes them such a special offensive team. Yeah, they'll shoot it, but those shots are usually open and
they're constantly finding the next guy. To see a team that passes the ball is rare."
Battier said the team took a lot of pride in getting the best shot available.
Williams is averaging 28.8 points in the four wins, while Battier is at 23 a game.
Mike Dunleave, at 11.8, is the only other Duke player in double figures.
Duke has five double-digit scorers in its top seven players, but most of the offensive load in the tournament has been shared by Williams and Battier.
Is Kryzewski concerned about balanced scoring heading into this weekend's game against the Terrapins?
"That's a good danger to deal with," Krzyzewski said. "I think there is so much more positive about that. We've been such an unselfish team throughout the year, sometimes there is a tendency for a player to hold back just a little bit.
"To have Shane and Jason step forward like this is good. Now it's up to the other guys to step forward and adjust to it."
National praise piling up for Arizona guard Arenas
The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — Gilbert Arenas' game almost appears choreographed, filled with feints and jukes, deft dunks, arching jumpers, slashing cuts, crossovers and catlike steals.
His performance continues to draw accolades — from teammates, coaches, even opponents.
The praises are piling up for the Arizona sophomore, a shooting guard whose 18-point first-half career helped mount the
ARIZONA
WILDCATS
wildcats past Illinois 87-81 and into the Final Four.
His backcourt mate, point guard Jason Gardner, said Arenas, just 19, was beginning to live up to others' expectations.
"He's been having a great season," Gardner said. "Toward the end of the season, he's been one of the main reasons why this team has been doing what we are doing."
After Sunday's victory, which advanced
Arizona (27-7) to Saturday's semifinal with Michigan State (28-4), teammate Luke Walton said, "we know what Gilbert is capable of. He does that all the time in practice.
"This was just one of those games. He does things when he drives to the lane. What he does with his body is amazing."
Arenas' 21 points in Sunday's Midwest Regional final earned him the Most Outstanding Player award. He is Arizona's top scorer, averaging 16.5 points.
Coach Lute Olson at times has been on Arenas' case for some ill-advised shots, but Olson knows his youngguard has the potential.
Arenas' play against Illinois drew praise from Illini coach Bill Self.
"I think Gilbert can be as good as Gilbert wants to be," Olson said. "Offensively, he was just unbelievable in that first half (against Illinois)."
Memphis on the rebound
Calipari revamping team succeeding
The Associated Press
NEWYORK—Ten years ago, John Calipari used a trip to the NIT semifinals as a springboard at Massachusetts.
The first-year Memphis coach hopes this year's NIT run will do the same for his new school.
Seven of the final eight teams from last year's NIT made it to the NCAAs this season, led by round-of-16 teams Penn State and Mississippi. Memphis lost to Tulsa last night 72-64 in the NIT semifinals.
"This is good for our team," said Calipari, a former Kansas assistant under Larry Brown. "This is the best thing that can happen for a team on the rise. This tournament has helped a lot of teams get over the hump."
The NIT marks a turnaround for Calipari, who was fired two years ago by the New Jersey Nets after going 72-112 in two-plus seasons.
Despite the ending, Calipari learned from his time in the NBA.
Calipari has resurrected Memphis, leading the Tigers to their first 20-win season in five years and putting together one of the top recruiting classes in the country.
Dajuan Wagner, the son of former Louisville star and NBA player Milt Wagner, is the most prominent player in the class, having scored 100 points in a game for Camden (N.J.) High School this season.
The rebuilding is progressing even quicker than it did at UMass for Calipari. A after 10-18 record in his first season in 1988-89, Calipari went to the NIT the next two seasons, finishing fourth in 1990-91.
The Minutemen then went to the NCAA regional semifinals in 1992, the second round in 1993 and 1994, the regional finals in 1995 and the Final Four in his last season.
While this NIT lacks the big stage and notoriety surrounding the 1996 trip across the Hudson River at the Meadowlands, it marks a big step for a school that didn't even make the NIT the past two seasons.

University won't benefit from Graves' education aid
By Cassio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
While Gov. Bill Graves plans to add $112 million in state public education aid, the University of Kansas and other state universities will get none of it.
The governor's plan, announced on March 13, will raise the base state aid per pupil from $3,820 to $3,930, add $22 million to special education funding and phase in all-day kindergarten during the next five years.
Don Brown, communications director for the governor, said it was important to invest in primary and secondary education because, unlike colleges, they couldn't count on extra revenue coming from tuition or tickets to athletics.
Kansas currently spends $2.6 billion on primary and secondary education, and Brown said that investing in primary education would pay dividends at the University level in the future.
PETER SCHULZ
He said that Graves recognized the importance of all levels of education
Graves:his education funds will benefit grade schools
but said that the governor had allocated the money he had in the best possible way. Brown said he encouraged debate in the Kansas House and Senate aimed at finding alternative sources of funding for universities, which were hit by utilities' cost throughout the year.
Last month, the University announced a $1.15 million budget cut for this year and a $3 million budget cut for next year.
"Chancellor Hemenway's problems got the same consideration as anyone else's." he said.
Ashley Somerhalder, Topeka freshman, said the governor failed to see the importance of higher education.
She said the University already had fewer professors than other universities and not giving it more money would accentuate the problem.
“It's sad to me to think that we will get less qualified people," Somerhalder said. "I can't believe it."
Carmen Ruiz, Bloomington, Ind., senior in education, said that even though she recognized the importance of college education, it was important to allocate money to primary and secondary education because many schools didn't have enough money to buy materials such as desks and computers and some didn't have enough space for students.
"But it's important for us to have a good education too," she said.
Ellen Frisbie, principal budget analyst for the State Division of the Budget, said part of the plan was Graves' investment on the Quality Performance Accreditation Program, which recognizes good schools by giving them more money.
She also said the state would recognize those teachers who excel in the classroom by giving $5,000 to those who get national board certification. Teachers currently receive $1,000 if they are certified.
Jamie Goode, education senator and Platte City, Mo., senior, said that if the governor thought education was important, he should make it important for everyone in the state, not only for those in certain grades.
She added that although she couldn't speak for Graves, she mentioned the governor's investments in libraries, computers and technology as his main achievements for state universities.
Goode also said Graves couldn't expect college students to become good teachers if he didn't invest in the state university system.
Frisbie said he was focusing on primary and secondary education because he had already invested in colleges and universities during his term.

Committes approve religious bill
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Religious organizations are one step closer to receiving money from Student Senate.
Last night the Senate Finance and Student Rights committees unanimously approved a bill that would allow Senate to grant money to religious and partisan organizations. It will go to full Senate Wednesday for a final vote.
According to the bill, the money would be used for office supplies and photocopying expenses and not for specific religious activities such as buying Bibles or paying for worship services.
Sam Morrissey, Arvada, Colo., senior and president of Navigators, a campus
Christian group, said he was excited about the bill and thought it was discriminatory that Senate hadn't give money to religious organizations in the past.
"As Christians, we're used to being discriminated against," he said. "I think if you look up the definition of discrimination, that fits it."
Alexis Vanasse, Great Bend sophomore and president of the KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said she disagreed with Senate allocating money to religious groups. She said it violated the separation of church and state.
"Of course the ACLU is completely against giving state money to religious organizations," she said. "I believe personally that anything that allows state money to be given to religious organizations violates the constitution."
What happened: Student Senate committees approved a bill that would allow Senate to grant money to religious and partisan organizations.
A BILL IN THE WORKS
What it means: If approved by full Senate Wednesday, religious and partisan groups would be eligible for Senate money to pay for non-religious expenses such as office supplies.
- What's next? the bill will go to full Senate for a vote Wednesday.
Ben Walker, student body president and co-sponsor of the bill, said because of United States Supreme Court rulings, Senate had to grant money to religious organizations.
In 1995, the Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Ron Rosenberger, a Christian student who sued the University of Virginia. He argued that his freedom of speech rights were violated when his student-run Christian publication, Wide-Awake, was denied money for the printing costs of the paper. The Court found that the University erred in not granting the group money.
The Court heard a similar case last year, when then-law student and Christian conservative Scott Southworth sued the University of Wisconsin. He disagreed with the viewpoints of certain groups to which the University's Student

Hair shows hints of personality
Students' locks define character
By Sarah Smarsr
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Hair — Punks dye it. Skinheads shave it off. Hippies grow it out. Glamour queens bleach and curl it. Muslim women cover it.
Through the years, people have used hair as means of seduction, cultural adherence and personal expression. Punks see wild hair colors as social rebellion, and the long, natural hair of hippies became synonymous with their nature-loving attitude. Some cultures find long hair on women so sexually provocative that it must be hidden.
Hairstyles have a long history. The Venus of Willendorf, a famous Ice Age statuette that could be 30,000 years old, shows clear evidence of styled hair. Combs and hairpins have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs.
Centuries later. American youth have adopted hair as the ultimate accessory for personal expression.
Vanessa Vanek, Lawrence gradu
ate student, began dying her hair 15 years ago at the age of 13. Through the years her hair has seen a rainbow of colors — blue, burgundy, blonde, chestnut and black. She currently sports a combination of auburn, mocha and blonde, strategically combined to enhance her hair's natural curl.
Vanek, an art student, said her hair was an extension of her creativity.
"It's a canvas," she said of her hair. "It's a great way to express yourself." Vanek, whose natural color is dark brown, said her fun-loving side sparked her desire to dye.
"When I was younger, the idea of having brown hair was so mundane," she said. "I wanted to draw attention to myself."
Heath O'Campo, Topeka senior,
said his facial hair and long, dark
mane drew more attention from
women than his short hair days.
O'Campo's hair, which has been in
cornrows on and off for two years,
reveals his unrestrained nature, he
said.
"I'm usually wild and like to party," he said.
Shelly Baker, Prairie Village senior, has been lightening her hair for four years. Blonde hair, which is the most popular hair color in the
United States, doesn't necessarily make for more fun, she said.
But Baker added that the light color is a way for her to express a youthful exuberance.
"Older people don't usually have really blonde hair," she said.
Colleen Heiny, St. Louis junior, prefers her hair to remain in its natural state — brown and curly. She said her approach to hair styling was laid back, like her personality.
"When people describe me, they usually mention that I have curly hair," she said. "I think it has character."
Hal Beckerman, Prairie Village junior, said his character was sometimes misjudged because of the wild mop of dreadlocks he had sported for four years.
"I definitely get a lot of funny looks," he said.
Beckerman said his dreadlocks resulted from his desire for a low-maintenance hairstyle when traveling.
But despite its complex symbolism and tradition, he said hair's place in culture and society was overrated.
"It's just what grows on top of my head," Beckerman said. "I'd be the same person, with or without it."

Mentor program assists Haskell students' tranfer
Transition between Lawrence universities made easier for some
By Danny Phillips writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
S. Alicia Tsosie always knew she wanted to be a social worker. With the guidance of the Haskell Mentor Program, the road to her academic goals has been a bit smoother.
The mentor program was established three years ago to offer supp
port for Hasken Indian Nations University transfer students during their first year at the University of Kansas.
The students are paired up with a student and staff mentor at the beginning of every fall semester, and
"They get settled and get comfortable, and hopefully get a foundation to make it through," said Flores, who is also the associate director for the center.
Tsosie, Shiprock, New Mexico, junior, said she first heard about the opportunities KU provided in social welfare, as well as the mentor program, from an instructor at Haskell, who graduated from KU.
Haskell is the only Indian Nations university in the country that resides in the same town as a four-year pub
"That's why we established this program. So we can have a nice bridge between Haskell and KU."
Gloria Flores Haskell Mentor Program director
"That's why we established this program," said Gloria Flores, program director. "So we can have a nice bridge between Haskell and KU."
Once at KU, the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center holds an orientation for the students, where they are introduced to the First Nations Student Association and made aware of campus resources.
last year 11 transfer students enrolled in the program.

Flores said,

special Haskell-
KU partnership.
Flores said once the students begin the program, much is left up to the mentors and their students.
Tsosie's mentor
is Angelica Lopez, Lawrence, graduate student, who has spoken to Tosias on the phone and sends her e-mails regularly to find out what's going on.
Tsiosie said she wished the transfer students could get together and meet more often, but overall the program has been beneficial.
"It's always nice to have someone look after you," she said.

New spending budget approved by Senate
TOPEKA — The Senate approved a proposed state budget of nearly $9.15 billion Tuesday after hearing it criticized as both too big and too small.
The 22-18 vote Tuesday sent the spending bill — slightly smaller than the budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30 — to the House.
House members took up their own version of the budget yesterday, with members voting 103-21 to add an extra 5 percent pay raise for Kansas Highway Patrol officers, on top of the 8 percent Gov. Bill Graves proposed.
In the Senate, Republican leaders blocked repeated Democratic attempts to add money for individual agencies and programs.

Foot-and-mouth ban will not be lessened
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration refused yesterday to exempt any part of the European Union from an import ban imposed to keep the U.S. livestock industry free of foot-and-mouth disease.
The outbreak began in Britain and has since spread to France, Ireland and the Netherlands, but the U.S. ban applies to all 15 of the EU's member countries. Opponents said the restriction should be limited to the countries where the disease has been confirmed.
The ban was limited initially to Britain but was expanded March 13 to the rest of the union.
Appeals court overturns abortion case verdict
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court threw out a record $109 million verdict against anti-abortion activists yesterday, ruling a Web site and wanted posters branding abortion doctors "baby butchers" and criminals were protected by the First Amendment.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously said the activists could be held liable only if the material authorized or directly threatened violence.
The ruling came two years after a jury in Portland, Ore., ordered a dozen abortion foes to pay damages to Planned Parenthood and four doctors. They had sued under federal racketeering law and the 1994 federal law that makes it illegal to incite violence against abortion doctors.
U.S. vetoes resolution to protect Palestinians
UNITED NATIONS — In its first U.N. veto since 1997, the United States heeded a call from Israel and killed a resolution backing a U.N. observer force to help protect Palestinians, who have largely been the victims in six months of Mideast violence.
Palestinians reacted with disgust Tuesday to the first U.S. veto in four years, saying it reflected badly on the Bush administration. After five days of around-the-clock negotiations, the Palestinians had secured the nine votes they needed to pass the measure in the 15-member U.N. Security Council.

Skeletal remains found after alleged purge
WORLD
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Phillipines — Soldiers discovered the skeletal remains of 75 men, women and children in the southern Philippines, 15 years after communist rebels allegedly launched a bloody purge of suspected informers, officials said yesterday.
A military report from the southern city of Cagayan de Oro said soldiers dug up the bodies Tuesday in a remote area of the southern region of Mindanao.
The killings were part of Operation Zombie, an alleged campaign by the communist New People's Army in the mid 1980s to execute alleged spies and government informers, the report said. "Zombie" is rebel slang for a suspected army informer.

Senate looks to Court's decisions
Continued from page 1A
Senate was allocating money. Among the groups Southworth had a problem with were a campus socialist organization and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Center. The Court decided in favor of the university and ruled that students' fees could be allocated to groups whose views may offend other students.
Walker said Senate had to have the same standards for every student organization, even if they were religious or partisan.
"The intent is to establish a viewpoint-neutral system of funding without establishing a religion," he said.
Philip Kissam, professor of law, said Student Senate had to protect itself from the possibil
ity of a lawsuit.
"The Court held that is wasn't a violation of the establishment clause for student senates to fund religious groups," he said. "I don't think there's going to be a constitutional problem with funding these groups."
The establishment clause states that government cannot establish any religion.
ON THE RECORD
Edited by Jacob Roddy
A 20-year-old from Cumming, Iowa, reported a CD player and Nike tennis shoes stolen from his car between 2:30 p.m. Thursday, March 22, and 3:15 p.m. Sunday while it was parked in the GSP-Corbin Hall parking lot, the KU Public Safety Office said. The dashboard around the stereo was damaged during the incident. Repair costs and stolen goods were valued at $900.
Two cars collided on Sunnyside Drive at 8:55 a.m. Tuesday, the KU Public Safety Office said. A car crossed the road to park in a stall on the opposite side of the road when it was hit by a car backing out nearby. No one was injured, but there was major damage to the parking car's left rear wheel. Because the car in reverse backed out beyond the distance necessary, that driver was cited for limitations on backing. The cost of damages was not listed.

Opportunities still available for University study abroad
By Michelle Ward writer at kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Michael Bittinger relives his travels to Paris and Florence each year as he prepares fellow University of Kansas students for their study abroad programs.
The Salina senior works in the Office of Study Abroad helping others share in the experience of international travel. Students can take advantage of living in a new culture while earning University credit.
"The experience will remain with each student, simply because it's an experience that doesn't come along every day," Bittinger said. "When you delve into another culture, it becomes almost a second home."
The office has openings in 18 of 25 summer programs, including those on the continents of Europe, Asia, South America, North America and Africa. Even though most deadlines for fall and summer study abroad have passed, the office still has positions available and will work with students, said Susan MacNally, assistant director of study abroad.
Along with a unique cultural experience, MacNally said one of the department's goals was to make sure students could take University courses, or their transferable equivalents, while abroad. This would allow students to stay on track with their graduation date and not fall behind. Students should have a clear idea of how study abroad will fit into their schedules and an overall plan, MacNally said.
Chris Hartley was conducting a plan for his final two years that included a semester of study abroad. Browsing through brochures yesterday afternoon, Hartley had been bitten by the travel bug after hearing the exploits of a fraternity brother. The tales of surfing and scuba diving had Hartley thinking of traveling, but it would not come without its hardships.
"I would miss my girlfriend," he said. "It would be really tough to leave her. We try not to talk about it. I would miss my family and friends too."
In the midst of his study abroad, Saeed Alqarni a Saudi Arabia native, said the experience had made him stronger Alqarni, who is studying accounting at the University, said students should have a plan before they traveled abroad.
"You need to go abroad having a goal," he said. "You will learn so much more, but you need a goal."
For Alqarni, the biggest transitions involved the food and the pace of American life. Living in the residence halls, he said there was little variety in the food. He was happy to have moved into his own apartment during spring break where he could cook for himself.
But he said studying abroad was not for everyone.
"You have to be independent. You have to watch what you are doing." Alqarami said. "It's not just for fun. You need a goal."

Sprint CEO backs new technologies
Source: Office of Study Abroad
By Eric Taylor
Sprint Chairman and CEO William T. Esrey explained to a crowd of about 1,000 last night how new technology, such as artificial intelligence, would make life easier in the future by making technology more personal.
Special to the Kansan
"It is clear that technology is advancing faster today than at any other nace." he said.
Esrey said Sprint and another company were helping create technology called Chase Walker. He described Chase Walker as a "cyber-you, programmed to know your habits, likes, dislikes and so forth, that would navigate the world for you."
William T. Esrey, chairman and CEO of Sprint, speaks about technological advances during a lecture last night at the Lied Center. Esrey was part of the annual Vickers Memorial Lecture series, sponsored by the School of Business, and talked about artificial communication, technology and the future of telecommunications. Photo by Laurie Sisk/KANSAN
"High-speed data that is usable no matter where you are or where you are traveling will be a central component of our future," he said.
His speech at the Lied Center, "Can We Have Technology and Humanity?" also focused on new wireless communication technology and technology's rapid growth as a whole in the 1990s.
Esrey also discussed "third generation" wireless technology, which he said would transmit data up to 10 times faster than current DSL lines. He assured the audience this new technology would influence their lives.
Esrey drew a laugh opening the speech by telling members of the audience it was OK to leave their cell phones on.
"You hear a phone ring, I hear a cash register ring," he said.
Esrey did not speak much about Sprint, but was asked if Sprint had plans to merge with another company.
"The day wouldn't be complete if we didn't get that question," he said.
Esrey also said the reasons behind the failed merger of Sprint and MCI Worldcom were "illogical and non-valid."
Damian Walker, Wellington sophomore, said Esrey's speech was interesting, especially
the information about artificial intelligence. "I'm interested in technology and one of my emphases is communications," he said.
"The artificial intelligence technology will probably be a big deal 10 years from now, but there will be many issues to solve."
Esrey's free lecture was part of the School of
Business' Vickers Lecture Series.
Past speakers have included former independent counsel Ken Starr, former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum and Cessna Aircraft Company Chairman and CEO Russell W. Meyer, Jr.

Ambassadors full of facts, fearful of falls
Reporter enlightened after campus tour
By Andy Davies writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Melissa Bryan warned us not to let her walk into a sign.
She will be walking backward on campus for 45 minutes. She hasn't tripped or fallen yet, and she doesn't want it to happen today.
Melissa is a member of the KU Ambassadors, a group of 64 students who volunteer to give prospective students campus tours. Each of the ambassadors spends the week working in the ambassador cubicle, giving campus tours or helping with junior or senior days.
Before coming to the University of Kansas, I never had the opportunity to take a tour of campus. Being the sentimental guy I am, and, needing a story idea, I decided to brave the laughter of my friends, put on my walking shoes and take the tour.
Wednesday, March 7, 11:33 a.m.
Melissa, Andover sophomore,
is my guide around campus
today. We head toward the door-
way of the Union and wait for
Curly, the bus driver, to arrive
with the tour group. While waiting
for the bus from the visitor
center, Melissa gets a scouting
report about her group from
Jessica Perkins.
Perkins, an admission counselor, tells Melissa the size of the group and that the people were stone faced, noting they didn't laugh at any of her jokes.
After meeting the three prospective students in Melissa's group — Tiffany and Kara from Johnson County Community College and Chris, a high school student from Labette County in southeast Kansas — it's time to start the tour.
For Melissa, meeting people is her high point. She remembers the tour she took helped her choose KU, and she hopes she can have the same impact on others.
11:37 a.m.
We begin the tour. Being in outstanding shape, I say a silent prayer that I will not die walking around campus for 45 minutes.
Melissa, who, like all ambassadors, gives tours walking backward, has not fallen yet. Some of the other ambassadors have not been so lucky, however.
For example, while giving a tour his sophomore year, Curtis Sloan, Powhatten senior and co-coordinator of the ambassadors, fell in a pile of mulch outside of Smith Hall. He joked the fall actually helped him win the Falling Ambassador Award.
As we walk by the Danforth Chapel, which, by the way, has a two-year marriage waiting list, I see a bus pass. Melissa, never missing a beat, immediately starts telling the group how wonderful the buses are.
Our tour group start walking toward the Natural History Museum, which Melissa says is the second most visited tourist site in Kansas after the Topeka Zoo.
actually visited the museum on more than one occasion
I make a mental note to suggest more bus tours in place of walking tours.
I feel proud knowing I have
Of course, no one is saying much of anything else either. Only one question has been asked, and I start to admire Melissa for her ability to talk on and on about KU.
We've made it all the way to Lindley Hall and, surprisingly, I feel good. Despite the cold wind, nobody complains.
11:58 a.m.
I also learned one important superstition — not to walk underneath the Campanile before graduation, because it means I won't graduate at all. As much as I like KU, I don't want to take any chances on not getting out of here.
I also actually learned a few facts about the University.
Melissa said it wasn't hard to remember all the facts about campus. The ambassadors are given a booklet before they start that contains the facts. In addition, ambassadors must shadow five tours before they give any.
For starters, I did not know that there are 14,735 trees on campus or that Marvin Hall is known as the "Lighthouse of Campus" because students are always working overnight.
Melissa said shadowing was really helpful.
"That's where we learn most of our stuff." she said.
Ambassador hopefuls fill out an application and then are interviewed, first with three or four other applicants and then individually. After the ambassadors are selected, they go through training.
Once someone becomes an ambassador, he or she doesn't have to go through the selection process again.
12:10 p.m.
We've wound our way across campus and have walked up the stairs behind Wescoe Hall to Stauffer-Flint Hall. While huffing and puffing, I glance at good old StauFFER-Flint, knowing I can go inside, sit down and have a refreshing drink of water, but I push this thought from my mind and look toward the Kansas Union, knowing I am close to finishing the journey.
As we walk up to the parking lot across the street from the Kansas Union, I hear a fantastic sound: Curly honking the horn of the bus. I am relieved I was able to take the tour without dying and make a soon-to-be-forgetten resolution to start working out.
But the job is not done for Melissa. She heads out to give another tour, trying to avoid falling down for another day.

Buyer beware when searching for auto bargains
By Sarah Warren
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Claudia Meng can't rely on the dash board of her 1989 Buick Regal for anything.
The car's speedometer, gas gauge and odometer rarely work, leaving the Garden City senior to guess her speed, how much gas she has and how fast her engine is working.
"When we first got it, the odometer wouldn't count the miles and then it would all-of-a-sudden catch up really quickly," Meng said. "Now, it doesn't work unless it wants to work."
"And when it's really cold sometimes the speedometer blinks on, but 95 percent of the time it doesn't work at all. And the fuel gauge always says full, too."
Meng bought the used car four years ago for $2,000 and said she was unaware of the problems she would later have with the vehicle.
Tiffany Ball, public relations officer for Attorney General Carla Stovall, said what happened to Meng was a common problem for people who purchased used vehicles.
"We really encourage consumers to do their homework first on the dealer," Ball said. "And, if you get a used car, you're going to have to allot money for repairs that will come up."
Ball said another common carbuying problem occurred when consumers bought cars they couldn't really afford because of over-enthusiastic salesmen.
"Sometimes consumers will buy a car because of high-pressured sales and then get home and realize they can't handle it." Ball said. "They may call our office and see if their purchase applies to the Three-day Right to Cancel Rule."
The Three-day Right to Cancel Rule is a state statute allowing consumers to cancel a purchase within three days if the item was bought away from the seller's usual place of business.
"The rule usually applies to door-to-door salesmen, though." Ball said. "So, car sales usually don't fall under that category."
Ball also said, when buying a used car, people should look carefully at the vehicle and the title, because the car could have a hidden history.
"I know a couple of years ago when there was a lot of flooding, some dealers were trying to sell cars that had been flooded," Ball said.
Meng said she initially thought having her parents there when she bought her car would have saved her from hassles,but she knew even her parents could get the run-around.
"I think having adults around helps from getting screwed," she said. "I know that I might of had more of a problem had mine not been there.
"But the deal we got wasn't actually a great deal because we found out that the odometer doesn't work right, so we still got screwed."
Meng said she had no plans to sell her car in the near future,but when she did buy again she would do her homework.
"Because of the shape of it, I'll run it into the ground and then buy another car," Meng said. "I'll buy used when I do buay again, but I'll probably use word of mouth, prior knowledge and my parents again."

Student Senate religious groups must stay apart
So now Student Senate is going to finance religious groups. But not all religious groups, just the ones it deems sufficiently nonpartisan.
Before I start renting on the separation of church and state, let's establish some facts.
This all started with last year's Supreme Court decision in Wisconsin v. Southworth. In this case, University of Wisconsin students argued that the university giving student fees to groups they disagreed with was an infringement on the students' rights to free speech and association. The Supreme Court ruled against the students, deciding that the First Amendment outweighed the separation of
Senate's current rules
Amendment outweighed the separation of church and state in this case.
say student money will not fund religious organizations. But after Southworth, senators are legally required to rework their funding regulations. Until they do, senators can simply suspend their rules, as they recently did in order to give $387 to the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Aesthetics.
Senate requires that this money only be spent on nonpartisan activities, such as mailing, copying and advertising. What
I
John Audlehelm columnist opinion@kansasan.com
Along those same lines, if a religious group was planning to spend $10 on postage stamps, and Senate gives the group $10 to spend on postage stamps, the religious group is just going to spend the $10 on a religious activity.
exactly do senators expect religious groups to mail, copy and advertise?
That means that Senate will be -- get ready for this -- financing religious activities! Duh!
The next legal safeguard bouncing around Senate is a proposed requirement that religious groups be sufficiently nonexclusive, nonpartisan and broad-based if they want funds.
Senate's requirement would water down religious messages in the name of broadening them. Senate would give an unfair advantage to large, popular religious groups. That would effectively force small, radical groups to tone down their messages in order to compete for Senate funds.
Not only is this vague, but it also runs counter to the idea of free association. If clubs weren't exclusive and biased in favor of something, they would have no reason to exist. I didn't join the rock-climbing club so I could learn how to swing dance.
Most of this country's founders had seminary training. They wanted religion to thrive in this land, and they knew that the best way to do it was to keep the government out.
The history of this country is one of small, radical groups arguing their points under the full protection of the law. As it turns out, they've had some good ideas.
The separation of church and state is a protection of both. It is meant not only to protect the state from religious demagogues, but also to protect religious groups from the state.
The true danger is that Senate's rules could empower senators to decide which religions get money and which don't according to the thin justifications listed above. If senators conspire to promote one religion, they will be able to legally do so, ironically enough, in the name of open-mindedness.
Let us turn our attention to the religious groups. If you want the government's money, you have to play by its rules. That's OK if you like the rules. But in a democracy, the rules can change.
If KU's religious groups agree with what I'm saying, then they should realize that they have the power to make this entire issue moot. Just don't apply for Senate funds.
As for the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, I think you should return the $387. You say you're not a religious organization? Come on. If religion didn't exist, then neither would you.
As for Senate: Realize that the only fair way to finance religious groups is to not finance any of them.
Oddly enough, none of the senators I've talked to seem particularly eager to change their funding regulations. But it's the law, they say, and we have to follow it.
No, you don't. You can do anything you want if you're willing to accept the consequences. Break the law, get sued and go to the Supreme Court. A handful of Wisconsin students did, and they changed the law.

Kansan's duties demand Senate background checks
few people at the University of Kansas know more about J.D. Jenkins than I do. Conversely, few people here know more about me than he does.
J. D. was my roommate for two years when we lived in Templin Hall. He was one of the first people I met here, and I still consider him a good friend.
Eventually, we found our niches at the University — his as a student senator, mine as a journalist. We've both experienced success —
J. D. will attend a prestigious, top-tier law school, and I will work at The New York Times this summer.
Although we're friends, we keep finding ourselves on the opposite sides of issues. This time, it's because he's heading up Truth in Reporting, a committee that plans to run background checks on Kansan staff members.

The impetus for investigating Kansan staff members is the Kansan's policy to check the backgrounds.
Chris Borniger opinion editor opinion@kansan.com
of all candidates for Student Senate and publish what we find. Last year, when we published that some candidates had received DUI or MIP citations, we angered a lot of people (J.D. included, although his record is clean). Some didn't think we should seek out the skeletons in candidates' closets.
Sharing a room our freshman and sophomore years, J.D. and I got to know each other pretty well. We learned things we'd just as soon not share with the rest of the world. Frankly, we both have a bit of dirty laundry (annoying habits, guilty pleasures, you name it) we'd like to keep locked away in our respective closets. I won't air his dirty laundry, and I hope he won't air mine.
Some skeletons, however, deserve to be reported to the public — specifically, those of elected officials or candidates for elected office.
Whether you're the president of the United States, a state legislator or a student senator, the felonies and misdemeanors from your past are fair game for publishing.
Elected officials have the most public of duties. They represent constituents and act on their behalf, resulting in laws, rules and guidelines that impact the lives of everyday citizens (or in this case, students). Quite frankly, I don't want someone convicted of smacking his girlfriend around representing me. The same goes for someone who has molested children.
Unfortunately, people like that have won or been appointed to important offices, including here at the University. In 1991, then-student body president Darren Fulcher was impeached and removed after it was discovered that he hit his girlfriend, so forcefully she needed dental work.
Last year, we found only MIPs and DUIs in candidates' backgrounds. But just because we found only citations that many students have received doesn't mean we'll stop printing them; a primary function of the media is to inform people about their elected officials — the good and the bad. Moreover, some student voters might change their vote based on a candidate's DUI or MIP.
And in 1995, Eric Moore, a candidate for a Senate seat, ended his candidacy after the Kansan discovered he had been convicted of aggravated sodomy of a three-year-old child and aggravated indecent solicitation of a child under the age of 12.
The founding of Truth in Reporting seems like a tit-for-tat, knee-jerk reaction by a select group of senators angry that their parents found out about a minor run-in with the law, thanks to our reporting. It's not as if we're seeking to sully senators' reputation; we're just being loyal to our well-founded principles.
To those combing Kansan staffers' backgrounds, I say go ahead. Our records are public. But please attempt to understand why we do what we do
And if you don't want us looking into yours, stay out of the race.

Tribe's return overdue, good for Kansas
The Kanza people have bought back lands that once belonged to them.
The name of our state, Kansas, was adopted from the Kanza tribe, which means "People of the South Wind." But decades after white settlers pushed them out, members of the tribe have just now reclaimed part of the land named after them.
After more than one hundred years of exile, the Kaw Nation is returning home.
Last year, the Kaw Nation bought 170 acres of land in eastern Kansas near Council Grove, land that was once controlled by them. The Kanzas will still retain their headquarters in Kaw City, Oklahoma, while part of the tribal members relocate back to Kansas.
Borniger is a Wichita senior in journalism.
About 1750, the Kanzas began migrating west from the lower Ohio Valley. The Algonquin tribe had been a fierce enemy from the east, while Europeans were beginning to invade. The Kanzas settled along the base of the Ohio River before migrating into what is now eastern and northern Kansas, including some territory in Missouri and Nebraska.
By 1800, epidemics such as cholera and small pox contracted from white settlers diminished the Kanza tribe to fewer than 1,500 people. Slowly, the Kanzas were pushed out of their new homeland during the mid-1820s. The federal government issued the Indian Removal Act of 1830 to legalize their exile.
Kanza lands shrunk from 2 million acres to 250,000 acres by 1846. Later, the Kanzas were forced to move to Oklahoma, where they have staved.
But a return — even a small one — by the Kanza people becomes an asset to Kansas and helps make up for historical wrongs.
The presence of the Kaw Nation may be an asset to the local economy. The Kaw Nation is working to get the land listed on the national historic register and may eventually turn it into a heritage park. People will then be able to learn more about the Kaw Nation and its contributions.
It is disheartening to know that the Kanzas had to buy back land that was taken from them to return home. But it is wonderful that the original Kansas residents are finally making their way back home.

Drew, it is in your best interest to stay for your junior year at KU. You and the other sophomores have shown tremendous talent and promise, but none of you guys have been on a championship team yet. If the three of you stay together, you can still accomplish great things. Think of how you and Collison could dominate the inside. You guys could be cutting down nets your junior and senior years. At least stay around for another year. You owe it to yourself.

Seton Hall's Amaker accepts Michigan job
The Associated Press
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. Tommy Amaker has resigned as basketball coach at Seton Hall to rebuild the program at Michigan.
Amaker will replace Brian Ellerbe, who was fired two weeks ago after posting a 62-60 record in four seasons, including a 25-9 mark his first year. The Wolverines were 12-19, 15-14 and 10-18 the past three seasons and didn't finish better
than eighth in the Big Ten.
"We appreciate all that Tommy has done to position our bas
MICHIGAN
ketball program among the best in the nation," Seton Hall athletic director Jeff Fogelson said yesterday. "I'm sure that he will do the same for Michigan."
Leading candidates to succeed Amaker include Skip Prosser, who led Xavier to the NCAA tournament this season.
Amaker spoke to the Seton Hall players yesterday, said a source close to Seton Hall.
"He's going to be introduced at Michigan on Friday," added the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
In Ann Arbor, officials at Michigan said final details were
being worked out to hire a replacement for Ellerbe.
"Bill Martin (Michigan athletic director) is currently working with UM legal counsel and is putting together a contract that we hope can be announced shortly," Michigan athletic department spokesman Bruce Madel said.
Amaker, who will be 36 in June, posted a 68-55 record in four seasons at Seton Hall. The former Duke star led the Pirates to four postseason appearances, the highlight being a surprising trip to the round of 16 in last year's NCAA tournament.
Amaker is leaving his first head coaching job after what has been perceived as his most disappointing season.
Seton Hall was ranked as high as No. 7 early in the season, but the team fell apart down the stretch and didn't qualify for the Big East postseason tournament until it beat Connecticut in its regular season finale.
The Pirates finished 16-15 after losing to Alabama in the opening round of the NIT, the team's third trip to that tournament under Amaker.
"We have already begun to identify candidates that we feel will lead Seton Hall's program into the future," Fogelson said, noting the Pirates had already begun a search for a new coach
HAINES CITY, Fla. — Kansas City catcher Gregg Zaun, who worked all winter overcoming shoulder surgery, tore a calf muscle during routine drills yesterday and could miss six weeks or more.
Royals lose catcher to injury

Also yesterday, left-hander Jose Rosado had a cortisone shot in his surgically repaired left shoulder and will not even begin soft-tossing until later this week. When the two-time All-Star is ready to pitch at the major level team remains anyone's guess.

two months ahead of schedule and I was ready to go." Catching was already considered one of the Royals' most questionable positions. Zaun hit .274 with seven home runs and 33 RBIs in 65 games last year but threw out only 13 of 70 baserunners attempting to steal. A sprained right elbow put him on the 15-day disabled list in April and then he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder in November.
Rosado, the Royals' only left-handed starter, missed almost all of last season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder. The Royals had hoped he might be ready by Anril or Marl.
"My goal is to get Rosie back in the rotation some time before the season is over," Royals manager Tony Muser said. "If it's September, so be it. If it's August, so be it. If it's June, so be it. But we've got to get him going."
Tennis stars might help Hingis case
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams and Lindsay Davenport might be called to testify next week at the trial of a man charged with stalking Martina Hingis.
The lawyer for Dubrovakra Rajecvic said yesterday he wanted the players to say Hingis was not emotionally distressed, as the prosecution claims, by his client's professed love for the 20-year-old Swiss star.
Hingis, the No.1 female tennis player in the world, is to be a prosecution witness.
Rajcevice frequently interrupted his lawyer in court before jury selection began yesterday.
Rajcevic, a 46-year-old Australian who was born in Croatia, is charged with one count of stalking and three counts of trespassing at the 2000 Ericsson Open on Key Biscayne near Miami. Each count carries a possible one-year sentence.
"You're going to have to control that impulse when you're in front of the jury," Judge Kevin Emas said.
Rajcevic has been in jail for a year, unable to post $2 million bond and unwilling to promise to stay away from his avowed love interest in exchange for his freedom.
Rajevic has sent love letters and flowers to Hingis and wants a romantic relationship with her. Three psychologists who evaluated him last July found him delusional about Hingis but mentally competent to stand trial.
Hingis and Davenport are to appear in person after completing play in the 2001 Ericsson Open. The finals are this weekend.
The Williams sisters plan to go to Europe after the tournament. Frank Abrams, the lawyer for Rajcevic, said they would appear by closed-circuit TV from Europe if called to testify.
Emas said he had received a letter from a lawyer representing the Williams sisters, asking that their subpoenas be quashed.
Opening statements were set for tomorrow. Hingis was expected to take the stand Monday, and the judge said the trial should finish next week
Maryland anticipating rematch against ACC rival Duke in Final Four
The Associated Press
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maybe it was the unusual draw that got Maryland beyond the Sweet 16 hump
and into its first Final Four If so, the Terrapins could be in good shape heading into Saturday's semifinal against Duke
A series of subplots in its first three NCAA tournament games
helped deflect what had become almost an annual deathwatch for a school that hadn't made the final eight since 1975. George Mason was a neighboring school led by a Gulf War veteran, Georgia State was coached by former Maryland coach Lefty Driesell, and the meeting with Georgetown was a long overdue resumption of a local rivalry.
"It looks from here like the selection committee did a great job -- they put us in a region we could win," coach Gary Williams said.
"The first three games that we played made it a little different."
A victory against Stanford — no off-the-beaten-path stories there
A victory off the-beaten-pan won the West Maryland, leading to a fourth meeting this season with the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday in Minneapolis. The
HILTON COLLEGE
Minneapolis. The awe of being a newcomer at the season's final party quickly dissipates with the
realization that the opponent is a very familiar one.
"That's what makes this more magical," forward Byron Mouton said. "This one is for all the bragging rights."
Thus the chance to play for a national championship has more of the familiar feeling of a bad-blood Atlantic Coast Conference game. It's a rematch the Terrapins started talking up even as they left the court following an 84-82 loss to Duke in the ACC tournament $2_{1/2}$ weeks ago.
The Terrapins are adjusting to
requests for tickets and the extra media attention this week, but at least there's no need for extra film sessions to study the tendencies of some unfamiliar team.
"We respect Duke probably more than anybody else because we've played them three times," Williams said. "But at the same time, we know we can play with them."

Allen considers quarterback spot
By Jeff Denton
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Zach Dyer threw only 12 passes last season, but the redshirt freshman from Oathe will be Kansas No. 1 quarterback as spring football practice kicks off this afternoon.
Dyer, 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, spent most of last season on the sideline as starter Dylan Smith's understudy. But seeing limited in big games has given coach Terry Allen the confidence to name Dyer as his number one guy—for now.
"We've got 15 days to find a quarter-back," Allen said, referring to the two-plus weeks of spring football practice. "Zach Dyer is the guy right now going in, but we are excited about the potential of the freshmen."
The freshmen battling for the vacant job are Ryan Long and Mario Kinsey. Also under consideration is redshirt sophomore Jonas Weatherbie

The candidates know the situation — four guys for one spot — but competing to become the next starting quarterback at Kansas excites them.
"The competition is good for the team, it makes everyone perform at a higher level." Dyer said.

Long used his redshirt season to learn the nuances of the Kansas offense.

"I feel that I can be the No. I guy, that's just the confidence in me," Kinsey said.
Dyer, Long, Kinsey and Weatherbie know the next two weeks of competition will be crucial, but they vow not to let the position battle affect their friendships.
"There is more to life than a starting spot on the football team," Long said. "Each of us is going to push each other in a nonverbal way, but when the time comes next season, I think that the coaches will put the

Senior co-captain Nate Dwyer, who is recovering from off-season surgery on his left wrist, will be limited but will play in spring ball. The spring game will be at 7 p.m. April 21 at Memorial Stadium.

Golf team finds leadership in senior
By John Domoney sports@kansan.com Konson sportswriter
It's crunch time for the Kansas women's golf team.
The Jayhawks will compete in two more tournaments before heading to the Big 12 Championship at the end of April.
For a team with four sophomores and two freshman on its roster, the Jayhawks are in need of a leader as the end of the season approaches. And Ashley Bishop, the team's lone senior, is the obvious choice.
Franklin, Ind., which was highlighted by a three-year stint on the Indiana all-
Bishop came to Kansas after a successful high school career in
"Ashely Bishop is a good leader, and she shows a lot by her actions," head coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. "I've really relied on her to be vocal, and she's someone that helps me with the team."
A f t e r Bishop's first two years at Kansas, she was reunited with her former coach w h e Hollingsworth signed on in June 1999.
PETER LEE
Bishop: is the only senior on the women's golf team
In her four years at
Kansas, Bishop has amassed an impressive resume. It includes a co-Most Improved Award for her play during her junior year and a spot on the Big 12 Commissioners Honor Roll each semester of her career.
"I think it's hard to balance golf and school and it's much harder when you're younger," Bishop said. "I know I can't give equal time to both, so when I study, I try to really work hard."
Hard work has defined her career, and she's gradually improved each year, which has been one of her goals.
"Probably my consistency this year is what I've been happiest about." Bishop said.
That consistency helped Bishop shoot a team-best 79 in the 'Hawks head-to-head match with the College of Charleston on March 22.
In the 18-hole match, the Jayhawks defeated the College of Charleston by 27 strokes and gained several days of precious practice time.
"It was a huge benefit for us to practice a lot in the mornings and
play 18 holes every day," Hollingsworth said. "It was the most fun I've had on a spring break."
But Bishop realizes that every tournament she competes in brings her closer to the end of her collegiate playing days.
"It would be fun to play a few more years," she said. "Once you get to be a certain age, you realize it's a lot more fun than when you first got here."
For the rest of the season, Bishop will continue her leadership role of steering Kansas toward a strong finish.
"We're halfway through it, and so far we get along real well and have a good time," Bishop said. "Right now we're all striving to play the best golf we can and encourage each other."

Alumni couple make sizeable donation
By Michael Sudhalter
Kansan sportswriter
Former Kansas football All-
American and basketball player Gill
Reich and his wife, Kay Lambert
Reich, made a $100,000 donation to
the University of Kansas Alumni
Association yesterday.
The donation will benefit the Second Century Fund, which will provide unrestricted support for the alumniassociation.
The Reichs, who have made several donations to a wide variety of University organizations for many years, chose to contribute to the Alumni Association for a few reasons.
"The Alumni Association has financial needs in order to provide
things," Gil Reich said, "I've been on the Alumni Association board for the past six years and have been impressed with what they do and their staff."
Fred Williams, president of the Alumni Association, said his organization was grateful for the large donation made by the Reichs.
"We are especially heartened by the trust Gil and Kay have placed in our organization and its leadership." Williams said. "With their help, the association's programs for KU and alumni will continue to thrive."
Gi Reich, who lives with his wife in Savannah Ga., played defensive halfback, quarterback, fullback, halfback and punt returner for the 1952 Kansas football team. Reich was also a starting guard on the 1952-53 basketball team that won the Big
Seven Championship and placed second in the NCAA finals.
In addition to Reich's illustrious athletics career at Kansas, he was also a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Upon graduation for the University, Reich worked for Equitable Life Assurance Society for 34 years. Reich has been an active member of the Kansas alumni community through the years.
He served as chairman of the Alumni Association's national board of directors and as chairman of the southeast regional committee for Campaign Kansas, the Kansas University Endowment's fund drive in 1989-1993.
Kay Lambert Reich also served as a member of the Reich association's southeastern regional committee. A member of Pi Beta Phi sorority, she
was part of the Mortar Board and the SpiritSquad.
In the past, the Reichs have contributed to several alumni purposes including the Williams Educational Fund, University libraries, Wagon Student Athlete Center, the Kansas Alumni Association Rock Chalk Society and the Warren V. Wood Athletic Scholarship.
Endowment Director of Communications John Scarfe said the Reich's commitment to the University was commendable.
"Gil and Kay Reich are loyal supporters of the University of Kansas and the Kansas Alumni Association and have been for years," Scarfe said. "We really appreciate their support and especially their recent $100,000 pledge for the association."

Player returns with vengeance
Continued from page 8A
Starting with the Missouri series on March 9-11. Appuhn has hit. 432(19 for 44) and has raised his average to .303, second on the team.
Appuhn's hot hitting forced Randall to move him into the leadoff role, and Appuhn has flourished in that spot. He is also second on the squad in stolen bases with 12 and has committed only one error in the field.
"I was working real hard on staying loose and staying relaxed," Appuhn said of his recent success. "At the beginning of the year I was kind of tense because I hadn't played for a while, and since I was really anxious to play this year, it was kind of hard to settle down."
Randall said settling down was easy for Appuhn because of his quiet and humble personality.
"He's so quiet," Randall said. "He's grown up in the fact that he's quiet but he not timid. It just is his personality, though. He plays hard every day. Every day, I know that he'll give it his best."
With Kansas in last place at 2-10 in the Big 12 Conference standings and co-leader No. 23 Texas coming to Lawrence, Appuhn said it was time for the Jayhawks to learn from their mistakes this year and grab a victory.
"We need to step up and get the big hits," Appuhn said. "We need to get our confidence back. The first couple of weeks, we had a lot of confidence and pitched and hit good. But ever since it's been like a domino effect. I'm just going to keep working hard and doing what's best for the team."

The 2001 incoming class of the Kansas women's soccer team has been rated in the Top 25 nationally by SoccerBuzz Magazine in its early poll.
Kansas coach Mark Francis' recruits include eight high school products from five different states and one Division I transfer.
North Carolina, Texas and Virginia were mentioned as having the top three classes in Division I. Texas A&M cracked the Top20 and joins Kansas and Texas as the only Big 12 Conference teams on the list.
SoccerBuzz will release its final rankings for the 2001 women's soccer recruiting classes in July.

Gooden smart; his entering NBA draft should wait
Dear Drew.
Hey man, what's up? First of all, congrats on another great season. I'm sorry you didn't win any championships, but I've got a great feeling about next year's Javawk team.
Actually, next season happens to be the very reason I'm writing to you. I was hesitant at first — the whole thought of you leaving early seems silly to me — but just in case.
Finally Drew, I hear your latest nickname is "The Truth." I'm confident you'll listen to it.
Wow, these past two years have really flown by haven't they? I can remember when you used to go by the name Andrew. Ah...those were the days. I still can't believe McDonalds snubbed you as a high school All-American. I bet Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar are slapping themselves.
I think you're going to be an outstanding player in the NBA someday. I can see you going nose to nose with Minnesota forward Kevin Garnett in a few years and maybe you'll even make an All-Star team. The sky is the limit for you, Drew. You've got NBA potential written all over you, but potential is no guarantee for production. If you want everybody in the world to see Gooden "plenty," it's going to take a lot more work.
Yep, you've come a long way in two years. You've slimmed down your name and shaped up your game and now all the NBA scouts are looking in your direction. That's awesome man, I'm so excited for you.
I've seen several mock drafts and I've scoped out a few talent rankings. I've even talked to a couple of scouts who were courtside at your games. The pride of Richmond, Calif., is no longer a secret on the national scene. Most projections I've seen have you as one of the top 20 players in the country and being picked in the middle of the first should you declare yourself eligible. Not too shabby. A first-round pick could make some serious money and everybody's leaving early these days, so why not you, too?
Hannul is a Topske junior in broadcast journalism.
Physically, you match up well with most guys who leave school early. You're also just as talented. The list of similarities goes on and on. But there's one difference between you and the rest of the '80s children now in the NBA: You're smarter than they are.
Drew, I know I don't have to tell you about the benefits of staying in school. You already know exactly how much an extra year or two with Coach Williams would help your game. Just look how far you've come in two seasons at Kansas. You're smart enough to know riding the pine in the NBA won't make you near as good as taking the big shot in the final seconds of a college game. You know that for every Michael Jordan there's a Scotty Thurman. And for every Kobe Bryant there's a Korleone Young.
The thing I love most about you is your passion for getting better and that you want to be one of the greatest players ever. You recognize that as good as you are now, there's still plenty of room for improvement. You know how much you could raise your draft stock with another great year like the one you just had.
Scouts might try to tell you, "But what if you get hurt next year? Take the money now."
I'm thrilled you want to be a star, not a journeyman. But most of all, I'm glad you realize timing is everything and this just isn't the time.
With you, I know it's much bigger than that. You don't want to just make it into the league and collect your check. You want to be the best. You've seen guys who left too early get tossed around the league like rag dolls. You know Chauncey Billups has more former teams than he has fingers to count them on.
Williams expects Gooden back
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams is leaving for Minnesota to watch the Final Four. Don't worry, he'll be back.
He thinks sophomore forward Drew Gooden will be back for his junior season, too.
"I expect him to come back and am planning on him coming back," Williams said. "We're still talking about it and we're going to talk about it for a while.
"I'm gathering some more information and there will be a point that he'll have enough information to make this decision, and when that point comes he will make the decision."
Gooden, who led Kansas with 15.8 points
and 8.4 rebounds per game this year, said after Friday's season-ending loss to Illinois his decision would be made within two weeks. He said he would have a press conference to announce that decision after talking further with his family and with Williams.
1
Williams said Gooden needed time to
think through the decision and not have other people putting rumors into his head.
Williams: confident iophorme forward 30den will return
"The worst that can happen is that every time he turns around someone asks him
something about that," Williams said. "That just makes it more of a harassment.
Kansas basketball notes
1 honestly think that's the reason Paul (Pierce) and Raef (LaFrentz) didn't want to have press conferences. The fact of the matter is they didn't want press conferences because they were sick of people asking them to talk about it."
■ Senior forward Kenny Gregory will participate in ESPN's 13th Annual College Slam Dunk & Three-Point Basketball Championships tonight at Concordia University in Minneapolis, Mim. It will air on ESPN on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
■ Gregory and senior center Eric Chenowith were both invited to participate in the Desert Classic, an NBA draft combine in Phoenix, Ariz. May 1-5.
- Kansas signee Wayne Simien missed last night's McDonalds All-America game after reinjuring his shoulder during a workout to prepare for the game.
Williams said he heard a rumor Simien may need surgery to repair the damaged shoulder, which was injured for the third time in the last two months.
- "I spoke to his mother this morning, and he'll be coming back and have the doctors look at him on Friday." Williams said. "At that time a plan will be made on where to go from there. It appears that they'll have to do something besides rest and rehab." Simien and fellow Kansas signee Aaron Miles were named Gatorade Player of the Year in Kansas and Oregon, respectively.

Center fielder excelling after injury
Bv Rvan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
What Kansas' sophomore center fielder initially thought was a pulled muscle in high school turned out to be a medical mess that eventually caused Appuhn to sit out the entire 2002 season at Kansas.
Jason Appuhl remembers the day more than three years ago when he fired a ball from the outfield and winced in excruciating pain.
Now one of Kansas' leading hitters, base stealers and defensive players, Appuhn looks back at his difficult season on the bench as a blessing in disguise.
"I think it helped me out a lot because I got to see what I had to work on to get better," Appuhn said. "I was able to process in my mind what kind of things I had to do. I realized what I had to do to get good."
Ever since the first time he aggravated his side in the summer of his junior year of high school, Appuhn played with pain.
But when physicians scraped the calcium deposit off Appuhn's ribs, they noticed he had a broken rib. They removed it, but Appuhn would not be able to recover in time and was forced to sit out the season.
"At first, the doctors said that I'd be out three to four weeks max," Appuhn said. "But it kept hurting really bad, so I decided to redshift. It was hard having to sit in the stands and watch the games. I benefit."
Doctors had previously diagnosed a calcium deposit on Appuhn's ribs, and it was determined surgery would be required. Doctors told Appuhn he would recover in time to return for the start of last season.
ed a lot from it, though."
Despite the injury, Appuhn went on to record a spectacular senior season at Millard North High School in Omaha. Appuhn lettered in baseball, football and basketball and received all-state honors in football and baseball. It was Appuhn's all-around athletic ability that caught Kansas coach Bobby Randall's eye when Appuhn attended Kansas' summer baseball camp.
"When we saw him at camp, we noticed that he was such a great athlete." Randall said. "I knew he was a great three-sport athlete in high school. He was strong, well-built, had great speed, and we loved the way he swung the bat at camp."
Appuhn started 40 out of Kansas' 54 games his freshman year, hitting .221 with three home runs, but the pain became just too hard to bear near the end of the season and into fall practice last year.
Appuhn even received several cortisone shots during his high school career in Omaha, Neb., to neutralize the pain so he could continue playing.
This season, Randall said Appuhn was performing at a much higher level. Appuhn earned the starting position at centerfield in the preseason but started slowly at the plate, hitting just .244 in the Jayhawks' first 14 games.

INJURY UPDATES
Both seniors were injured in a collision in the sixth-inning of Kansas' 6-5 loss at Arkansas on Tuesday.
The Kansas baseball team received injury updates on Doug Dreher and John Nelson yesterday.
Dreher, a left-fielder, is out because of an injured left wrist for this weekend's series against No. 22 Texas in
Lawrence. Dehrer was examined again yesterday. Doctors didn't see a fracture but think he sprained ligaments in his wrist. Dehrer has played in every game this season and is currently hitting .302 for the Javahawks (14-15).
Nelson, a shortstop, suffered a possible concussion in the collision, although he finished Tuesday's game and has been cleared to play for the Texas series. Nelson leads the team in hitting at 355

Softball splits with Razorbacks

Two of those rallies were stopped by double plays. Another came to a halt when Kansas second baseman Amy Hulse was picked off second with two outs in the fifth inning.
After winning the first game 4-1, the Jayhawks (17-16) struggled with Razorback freshman pitcher Heather Schitchman in the nightcap and fell 3-0.
The Kansas softball team watched a successful homestand come to a frustrating end yesterday afternoon as it split a doubleheader with Arkansas at Jawahry Field.
"We just kept finding ways to beat ourselves." Kansas coach Tracy Burge said.
Though the 'Hawks managed only four hits against the Arkansas hurler, they put themselves in position to rally on several occasions.
Hulse, a junior who is third on the team with a 310 batting average, said the game was typical of softball and wouldn't get the team down.
"You just have to relax and try to make things happen," she said. "Sometimes they go your way, sometimes they don't. You just hope they go your way more often than
not."
But Hulse admitted she was excited about playing against Texas A&M this weekend in warm College Station, Texas.
Bunge said she was fed up with the uneasonably cold temperatures in Lawrence.
Hulse also said the cold temperatures, which barely crept into the mid 40s, didn't play a factor.
"It's really more of a factor for our fans than us," she said. "We warmed up inside before the game so it really didn't bother us."
"It was not a whole lot of fun to play a doubleheader of softball in this weather," said Bunge, who spent the hours before the game raking water off the infield. "At 11 o'clock, I seriously began to doubt whether we'd even play. I'm thankful to the good Lord that he dried it up. I just wish he'd warmed it up."
The first game was similar to the second, except the teams played opposite roles. This time it was a freshman pitcher for Kansas, Kara Pierce, who stymied the Razorbacks' offense.
Pierce, who's developed into Kansas' ace, wasn't dominant. But she held Arkansas (20-17) to one run on seven scattered hits in improving to 10-7 on the season.
"I don't think Kara Pierce was as sharp as
"This is the time of year when you need to start playing well and you need to start taking care of business every day," Bunge said. "Still, although one loss to Arkansas isn't a bad thing, it would have been nice to get two."
After sweeping Texas last weekend and Missouri-Kansas City on Tuesday, the Jayhawks concluded the homestand with a 5-1 record.
Bunge said she was pleased with the direction the team was heading.
Kansas will travel south this weekend for a series with Texas A&M beginning Saturday at 3 p.m.

lawrence has changed in the eight years since Nick Gordon arrived in Kansas.
No longer do Paw and Stick sell out the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., on a Monday night. No longer do music writers and local music 'zines gush about Lawrence being the next bearer of the flannel torch.
Instead, hundreds of teenagers flock to Kansas City to watch local heroes The Get Up Kids open for Weezer, and if the Bottleneck is sold out, it's likely the Anniversary is playing there. Meanwhile, local hip-hop shows consistently attract diverse legions of curious college students.
The music scene in Lawrence through the years has been consistently inconsistent.
With the release of The Soundtrack for Moments, Gordon, who masterminded the album's release, takes a snapshot of current Lawrence rock music. Gathering up veterans Arthur Dodge and Danny Pound and throwing them together with local rookie The Appleseed Cast and others, Moments captures a picture of an ever-shifting local music scene.
The release party for Moments began at the Bottleneck last night, and continues tonight with bands Panel Donor, Danny Pound, the Ugly Boyfriend and Shawnee.
From the whiskey-bottle folk of Dodge to the scathing instrumental noisescapes of Everest, this compilation shuns the notion of genre-specific compiling in favor of an eclectic mix of artists who accentuate the diversity and breadth of local talent.
"The scene is just incredible here," Gordon said. "It's much different than in big cities. In Lawrence, musicians drink together in the bars and play in each other's bands. People don't move here to become big rock stars, so musicians and songwriters are usually honest and friendly."
"There was a period of time where local shows couldn't attract more than 150 people, but lately a lot more people have been coming out to local shows," he said. "All that, combined with the support of KJHK and local venues like the Bottleneck, makes the Lawrence music scene very special."
Yet, as veteran rocker and ex-Vitreous Humor guitarist/vocalist Pound, who contributed the lead-off song for *Moments*, can attest, "scene" can be a tricky word.
"I wouldn't exactly call it a scene," Pound said. "The last time I remember a scene was in 1991-92, but maybe I'm just out of the loop. I'm a firm believer in individuals doing their own thing and feeding off of each other for inspiration. Lawrence is a great place to play music, thanks to the wealth of musicians and curious college students, but it's hard to identify a scene."
We Sell Soul Records focuses on regional groove and hip-hop sounds, while The Braintree Foundation, which picked Moments for its first release, focuses on more rock-oriented sounds. Inspired by record labels with a distinct sound such as Kill Rocks Stars and Dischord, Gordon has his own ideas of what comprises a scene.
Gordon, who grew up amidst a vibrant rock scene in Minneapolis, is the co-founder and president of Artist Workshop, a distribution company that helps get regional and national music in stores, as well as two record labels.
Gordon said the music scene is composed of three lifelines.
"Firstly, the people behind the scenes who book the shows, run the clubs, open studios, produce, put out, and promote the records," he said. "Secondly, the bands. Thirdly, and most importantly, the people who listen to the music. Without an audience,
(1)
everything else is meaningless."
"The nice thing about Lawrence is that it's small enough that the hip-hop kids and the rock kids can mix," he said.
Gordon said the key to being part of a scene is contributing to it, and there are many ways to do that.
Gordon added that many smaller scenes can prospers within the larger context of the Lawrence scene.
"The music on Moments is representative of one of those smaller scenes. I couldn't give a name to the type of music we selected, but it definitely has a distinct sound," he said.
Being connected to the scene is the keystone of Gordon's efforts. He pounded the drums for the now defunct Chebellal and for The Ugly Boyfriend on Moments.
"Playing music is the foundation for me being in this industry," Gordon said. "It helps me relate to the musicians that I'm working with."
he also tries to maintain connections with people producing music. He recently returned from a week in Austin, Texas, networking at the South By Southwest Music and Media Conference. He compares the independent record industry to the Wild West, where under-funded companies run by non-traditional businessmen try to survive in an industry where there are no rules.
"We're just the masses of small, little people trying to put out good art," Gordon said. "For some people, it's a really frustrating industry. It can be an unethical business and it's very scrappy."
But personally, he copied on:
"For me, every day I do this is a joy," Gordon said.
"The process of putting out music is just magical. I'm completely addicted to it."
But personally, he enjoys the work.
The release party is a proud occasion for Gordon
"The nice thing about Lawrence is that it's small enough that the hip hop kids and the rock kids can mix."
Nick Gordon
co-founder and president of The Artist's Workshop
and band-mate Travis Millard, who also designed the CD cover — both are moving to New York within the next couple weeks.
"I feel really good about what I've accomplished here in Lawrence," Gordon said. "It will always be an emotional home base for me."
He will carry his two record labels with him to the Big Apple, but he remains committed to promoting talent in Lawrence, as evidenced by We Sell Soul's commitment to local hip-hop artist Approach. Milliard plans to promote his artwork, which has already appeared in national publications such as Spin Magazine. Artist Workshop will stay in Lawrence.
Gordon and Millard's pilgrimage to New York only reinforces the transient nature of the Lawrence music scene. Many other artists have used Lawrence as a springboard to bigger careers. Arthur Dodge recently settled down in Nashville. Mates of State have been building a strong fan base by touring along the west coast, while The Get Up Kids, Coalesce, and Proudentall have toured nationally.
"Sometimes scenes like these spark and flutter and disappear before they've been recognized," Gordon said. "The Soundtrack for Moments is a picture of a very lively and special scene that's happening right now."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 29).
You've always been smart, but this year you're awesome. Take twice as many classes as usual, and excel all of them. Set high goals for yourself in April. Check your resources in May, then launch your study program in June. Concentrate at home in July and schedule a field trip for August. September is tough, but October is easy — that's when you'll win all the arguments. December is fun, February fascinating. Put what you've learned into action, then catch up on your sleep in March.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Todav is an 8.
All's well that ends well, and this day definitely should end well. Tomorrow's not bad, either. Any chance you could get these days off and make it a long weekend? If not, just start your romp as early as possible. You'll be in a great mood wherever you are.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Gemini (Mav 21-June 21) — Todav is a 6.
Somebody else's lack of planning could mean money in your pocket. Charge extra, if you can, for a rush order. The rewards are greater than expected, so don't complain even if your tranquility is temporarily interrupted.
You're cute, popular and lucky. Schedule a date with a bold and dashing friend. But be careful not to have too much fun. You could get into trouble by being too appealing. Another friend is likely to get jealous.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Be a good listener, but don't say much. Your boss may decide to unload. Don't let the information you gather be a burden. Instead, use it to advance your mutual cause. The more you can be trusted, the greater your influence grows.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8.
July 25-29, 22] — Today is on 8.
Your team looks to you for advice, and that's certainly not a problem. You're getting coaching from a distance and may even be from a person you admire. If not, you should be. It will be good for all of you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
You may be helping another with a difficult situation, but you don't have to worry about it — most likely, you're not the one who caused this mess. Stay objective even if the other person seems to be looking for somebody to blame. You can dodge that bullet.
Libra [Sept. 23-Oct. 22] — Today is a 7.
(Lepr, 25-Oct. 22) Is it today?
Although you have some good ideas, it may be tough to get them across. A very strong person wants to take control. A direct confrontation won't work, but you might succeed with a more subtle maneuver. Set the stage so your friend comes to your conclusion naturally. Make it the easiest path to follow.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
Follow the money trail and you'll find out who has all the power. It may not be the person you thought it was. You can share what you learn with your sweet-heart, but don't tell anyone else. You may be able to use this information to your advantage later.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8.
You're not the kind of person who finds it easy to talk about long-term commitments. You may find yourself doing just that with a very special person, and soon, it will seem like the most natural thing in the world.
Make only promises that you'll be delighted to keep.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5.
Paperwork takes top priority at work and home. Better go through that stack you've been saving — and you haven't read half your magazines. Fight back before you're buried alive.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7
A loved one would like the pleasure of your company — for the entire day, if possible. If you can't manage that, at least avoid scheduling any other commitments for tonight. Discuss your vision for the future and share mutual memories. Congratulate yourselves on how far you've come.
P
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5.
男女
Don't let financial concerns slow you down. There's no shortage of money; the challenge is to get more of it flowing into your pockets. It won't be there long, anyway. You've got your eye on something neat for your home. Use that as your motivation.

Proper technique vital to achieve rippling abs
I recently read an article in Shape magazine about abdominal workouts and realized many people, including me, have no clue how to effectively achieve awesome ab definition.

Try working your abs to exhaustion, which develops strength and tone, and then give them about 48 hours of rest. Remember, you don't need to do hundreds of crunches and then hundreds of leg raises to work your "upper" and "lower" abs. First of all, they're not separated into upper and lower sections, but rather one long
You may have heard it is okay to work your abs every day, but that's not true. Your abs (rectus abdominis) are just like any other muscle and need to be worked accordingly.

But the truth is no matter how strong your abs become, you may need to shed body fat if you want to see more definition. This can be achieved by eating a healthy diet, regular cardio and total-body strength training to burn calories, and building metabolism-boosting muscles.

CD REVIEWS
The Standard The Standard (Barbaric)
24
Tim Putnam's voice is an enigma. He is the front man of The Standard, an indie quartet from Portland
The range of his voice and the variety of musical textures his band achieves characterize the high points of this album.
On "Direct Drive," the opening track of the band's self-titled debut album, his voice rings out in a plaintive high-pitched intensity as it is backed by a hard, pulsing rhythm. Yet the insistent urgency of his tone is contrasted later in the album by the rich emotionally tinged huskiness he resonates in the bare acoustic piece "The Greatest Gift."
Tracks like the melodically driven "Spanglish" feature a more subdued Putnam as he croons in front of layered guitars and alrv keyboard riffs.
The band's lyrics tend to encompass common subjects like failed relationships in "Queen and Subject" and religion in "Palm Sunday."
Several lighter piano and keyboard-based tracks occur in this album. These tracks highlight the group's musical versatility, notably in the Leonard Cohenesque strains of "Simplify."
This band's first offering is a strong album that sets the standard, for them at least, quite high.

Even the packaging of Tantric's self-titled album reflects the
Tantric
Tantric
(Maverick)
brand of late-'90s/millennium rock seen in other bands like Godsmack, A Perfect Circle and Three Doors Down.
"Breakdown," which has received a decent amount of air play, shows tendencies toward originality, including cleverly placed syncopation. The band's vocal harmonies, which also set it apart from others in the genre, are most evident on "Live Your Life (Down)." It's nice to hear harmonized vocals in current music that don't come from a boy band.
Their sometimes lyrical quality takes a break on "Revillusion." Aside from the syncope and modulating forms in the songs, Tantric offers another surprise—they're really good and not a cheap imitation of Godsmack, though the styles are strikingly similar. Although the sound may not be incredibly original — Hugo Ferreira's haunting vocals on top of heavy, distorted sounds create an Alice In Chains quality — Tantric is a refreshing break from the pop-infused sounds that dominate the airwaves at MTV. They may not stand out on the shelf next to the other post-grunge rock band, but the music has a strong sound. And at least these boys don't have synchronized dance moves.

On the road again
500-mile bike trek to benefit AIDS care
Bv Katie Nelson
jayplay@kansan.com
jayplay writer
A 500 mile bike ride isn't something David Brahm does regularly.
But from July 9 to July 14, he'll mount his bike and take on the long trek as part of Tanqueray's AIDSRidesUSA.
Although there are four different routes in AIDSRidesUSA, Brahamand four other area residents will take part in the Heartland ride, which goes from Minneapolis to Chicago. On the route, 500 crew members and 1,700 riders will make their way through back roads of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois.
Each rider commits to raise at least $2,500 in pledges. To meet that goal, Braham and Team Sunflower, as they call themselves, are organizing a benefit concert.
"We have four awesome local bands who have donated their time and energy to make this event happen,"
Benefit concert
Brent Berry and the Secondhands, The Revely Trio, Space Pocket, and The Roundups will play at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 4, at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Cover is $5.
Brahamsaid.
The concert, featuring Brent Berry and the Second hands, the Revely Trio. Space Pocket and The Roundups will start at 8:30 p.m. April 4, at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The cover will be 85.
Sarah Dehart, a Lawrence senior who is participating in the ride for the first time, said the concert would be rewarding in several ways.
"If you believe in the cause, come for that reason alone, you $$$me a lot to us," she said. "If you want free stuff, bring extra money for rattle tickets and have a chance at a bunch of cool prizes donated by local businesses."
Abike and gift certificates for Tellers, Shalors, Juice Stop, Sugar Town, Free State Glass, Sylas and Maddy's and Lunaria will be awarded as raffle prizes, Braham said.
AIDSRidesUSA is created and produced by Pallotta TeamWorks, a for-profit organization that raises and donates money to AIDS and breast cancer charities.
"Being a part of the AIDSRide is an incredible feeling," Braham said.
Sarah Lawton, Overland Park junior, said she was a return rider.
"It's an amazing journey," she said.
"The attitude on the trip is really what brought me back. It is very supportive. The ride is more about reaching your personal goals than anything else."
Michael Broadfoot of Lawrence. Justin Flatbush of Kansas City, Mo., and crew member Matt Gordon of Kansas City, Kan., will also take part in the ride.
Since 1994, the AIDSides have donated $83.8 million to AIDS care and prevention programs in the nation, according to the Web site aidsride.org. This year, the Heartland ride is expected to raise $5 million. The money goes to non-profit organizations in the Minnesota, Wisconsin and Chicago areas.
"It's a great way to come to terms with what it's like to battle with AIDS," Dehart said. "All of the training and time I spend fund raising gets so frustrating at times. Then I think about it and realize that it's nothing compared to what AIDS victims deal with daily. In that sense, it really puts things into perspective. I'm growing a great deal from the event."

Traci Tullus wants students to stop and listen to her art.
the Lawrence graduate student's thesis exhibition, "Never Knew What Hit Her," on display at the Art and Design Gallery, is more than just visual art. Tullius has incorporated sound, video and live performances into the exhibit, which explores new genres of art.
Tullius said she thought the noise that comes from the gallery piqued many visitors' interests.
"A lot of people come through the gallery, walking with their heads down. I wanted to do something to make them stop, to make them take it in
orally, as well as visually." Tullius said.
The exhibit closes today with a final. 30-minute performance at 4:30 in the art and design gallery and a closing reception from 4 to 6 p.m., which is free and open to the public.
Her video showing endlessly looped footage of empty bus seats did just that. A friend of Tullius made the sound from the video louder and distorted. Tullius said the noise filtered out into the hallway, and she saw students turn around to check it out.
The exhibit is based on what Tullus calls futile activities, such as riding a bus, sweeping fields, or standing absolutely still.
"By using common images only slightly removed from their familiar contexts, the work is placed in the realm of déjà vu...those moments of complete strangeness that are upsetting because they seem so familiar," she said.
Roger Shimomura, professor of art and a member of the thesis committee, pointed out that Tullius' exhibit was one of the first exhibitions to incorporate performance.
The title of the exhibit comes from one of the video presentations in
Performance
A set of bleachers, which Tullus meant for people to sit and watch the exhibit, sits in the middle of the gallery.

"I was eating my lunch in here, and someone asked me if I was part of the exhibit, and I said, 'Sure, everything in here is.'" Tullius said.

When Michael Strening Jr., was at the University of Kansas for the first time, he was here to raise hell.
Now, the composer and pianist and part-time substitute teacher in the Chicago public schools is back to perform at his alma mater for the first time at 7 tonight at the Spencer Museum of Art to promote the release of his second album *Stars*.
The 1993 graduate was a history major who hadn't touched the piano since his senior year in high school. Still, his musical interests ranged from Beastie Boys to Beethoven, from Pearl Jam and Nirvana to Chopin.
"I was really just sick of it," he said. "I was partying a lot and lots of other stuff. Although I'm grateful to my parents for making me take piano lessons, it's exciting to be playing because it's on my own terms."
Strening said he had a great time at the University, but he admitted he was a less-than-perfect student.
"It's great to show the music to people who were discouraged with me," he said.
Before a last-minute concert at Aimee's Coffee House on Tuesday, Strening spent time on campus, stopping to visit with former professors like Carl Strikwerda, professor of history and associate dean of CLAS.

"There are students you like for all kinds of reasons," Strikwerda said. "Some are great scholars and others, you just like their personalities. With Michael, I think it was more that I liked his personality."
Experience in and around Lawrence — watching the nesting bald eagles, cycling with friends along the Kaw River and watching the sun come up across Mount Oread — fueled the songs from his first album. Sunrise.
"It's inspired by nature interacting with the city and landscapes," he said. "I enjoy telling stories between my pieces."
Although Strening substitute teaches off and on, he said he would like to make piano his full-time gig.
“It’s exciting to play because I’m coming on my own terms,” he said. “This is something I'm choosing to do now.”

Pennsylvania legislator introduces toupee bill
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Giving new meaning to the word "coverage," a Pennsylvania lawmaker has introduced a bill to require insurance companies to pay for hairpieces in certain cases.
State Rep. Anthony Deluca says toupes should be covered by insurance if hair loss is caused by a medical condition.
DeLuca's bill notes toupees are often prescribed for cancer patients who sustain hair loss after undergoing chemotherapy, and for persons afflicted by alopecia areata, a genetic disorder that causes hair loss.
Toupees can lessen the emotional effects of hair loss, help control body temperature, and protect diseased, sensitive skin from ultraviolet radiation, said DeLuca, who does not wear a hairpiece.
"insurance companies call it cosmetic, but unfortunately it's a necessity for people who get these kinds of diseases," DeLuca said.

Chuck Reed, manager of Pla More Lanes, verified Thomas' record with the American Bowling Congress shortly after the game Monday.
According to Reed, the last person to hold the record was 87 and 5 months old; Thomas is 87 and 11 months.
"I'm just hoping I can get out of bed when he's his age, and he's out here bowling perfect games," Reed said.
Lewis and Clark sponsor Lewis and Clark bill
INDIANAPOLIS — Who better to sponsor a bill recognizing Lewis and Clark than Lewis and Clark?
The Indiana Senate voted 47-1 Monday to pass legislation that would create a state commission to mark the 200th anniversary of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's expedition to explore the West.
The measure was sponsored by state Sens. James Lewis and Murray Clark.
Explorers Lewis and Clark met in Clarksville, Ind., just outside Louisville, Ky., to prepare for their 1803-06 journey. Many members of their Corps of Discovery exploration team were recruited from the area.
Clarksville residents sought the measure because they want the town included in a national celebration of the expedition's bicentennial. The state House of Representatives had already passed a similar bill.
Fire reveals $30,000 stash of hidden cash
NEW YORK — Firefighters tearing down a damaged ceiling found much more than charred rubble.
They discovered nearly $30,000 in cash believed to have been stored in a Brooklyn apartment for at least 20 years.
"We think it belonged to some bookie who got bumped off, or some wise guy who went on the lam," Firefighter Anthony Chaimowitz joked Tuesday, "We've been thinking up all kinds of crazy New York-style stories."
Firefighters responded Sunday to a fire that started after a resident fell asleep while smoking. No one was inured.
After the blaze was contained, firefighters began tearing down the ceiling, looking for lingering fire pockets. They found the money wrapped in foil inside six envelopes marked with handwritten dates from the 1970s and '80s.
The apartment's tenant said he had no idea who put the money there.
"He told us, 'Boy, there were plenty of times I could have used a few dolls."
CERESCO, Neb. — A World War II veteran thought he may have earned a Good Conduct Medal. He was right, but that was only the tip of the iceberg.
lars and it was right over my head the whole time." Chaimowitz said.
On Friday, the long-awaited medal came in the mail, along with a Bronze Star, a new Purple Heart and an American Campaign Medal. There was also a World War II Victory medal, a Combat Infantryman Badge, an Expert Infantryman Badge and a World War II Honorable Service lapel button.
richard Allen, 80, missed out on his medal 56 years ago, since he was stateside getting married when Germany surrendered to the Allies. Allen, who already had a Purple Heart, recently mailed his discharge papers to the Army to show that he'd earned a Good Conduct Medal.
In all, 11 medals showed up, he said.
"I was surprised," Allen said. "I didn't expect all this."

Title too bland; Someone Like You pure fun
By Anthony Breznican
Does the title of a movie matter? Can it change the quality of the picture?
Anthony Breznican The Associated Press
Would Cast Away have the same resonance if it were Castaway? Would Dude, Where's My Car? be silly if it were simply Where's My Car?
Let's experiment with the new Ashley Judd film Someone Like You, which previously was titled Animal Hushbandry.
Such joulularity seems slightly discordant in Someone Like You. The audience waits for vanilla romance and gets ribald jokes about copulating cows.
Judd plays an offbeat TV talk-show talent booker who falls for the perfect man (Oscar nominee Greg Kinnear).
Ah, but Kinnear's veneer of handsome compassion is a fraud. After the couple commits to sharing an apartment, he inexplicably jilts Judd, leaving her not only heartbroken, but homeless.
Judd obsesses about the failed romance and, desperate for an apartment, agrees to rent an extra room
Jackman, whose turn as the snarling superhero Wolverine in *X-men* adds a twist to this role, plays your standard womanizer; charming, good-looking and promiscuous.
from the office to meet (Hugh Jackman)
intro
Unable to avoid noticing her new roommate's dating habits, Judd develops a theory about human relationships that is based partly on a news article she reads about...animal husbandry.
The report documents the plight of dairy farmers trying to mate cows. Bulls eagerly couple with a female, but only once. After that, they move on to, say, greener pastures to spread their seed.
The rest of the movie follows Judd as she tries to apply this "old cow" theory to the relationships around her.
There's a subtle poignance to this quest because she needs to believe it's innate in all men to reject their mates eventually.
Someone Like You, is an enjoyable, funny love story, but it deserves a better introduction to moviegoers than the bland, cowardly title allows.

Spanish film Amores Perros shows human nature at its worst
By Christy Lemire
The Associated Press
descriptions.
Amores Perros did not win the foreign language film Oscar on Sunday night. It was never going to. And neither was any other movie competing with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Amores Perros actually has more in common with another four-Oscar winner, Traffic, with its interwoven plots, seedy Mexican settings and grainy, hand-held camera work.
It also feels a lot like 1999's Go by showing the same period of time through the eyes of three sets of characters, with one incident connecting them all. Details that perhaps don't make sense the first time around become clearer with each of the three
So the debut film from Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu isn't exactly new, but it's always clever and devastating in its depiction of human nature.
The title translates into English as Love's a Bitch, but don't be fooled—the film is no romantic comedy. Everyone is incredibly flawed and selfish. Even the character who's seemingly the film's moral conscience, a homeless man, reaches into a mangled car after a bloody crash not to help one of the victims but to steal cash from his pocket.
That cash comes from the most violent and difficult segment to watch—and it's the first one—titled "Octavio and Susana."
Octavio (Gael Garcia Bernal), who lives in the Mexico City slums, enters his brother's dog in fights to make some quick money so
he can run away with his brother's teenage wife, Susana (Vanessa Bauche), who's pregnant with the couple's second child. He ends up in the crash after being chased by a dog fight opponent he has crossed.
Of the three stories, the one that's the most emotionally engaging is "Daniel and Valeria."
Daniel (Alvaro Guerrero) is a magazine editor who has left his wife and two young daughters for supermodel Valeria (Goya Toledo), whose gorgeous face and endless legs grace giant perfume ads throughout Mexico City.
The day Daniel moves in with Valeria, she is broadsided in the crash. A broken leg banishes her to a wheelchair, and she is trapped alone in the condo for days. She loses her modeling contract and her mind, and the passionate affair falls apart.
The final story, "El Chivo and Maru," involves the homeless man (veteran actor Emilio Echevarria) who witnesses the car accident. El Chivo is hired by a yuppie businessman to assassinate his partner. In the process, he realizes all he wants is to reconcile with the daughter he abandoned decades earlier.
In all three story lines of this modern-day fable, written with bite and insight by Guillermo Arriaga, bad people do bad things, and bad things happen to them.
It's Echeverria's moving, subtle performance, though, that gives the film its meaning. He has such presence, and conveys tremendous feeling with the slightest facial gesture.
Too much head is no good.
Amores Perros, a Lions Gate Films release, is in Spanish with English subtitles, rated R for language, violence and gore.

Nelly Furtado spawns musical hodgepodge
By Nekesa Mumbi Moody The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Take a quick glance at the dreamy-looking cover of the album Whoa, Nelly, and you could be mistaken into thinking the striking young woman on the front is another fluffy, teen-non-star wannabe.
The video for Furtado's first single, "I'm Like a Bird," is a fixture on MTV. Recently, she's been tapped to perform dates on U2's current tour, and sang a duet with Elton John at his post-Oscar bash. She has become the industry's current "it" girl.
Nelly Furtado wouldn't mind one bit.
Since the album's release last fall, Whoa, Nelly has garnered raves from critics, won four Juno awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys) and was certified gold. It's an album that defies categorization, mixing alternative music with dance, and Latin rhythms with electronica, with a bit of hip-hop and no thrown in.
"In the beginning I thought it could slide in there and maybe trick people that I fit into the pop world," the effervescent 22-year-old Canadian said with a laugh.
But she acknowledged she didn't do choreography or "flashy stuff."
"So now I'm realizing — because the record's so different — I have to enhance...the eginness of the record and the individuality of the record, because that's what's going to make me stick out," she said.
So she moved back home, enrolled in college to study creative writing, and focused on learning guitar and improving her songwriting skills.
But Eaton persuaded her to return to Toronto, where Furtado, Eaton and his partner Brian West produced a demo that eventually got her signed to DreamWorks records.
ever since she was a little girl," said producer Gerald Eaton, who discovered the singer at an urban showcase a few years ago.
"She wanted to be a pop star
Now that it has been released,
Furtado has been able to live
out her childhood pop-star
fantasy performing on
"Saturday Night Live," going
on tour and having her image
plastered in magazines.
Furtado said her dreams of stardom grew out of her sense of being an outsider, the youngest of three children raised by Portuguese immigrants.
"There were no other Portuguese kids at my elementary school, and I really felt that," she recalled. "I thought, 'Why not stick out even more and do something?'"
When she graduated from high school at 17, Furtado moved to Toronto to pursue a music career, working odd jobs while recording demos, at first as part of a trip hop group called Nelstar, then on her own.
She began to draw interest from record companies, but Furtado wasn't sure she was ready to deal with contracts, lawyers and the business side of being a pop star.

The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Sharply higher electricity rates for millions of Californians mean customers at Tom Creedon's seafood restaurant will be paying more for their Dungeness cracked crab or steamed clams bordelaise.
"When you add another 15 or 20 percent to the electricity bill, it is something we are going to have to pass on to customers," said Creedon, who already has seen the monthly natural gas and electricity bills at his San Francisco restaurant rise by $3,000.
Rising costs of food, entertainment and tourism are part of the expected ripple effect from an electricity rate hike approved Tuesday by state regulators.
The rate increase of up to 46 percent for millions of customers of the state's two biggest utilities comes on top of an average increase of 10 percent in January and a 10 percent rate rollback that will expire next year.
The increases are the latest fallout from California's failed bid at electricity deregulation and are meant to shore up its debt-ridden utilities. Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric say they have lost nearly $13 billion in debt, in part because the state's 1996 deregulation law barred them from passing along rising wholesale electricity costs
so much."
"You do whatever you have to do to make ends meet.I've got seven kids, so you can only cut back

Fresno, Calif., resident
to customers.
Natural gas bills already have more than doubled in many parts of the state, reflecting a nationwide increase in wholesale gas costs.
Business leaders warn they will have to pass those costs to their customers, leading analysts to warn of inflation that could spread beyond the state.
"It is going to be painful," said Jack Kyser, chief economist for the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp.
California's $1.3 trillion economy accounts for 13 percent of the nation's gross domestic product and 16 percent of U.S. consumer demand.
"Remember that trends start in California," Kyser said. "I think this is definitely going to create inflation pressures."
He said the most immediate effect would come from the bot.
tom, with people spending less on eating out, going to the movies and buying at the mall.
Frank Howell, who lives in Fresno with his wife and seven children, paid more than $800 last month for natural gas and electricity for his home, compared with $350 a year ago.
But Howell also owns a small air conditioning installation business, and he is hoping summer demand for his services will offset any need to save.
"You do whatever you have to do to make ends meet," said Howell, a PG&E customer. "I've got seven kids, so you can only cut back so much."
Creedon said fewer regular customers coming to his Fisherman's Wharf restaurant were not his only worry.
His Scoma's Restaurant has become a draw for tourists, who Creedon fears will avoid California because of the rolling blackouts.
"It's the same thing as when we had the earthquake in 1989," said Creedon, referring to the Bay Area earthquake that killed 63 and caused $10 billion in damage. "People thought San Francisco was in shambles."
Small businesses are more at risk, economists said, because energy does not account for much of larger manufacturer's costs.
"Some people are going to wind
up having difficulties, and some people who are on the margin, this will push them over," said economics professor Robert Michaels of California State-Fullerton.
Intense competition in a slowing national economy could prevent some companies from charging higher prices and may force some to lay off employees or move.
"Right now we are examining our options," said Dick Campbell, who runs a plastic molding business in Corona, about 50 miles east of Los Angeles. The 50-person company serves Boeing and Procter & Gamble. Relocation may be the only option.
"My customers can easily go to someone who is not paying 40 percent more for power. That puts us at a distinct disadvantage because that is going to come out of the bottom line, and there is nothing we can do about it," he said.
Although some businesses might decide to move, the California Chamber of Commerce hopes the rate hike will actually help by forcing ratepayers to conserve and thus creating more stable energy supplies.
"Rolling blackouts are not acceptable to Silicon Valley," said Kathy Fairbanks, chamber vice president. "No one wanted to see a price increase, but employers would say that reliability would be more important to keeping their businesses open."
Proposal progressing
House backs Bush's budget blueprint
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Republicans overwhelmed the Democrats and pushed a $1.94 trillion budget for 2002 through the House yesterday, as President Bush's blueprint for tax cuts and curtailed spending cleared its first major congressional hurdle.
The vote was a near party-line 222-205. Though devoid of suspense because of the GOP's thin but unified majority, Republicans hailed their victory as a triumph for their view of government.
year, $1.6 trillion tax cut is too big and his proposed spending restraints too stingy.
"The choice is between two visions," said House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas. "A vision of bigger and bigger government, a choice between larger and larger taxes or a choice of smaller government that trusts the people."
The House roll call, though, was but a warmup for a rougher test next week in the evenly divided Senate. There, the GOP not only faces near-lockstep Democratic opposition, but some moderate Republicans have said Bush's 10-
Even so, Bush said the House action made yesterday "a big day" and said the budget's centerpiece — an across-the-board cut in income tax rates — would help all Americans.
"We need to cut all rates so that there's certainty in our economy when people plan, and I'm confident we can get this done," he said before meeting with GOP congressional leaders.
PETER H. RUBER
Bush: Proposed bud:
get passes House,
Senate awaits
Hoping to claim the economic stimulus argument as their own, House Democrats joined their Senate colleagues and said they wanted a $60 billion tax reduction effective this year. If moved as a separate bill—instead of attached to Bush's big tax cuts, as
Republicans insist—the measure could zip through Congress in a day, Democrats said.
"But they refuse to do it because they have an obsession with a year-old tax plan, like a dog after a bone," House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., said referring to Bush's plan.
Senate Republicans have said they favored a $60 billion tax cut for this year, but have yet to determine all the details. House GOP leaders remain undecided on the size and shape of a package meant to stimulate the economy. A final figure will be set in the final congressional budget, which House-Senate bargainers hope to complete next month.
Besides its tax reduction, the House GOP budget envisions $2.3 trillion in debt reduction during the coming decade, using parts of the Social Security and Medicare surpluses to overhaul both programs, and limiting many programs to 4 percent growth next year. That would be half this year's increase.
Besides drawing Democratic
fire, Bush's fiscal plans have prompted calls from some Republicans for deeper tax cuts and added spending for defense, farms and special education. But participants in yesterday's White House session said while Bush seemed open to changing details of his budget and tax plan, he was sticking to its basic principles, including the $1.6 trillion tax cut.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert,
R-III, described Bush's message to
the lawmakers: "Stay the route.
Get this thing done."
Democrats said the GOP budget would squander the $5.6 trillion federal surplus projected during the next decade, largely to cut taxes for the rich. They said it would shortchange other priorities like schools and new prescription drug coverage, risk a return to budget deficits, and do nothing to buttress Social Security and Medicare for the retirement of baby boomers.
Republicans said their plan was a sound use of federal resources and would lay the groundwork for overdue tax cuts.
Mexican rebels proclaim start of political struggle
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — Leaving behind their jungle hideouts and guns — and their controversial leader — 23 skil-masked Zapatista rebels strode yesterday onto the floor of Congress and proclaimed the beginning of a political struggle.
Rebel leader Comandante Esther said the absence of Subcomandante Marcos, the rebels' military leader and media star, was intentional: the rebels' military mission had ended, she said.
"Our warriors have done their job. Now it is our time for respect." Esther told hundreds of legislators. "The person speaking to you is not the military leader of a rebel army, but the political leadership of a legitimate movement."
For the first time, the Zapatistas
acknowledged the peace overtures made by President Vicente Fox, who had bent backward to meet to their demands.
"His orders have been a sign of peace.
She said they had ordered Subcomandante Marcos not to make any military advances on army bases Fox has ordered closed in Chiapas. The closures were part of a list of rebel demands for restarting peace talks.
The argument about letting the rebels take the floor created a bitter division within Mexico's newly independent Congress — and within the National Action Party. Its members claimed the rebel's past rhetoric suggested they had come to lecture, not engage in a dialogue.
With National Action blocking a full joint session of Congress, the rebel leaders took...
"Our warriors have done their job. Now is our time for respect."
Comandante Esther
Zapatista Rebel Leader
Esther continued to suggest the rebels still had a military capacity, something experts doubt.
become a trademark of their movement, anger many lawmakers who say the rebels should show their faces.
We, too, will give orders of peace to our people," Esther said.
"It is symbolic that I, a poor Indian woman and a Zapatista, am here today." Esther said.
She and a string of rebel commanders described 500 years of repression against Indians and argued for approval of a rights bill now before Congress.
That campaign has been so successful, and the rebels so unyielding, that some legislators accused them of trying to bully congress.
While no longer a military threat, the rebels have mounted a successful media campaign to demand Mexico rethink its treatment of its 10 million Indians.
"Our word is one of respect," said Esther, who like other rebel leaders uses only her first name. "We came to have a dialogue...not to shove anyone aside."
But she went on to attack Fox's National Action Party, which opposed their appearance in Congress. Many of the party's members didn't show up for the session.
About 100 of the 628 senators and congressmen were present, and they gave the rebels a rousing applause. Congressional workers said more legislators were expected to join the hours-long session later.
The rebel leaders all wore black ski masks under beribboned Indian hats and military field caps. The masks, which have
technically addressed a committee meeting in the main chamber of Congress. The absence of Marcos — whose biting rhetoric had angered some congressmen —
indicated a more conciliatory tone on the part of the rebels.
"Subcomandante Marcos is just that, a subcommander. We are the ones who lead, as a group," Esther said, referring to the other Indian rebels. Marcos is not an Indian, though he claims elders have given him that status.
Rarely if ever has a guerrilla movement gained so much while posing such a small military threat. Actual fighting lasted only 12 days seven years ago. More than 145 people died before a cease-fire took hold.
But since taking office Dec. 1, ending 71 years of single-party rule, Fox has reversed the former ruling party's policy of isolating the rebels deep in Chiapas state. Fox has agreed to meet all of their demands, but the Zapatistas have refused to meet with him.
At issue is constitutional amendments that would allow Indians to govern themselves at the local level, promote their own languages, customs and justice systems, and grant them greater land rights.
Critics worry the law could allow traditional Indian councils of elders to discriminate against women, political or religious minorities, or to take control of nature reserves for farming.
The rebels have been loath to accept any changes in the bill, and accused congressmen of being "racists" and "cavemen."

Robinson changes closing hours
By Amanda Beglin
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
KU students who flee to the gym for late-night workouts will have to rearrange their schedules — Robinson Center will close at 10:30 p.m. for the remainder of the semester, an hour and a half before its normal midnight closing time.
But that has happened every year for the last decade, said Bob Lockwood, facility director of recreation facilities management.
The gymnasium stayed open
every day until midnight to accommodate students during basketball season, Lockwood said.
"There's a big demand to have courts open at night for people to play." Lockwood said. "Now that basketball season is over and there are more options for things to do, especially outside, we just don't need to keep it open."
Nevertheless, some students are sweating the time change, including James Coltrain, Wichita senior.
"I go down there all the time after 10:30." Coltrain said.
"There's not as many people there, more courts are open and I don't have to wait to lift weights. I just think it's ridiculous that we've got such a poor facility as it is, and they don't even keep it open."
Andrew Schurle, Manhattan freshman, said he was aggravated by the earlier closing time but was glad to find out before he trekked to a closed gymnasium.
"I don't like this," Schurle said. "It's inhibiting my physical fitness."
But Amber Benham, Great Bend sophomore, said she was
more annoyed than aggravated.
"That sucks. I don't get off work until pretty late, so the only time I could out was after 10." Benham said.
Britt DeTienne, Wichita freshman, echoed Benham's comments — also irritated by the hour and a half of exercise he no longer had.
"It definitely decreases availability for students."
DeTienne said. "I used to go at 10:30 or 11 after work."
For the students who enjoy a late-night workout after long study sessions, like Jacob
Williams, Topea freshman,
the workout will have to wait.
"A lot of people have late classes or they study late, and I know I study later than 10:30." Williams said. "So I don't know when I'm going to go down there."
Lockwood said the center would revert to normal open gym hours of 6:30 p.m. to midnight in the fall. Summer hours will be Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Candidates speak out as election nears
By Erin Adamson

Kansas staff writer
City Commission candidates answered questions about their visions for the future of development in Lawrence last night at the Lawrence Public Library.
Candidates Scott Bailey, David Dunfield, Adam Mansfield, Marty Kennedy and Erv Hodges spoke before about 30 Lawrence residents for the last time before Tuesday's city elections. Candidate Sue Hack was unable to attend.
Preserving the older, central neighborhoods and dealing with changing residential patterns have been at the forefront of the campaign.
Kennedy said that older neighborhoods had been changed by
an aging population and by an influx of many renters. He said the ordinance to reduce the number of unrelated people living in neighborhoods zoned for single families would encourage families with children to move back into those neighborhoods.
Mansfield opposed the housing ordinance and said the older neighborhoods lacked services that newer nsighborhoods provided.
Audience members asked the candidates if the members of the Planning Commission were a reflection of the community. The Planning Commission is a group of city and county residents appointed by the mayor to
"It costs the city more with hiring inspectors and enforcing the licensing ordinance," Mansfield said.
make planning and development recommendations to the city.
Hodges and Kennedy said they thought the Planning Commission had done a good job in making growth decisions. Dunfield said the Planning Commission didn't represent balanced interests.
"Many people on commission have a direct interest in development." Dunfield said.
Bailey said that the Planning Commission should follow the planning guidelines in Horizon 2020 more closely than they had. Horizon 2020 is a planning document created as a guideline for responsible, long-term growth in Lawrence.
Polls for Tuesday's election will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Fraternity not charged in alcohol-related car accident
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house will not face penalties for the events of Sept. 16 that preceded a fatal accident on Kansas Highway 10, said Danny Kaiser, director of Organizations and Leadership.
The Alcohol Beverage Control will look at additional evidence before deciding whether the Wheel will face penalties, said Scott Holeman, communications director for the Kansas Department of Revenue.
Sean Scott, a Shawnee 16-year-old, drank alcohol at both places that night before his car crossed the median and struck another car, killing its driver, 39-year-old Lawrence resident Felicia Bland, according to a March 1 court hearing. His blood-alcohol content was .15, almost twice the adult legal limit and almost eight times the limit for minors.
Scott was sentenced March 15 to two- and-a-half years in a youth correctional facility followed by two years of aftercare, a program which requires community programs such as the Teen Advisory Council and the Wrong of Passage program.
Holeman said the ABC was not closing the door on any action.
Holeman said he thought that the ABC would have to look closer at the evidence.
At his sentencing March 15, Scott told the judge that he had drunk at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house but not at the Wheel.
"We're just waiting to see if there's additional evidence in the case." Holeman said. "However, in final testimony the defendant said he did not drink at the Wheel."
However, two weeks before at a hearing, Scott's attorney, Tom Bath, told the court that Scott was accompanied by his brother and members of his brother's fraternity to the Wheel, where he joined his mother and stepfather and was allowed to consume alcoholic beverages, according to court transcripts.
At approximately 6:45 p.m., Bath said, Scott left and went to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house. His brother left for Kansas City, leaving Scott with other fraternity members who provided alcohol to Scott, encouraged him to drink and ridiculed him when he did not. He then drank a number of shots of rum, got in his car and traveled toward Kansas City, Bath said.
At the University, Kaiser said the fraternity had not violated any University policies based on the University's own investigation. He said fraternities and sororities were not on University property, and he could find no other violations.
"The fraternity did not provide any alcohol, and there was not a fraternity social event," Kaiser said. "It's comparable to as if this had happened at an apartment."
Kaiser said the University would always accept new information in its investigation.
"It's complete to the extent that I don't know where to look any more," Kaiser said. "If somebody points us in a different direction, we may look again."
Kaiser said he had heard that fraternity members had pressured Scott to drink but could not corroborate or dispute that information in the investigation. He said the University did not always have access to a police investigation, and he did not have a copy of the report.
"In the early stages we got preliminary information, but they stopped giving us information and we were left on our own." he said.
Kaiser said it appeared that Scott's brother and one of his brother's friends provided him with the alcohol. He said it happened to occur on fraternity property but it was the limited actions of individuals — not the corporate action of an organization.
Richard Ramos, Bland's brother, said he was disappointed that the issue had become so muddled.
"It's pretty disheartening that people can't just be honest for things," he said. "Somebody is not coming clean."

Residence hall women report harassing calls
An unknown man reportedly harassed six residents of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall by phone Wednesday night and early yesterday the KU Public Safety Office said.
The caller claimed to be a member of a sex club and wanted to survey the girls, according to the police report. One of the women, a 19-year-old KU student, said the caller wanted the girls to initiate him into the sex club.
"He was telling us about different things he could do," she said. "He was talking about masturbating in front of me and my friends."
She said all but one of the girls hung up on the man when his comments became lewd — the other asked him a few questions in an attempt to identify him.
"At first we thought it was one of the girls' boyfriends just messing around," she said. "But what he was saying was gross, and he sounded older, so we knew he wasn't."
She said one of the women received a call from the same man Wednesday
night, but she hung up on him. The women, who all have sequential phone numbers, contacted the Public Safety Office afterward to have the incident documented.

The Public Safety Office offered to have the women's phones tapped if any further incidents occurred, she said.
Student receives probation for producing fake IDs
John Jay Pickard Jr., Overland Park junior, was sentenced to six months probation yesterday in Douglas County District Court.
Pickard had pleaded guilty earlier this year to five misdemeanor counts of unlawful use of a drivers license. He had been arrested for producing fake drivers licenses at Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house two years ago. An officer confiscated a fake ID from an underage drinker at the Jayhawk Cafe and traced the ID to Pickard
Judge Michael J. Malone said that under the terms of his probation, Pickard must complete 50 hours of commuqy service, abstain from alcohol and must not enter any establishment that makes most of its money from the sale of alcohol.

Senate tentatively approves health care coverage bill
TOPEKA — The House gave tentative approval to legislation requiring insurance companies to offer plans providing equal coverage for treatment of mental and physical illnesses.
The measure would let employers decide whether to offer the equal coverage and let individuals choose whether they want it.
The proposal came yesterday as an amendment to a bill dealing with women's health. The House voted 83-38 to amend the bill, then gave the entire bill first-round approval on a voice vote. Final action is expected today.
The women's health bill would allow one visit a year to an obstetrician or gynecologist without a referral from a primary care provider. For insurance to cover such visits under current law, a women often needs a referral from another doctor.
Some Democrats opposed the amendment, saying they wanted to keep mental health and women's health issues separate. They also criticized the proposal as not going far enough to address the inequality between the coverage of care for physical and mental illnesses.
Symposium honors women's success
By Emily Callaghan Special to the Kansan
The School of Law recognized the success of women as professionals, students and academics in the legal field at a symposium yesterday.
During the past 25 years, women have entered the field in substantial numbers, said Sid Shapiro, distinguished professor of law. The New York Times reported Monday that women were now close to constituting the majority of law students in the United States.
Four women spoke about the obstacles they had overcome and the need for further gender equality. The pictures that hung on the walls surrounding the speakers supported the stories that they told. They pictured the graduating classes of the 1940s
and '50s, which included only a handful of women.
Cynthia Fuchs Epstein, a professor at the City University of New York, said that former President Bill Clinton had appointed more women in his term than all of the past presidents combined. Gender equality has received more attention, and in response, women's equality has improved, she said.
Harvard, one of the top law schools today, did not begin admitting women until 1950. Epstein discussed her experience in law school when all of the professors were male and excuses were created to avoid admitting female students.
"The books were too heavy, and there were not enough women's restrooms to accommodate them," she said, explaining the former rationale at law schools.
She said she was happy to see women who were now graduating and entering into an equal recruitment playing field.
"Some women are struggling against the glass ceiling," Clanton said. "Women of color are still navigating the sticky floor."
Attorney Karen Clanton presented an essay on minority women, who make up 10 percent of people working in the law profession. Only dentists and natural scientists report lower numbers of minority women, she said.
Nancy Levit, professor at the University of Missouri, said she thought gender separation would continue to be a problem. She said she recognized that women had more choices, but also argued that "choices occur within constraints."

Program's numbers jump despite lack of money
By Kate McCarty Special to the Kansan
Those large blue recycling bins are really paying off, said Victoria Silva, program manager of the Office of Resource Conservation and Recycling.
Public education and more participation caused campus recycling to increase during the past two years, Silva said. Magazine recycling saw the biggest jump, increasing 624 percent from 1999 to 2000. Cardboard recycling increased 503 percent, while white paper increased 232.5 percent and newsprint collection jumped 156 percent, the office said.
Campus recycling has been expanding slowly and incrementally, Silva said.
"The more people become aware of what we're doing, the more people come on board," Silva said.
When the University's recycling program started in 1996, Silva ran it by herself with no funding. University funding and support from Student Senate helped the program expand. It now employs eight students and was able to purchase a 1.5 ton truck with money from the Coca-Cola Corporation.
There are 50 multi-use recycling centers in 30 buildings.
Silva said that makes them easily accessible from almost any point on campus.
The crew also picks up recyclable items from other buildings. The most recent expansion added Stouffer Place housing to the pick-up route.
Besides paper, cardboard, newsprint, plastic, magazines and aluminum, the office also finds ways to reuse old furniture, office equipment and obsolete computers. Silva estimated that 10 to 15 tons were collected last year, and much of that was donated to non-
profitorganizations.
Much of the new growth is generated by involvement from people who were not aware of recycling opportunities on campus until recently, Silva said.
"We've let it become common knowledge that we'll help offices do a cleanout." Silva said. "We'll loan them bins and come pick them up."
Joy Grisafe, Lawrence sophomore, said she was happy that recycling was so available on campus.
"They don't recycle where I live, so this is the only convenient place for me to do it," she said. "If there wasn't a bin outside my classroom, I would probably toss everything in the trash."
Silva said that states with strong recycling mandates had universities with strong recycling programs. Kansas does not have any mandates, so although she said the
University had come a long way, it was far from catching up to the other schools.
She said she was looking into coordinating more staff and collection spots, but a lack of storage space and funding made those expansions difficult.
"I take everything to the Wal-Mart recycling center because it's just easier to take it straight from my car to the bins," Titus said. "It's kind of a pain to drag everything on campus."
Gillian Titus, Olathe senior, said she would like to see more recycling locations on the outskirts of campus.
Despite the promising increase that campus recycling has shown, Silva said there were still restrictions on the program's potential.
"We need to be careful," she said. "We're limited in terms of space and how much we can grow."

Battery, fights can lead to jail for partygoers
Continued from page 1A
Patrick explained how police could apply statutes to different situations based on a law enforcement handbook called Pattern Instructions for Kansas.
A woman could file a report with the police if she thought she was touched inappropriately, but in order for that the sexual battery charge to be proven in court, the person must have touched her intentionally without her consent and "with the intent to arouse or to satisfy the sexual desires of the defendant or another." Patrick said.
If someone threw an object at someone else but missed, it could be considered assault, Patrick said. But he said police could not make an arrest unless the victim believed he was really in danger.
"For prosecution, we have to prove the person was in fear." Patrick said.
For a misdemeanor charge such as sexual battery, sentencing might be as much as a $2,500 fine and one year in jail. For a felony charge, such as aggrivated sexual battery, an offender with no criminal history could face 31 to 34 months in jail. Sexual battery is considered "aggrivated" is if the victim is overcome by force or fear, under the influence of alcohol or a drug, unconscious, physically powerless or mentally deficient.
File said she did not worry about her safety at a party unless the party was "sketchy." But she normally attends parties with people whom she or her friends knew, and those parties seem safe, she said.
New parking body up for vote
But she said students did not think ahead to what the consequences could be after one night of partying.
"You never know if you accidentally bump into the wrong person what could happen," File said. "I don't think students think ahead. I know I don't."
Proposal to add more members
— Edited by Joshua Richards
By Cássio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
University Council yesterday unanimously passed amendments to the University Senate Code that would eliminate the existing Parking Board and create a Parking Commission to decide parking issues.
The new parking system would link the Parking Department directly to the Parking Commission, eliminating the council's jurisdiction on parking issues and also the possibility of direct negotiation between the University administration and Don Kearns, director of parking services.
The commission would include 14 voting members and six ex-officio members without voting privileges, and it would meet three times every semester.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking services, said it was positive to have more people directly involved with parking decisions.
She said that the commission would allow more views
from different parts of campus to be considered in campus parking decisions.
"We're excited about this," Hultine said.
The new commission would forward its recommendations to Provost David Shulenburger, who would then forward them to Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
The voting members would include four faculty members, including one professor emeritus, three classified staff members and three unclassified staff members.
Under the current legislation, Kearns reports to the Parking Board, which is composed by three faculty members, three student senators, two classified staff and two unclassified staff.
Kearns said he liked the idea of the commission, but said that appointing faculty members for three year terms wasn't adequate.
Kearns said that three years was a short period for faculty members to become familiar with the intricacies of parking issues, and recommended that they be appointed for longer terms.
Holly Krebs, student member of the Ad Hoc Committee on Parking Governance, which suggested the amend-
"People need to feel they are empowered to influence decisions about parking."
Holly Krebs
student member of the Ad Hoc Committee on Parking Governance
ments, said parking was a very emotional issue that demanded an inclusive process, like the one designed for the new commission.
"People need to feel they are empowered to influence decisions about parking," she said.
The University Senate Executive Committee and University Council, which currently have decision-making power on parking issues, would only be informed of the new commission's decisions, but wouldn't have the power to approve or reject them.
Tom Mulinazzi, associate dean of engineering and ad hoc committee member, said members of the Parking Board have felt frustrated
over the years because their recommendations often were changed by the council.
Mulinazzi said this made the recruitment of good board members difficult because prospective members wouldn't like to see the result of their work being drastically changed or rejected during the council's meetings.
The University Senate will decide Thursday, April 12 whether to forward the proposed change to the chancellor.

It was only a 48-hour visit, but a KU lecturer believes former President Bill Clinton's short stay in Nigeria near the end of his term did more for that country than all previous administrations combined.
"As a Nigerian, and as a person who was in Nigeria during the visit, Clinton's visit prevented a catastrophic situation where Nigeria's democracy would have been history," said Aminu Gusau, instructor of Hausa.
Gusau spoke to a group of 30 people yesterday afternoon in the Kansas Union as part of the African Studies Spring Seminar. He addressed the question, "Did President Clinton's last visit to Nigeria, and his talk to Parliament, make any difference?"
Gusau said that before Clinton came to Nigeria and met with its political leaders, the tension between the country's president and the legislature was extremely tense. Furthermore, the country's economic condition "was unbearable by the people," he said.
"He succeeded in telling Nigerians the importance of uniting together as Nigerians and working together to lift up not only Nigeria, but the entire continent of Africa," he said.
But after Clinton spoke to Congress, the entire population received a moral boost, Gusau said.
"On a moral level, Clinton's visit achieved for Nigeria what billions of dollars spent on image laundering by past administrations could not." he said.
On a practical level, Gusau outlined a few of the many economic benefits Clinton was able to achieve in such a short time.
First, the former president raised the United States' financial assistance to Nigeria from $7 million to $109 million annually. He also added Nigeria to the list of developing countries that receives duty-free export to America, which helped expand its export base beyond oil.
Gusau also addressed the prospects of the new administration under President George W. Bush and its stance on Nigeria. He said it was too early to rush into judgment, but he remains positive about the future.
"It is my strong belief that President Bush would not make the mistake to reverse or repeal major bilateral agreements signed between Nigeria and the U.S. during Clinton's visit." Gusau said.
Emmanuel Nnadozie, professor of economics at Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., provided commentary for Gusau's presentation.
"He said it all and said it well," Nnadozie said.
Nnadozie said while he agreed that Clinton's visit to Nigeria was symbolically as well as economically beneficial, he's a little more cautiously optimistic about the future than Gusau.
The seminar was sponsored by the African Studies Resource Center.

When in Paris try Pierre's rolls and spear guns
Defying the expectations of decent, respectable people, Mr. College
Answer Person has penned another heaping helping of his advice for the Kansan. Beware.
If you're interested in submitting questions to Mr. College Answer Person, he can be emailed at
mrcollegeanswerperson@hotmail.com. You may see your question in print or online.
Really
I read an article today about a lesbian in Paris who tried to shoot her lover in front of her Arabic class with a spear gun. My
- Perplexed
question is, where would she get the spear gun at?
Mr. College Answer Person himself was a caloy youth in those days of yore, and a feverish blood lust (not to mention an appetite for sugar glazed croissants that bordered on the obsessive) coursed through his veins — making Pierre and his shoppe a favored destination.
Dear Perplexed: You've obviously never heard of Pierre's Bake Shoppe and Spear Gun Emporium, located in the heart of Paris. Many were the days Mr. College Answer Person dropped by Pierre LaCrombei's shoppe of shops to buy a dozen crusty rolls and an up-to-date "Spike uum 5000."
The rolls were unforget-
Clay McCuistion columnist oinion@ansan.com
The frogs were unnurgest table, baked in fragrant butter and delicious with the wholesome fruit jams Pierre sold for a few francs. The "Spike um 5000" delivered smooth and gliding launch action, together with the most effective spear sharpener Mr. College Answer Person ever had used. Together, the combination was one of sheer, uninitiated ecstasy.
Pierre himself was a character, the illegitimate child of a short-lived affair between Charles DeGaule and Julia Child, ready at the slightest provocation to either prepare the tastiest muffins ever to grace a human tongue or fire off a dozen sharp-tipped iron blades from his personally modified "Splatter Mark II."
Your author is older now, and though he has revisited Pierre from time to time, drinking glass upon glass of sweet red wine and reminiscing about the accuracy of the "Gutbuster 1240," he no longer keeps up with spear guns or pastries.
No.
In the Feb. 21 Free For All, someone asked: "How can the Kansan run something as blatantly lifted from Dave Barry as Mr. College Answer Person?" Well — how can it?
Should I get contacts?
Ah, the sweet hedonism of youth!
Mr. College Answer Person has never heard of this "Dave Barry" person and considers it very impolite of this ruffian to question his sterling advice.
Nevertheless, the question wasn't directed to Mr. College Answer Person, but to the Kansan itself. Bearing that in mind, to the College Answer Person directed this nameless schmoe's query to the Kansan's Lawyer in Charge of Dealing with Stupid Anonymous Questions, J. Pierce Foxmaster IV.
Mr. Foxmaster e-mailed the following response:
"Although there are indeed some similarities between Dave Barry's work and the writing of Mr. College Answer Person, one must consider a couple of points.
"First, Mr. College Answer Person is donating his to the 'Kansan' and its Web site. Cutting off this method of publication would perhaps lead to the return of his long-dormant homicidal tendencies. No one would want that. Second, Dave Barry actually has talent."
Although Mr. College Answer Person takes offense at the tone of Mr. Foxmaster's words, he will let them sit for now. Just don't mess with Mr. College Answer Person. He's kept a couple of spear guns from the Paris days.
Was that a threat directed toward a student? I can't believe you'd sink so low!
Of course not. Mr. College Answer Person was merely wondering if the person who asked that annoying question would want to go out hunting rabbits someday. He respects students who voice their opinions — even if the opinions are stupid.

Editorial Selling AIDS drugs at cost saves lives
Some U.S. drug companies are helping to prolong the lives of afflicted Africans.
U. S. drugmakers are finally working to correct a crisis they ignored for too long — the AIDS epidemic in Africa.
Dolan is a Lawrence junior in film studies.
Pressured by cheap knock-off drugs from companies in nations such as India and Brazil, many major AIDS drug manufacturers have sharply reduced prices for their drugs in Africa.
U. S. companies such as Abbott Laboratories, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck & Co. have recently pledged to sell their drugs at cost, generally meaning less than $1,000 a year instead of the more than $10,000 a year that some cost now.
In a continent where 8.9 percent of the adult population has HIV and many people make less than $1,000 a year, slashing thousands of dollars off the prices of AIDS drugs could potentially save millions of lives.
That's a great step in the fight against AIDS, but it is sad that it was competition, not human tragedy, that eventually forced these companies to respond. It is sadder still that some companies, including Pfizer and Roche Holding Ltd., continue to hold
U. S. companies have argued that selling drugs at cost deprives them of the money necessary to research new drugs. Normally, that argument would have merit. But the AIDS epidemic in Africa is so large
— with more than 25 million infected — and so deadly — with more than 17 million dead already
— that it deserves special consideration.
These drugs alone won't cure Africans' problems. By African standards, they're still expensive, and many African governments have refused to deal with the epidemic or set up distribution systems for the drugs. And nothing but a vaccine will eliminate the crisis.
But making these drugs affordable will save lives. For far too long, U.S. drug companies have turned a deaf ear toward Africa, preferring to preserve their profit margins. Now, that is changing. In a battle between money and human life, life is finally starting to win.

Union helps GTAs in negotiations
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Contract negotiations are under way between the Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition and the University of Kansas as the two groups try to hammer out a new contract for graduate teaching assistants.
The discussions, which began in September, have yet to produce a second contract for the coalition. While the negotiation teams have met monthly to iron out the deal, the coalition has not been able to bring a contract to its members. The coalition is waiting to hear the University's newest proposal. While still in negotiations, both sides are prohibited from talking about the deal, said Amy Cummins, president of the coalition.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said that she didn't know when contract discussions would be resolved but that negotiations were still taking place.
"We are involved in contract negotiations, and it is not appropriate to comment right now," Bretz said.
The coalition, which formed in 1991 and became an official union in 1995, created the 11th graduate employees union in the nation. Cummins said the unionization of graduate groups was the biggest labor movement of the 1990s.
The newly formed KU coalition signed its first contract with the University in 1997. The initial agreement guaranteed tuition waivers for GTAs that had not been previously established. It also gained pay increases when the faculty received raises, along with health care subsidies from the University.
"Once we started the union, life got better." Cummins said.
Cummins said she received a tuition reimbursement in the form of a three-hour fee waiver that paid for half of her student fees. In return
for the waiver, Cummins, a doctoral student in English, teaches two courses a semester.
In its efforts for a new contract, the coalition has received help from other on-campus organizations. Delta Force has come into support of the union because of the coalition's support at the polls, said Justin Mills, Delta Force presidential candidate.
"They have always supported us. When it's their time of need, we felt we should support them," Mills said. "It's to the best benefit of KU students to have good GTAs. Sometimes we don't get the best GTAs because we don't have the best benefits."
Jessica Bankston, VOICE presidential candidate, echoed Mills support of the coalition. She said while the union was relatively new, it could make an important difference for graduate assistants in the next few years. Other, older unions, such as the one at Iowa State, have helped
GTAs receive better pay and benefits. Bankston said it was important for undergraduates to support the union.
"I think it's a good sign that so many undergraduates are interested in GTAC negotiations," Bankston said. "Our education is enhanced by the quality graduate students KU recruits."
Boss Sossell, Topeka graduate student, is not a coalition member, but the journalism GTA said the University's pay and hours presented difficulties. Limited to 20 hours a week, Bossell said he must work two or three jobs to cover his living expenses. He must work around his teaching schedule and classes, and the odd hours he works often do not provide the best income.
"The rent or utilities or the bills or the gas or the insurance do not go away," Bossell said. "It just means you have to go somewhere else to earn it."

Proposed bill would honor Shyra McGee
Bv Brooke Hesler

Kansan staff worker
It's about time Student Senate honored the late Shyra McGee, a former student senator, said Tracy Chiles, Nunemaker senator.
"She was a phenomenal woman," said Chiles, Shawnei junior.
said Chiles, Shawnee junior.
Chiles is a co-sponsor of a resolution that would honor McGee. Senate Committees approved the resolution on Wednesday, and it will go before the entire Senate for a final vote next week. It is expected to pass.
McGee was a senior when she died
as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident in February.
McGee was a nontraditional senator last year, a resident assistant at Stouffler Place Apartments, one of the founders of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority and the National Council of Negro Women.
Chiles served as a senator with McGee and described her as a senator who always had the concerns of her constituents at heart.
"She always stood up for minorities and nontraditional students," Chiles said. "She argued very passionately about how those voices had to be heard."
If the resolution passes, Senate will purchase a plaque that will honor McGee. Initially, the plaque was to hang in the Senate office, but some senators felt it should placed in the Kansas Union where everyone could see it.
Chiles said she came up with the idea of writing a resolution after she attended McGee's funeral. Chiles said McGee's life was analogous to a pebble thrown into a puddle of water.
"It just ripples out," Chiles said. "that he's unwrapped it touched."
How many people she instructed Ann Curry, Lawrence graduate student, was a friend of McGee. She said she supported the idea of the resolution and plaque, but McGee, because of her mod-
estv. might see it another wav.
"She would say, 'Oh don't make a big deal over me.' Curry said. "She would want the work that went into the bill to go to benefit people in the community." Curry said McGee had taken her posi-
Curry said McGee had taken her position as a student senator very seriously.
"She made sure things were done right," Curry said. "She was very impassioned, and she always spoke up."
Chiles said she still missed McGee and something that saddened her was that McGee would have accomplished a lot in life if she had lived longer.
"That girl would have moved mountains," she said.

Kansas, Duke, UCLA to play in Maui tourney
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Kansas, Duke and UCLA will be the main names in the 2001 Maul Invitational, which Chaminade plays host to. Together with Chaminade, they will be joined in the eight-team, three-day event by two NIT Tournament teams in Seton Hall and South Carolina, as well as Ball State and Houston.
Held Nov. 19-21 at the 2,400-seat Lahaina Civic Center on the Hawaiian Island of Maui, the tournament's 18th edition will again feature six games live on ESPN or ESPN2. Pairings will be announced later this summer with the possibility of more games being offered on ESPN Plus.
NCAA BASKETBALL UNLV hires Spoonhour after Pitino rejects offer
LAS VEGAS — Charlie Spoonhour is no Rick Pitino, and that's just fine with him. But it's unclear if it will be fine with UNLV foes, too.
Rejected by Pitino, UNLV turned to the 61-year-old Spoonhour yesterday to become the third coach of the Runnin'
WMLV
Rebels within the last four months.
Shortly after,
Spoonhour was given a three-year contract to try and lead the
Once vaunted UNLV program out of the depths of recent mediocority, he was answering questions about how fans will accept him following UNLV's failed pursuit of Pitino.
"I don't know why anyone would worry about something they've never had," Spoonhour said. "There's probably a lot of people who would rather see Coach Pitino here than me. But he can't be everywhere."
Spoonhuron, who took Saint Louis University to three NCAA tournament appearances in seven years, was lured out of retirement with a contract that will
pay him about $400,000 a year — about a fourth of what was being offered Pitino to come to the desert.
It didn't take long to convince Spoonhour about the job, considering he is a frequent visitor to Las Vegas and had planned to retire there anyway.
"If I didn't feel like this is a special place, I wouldn't be standing here," Spoonhou said. "I like this place, I mean it, I really genuinely like Las Vegas."
Spoonhour, who retired in 1999 after a 15-16 season at Saint Louis, has been doing some regional television commentary since leaving coaching. He said he hadn't planned to return, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to coach at UNLV.
Spoonhour said the success UNLV had had in the past played a part in his decision, as did the fact the school had some good players returning even though it lost six seniors.
"I'm here because it is the best possible world," he said. "Is it going to happen? It isn't going to take a decade, either. It's been done here before, and it will be done here again."
Spoonhour takes over from Max Good, who was given the coaching job in December when Bill Bayno was fired after UNLV was placed on four years' probation for violations stemming from the recruiting of Lamar Odom.
Good guided the Rebels to a winning season, but when the pursuit of Pitino became public, it quickly became apparent that he was not going to be seriously considered for the job.
MADISON, Wis. — Bo Ryan was Plan B for the Wisconsin coaching job after Utah's Rick Majerus turned it down.

"I don't know if I was my wife's first choice, either," Ryan said. "But we've had a great marriage."

Ryan, who won four NCAA Division III national championships in 1.5 years at Wisconsin-Platteville before moving to Milwaukee two years ago, takes over a team that has reached the NCAA tournament four times in the last five years and went to the Final Four under Dick Bennett a year ago.
The 53-year-old Ryan replaces Brad Soderberg, who wasn't retained after going 16-10 after Bennett retired in November. The Badgers lost in the first rounds of the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments this season.
Athletic director Pat Richter said Ryan was a better man for the job than Soderberg, 38, largely because of experience and also because he had more name recognition in college basketball, which should help recruiting.
ryan said he would keep assistant coach Tony Bennett, Dick's son, and hoped to bring his top assistant, Rob Jeter, from the Panthers. Jeter, however, might be a candidate to replace Ryan at Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
First-time head coach takes position at Ohio
ATHENS, Ohio — Tim O'Shea, who's never been a college head coach, was hired by Ohio yesterday and charged with ending the school's six-year postseason hiatus.
O'Shea, an assistant at Boston College the past four seasons, agreed to seven-year contract with a base salary $150,000 and other incentives that would make the deal worth $250,000 a year.
He played on Boston College teams in the early 1980s that won two Big East titles, advanced twice to the NCAA tournament's round of 16 and once to the regional finals.
The 39-year-old O'Shea replaces Larry Hunter, who was fired this month after going 204-148 in 12 seasons at Ohio. The Bobcats were 19-11 this season, but again missed out on both the NCAA and NIT tournaments.
"Just about everybody I spoke to that has had contact with him said he was one of those unique coaches who has an almost uncanny knack to detect great talent and then develop it," Ohio athletic director Tom Boeh said of O'Shea.
Ohio but reconsidered after being offered the seven-year deal — rare for someone with no college head coaching experience. He was an assistant at Rhode Island for nine years and at Yale for two before working at Boston College.
BIG 12 WRESTLING
Cowboys coach named Big 12 coach of year
DALLAS Oklahoma State's much decorated head wrestling coach John Smith has added another plaque to his solid collection. He has been chosen as 2000-01 Big 12 Conference Wrestling Coach in a vote by his fellow Big 12 Conference coaches.
O'Shea initially turned down an offer from
Smith just completed his ninth season on the Cowboys' bench and guided Oklahoma State to the Big 12 championship and a third-place finish in the 2001 NCAA Championships. During that span he is 138-20 in dual team matches.
During his tenure at O-State, he has coached seven different Cowboys to 10 individual NCAA Championships. Smith also tied the legendary Edward C. Gallagher (for whom Gallagher-lba Arena is named) for third place on Oklahoma State's all-time victories' list this season.
oSu
1. 38. Smith is just two wins shy of second place, held by Myron Rodenck, on the career wins' chart at Oklahoma State.
The nine-year mentor extended the third longest winning streak in Oklahoma State history to 69 consecutive dual wins in last season before Oklahoma tied the Cowboys 16-16 on Nov. 30, 1999. It was the first time the Cowboys had not won since Feb. 6, 1996. A 73-match unbeaten streak came to a halt at the hands of Minnesota 19-15 on Jan. 9, 2000.
Smith was named head coach at Oklahoma State on Sept. 4, 1992, and became only the seventh head wrestling coach in the university's history. His coaching tenure followed a successful athletic career that included winning two Olympic gold medals, the coveted Sullivan Award and six straight World Championships. He also has been named to the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Smith also coached the 2000 U.S. Olympic freestyle team in Sydney, Australia.
California golf good to Kansas
By John Domoney
Kansan sportswriter
As the Kansas men's golf team heads to Santa Cruz, Calif., to play in the 55th Western Intercollegiate on Monday and Tuesday, the Jayhawks hope their domination in the Golden State continues.
"Now we're a little further into the spring, and we've had a chance to play and practice a little now," said Randall. "They always want to do well out there because I'm from out there, and they're comfortable playing in California."
The Jayhawks fired a 54-hole total score of 899 led by junior Travis Hurst who shot a 213 to place first individually. This was the third year in a row that Kansas had claimed first-place at the Stevinson Ranch Invitational, and it didn't come as a surprise to head coach Ross Randall.
Last year, Kansas rolled to a third-place finish at the Western Intercollegiate, and the team continued its solid play in California with a first-place finish at the Stevinson Ranch Invitational on March 26-27.
Much of the team's recent success can be attributed to the recent performances of Hurst.
After needing a player to step forward and emerge as the team's clutch performer because of the graduation of former All-American Ryan Vermeer, Randall has found his steady player in Hurst.
"He had a good fall, but he struggled a little bit the first couple of tournaments," Randall said. "He had a really strong tournament the last tournament, and I'm really happy for him. Everybody needs to get it going like he is."
The Jayhawks are looking to put it all together for their trip to the Western Intercollegiate played at the Pasatiempo Golf Club.
Kansas will face a major challenge as the tournament is filled with perennial West Coast powers such as No. 35 Stanford and No. 36 Washington.
After last year's tournament, when some of the lowest scores ever at the tournament were recorded, the course officials have decided to toughen up the playing conditions.
"Some of the greens will be severely undulated so that it will be possible to see guys four- and five-putting greens," Randall said.
If a tough course isn't motivation enough for Kansas, then its slip in the rankings might be a concern. After the Jayhawks had been No.19 for several weeks, they've slid to 24th in the Golfwear* Saginari college golf rankings.
"This is when you need to get your game going," Randall said. "When you get into a regular schedule, it's easier to get them better."
A return to California might be just what the team needs to continue its push toward the Big 12 Conference and NCAA championships.
"It is one of Coach's favorite trips, and the guys look for ward to it every spring," said senior Jason DeBuhr.

Rowers hope talent will guide team to victory

in athletics, talent and experience have a love-hate relationship.

A team needs skill to win, but it can't reach the top on raw ability alone. That's where experience comes in. There are plenty of teams that have had an abundance of experience and not amounted to much. There are few challenges in sports greater than succeeding when one of these traits outweighs the other.
Such is the conundrum the Kansas women's rowing team finds itself facing this year with its top varsity boat.
The boat, which consists of seniors Ali Brox, Shannon Gribbin, Heather Muir and Jen Page; juniors Tawnya Bach, Andrea Buch, Stephanie Mahal and Dana Parsons; and freshman Beth Hickey, is loaded with raw potential.
"We have so much in the way of strength and speed and power." Gribbin said. "The potential level for this boat is just unbelievable."
The ever-important experience factor is another matter altogether.
Of the nine rowers, only Muir has previously raced as a member of the top boat. As such, although the season has already started, Muir said that she and her new boatmates are still just getting to know each other.
"We're still developing our chemistry out on the water," she said. "Prior to this week, we'd only rowed together about five practices before we had our first race."
The group's inexperience showed in its inaugural race against Texas on Saturday. Despite jumping out to an early lead, the Jayhawks couldn't maintain it and finished 11 seconds behind the Longhorns' top boat. Hickey said the poor showing against Texas resulted from of a lapse in mental toughness.
"I think it was a problem of our mentality because when they started gaining on us, we treaked a little," she said.
Muir said that getting past that mental hurdle is all that stands in the way of the boat coming together and becoming a dominant force.
"We can do it all physically, it's just that mental side of racing we need to work on." she said. "We just need to get past that, because our boat has so much more potential than any I've ever seen since I've been here."
Tomorrow's regatta offers an opportunity
for the group to showcase that potential and redeem last week's failures.
A good performance against top programs such as Iowa and Massachusetts would also go a long way in putting to rest any questions about their experience.
Gribbin said she has no doubt that the team could win.
"It's a great chance for us to show how good we really are," she said. "When we're out on the water and all together and everything is clicking, there's nobody we can't hang with."

The Kansas women's rowing team has played host to regattas before, traditionally holding duals, which involve just one other team. Never before, however, has the team faced the task of having a regatta the size of this weekend's.
Tomorrow marks the start of the Kansas Invitational, a two-day event that will bring Kansas State, Indiana, Iowa, Tulsa and Massachusetts to Lawrence.
Initially, Catloth had hoped to just invite
Playing host to so many schools and organizing such a big event was never the original intent when coach Rob Catloth set out to plan the Jayhawks' home regatta for this spring.
Massachusetts for a dual. However, when other area teams heard that Massachusetts, a Top Ten program for the last two years, was coming to Lawrence, they asked to be included in the regatta as well.
"There aren't many Midwest crews that have been successful in getting big east coast teams to come out here." Catloth said.
Senior Heather Muir said racing against top-tier rowers such as the Minutewomen and playing host to an event of such grand scale this weekend all the more exciting for the rowers.
"This is so exciting because we're used to racing small races here with us and maybe K-State," she said. "Now we have all these teams coming, and we get the opportunity to race against teams like UMass and Iowa. It's great."
Catloth said, however, that rowing at home can actually hurt a team in some ways more than it helps when a team only does it once in a season.
"When you only have one home race, in many ways, everything on the road is your norm," he said. "Your home race then turns into your odd race and the one you feel uneasy about."
The responsibility of arriving mentally prepared and focused on race day falls on the rowers. Senior Shannon Gribbin said that's tougher at home.
Despite the extra burden racing at home
"Out of town, everything is structured, and you're forced to think rowing because it's all you're around," Gribbin said. "Here, you have to come in on your own ready to race, and I think that will make it a little tougher this weekend."
brings, Catloth said the quality of the competition offered a good opportunity for the team to improve after a last week's regatta, in which the Jayhawks won four of seven races against Texas.
"Hopefully, we can do better all around than last week," he said. "The rest of the season is going to be really tough, and so will this weekend, so we need to have a good showing."
Catloth said he didn't look for the Kansas Invitational to become an annual event, at least not on this year's scale.
"Ihope something this big doesn't become a yearly thing," he said. "There's so much work that goes into preparing for a big race like this that I'll be glad when it's through."

REGATTA
Because of high water, the regatta had to be moved from the original site at the Kansas River to Clinton Lake. The river has been running several alches high this week, which has forced the team to practice at Clinton throughout the week. When conditions hadn't improved by Wednesday afternoon, Catluth and assistant coach Heather Galvin made the decision to move the race to the lake.
"If the current is too fast, it's dangerous to row on, because there could be too much debris that can damage the boat," Galvin said. "Plus when the current gets too fast, you’re not getting an accurate representation of the crew." Parking at Clinton Lake is free this weekend.
Parking at Citizen Lakes is free this weekend.
Fans are encouraged to park at the marina. A shut tie bus will run from the parking area to the dam.

Running back just wants to win
COLORADO 11
Kansas redshirt freshman running back Reggie Duncan is brought down at the goal line after pulling off a long run against Colorado last October. Duncan is the projected No. 1 running back for next season. Photo by Justin Schmidt/KANSAN
By Jeff Denton

Kansas sportwriter
Two Kansas defensive linemen had running back Reggie Duncan cornered at the line of scrimmage, but the redshirt freshman was not going to be stopped.
He spun off the would-be tacklers, cut back right to get past a linebacker, and used his sprinter's speed to separate himself from a converging defensive back.
If the first day of spring practice is any indication of next year's season, the dynamic Duncan could do some damage out of the backfield.
KANSAN.COM/SPORTS
"We think Reggie can be the guy for us," said Kansas coach Terry Allen. "If you talk to strength coach Fred Roll, Reggie probably had the best off-season of any of our players."
Roll is the man behind the scenes for the Jayhawk football team. It's the coaches' responsibility to put the right guys on the field, but it is Roll's job to get the players ready for battle. He said he thinks Duncan is as prepared as anyone.
"I told Reggie last year that you are going to do something to be better than average, and he's done that," Roll said. "Everything he has done has been done with a purpose. He leads by example."

Duncan is a monster in the weight room. According to Roll, Duncan squats 600 pounds and bench presses 400 pounds with ease. He has also made changes in his diet. This has accounted for a significant decrease in his body fat, leaving only 7 percent on his chiseled 5-foot-8, 210-pound frame. Duncan is appreciative of Roll's guidance.
"He knows how to carry the football and is tough to bring down," Salmon said. "He's always been able to make some plays. We'll

Softball team looks to prolong streak
The Kansas softball team will find itself on the road tomorrow fresh from a week-long homestand. And what a hostage it was.
Kansas' homestand included a two-game sweep of the Texas Longhorns last weekend, polishing off Missouri-Kansas City in a two-game sweep on Tuesday and splitting a doubleheader against Arkansas on Wednesday.
The Jayhawks went 5-1 at Jayhawk Field, upping their record to 17-16 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12 Conference.
The Jayhawks' lone loss of the week came in the second game of the twinbill against the Razorbacks.
Arkansas pitcher Heather Schlitchman kept the 'Hawks at bay by scattering four hits in seven innings and registering the 3-0 shutout.
The winning streak put the Jayhawks above the .500 level for the season. Yet, despite the victories, Kansas coach Tracy Bunge
knows there is always room for improvement.
The Jayhawks will get the chance to improve this weekend.
"We are going to have to keep getting better," Bunge said after her team's two victories against Missouri-Kansas City.
The 'Hawks take on No. 20 Texas A&M at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Aggie Softball Complex in College Station, Texas.
Texas A&M features junior first baseman Kelly Ferguson, who leads the team in batting average (.383), hits (65), doubles (14), RBI (32), total bases (62) and is tied for the team lead in home runs (four). The Aggies complement Ferguson with Hollee Hayden, a senior outfielder who is batting
The two teams will finish off the two-game series at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The Aggies, who are coming off a doubleheader split with Texas Tech yesterday in Lubbock, Texas, are 24-9 overall but only 1-3 in the Big 12.
.378, and Crystal Martin and Angie Shetler, who are hitting .357 and .345, respectively.
The Jayhawks counter with senior outfielder Erin Garvey, who is batting .370 with a team-high 37 hits. Junior third baseman Megan Urquhart (.344) and junior second baseman Amy Hulse (.310) are the other Jayhawks batting above .300.
The Jayhawks won't play at home again until April 13, when they face-off with Big 12 rival Baylor at Jayhawk Field.
Kansas softball note
Scattered in that time span are the two games against A&M, a doubleheader matchup with Southwest Missouri State, a twogame series against Texas Tech, a doubleheader against Wichita State and a game against Washburn in Topeka.

Tournament hopes rely on weekend wins

The Kansas baseball team stood at 6-1 on Feb. 18 and headed into the Big 12 Conference season ready to make a strong run at its first-ever appearance in the Big 12 Tournament.

But entering this weekend's series with No. 22 Texas, the Jayhawks (14-15, 2-10) sit in last place in the conference and are in danger of once again missing the Big 12 Tournament. Only the first eight finishers in the Big 12 qualify for the postseason tournament.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said he realizes the Jayhawks will not qualify if they don't start winning games soon.
"Right now, I'd say that we
need to win 10 out of our last 18 games to have a shot at it, and even then we might not get in," Randall said.
With 18 conference games to go, Kansas is chasing Iowa State (2-3), Kansas State (3-9), Missouri (5-7), and Oklahoma (5-7) in the Big 12. If the Jayhawks win 10 of their last 18, they would finish the conference season at 12-18.
When one or two wins could make difference, Kansas just might look back to the first half of the conference schedule in
dismay
Four of Kansas' 10 conference losses have been by just one run, and Randall said those close losses could come back to haunt the Javhawks.
"We lost two games to Oklahoma that we really could have won, and our loss to Missouri really hurt," Randall said. "Something that keeps hurting us is our inability to score runs. I don't know how many times we've stranded runners at second base, but it happens a lot."
He also said the Jayhawks need to show the ability to win games down the stretch.
Sophomore designated hitter Kevin Wheeler said although the one-run losses were costly, the team learned from the games and grew together.
"Hopefully, it'll turn out that those games won't hurt us and that they'll just build character," Wheeler said. "These games are crucial. It's the halfway point of the season, and we still have time to turn it around."
Kansas plays host to perhaps the hottest team in the Big 12 this weekend. Texas (21-12, 9-3) enters the weekend strong, following a three-game sweep of Oklahoma.
The Longhorns also have history on their side as they've defeated the Jayhawks 10 out of the last 11 games.
Randall said the Jayhawks would again see one of the best one-two pitching combinations in the country in Texas' Gerrit Simpson and Albert Montes.
"Their two top pitchers are
outstanding, and I think their team ERA is around two," Randall said. "We're going to have to score runs and pitch well out of the bullpen."
The Jayhawks also received some bad news yesterday about senior left fielder Doug Dreher. Dreher did not fracture his left wrist, which he injured in a collision with senior shortstop John Nelson in Kansas' Tuesday game at Arkansas, but he did sprain ligaments in his wrist.
Senior Pete Smart, coming off his first loss of the season against Baylor last weekend, will start in the 7 p.m. match-up against Texas.
Dreher is out indefinitely, but Nelson will be available for action today.

Fans' cheers jeers enliven environment during games
When it comes to college basketball, it's the fans that give a team its edge.
Be it the banter that opposing fans deliver to players such as Eric Chenowith during road games or the "Roy, Roy, Roy" chant at home games, fans build their teams up and break their opponents down. They try to make the opposition feel worthless and treat their team like royalty.
Journalists can feel their wrath sometimes, too.
One particularly loyal group of KU students (the group known as Neil's Atomic Fireballs) took pride in its harassment of a certain Kansan sports reporter — me — during home games this year.
That special bunch, with whom I camped-out for games last year, lauded me with affectionate calls of "BOO" when I wandered past them to my seat on press row.
Jeers of "You suck, Wristen" and "Worst columnist ever!" nearly broke my writing focus, but I never caved to the pressure.
They showered me with "gifts" of wadded up balls of newspaper, coasters, the occasional ice cube and any other offerings they could toss in my general direction. That clearly knocked me off of my reporting game.
They drove nearly 700 miles to Dayton, Ohio, for the NCAA Tournament first- and second-round games to support their team and heckled me from the nosebleed seats in the process.
But things got better. The "Fireballs" pulled through and made the road environment feel friendly.
It was a sight to see and showed just how serious fans take their teams.
Back to those "Fireballs." Apparently, as the size of the venue gets bigger, these guys get louder. They elevated their volume level inside the 34,000-seat Alamodome and sat in a section within earshot of my seat.
Students weary from making the 12-hour road trip from Lawrence even came out for the event — one group had driven 22 consecutive hours to the Alamo City from Los Angeles for the game. Chants of "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk" could be heard echoing throughout downtown San Antonio. It was a sight to see and showed just
The Jayhawks received tremendous support from thousands of faithful Kansas fans. I had no such luck.
This group of Wristen-basher joined thousands of Jayhawk fans at a pep rally in San Antonio before Kansas' game against Illinois last Friday.
I thought I was entering enemy territory when I strolled through the media tunnel toward my seat because they booed so loud.
Old-timers wore KU suspenders and babies had "Future Jayhawk" shirts on. Dozens carried stuffed monkeys — a la "Stank 'em" — and one fan even wore a gorilla costume.
They even brought a supportive poster. It read, "Wristen, BOOQ!"
Fans sitting near them must have wondered what this friendly and strikingly handsome young man did to deserve such treatment.
Despite the negative connotation of the sign, I was in good company. Fans also held posters for Kenny Gregory, Drew Gooden and Brett Ballard.
Despite the tone of the heckling, I still considered it supportive, regardless of what those Fireballs claim. The fact is, any sport is more fun when the crowd gets crazy.
The highlights on the court were always exciting — Gregory's dunks, Nick Collison's blocked shots and Kirk Hinrich's hustle — but without the fans it would not have been the same. They made it fun for me and themselves.
