The report showed 956 criminal offences reported last year — a 12 percent drop from 1999 and a 33 percent drop from 1997's total of 1.438 reported criminal offences. Property crimes, such as burglary, theft and criminal damage, which include crimes such as breaking car windows, account for the majority of crimes reported, said Major Chris Keary, assistant director of the public safety office. Violent crimes like murder and rape — continue to constitute less than one percent of all crime reported. The statistics do not include incidents that occurred in Greek housing or Naismith Hall because those areas are in the Lawrence Police Department's jurisdiction. Keary said. Last year, Keary said, officers arrested several car burglars in the act. And with tips from KU Crime Stoppers, officers identified and arrested a man involved in a January 2000 shooting at the Burge Union By talking to incoming students about crime prevention, Keary added, the public safety office hopes to instill safety habits that helped reduce campus crime. "It is our belief that a well-informed community provides for an overall awareness that is helpful in the reduction of crime within the community." Keary said. Purvi Patel, Shawnee freshman and Templin Hall resident, said she had felt safe on campus since she arrived in August. "I'm glad to hear crime is down, but I already feel safe," Patel said. "I feel OK by myself, even when it gets dark, whether it's walking on campus or just across the street to Lewis for dinner." Thouge the public safety office is pleased that crime has decreased on campus, Keary said, the KU community should continue to be "vigilant against crime." "Everyone on this campus should take steps to keep from being included in next year's crime statistics," Keary said. A full report of all crimes reported between 1997 and 2000 is available on the public safety office's Web site, www.ku.edu/~kucops. KU Crime Alerts and the daily crime log are also available online. — Edited by Jennifer Valadez Crime statistics Statistics released Friday by the KU Public Safety Office show a downward trend in campus crime over the past four years. | | 1997 | 1998 | 1999 | 2000 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Assault | **74** | **70** | **103** | **74** | | Burglary | **343** | **248** | **188** | **155** | | Vandalism | **251** | **214** | **220** | **188** | | Theft | **588** | **525** | **386** | **380** | Kvle Ramsev/KANSAN Source: KU Public Safety Office Kula RamseuKANSAN Police seek missing student Mother last spoke to her March 21 By Lauren Brandenbury writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The towels were folded, the bed made and the dishes clean when Mike and Sarah Thomasson entered their daughter Cayce's apartment Saturday with help from the Lawrence police. They haven't heard from Cayce, a 21-year-old architecture student who lives alone in an apartment, since March 21, and neither have her friends. The Prairie Village senior's purse was in the apartment with her wallet, driver's license, checkbook and ATM card inside. "Nothing's wrong other than that everything's wrong," Sarah Thomasson said. Sarah Thomasson, who normally talks with Cayee between two and four times a week, said she last talked with Cayce the evening of March 21, when she asked Cayce if she wanted to go to Iowa State University for her younger sister's perspective stu- sister's prospective student visit. "She said she had a lot of school work to catch up on, so she was going to stay in Lawrence," Sarah said. That made sense, Sarah said, because Cayce had been sick and in the hospital the week before and had missed class. 1 After Sarah returned, she left a message on Cavce's machine Wednesday. She didn't think anything was out of the ordinary until Cayce didn't call back, she said. Thomasson: has been missing since March 21 "A lot of times, she's in the studio," Sarah said. "If she is, she'll call back the next day, but she didn't. I called her Thursday and Friday and numerous times on Saturday." When she still couldn't reach her daughter and the apartment management would not let her or her husband into the apartment, the Thomassons went to the Lawrence police. Sarah said she thought her daughter may have gone to Marvin Hall the night of March 21 to work in the studio. She said Cayce did not need any other books or supplies to work — just the computer she owned that she kept in the lab — which might explain why her backpack and books remained in the apartment. The Thomassons want to access Cayce's computer in the studio to see when she last used it, Sarah said, but campus police told them that would require a search warrant. The Thomassons can't figure out how Cayce's rent check and next year's lease showed up in the drop box at Cayce's apartment complex late this week. Complex management told the Thomassons that the box was checked daily, so the items must have been deposited Thursday, said Sgt. Dave Hubbel of the Lawrence Police Department. "If there was foul play, someone's probably not going to go back to the scene and pay the rent," Hubbel said. The check was dated March 23, Sarah said, but she said Cayce commonly wrote all her checks to pay bills at one time and kept them in a stack with Post-It Notes to remind her when to send them. One of Cayce's friends, Jennifer Pool, spent part of yesterday posting fliers and calling Cayce's close friends. Pool said she may have been the last person to talk to Cayce on March 21. She has not talked with Cavye since. Initially, Pool said, she thought Cayce was not returning phone calls because she had been sick the week before spring break and was trying to catch up on schoolwork. But too much time passed.

[Mikasa Sasaki] Indian festival accents color and tradition Three members of the Cultural India Club perform a traditional dance. The club held a variety show Saturday night, featuring Indian songs and dances, to celebrate Hali, a two-day festival of colors. Photo by Jamie Rooper/KANSAN By Michelle Ward writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Cultural India Club event celebrates Holi Pooja Wagh dressed in her finest silk for the festival of colors presented by the Cultural India Club Saturday night. She wore a traditional salwar kamecz, a three-piece outfit, in orange and embroidered with different designs. The bright color symbolized a festival atmosphere, letting guests know what to expect as they entered the Kansas Union. "Rangoli '01," a variety show featuring Indian songs and dances, was held to celebrate Holi, the festival of colors. In India, the twoday celebration, starts with a bonfire and continues with a huge water gun fight with colored water. Though the KU festival was a shortened and calmer version of the traditional celebration, about 300 participants enjoyed Indian food and music on Saturday. Students of Indian descent and international students from India taught students and faculty from other backgrounds about the festival. The Holi festival announces the freshness and warmth of spring and the passing of winter. People give one another colors to honor the spirit of rejuvenation and merriment. The club's celebration of Holi is a chance for Indian students to share memories of previous times, while others learn about the history of the event. Rangoli's winter counterpart, The Festival of Lights, is celebrated each year in Lawrence as well. "It brings back old memories, and it's a cultural get-together," said Wagh, a Bombay graduate student. "We don't have a lot of colors, but it's still fun." Bakul Pant, a hardiwar, India, graduate student, remembers celebrating Holl as a child by smearing others' faces with colors and filling balloons with colored water. The day's activities were generally planned for youth, but everyone got involved in the act. The party would often continue with a gathering of family and friends for lunch and dancing later that night. The night before the day of colors, people set off bonfires all over India in remembrance of Prahlad, a young boy sentenced to death by fire. The story tells how, through divine intervention, the boy walked through the fire unscathed. Though they could not enjoy some of Holl's traditional events, people attending Rangoli '01 ate a native Indian meal including rice, paneer, similar to cottage cheese. and kneer, a rice pudding eaten on special occasions. The meal, catered by Ruchi, an Indian restaurant in Kansas City, was served buffet style. For Sarika Pappala, a Visakhapatnam, India, graduate student who came to Lawrence in January, the festival was a nice reminder of home. "I didn't know so many people were living here," Pappala, "They are so friendly. They make me feel less homesick." "People get together, and it's a communal type of feeling," Bant said. "People from other cultures can come here and learn more about India." Pappala danced in the variety show with a group performing to a medley of Indian songs. They were one of 12 groups that performed Indian songs and dances both classical and modern. The show reflected culture from different regions of India by including traditional dress and music from different parts of the country. — Edited by Megan Phelps He said the atmosphere at the School of Education and the University's support for the Special Education program were major reasons for its success. Two programs ranked No.1 by U.S.News By Cássio Furtado writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Two University of Kansas graduate programs maintained No.1 status in U.S.News and World Report rankings and are among four KU programs to make the magazine's top 10. "It's a pleasant vicious circle to be in." Skritic said. The public management and administration program was ranked seventh, and the University of Kansas Medical Center's occupational therapy program was eighth. The new rankings, released today, kept KU's special education and city management and urban policy graduate programs as No.1 in the country. The magazine, which has published graduate rankings since 1990, measures schools based on students' entering test scores, student/faculty ratio, academic reputation and teaching excellence. Tom Skrtic, chairman of special education, said that the department was pleased to be recognized by the magazine and that the rankings allowed the department to attract the best graduate students in the country. By having top-notch students, he said, the program is able to recruit good faculty members, who would attract more qualified students. Suni Shieh, a Taipei City, Taiwan, doctoral student in special education, said the program's success should be attributed to the department's excellent faculty members. She said the department provided many opportunities for graduate students, both inside and outside the classroom. She said teaching and support for research in the department were excellent. John Augusto, assistant dean of the graduate school, said the rankings were relevant because they attracted more attention to graduate education. "We're delighted by the rankings," he said. KU programs have consistently received recognition from the magazine. The University has 20 programs ranked among the top in the nation by U.S.News. Other KU programs ranked by the magazine in previous years have included paleontology, journalism, sedimentology and stratigraphy counseling personnel services, rural medicine, pharmacy, elementary teacher education, music, fine arts, drama and creative writing. - Edited by Leita Schultes . 2A The Inside Front Monday April 2, 2001 News from campus, the state the nation and the world TORONTO GARY BUFFALO BELGRADE ASPEN ATHENS JERUSALEM DHAKA NATION Teen to be charged in Indiana shooting GARY, Ind. — A teen-ager accused of fatally shooting a student outside a high school was scheduled to be formally charged with murder today. Police Chief John Roby said Burt "didn't give a motive" for the killing. Investigators said Donald Ray Burt Jr., 17, a former student at Lew Wallace High School admitted shooting sophomore Neal Boyd, 16, on Friday. Detective Keith Richardson told The Times of Northwest Indiana that Burt "wanted to tell us the situation, but his parents advised him not to say anything." Donald Ray Burt Sr. said his son did not kill Boyd, describing the teenagers as best friends. Burt shot at people who were about to assault him and Boyd, the father said. Warning was issued before Aspen crash ASPEN, Colo. — Crews yesterday prepared to remove the wreckage of a charter jet that slammed into a hillside, killing all 18 people aboard, as investigators looked into why air traffic controllers were unaware of new landing restrictions. The Gulfstream III approached the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport on instruments in bad weather Thursday night when it crashed near the runway. Two days earlier, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a notice saying planes should not make instrument landings at the airport at night, said Carol Carmody, the National Transportation Safety Board's acting chairwoman. "I find it troubling, no question," Carmody said. Carmody said pilots leaving other airports for Aspen had received the notice, but controllers at the Aspen airport had not, and were not warning incoming pilots. McVeigh tells his story in book about bombing BUFFALO, N.Y. — Driving down a street with fuses already lit and their smoke filling the cab of his rented Ryder truck, Timothy McVeigh was prepared to crash his mobile bomb right into the Oklahoma City federal building if necessary. "If I needed to, I was ready to stay in the truck and protect it with gunfire until the bomb blew up," McVeigh says in excerpts from a new book, American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing, in the April 9 issue of Newsweek. Instead, McVeigh says, he breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the building on April 19, 1995, because no cars were sitting in front to block his chosen parking spots. When the truck bomb exploded, it killed 168 people. McVeigh, 32, is scheduled to be executed May 16. WORLD Milosevic pleads innocent to charges of corruption BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — A haggard Slobodan Milosevic pleaded innocent yesterday to corruption charges linked to his dictatorial 13-year rule as authorities questioned the former president and ordered him jailed for 30 days. Although the Yugoslav government says it intends to try him at home for ruining the nation, the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, stepped up pressure for Milosevic to be handed over to face prosecution over alleged atrocities in Kosovo. Milosevic's lawyer said the 59-year-old ousted leader, now in Belgrade's Central Prison, was exhausted and had been sedated after a 26-hour armed standoff in his besieged villa and a stormy night of negotiations that ended with his surrender to police before dawn Sunday. Suspicious package investigated in Toronto TORONTO — Police evacuated three floors of a Toronto office building and sealed off a major downtown street Friday after suspicious-looking gray powder spilled from a package. As in a similar incident last week, the powder turned out to be harmless Police said an anti-pollution group that sent out mailings containing powder meant to represent air pollution might be responsible. Workers in the Emst & Young Tower who may have come in contact with the powder had to undergo decontamination — their clothes and bodies were showered with water. Fire trucks and other emergency vehicles filled Bay Street, in the heart of Toronto's financial district, jamming traffic in all directions. Police said they have responded to similar calls five times in recent weeks. Strike in Bangladesh erupts into violence DHAKA, Bangladesh — Violent clashes in Bangladesh killed one man and injured 200 yesterday during the start of a three-day general strike intended to force Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation police said. A truck driver was killed in a bomb attack blamed on strikers in Fenitown, 80 miles east of Dhaka, the capital, police said. More than 1,000 opposition activists paraded through the empty streets of Dhaka in small groups, chanting "Down with the corrupt government!" They accuse Hasina's government of corruption and harassment of political rivals, and are demanding early elections. Police arrested 120 opposition activists on rioting charges. Boat of Iraqi Kurds runs aground in Greece ATHENS, Greece — A boat trying to smuggle 447 Iraqi Kurds to Italy ran ground on an island near Athens in rough seas yesterday after being pursued by the Greek coast guard, authorities said. The fishing boat, which departed from Turkey, grounded on the southern tip of the island of Evia, 57 miles east of Athens. About 50 of the would-be illegal immigrants were being taken to a hospital for observation, while the rest were heading to sports and municipal facilities on the island, where they would be held, police said. Among the passengers of the Medine were 39 women and 40 children. Three Turkish crew members were arrested, police and the merchant marine said. Tens of thousands of people from the Middle East, Asia and eastern Europe sneak into Greece each year, despite efforts to bolster the coast guard and border patrols. Greece often is used as a transit point for reaching other European Union countries. Israeli man arrested for plot to rob armory JERUSALEM — An Israeli Jew has been arrested on suspicion of killing a village security officer in a plot to rob the village armory and sell dozens of assault rifles to the Palestinians, police said yesterday. Israel media identified the suspect as Jean Eliaz, 42, from Kiriyat Ata in northern Israel, a subcontractor working near Kibbutz Manara, a collective village on the Lebanese border. The body of Yitzhak Kwartat was found March 19, the same day that 60 automatic rifles were discovered missing from the village armory. At a news conference, police said Eiraz headed a ring with six Israeli Arabs from the village of Kfar Salem, who sold most of the rifles to the Palestinians. All seven suspects have confessed, police said. Elraz has been arrested, but no charges have been filed. The Associated Press U.S. plane collides with Chinese jet The Associated Press BEIJING — A U.S. Navy surveillance plane collided with a Chinese fighter jet sent to intercept it over the South China Sea yesterday and made an emergency landing in China. The Chinese government said the fighter crashed and its pilot was missing. China quickly blamed the U.S. aircraft for the collision off the southern Chinese island of Hainan. But the commander of U.S. Pacific military forces said the slower U.S. plane was more likely to have been hit by the nimble Chinese fighter. "It's pretty obvious who bumped him," said Dennis. Dennis Blair in Hawaii. The collision comes at an uneasy time in U.S. Chinese relations. The Bush administration has taken a warier attitude toward Beijing, and the president is reportedly leaning toward selling Taiwan many of the high-tech weapons it seeks — a sale bitterly opposed by China. The American EP-3 plane landed at a military airfield on Hainan. None of the 24 crew members was injured, said Col. John Bratton, a spokesman for the U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii. The status of the crew and control of the plane on the ground were unclear. Chinese officials assured the United States the crew was safe, and American diplomats were going to Hainan to see them, said U.S. Ambassador Joseph Pruecher. He said he had talked several times with Secretary of State Colin Powell. President Bush was briefed on the episode yesterday morning, an administration official said The U.S. plane was on a routine surveillance flight in international airspace when two Chinese fighters intercepted it, said Bratton. In Honolulu, U.S. Pacific Command officials showed a map that put the collision about 80 miles southeast of Hainan, well outside the 12-mile territorial sea and airspace. ON THE RECORD A 20-year-old KU student was arrested Friday on charges of operating a vehicle while under the influence, the KU Public Safety Office said. The student was traveling near 19th Street and Anna Drive at 2:33 a.m. when he was pulled over for driving 57 miles per hour in a 30-mph zone, according to the police report. The student failed several field sobriety tests, including standing on one leg and being unable to recite the alphabet. He was arrested and taken to Douglas County Jail, where he registered a .15 blood-alcohol level — the legal limit in Kansas is .08.

Bailey said the city needed to help homeowners as property taxes continued to jump annually and make the process of Bailey; wants clearer property valuation process PETER M. ROGERS preservation. He supports the three-person limit for unrelated residents in single-family neighborhoods as a tool for neighborhood property valuations clearer. He supports landlord registration and inspection of homes in single family neighborhoods, and eventually all neighborhoods. He said he thought tax abatements could provide important revenue to the city, but that any tax abatement should have the overwhelming support of the community. Bailey also has said that four out of five City Commissioners should have to vote to approve an abatement. He said that the Planning and City Commissions should follow development guidelines in Horizon 2020 and that all commissioners should refuse developers if the development wasn't in the long-term interest of the community. Bailey said he would not vote to approve development in the floodplain. David Dunfield David Dunfield is an architect running for re-election to the commission. He said he wanted Lawrence to lead economic development A. P. A. Dunfield voted to change the number of unrelated people who can live together in residences so that the city could grow in sustainable ways. Dunfield; supports tax abatements in rare circumstances zoned for single families from four to three. He said the ordinance was a step toward main taining community for families in those neighborhoods that were zoned for families. He supports landlord registration and the inspection ordinance for single-family neighborhoods. He said he would support tax abatements in rare circumstances and only for companies that were "technologically, socially and environmentally progressive." He would support a living wage as a condition for granting tax abatements. He said police officers spent too much time doing bureaucratic work that took time away from their working in the community. Their jobs needed to be streamlined, so officers could concentrate on community work. Dunfield has voted against developing in the floodplain. Adam Mansfield Adam Mansfield is the manager of Louise's Downtown. Mansfield said he would promote a city-wide recycling program, build bike lanes every MARK BACHER where in town, and oppose tax abatements if elected. He said he did not support the new housing ordinance and said the ordinance was the wrong Mansfield: would promote city-wide recycling program way to solve housing problems in neighborhoods. He said he opposed the city defining what was and wasn't family in the ordinance. He said the costs to the city for hiring new building inspectors and enforcing the licensing ordinance would make the housing ordinance expensive. Mansfield said the city had not produced statistics to show that tax abatements provided the jobs, wages or revenue for the community that they are intended to provide. Until tax abatements are proven effective, Mansfield said he would not support them. He said Mayor Jim Henry's task force on tax abatements was a step toward community involvement in the process. He said a shortage of police officers could be solved by making sure the officers the city employed were familiar with the issues in their neighborhoods. Mansfield said he would not vote to allow development in the floodplain. Sue Hack is a ninth grade civics teacher at Southwest Junior High School. Sue Hack MARGARET BROWN Hack supports coordination among the state, county and Hack: supports integration of KU and city bus systems city to share the costs of building maintenance and supplies in order to help schools facing limited budgets. She said she supported the threeperson limit housing ordinance. She said that as a rental property owner, she felt it was important for all property owners to make sure their property was kept up. She supported the registration policy in order to make public information more available. She said the city should continue to explore options for enforcing the three-person limit. She said she would support the integration of the KU on Wheels and Lawrence Public Transit. She said she supported completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway south of the Wakarusa River and improvements on 31st Street. Marty Kennedy She said she would support the city giving tax abatements. She said that Mayor Henry's task force on tax abatements was a step toward a comprehensive tax abatement policy that commissioners could use to make development decisions. Marty Kennedy is the general manager and co-owner of Kennedy Glass Inc. and is running for reelection to the Commission. 1 Kennedy: favors partnerships between city and school district He voted for the 3-person limit housing ordinance and has supported all four of the housing ordinances that apply to neighborhoods zoned for single families. He said the city needed to make sure there was no demolition by neglect of houses in older neighborhoods. He said maintenance of the infrastructure of the older neighborhoods was one of his priorities. Kennedy said that there was a place for tax abatements and that they should be given to responsible businesses with an investment in the community. Kennedy said the Planning Commission had done a good job of working with the planning guidelines in Horizon 2020. He said he favored partnerships between the city and the school district to cut costs and put services where the people were. Erv Hodges Erv Hodges is a retired businessman and Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps who is running for re-election to the commission. Hodges said he supported the completion of the city transportation system. He voted to reduce the number of unrelated people who could live together to three. Hodges said he supported landlord registration and registration of homes in neighborhoods Hodges: schools should double as community centers zoned for single families as a way to revitalize older neighborhoods. Hodges said the city should provide branch libraries in schools around the city that lack the money to provide a wide selection of books. He said he would support mobile book vans to visit those schools. He said that the Planning Commission had brought more land into the city through annexation than he thought was necessary but that the commission did good work. Hodges said schools should double as community centers and recreational centers to pool city and school board resources. Hodges said the city should expand and improve 31st Street because it was a main thoroughfare in south Lawrence.

Richard Gostautas, a graduate student in civil engineering, said he knew Cayce through his fiancée, Dawn Roberts. He sent an e-mail to John Gaunt, dean of architecture, yesterday asking him to send a message to the school listserv in case anyone knew Cayce's whereabouts. Roberts, Overland Park junior, said Cayce had lived with her during the summer. She said Cayce had no concerns about living on her own. "She likited it to be quiet to study," Roberts said. "The thing that really worries me about her is that she would go on walks late at night by herself." She said Cayce usually walked to Marvin Hall, the last place friends and family think she went. Hubbel said police would investigate the case, talking to friends and neighbors and checking on Cayee's mail and phone records as well working with the KU Public Safety Office to check the computer in Marvin Hall. He said the case would be assigned to the detective division today. Anyone with information can call crime stoppers at 843-TIPS. Edited by Courtney Craigmile Students hit streets to help city By Sarah Smarsh writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Center for Community Outreach hopes to gain student volunteers this week for its third annual Into the The philanthropic project, an assort ment of events in support of community issues such as hunger, homelessness and illiteracy, is intended to reveal societal issues to students — and inspire action Streets Week. "It's to introduce students to thoughtful community service, like understanding why there are homeless in Lawrence." Cline said. Mellissa Cline, co-coordinator of the event, said CCO's main goal was not simply to offer volunteer opportunities but to educate students about the issues. She said one of the best aspects of the event was its inclusiveness, drawing assistance from many types of students. CCC Courtney Smith, a Topeka freshman and regular volunteer for CCO's Intergenerational Program, played frisbee with the residents. She said her goal was to brighten an elderly person's day. Into the Streets Week began Saturday with the Intergenerational Party at Brandon Woods Retirement Community, 1501 Inverness Drive. Volunteers threw a Hawaiian party, complete with leis and a barbecue, for elderly residents. Throughout the week, volunteers plan to become involved in the lives of children, battered women and the homeless community. They will plant flowers, read to children, hold a soup sale and write letters to government officials. "I hope when I'm older, there will be people who care and want to be involved in my life." Smith said. The week will conclude this Saturday with a new event, the 5K Run/Walk, to benefit the Heartland Community Free Medical Clinic, 619 Vermont.

For instance, I know people who are proponents of Darwinian macroevolution and natural selection, but also want to save certain animals from natural extinction — usually the cute ones. natural extinction — usually the Cube ones I hear many of my peers assert the importance of individuality and also support the idea of more community. Furthermore, I hear them talk about having pride in their selves and their beliefs, but advocating open-mindedness. These are the same people who say there are no moral absolutes but scorn a drunk driver for killing an innocent hostager. Alanis Morissette would call these situa- Alanis Morissette wou tions ironic, but I will just call them prima facie paradoxes. For now, let's focus on whether there are moral absolutes. If you sincerely believe absolutes do not exist or basic morals are simply constructed by society, ask yourself why you shudder when some 30-year-old uncle brutally rapes and murders his 5-year-old niece. How can social construction dig that deep? PASO ALFONSO Matt Cox columnist opinion@kansan.com "Oh, but Matt, you are just using a shocking, sensational situation to get our attention." Yes. So why is it so shocking? If that doesn't turn the light bulb on, please confront me on campus. I'd love to talk to you about it at length. But then I will take you to the top floor of Fraser Hall and throw you out the window. But because morals are relative, you have no basis to tell me throwing you off is either good or bad. Something inherent in your human nature, however, will tell you that it isn't right. Ah, yes, this is the part where we all get to spout our human philosophies, making up some god-fixture to suit our own desires so we can construct ourselves to ignore the other moral absolutes that we don't want to abide by. Social construction? Probably not. Then where did this basis of a moral absolute come from? Has it ever occurred to you that maybe a single god who is not bound by time or gravity had a hand in creating these absolutes? If it has, you probably disregard the thought because it sounds too spiritual and less human. And that's exactly where the problem lies. We're so caught up in the idea that humans are the most supreme form of life that any superhuman idea is disregarded as superstition. But maybe the truth is that we've conditioned ourselves not to believe in a superhuman creator or father-figure because the idea scares us and we hate the idea of admitting we are imperfect and need help. You might say this is my own philosophy I am making up, so therefore I am contradicting myself. Nope, I believe that following Jesus Christ is the only true and untainted "philosophy." And yes, there are many assumptions that go along with that. But I don't have enough room to address them here. It comes as no surprise to me that Christianity is the most scrutinized faith. Maybe that's because its basis is the real absolute truth, and we refuse to accept it. We want something that glorifies us instead of someone perfect. Somehow we've constructed ourselves to believe that human impulses and feelings are right and are our guiding light. But how logical is it to put full faith in humans, who make mistakes all This column is a very general start to a topic that reaches deeper than any other. If you want to discuss this with me, please stop me on campus. "It's not what you have faith in; it's just that you have faith," you might say. And to that say, "Boo." Try telling an investor that it's not what stock you invest in; it's just that you invest. And no I won't throw you out of Fraser. That's absolutely wrong.

Numbers do not add up to 100 percent because of rounding. Total votes: 161 Perspective VOICE coalition hides from its precarious past arly grappling in this year's race for Early graphing in this year's Student Senate revolves around whether the VOICE coalition is indeed a new coalition. Last year's Delta Force candidate for president, Ben Burton, has leveled accusations disputing VOICE's claim that they are not, in name or substance, the successor to United Students, last year's largely victorious coalition. Burton's charge is important because key members of that coalition proved to be thieves and liars. Two members of United Students and an associate admitted to stealing thousands of issues of the Kansan that endorsed their political opponents. P Of course, anyone paying attention (understandably few in number) learned the truth when incumbent senator Jonathan Ng — who ran with United Students last year and is now running with VOICE — gave away the game. Ng told the Kansan that "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." Notice that the "we" simply changes the "name." The coalition changes very little, substantively speaking. Contrary to loud huffing, the leadership and most key, older members of the VOICE coalition are Greek and have been involved in Senate since they were freshmen. So why change names? Let us first examine the reasons Ng gives. That they do not want to be "tied to the past" is as suspect as it sounds. Why in the name of all good sense wouldn't a coalition want to build a record of achievement and credibility? It would seem to any reasonable observer that the purpose of changing names year to year is a deceptive action. Delta Force, on the other hand, repeatedly lists past successes (fall break, city-wide bus Andrew Marino columnist oginen@karsan.com system, Hilltop Child Care Center) and a four-year record of clean campaigning. The next and most urgent question that presents itself is, well, why run for Senate in the first place if not to do something? Jessica Bankston, who heads up this year'sVOICE slate as candidate for student body president, has hinted at the answer. Bankston recently told the Kansan she wanted to create a position in which a student would work with the Lawrence City Commission and be in contact with commissioners all year. The notion that a coalition would change names in order to "bring in new ideas" is even more absurd — if that's possible. An established coalition can give birth to a new idea just as easily. In fact, a new name provides cover for old ideas and makes passing them off as new ones plausible. YOU, United Students and now VOICE have told us that they will "make students' voices heard" in the capital, the city and at the University. Their record is mixed at best. Funny. That sounds a lot like the job description for the already-existing position of community affairs director of Student Legislative Awareness Board. But it sure would be nice to have another cushy appointment; therein lies the true impetus for VOICE. Its objective is to perpetuate a clannish, clubby social group's access to plum, paying positions and perks such as expensive lobby trips and — yes — resume building. No one really thinks anyone who utterns inane statements such as Bankston's "one thing that is very important is that Student Senate does more for students every day" brings a genuine passion and sense of purpose. There can be no doubt that theVOICE coalition consists largely of recycled remnants of past coalitions. That they pretend otherwise does not speak well of their character or of their intention to govern. Marino is a Prairie Village senior in political science and English. Editorial More students need to vote in local politics Students can express themselves in tomorrow's City Commission election. Even though they are citizens of the Lawrence community, University of Kansas students rarely show an interest in local politics. The recent ordinance passed by the City Commission limiting the number of unrelated persons living in a house in a single-family neighborhood to three proves how detrimental this lack of interest can be. An opportunity to reverse this poor participation presents itself in tomorrow's City Commission elections. on the daily lives of our students. Students often complain that the Lawrence community does not respect them but do very little to change this view. Jo Dalquest, deputy county clerk, said that even though students had every right to vote in local elections, few took advantage of it and student turnout was usually low. The housing ordinance, integration of the Lawrence transit system and KU on Wheels, the South Lawrence Trafficway and tax abatements for businesses that come to Lawrence are all important issues in this year's election. All affect KU students and also have the potential to change the face of Lawrence. Two KU students ran for office in this year's City Commission primary. Brett Logan, Olathe graduate student, and Jennifer Chaffee, Lawrence senior, have both cited trying to encourage students to get involved with local politics as one of the reasons they decided to run. Although neither one of them advanced past the primaries (perhaps because of low student turnout), their fellow KU students need to support their effort and commitment by voting in the election tomorrow. Dalquest said that some people in the community would prefer that students didn't vote in city elections. She said a major fear was that students would vote on a bond or tax issue and then move away before they helped to pay for it. Students who don't vote do little to foster a better relationship with the community and change negative opinions. "If they intend to live here while they're going to school and are interested in the local goings-on," Dalquest said of students, "then they should have a voice."

It's called the Tunnel of Oppression, a walk-through at Hashinger Hall for the next three days that deals with racism, sexism and homophobia, among other forms of oppression. "It's going to open a lot of people's eyes," said Season Titus, Newton senior. She said hopefully the program would impact people enough to make them start thinking about different forms of oppression. Located on the first floor of the residence hall, the interactive tunnel will include audio, video, volunteer actors and guides. When the participants walk through the dark tunnel, they'll be exposed to TV screens showing scenes of rape and hate crimes, radios blaring explicitly racist dialogue and student actors depicting scenes of oppression. "Some images are strong and might be disturbing to some," said co-organizer Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. That's why the walk-through Tour guides will lead groups of 10 to 15 people through the program, and escorts will be standing by if the walk-through becomes too uncomfortable for participants. will take place in a "safe environment," she said, and KU counselors will be on hand at the end for a mandatory debriefing. "It confronts issues of oppression right in your face," Page said. Robert Page, Office of Multicultural Affairs director, created the Tunnel of Oppression in 1994 with several other people at Western Illinois University. He said it was used at first to train resident assistants, but now has grown into a nationwide program. And even though the interactive experience deals with a heavy subject, Titus said there would be "a light at the end of the tunnel." Everyone is welcome to participate in the program, and there is no charge for admission. The performances will run today through Wednesday — from 4 to 7 p.m. today and Wednesday, and from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday. The program is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Multicultural Resource Center, the Student Organizations & Leadership Development Center, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, the Diversity Peer Education Team, the Department of Student Housing, Counseling and Psychological Services and the Colors of KU. — Edited by Jennifer Valadez Grouplooks to emphasize AIDS awareness By Livi Regenbaum By Livi Regenbam writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer Although AIDS has been in the mainstream consciousness for more than a decade, the Douglas County AIDS Project wants to remind the community about the disease's impact with its local AIDS awareness month. Sidney Hardgrave, executive director of DCAP, said the activities had two purposes. "Our primary goal for the month is to remind the community that HIV is a local concern and that it does impact our neighbors, friends and colleagues," she said. The Centers for Disease Control reported 303,000 cases of AIDS in the United States and 650,000 to 900,000 cases of HIV this year. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported 17 new cases of HIV and 19 new cases of AIDS in 2001 in Kansas. Hardgrace said the other goal was to raise money so DCAP could continue to finance its pro- DCAP has several activities and fund raisers for the month, including a "Walk for Health" at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 28 at the South Park Gazebo. Sponsors will collect pledges and all AIDS awareness month the proceeds will go to DCAP. Anyone interested in participating in the walk can call DCAP at 843-0040 for more information. Sarah Wilson, Derby sophomore and DCAP volunteer helping with the Walk for Health, said she hoped the fundraiser would help the community become aware about the disease. Other fundraisers planned for the month include a play Saturday sponsored by English Alternative Theatre titled When Scott Comes Home, a one-act play performed by the Drama Ministries Ensemble from Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa. Another fundraiser will be the third annual Spaghetti Dinner sponsored by the Panhellenic and Interfraternity councils at 5 p.m. April25. In addition to fundraisers, DCAP plans to have information tables on campus educating students about HIV as well as other places in town. Buck Rowland, DCAP education outreach coordinator and Wichita graduate student, said the organization was also working with Queers and Allies to sponsor an annual pride party during Pride Week Wednesday, April 18 at Tremors Night Club, 729 AIDS AWARENESS MONTH When Scatt comes Home, a play sponsored by the English Alternative Theatre, 8 p.m. Saturday at Room 130 in Budig Hall.

When informed that the book about the rapper made the Times list in its first week of publication, Hemenway said, "Damn." "ODB is a person of extraordinary talent and exuberance." Hemenway said. "I'm profoundly honored to see my book, a testament to his art, find such a wide audience." Ol' Dirty Bastard, also known as Russell Jones, has long been hailed as a misunderstood genius. Hemenway said. Although much of the publicity surrounding him has centered on his stints in drug rehab and jail, ODB's lyrics reveal a sensitive, spiritual side, Mimenway said. "Amid a barrage of funky beats and chest-crushing basslines, Ol' Dirty's passion for social commentary shines through." he said. "He uses his personal experiences with addiction, life in the ghetto and poor den Hemenway: said ODB inspired his own rap career. tal hygiene to call for a more unified, compassionate society." Hemenway said that behind ODB's genius was a self-destructive streak. "In many of his lyrics, he's crying out in pain, especially in the tracks 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya' and 'Hippa to Da Hoppa,'" Hemenay said. "Each of these songs, like many of his other singles, indicate that Dirty's highly public troubles with the law — and the vitriolic reviews of music critics — have sent him into a downward spiral of despair. "That's why, just a couple of years ago, he briefly changed his name to Little Baby Jesus." Hemenway said. "He envisions himself as a prophet of redemption, just as Jack Kerouac did. He sees himself as a savior, redeeming the world through his own downtrodden life." ODB.collaborated with Hemenway on an upcoming album Hemenway recalled bonding with Dirty when the rapper visited The Outlook, the chancellor's home on the University of Kansas campus. "Although he publicly portrays himself as a kind of ghetto jester, he's a really kind, laid-back guy," Hemenway said. "During one interview, we sat on my porch drinking 40-ounce bottles of Ammo malt liquor. He really opened up to me. Before you know it, we were rapping freestyle. He's truly inspired my own burgeoning rap career." The collaboration, Ol' Dirty Bastard and Da Chanzla Pimpin'Hos, is due on record shelves this fall. William Kristol, a Times book reviewer, said Hemenway's book was a compelling novel about a rap artist who rose from hoodlum to superstar. "Hemenway paints a picture of a tortured soul who rose to fame both as a member of Wu Tang Clan and as a solo artist," Kristol said. "Hemenway's in-depth exploration of Dirty's childhood in a rough Brooklyn neighborhood is a tear-jerking, evocative, masterpiece of nonfiction. "After reading it, even I wanted to smoke crack," Kristol said. Woman beaten with ugly stick By Nathan Willis opinion@kansan.com Kansas associate opinion editor A 19-year-old female KU student is in stable condition at New-You Plastic Surgery Specialists after being beaten with an ugly stick Saturday night. Police have no suspects but have cautioned everyone to avoid contact with males. "The one thing we do know is that the attacker was a male," said Lt. Schuyler Bailey. "So I would avoid males at all costs. I would especially avoid all males carrying giant ugly sticks and threatening people. They may look cute at first, but you'll regret it later when you have a bibian and a giant nose." Bailey also urged a mass panic on campus until the attacker is found. The attack occurred about 9:30 p.m. near Watson Library, the KU Public Safety Office said. A witness, Justin Klutenhamer, Overland Park Junior, said the attack lasted only about a "I was walking the other direction on the sidewalk and had just passed her when I heard her scream," he said. "I turned around and saw a guy beating her. I chased him off, but it was too late. minute but that the attacker was able to administer several sharp blows. He said he glanced at the woman before the beating and judged her "pretty good-looking." He said the victim's face was twisted into a repugnant mismatch of features, "like a horse belching, if you can imagine that." "But after the attack, I just shudded," Klutenhamer said. "I mean, I've seen some horribly ugly people in my life, but ... my God." Klutenham drove the woman to New-You. "That decision may have saved her from being a freak the rest of her life," Bailey said. "Many people would have driven her to the hospital, but that's the worst thing you can do. That allows the ugly features to set in." Sharon Pater, a plastic surgeon at New-You, performed emergency surgery on the victim SIGNS YOU'VE BEEN BEATEN WITH AN UGLY STICK Unfortunately, not all victims of ugly-stick assault know they've been attacked because attackers are tond of slipping victims drugs that make them pass out before the attack occurs. Here are some telltale signs to watch for: ■ People shriek every time you walk into a room. ■ You keep seeing sights on your door with "Hideous freak!" again and again. Your girlfriend/boyfriend suddenly breaks up with you because "frankly, I'd be more attracted to a mule." - You don't remember always having giant buck teeth or deformed earlobes. suckle风铃 for qualified enquiries If you get attacked, here's what to do: If you get attacked, here's what to do: Immediately put a bag over your head. If there is no bag available, remove your underwear and use it to cover your face and said she expected a full recovery. "She may still have a few excess moles," Pater said. "Those little boogers are tougher than you'd think. But otherwise, we think we were able to clean her up pretty nicely." Contact a plastic surgeon immediately. The attack continues a surge of ugly-stick beatings on campus. Saturday night's attack brought the total for the academic year to 26, the 68 percent increase from five years ago. The number of students who have been pushed out of ugly trees and hit every branch on the way down also has jumped. Bailey attributed the surge to an increasingly ugly on-campus population. "The students on campus have gone from pretty hot to butt-ugly in the last few years." Bailey said. "Statistics show that already-ugly people commit 90 percent of ugly-stick beatings. They resent better-looking people, and the ugly stick is an easy way to lash out." Safety office will require students to use hamster balls A KU student steps into one of the prototype human-sized hamster balls. The contraptions, made by Coca-Cola, are being tested right now, but will be implemented for use beginning this summer. A system to help students get up the hill in the balls is being devised. Photo by Selena Jabarq/KANSAN Coca-Cola to make contraptions designed for campus safety By Chris Hopkins writer@kansan.com Special to the Kansan In a revolutionary step of preventative medicine, the KU Public Safety Office will require students on campus to travel in giant hamster balls starting this summer. Prototypes are already in use. Ralph Oliver, director of the public safety office, said he thought of the plan after hearing about that boy in the bubble. While the plan has no direct connection to Saturday's ugly stick beating, it is in response to increased injuries to students. The University saw a record number of injuries—and lawsuits—last winter, when sporadic snow and ice kept sidewalks slick. Fearing further litigation, the University turned to Oliver. "I thought to myself, 'What could be safer than that?'" he said. Oliver has taken quick steps to implement his plan. Coca-Cola already has agreed to be the exclusive supplier of the giant hamster balls and has promised to provide the same quality service as it has in its current contract. Students using the prototypes already have reported several problems, including difficulty getting up the hill and the inability to get through doors. A large number of students also have reported injuries resulting from rolling down stairs. Oliver said doors would be widened to accommodate the new system, buses would be exchanged for motorized egg cartons, and he said there were several ideas for further easing travel around campus. "One idea was to install giant pinball equipment around campus — you know, bumpers, ramps and the like," Oliver said. "We could hold contests. 'Knock down all the targets on Strong and win free tuition!'" He speculated that the University could market it as an amusement park to generate extra funds. He posited "Happywackyfunland" as a possible name. "Another plan was setting up scaffolding similar to those theater gumball machines, with a giant ski lift to carry students to the top of a system of funnels and tubes." Oliver said. Oliver said some "prissy sissies" suggested that such a system might jostle students too much. Some students are looking forward to the new happywackyfun campus. "I think the pinball thing would be really cool," said Wilbur Nether, Lawrence senior and Planet Pinball employee. "I could gank some of the bumper coils, and build, like, the biggest rail gun ever." "Only James Bond, or perhaps the Masked Masturbator, could stop me then." While the plan also has received praise from hypochondriacs and smokers, who will be allowed to smoke in their individual balls, many other students are opposed to the plan. A coalition of students, calling themselves Students Against Moronic Evil Odd Lying Demented Stupid Hateful Insane Treachery, will protest the plan and petition the administration to stop it and be merciful. "It just seems — how do I put this — asinine," said Miguel Sanchez, Tijuana, Mexico, sophomore. None of the administrators could be reached for comment, and it has been rumored that they have joined Chancellor Robert Hemenway (Da Chanzla) in Ol' Dirty Bastard's posse. Time change a historical practical joke By Sara Nutt features@kansan.com Kansan special sections editor Apparently, the man who invented electricity may have also invented the whoopie cushion. The discovery of one of Benjamin Franklin's diaries has revealed that not only was he one of the greatest inventors of all time, but also was a practical loker. Franklin is credited with the concept of Daylight Savings Time, which, conveniently for Franklin, falls appropriately near April Fool's Day each year. A quote from his diary states: "I shall make a fool of most of the world — with the exception of Indiana, Arizona and Hawaii — with my notion of time saving. The entire world shall oversleep, and I shall laugh." "If Franklin were alive, he'd be laughing at us all today," said Gadine-dine Schlepper, history professor at Idaho University. "At the Continental Congress of 1775, he joy buzzed John Adams so many times they started calling him 'Shocky John.'" Although Daylight Savings Time was not instituted until 1918, repealed in 1919, observed sporadically across the United States from 1945 to 1966, officially reinstated nationwide in 1966, reformed in 1972 and again in 1986. Franklin's greatest ioke still has the world mystified "I hate the time change," said Mabel Cross, Goshen, Ind., resident. "I moved to Indiana just to avoid being confused all year round." Scientists argue that Daylight Savings Time is more than just a 200-year old prank because it saves electricity, increases daylight hours and improves visibility for drivers by 400 percent. However, several religious groups argue that Daylight Savings Time is "playing God." One of the greatest opponents is Ted Helps, pastor of the Eastboro Methodist Church in Topeka. Helps said that the time change was the government's way to control the elements of earth. "God did not intend for us to live outside of His time specifications. This will surely send us all to hell." Despite evidence that Daylight Savings Time is a big joke, scientists warn against resetting clocks. Edgar Krysteig, professor of time studies at MIT, said that constantly altering the time could have an adverse effect. "Look, we all know that Daylight Savings Time is one of the dumbest things ever, but if people keep changing their clocks, we're all going to be walking, jet-lagged zombies," he said. University drops in national stretchy black pant rankings By Kursten Phelps wher@kansan.com Kansan campus editor The gods of polyester and Lyca are busting at the seams to squeeze more KU women into black stretchy pants after the University slipped from No. 3 to No. 6 in the national stretchy black pants wearing ranking issued today by the Princeton Review. Provost David Shulenburger said he was disappointed by the slip in the polls, but that he would continue to fight for the elasticized comfort of all KU students. But the University's downfall from the top of the black stretchy pant world hasn't frzzled, Sally Sigler, Chicago (actually just a suburb), sophomore, just yet. "It's an outrage that our students are suffering because of the continual budget crisis," Shulenburger said. "Some of them are struggling and can only afford one or two pairs of the blessed pants. Some of our best-dressed students are having to turn to jeans and some daws, dear God, even sweets." "I think it's totally a cycle thing," Sigler explained. "I mean, sometimes you want to wear the stretchy pants, and sometimes, you're just thinking, 'Girl,' it's a capi day." Lizzie Dizzyz, a senior who refused to identify her hometown but said it was in Johnson County, described herself as a recovering black Lycra-polyester leggings addict. After a series of unfortunate incidents involving the slinky pants, she committed herself to an emotional rehab program at the Betsy Johnson fashion rehabilitation center. "I would come home every night with splinters in my butt from sitting on the benches at the Crossing," Dizzily said. "I finally had to admit to myself that I need something more durable." And despite the magnificent stretching capacity of the pants, Missy Lovett, Day- When I went to Cancun for spring break, "cerveza was the only word in Spanish I knew." Lovett said. "They kept bringing on the Corona, and by Friday night, my black stretchy pants just, like, exploded. I guess the elastic couldn't hold anymore." But Lovett vowed that she would work off the kegs she guzzled and slither back into the stretchy stale of her wardrobe. "It's my duty as a proud Jayhawk to get us back up in the rankings," she said. "Besides, what else am I supposed to wear with my New Balance shoes?" Stretchy black pants rankings The graph represents KU's rankings in national stretchy pants-wearing during the last five years.

The Kansas softball team proved to be up to the challenge as it beat the Aggies 5-2 Saturday and completed the two-game sweep with a 6-4 win yesterday at the Aggie Softball Complex. "It was like we wrote a script and the kids followed it to a "T," said coach Tracy Bunge, whose "Hawks improved to 19-16 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12 Conference. "This was the best performance by this team since the first weekend of the season," she said. The Jayhawks jumped on Aggie starter Jessica Slataper from the onset, scoring three runs on three hits in the first inning and chasing her from the game after just 1 2/3 innings of work. Kansas hitters finished the game with 12 hits as five different hitters drove in runs. --- "Prior to the game, we talked about the importance of coming out Bunge: said team's performance was one of its best aggressively and setting the tone," Bunge said. "Today, the kids just went out and did it." Kansas junior catcher Leah Tabb hit her team-leading fifth home run in the game, a solo shot to left in the fifth inning. Freshman Kara Pierce kept Aggie hitters off balance all afternoon. She surrendered just four hits and walked two as she moved to 11-7 on the year. The seventh inning belonged to Kansas. Game two saw A&M (24-11, 1-5) jump out early. The Aggies scored the game's first three runs and held a 4-2 advantage moving into the last inning. Kansas took advantage of three AEM errors and scored four runs, three of which were unearned, and posted the come-from-behind victory. "We just crumbled and had every opportunity to win that game," said Aggies coach Jo Evans. "There is no excuse for our play in the seventh inning." Kansas centerfielder Shelly Musser collected the big hit in the game-winning rally. Her single to right center drove in two runs and gave the Jayhawks a one-run advantage. She later scored the game's final run on a throwing error by A&M catcher Lisa Klam as she stole third base — her team-leading 16th swipe of the season. Junior Kelly Campbell (2-2) picked up the win for Kansas in relief. She replaced Pierce in the fourth and held the Aggies to two runs during the final four innings. The wins move Kansas ahead of Oklahoma State and into fourth place in the Big 12 standings. The 'Hawks swing back into action Wednesday with a trip to Springfield, Mo., for a doubleheader with Southwest Missouri State. They return to Big 12 action Saturday and Sunday with a two-game series at Texas Tech. — Edited by Courtney Craigmile Longhorns sweep series with 'Hawks By Ryan Malashock The Kansas baseball team appeared poised to notch its second victory against a ranked opponent this season as it led No. 22 Texas by one run in the top of the ninth inning Friday night. Kansan sportswriter But six runs and five hits later, the Longhorns had taken the lead and beat the Jayhawks, 10-5. Spurred by Friday's victory, Texas defeated Kansas Saturday, 6-2, and yesterday, 6-3. With Texas' three-game sweep, the Jayhawks' losing streak stretched to seven games. Kansas senior Jesse Gremminger, who had two hits yesterday but was sick Friday and did not play, said that the Jayhawks entered the weekend series confident, but that Friday's loss was a monumental blow because a victory was so close. As they would do all weekend, the Jayhawks (14-18, 2-13) fell behind early in Friday's game against Texas (24-12, 12-3). "Friday night showed that they're beatable and that we could go out there and win," Gremminger said, "But it did hurt bad. We expected to win that game, especially going into the top of the ninth with the lead." Trailing 4-0 in the fifth inning, the Jayhawks mounted a rally. With one out in the fifth, junior third baseman Ryan Klocksien smacked a bases-clearing double to right center, scoring three Kansas runners. Sophomore first baseman Kevin Wheeler then tied the game by doubling to left center and scoring Klocksien. Kansas took the lead in the bottom of the eighth when senior catcher Brent Del Chiaro scored on a two-out error by Texas third baseman Ryan Brooks. Senior Pete Smart took the lead into the ninth, but had thrown 125 pitches entering the inning. After getting Texas' Ryan Hubele to fly out to center, Smart walked Ben King. Kansas coach Bobby Randall promptly removed Smart in favor of junior Doug Lantz, and the Longhorns jumped on Lantz for six runs. Randall said he thought he made the correct decision in bringing in Lantz, who leads the Big 12 with five saves. "We brought Doug in and he just didn't have it tonight," Randall said. "Pete was at 135 pitches, and I felt that we should go with Doug." Smart gave up five runs off five hits and struck out three in 8 1/3 innings. He said the loss ranked as one of the hardest losses to take in his career. “It’s heart-wrenching.” Smart said. “I should have told coach I didn’t want to come out. It’s a tough one to take. It didn’t matter how I felt, I wasn’t throwing in the ninth like I should have been.” Texas' pitching dominated in its other two victories. Starters Albert Montes and Jake Fence threw complete games Saturday and yesterday, respectively. The Jayhawks could muster only eight singles off Montes in Saturday's 6-2 defeat. The Longhorns rouged up Kansas starter Jake Wright for five runs in two innings in their 6-3 victory yesterday. Once again, the Jayhawks came up short on a late-inning rally, but a base-running blunder by Gremminger cost Kansas. With one out, Wheeler singled in John Nelson, but Gremminger, who was on first, attempted to move to third on the play. Gremminger slid into third safely, but slid over and past the bag and was tagged out by Brooks. "There was some miscommunication there," Gremminger said. "It looked like coach was waving me home, and I thought that maybe the ball got through the outfielder's legs. I slid date and slid past the bag." Kansas returns to action at 7 p.m. Wednesday at home with a nonconference game against Wichita State. — Edited by Courtney Craigmile HU Friday Texas 001 120 006 - 10 10 3 Kansas 000 040 010 - 5 6 3 WP.

The first varsity eight boat failed to pull ahead in its morning race but joined the winner's circle in the afternoon session. Photo by Matt Daugherty/KANSAN sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Smoke was on the water at Clinton Lake this weekend as the Kansas women's rowing team dominated its lone home regatta of the season. The Jayhawks raced against Indiana, Iowa, Kansas State, Massachusetts and Tulsa, winning five of their seven morning races and six of their seven afternoon races on Saturday. They kept things moving yesterday as well, taking four of their final six races. "We really showed our depth this weekend," Kansas coach Rob Catloth said. "We raced really well across the board, which was good to see." What wasn't good was the weather, which proved to be about as hospitable a host as the 'Hawks were to their opponents. Races were delayed an hour Saturday morning because of strong winds, which also forced the course to be shortened from 2,000 meters to 1,500. Milder winds yesterday allowed races to be moved back to original length. the morning hardships were of little distraction to the Jayhawks. During the first session the team won the second varsity eight, first and second novice eight, and varsity and novice four races. All five boats repeated their victories in the afternoon session and were joined by the first varsity eight boat in the winner's circle. Yesterday morning the second varsity eight, first and second novice eight and varsity four added wins to the Jayhawks' weekend pot. Assistant coach Heather Galvin said she was pleased with the whole team's performance, especially the second varsity boat. "That boat has a lot of speed and mental toughness," she said. "They have really nailed it when it comes to putting it all together on race day and just rowed wonderfully." For sophomore coxswain Jasmin Smith, Saturday morning's race proved especially sweet. Rowing against big east coast program Massachusetts and Midwest "We knew how big it was to beat them," she said. "We knew that last 500 was all we had and the girls were willing to fight for that." rival Iowa, the Jayhawks fell back to third early, but kicked it up in the last 500 meters and sprinted past both opponents. "That was the proudest race I've ever raced in my life," she said. "To be behind and not panic and then pull it together to row through UMass and Iowa is just awesome " For sophomore six-seat Jen Van Ruyven, the race was more than just a gratifying performance. It was a personal milestone. Similarly satisfying for the Jayhawks was the performance of their novice boats. The first and second boats each won handily in all three of their races, giving Catloth a pleasing glimpse of days ahead. "Our whole freshman class did great," he said. "Seeing them out there doing as good as they were gives us a lot to be excited about in the future." Catloth said he was also mildly pleased with the improvement of the first varsity eight boat. After the boat struggle last week against Texas, and then lost badly in its first race Saturday, Catloth switched the boat's seating order to try to help give the squad a better rhythm. The boat responded with a win in its second race and a strong but losing performance in its third. Senior seventh seat Ali Brox said she thought the boat showed a steady improvement during the weekend. "We're making progress," she said. "We got three races under our belt this weekend, and I think we got better mentally.

It never failed to either rain, snow or be windy — and she was always there. For 10 years, my mom braved the mid-March Chicago weather to come see me march down Flossmoor Road in the softball parade, the annual event that tipped off opening day festivities. She came to all my games, cheering for me when I was on the Oakland A's, the Philadelphia Phillies or even the dreadful Chicago Cubs. She was team mom for a few years, the one who was in charge of bringing Kool-Aid or fruit to rejuvenate our bodies after our Sunday morning games. not-so-warm weather, not-so polished teams — scary how similar the scenes were. Oddly, it came full-circle yesterday when I went to Shenk Sports Complex to watch my Kansan colleagues compete against Lambda Chi Alpha 2 in the opening day of the slow-pitch softball Intramural league. Darn Daylight Savings Time. The Kansan Sharks devoured — shameless Jaws pun — their opponents. 20-4. Unfortunately, they had to forfeit because of a few players' lack of watch-wearing. Darn Daylight Savings Time. The Sharks' roster of 15 full-time journalists, part-time softball players, didn't strain too many muscles or egos. Most of the plays weren't SportsCenter highlight-reel worthy, but some of the infield plays were more amusing than watching Michigan State get spanked Saturday night. From a lunging first baseman who almost lost his pants, to a bruised third base runner who received a line-drive foul ball smack to the calf, to a Lambda Chi Alpha member actually striking out in slow-pitch, opening day went off without a hitch. The same will probably happen today for the 10 major league teams, including the Royals and my White Sox, that run on to the diamond for the first time this season. Sure, Kansas City, which did own the second best American League Spring Training record at 16-11, will probably get whipped by the Yankees. But for most teams, opening day means a clean slate and a piece of first place. Sorry, but it's the truth that most teams — such as the Royals will never be in the top spot or have a sold-out home crowd again. Not that all of my softball games were sellouts, but our loyal fan base, consisting mainly of parents and less athletically gifted friends, made all the difference. Even in the rain or slumping times, someone was cheering for us. And for one day, every team can feel the love and be like the Yankees, even without having a hot shortstop like Derek Jeter or the pitching wonders of "El Duque." Because really, it's the fans that make opening day memorable, long after injuries and egos subside. So thanks Mom for the support. And, of course, the orange slices.

In April you have a knack. You're trading in your crash helmet for an apron in May. New skills come quickly in June, with help from your friends. They're pushing you to try something more difficult in July. It'll be much easier once you stop resisting. Love is your reward in August, but the honeymoon might not come until December. Save up and make it really transformational. An older person is quite impressed in January, as you rise naturally to the top. Friends cheer you on in February, and they expect the best from you. Friends in March, in your secret hideaway Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8. Your energy is increasing, but you are also very sensitive. You may feel like you're being pushed by forces beyond your control. That's just compassion you're feeling. Go with the flow. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6. Better study up, because you're about to be tested. It's more likely to pertain to your personal life than to business. And although you may have to act quickly, patience is also required. Rely on your experience. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7. The most brilliant idea you've had in a while may have shown up in a dream last night. Can you remember what it was? If you don't, just start writing; it may come to you again. It's about making money. Somebody nearby needs something you can provide, at a profit. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6. You know when to be sweet and when to dig in your heels. That's the dance you'll be doing if you're after a raise. You might get a bonus by tomorrow, on impulse, or make a quick sale. The longer you wait, the worse your odds. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8. Once you've completed the past, you'll be ready for a new adventure. Don't dawdle; it's waiting. This could be a new romance, or the revitalization of an old one. Discuss it over dinner. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5. If you're worried, don't hold it all in. Call up a friend, someone who's far away, and unload. That's not the same as dumping, as you already know. This will make you both feel better. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6. Your mind is more on fun and games than on work, which is not all bad. It's great to have friends with whom to play. Curtail that during working hours, though. The boss isn't getting the joke. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. You should have a pretty good head of steam worked up by now. This is good, because you're about to encounter some resistance. Be ready to report on what you've accomplished, and you won't be delayed for long. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7. You have several options from which to choose. Figure out which one costs the least, and how long it will take. That gives you your answer. Then, go to the beach — in your imagination, at least. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7. Share the burden with a friend whose talents are quite different. You do the planning, and the other person can make it happen. You can hire somebody to get dirty. You can be the brains behind the operation. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6. The trouble may be that you can't decide how much you should spend on your home. Stop thinking you have to carry the entire load. Somebody's willing to help, so let them. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6. This sure is Monday, isn't it? The toughest job on your list is staring you right in the face. But this could prove quite lucrative, so don't despair. Dig in 2 Two people --- Lion MLB CINCINNATI — Ken Griffey Jr.'s pulled hamstring will keep him out of the Cincinnati Reds' opening day lineup. Dancing Girl Griffey dropped from opening day lineup The hamstring injury that Griffey sustained a week ago prevented him from running hard during a workout REDS yesterday and promoted manager Bob Boone to drop his name from the starting lineup. Griffey will be STATUTIVE SYSTEM available to pinch-hit during today's game against the Atlanta Braves. He agreed that it was better to get the hamstring healed rather than risk aggravating it on a cool afternoon. Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only. "If it's going to mean me missing a couple of games, I'd rather do it now than have it like last year," said Griffey, who was bothered by hamstring problems for much of last season. "I'd rather take care of the problem now." Griffey tore the top part of the left hamstring last September. It was sore when he showed up for spring training, but had gotten better by mid-March. He strained the bottom part of the same hamstring while rounding third base in a game last Monday and didn't play again in Florida. Boone didn't immediately announce who would replace Griffey in center field. TAMPA, Fla. — Darryl Strawberry could end up in jail if and when the troubled baseball star surfaces from his latest break from house arrest, authorities said yesterday. Strawberry missing could face jail time A spokeswoman for the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Strawberry, 39, disappeared Thursday night from the residential drug treatment center where he was serving two years of house arrest. The suspended New York Yankee never returned from a drug counseling session to the apartment he shares with a roommate at the facility. Office said prosecutors would push to have Strawberry sent to prison, saying the multiple chances he's had for freedom on the outside have not worked. "We were seeking prison time on his last violation," said Pam Bondi, an assistant state attorney. "We certainly haven't changed our opinion." Yesterday, Joe Papy, the head of the Florida Department of Corrections' regional office, said there still was no word on Strawberry's whereabouts. It was the second time he he's left the facility and the third time he's violated the terms of his 1999 sentence on drug possession and solicitation of prostitution. Strawberry last left the center in October for a drug binge with a friend. But that time, Strawberry turned himself in the next morning. The fact that he has been gone for days now worries those close to him. After Strawberry's October arrest, prosecutors sought to send him to prison, telling Circuit Court Judge Florence Foster that Strawberry was repeatedly violating the breaks that had been given him and had faced no punishment for his actions. LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant, sidelined five games by an ankle injury, returned to the Los Angeles Lakers' lineup yesterday against the New York Knicks, but didn't last long. Kobe Bryant's return ends after first half LOD ANGELES LAKERS the Lakers' 107- 100 loss at Milwaukee on March 21, Bryant didn't score, missing four NBA Bryant, the NBA's third-leading scorer with a 29.2-point average, played nearly 11 1/2 minutes before leaving with the Lakers leading 21-14. He didn't return. SCORPIO Playing for the first time since injuring his ankle in the final minute of Bryant, who teamed with Derek Fisher as a starter in the Lakers' backcourt, received a loud ovation when introduced before the game, but went to the locker room after coming out for the first and only time for treatment. The Lakers announced at halftime he wouldn't return. shots, two from 3-point range. He also had two assists and two personal fouls. "It's not a new injury," Lakers spokesman John Black said. "He gave it his best shot, and couldn't go." The Lakers went 3-2 without Bryant, beating Washington, Sacramento and Dallas and losing to Phoenix and Sacramento. Andre Agassi wallops competition at Ericsson TENNIS KEY BISCAYNE. Fla. — Perhaps the only player at the Ericsson Open who could have given Andre Agassi any difficulty yesterday was watching from the president's box; Rod Laver. Even Laver would have had his hands full, partly because he's 62, and partly because Agassi is playing the best tennis of his life. The latest evidence: a 7-6 (4), 6-1, 6-0 drubbing of Jan-Michael Gambill in the Ericsson final. Agassi has won the three biggest tournaments so far this year. Key Biscayne, Indian Wells two weeks ago and the Australian Open in January. He's the first man to sweep all three since Pete Sampras in 1994, and he's a runaway leader in this year's ATP champions race. "This is a great point to be right now," said Agassi, who heads into the clay court season hoping to make a run at his second French Open title. "I just hope that I continue to be at my best and make somebody play well to beat me and get a little lucky every now and then." The men and women both staged all-American finals for the first time since the inaugural year of the tournament in 1985. Venus Williams overcame eight match points and edged Jennifer Capriati 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4) for the women's title Saturday. GOLF North and Colbert are two-time Legend victors ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Andy North and Jim Colbert successfully defended their Legends of Golf title yesterday, holding off David Graham and Bruce Fleischer by three strokes. North and Colbert shot a 7-under- par 65 in windy conditions for a 20- under 124 total in the best-ball tour nament on The King and The Bear Course at the World Golf Village. Coming off an opening 59 in the event shortened to 36 holes because of rain Friday, North and Colbert birdied three straight holes on the back nine to seal the win. They split $340,000. "Today was really tough," North said. "Because of the wind, the course played hard. When we saw David and Bruce played the front in 6 or 7 under, that got our attention." Graham and Fleisher, who also finished second last year, eagled the par-5 18th for a 62. Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, shot a 69 to finish 11 strokes back at 135. The Associated Press 射 mon.

By John Domoney sports@kansan.com Kansan writerwriter Wales to Lawrence isn't exactly the path most students take to the University of Kansas. It is, however, the journey taken by senior golfer Conrad Roberts, and it has led him to a role as one of the Kansas men's golf team's top guns. Kansas wasn't the university Roberts envisioned himself attending after completing high school in Brecon, Wales, where he lettered in tennis, rugby, soccer, cricket, badminton and swimming. In fact, Roberts was ready to pack his bags and head to Gainesville, Fla. He was set to play golf at the University of Florida after a company in Wales that helps spread the word about European athletes to U.S. college coaches found him a scholarship with the Gators. Florida, however, went back on its scholarship offer and Roberts was left with few options but to attend tiny Bethany College in Lindsborg. After a year at Bethany, Roberts knew he needed a change and an opportunity to perform at the Division I level. He said he approached Kansas coach Ross Randall about playing golf for the Jayhawks. "He gave me a temporary spot on the team and told me I had to prove myself." Roberts said. With some fine tuning, Roberts proved himself after working on his game as a redshirt during the 1997-98 season. Randall thought the extra year helped Roberts adjust to Big 12 Conference golf. As soon as Roberts was allowed to compete in tournaments, he began to show why Randall gave him that chance. Roberts' sophomore campaign culminated in a tie for 20th at the Big 12 Championships and a tie for 159th at the NCAA Championships. That didn't come as a surprise to Randall, who marvels at the accuracy Roberts displays. "Conrad is just a good ball striker who's very good from tee to green," Randall said. "When he plays well he hits the ball dead straight." This year, Roberts has yet to win a tournament, but has claimed two Top 10 finishes, including a tie for second place at the 2000 Topy Cup in Fukushima, Japan. Still, Roberts has his sights set on the NCAA Championships. He's ready to improve on his score of 147 last year, which put him in a tie for 72nd and gave him Kansas' low score for the championship. "I'm starting to think about the end of my career here at KU more" "Conrad is just a good ball striker who's very good from tee to green." and more," Roberts said. "I would love to win a tournament before I finish." Roberts will get another chance for a victory today and tomorrow as the Jayhawks travel to Santa Cruz, Calif. The 'Hawks will play in the 55th Western Intercollegiate, where Roberts struggled last year and finished with a disappointing score of 223. Roberts hopes this year's tournament will be different after a season that he describes as a mixture of ups and downs. Either way, the future looks bright for Roberts, who intends to continue his golfing career and join a tour after his wife completes law school. "I'm going to play in a small amount of tournaments, but I won't join a team until she's done and gets a job." Roberts said. "Till just play in state tournaments like Kansas and Nebraska and proams."

KANSAS TENNIS The 'Hawks (10-7 overall and 4-4 in the Big 12 Conference) took the doubles point to open the match but were unable to secure wins in their top three singles matches. Kansas coach Kilmeny Waterman was surprised by the singles losses. "Losing at the top three singles positions is very unusual for us and that obviously hurt," Waterman said. "I was shocked because we have come through in the past." Lisa Malliaiah and Emily Haylock emerged as the only two victorious 'Hawks singles players against Colorado (8-8 and 3-3). Malliaiah earned a three-set victory at the No. 4 singles position, rebounding from a first-set loss to defeat Morgan Sall 1.6-6,0-6.1. Haylock was victorious in doubles play as well, teaming up with Monica Sekulov to defeat Lia Dimingo and Suzanne Bjorkman 8-4 at the No.2 doubles slot. Courtney Steinbock and Kristen Steinbock were also victorious as they defeated Karoline Graeubig and Sall 8-2 at the No.1 doubles position. Monica Sekulov, the Jayhawks' top singles player, said the outdoor conditions had an effect on both teams. "We have not been able to play outside much, which probably hurt us," Sekulov said. "I didn't feel like I was hitting the ball very well." The 'Hawks, ranked No. 45 nationally, are competing for a spot in the Central Region Tournament with only five matches remaining. "This loss really hurt us, but a lot can happen in the remainder of the season." Waterman said. Still, Waterman said she has been happy with her team's performance thus far in the season. Sekulov also thought there were some areas that needed work entering the final six matches of the season. "We need to work on our focus and the way we start our matches." Sekulov said. "We finish well, so beginning strongly is important." "This has been our first unexpected loss of the season," Waterman said. "Hopefully this loss will serve as a positive wake-up call for this team and magnify some of the things we need to work on." The Jayhawks will play Kansas State at 1 p.m. Sunday at Alvamar Racquet Club.

As for unreleased material from the Garden shows, Springsteen said it could turn up in a future DVD release. He cited an absolutely stunning version of "Blood Brothers," the band-as-brothers song that closed out the final Garden show. Springsteen had more good news for his audience: The tour marked a new beginning in his collaboration with the band. They have already enjoyed "a good weekend" in the studio working on new material, he said. NEW YORK - It was last June when Bruce Springsteen walked into a rehearsal with his reunited E Street Band. Guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt was sitting with the newspapers. Springsteen was front-page news. Diallo died in a hall of 41 police bullets, a number that provides the song's haunting introduction. Springsteen specifically wrote a new verse for the song on the afternoon of the show "American Skin," a new Springteen song inspired by the police shooting of Amadou Diallo, had inspired insults from New York police officials and a call for cops to boycott the Boss' Madison Square Garden concerts. I will look for the text in the image. the performance is one of the centerpieces of the New Jersey rocker's latest projects, the double CD Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band: Live in New York City and an accompanying HBO special. The record is in stores tomorrow; the special debuts Saturday. The cable show, the first ever Springsteen E Street concert to hit television, was a bit of a happy accident. Springsteen said he had long intended to videotape his live performances, but never got around to it. Finally, for the last two shows at the Garden, the tape started rolling. Boss and band back with new live album THEY SAY THIS NEW FILLER'S CHEAPER THAN FOAM CHIPS! "The commentary seemed ... well, it wasn't particularly thought out," Springsteen said. "I was surprised at the push-button demagogy which immediately pops up. You become the ride for a few days. I wasn't expecting it." The Associated Press Springsteen performed the song each night of the 10-night Garden stand - most often to loud cheers from his loyal audience. He also met backstage with Diallo's parents - "very, very gracious people," he said. "Very lovely." "Oooooh," he said when asked about that performance. "Up there on the last night, the feeling was pretty strong. It was the last night - what could I say?"

Notre Dame trailed by 12 points in the first half and was down 66-64 with a little more than a minute to play when Riley, the team's unanimous All-American and national player of the year, came through The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Notre Dame pulled off yet another comeback, this one for the biggest prize of all. NCAA Women's basketball Championship 68 PURDUE VS. 66 First, she scored in the lane to tie it at 66 with 1:01 remaining. Then, she rebounded a miss by Purdue's Shereka Wright, enabling the Irish to set up a late shot. They got the ball to Riley, and she was fouled by Wright. She made the first throw, returned to the line after a Purdue timeout and calmly made the second. Purdue's All-American, Katie Douglas, missed an 18-foot shot at the buzzer, the ball hitting the front of the rim and bouncing off the backboard as the game ended, touching off a wild celebration at Riley, who had only one point in the first 8-23, finished with 28 to lead all scorers and grabbed 13 rebounds. Erika Haney, St. Louis native Niele Ivey and Kelley Siemon also scored in double figures for the Irish. In the first one, the Irish were just happy to be there. They came determined to win this time after being ranked No. 1 for five weeks this season — and they got it done. So now add the names Muffet McGraw, Riley and Ivey to those of Rocke, Leahy and Montana in Notre Dame's rich athletic lore. The title came in McGraw's 14th season as coach and in her second trip to the Final Four. She also got Notre Dame there in 1997. center court by Notre Dame. Haney finished with 13 points for Notre Dame, Ivey scored 12 and Siemon had 10. When the going gets tough, Arizona gets going The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — The Arizona Wildcats are coffee beans, definitely coffee beans. In a parable team leader Eugene Edgerson used to inspire the players, a coffee bean grows richer and stronger ARIZONA WILDCATS when thrown in boiling water. The Wildcats are on the brink of a national championship after enduring a season of sorrow. The coach's wife died, and the basketball office secretary was diagnosed with a brain tumor. There were problems on the court, too; the star center was suspended for six It was no surprise this assemblage of remarkable talent was the preseason No. 1. All five starters were nominated for the John Wooden player of the year award. "This year, I've learned more about life than I have about basketball," said reserve forward Justin Wessel. Their preseason cockiness is gone now, replaced by a cool confidence born of adversity. They play Duke for the title tonight. "We have such a calm about us," said junior forward Richard Jefferson. "We've been through everything we could possibly go through." accepting improper benefits from a family friend. Jefferson was suspended for one game for accepting a plane ticket to San Diego and a ticket to Game 7 of the NBA Finals from Bill Walton, whose son Luke is Jefferson's best friend. During the Christmas holidays, basketball secretary Monica Armenta had a seizure as a result of a brain tumor. Then, on Jan. 1, Bobbi Olson died of ovarian cancer. Her death shook the team, then fueled its run toward the title. "That her spirit is affecting the team is obvious," Olson said.

The 24-member crew is still in Chinese custody. CHINA N 100 km LINGSHUI, HAINAN CHINA 100 km LINGSHUI, HAINAN Kyle Ramsev/KANSAN KU graduate pilot in crash still in China By J. R. Mendoza editor @kansan.com Kansas wiki editor LINGSHUI, China — A University of Kansas graduate is among 24 Americans confined to a military base on a tropical Chinese island. Three days after a collision with a Chinese plane, they are still out of contact, but American diplomats are heading to the site. Lt. Junior Grade Jeff Vignery graduated in 1997 with a bachelor of science degree in business. He participated in the Navy ROTC program, and his mother, Judi Vignery, said her son received a Navy commission after graduation and had since served as a pilot. Vignery said her son had been making flights in a Navy EP-3 surveillance plane, the type involved in Sunday's collision. "He was one of three pilots on the plane," she said. "We don't know who was flying." Vignery, 27, is one of the crew members being held on the island of Hainan, 2,700 miles south of Beijing. He is originally from Goodland, where his parents live, and his wife lives in the Dodge City area. In a tense standoff with China yesterday, President George W. Bush demanded the prompt return of the 24 crew members and their crippled plane "without further damaging or tampering." China said there would be no access at least until today. The emergency landing of the turboprop EP3 surveillance plane on Hainan after its collision with the Chinese fighter jet early Sunday brought a new chill to already frosty U.S.-Chinese relations. U. S. Ambassador Joseph Prueher said American officials were being denied contact with the crew. But Mary Ellen Countryman, a White House representative, said she had no confirmation that they boarded the plane. A The crew, in one of its last communications from the plane, told U.S. authorities the aircraft was being boarded by the Chinese, a senior U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. In Washington, U.S. officials said the United States was keeping three Navy destroyers in the vicinity of Hainan. After discussing the incident with his national security team, Bush said he was dismayed that diplomats had not been given access to the crew. Chinese leaders appeared to be trying to decide on a response. Beijing issued no new information after a statement Sunday blaming the collision on the U.S. plane.

Edited by Leita Schultes Tunnel of oppression [Image of two men in a dimly lit room, one man is shaking the other's shoulder.] An Oppressive force, Lyle Dohl, Sylvan Grove senior, corrals people down a hallway and into a small room representing a concentration camp. He said he wanted people to realize that this really happened to people and to know how it might have felt. The Tunnel of Oppression will continue from 2 to 5 p.m. today and from 4 to 7 p.m. tomorrow on the first floor of Hashinger Hall. Photo by Selena Jabara/KANSAN Program stirs emotion Students experience effects of oppression By Danny Phillips writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer T he students aren't allowed to speak as they walk single file down the narrow corridor. In a flash, a man with a swastika arm band appears and begins shouting at the students in German, pushing them violently into a dark room and closing the door behind them. Cramped and quiet, the 15-person group waits restlessly until the door opens. "Come with me," says Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs. Everyone does as he says. Now, the students have a taste of what it was like during the Holocaust. The simulation was part of the Tunnel of Oppression, an explicit interactive program that will continue on the first floor of Hashinger Hall until Wednesday. "The gas chamber scene was very overwhelming," said Sheri Johnson. Shawnee junior. She said she knew what was going on when she saw the arm band, and she tried to visualize how it must have felt for concentration camp prisoners. During the walk through the tunnel, the participants were exposed to simulated oppression of all kinds — dealing with racism, sexism and homophobia, among other forms of oppression. Audio, video and volunteer actors and guides added variety to the program. For example, radios blared words like "honkey" and "slut," and a boyfriend yelled obscenities at his girlfriend, grabbing her neck and then shoving her back into a room. For Marisa Moreno, Wichita senior, that scene was especially disturbing. "I'm glad that was at the very end," she said. "I almost started criving at that point." Moreno said the program showed how anyone could experience oppression. "It showed how widespread it really is," she said. After the 10-minute walk through the tunnel, the participants were taken to a debriefing room, where a counselor from KU's Counseling and Psychological Services opened up dialogue about how the students felt about the tunnel. Irad Orduna, Pomona, Calif., senior, said he related to the scene in the movie Higher Learning that was shown at the beginning of the walk through. It showed a White woman riding in an elevator. She got nervous when an African-American man entered the elevator, prompting her to move her purse to the other side of her body. Orduna said late one night on campus he was walking down the sidewalk and noticed a Tunnel of Oppression Where: Hashinger Hall's first floor When: 2 to 5 p.m. today, 4 to 7 amorrow Cost: the event is free, and every one is welcome to participate p. m. tomorrow Cost; the event is free, and every- woman approaching him.

"She made an incredible effort to get out of the way." he said.

Candidates examine spending Coalitions debate merit of campaign financing By Brooke Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer — Edited by Brandy Straw Campaign financing isn't just a hot topic on Capitol Hill — Student Senate elections can also be costly, running up to thousands of dollars. Campaign spending limits were lifted in 1999, allowing coalitions to spend as much as they can raise. Previously, coalitions could only spend $2,000 for all candidates, and independent candidates could only spend $200. According to elections commission records, Delta Force had spent $696.51 and the VOICE coalition had spent $2,095.35 as of March 14. Justin Mills said he is in favor of campaign spending limits. He said Delta Force did not plan to exceed $1,500 for the campaign. Mills said not having as much money as V O I C E could be a disadvantage. "Our campaign is really low-budget," he said. "We are at a disadvantage because we can't KU VOICE Make Yours Heart FORCE afford the glossy posters and the nice buttons." Mills said most of the money the coalition raised was from candidates and from the Delta Force kick-off party. Likewise, Jessica Bankston,VOICE presidential candidate, said most of the money VOICE was using came from candidates and other students helping with the campaign. Coalitions and candidates can sign an optional spending limit form stating that coalitions will only spend $2,000, and independent candidates will only spend $200. This form was also available last year. However, nobody has ever signed the form. Mills said the form didn't mean anything, so Delta Force would not sim it. Bankston said VOICE wouldn't sign it because additional expenses might pop up. She said the group already paid for the reprinting of buttons and posters because of errors. Hunter Harris, VOICE vice presidential candidate, said the coalition tried to keep costs low. Bankston and Harris said Senate campaigns required a lot of money because candidates were trying to reach out to the CAMPAIGN SPENDING 2001 campaign Delta Force: $696.51 VOICE: $2.095.35 2000 campaign Delta Force: $1,757 Students First: $4,067 United Students: $2,974 Sources: Rebecca Alway, Elections Commission undergraduate representative. Figures for the 2001 campaign include spending through March 14. More information For more Senate election news, See page 3A whole campus. Kyle Browning, Delta Force vice presidential candidate, said he agreed that it was difficult to reach students but said he didn't like gimmicks past coalitions had used. He said he didn't like the fact that doughnuts were given out and people were bussed to classes during previous elections seasons. "It shows the difference in campaign philosophies," he said. "We're running a very grass roots campaign, and we run on the issues. I think things like that totally cheapen the process. It makes it more of a popularity contest." Bankston said VOICE members hadn't decided if they would rent a bus. She said it depended on whether the coalition had money left over, and if someone was willing to donate a bus. "Just because you give somebody a ride to class doesn't mean that they're going to stand in line 10 minutes to vote, and it certainly doesn't mean they're going to vote for you," she said. Browning said he was in favor of spending limits. "It makes sense," he said. "If you consistently spend so much money, it begs the question, 'Are you buying the election?' " Dustin Johnson, elections commissioner and Lawrence resident, said the money spent in this year's elections paled in comparison to last year's spending. Campaign spending limits were abolished in July of 1999 when Ben Walker, current student body president, who ran with the YOU coalition for a Senate seat in 1999, appealed a fine levied against the coalition for exceeding spending limits. Walker said his First Amendment rights were violated by the spending limit and the University Judicial Board agreed. Edited by Megan Phelps Minority greek system emphasizes cultural unity Chapters offer students alternative greek option By Cynthia Malakasi writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer When Alexander Morales came to the University of Kansas in 1996, he was appointed that he couldn't join a fraternity geared toward his culture. But after three years of development and organization, the Kansas City, Mo. senior, and three other Hispanic students started a local chapter of Sigma Lambda Beta, a national Hispanic fraternity. Morales said his goal was to promote unity among Latino men on campus. "We felt like a smaller organization would benefit our community better," he said. The University has 10 minority Greek organizations, and members said their structure and focus was different than traditional Greek houses, because they were separate entities. But they also said this was the first year in which more communication and joint projects between the two greek systems had been attempted. Christopher Haydel, Philadelphia senior and president of Alpha Phi Alpha, a historically African-American fraternity, said the development of separate minority chapters was triggered by the U.S. social climate during the early 1900s. "Integration wasn't an option back then," Haydel said. "It wasn't an option back in the 1960s either." Altitude minority students now can become members of traditionally White houses, the two organizations will remain separate branches of the greek system, said Enjoli Dixon, student senator for "There are historically Black and Hispanic, and historically White chapters," she said. "We're starting to learn about each other's organizations. It's going to take time." National Panhellenic Council, the body that oversees minority Greek chapters. But that doesn't mean there won't be more joint projects in the future, she said. Hillary Dunn, vice president of public "It's a retreat that you go to and break different stereotypes of houses," she said. Dixon said members from both groups would go on a retreat in November, called "Greek Endeavor." relations for the Panhellenic Association, the organization that oversees historically White sororites, agreed with Dixon. "We feel that working together is going to be very beneficial to all our programs," the Dallas senior said. "And we think it will probably encourage attendance." This year is also the first time the two groups participated in each other's community service programs. Haydel said cooperation would improve NPHC community service projects, which are the focus of minority Greek chapters.

NATION FAA investigates cause of jet crash in Aspen ASPEN, Colo. — The Federal Aviation Administration launched an investigation into why a warning against nighttime bad-weather landings at the Aspen airport apparently never reached the tower before the crash of an executive jet that left 18 people dead. The FAA warning, issued two days before Thursday's crash, said planes should be banned from making night instrument landings at the airport, where pilots are forced to make a steep descent to a single runway surrounded by mountains. Air traffic controllers apparently did not receive the warning and gave the charter pilot permission for an instrument landing Thursday in light snow.

Tuesday, April 3, 2001 The University Daily Kansan --- Section A · Page 3 Senate to announce results at Union Coalitions to go to own parties By Brooke Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer When Student Senate election results come in this year, the first announcement will be made at the Kansas Union, but neither presidential nor vice presidential candidates from Delta Force nor VOICE will be in attendance. The elections commission is sponsoring the event at the Union. The announcement of the results will be made about 10 p.m. Thursday, April 12, at the English Room in the Kansas Union. Students are invited to attend. However,VOICE and Delta Force presidential and vice presidential candidates have declined. "The commission wanted to provide a little more of a formal announcement," said Dustin Johnson, elections commissioner. Delta Force andVOICE candidates will both attend their respective coalition parties the night results are announced. However,VOICE and Delta Force may send representatives to the event. Justin Mills, Delta Force presidential candidate, said he wanted to hear the results with his fellow candidates at the Delta Force party. "It's a big tradition," Mills said. "We all want to be there together and support each other when the results come in." Mills added that the event at the Union would make for an awkward situation — with the winning presidential and vice presidential candidate shaking hands with the losing ones. Bankston agreed. She said she knew from previous experience that emotions ran high on elections night. Johnson said he didn't understand the reasoning behind that logic. "I think we're all adults here at the University," Johnson said. "If I were a candidate, I would want the opportunity to be there." Johnson said the commission wanted to include students who might not feel comfortable attending coalition parties, which were usually held at establishments that served alcohol. Delta Force hasn't yet decided where its party will be. VOICE's party will be at the Tee Pee in North Lawrence. "I'm of the opinion that Student Senate elections should include everyone," Johnson said. Kyle Browning, Delta Force vice president candidate, said. he thought the ceremony wasn't a good idea. "You spend all this time working with these people, and you want to spend elections night with them," he said. "That's not the way any election — state or national — works. You spend that night at your victory party." Hunter Harris,VOICE vice presidential candidate, expressed similar sentiments. "I feel like we need to be with our candidates," Harris said. "If they win, I want to be there to celebrate with them, and if they lose, I want to be there to console them." The commission was going to sponsor a similar event last year, Johnson said, but all the candidates declined the invitation. He said the commission originally thought the candidates would attend when the event was scheduled. Edited by Jason McKee On-campus day care teaches students, kids A boy throws a ball.

Hartstock and the other GTAs supervise the 29 undergraduate students in the program and the 31 children in the Educare programs. Before starting their practicum, undergraduate students shadow the GTAs. "The coolest thing is, we teach their practicum while we teach these children." Hartsock said. "They learn very quickly," Teri Varuska, Educare I and II coordinator said. "They have a day or two of training before the semester starts." The day care centers for children ages 3 months to 6 years consist of the Sunnyside Infants, the Sunnyside Toddler and Educare I. The program is used for undergraduate students to complete their practicum requirements and to do research, said Dale Walker, faculty director of the preschool and infant-toddler program. The day care facilities are used for research and training for students in early childhood education. Graduate students and faculty also conduct research in child development using these programs. Typically, students in the program start the practicum in their junior years. Walker said students participate in two or three practica, depending on the the program. The practicum is a certification program that licenses students to teach young children and perform child care until the preschool or kindergarten level, Walker said. For Becky Blizzard, Overland Park, senior, the best part of the program was the kids she worked with. "I like to help them learn and watch them develop and grow up," Blizzard said. "I get to be a mom without the responsibility. They're my kids." Jan Sheldon, director of the She said these programs cost more than Educare because it is more expensive to care for infants and the larger staff needed for the toddler program. early childhood programs, said the Sunnyside Infant Program costs parents $480 per month and the Sunnyside Toddler program costs $450 per month. The Educare program is open to anyone and costs from $315 to $370 a month, depending on the income of the household that the child lives in, Veruska said. Veruska said the programs use the waiting list for the best use of the class, filling openings with what ages and gender the class lacks. To enter both programs, parents must fill out applications for their children. The names of the children are placed on a waiting list. "We maintain a waiting list and fill according to the needs of the classroom," she said. "We fill openings in Sunnyside based on our educational, research and service needs, including the fact that we have tried to reserve approximately one-third of our enrollment in Sunnyside for children with special needs." Children of both faculty and Lawrence residents use the facilities, which Walker said created a good blend of backgrounds and personalities. "It serves a diverse group of children, in terms of racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as children with and without disabilities," she said. Stacie Kirk, Lawrence graduate student, said the centers tried to incorporate learning into activities the kids do, such as coloring, learning numbers and pre-literacy skills. "We just really capitalize on what the child is interested in and use that as a learning experience," she said. Those are among the skills the centers try to teach the children to prepare them for school, Hartstock said. "We try to give them all the basics before they go to kindergarten," she said. Hartocks said she liked making an impact on the children. "Knowing we make a difference at the end of the day when we hear the 'I love you' and get hugs," she said. Edited by Brandy Straw School violence causes future teachers to worry By Lauren Brandenburg writer@kansan.com Kansan still writer Tracy Lucas joked with friends recently about wanting a bulletproof vest for protection when she graduates with her degree in education. Lucas, Wichita junior, said the number of threats and acts of school violence didn't bother her in the past, but they did now. A high school sophomore was shot and killed Friday outside a high school in Gary, Ind. A former student at the school is accused of the shooting. Outside San Diego, Calif., two students were killed and 13 wounded at Santana High School less than a month ago. But threats of school violence have also hit home in Lawrence. A student last week found a note in the bathroom at Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive, that threatened violence, said Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Patrick. The note had no time frame and did not target specific individuals or groups of people or specify what kind of violence, he said. Only about two weeks before, graffiti that threatened violence was found on a bathroom wall at Southwest Junior High, Pattrick said. He also mentioned a recent incident at Pinckney Elementary in which a student said he would bring a gun to school the next day. Patrick said the threats seem to be taken more seriously after two students opened fire and killed 12 students and a teacher in the spring of 1999 at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. In the wake of the numerous threats, both at Lawrence schools and around the nation, Lucas said she had to reconsider whether she really wanted to teach. She decided she did. "There is a risk in anything you do." Lucas said. She said she is not too worried about school violence because she plans to teach children in third grade and younger. Natalie Morrell, Beloit sophomore, said she was not as scared for her safety because she wanted to teach younger grades in a small town. She is concerned, she said, that the students threatening and committing violence at schools seem to be getting younger. She said she cannot keep the incidents straight because so many have occurred. "They kind of all blend together, but it seems like they're in the bigger schools," she said. "But it sounds like some are coming to the smaller schools." Mona Ahmed, a Lawrence senior who plans to teach kindergarten through third grade, said she had recently become concerned that elementary schools were part of the trend but that she was more worried about her son's safety. Her son is four years old and attends preschool inside an elementary school. "I'm more scared for him than myself." Ahmed said. But she said some of the violence was not surprising after so many children have been repeatedly mistreated and picked on throughout their school years. "I think a lot of it could be avoided if teachers and parents paid more attention to kids," she said. Edited by Sydney Wallace Continued from page 1A Common backgrounds help form strong bonds "We're supposed to be servants to the community," he said. "The more connections we have, it's easier to have the resources to put together community service projects." Haydel said besides focusing on community service, minority chapters differed from "traditional" greek chapters because they were smaller and their members had distinct cultural and ethnic bonds. He said his chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha, had 11 members, which is similar to most NPHC chapters. Although their membership is limited, which keeps them from getting enough money to house their chapters, Haydel said the unity of the organizations and the bonds "We know each other on a personal level," he said. "It's very easy to keep contact because we're friends." between their members was unhindered. Common backgrounds may form the strongest link among members of minority chapters, but some minority students have chosen to join houses that don't cater to specific groups. Sarah Osbern, Alpha sophomore and member of Piper Delta Pi, said because she grew up in a predominantly White town, she felt more comfortable in a "traditional" sorority even though she was Hispanic. "I just wanted something that fit more with my personality, rather than with my culture or race," she said. --- Edited by Jacob Roddy Over 10 toppings to choose from!!!

Well, two out of three ain't bad. Considering I'm in my mid-20s, you might find it hard to believe that until recently, I had never had my heart broken. My male friends and I don't usually, of course, ever talk in those terms. We've got our infallible, macho eos to nurture. We try to convince ourselves that being single has several benefits. It's healthy to date other people. We too young to be in a serious relationship. Won't have to deal with the ex-girlfriend's crazy female hormones. The passion has ebbed, and it is time to move on. (There's never too much passion, by the way of heat that you admit, at least until you — at least that men admit, at least until you're older than I am.) PETER BROWN One of my weaknesses (and strengthens) is that I have a sensitive side that's often way too sensitive. To overcompensate for this, I often refrain from placing myself in front of the relationship steamroller. I rarely ask a girl out, unless it's very apparent she's interested. I bail out of relationships as soon as I get into them. I never emotionally commit. (Women love to harp Ryan Dolan columnist opinion@kansan.com That's not to say I haven't had mad crushes before upon which I've acted. In the past, I've been somewhat infamous for them among my friends. But it's easy to cultivate lust and pine about some woman, who in most cases is unattainable usually because of: 1) practical reasons, or 2) the fawning, idiosyncra and the wobbly Lincoln-Logs pedestal you've constructed for her. at that one.) I let companionship and physical intimacy compensate for my impenetrable soul. Recently, however, I developed a relationship unlike any I had before. Her name is Mary, and she has all the virtuous qualities listed above. In addition, Mary has an energy and depth that touched and lifted me in a way I did not think possible. She reached and grabbed my perspective on life with a tender grasp and shook it so violently that I came tumbling apart. For better or worse, I have high standards for what I want in a woman. Good looks, an intelligence to rival my own, a little sass, and the ability to laugh or at least pander to my bizarre sense of humor. She didn't believe in the labels and limitations in which I trapped myself, in which we all trap ourselves. We constantly are analyzing what's wrong with us instead of what's right. We're lazy, fat, slow and stupid. We're sick, mean, dumb and gullible. We're hairy, balding and smelly. We can't do, can't try and can't be. We warp our minds into not believing in our abilities or our ability to perserve, and thus keeps us from pursuing our true interests and pleasures. By the time I realized the fear that she'd leave me would actually drive her away, it was too late. Mary believes in two simple words: love and truth. She believed in me and I did not. And this was our downfall — or more accurately, my downfall I've tried many things to win her back. Flowers, arguing, yelling (big mistake), desperate phone calls and passionate e-mails. All were in vain. Emotional manipulation carries you only so far. I'm left crushed and sorrowful. She's the only woman who's left me tearful because of her absence. We're friends now. I am sure if Dante w as alive today, being a "friend" would be on a level of Hell all its own. It would be a diner full of miserable wretches such as myself, a broken air conditioner and crappy service. The jukebox would play "Unchained Melody" continuously, save for occasional rolling black out. You would be left with your memories, a cold cup of coffee and an empty booth staring at you from across the table. The only thing I have left to give Mary is space and time. I have to use my sorrow and pain, and the lessons of her love, to give to others. Otherwise, the lesson is lost, and so is our relationship, or any relationship that emerges from the mud of pain, hope and desire.

Source: Harper's Index Perspective Helping homeless people means care, not cardboard There's a new craze on campus, and believe it or not, but it doesn't involve Abercrombie and Fitch. It involves impersonating homeless people. Student organizations are staging sleepouts in the community to raise money and awareness of homelessness. I think that it is a great idea to raise money for those in need, but do we really need to impersonate them? About 10 years ago, Chicago TV journalist Walter Jacobson pulled off a similar stunt. For more than a week, Jacobson shed his trademark suspenders, stepped away from the cameras and lived on the streets as a homeless person. Some praised; most criticized. Aside from it being labeled as a cheap publicity stunt, Jacobson was filleted by MARK BALDIN Ben Tatar columnist opinion@kansan.com different groups for mocking those in need. The difference between being homeless and being an impersonator isn't just having a roof over one's head. Most homeless people are, generally speaking, mentally ill. Jacobson isn't. Most homeless people aren't homeless by choice. Jacobson was. Most importantly, the homeless don't have a finish line or a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. Jacobson did. Not having a home or keeping warm is barely half of the battle. I removed one of these fliers from a bulletin board, absolutely furious. Who reminds the homeless to bring pillows and flashlights? And as long as the filer stereotyped their bedding, why don't they remind people to wear older clothes? Why didn't they remind people to smear dirt on their faces? A flier recently posted around campus to promote a sleepout reminds students: "Don't forget cardboard, sleeping bags, pillows and a flashlight." Dec. 25 means relatively little to me; I'm Jewish. And when you're Jewish, Dec. 25 means everything is closed. Starting in high school and extending through some of college myself and some friends back home decided to begin making Dec. 25 special. We would spend a few hours in the evening putting together packages of leftover food, boxes of crackers, some clothing and other items we could do without, and we piled it into a car. We then headed to lower Wacker Drive in downtown Chicago, where many of Chicago's homeless seek refuge, and proceeded to make their Dec. 25 more special by giving them food, clothing and our wishes. What we did for those people in less than five minutes did more than if we had decided to imitate them for an evening. It had a direct effect on the homeless and it didn't offend. Moreover, nobody needed to see us doing it for us to make a difference or for it to count During my five years at the University of Kansas, I have spent some of my mornings at Jubilee Cafe. This is a great way for students and community members allie to get involved and reach out to Lawrence's homeless. Again, it has a direct effect on them and doesn't involve mockery. We students can't begin to imagine what it's like to be homeless. Day after day we can return to our cozy apartments and stocked wardrobes and pantries, often taking all that we have for granted. For us to shed these luxuries for a day or two at a time to impersonate homeless people is offensive. There is too much that we cannot possibly understand, nor should we have to mock it to raise money for it. If we can do this for the homeless, then how can we raise money for other groups in need? Should we impersonate physically ill people? How about those with multiple sclerosis? Do drunk driving accidents deserve re-enacts to raise funds for alcohol awareness? Let's continue to raise money for good causes, but let's improve how it is done. Pushing students into the cold with pillows and flashlights is worthless and borderline offensive. These people's hearts are surely in the right place, but their tactics lack tact. Tatar is a Highland Park, III, senior in music education. Editorial Constituency bill too weak to be effective Senators should pass a bill requiring, not suggesting better representation. Student Senate recently approved a bill stating student senators are expected to meet with groups from their constituencies. The bill makes student senators look as if they care about the people they're elected to represent. Unfortunately for those students who may be looking forward to actually meeting their representatives in person, the bill is not likely to have much impact. That's because the bill has no bite. The language of the bill suggests that meeting with constituents in compliance with Senate's Outreach Board is required of each senator. The bill, however, stops short of enforcing the outreach program with any punishment for those who do not comply In addition to the constituency bill, Student Senate finally implemented punishment for senators who neglect their office hours. The fact that a separate bill now has to be passed just to coerce senators into their own office indicates that many senators have problems fulfilling the burdens that they have on them now. It now seems unlikely that the new bill will spur any change in relations between senators and those who they represent. Clearly, Student Senate exists for the student body. Reaching out to students would help students communicate issues that they think Senate should take on. It would also help senators stay on top of student concerns. Ideally, this bill should improve student-representative relations, but has little chance to do so in the watered-down form in which it was adopted. Student senators should go one step further and adopt an enforcement provision that calls for disciplinary action if the representatives fail to comply with the bill. Senate's Web site calls for student involvement and continuing Senate's "tradition of making the student body's voice heard." It's disappointing, however, that some senators just aren't willing to take the extra steps to accomplish those goals.

And if so, how does he justify this as funny? Has the frequency of violent acts against women numbed us to the fact that these occurrences are not a joke but a daily concern and fear that women must live with, that women must survive? It is a completely unfortunate fact that women are most often the victims and men the most common perpetrators of this violence, yet it is a fact. And downplaying this fact by saying "So I would avoid males at all costs" demeans the real and immediate concerns of all women: all humans. Not only do women have to take precautions daily to protect themselves from real threats of physical violence, but they also have to deal with the onslaught of stereotypes and expectations in our society of what it is to "be a woman" — which you, Mr. Willis, uphold so well in your article. Is it a coincidence that your chose a woman to be "beaten with an ugly stick"? Is it a coincidence that most social images of women stand up to an unhealthy norm of "beautiful" and that women are the most common victims of image-related illnesses? You may have been trying to be funny, but please in the future realize it's only respectful to parody situations that you fully understand first; otherwise you may not understand the full impact of what you are saying. Julie DePaww Julie DePauw St. Louis senior Story depicts women negatively In yesterday's April Fools' issue, there was an article titled "Woman beaten with ugly stick." This article became the topic in my women's studies class as we struggled to figure out its purpose and whether it was a joke. Personally, I was extremely offended. The article puts women in a position of inferiority and self-concern as it questions what happens to women if their looks are less than pleasing or under par or how the article states — "ugly." Attitudes of women being beaten with ugly sticks or just being beaten at all tells the reader that first, a woman must be pretty to be safe or taken seriously and second, if anyone is going to be beaten, it will be a woman. As if we women don't have to worry about the social stigma of being pretty already. I can assure you that any women who read the article who already had a negative self-image did not react with laughter or concern to this article. Ideas and publications such as these are a major concern to our society as a whole if we want to change the aspect of women by giving them more equality in an already male-dominated society. Women deserve equal pav Dave Braham Houston senior Achieving fair pay for women continues to be a struggle for America. The problem is complex. Sometimes women do not receive equal pay for doing the same job as their male counterparts. Because socialization is not free from sex bias, we continue to wrestle with stereotypes about women — including what kind of work is appropriate and the importance of their jobs. Even if they are equal in value, women's jobs pay less. The Institute for Women's Policy Research found the wage gap in to be 70.2 percent, meaning women receive only 70 cents for every dollar men make in positions of comparable skill and responsibility. Nationally, the Census Bureau reports that the average woman earns just 72 cents compared with the average man's dollar. Although many believe that women's equality has been achieved, there are still unnecessary and unjust barriers women must face to achieve success. To find out more about pay inequity, come to the Union to participate in Equal Pay Day today. Economic equity is an issue that affects all of us. Working together, we can ensure that all Americans get the respect that comes with a fair paycheck. Amy Price Lawrence senior Berkeley Flats ignoring tenants Thank you for taking the time to cover the cable issue at Berkeley Flats Apartments ("Berkeley Flats tenants mad about cable dispute," March 16). I'd have appreciated a more critical assessment of the Nolan Estates Services representative that said "the management wanted to keep its residents happy and would be more willing to talk with residents and address their concerns." If Berkely Flats management has concern for its tenants, as stated, why did it take four months for them to respond to 21 tenants who, as a group, presented a civil and reasonable request in writing? Apparently, they did not care for the tenants, as they neglected the fundamental issue, which the tenants must now accrue an out-of-pocket cable expense. In fact, Nolan management became responsive only after repeated pressure from tenants and their perseverance to deter management's traditional delay and no-response policy. Management's argument of a "direct no rent increase" to concerns regarding cable is inconsequential, for the related 21 tenants who were covered by an existing lease that protected them from a rent increase. Berkeley Flats, regardless of any changes in contractual agreements with Sunflower Cable, was still obligated to its tenants not to indirectly increase the rent. This is why we were upset but not "mad." Berkeley Flats management is now tricking out relief to some tenants, but it is leaving the balance of ignored tenants in a quandary to management's publicly stated concern for them. Raymond duVale Berkeley Flats tenant University rejects minorities You recently published several letters on the racial atmosphere at the University of Kansas and the role of the School of Journalism. The first expressed sorrow with the this atmosphere. As a journalist or KU administrator, I would be deeply concerned because this letter suggests that serious problems are not being appropriately addressed either in the J-School or the KU campus. The second letter appears to defend Kansan coverage of the Black Student Union but did not realize that your reporter reported only hearsa. This is not defensible by his claim that the "Kansan is an amateur newspaper made up of rookies." If this claim is valid, it appears that the J-School is not adequately educating its students and lends credence to claims of racism. The letter by Janice Davis is a public relations statement by a school that has been repeatedly embarrassed for several years for its treatment of minorities on campus. The Kansan has published articles dealing with the University's difficulties with recruiting and retaining minorities that consistently fail to address the major problem. That is, the University is a hostile environment for minority faculty, and minority students are aware of this. They perceive their mentors as unhappy and find the campus to be an unfriendly place, without sanctuaries. This perception was reinforced when the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences voted down a proposed requirement for all students to take a course in American diversity. Last fall, I taught a course with numerous minority students. I underwent a surgery and asked an award-winning lecturer to fill in during my recovery. When CLAS and my department found out, associate dean Robert Weaver and an departmental administrator showed up to remove my lecturer and provoke a confrontation covered in the Lawrence Journal World. It is important to imagine the effect that this confrontation had on my minority students. I am not the only minority faculty to have such experiences. This year Michael Cuenca was denied promotion and tenure. Ms. Davis states that "Cuenca's dismissal from the School of Journalism is by his own hand" — implying somehow that he committed suicide. Cuenca has more publications than all White J-School faculty combined, and is a well-respected teacher. Therefore, what factors other than his ethnic identity and aggressive stances in favor of diversity were reasons for his termination? Last year, 11 minority faculty members were terminated by the University. The number of minority faculty is at a seven-year low. New minority hires have decreased every year since Chancellor Hemenway arrived. Minority graduate students have told me that they would not consider taking jobs at the University after what they have seen happens to minority faculty. In light of this, Ms. Davis' letter seems silly and self-serving. One problem with minority recruitment and retention is that administrators seek out minorities more interested in professional advancement than minority recruitment and retention. Most minorities are not impressed by these individuals, avoid them and end up leaving because of a lack of acceptable role models. I applaud serious attempts by the University to increase diversity, but the only way that diversity will actually increase is if the atmosphere changes and minority faculty are free to speak without fear of retaliation from an administration that preaches diversity while demanding conformity. Raymond Pierotti associate professor of biological sciences Alumni will work to save teams The Athletics Department cities budget problems for the programs' termination. I realize the swimming team does not generate much revenue. But I know it requires only a small amount of the Department's expenditures. As an former swimmer at the University of Kansas, I am quite upset about the Athletics Department's decision to terminate the men's swimming and diving and the men's tennis programs. The reasons put forth for this decision only exacerbate my disgust with the Athletics Department's inability to do what is best for the student-athletes, past, present and future. I understand the theory of improving the football facilities to perpetuate a better program. Maybe this will happen; maybe it won't. But the Department has far exceeded the amount of money it should be willing to contribute to football. Meanwhile, the swimming teams have been practicing in poor facilities for 20 years. In fact, some of the problems with Robinson Natatorium could be considered health hazards, such as a poor ventilation system that, after a difficult workout, sometimes causes swimmers to cough so violently that they can't sleep or experience upset stomachs. However, as swimmers, we accepted these nuances, continued to train hard and knew that unless we were lucky enough to have generous alumni donate the required funds to build a new pool, that we would most likely never see the day when KU athletics would provide these facilities. The ironic thing is that the KU swimming and diving programs have some of the most generous alumni. They are a tightly knit group of people who, year after year, demonstrate Jawhawk pride. Our alumni weekend is amazing. I don't know of other teams that annually have such an event. This weekend is financed by the most zealous alumni, who continue to do this because the turnout is phenomenal, they love KU swimming, they have a strong commitment to follow tradition and they love being Jawhawks. It is an injustice that these people were not notified of "budgetary issues" that ultimately left their program in jeopardy. These people would go out of their way to protect the program and keep the tradition alive. I seriously question the motives behind the termination of these programs. I also express serious concern for the future of the women's teams. Part of my decision to leave California to attend the University was because of the close ties between the men's and women's teams. Taking away the men's team cuts the family in half. The women's team will suffer. But maybe the department is just planning on cutting the women's team next year. Swimmers work hard, possibly harder than any other sport. And they do this with very little recognition. Their sport is seldom televised. It is a rarity for a swimmer to turn pro and actually make a living doing the sport they have dedicated their life to for years. Yet they are among the brightest athletes. They succeed in the classroom. They graduate. They move on to successful careers and become upstanding citizens. Most importantly, they know the value of hard work — the 5.a.m. workouts, the five hours plus of training each day, the weekends spent sleeping instead of partying and the Christmas breaks spent at the pool instead of with family. It's time for the Department to reassess its decision-making. Take a look at what is best for student athletes. Where will the money saved go? To further renovate Memorial Stadium? To raise the salaries of administrative positions? Will its usage benefit student-athletes? Will the benefits of saving this money outweigh the costs of not only losing these and future student-athletes but also the pride and support of alumni!

Christians resolve what they will give up for Lent, Muslims celebrate Haji and Jews prepare for Passover. But there is one religion that students might not hear about this spring — the Baha'i faith. Justin Herrmann, Topeka junior and president of the KU Baha'I Club, said that many people had never heard of the religion. "Most people think Baha'i is one syllable and has something to do with sexual orientation," he said with a slight grin. "But it's two syllables and is pronounced 'buhi.'" The Baha'i faith is an international religion with 6.5 million followers worldwide, 140,000 of whom reside in the United States, said Pamela Barrett, representative for the Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette, Ill. But the faith is virtually unknown to most Americans. Herrmann said the religion worshipped the same god as Christianity, Judaism and Islam but followed a different prophet. Baha'u'llah. Herrmann said that even though he didn't celebrate the same holidays as the other kids in his neighborhood, he didn't really feel left out. He said that his extended family were all Christians, so at Christmas they would exchange gifts with them. "Unity of races and unity of genders are major principles of Baba'i, so anything that would cause arguments or conflict is avoided," he said. The Baha'a religion was founded by Baha'u'lallah, a nobleman from Iran, in 1841 when he received a revelation from God. Larry Sliker, a member of the local spiritual assembly of the Lawrence Baha'a Community, said that this manifestation did not replace the messages of earlier prophets, but enhanced their teachings. Baha's is call this the principle of progressive revelation. As they progress through life, more and more new things are revealed to them. Ahdieh Khoshasabeghhe, Tehran, Iran, junior, compared her faith to learning math in elementary school. She said one learned a little more every year, until one day "you just get it." Although there are Baha'i followers in at least 188 different countries, the largest concentration of believers is in India and Iran. However, Khoshsabegheh said she fled Iran in 1997 because Baha'is were not allowed to attend college or to speak of their religion except to other Baha'is. Kevin Hinegardner, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, doesn't have as dramatic a tale to tell, but he, too, said he had been on a spiritual journey. He was baptized a Methodist, and when he was 14, his father converted to the Baha'i faith. Hinegardner said he had gone to a few services with his dad, but had no real support group. He said that it felt right to become closer to God in the ways Baha'u'lah talked about. Herrmann said that one of the most The KU Bahei'i Club meets at 7 p.m. Mondays at the Regionalist Room in Kansas Union.

"The religion has not broken into sects or sub-groups," he said. Baha'is, like those in many other religions, are not only concerned with the 70 or 80 years lived on earth, he said. Herrmann said that his faith determined how he lived his life. "Our purpose is to develop our souls, because when our bodies die, our souls live on," he said. 2015年金鸡奖电视艺术节 金鸡奖电视艺术节是由中国电影家协会主办、全国广播电视总局和国家新闻出版总署联合举办的全国性电视艺术节。金鸡奖是国内最大的电视艺术节之一，汇聚了全球的优秀电视剧、纪录片、动画、音乐、文学等多种艺术形式。 金鸡奖电视艺术节自创办以来，取得了显著的成绩。在总奖品金额上，金鸡奖电视艺术节曾获得超过10亿元的大额奖金；在参赛作品数量上，金鸡奖电视艺术节曾吸引了众多国内外知名导演、编剧、演员、制作人员前来参与创作。 金鸡奖电视艺术节不仅为广大电视工作者提供了展示才华的平台，也为社会各界提供了一个交流与分享的艺术空间。同时，金鸡奖电视艺术节还鼓励和支持年轻人的创业精神和创新意识，为社会的进步和发展做出了贡献。 金鸡奖电视艺术节也成为了中外影视作品交流的重要平台，是中外文化交流的重要桥梁。通过金鸡奖电视艺术节，各国的艺术家能够相互学习借鉴，共同探讨最新的艺术理念和技术，提高艺术水平。 金鸡奖电视艺术节还具有一定的国际影响力和知名度，是国际文化交流的重要途径。它将为世界各地的观众带来丰富的艺术体验，增强他们的审美素质和艺术修养。 金鸡奖电视艺术节在2015年的颁奖典礼上，还特别颁发了“金鸡奖最佳影片”和“金鸡奖最佳编剧”等奖项，为获奖作品赋予了更高的荣誉。 金鸡奖电视艺术节也致力于推动文化产业的发展，为社会的繁荣和文化复兴做出应有的贡献。 金鸡奖电视艺术节是一个充满希望和未来力的电视艺术节，它将永远是中国文化事业的重要组成部分，为中国的文化发展注入新的活力。 Edited by Melinda Weaver Bill Ecomiak, an Inuit storyteller from northwest Canada, shares his knowledge of the Baha'i faith, a religion that warships the Christian God but follows a different prophet.

Hedinger/ KANSAN Dancers cover up for drinkers By Erin Adamson writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Bada Bing is trading fully nude dancers for a liquor license. The City Commission approved a liquor license at last Tuesday's meeting for the club at 913 North Second St. in North Lawrence. Dave Corliss, assistant city manager, said one condition for Bada Bing receiving the license was that the dancers could no longer be completely nude. Under Lawrence law, a drinking establishment license prohibits nudity. Some students who patronize the club may be willing to accept the trade-off. Justin Montag, Olathe senior, said he would prefer alcohol to nude dancers and that changing the club to a bar atmosphere would be more appealing. "I think more people would go," he said. Montag thought The Out House, another local strip club located at 1837 N. 1500 Road, would remain popular with students because customers could bring their own alcohol. Brock Batten, Overland Park senior, thought Bada Bing could lose customers if it changed its business. "I think it's a step backwards," he said. "You can go to the Flamingo and get a buffet. You don't get naked girls, but you get a buffet. I can go to The Out House and get naked girls and bring my own booze. At Bada Bing, now it's like you're paying for drinks, no buffet and no naked girls." Commissioner Erv Hodges said he had reluctantly approved the liquor license last week because the city had no legal reason to deny the license. "I think there's a hesitancy on my part that we're creating a market for almost unclothed people in a liquor store." he said. Hodges said the liquor license ordinance described how much clothing dancers must wear — and it wasn't much. BASA BING GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS Hodges asked that Bada Bing's license be reviewed three months from the date of issue to review any Bada Bing exotic dance club, 913 N.

Students to raise money for AIDSRide Edited by Leita Schuites By Sarah Smarsh By Sarah Smarsh writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Three University of Kansas students are bringing music — and money — to the AIDS cause. The students, with the help of the Lawrence community, will have an AIDS benefit concert at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Proceeds from the concert will support individuals suffering from HIV/AIDS in the Minnesota, Wisconsin and Chicago areas. The Granada has donated its building for a concert, which will feature Brent Berry and the Secondhands, Space Pocket, Revelry Trio and The Roundups. A short video will also be shown, along with a brief talk aimed at educating attendees about the difference individuals can make in the lives of AIDS victims. The event will also include a raffle. The concert is part of the commitment of the group, which includes a Lawrence resident and two Kansas City residents, to raise $12,500 before embarking on a 500-mile, six-day bike ride with the Heartland AIDSRide. The trek, one of five Tanqueray AIDS rides across the country that started in California in 1994, will begin Monday, July 9 in Minnesota's Twin Cities and end in downtown Chicago. The group, TeamSunflower, will ride with more than 1,700 bikers from across the country in an effort to raise more than $5 million. Sarah Lawton, Overland Park junior, participated in the AIDSRide last year. She said her decision this year to participate stemmed from meeting inspiring people at last year's ride. Entry fees per individual carries requires $2,500 that is sent to HIV/AIDS nonprofit service organizations "You meet so many people who are living with HIV/AIDS and are so positive," she said. Lawton said the ride was a supportive—not competitive—event. She said she hoped the concert and the AIDS ride would spread a message to people in her age group, as half of those diagnosed with HIV annually are younger than 25. "The college population needs to be aware that they are in a risk group," Lawton said. David Braham, Houston senior, initiated the idea for the Granada concert. Hesaid Team Sunflower also wrote letters to family and friends in search of donations, but hoped that the concert would raise $7,000. Braham said he was committed to helping dispel myths about HIV/AIDS as a homosexual disease. The third student participating, Sarah Dehart, Lawrence senior, could not be reached for comment. "Being a White, heterosexual male and not having AIDS makes me want to help spread that message," he said. "This concert is a chance to spread that awareness through education." The students are on a team of six individuals who will be riding in the AIDSRide. Last year, the Tanqueray AIDSRisers raised $5.5 million, making it the largest AIDS fund-raiser in history.

West Lafayette, Ind.? Students lit fires on the Purdue campus after the Boilermakers lost to Notre Dame 68-66 in the Women's Final Four in St. Louis. Although no injuries were reported, five people were arrested. State police officers were even called in and used tear gas to break up students who threw rocks and launched bottle rockets at officers. Police said the largest group of rioters numbered about 1,000, and roughly 200 police officers from local, county and state agencies were called to the scene. I had been under the impression that Nebraska fans take sports more seriously. Although professional counseling might be a norm for "Husker fans after football losses, mad riots down O Street in Lincoln, Neb.. aren't." This isn't a new concept at Purdue. Police fired tear gas into a crowd of students after the Purdue men lost to Wisconsin in last year's NCAA West Regional finals. It's also hard to believe people would be rioting after a women's basketball game, not because it's not worthy of attention, but the women's national championship occurs on a sleepy Sunday evening on ESPN while the men's title game is reserved for a big Monday evening on CBS. Unfortunately not too many people in our vicinity pay as much attention to a sport involving Southwest Missouri's Jackie Stiles and Notre Dame's Ruth Riley. But it actually goes beyond crazed fans. Perhaps Boilermaker fans had a few too many Boilermakers. Alcohol plus anger equals burning furniture at Purdue. One student said the rioting was kind of a tradition. A bonfire during homecoming is tradition. Letting someone's La-Z-Boy go up in flames is not. The incident in Indiana isn't a new fad. A dozen bonfires were set on the Maryland campus in College Park after Duke beat the Terrapins in a men's national semifinal game Saturday. Rioting isn't just for European soccer fans anymore. Along with the Maryland and Purdue incidents, rioting occurred in Montreal after the Canadians won the Stanley Cup, in Chicago when the Bulls won the NBA Finals regularly in the '90s, and in Los Angeles after the Lakers won the title last year. - not exactly a reason for the Lawrence Police to send in the National Guard. After Michigan State lost in the 1999 NCAA Tournament, 136 arrests were made near the Michigan State campus in East Lansing, Mich., after much vandalism. Property damage exceeded $500,000. Although not every university has riot problems, it's nice to know that this university doesn't have problems and won't anytime soon. We hope. The Spartans' loss Saturday night to Arizona led to just 33 arrests in East Lansing. Hundreds of police officers on campus appeared to deter any major problems. Lionberger is a Washington, Kan., senior in Journalism. As much of a religion Kansas basketball is in Lawrence, people are pretty laid back after big Kansas losses. I don't remember reading about bonfires on Jayhawk Boulevard. Luckily these have been the only major setbacks in the area in the last two decades. Heck, when the Jayhawks lost to Duke in the 1991 National Championship, Kansas fans were chanting "We're No. 2." The only excitement came in the '80s when Manhattan's Aggieville had riots after Kansas-Kansas State football games. Remember this was the '80s, when the Jayhawks and Wildcats mustered a combined 2.2 wins a season. But Aggieville is a concentration of bars. Once again, alcohol plus violence equals bad times. Jayhawk band members who went to Columbia, Mo., in 1988 would agree after dodging Jim Beam bottles during the Kansas-Missouri football game. Hill leads capable wide receivers By Jeff Denton sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Harrison Hill needs only 28 catches and 753 yards to rewrite the Kansas receiving record books in both categories, but that is the last concern on the fourth-year junior's mind. All he wants from his last year in Lawrence is for the team to change its losing ways. "I've been around here for three losing seasons in a row, and we can't do that again," Hill said. "We have to have a winning season. We have to change how we work, and we have to change how we practice. I think we are starting off on the right note so far." The 5-11, 195-pound Wichita native is coming off his best season as a Jayhawk. Starting every game last year, Hill had career bests in both receptions and yards. He also contributed on special teams, averaging just under 11 yards per punt return. "I feel that the strongest point of our team right now Returning as a senior and ready to improve on those numbers, Hill should have a tremendous supporting cast of talented wide-outs — the top four receivers besides himself return from last year's squad. Hill: wants to finish career at Kansas with winning season is the wide receivers," Hill said "We have been around the longest and been the most productive. Most of the guys are veterans who already know what they are doing. I think that this is the year that we explode." Former junior college standout Roger Ross made a big splash in his first season at Kansas, leading the club with four receiving touchdowns and in yards per catch. Junior Termaine Fulton's 11 career touchdowns place him in the school's all-time top five list. Sophomore Byron Gasaway has outstanding size (6-foot-4, 195) for a receiver, and J.T. Thompson hauled in eight catches while suiting up as a freshman. Sophomore Marcellus Jones and redshirt freshman Derick Mills will also push for playing time. Kansas wide receivers coach Clarence James is one of the five new faces on Kansas' revamped staff. James has spent the past two decades coaching in the college ranks, making stops at programs such as Texas and Oklahoma. He looks forward to working with such a fast, deep and skillful group of wide receivers. "Roger is going to be productive for us," James said. "He might not have great 40 speed, but he has great football speed. Termaine and J.T. both run well, and Mills has excellent speed. It's a good group which should get better throughout the spring." James has high hopes for all the receivers, but he has more faith in the hungriest and most experienced of the bunch. He has several options to work with in the five months before the finished product is put on the gridiron, but he doesn't want to overthink things. "Harrison is a player," James said. "The thing I try not to do more than anything is mess him up." Blue Devils capture NCAA title The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — It's complete. Shane Battier's work is done. "All that's left for me is to ride off in the sunset on a white horse," said Battier. Duke's all-everything With a national title in his hand. With a national title in his hand. The top-ranked Blue Devils won their third championship — and second in the Metrodome — with an 82-72 victory against Arizona last night. I Even though WARIZONA WILDCAIS Dartier and Jewel All-American Jason Williams had off nights, sophomores Mike Dunleavy and Carlos Boozer picked up the slack, enabling Mike Krzeyzewski to move into impressive coaching company Still well behind UCLA's John Wooden's 10 national championships, Krzyezewski was one behind Kentucky's Adolph Rupp and tied his college coach, Bob Knight, who won three at Indiana. "All the emotions they had to go through and they withstood them Krzzyewski celebrated by hugging Battier for what seemed to be an eternity, a farewell embrace for his national player of the year and team leader. To get to this game, Duke (35-4) had to overcome a 22-point deficit in Saturday's semifinal win against Maryland. The last time the Blue Devils won it all, it was by 20 points. The loss ended Arizona's bitter-sweet season and kept the Wildcats (28-8) from matching their own record of beating three No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, which they did when they won it all in 1997. and did a great job to get to the final game," said Arizona coach Lute Olson. "It's tough. Someone's got to lose it. Duke is deserving. We gave them a good run and couldn't get it done." Loren Woods led Arizona with 22 points. The Wildcats rebounded from a poor start to their season and overcame the death of Olson's wife on Jan.1 in reaching the championship game. Battier had 18 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. Williams, saddled with foul trouble, had 16 points on 5-for-15 shooting. Dunleavy had three three-pointers in an 11-2 run that put Duke up 50-39 four minutes into the second half. Four times Arizona got within three points. Three times it was Battier, the outstanding player of the Final Four, who responded for Duke. His dunk on a pass from Williams made it 77-72 with 2:31 left, and Williams hit a three-pointer with 1:45 left that gave the Blue Devils an eight-point lead. Duke shot 47 percent from the field (30-for-64), well above the 38 percent Arizona's other opponents, including No.1 seeds Illinois and Michigan State, shot during the tournament.

Bretz pledged his eternal services to the Kansas softball team in a card presented at last spring's banquet. Photo by Joanna Fewins/KANSAN By Brent Briggeman sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter Although he's only eight years old, Ryne Bretz has the rest of his life figured out. He announced his intentions to Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge in a card at the team's annual banquet last spring. Bretz, who was named after former Chicago Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg, obviously has sports in his blood. While most kids in his third grade class spend the afterschool hours trading Pokemon cards or watching television, Bretz races to watch the softball team practice or play. The card read, "I am the Kansas softball bat boy for life." First, though, he hits the books. If his homework isn't finished, his mother won't let him go. "He loves it, and it's brought his grades up in school," said Diana Bretz, Ryne's mother. "It's been a really big incentive for him, if he doesn't do well in school, he doesn't get to do this." Bretz became the bat boy after meeting Bunge at a Junior Jayhawk softball clinic last year. "I told him that if he was ever at a game and wanted to be the bat boy, then he just needed to come see me," Bunge said. "Well, he showed up at the next game and the next game and the next game." hand when his parents are away. In the fall, Bretz decided he'd like to start going to practices as well. He didn't miss a single practice during the fall season and only misses this semester when the team practices at hours that conflict with his school schedule. He hasn't missed a home game in the last two seasons. He has even traveled with his mother to several road games, including the UNLV Classic in Las Vegas. "I like watching the practices," Bretz said. "It's just fun to watch all the girls practice and work." Bretz's duties as a bat boy aren't limited to his on-field work. He also meets the team bus as it leaves for away games, usually bringing baked goods for the players and coaches. Bretz and his mother also lend a hand in preparing the field when they can. They've helped drag the field and rake water off the playing surface. "They've helped us out tremendously," Bunge said. "He's really become a part of the Kansas softball family." "I think some of the other kids in my school were kind of jealous about that," Bretz said. One of the highlights for Bretz came last summer when he staved at the "Softball House" His job comes with perks, too. The team surprised him in school last year, giving him the most impressive show-and-tell in the school. Babysitting is also no longer a concern for the Bretz family. The players graciously lend a a house shared by players Christy and Shelly Musser, Leah Tabb and Megan Urquhart. Not only did a water fight break out, but Britz was pleased to find that they had "a Nintendo and everything — even a DVD player." When he's not helping the softball team, Bretz likes to play baseball. He's been playing in leagues since kindergarten and said he most enjoyed playing center field. Though Bunge joked that she planned to hold Bretz to his lifelong commitment, other priorities will surely get in the way of his dedication to Kansas softball. But for now, the entire team is appreciative of their pint-sized bat boy, who is one of their biggest supporters. - Edited by Melinda Weaver --- 2B Quick Looks Tuesday April 3, 2001 HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (April 3). You're lucky in love this year, and in just about everything else. This could lead to new challenges, though, so don't get lazy. A friend turns into a lover, or vice versa, in April. Even sticking to a budget doesn't slow you down in May. You're lookin' good! You have plenty of what you need nearby in June, and a roommate is your course navigator in July. Permanent commitments are on your mind in August, but don't go into debt to prove your love. Instead, spend your money on trip in December. You can cut costs then by visiting old friends. New friends hold your interest in February. Count your blessings in March. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 9. If you thought you were too tough to fall head over heels in love again, guess what? You were wrong about that. Everything looks beautiful, and with that attitude, it is! Don't be shy. Let the most important person know. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6. You could get a pretty good deal on a household item or real estate, but it's not going to be all that easy. You don't like to shell out lots of money until you've thought it over, and that's good. If this cautious strategy worked before, it could work again. Otherwise, forget it. Gemini (May 21- June 21) — Today is a 7. Your friends may be urging you to step out, but do so with caution. You haven't quite mastered the new skills you're learning. Heed an older, wiser coach. You don't want to learn the next lesson the hard way Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5. Move quickly to snag the best bargains and the extra work. You can make more money, or save some, but not if you're daydreaming. Heed the advice of an elder, or rely on your own experience, to avoid a bad deal. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8. Your natural impulse is to go full-speed ahead, but that could get you into trouble. You need to watch out for an older authority figure. In other words, don't let the boss catch you flirting during work hours. Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 4. Your job would be a lot easier if everybody would agree. They seem to be after different objectives, but they have one thing in common: They think you can sort it all out and then do everything. Maybe you can. Ask for more time if you need it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8. You'll be most effective, and perhaps close to awesome, working with a group. They've got the energy, and you can keep them headed in the right direction. It'll be easy. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5. Look sharp! Stand up straight! Look the boss, teacher, parent or building inspector straight in the eye. Let him or her know you not only did the job on time, but you also did it right — or if not, you'll fix it. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 9. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 9. You can almost feel the sun on your back while looking at the travel poster. What are you doing here when you could be there? Need a better, or different, job? If you're already in the perfect job, in the perfect place, look sharp! Somebody may be coming after it. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5. You don't like to be pushed around, but don't get your bristles up. Be nice, and maybe you'll get what you want. Stranger things have happened. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8. You're the director. Your performers should all know their parts by now and be ready to go. They'll put on a great performance if you stay in control. If there are a few hurt feelings, you can patch them up later. D Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 4. You're right in the middle of the toughest part. Don't weenie out. Stick with a difficult task and see it through to completion. That'll be about Friday, by the way. Keep your chin up! T C AMES, Iowa — Men's swimming and baseball are being dropped as Iowa State University's athletics department deals with a $1.4 million budget shortfall, the Ames Tribune reported yesterday. LION BIG 12 ATHLETICS Iowa State also to cut teams to meet budget STUDIO "I'm in a tough spot," said Iowa State athletics director Bruce Van De Velde. "It's really been hard on me. It's tough on the university, too." MILITARY CENTRE The university last discontinued a sports program in 1994, when it dropped men's gymnastics and men's tennis. Baseball has been played at ISU since 1892, making it Iowa State's oldest sport along with football. Men's swimming and diving began in 1916. Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only. Reached at his home Sunday night, baseball coach Lyle Smith said he knew nothing of the proposed cut. "Nothing has been communicated to me," Smith said Sunday night, after his team split a doubleheader with Oklahoma State. "Right now, I am focused on our season, and I don't want anything to detract away from that." Van De Velde said he faced a $2 million budget shortfall when he arrived at Iowa State in November, but was able to trim that by $600,000, thanks in part to increased football ticket prices announced last month. The men's swimming and diving team also called a meeting. Smith said he was working on calling a team meeting yesterday. LA RUE DE LA CARTELLE That leaves a $1.4 million shortfall to make up in the next few weeks, as a preliminary 2002 budget is expected out later this month. Cutting men's swimming eventually will save Iowa State more than $300,000 per year. The team's projected 2001 budget is around $290,000, or 1.5 percent of Iowa State's $20 million athletic department budget. Baseball's fiscal year 2000 operational budget stood at $128,710, the lowest among the 11 Big 12 Conference schools that offer the sport. "I feel bad for the players and coaches and everybody involved with the team," said Kansas baseball coach Bobby Randall, a former coach at Iowa State. "It's a place I loved to coach at and a place I enjoyed living. Iowa State baseball has a wonderful tradition, and it's a sad commentary on the state of college athletics today." Cowboys introduce newest gunslinger NFL IRVING, Texas — When Tony Banks was developing as a quarterback, Troy Aikman was one of his role models. Now he's about to succeed the three-time Super Bowl winner with the Cowboys. Dallas introduced Banks as its new starting quarterback yesterday, the latest in a line that runs back from Alkman through Roger Staubach and Don Meredith. SCORPIUS "I still haven't even thought about it as replacing Troy Alkman," Banks said. "Once I started knowing what position I DALLAS Jones and Banks' agent, Marvin Demoff, finalized the salary cap-friendly contract at the NFL owners meetings in Palm Desert, Calif. The Cowboys signed Banks last week to a one-year, $500,000 deal. "I look at this opportunity and everybody knows contract-wise it's a trial basis, a one-year basis for both ends," he said. wanted to play and how I was going to play, he's one of the guys I looked up to." Banks was cut by the Baltimore Ravens on March 1, just before he would have been due $2.8 million on a four-year, $18.6 million contract he signed in February 2000. In his fiveyear NFL career, Banks has started 61 games. Last season, he completed 150 of 274 passes (55 percent) for 1,578 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. Banks played three seasons in St. Louis before being traded to Baltimore in 1999, when he threw a career-high 17 touchdown passes. Cowboys vice president Stephen The Cowboys waived Aikman after 12 seasons for salary cap reasons and health concerns. NEW YORK — Winning the NBA title will bring a bonus payment of about $100,000 to each member of the championship team. More money to come with championship title NBA The NBA said yesterday that the playoff pool for the 2000-01 season will be $7.5 million — the same amount as last season. The players on the team that wins the title will get to divide $1,290,000 however they choose. The losing team in the finals will get to divide $855,000. Former refugee happy with latest paycheck TENNIS KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — It's not a lot of prize money by professional tennis standards — $64,640. But for former war refugee Ivan Ljubicic, who lived alone as a teenager on $50 a month, the paycheck he earned at the Ericsson Open is a windfall. "Economically I'm in pretty good shape now," Ljubic said. The 22-year-old Croat lost in the quarterfinals, giving eventual champion Andre Agassi perhaps his biggest scare. Ljubicic took an early 4-1 lead but lost 6-4, 6-4. At 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds, Ljubicic is an imposing presence, especially when he booms one of his 130-mph serves. And with a freshly shaved head, he looks older than 22. "I start to live by myself when I was 14," he said. "That is why I look like that, probably." Ljubicic was born in Banja Luka, Bosnia-Herzegovina. When war broke out in 1992, he fled with his brother and mother on the last flight to Belgrade, then took a bus to Croatia. The nerve-racking trip took 40 hours, including a 15-hour wait for the bus. His father joined the family six months later. Because of the war, Ljubicic's parents and the Bosnian tennis federation then sent the youngster to a club in Italy. He had free food and lodging but only $50 a month to spend. Ljubicic lived there alone for five years, while his parents remained in Croatia. Ljubicic started playing tennis at age 9, and in Italy his game blossomed. It took him three years to become the best player at the club, and he thrived on the juniors circuit, reaching the Juniors final at Wimbledon in 1996. That year he turned professional, and in 1999 he cracked the top 100. This week he's ranked 77th heading into the clay-court season.

KU Tennis star testifies in stalking trial The Associated Press MIAMI — Martina Hingis testified yesterday that she was frightened by an accused stalker who repeatedly had ignored her pleas to leave her alone. Hingis acknowledged on cross-examination that Dubravkю Rajevic never threatened her. But the world's top-ranked women's tennis player said she thought Raievic was crazy and irrational. Rajecvic, 46, a Croatian-born Australian citizen, faces up to four years in jail if convicted of stalking the Swiss player and 'trespassing at the 2000 Ericsson Open near Miami. He told reporters before his arrest that he T Hingis: claims man had been stalking her since 1999 loved Hingis and she loved him. When defense attorney Frank Abrams asked if Rajcev was annoying, the 20-year-old Hingis answered: "More than that. Frightening at times." Rajevic grinned broadly through much of her testimony and spoke out several times in violation of legal rules. "It must be love," the defendant blurted out when Hingis said he wouldn't stop ringing the doorbell at her Zurich home. After warnings in front of the jury, Miami-Dade Court Judge Kevin Emas sent the jurors out and told Rajevic that he would be ejected from the courtroom if there were any more outbursts. Rajevic promised to remain silent but spoke up again later. The warning generated a mistrial motion by the defense, but the judge rejected it. He also refused to acquit Rajecvic for insufficient evidence when the prosecution rested. The case was expected to go to the jury today. Rajcevic delivered flowers to Hingis' Zurich home and rang the bell several times at her gate for four days in a row after the 1999 French Open. He also tried to contact her at three tournaments and sent six handwritten love letters that Hingis knew of. After the arrest, Hingis learned that Rajacvec had her address at a Tampa Bay area resort where she has a second home. "I was nervous, but it made me feel if he gets out he would follow me." Hingis said. "He won't give up until he reaches his goal." Asked later what she thought his goal was, Hingis said, "To follow me every step I do." She spoke to Rajcevic face to face only once in June 1999, on the advice of her manager, Mario Widmer, when Rajcevic refused to leave her gated home. "I told him he should get out of my life," Hingis said. "I didn't want to talk with him anymore. I wouldn't want to spend any time with him. "He was looking at me, smiling at me; but he was maybe looking through me, he wouldn't accept what I was telling him," she said. When she learned he was at the Ericsson a year ago, she said, "I couldn't believe it at first that he made that step, to follow me across the Atlantic to watch me play." A stalking conviction requires proof of substantial emotional distress, but Hingis acknowledged she has not sought any professional treatment for the anxiety she blames on Rajcevic. She said 2000 was her second-best season, the year Rajcevic spent in jail. Widmer testified that Rajevic caused Hingis emotional distress, and it had a big impact on her emotional life. Three psychological evaluations last July concluded Rajcevic was delusional about Hingis but legally competent to stand trial. The defense contends Rajecvic was legally pursuing a love interest with no malicious intent. "You were very clear with him. You weren't flirting with him?" asked prosecutor Chris Calkin. "No, not at all." Hingis replied. CISD If you want to teach in a progressive school system, meet our recruiters from the Crowely Independent School District at the Job Fair, April 5.

Whether Tribble was pushing himself to victory in wind sprints back in January, or practicing his baserunning in the middle of batting practice, Tribble's work ethic has made him a standout. 8 Freshman Matt Tribleb stops an Illinois-Chicago baserunner. Recruited as an outfielder and pitcher, Tribleb has shown his versatility this season by frequently starting at first base. Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN. "I've always thought that working hard is the only way to go about playing." Tribble said. "Baseball is a humbling game, and the only way to succeed is to have a good attitude and work hard." Tribble credited his drive and dedication to the two people he considered most influential in his life. The Wheaton, Ill., native said his dad, Howard, and high school coach, Bob Quinn, taught him important lessons about striving to be his best. "Coach Quinn is the one that really taught me that baseball is a great game, but there's also other things in life that make you the person you are," Tribble said. "My dad instilled it in me that if you're going to play, then you give it your all." Tribble came to Kansas so determined to earn a starting spot on the team that he must have forgotten to talk. That was the most recognizable aspect of Tribble initially, according to senior co-captain Brent Del Chiaro. "He was too quiet," Del Chiaro said. "He was so passive at first, but recently he's been feeling his way around. He's more outspoken and more comfortable. You can see that he's acting more like his true self now." Kansas coach Bobby Randall recognized Tribble's hard-working personality throughout the recruiting process, but it wasn't until the beginning of fall practice that Randall began noticing just how driven Tribble was. "I wish that every recruit we get could be like him, and that's a tribute to Matt," Randall said. "He's a guy that has his priorities straight, and that's great to see. He's so focused and intense in baseball, in academics, in everything." Tribble's hard work has paid off on the field. A 15th round draft pick by the Chicago Cubs last year, he has shown talent and versatility for the Jayhawks this season. Although he was recruited as an outfielder and pitcher, Tribble started 28 of Kansas' 32 games at either first base or left field. Tribble is batting a modest .268 and is tied for third on the team in RBI with 20. Although he has shown the ability to compete at the college level, Tribble knows that he must continue to improve. "Everything happened real quickly, and I'm fortunate to be playing," Tribble said. "So far I think I've played all right, but I feel I can definitely play better. I'm excited for the chance to see how much I can improve in the future." Tribble aspires to play professional baseball, and his commitment and talent give him a strong chance of eventually moving on to the next level. Randall said. "That's well within reach for Matt," Randall said. "The way that he works, the way that he approaches the game gives him a chance." — Edited by Megan Phelps Team loses despite efforts of injured player By Shawn Linenberger sports@kansan.com Kansas associate sports editor Kansas sophomore Pete Stroer battled injury and Texas, but he couldn't quite help the men's tennis team to an upset win against No. 15 Texas. The Longhorns defeated the Jayhawks 4-3 yesterday at A l v a m a r Racquet Club. Dealing with a twisted ankle and muscle cramps in his KANSAS TENNIS dropped to 11-8 and 2-2. legs, the sophomore battled Texas' Jose Zarhi in a third-set tie-breaker before losing 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7-4). Texas improved to 14-2 overall and 5-0 in the Big 12 Conference. No. 55 Kansas Kansas coach Ross Nwachukwu admired Stroer's resilience. "I was surprised to see him get up and compete with cramps in both legs." Nwachukwu said. "It was definitely impressive. I won't ever forget his courage and his guts in that match." Texas bounced back from early losses and won the final three matches for its eighth-straight victory. Nwachukwu said the team had wanted to beat Texas to improve its chances of going to the NCAA Championships. "We wanted to win this badly," he said. "I'm very proud of the way the guys fought, but a loss is a loss." Stroer helped start Kansas on the right foot. He teamed with junior Quentin Blakeen at No. 1 doubles defeating No. 35 Zarhi and Jorge Haro in convincing fashion. 8-3. Moments later, Kansas clinched the doubles point. Trailing 6-5 at the No.3 doubles position, Eleazar Magallan and Andrew Metzler earned three points and won 8-5, which gave Kansas a 1-0 lead. Kansas quickly reeled off two more victories in singles play, including Rodrigo Echagaray's victory against No. 76 Craig Edmondson. 6-2, 5-7, 6-4. But Texas' depth was too much for Kansas. After No. 30 Jean Simon beat Magallan at No.1 singles, 7-5, 6-4, the Longhorns came back from a 3-1 deficit and took the final three singles positions, sealing the victory. But the loss did little to fade the impression left by Stroer's performance in his match's pivotal third set at No. 4 singles. Stroer jumped out to a slight lead against Zarhi. But while scrambling after a ball during a rally, Stroer twisted his ankle, forcing him to play with a slight limp. After Zarhi took a 6-5 advantage, cramps in Stroer's quadriceps forced him to collapse during the next game. After taking a few minutes on the ground to stretch and drink, Stroer returned and tied the final set at 6. But Zarhi rolled in the tie-breaker, reeling off the final four points, securing the Longhorns' win. "It was an exciting match to be in that position to win, and I feel horrible about losing," Stroer said. "It would have meant a lot to the program." 8 to 1 Edited by Ashley Rock Student to teacher ratio. Guaranteed. LSAT classes start April 7.

Right in the kisser!" with his own less poetic exclamation to Mrs. Bush: "One of these days, I'm gonna punch you in the face!" LOS ANGELES — In the new sitcom *That's My Bush!* from the creators of *South Park*, President Bush plays host to beer-swilling fir brothers, is mocked by a White House maid and hepecked by the first lady. This Bush contains little substance Bottoms, as Bush, parodies Ralph Kramden's loving threat in "The Honeymones" ("One of these days, Alice The Associated Press Stone contends That's My Bush' traffics in traditional TV sitcom homilies, such as reminding us that honesty is the best policy even when you're president. The cast, including Bottoms and sitcom pro Wallace (receptionist Carol on The Bob Newhart Show), are adept at giving stock TV characters a rude tweak. Bush, as portrayed by actor Timothy Bottoms, also accidentally executes a death-row prisoner and is terrorized by an anti-abortion talking fetus. Stone and Parker didn't vote for Bush — they didn't vote, period — but they have nothing against him. After all, the show could have been Everybody Loves Gore! had the Democrat taken office. There's a peky neighbor, for instance, a reliable TV staple. And, as an illy housekeeper Maggie, Marcia Wallace summons memories of Florence (Maria Gibbs) in The Jeffersons and other smart aleks. Nothing truly personal or political is intended, said Matt Stone, who hatched the show with his South Park partner-in-crime, Trey Parker. That's My Bush! begins an eight-episode run at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow. TEXT ONLY While NBC's drama celebrates the presidency's power and glory, That's My Bush! is a bratty kid gleefully yanking down the chief executive's pants. "It's all just a fun little fantastical absurdist thing," Stone said. "We don't want to preach to anybody or have a big agenda." The Comedy Central series is juvenile, coarse and impishly determined to offend. As political satire, however, it's a pale New Age version in which issues don't really count as much as the notion that the system, in general, deserves to be mocked.

The Rocket wasn't going to pass up this chance to set a record. Clemens became the American League strikeout king yesterday, striking out five and passing Walter Johnson as the Yankees won their season opener 7-3 against the Kansas City Royals. "I wanted to do it here in this setting and on this stage," said Clemens, who was planning to fly to Houston to show the record-setting ball to his mom, who recently got out of intensive care for treatment of emphysema. Clemens, who has a picture of Johnson hanging in his locker, nearly didn't get a chance for the record in the opener. He had only three strikeouts in the first seven innings and was hit in the right forearm by a backbacker against the first batter of the eighth. The ball even left an imprint on Clemens' arm, but it wasn't enough to slow R Royals him. He struck out Carlos Beltran, which tied the record, and then manager Joe Torre sent Clemens out to start the ninth. "I felt extremely fresh and strong," Clemens said. "Once I tied it, I desperately wanted to try to have it happen here." After a leadoff double by Jermaine Dye, Clemens got Joe Randa on a forkball in the dirt, registering his 3,509th career strikeout. "That's a lot of guys he's sent back to the house," said Yankees teammate David Justice. The Rocket got a standing ovation after the record-setting strikeout and congratulations from his teammates on the mound. Clemens waved to the crowd and pumped his fist as he left the field with the ball. Clemens, who has a record five Cy Young Awards in a career that will end in Cooperstown, passed a record that stood as the major league mark from 1927-83, when Nolan Ryan broke it. The Yankees, a major league-worst 9-20 in spring training, started this season the way they ended 2000. BOX SCORE YANKEES 7, ROYALS 3 Jorge Posada went 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBI, and Bernie Williams and Tino Martinez also homered in the Yankees first opener at home since 1995.

Cubs lose opener to Expos in extra innings The Associated Press CHICAGO — Vladimir Guerrero hit an RBI single and Jose Vidro hit a two-run home run yesterday as the Montreal Expos beat the Chicago Cubs 5-4 in 10 innings in their season opener. Winn er Graeme Lloyd got just one out, getting a grounder and escaping a big jam in the ninth. CUBS which sent the game into extra innings. Ugueh Urbina pitched the 10th and got his first save. With two outs in the 10th, Vidro singled to center off loser Jeff Fyhrie and moved to third on FernandoTatis' single. Todd Van Poppel relieved, and Guerrero hit line drive to Ricky Gutierrez. The shortstop dove for the ball, but it glanced off his glove, allowing Vidro to score a run. After rallying and tying the score with a three-run sixth, the Cubs blew a chance to win in the ninth. With one out, Eric Young reached on a single and then stole second, getting a little help from backup catcher Sandy Martinez's wide throw. The Cubs got another break when Scott Strickland, who kept checking second to keep Young from stealing another base, threw to second — only to find no one covering the bag. The ball rolled into the outfield and Young went to third on the error. BillMueller lined out to firstand the Expos intentionally walked Sammy Sosa. That brought up former Expo Rondell White, who drew a walk, loading the bases withtwoouts. But Lloyd relieved Strickland, and he got pinch-hitter Augie Ojeda to ground out to third. But the Cubs responded with a big sixth inning of their own. Gutierrez doubled down the first base line and drove in Sammy In the sixth, Milton Bradley hita line drive to Young, but Young's throw to first was high and Matt Stairs couldn't make the tag. As the umpire called Bradley safe, Guerrero took off and easily beat the throw to the plate, putting Montreal ahead 4-1. Sosa. Gary Matthews Jr., pinch hit for Damon Buford and hit an RBI single. Joe Girardi followed with another RBI single, tying the game at 4-4. Lieber struck out and ended the inning, leaving runners stranded at first and second. The game also featured baseball's first ejection of the season. Catcher Michael Barrett was ejected in the eighth inning for arguing plate umpire Rick Reed's call of a ball on Joe Girardi's checked swing. New pitcher helps White Sox whip Cleveland The Associated Press But bar-hopping in Cleveland couldn't be blamed CLEVELAND — David Wells awoke with a nasty headache, body aches and an upset stomach. Wells, weakened by flu-like symptoms that put his start in jeopardy, pitched like he almost always does against Cleveland, working six strong innings yesterday and leading the Chicago White Sox to a 7-4 win against the Indians. Smiley Face "I'm surprised how well I did today," said Wells, who wasn't sure what made him sick. "I had a good pasta dinner last night. Maybe I walked past somebody with a bug. I'm surprised I was able to pitch. I felt like somebody beat me up for two days." It sure wasn't the Indians, who managed just four hits in six innings on the left. Juan Gonzalez homered twice in his first game for Cleveland, which began its yearlong celebration of its 100th anniversary with a loss to the defending AL Central champions. "It'sdisappointingbutit'snothingtolose any sleep over," said Cleveland's Jim Thome. "We sure wanted to beat them." Making his debut with Chicago, Wells made sure the only fun Cleveland fans had came before the game. He limited the Indians to two runs — both homers — before leaving. "I was so drained," he said. "I had nothing left." The left-hander walked two, struck out three and improved to 17-4 in his career against the Indians. Wells said that during warmups, he was heckled by a fan who made references to his deceased mother, similar to what happened before Game 5 of the 1998 AL championship series, when he pitched for the New York Yankees. "Some idiot tried to be cute," said Wells. "You should have heard it last year when I got beat here. It was the biggest ovation I ever got. It's a personal thing — them against me." Chicago, which last year ended Cleveland's run of five straight division titles, acquired Wells in a disputed trade this winter from Toronto, which gave the White Sox a proven ace, some attitude and a better chance of getting back to the post-season. "This was a big step," Wells said. "This was a special day, being a member of the White Sox and contributing to the win. I don't see any problem with these guys winning the division." Home runs shine Reds' new diamond The Associated Press CINCINNATI — Rafael Furcal loves what they've done to Cinergy Field. The diminutive shortstop homered, hit two more balls to the warning track and drove in a career-high four runs yesterday as the Atlanta Braves pulled away to a 10-4 victory in the first game at the Cincinnati Reds' reconfigured field. Braves If the opener is any measure, the National League has a new launching pad. Four balls reached the warning track, two slammed off the draw-in- walls and four more cleared them, nudged by a swirling wind. Furcal's tiebreaking solo home off Dennys Reyes in the seventh soared over the eight-foot wall in left-center and was retrieved by a hard-hatted construction worker helping with the groundwork for a new ballpark next door. "Yes, it's a surprise to me," Furcal said. "You don't see that every day. I had pretty good swings, and the ball carried pretty good." The 5-foot-10, 165-pound shortstop hit only four homers in 455 at-bats last season, when he was the NL's Rookie of the Year. He also flew out to the wall in his first at-bat and had a sacrifice fly to the warning track. "It was weird," said Braves catcher Javy Lopez, who hit two doubles off the wall. "Sometimes the wind was blowing out, sometimes it was blowing in. With the open (outfield), it makes the wind twist. It's going to be like that the whole year because of the shape of the stadium." Andruw Jones also homered and Quilvio Veras drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double for Atlanta in the eighth. All of Cincinnati's runs came off homers — Dmitri Young's solo shot and Sean Casey's three-run homer off John Burkett that tied the game at 4 in the sixth inning. "Sometimes, the ball didn't carry. Sometimes, the ball took off," said Young, who had to run down Furcal's sacrifice fly to left field. "On Furcal's fly, I was playing in and that ball just kept going and going. On Andruw Jones' ball and the one that Lopez hit, I didn't know if they were that strong or if they got the ball up in the jet stream." Marc Valdes got the victory by getting the final out in the sixth. The new-look field drew raves from the crowd of 41,901 and blushes from the umpiring crew, which wasn't clear on the ground rules. Second base umpire Bill Miller incorrectly called Lopez's double high off the 40-foot wall in center a home run in the fifth inning, a mistake that was quickly corrected and didn't figure in the outcome. Neither did Ken Griffey Jr., one of the most prolific home-run hitters on opening day. The center fielder, who was out of the Reds' starting lineup because of a strained left hamstring, pinch-hit in the seventh and took a called third strike from Mike Remlinger, who froze him with a knee-high fastball on the outside corner. Griffey has seven opening-day homers, tied with Eddie Mathews, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth and Carl Yastrzemski for second-most in major league history. Frank Robinson hit eight.

University Registrar Richard Morrell announced the change yesterday in an email to students. The new system will allow students to access their grades less than 24 hours after professors give them to the registrar. The grades will be posted no later than Monday, May 21, the last day for faculty members to submit students' grades to the registrar. He said that about 10 percent of students wouldn't register their summer addresses with the Office of the University Registrar, causing their paper grade reports to be returned to the University. Morrell also said that online grades would eliminate the possibility of fraud. "E-mailing grades wasn't a secure way of reporting grades," he said. The University proposed e-mailing grades last semester but later withdrew the idea because of security concerns. Chase Cookson, Wichita freshman, said both e-mail and online grades were secure. "I don't see a security problem," he said. "I don't see why anyone would have any problem with that." But Cookson said he preferred online grade reports to receiving a report card in the mail. "It's easier and faster than mailing it to me," he said. Morrell said that unlike printed grade reports, online grades couldn't be altered or viewed by anyone else besides the student. He said that in informal conversations he had with students, they had voiced two concerns. Students wanted to have the option to continue to receive printed grade reports, Morrell said, and they also wanted the online grade reports to look official, so they could show them to employers and insurance companies, which require current grades for premium discounts. Students who wish to receive printed reports should give the Office of the University Registrar a self-addressed, stamped envelope to receive the printed grade report. Grades will be posted at www.grades.ku.edu, which contains an online replica of the printed report, Morrell said. That would make it look official. he said. Tony Monley, Overland Park junior, said he thought grades should be available as soon as possible. "It makes sense to go to a Web site and have a password." Monley said. "You don't know what people can do with e-mail." Students will need a KU Online ID to access their grades. Those who have an Exchange account already have the ID. Students who don't have an Exchange account can set one up at www.ku.edu/computing/services. — Edited by Brandy Straw E-GRADES Grades for the spring semester will be available at www.grades.ku.edu Students can get an online ID to access their grades at www.ku.edu/computing/services Call locates missing student Reasons unclear for disappearance By Lauren Brandenburg writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Cayce Thomasson, a Prairie Village senior who had been missing since March 21, was found yesterday morning after she called her mother from a Texaco station near Clinton Lake, said Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department. Patrick said Thomasson's mother kept her on the phone and called police from another phone, and a sheriff's deputy picked Thomasson up. Pattrick said Thomasson was then taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for examination. A nursing supervisor said Thomasson had been treated and released. Patrick said she appeared to be OK, but he could not say where Thomasson had been or how she had disappeared. He said the investigation into Thomasson's disappearance would continue. The entire detective division had been assigned to the case yesterday morning, Patrick said. Before 1974 Thomasson: found after missing since March 21 Thomasson was found, Sheriff Rick Trapp said the sheriff's department was working on ways they could help the police. Richard Gostautas, Lawrence graduate student, who visited Cayce yesterday afternoon, said she was out of the hospital and was doing well but was pretty shaken up, confused and scared, as one could expect. "She's glad to be amongst friends and family, and we're glad to have her back," Gostautas said. He said yesterday's visit lasted about 10 to 15 minutes because Thomasson was so tired. He said he did not know whether Thomasson had been on her way to or from Marvin Hall when she disappeared, as friends and family had thought. Gostautas said Thomasson did not remember "a whole lot" but that was understandable. "That's why police want to give her time with family and friends," he said. As an architecture student, Thomasson frequently worked on assignments in the Marvin Hall studio. After she had been sick and missed classes the week before spring break, Thomasson wanted to catch up on schoolwork during the break, friends and family had said. When she did not answer her phone after Wednesday, her mother and friends were not initially concerned because she was often in the studio. But when she did not return the calls, her friends and family became alarmed, and her family went to the police. Gostautas said Thomasson's family wanted to thank people for helping in their daughter's disanearance. Student senate debates "Even though they are declining interviews considering what they've gone through, they want to thank everyone for their help — the media, the architecture students and friends," Gostautas said. "They are deeply grateful." Coalitions debate issues Edited by Joshua Richards Minority recruitment, lobbying among topics By Brooke Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Minority recruitment and retention, voter apathy and lobbying in Topeka were all hot topics last night as candidates for student body president and vice president faced off in front of a crowd of about 100 for the first of two scheduled debates. Jessica Bankston, VOICE presidential candidate, said her coalition would lobby the state legislature heavily in the fall for the reinstatement of the two-for-one technology fee. Students now pay $1 per credit hour they are enrolled in while the state doubles that, paying $2 per credit hour. The fee was not continued by the state legislature for next year. DAYAN Bankston, who is director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said that although the University lobbied the legislature, it was also important that Student Senate lobby. "Student issues are different from University issues." Bankston said. During opening remarks, Justin Mills, Delta Force presidential candidate, called for protests at the Capitol about University budget cuts. Kyle Browning, Delta Force vice presidential candidate, called Bankston's focus as legislative director misguided. He said SLAB needed make students more aware of legislation. VOICE presidential candidate Jessica Bankston criticizes Delta Force presidential candidate Justin Mills for using parking issues in his party's platform because Bankston said these issues had already been addressed by Student Senate. Bankston was responding to a question posed by Barbara Ballard, associate vice chancellor, on what she disliked most about her opponents campaign. Photo by Selena Jabara/KANSAN "We need to get away from Topeka." Browning said. "It's not doing anything." Bankston disagreed that her focus had been misguided. Hunter Harris,VOICE vice-presidential candidate, said lobbying was a more professional approach. Increasing minority recruitment and retention is a platform issue for both coalitions. Mills said Delta Force would implement a program to educate students about the benefits of having a diverse University community and work to increase the number of minority faculty. "I'm going to be honest with you, for most students, minority recruitment and retention is not important." Mills said. Bankston said that because Delta Force ran on the issue of improving minority recruitment and retention in 1998, the coalition should have done something about it before now. "Delta Force let you down," Bankston said. "VOICE produces results. If you're going to take credit for the sunshine, you have to take credit for the rain." said he agreed that Delta Force dropped the ball. He said that was the beauty of having a history voters could refer back to and also pointed out that Delta Force did not win presidential and vice presidential seats that year. Mills, who did not run for office in 1998.

BLOOMSBURY Sue Hack takes first By Erin Adamson writer @kansan.com Kansas writer By Erin Adamson Newcomer Sue Hack took first place in the City Commission election last night and incumbents David Dunfield and Marty Kennedy followed in second and third places. Hack finished with 4,736 votes, Dunfield with 4,579, and Kennedy with 4,221. Hack said the election had been a new experience for her, and that she was looking forward to starting work on the commission Tuesday, when the new commissioners meet for the first time. "I'm not a politician," Hack said. "I'm a school teacher who wanted to run for City Commission." Hack said the city and the school board had an opportunity to work together to keep Lawrence schools strong in the upcoming years. Dunfield finished fourth in the city primary elections Feb. 28, but he credits a strong campaign and increased voter interest in the issues for his second-place "I think quarterly meetings are a start." Hack said of meetings where City Commissioners and School Board members are present. "I appreciate the comments people made about schools being a community asset." See ZONING on page 5A Irate student sounds off on parking ticket By Amanda Beglin — the Monday of spring break — to work on a formula car in the building. He said he hadn't expected to get ticketed for parking there. writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer It was merely a moment of frustration that caused Paul Sedlacek, Tecumseh sophomore, to do it. "I probably don't pay my people enough for what they do," Sedlacek said. "It really wears them down. Some people will come in, pay their ticket, and it's no big deal. But if people write the check in front of you and write choice cuss words, we don't have to take it. It's like a direct insult to the cashier." After signing a $20 check to pay a fine for parking in the wrong zone, Sedlacek scrawled "Parking Nazis" on the memo line and pushed it toward the clerk across the counter. But that small pink envelope tucked under his windshield wiper sent him into the Parking Department last Thursday with a chip on his shoulder. "She told me it was a derogatory remark and that they wouldn't accept it," Sedlacek said. "But that's not fair. If I were an atheist and looking at a dollar bill that said 'In God we trust,' I might think it was a derogative remark." Sedlacek said he had parked in the east Learned Hall parking lot March 19 "I got pissed off and wanted to give my two cents worth," Sedlacek said. "That was my first parking ticket." "I've been here three years without getting a ticket," Sedlake said. "And, I mean, it's a $20 ticket. What in God's name could cost $20 to park? Especially over spring break." But Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, was unsympathetic. She said her employees were as weary of rude student behavior as students were of paying their ticket fines. Which is what Sledgeck said Hultine told him when he requested to see her, angry about his unaccepted check. Sedlacke's check was not accepted that day — he didn't change the memo and the cashier didn't budge about not accepting it. Sedlake said he took the check home, scratched out "Nazis," replaced it with "people," and mailed the check the next day. Kathy Barnes, customer service representative at Commerce Bank, said there was nothing illegal about the incident. "It's really up to the merchant if they want to accept the check or not," Barnes said. "But what happened is not illegal on the cashier's part — or his part." Hultine said cashiers usually asked angry students to rewrite checks that had lewd comments on the memo line. "This really doesn't happen that often, though," Hultine said. "The majority of people who get tickets pay their tickets. There's only a handful of people who get tickets over and over and get mad about paying them. "But it's really up to cashiers. Some probably take checks and don't think a thing about it. It's just a way to have control over what happens in their day." — Edited by Megan Phloes --- 2A The Inside Front Wednesday April 4,2001 News from campus, the state. the nation and the world LAWRENCE BELGRADE TOKYO WASHINGTON, D.C.

There is a "failure in the marketplace," Napster interim chief Hank Barry told the Senate Judiciary Committee. He said compulsory licenses would provide consumers more than the smattering of songs now available online and simultaneously assure that publishers and artists are compensated for their work. "Congress has repeatedly used such licenses to advance public policy goals in the context of new and frequently inefficient marketplaces," Barry testified. "Compulsory licenses with clear payment structures have encouraged beneficial new technologies and responded effectively to particular market failures. Music on the radio works because of what is functionally a compulsory license." Representatives for major music labels and Jack Valenti of the Motion Picture Association of America panned the idea. Hillary Rosen, who represents the music publishers' trade group, called the possibility of compulsory federal licenses a disaster for the music industry. "Government price-fixing never works," Valenti told the committee. WORLD American diplomats see spy plane crew HAIKOU, China — China allowed American diplomats to meet the crew of a U.S. spy plane yesterday for the first time since the plane landed on Chinese soil after a collision with a Chinese fighter jet, but there was no sign when they would be allowed to return home. China's Xinhua news agency released pictures of the damaged Navy EP-3E at an air base on the southern island of Hainan, where the craft made an emergency landing after the collision, which left the Chinese pilot missing. The pictures showed the plane's left-most propeller broken and tears on the underside of its left wing. "The entire crew is in good health," said Army Brig. Gen. Neal Sealock, the U.S. Embassy defense attaché, one of two diplomats who visited the crew members. "They are being well taken care of." "Our goal is to get them home as soon as possible." China blamed the United States for the collision and demanded an apology. President Jiang Zemin demanded that the United States stop surveillance flights off China's coast.

Criminal investigations widen against Milosevic BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — A defiant Slobodan Milosevic denounced his arrest as "politically staged" in an appeal that contained a startling admission — that the former president financed Serb rebellions that bloodied Bosnia and Croatia in the 1990s. Milosevic, jailed in Belgrade's Central Prison as authorities build a case of alleged corruption and abuse of power against him, demanded his release in a statement written from his cell Monday. Answering accusations that he illegally channeled millions of dollars to secret funds, Milosevac acknowledged for the first time that he funneled cash to ethnic Serb forces in neighboring Bosnia and Croatia, who unsuccessfully fought to prevent those republics from breaking away from the former Yugoslavia. Four dead, 300 injured in Bangladesh strikes DHAKA, Bangladesh — Violent clashes in Bangladesh have killed four people and injured 300 as a general strike intended to force Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation shut down cities throughout Bangladesh for a third day yesterday Bangladesh for a third day yesterday. Opposition activists and government supporters have both used guns and homemade bombs since the strike began Sunday, a working day in Bangladesh, closing businesses and schools and halting most traffic in the capital, Dhaka, and 60 other cities and towns. Police have detained close to 300 protesters. Strikers yesterday smashed scores of tricycle rickshaws for defying the protest by seeking customers. Commuters, mostly government employees, used the rickshaws to travel to work as buses and private cars stayed off the streets. Three strike-related deaths were reported on Monday in the southern districts of Chittagong, Brahmanghar and Chowmahoni. The Associated Press Brahmanbaria and Choumohoni.

Semantics delay arson trial By Lauren Brandenburg writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Whether a 19-year-old Lawrence man will stand trial on charges of arson and burglary remained up in the air yesterday afternoon. Thomas R. Cale Jr. is charged with arson in connection with a fire at the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity house, 1941 Stewart Ave. He also is accused of stealing items from the house. Two things made the case's future uncertain: whether the vacant fraternity house could be considered a dwelling and whether the arson statute only applied to dwellings. The fraternity members were not living in the house this school year so improvements could be made, testified Scot Hill, president and board of directors member of the alumni organization that owns the house. Cale's defense attorney, Joyce Hailie Selassie, argued the house was no longer a dwelling at the time of the fire, as dwellings are structures presently used or intended for use. Dennis Leslie, the lead fire investigator for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, testified Cale had told him in an interview that he, his brother and his brother's friend had lighted candles inside the house and looked for items to steal before running out of the house. He said Cale later told a police officer that, "I have a problem with fire. It's in my head a lot." Judge Robert Fairchild said he would need to look at the statute for arson before he could make his decision.

The panel convened last night in the Kansas Union and discussed issues of Native-American citizenship. Photo by Jamie Roper/KANSAN As a child growing up in a Catholic school, Shelley Bointy didn't have much patience for teachers who mispronounced the names of Native-American historical figures. "I got tired of listening to her murder the name." Bointy said. "It was a beautiful name." The KU graduate from the Dakota and Ottawa tribes remembered when her fourth grade teacher constantly butchered the name Sacajawea. But even when Bointy taught her teacher the correct pronunciation, she said the teacher refused to change. "We were conditioned to keep our voices silent," she said. Bointy and five other panelists spoke last night in the Kansas Union during the last installment of the Diversity Dialogue series, entitled "First Nations, First Citizens? Exploring the Concept of Citizenship." The panelists discussed what citizenship meant to them and how their upbringings contributed to their outlooks. Bointy said overall she had a quality education growing up, which was a vital part of understanding one's citizenship. The problem she saw was how history — especially concerning Native Americans — was portraved. "History is not taught accurately," she said. Schools always have taught history in a way that sheds a positive light on the United States, Bointy said, and that usually came at the expense of multicultural groups. Panelist Monica Tsethlika, member of the Zuni tribe and "We were conditioned to keep our voices silent." Shelley Bointy Native-American graduate student Lawrence graduate student, said while growing up in Tucson, Ariz., she always was told by her educators she would never make anything of her future and she should go to a community college. "I went to the University of Notre Dame instead," she said. "I graduated in three and a half years." But even with her academic success, Tsethlikai said some people discredited her accomplishments and she only made it into the university because of affirmative action. She said the bottom line was not that Native Americans were incapable of achieving their academic goals, but that they learned in different ways and were exposed to substandard education. Michael Stewart highlighted another topic relating to Native-American citizenship. Stewart, a member of the Choctaw tribe of Oklahoma, said dual citizenship and blood quantums, the amount of a person's ethnic background that is comprised of Native-American tribes, also played heavily into Native-American citizenship and how people identified their loyalties. Stewart pulled his laminated certificate degree of Indian blood from his pocket and showed it to the crowd. He calls it his "pedigree card" because he has to have it to be recognized legally as a member of his tribe. Stewart said arguments could be started easily among tribe members whenever the level of blood was a topic. Instead of identifying someone by their cultural beliefs and practices, Stewart said, "We're conditioned to look more at our quantum." The event was sponsored by the Multicultural Resource Center, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the KU Coalition Against Racism and Discrimination. Handbill spurs rival claims Edited by Matt Daugherty Studentsenate Bv Brooke Hesler By Brooke Hesler writer@kanson.com Kansan staff writer Some members of the Delta Force coalition were upset last week about what was printed on VOICE handbills. The handbills listed thingsVOICE had done for students and cited a tutor referral service and a book-exchange program. Both were initiatives spearheaded by Michael Rossler, a Delta Force candidate. However, Katie Holman, a VOICE candidate, also helped with the programs. Jessica Bankston, VOICE candidate for student body president, said those initiatives appeared on the handbills by accident. She said she and Holman came up with the fliers, but Bankston decided the tutor referral service and the book exchange should not be printed because of Rossler's work. Bankston said the wrong handbills were accidently printed, but once the error was realized, they were reprinted without the two programs listed. took them off." Bankston said. "We thought those would be issues of contention, so we just Rossler said he thought it was honorable that VOICE removed the programs from the handbill. Holman said coalitions fighting about to which group initiatives belonged took away from the programs. "By removing this issue from the handbill, we're not saying I didn't work hard on these things." Holman said. Bankston said it was a fine line between what could be classified aVOICE initiative and what could be called a Delta Force initiative. Bankston said Senate's plans for the new building for the Hilltop Child Development Program and implementation of the University's first fall break in October 2001, both issues Delta Force had taken credit for, were really bipartisan efforts. "There were definitely people who were involved with that from Delta Force, but they weren't the only people involved to my knowledge." Bankston said. Kyle Browning, Delta Force vice-presidential candidate, said he considered the Hilltop and fall break to be more Delta Force initiatives. "It's who took the leadership, who got it started and who did the leg work." Browning said. According to University Daily Kansan archives, Jason Fizell, 1997 Delta Force presidential candidate, worked on the fall break and child care initiatives. In the 2000 campaign, Fizell said it was Delta Force that lobbied the administration and worked to get the break. During the 97 campaign, child care was listed as one of the top priorities for both Delta Force and the Unite coalition, headed by Scott Sullivan, who went on to become student body president. Also in 1997, then-student body president Grey Montgomery successfully negotiated a deal between Hilltop, the administration and Senate to finance the new Hilltop building. Delta Force did not exist at the time Montgomery was elected. Last year, Ben Walker, current student body president, also cited his own work and that of Marlon Marshall, current student body vice president, on the implementation of fall break. Students could get laundry discount Edited by Joshua Richards By Erin Adamson By Erin Adamson writer@kansas.com Kansan staff writer Students who use their smart cards to do laundry in residence halls may receive a discount if Student Senate approves a petition and University administration concurs. The resolution asks that students receive a 10 percent discount on laundry services. Senate will consider a smart card petition tonight that says the smart card was intended be a convenience for students, and offering a discount in residence hall laundry rooms would save students money. Katie Bartlett, Nunemaker senator, representing freshmen and sophomores, was a resident assistant in McColum Residence Hall last year and said she felt students would be eager to receive a laundry discount on their smart cards.

April 4, 2001 For comments, contact Chris Borniger or Nathan Willis at 864-4924 or opinion@kansan.com Point/Counterpoint Benefits for employees' same-sex partners Our view: Same-sex partners of KU employees deserve same benefits heterosexual couples get Partly because it's a state institution, the University of Kansas does not provide benefits for the same-sex partners of its employees. This contrasts with a nationwide trend that has caused many public and private employers to extend benefits to the same-sex domestic partners of their employees. If the University intends to be a nondiscriminatory institution and remain competitive when it comes to attracting and retaining faculty, it needs to offer benefits to same-sex partners of University employees. Opposition to same-sex benefits is rooted in discrimination against homosexuals. Benefits often account for a large percentage of an employee's total compensation. Denying homosexuals the same benefits that the University offers to its heterosexual counterparts results in unequal compensation. The Village Voice, a New York City-based alternative newspaper, was the first company to offer benefits to the same-sex partners of their employees in 1982. Since then, many companies have followed suit, including Ford, Chrysler and General Motors. In 1997, the city of San Francisco developed a policy requiring that all businesses it contracted with offer benefits to the same-sex partners of their employees. Many universities also offer same-sex benefits, including Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago. The University of Iowa has also extended its benefits plan to include same-sex partners, a remarkable shift in policy for a school in the traditionally conservative Midwest. Without a benefits plan comparable to those offered at other universities, the University has fewer incentives it can use to attract a strong team of faculty and staff. It also risks losing the homosexual employees it has. Southern Methodist University in Dallas is one school that has recognized these disadvantages. Southern Methodist is in the process of writing the policy and procedures to extend benefits to same-sex partners. The extension of its benefits will go into effect at the beginning of 2002. Suzette Ramirez resources director resources uni for Southern Methodist. said that the university perceived the extension of benefits as an important tool to aid recruitment and retention of facultv and staff. Ramirez also noted that the extension of benefits to employees' same sex partners coincided with the school's policy to avoid discrimination in any of its employment practices. "SMU's commitment to equal opportunity includes nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation." she said Extending benefits to these partners is a step that the University should take to remain an equal-opportunity institution with the highest quality staff. Ramirez summed up reaction to Southern Methodist's change in policy as mostly supportive. "While, of course, there are some who disagree with the decision — and that position is respected — the reaction within the campus com munity has been largely positive." rez, human director ern t. the y Dissenting view: Tinkering with policy blurs traditional standards of legitimate partnership Marriage, defined as the legal union between man and woman, has remained the most stable infrastructure in society for thousands of years. For the University of Kansas to provide benefits to same-sex partners of employees, the legislature must redefine marriage. The liberalization of America has stretched special rights to more and more nontraditionalists in the name of tolerance. Homosexual couples have just as much right to exist, but marriage is a social institution that should not tolerate any waver in its definition. The University is a publicly funded institution and should follow public policy. The laws of most states, including Kansas, do not recognize gay couples as legally married. Therefore, homosexual couples have no right to receive the benefits legally married couples do. The state would have to change its laws to extend benefits to homosexual partners. But marriage laws should not include homosexual couples for many strong, viable reasons. Because there is no official contract binding gay couples, then confusing commitment standards arise in defining a relationship worthy of benefits equal to those heterosexual couples receive. Same-sex couples could claim that they are emotionally bonded,but they have no legal union. It would not be fair for homosexual couples to receive benefits and engaged heterosexual couples to be left out. "Domestic partners" do not deserve special treatment. If the state were to extend benefits to same-sex partners of employees, it would create a confusing standard. The state would have to clearly define who qualifies as a "partner." Otherwise, partners of bigamists and polygamists must also receive the same benefits as gay and straight couples. Legal issues aside, making homo- But ual unions legitimate has no basis in historical tradition, nor would it be proper even in our diverse contemporary society. The homosexual community claims sexual equality, just like heterosexuals, because they can't change their sexuality. On the contrary, there are no conclusive scientific studies that show homosexuality has genetic roots. Heterosexual marriage remains the optimal building block in the continuation of societies. When vows are taken, marriage demands lifelong commitment, fidelity and an openness to life. Homosexual couples cannot reproduce without resorting to extraordinary scientific procedures requiring an egg or sperm from the opposite sex. Biologically, gay couples do not deserve the rights of heterosexual marriages. In marriage, sex is the physical expression of love and commitment. Heterosexual union is a reflection of God's genius in creation. Recognizing gay marriages would be a sacrifice to a large number of Americans. From a religious standpoint, marriage is a sacred union between a man and woman and is a full expression of God's plan for a loving family unit. This is common in most religions, which have vigorously defended their stances. Moreover, the public backlash against the University would divide Kansas communities. Most of the citizens of this profoundly conservative state certainly would not approve. About 70 percent of Nebraskans voted for a ban on gay marriage in that state last fall. There's no reason to think similar numbers of Kansans would think differently. Kate Williams for the editorial board The laws defining marriage have sustained our nation since its beginning and should remain unchanged. Perspective Even religious groups deserve student funding Kyle Ramsey /KANSAN As a member of the American Civil Liberties Union, I often find myself defending the organization from conservative attacks alleging that we are essentially anti-Islamic liberty. As Fred Phelps once said, "The ACLU is nothing but a bunch of antichristic sodomites, tyrannical bulls, hedonists, and smut peddlers whose Luciferian beliefs of hate God is blasphemous, hypocritical, and satanic." But I always felt like I was fighting the good fight because the ACLU has always stood for the constitutional rights of any group, religious or not. However, it is statements such as the one from Alexis Vanasse, president of the KU chapter of the ACLU ("Committees approve religious bill," March 29) and advanced by columnist John Audlehelm ("Student Senate, religious groups must stay apart," March 29) that give conservatives justification to attack rights' defenders on religious grounds. 10 Vanasse erroneously commented that "the ACLU is David Mitchell guest columnist opinion@kanan.com completely against giving state money to religious organizations." The legislation Student Senate will consider tonight, however, is based on the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in Southworth v. Grebe and Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia. These cases stated that universities must distribute student fees to student organizations in a "viewpoint neutral" manner to protect free expression of ideas. Student Senate's bill is an attempt to abide by these decisions. The KU ACLU is opposing the Southworth decision because it approves funding for religious groups. But the national ACLU halled the decision as a "victory for free speech on campus." applaud the legislation? Three guesses. Vanasse's comment and the stance of KU ACLU are directly against the right to free speech and the group's national organization. Both of these positions conflict with the KU ACLU's mission. Audlehue's conclusions are also ripe with misconceptions. First, all student groups have administrative costs — postage, copying, etc. Senate provides funding to student groups to cover these. If a religious student organization were to use this money for religious purposes, it would violate the regulation and would have to forfeit the funding. It also would be nearly impossible to use the money for religious purposes because often, Senate money barely — if at all — covers these costs. Second, there is nothing in the bill's language that indicates that student senators would be "empowered to decide which religions get money," as Audlehelm states. I believe it would actually prevent this. If it provides senators such empowerment, it would violate the "viewpoint neutral" clause from the Southworth decision. Audlehme's conclusion is hopelessly wrong. Senators do not need to "realize that the only fair way to finance religious groups is not to finance any of them." This is discriminatory. The correct conclusion is that Senate needs to abide by the principle of viewpoint neutrality. Those on the left need to realize that religious groups are student organizations as well and deserve the same consideration of administrative funding as any other applicant I never thought I would find myself doing this, but I must say that some of my liberal colleagues need to get a grip and understand that defending rights means defending everyone's rights, including those of religious groups. I agree that any proposal to require religious groups be sufficiently nonexclusive, nonpartisan, and broad-based would be flawed and discriminatory. However, such a requirement is unnecessary to abide by the Southworth decision.

You, chancellor, give me a call when you get my message, all right? Because you know you down with DDB, so I'm down with you. If you students would stop whining and start voting in the local elections, then maybe your issues might be taken seriously. But you won't. You never do. 图 What does McColm Hall have against us taking hot showers? Turn the freakin' water on. For the person who called in about his low salary and inability to get financial aid. That is why we have a union. As a GTA, I feel your pain and sympathize. Solidarity. This is about Drew Gooden. Tell him to leave. I'm upset that during the One Shining Moment highlight reel after the championship game, they didn't show any KU highlights, and they didn't even show Stank 'em the monkey. The only thing I'm happy about is that they didn't show Eric Chenowith. Hilptops on Monday were the greatest articles ever written by the University Daily Kansan. I especially liked the 'Ol' Dirty Bastard and chancellor article. - For all the people who love mulettes: this just in. Mullet bartender at the pool hall defeated several fraters Friday night.

Whoever stole my burrito outside of Saturday morning lab in Malotty, you better know; I'm out to find you. Yeah, there's this girl on the 23rd and Naimshim bus who always wears headphones, and she always sings really loud to whatever music she's listening to. The thing is, I don't know if I should admire her for having that much self-confidence or if it should be, like, shut up. We can all hear you. I just wanted to say that that chancellor article with ODB is one of the funniest things I've read for awhile. Good for you. I can eat an entire box of fruit snacks without hesitation. I hope that all those people who voted they would stop eating meat realize that foot and mouth disease doesn't affect humans. My roommate is stupid. She thought they were actually going to put us all in hamster cages. Imagine that. I love my philosophy tutor. He is so hot. He makes me really want to learn about the mind and body.

The Center for Community Outreach sponsored two "readouts" to highlight advocacy for literacy during Into the Streets Week, the Center's annual effort to increase community service and issue awareness on campus. Professors and coaches read to children at the Hilltop Child Development Center, 1605 Irving Hill Road. KU students later read to children at Ballard Community Center, 708 Elm St. Pat Pisani, executive director of Hilltop, said reading to children helped their desire to read on their own. "It increases their interest in written language because they're hearing spoken language that's fun and excited," Pisani said. Volunteers at Hilltop Included Terry Allen, football coach; Sally Frost Mason, dean of liberal arts and sciences; Mary Klayder, professor of English; Marian Washington, women's basketball coach; and Roy Williams, men's basketball coach. The event complemented the ongoing National Week of the Young Child, Pisani added. ly reading to capture the imaginations of the children, ages 3 to 5, with books that included A Bug's Life and various Dr. Seuss titles. Maureen Seferovich, Lenexa junior and organizer of the read-outs, said the volunteers used live- "They were really great, keeping them entertained with their interesting voices." Seferovich said. "I read quite often to them, so it was really a pleasure to be involved in it," Allen said. Laura Hays, Wichita freshman, was among the student volunteers at Ballard. She said she hoped reading to the children would go beyond the literacy cause and spread a lesson about community. "Maybe seeing some older kids coming out and helping will make them want to help someone when they're older." Hays said. Bankston and Harris said apathy toward Senate would decrease if Senate did more things students could see everyday. Harris cited VOICE's proposed centralized hub on campus, where students could Edited by Svdnev Wallace Browning calls for new Senate leadership pick up periodicals and buy snacks. Mills said money could be spent on other things. Continued from page 1A Browning said Senate needed new leadership and students were being sold short by both state government and student senators. Things became heated when Browning spoke about the Parking Department and used an expletive during his speech. He later apologized and said he was very emotional about the Parking Department and other issues at the University. Edited by Sydney Wallace Zoning issue vital to city commission election Continued from page 1A solutions to keep those neighborhoods vital. "I think it was a lot of hard work on the part of a lot of volunteers," Dunfield said. Incumbent Erv Hodges finished fourth with 4,060 votes, Scott Bailey finished fifth with 3,961 and Adam Mansfield finished sixth with 2,527. Mansfield said he would continue to stay involved in city issues and said he was happy with Dunford's re-election. Dunfield has emphasized the importance of long-term city planning for development in Lawrence during his campaign. He said as an architect, he had been looking at zoning in the older neighborhoods in Lawrence and for Bailey said he intended to stay involved in community issues that had concerned him during the election. "I think he's done a good job and will continue to do a good job," he said. "Clearly traffic is a big one for me," Bailey said. "We'll find solutions to some of those, and I hope to be a part of that." Hack and Dunfield will serve four-year terms on the Commission and Kennedy will serve a two-year term. — Filed by Benedict Strover George Jung (Johnny Dapp) joins forces with a group of Colombian drug barons to smuggle a cargo of cocaine into the United States.

Helen Sweetheart of the Internet Group tries to alter rave scene's image ORLANDO, Fla. — After two of David Curiel's rave-scene friends died of drug overdoses, he realized something needed to change. The fans of electronic dance music, usually teenagers or those in their early 20s, have been blamed for drug overdoses, sex crimes, vandalism and excessive noise in the city. Club drugs, such as Ecstasy, GHB and crystal meth, were responsible for 230 deaths statewide between 1996 and 1999, according to the Florida Office of Drug Control. Drug deaths are a prime concern for The Future Tribe Project. It is affiliated with DanceSafe, an Oakland, Calif.-based group that began testing drugs in clubs several years ago to stop deaths related to the consumption of fake or impure drugs. The public relations campaign can't come soon enough. Orlando's rave scene has become public enemy No.1 for the community's politicians, law enforcement officers and religious leaders. The most recent attack against the rave scene comes from the Orange County Commission. It is expected to vote in several weeks on an ordinance that would tightly regulate after-hour venues that don't serve alcohol but attract segments of the rave scene. The so-called rave clubs would have to be licensed every year, subject to inspection at any time, and required to have off-duty police officers and paramedics on the premises. TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR EMOTIONS... YOUR PAIN... The Associated Press "Everything they've done to shut us down has done nothing to stop the drug deaths," he said. Future Tribe member, Greg Shultea, 22 said legislating the problem away would not work. They've also tried to counter the socially irresponsible image of ravers by volunteering at a nursing home, an Adopt-a-Highway program, and helping build homes for Habitat for Humanity. "We're just trying to save lives," said Curiel, who wears a nose ring, earrings in each ear and a stud under his lip. "I don't want to see any more of my friends die." So two years ago, the 30-year-old industrial designer formed The Future Tribe Project, a group of about 20 rave regulars who try to educate fellow ravers about drugs and safe sex in a non-judgmental manner. They spread the word when bad drugs are circulating and pass out condoms at raves. WHILE IN HIGH TECH YOU'RE ENCOURAGED TO ESCAPE FROM YOUR EMOTIONS AND BE UNFEELING AND MEAN. EXCUSE ME! BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, I'M FAR TOO SENSITIVE FOR THAT.

Yesterday was Equal Pay Day, organized by the National Committee on Pay Equity. Price, Lawrence senior, and Koch, Des Moines, Iowa junior, offered information and gathered signatures for a petition supporting the proposed Paycheck Fairness Act. Koch said that an equal number of men and women signed the petition to support the act. The proposed Paycheck Fairness Act, if passed by Congress, would amend the Equal Pay Act to provide compensatory and punitive damages to women that are not paid equal wages for equal work. "We are raising awareness in that a pay gap still exists between male and female payment," said Price. Price said that the gist of the problem was that a full-time working woman would get paid only 72 percent of the earnings of a full-time working man. The 1999 median annual income for men was $36,476. Women earned $26, 324—an annual discount of $10,152. Price said that although laws like the Equal Pay Act had been on the books for years, a wage gap still existed. "It certainly goes back to sex segregation, but it's more than that," Price said. The National Committee on Pay Equity divides the problem into two trends. Occupational segregation is the tendency for women to occupy lower-paying jobs. The "glass ceiling" is the term used to describe the barrier that makes it difficult for women to reach the top-level positions in their fields. The committee's statistics also show that weak enforcement of existing laws results in women sometimes getting paid less than men for doing the same work. Koch said she thought men were also concerned about a decrease in their family incomes if their female family members received lower salaries. "It gets pigeonhead into a feminist issue thing, but it's a general issue," she said. "There are a lot of jobs where men are paid unequal salaries." Results from the 2000 Census report that working women earn 72 percent of the wage earned by working men. Pay inequality Stephanie Smith, Shawnee junior. Men $36,476 100 percent Women $26,324 72 percent Difference $10,152 28 percent Source: National Committee on Pay Equity Kyle Ramsay KANSAN said she signed the petition because she was worried about her wages when she graduated. "I hope it's going to be productive," she said. - Edited by Brandy Straw Past Kansan columnist's work printed in textbook By Sarah Warren Breeze Lauetke-Stahlman took college English 101 and 102 while still in high school and thought that her writing was awful in comparison to the "normal" college kids in her classes. Now, the Olathe senior is published in an English textbook for college freshmen. writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A column that Luetke-Stahlman wrote for the University Daily Kansan was included in the fourth edition of, America Now: Short Readings from Recent Periodicals (2001 Bedford/Fst. Martin's) edited by Robert Atwan. The column, entitled "Real People Make Real Role Models" was published in the February 7, 2000 edition of the Kansan, when Luetke-Stahlman was on staff as a columnist for the editorial page. "Being in a book that was aimed at teaching college freshmen how to write was really nice for me," Lukeet-Stahman said. "It's funny how things work out." Nadia Mustafa, *Kansanopinion* co-editor during spring 2000, said that she had not heard of any other *Kansaq* columnist being published in a text. published in a textbook. "I've heard of that happening with academic papers but not with a column from the UDK, although it might have and I just don't know about it." Mustafa said. The column discusses the idea that there are role models all around us, rather than just in the movies or on television. Luekte I am a volunteer at the Salvation Army. I help children and young people with disabilities. Stahlman argued that all people who tried to make a difference in the community, not just those who were tagged "activists," should be deemed role models because "one person can make a difference, and it is these people who we should strive to be like." "The point of this column was to really look at the definition of an activist and looking at activism from another angle." Luetke-Stahman said. "An activist is someone who is trying to make their own community better." The book asks students to answer a series of questions about the editorial. Lueket-Stahman said that at first she thought the idea of her own work being dissected by other students was a bit odd and intriguing. But her heart warmed when she looked at the exercise in the section labeled "in-Class Writing Activities." Lueket-Stahman, a self-described "life-time activist" was excited to see that the authors had included an assignment in this section to write a letter to the editor at the local campus newspaper discussing something that the person really cared about. "What more could I ask for than to have a professor instruct a class to do the things I asked people to do in my column?" Luetke-Stahman said. Mustafa said that Lueetek-Stahlman's constant call for activism in the community had made her an attractive choice as a columnist. "One of the reasons we hired Breeze as a columnist was because she's always been really involved as an activist on and off campus," Mustafa said. "She brought an interesting perspective to the editorial page and the Kansan." It just so happens that Luetke-Stahlman's role model is the person who persuaded her to write columns in the first place. She said that Billy Upski Wimsatt, author of *Bomb the Suburbs*, was her role model and close friend. "He's taught me a lot about the value of networking, self-education and personal growth," Luetke-Stahlman said. "He's the one who first encouraged me to publicly write." She said that she hoped that her publication in America Now would be the first of many in her quest for community activism. "Toho to get published many more times in the future," Lueke-Stahman said. —Edited by Jennifer Valadez Newly-found skulls may unveil clues to human evolution By Michelle Ward writer @kansan.com Kansas staff writer Jennifer Macy has turned from textbook pages to newspaper pages to interest her students in archaeology. The teaching assistant announced recently to her class of more than 130 students that a new discovery had created a whole new wrinkle in the understanding of human ancestry. The unearthing of 3.5-million-year-old skull parts at an architectural dig in Kenya two weeks ago has anthropologists wondering if the previously undiscovered species may lead them to different conclusions about human evolution. The physical features of the newly discovered flat faced man do not coincide with those of his counterpart of the time, known as Lucy, discovered in 1974 in Ethiopia. While Lucy, with a chimpanzee-like face, was thought to be a direct ancestor of humans, the newest fossil resembles a different kind of primate, with a flat face and smaller moles. "We tell our students human paleontology is changing all the time," said Macy, a Lawrence graduate student. "Our understanding is altered when new information comes to light. This could potentially change everything." The latest discovery may show that Lucy is just a side branch on the human evolution tree while the Kenya fossils are on the main line, said David Frayer, professor of anthropology. Although there is only one variety of modern-day human, there may have been at least two species of human-like primates living in the same habitat in pre-historic times. The fossils' discovery was unexpected, Frayer said, because nearly 1,000 different specimens of the Lucy-type species had already been discovered. With such a large number of fossils, scientists did not expect to find a strikingly different primate. “It’s a very complicated picture,” he said of the discovery. “There are tens of thousands of fossils. We only have a small portion of these. It’s like putting together a 3.5-million-year-old jigsaw puzzle with many of the pieces missing.” Although the discovery complicates things, it does not overturn everything scientists know thus far. Frayer said. It just helps fill gaps in history and adds more questions for scientists to answer. "When you don't have much information, the story is relatively simple — there is not much variation. As more evidence is discovered, old models are thrown out for hopefully better ones," Frayer said. — Edited by Matt Daugherty Rick's Place 023 Vernon, 700-5967 DIESEL FOR MICROCOMPUTER CLIENTS hobbs. 700 Miles.

What started as a weekly treat developed into something much deeper for the agnostic. She became part of the ECM, acting as a former coordinator for the lunch and current student coordinator for the human sexuality class. Hegé has worked on the leadership council and gone on an alternative-spring-break trip, all while remaining agnostic. "Thad is one of the most important people in my life," said Hége, a Topeka senior. "He is always amazing and inspirational. Anybody can come here because he is really open. He is really, really nonjudgmental and compassionate. Thad is the best example of living a Christian life." While Hegé remains hesitant about the spiritual beyond, she has no doubts about the impact Holcombe has had on her life. Holcombe, who has been the pastor at the ECM for the past 10 years, does not exclude anyone. Holcombe said he believed faith was inclusive not exclusive, always keeping the doors open. The ECM holds faith-based activities as well as general community activities, such as Veggie Lunch. Holcombe shares the building, allowing such groups as the Brazil-Portugal Student Organization to hold a dance clinic and Brazilian night there during Brazilian week.

Felicia Mitchell, the current student coordinator of Veggie Lunch and a Topeka sophomore, first came to the ECM for the weekly luncheon. A year later, she has become an integral part of the ECM, helping with the Thursday buffets and attending a variety of programs including the play *The Vavina Monologues*. "It doesn't feel like a church," Mitchell said. "It's a very open-minded place. It has to do with Thad. He embraces everyone." Isa Kretschmer, a Lawrence junior, got to know Holcombe by living in his building, as part of a communal living group, called Koinonia. The group, made of six students who reside in the basement of the ECM, has found that Holcime likes to eat. He usually brings a pie for the group and then begins conversations on a wide range of topics, including people who live in community situations. Kretschmer said Holcombe enlivened the group with his visits. "That'd a local community rock star," Kretschmer said. "Even though he's a reverend, you can talk to him like an everyday guy. He spends so much time letting the ECM be used as a place to talk about issues. It's more like a community center."

Granted, it would be nice for the Jayhawks to snap their seven-game losing swoon, but more importantly, bragging rights in the state of Kansas are up for grabs tonight. Kansas (14-18, 2-13 Big 12 Conference) swept both of last year's games against the Shockers, 10-5 in Lawrence and 9-8 in Wichita. Last year's sweep helped the Jayhawks recruit in Kansas, and junior infielder Ryan Klocksien said winning the title of "best team in Kansas" again was crucial. In addition to sweeping the Shockers, the Jayhawks took two out of three from Kansas State, earning the unofficial title. BASEBALL GAME Wichita State at Kansas - **Time:** 7 p.m. - **Place:** Hoglund Ballpark - **Probable Starters:** Kansas: junior Jeff Davis (2-1, 4.84 ERA); Wichita State: senior Erich Bryan (2-0, 4.37 ERA) guys for this year," Klocksien said. "It was great being able to say that we were the best in the state last year, and I think we're the best in the state this year." Kansas coach Bobby Randall said the recruiting battle between Wichita State and Kansas was always heated. He said many players on the Shockers' roster were recruited by Kansas, and vice versa. Ten of Kansas' players are originally from Kansas, and Randall said the rivalry between the Shockers and Jayhawks was evident. "There's a whole bunch of guys on that team that we recruited," Randall said. "The guys we have that are from Kansas know how much this series means." Wichita State started its season slow, but has been on fire lately. The 19-11 Shockers have won ten of their last 13 games and currently stand in first place in the Missouri Valley Conference standings. "They're such a quality baseball team, and they remember that we swept them last year," Randall said. "They don't like that at all, and we do. They've got so much pride and tradition in that program, and it's always a battle." Kansas junior Jeff Davis takes the mound for Kansas tonight and has been one of the Jayhawks' most reliable pitchers this season. Randall has used Davis out of the bullpen during Big 12 Conference action, but Davis has also started two games in non-conference play. "We've been very pleased with Jeff all year," Randall said. "He gives us a spark every time he pitches, whether he starts or comes out of the bullpen." Randall also said Kansas would have a full T Kansas third baseman Dan Stucky anticipates a throw from home as a Texas Longhorn attempts to steal third.

Photo by Nick Krug/ KANSAN KANSAS FOOTBALL 'Hawks' hot bats spark Big 12 charge sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter By Brent Briggeman Just two months ago, Big 12 Conference coaches picked the Kansas softball team to finish last in the league. Now, more than halfway through the season, the 'Hawks are perched at a tie for second in the league standings and playing their best ball of the year. "We didn't have a lot of success last year," said Kansas coach Tracy Bunge, who thought the team was deserving of its low preseason ranking. "Based on the people we lost, who we had coming back, and how we performed last year, I understand why we were down there." When the team suffered a six game losing streak in early March, it appeared the predictions were accurate. The team stood at 8-12 with the difficult Big 12 schedule looming on the horizon. But Kansas has won 11 of 15 since that point, including four of six in the conference, improving its season mark to 19-16. Players and coaches credit a revamped offense and tight team chemistry for the improvement. "Almost every hitter across the board has improved on offense," said Bunge, who singled out third baseman Megan Quuart as an example of the offensive turnaround. "You look at Megan last year and she was hitting down in the .220 to .230 range," she said. "Now she's right around .350. Well, that's over a 100 point increase; that's pretty significant." "I think we've been more consistent as a team," said Urquhart, who earned Big 12 Player of the Week honors when she hit .643 with 10 RBI in four games March 17 and 18. "We don't just have our good hitters like last year, we're good all the way through the line-up." As a team, Kansas has hit .285, a jump of more than 60 points from a year ago. Bunge credited maturity and intensity for the team's improvement. "I think a big part of it was that kids were underachieving last year and they've grown this year," she said. "Their work ethic is incredible, better than any team I've coached. I think my arm is longer now from throwing so much batting practice." Bunge also said the 'Hawks 12 games against ranked teams had been beneficial. "We've seen some of the best pitching in the country," Bunge said. "As a hitter that's very important." Both Urquhart and junior shortstop Courtney Wright said improved team chemistry off the field helped the team perform on the field. "Usually you have that one person you're kind of annoyed with." Wright said. "But not on this team. There isn't a girl on the team that I wouldn't want to spend a whole day with." Bunge said shared affection allowed Kansas to play as a single unit. "They like each other and support each other one through 16." Bunge said. "With SOFTBALL GAME Kansas at Southwest Missouri State ■ Time: 3 p.m. (double-header) ■ Place: SMSU Softball Field in Springfield, Mo. women, that's a big thing. Men can sometimes want to kill each other and still play well together, women don't always seem to do that." The 'Hawks travel to Springfield, Mo., today for a doubleheader against Southwest Missouri State, followed with a two-game series at Texas Tech. Bunge said the team had to finish strong to be considered for postseason play. "Almost everything is based on the last few weeks of the season and the conference tournament," Bunge said. "If we beat the teams we should beat and surprise a few people in the Big 12 then we'll be in good shape." Australian emerging as women's tennis star — Edited by Brandy Straw By Aaron Johnson Kansan sportswriter nortonjohnson.com A new coach, new teammates and a pivotal new role on the team all played a part in the uncertainty that evolved at the beginning of the season for Monica Sekulov. Sekulow, a native of Perth, Australia, has been accustomed to change since she decided to come to Kansas to play tennis four years ago. It's a format that Sekulov has apparently come close to mastering in her four years at Kansas, jumping from No. 4 in singles two years ago to No. 1 in singles this season. "They don't have college tennis in Australia," said Sekulov, the lone senior on the Kansas women's tennis team. "This whole tennis format is new to me." this season's success for the Jayhawks (10-7, 4-4 Big 12 Conference). "Monica has played really well at No.1 in a very tough conference," said Kansas first-year coach Kilmeny Waterman. "She has really stepped up and become more aggressive."

Sekulov (17-9) has emerged on a Kansas Sekulov, meanwhile has nothing but praise for the job Waterman has provided. "She is a great coach and is so knowledgeable," Sekulov said. "She is doing really good things for the women's tennis program." A significant victory this year for the Jayhawks against Brigham Young was sparked by a Sekulov upset against No. 40 Jodi Richardson 6-2, 0-6, 7-6. And last month, Sekulov was able to outlast No. 46 Irina Tereschenko of Texas Tech 6-4, 6-4. The knowledge seems to be contagious. Sekulov has provided a number of upsets at the No.1 singles position for the 'Hawks this year, a big reason why Sekulov was named the Big 12 Women's Player of the Week last week. The knowledge seems to be contagious Sekulov credited the team for its positive environment this season. "We have a really great group of girls." Sekulov said. "Practice and matches are fun because the girls and the staff are really great." Waterman said she was thankful she coached Sekulov. "I feel lucky that I am able to get this year with her," Waterman said. "She is such a hard worker and a quality person. We will miss her a lot next year." Waterman also praised the improved doubles aspect of Sekulov's game. Teammates Cheryl Malliaah and Emily Haylock have posted winning records with Sekulov as a doubles partner. Sports Columnist "The three freshman are really outgoing and help make the team really fun." Sekulov said. "The good team chemistry is very important this year." "This season has worked out really well, so I just want to compete as hard as I can every match and do well for the rest of the year," she said. Sekulov has an 85-49 career singles record, and said she hoped to improve as the Big 12 Championships approached later this month. Edited by Joshua Richards PENN STATE Brian Hanni sports@kansan.com Dunleavy Jr. comparisons not so rotten after title game This column is dedicated to all of you who've ever been called "string bean," "skin and bones" or "skinny as a rail." It goes out to those special scrawny athletes who've persevered despite their lanky bodies and less-than-ripped muscles; for the 7-foot-7 former NBA player Manute Bol's of the world who have calf muscles that look like twigs. It's for the king of all skinny stars - Duke swingman Mike Dunleavy, Jr. It's been almost a year and a half since I contracted Mike Dunleavy Jr. disease. I was playing a pick-up game at Robinson Center and unfortunately was chosen to play on the skins team instead of the shirts. Although I do have some decent rebounding skills and have been known to stick the three, my bare chest is not exactly Fabio material. My 6-3 155-pound frame drew some foul comments from the peanut gallery as my opposition tabbed me "Mr. Mike Dunleavy Jr." My new identity was at first a disappointment, but I soon realized there were far worse names. Mike Dunleavy Jr. was a McDonald's All-American who had a full ride at Duke and great jumpshot — maybe this wasn't such a bad deal after all. At the time, I took my new nickname as an insult and vowed to hit the weight room and bulk up. Maybe in a year's time I could get a slight upgrade and they'd call me Luke Axtell or something. Unfortunately, my promised trips to pump iron fell through and the Weight-Gainer 2000 was a bust as well. Before I knew it, the nickname had stuck. About the time I finally started to become comfortable with my latest label, Dunleavy Jr. was capping off a freshman campaign in which he averaged nine points a game and saw his Blue Devils lose to Florida in the Sweet Sixteen of last year's NCAA Tournament. His skinny frame still got tossed around inside just as much I did, but he was going strong with his jumper and a promising career at Duke was well underway. During the offseason, Dunleavy Jr. hit the weight room hard but still came out looking more like Olive Oyl than Popeye, and the scrawny comments still came ringing down from the rafters. Sure, the Cameron Crazies loved him, but most average college basketball fans still saw him as that skinny, baby-faced kid whose dad coached in the NBA. Dunleavy's role at Duke increased this season as he started every game for the Blue Devils and averaged just more than 12 points. His basketball skills started to draw more attention than his not-so-beefy body, but with teammates like Jason Williams and Shane Battier, he sure didn't look to be stealing the spotlight anytime soon. On a night in which Williams laid enough bricks to build a small house and Battier also lacked his best stuff, the gangle gunner turned in his best performance. Dunleavy Jr. hit a career-high five three-pointers — including three consecutive — during an 11-2 run that helped put Duke up 50-39 early in the second half. He tallied 18 second-half points and 21 for the game, helping lead Duke to its third national title. Dunleavy wasn't Duke's only star Monday night, but he certainly was the brightest. That all changed Monday night. His clutch performance in the national spotlight capped off a great season for Dunleavy Jr. and surely gave hope to thousands of kids with chicken legs across the country. He proved winning with hustle is just as good as muscle and a killer jump shot beats banging inside any day. After all, three points will always be worth more than two. So, if you ever happen to see me on campus, feel free to shout, "Hey, Dumleay!" After Monday night's game – I'm holding my head high.

You're the one who's taking on the tough project, just for the fun of it, in April. Friends promise support, but may not follow through, in May. Read the books in June and apply what you've learned in July. A lucky break puts you way ahead in August. Save as much as you can in November. Run wild and free in December. A new task leads to new friends in February, in a roundabout way. In March, your sense of foreboding is right on the money, so heed it. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 9. An idea you've been hatching in the back of your brain is starting to take shape. Sketch out a rough blueprint so that you can make it happen. You're still in the creative phase. Tomorrow comes the work. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7. Proceed with caution in a delicate situation. You're the one with the common sense, remember? Others may race ahead boldly, but your every move should be carefully calculated. Let their loss be your gain. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6. An idea that looks too good to be true is exactly that. Do more research before selling anyone on it. Something about it just doesn't add up. Better that you find the error before they do. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6. If you've made a financial mistake during the past few days, don't fret. Learn from the experience. If you avoided one, good work! You're becoming a master. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7. Hopefully you've exercised at least a little caution lately. Otherwise, you could have either a headache or a bad case of buyer's remorse. Don't let a disappointment stop you, though. You can still make an excellent deal by Friday. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6. You're getting stronger, and not a moment too soon. Your newfound confidence will keep you from being bullied. Just because others make more noise doesn't mean they know what they're talking about. You, however, do. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 7. The pressure gets more intense as you near the deadline. Don't get complacent. There are still a couple of hurdles to get past before you're through. For a couple of days, sweat the little stuff. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. Mind your manners; somebody important is watching. This could mean an increase in pay, so try to look reliable and capable of taking on more responsibility. You are, and you may get to prove it. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8. You'll soon get an opportunity to show your stuff. Don't be caught chatting with friends at the water cooler when the big boss walks by. Instead, busy yourself by closing the Deal of the Century. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6. First, sort through the numbers, then add them up, down and across. You're good at this — once you get into it. Then, celebrate with dinner out. You'll have earned a special treat. C P LEO Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7. There may be a few headaches while details are being handled. Each time you solve one problem, another pops up. Get used to it, and make arrangements to leave earlier on Friday. By then, you should have everything back under control. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5. Just when you feel your burden is too much to bear, a friend comes to your rescue. That's the way this day will go, if you take time to call. You may have to go halfway through your address book before you find the right friend, but don't give up.

Officials were wrapping up work on the details of the deal yesterday, he said. The Tennessean and the Tulsa World reported yesterday the package Tennessee put together for Peterson was about $750,000 annually. Terms of the agreement will be released today, Gilley said. NEW YORK — A tight title game between preseason contenders from Coastal rivalry boosts tournament ratings The good news for the network is that it's a 10.5 percent increase compared to last year's record low. The bad news: Monday's rating still ranks as the second lowest since at least 1975, according to Nielsen Media Research. CBS Sports' broadcast of Duke's 82-72 victory against Arizona on Monday night drew a 15.6 national rating. The 21-2-week tournament finished with an average rating of 6.5, up slightly from 2000's 6.4, the low mark in the 20 years CBS has televised the event. Each rating point represents a little more than 1 million U.S. television households. opposite coasts helped the NCAA men's basketball tournament stem its recent TV ratings slide. According to CBS, 42 million people tuned in for at least six minutes of Monday's game.

He said he could have a decision in about a week. ARLINGTON, Texas — Appearing in the Dallas area for the first time as a former Cowboys quarterback, Troy Alkman said yesterday he was still interested in playing in the NFL, although only as a starter. Aikman has been out of work since being waived March 7. The team he led to three Super Bowls and six division titles in 12 seasons cut ties to avoid a $7 million bonus and seven-year contract extension due if he was on the roster on March 8. DALLAS Aikman is coming off the worst season of his career and there are questions about his durability. He missed five games last season because of injuries and was knocked out of three more, all in the first quarter. He also has suffered four concussions in his last 20 starts — giving him 10 in his career — and has a degenerative back problem. Although Kansas City is the only team known to have contacted Aikman about being a starter, he said there have been others. The Associated Press 箭 Sports Calendar 4 wed. 4 thurs.

Soccer in KU Spring Classic. The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Pat Croce thought he was going to watch a videotape of a player the Philadelphia 76ers were after. Instead, he saw his brother taking money from Allen Iverson's pants in the locker room. John Croce was dismissed as conditioning coach of the Sixers in January after general manager Billy King 76ers showed Pat Croce, the team president and part-owner, tape of the theft. "There is no controversy," Pat Croce said yesterday. "There was an issue, a painful issue and it was put to an end immediately." King authorized videotaping in the locker rooms at practice and home and away games after players complained of missing money. Pat Croce said the team used surveillance cameras as early as a year ago, but wouldn't discuss it further. Dave Coskey, senior vice president, said the team would not comment about the use of any surveillance equipment for security purposes. The Sixers originally Neither the 76ers nor Iverson pressed criminal charges against John Croce. announced John Croce had resigned Jan. 12 to pursue other work. Attempts by The Associated Press to reach John Croce were not successful yesterday. A phone number for him could not be found. Pat Croce said he first heard of the matter when King showed him the videotape, taken at a road game between mid-December and early January. "I looked at Billy, I looked back at the tape and I looked at Billy and he was hurt. He couldn't even talk," Croce said. "I didn't know what to say, I felt sick, physically sick. Then I felt angry. I couldn't believe what I was seeing." Pat Croce said he then told King to confront his brother, investigate the matter and resolve it quickly. "I met with John that night," Pat Croce said. "I talked to my brother as a brother and an employer. I was so angry, but at the same time I was concerned. There's something seriously wrong here if you are going to do something for a couple bucks. It didn't make sense. I thought he needs help." Pat Croce said he called his brother back the next day, offered a medical suggestion and hadn't spoken to him since. He went down to Washington on Jan. 12 to personally apologize to Iverson. you're going to do something for a couple of books." "There's something seriously wrong here if Pat Croce 76ers president and part-owner "He said, 'It's nothing, Pat,'" Pat Croce said. Iverson, in Toronto for a game against the Raptors last night night, declined to comment after a morning practice. Pat Croce said Iverson was the only player he knew to have lost money, but didn't know how much was taken. "Whether it's $2 or $42, it doesn't matter," he said. John Croce was in his fifth season with the Sixers and second as physical conditioning coach. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist, holding degrees from St. Joseph's University and West Chester University. John Croce joined the Sixers after serving two years as a health and physical education teacher and coach at Valley Forge Military Academy and Junior College. He was replaced by James Lloyd on Jan. 26. TGIFs Birthdays YACHT CLUB Home made Home Style Lunch Special Pub Crawls Special Pre-Party Spot 530 Wisconsin 842-9445 Live DJ Thursdays!

Tate is a team captain and All-American, and is ready for the outdoor season. Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN By Michael Sudhalter by Michael Jonathan sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The Kansas track and field program has been through many changes during the last five seasons. Senior team captain and All-American Andy Tate, though, has been a model of consistency during the hardships and triumphs of the program. "My career at Kansas has been a great experience," Tate said. "We went from dead last in the conference during my freshman year to eighth in the NCAs this winter." Tate and junior shot putter Ryan Speers are the only Jayhawk competitors from the eighth place NCAA Indoor Championships team who will compete in the outdoor season. Although Kansas may face a difficult task without the services of experienced athletes such as Scott Russell and Jabari Wamble, Tate said the younger team members would be up for the challenge. "It itps up the door for other people to step up."Tate said. Tate, who chose Kansas instead of Alabama, Georgetown and Washington, said the recent coaching changes had benefited the program in many ways. "The new staff made good things happen," Tate said, "I was able to experience a new era of Kansas track and field for a year." Coach Stanley Redwine said having leaders such as Tate was essential to building a successful program at Kansas. "Tate is definitely a team leader and a mentor to the younger athletes," Redwine said. "The pride that he has for the University sets an example of what we want our athletes to see. We are looking forward to his contributions in the outdoor season." Fellow All-America senior redshirt Charlie Gruber said Tate's practice habits made the entire team work harder. "Andy is a real hard trainer who is dedicated every day and every workout," Gruber said, "His dedication rubs off on everybody." During his final season, Tate will compete in the 3,000 meter steeplechase and try to gain All-American status. Tate and the Jayhawks will begin competition in the Texas relays in Austin, Texas, today through Saturday, and he said the various outdoor relays created a wonderful atmosphere for competition. "The Texas relays are great because there are 20,000 people in the stands with a carnival atmosphere," he said. "The Kansas Relays have a lot of tradition and the Drake Relays also create excitement." Tate said he was considering running in some road races after his season was finished. However, the business administration major will begin working in his native Minnesota as a financial adviser at the NorthStar Resource Group in Minneapolis. Although he prepares for his life beyond collegiate life and track competition, Tate said his fondest memory as a Kansas track athlete occurred this season. "I would say National Indoors, with everyone doing well individually and relays, was a great experience," Tate said. Extension given for individual intramurals — Edited by Leita Schultes It's not too late to enter the intramural bench press competition or the wrestling competition. The entry deadline for the bench press competition was extended from March 28 to today, and wrestling entries are also due today. To sign up for either event, stop by the rec services office by 7 p.m. today at 208 Robinson Center. Bench press is free and wrestling costs $5. weight of the lifter. The bench press competition begins at 5 p.m. Friday at Robinson. In most cases, weightlifting competitions involve dividing participants into body weight divisions. Individuals then compete for the division title. Recreation services has simplified the process of determining a winner. Each contestant is first weighed, then, lifts his or her 'max' amount, then that amount is divided by the This produces a percentage score for that contestant. This system gives each participant a chance to win the entire competition rather than just a division. Thus, a 100-pound woman can beat a 250-pound man using this method. Wrestling weigh-ins begin at 5:30 p.m. April 10 at Robinson with competition beginning shortly after. Wrestlingwaslastyear'smostpopularindividualintramuralevent.Thetournamentisopentobothmen and womenanddespitenonefemale participationlastyear,therewere still47maleentries. "This is really fun event to both work and wrestle," said Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services. Intramural wrestling takes on a more professional look than other events. Krone said it was the one sport where a certified official was required, to help keep the event safe given its physical nature. Krone, however, said injuries had not been a problem in the past. Additionally, those interested must attend a 30 minute weigh-in and safety clinic before they hit the mats. The clinic is conducted by the certified official. Intramural notes - Yesterday's outdoor intramural activities at the Shenk Complex were canceled due to inclement weather conditions. All students are asked to stay off the fields until they are deemed playable, and times for make-up games will be posted no later than noon today. Game cancellations and weather conditions can be found on the rec services information line at 864-3456. INTRAMURAL SPORTS What: The office of recreation services is offering intramural wrestling and weightlifting for interested male and female students. Information: Deadline for registration for both sports is 7 p.m. today at the rec services office, 208 Robinson. - Several games in softball, ultimate frisbee and sand volleyball resulted in forfeits in the last week. Those who did forfeit must sign an "intent to play" form to remain qualified to play. If a team forfeits two games and does not sign an intent form, they will be dropped from the league and miss the tournament. - — Steve Laurenzo - Edited by Jennifer Valadez Foster quickly evolving into big-time thrower Jayhawk traveling to home-state meet By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Jennifer Foster will feel right at home during this week's Texas Relays. Foster, a junior thrower on the Kansas track and field team, grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, about a three-hour drive from Austin, where the relays are held. Foster is already a veteran of the meet. She won the discus three times there as a member of the Crowley High School track team. "It was my favorite meet in high school," Foster said. "It's one of the biggest and best meets in the country." Foster would like to win for the fourth time and give her friends and family something to cheer about. Last season she finished 17th in the shot put and seventh in the discus. "It is always a big meet I look forward to, and my high school coach will be there watching." Foster said. "All my family will be there, and friends. It's just nice to be back in Texas." The throwing conditions should play to Foster's favor. Foster, who won the discus and the shot put in the Jayhawks' first outdoor meet of the season March 24 at Oklahoma State, said her throwing distances had been up this season, thanks to the addition of new throws coach Doug Reynolds. "I know the facilities, and it's usually nice and hot, which is my favorite weather to throw in," she said. "I've improved so much this year," Foster said. "Coach Reynolds has really helped me a lot, He knows our events so well." TRACKS PLAZA Foster said she had improved steadily all season. In practice this week, she set a new personal record in the shot put by two feet* Reynolds said a combination of factors led to the improvement. "We've changed a lot, technically," he said. "We've done a lot of work in the weight room. She's Junior thrower Jennifer Foster practices in Anschutz Sports Pavilion during the indoor season. Foster, a Forth Worth, Texas, native, will be back in her home state for the Texas Relays in Austin today. Photo by Christina Neff becoming a better, bigger, stronger athlete, and in doing so, she's gaining more control over the technical aspects of the throw." When Reynolds joined the team, he saw Foster as a threwer with a good frame and tremendous potential, and has worked to help her realize it. "She's working really hard," Reynolds said. "We still have a lot to gain and a lot to conquer technically and athletically. But she's doing a good job and is progressing well." Foster said she learned to revel in the individual challenges throwing presented. "It's so individual just because you're competing all for yourself and you don't have to rely on someone else to help you perform better," she said. "It's all you."

From the makers of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" & "Notting Hill" Knight challenges NCAA LUBBOCK, Texas - Fourdaysafter dismissing three players for undisclosed vollels, Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said yesterday he would challenge an NCAA rule preventing him from replacing those scholarship players on the squad. Knight refused to discuss why he The Associated Press 1028 Knight: dismissed three Tech players kicked the players off the team a week after taking the Red Raiders' job. "They just needed to be dismissed, period. That's all," he said at his first full news conference at the school. Knight said the rule that limited schools to recruiting eight scholarship players within a two-year period was unfair and did not exist when Texas Tech was placed under NCAA "This rule doesn't exist in girls' basketball, which means the girls are a hell of a lot smarter than whoever put it in place for the guys," he said. sanctions in 1997. A representative with the NCAA did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment. On Friday, one week after being hired, Knight kicked three players off the team for violating team rules. It wasn't made clear to starter Jamal Brown, who averaged 10.6 points last season, or freshman reserves Brannon Hayes and Rodney Bass what rules they had broken. A fourth player, Ronald Hobbs, asked to be released from his scholarship. Athletics director Gerald Myers said Brown, Hayes and Bass had the right to retain their scholarships for another year, but they probably would transfer. If that happens, Tech's roster shrinks to four scholarship players entering next season. Depth could become a problem because NCAA rules permit Knight to sign only five more scholarship players, giving him a total of nine. The NCAA allows a maximum of 13 Violations, including recruiting and unethical conduct, led to NCAA sanctions that held Tech to no more than nine scholarship players for each of the past four years. Next season would have been the first that the team could have the full 13 on its roster. Knight said he was fighting the rule because it was not in place when Tech was placed on probation, not because it put his program in a bind. "I don't think anything other than that comes into the equation — a kid quits, or a kid gets dismissed, or a kid transfers or you have a new coach," he said. On Monday, Knight received an oral commitment from Ermal Kuqo, a sophomore at Seminole State College in Oklahoma. Kuqo said he would sign a national letter of intent to attend Tech on Wednesday, April 11. "I made my decision to sign with Texas Tech because of coach Knight," Kuqo said. "His name says it all. He's a proven winner who develops players and good people." Season reaches emotional end The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — With an opening round before the first round and a final that pitched the preseason Nos. 1 and 2, the NCAA Tournament provided an upset-filled end to an emotional, eventful season. NCAA Duke's 82-72 victory against Arizona on Monday night kept the preseason No. 2s unbeaten in four such championship meetings. The Blue Devils entered and left the tournament No.1. "At the end of each year, there's always a part of me that wants the year to be over," said Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, who became just the fourth coach to win three titles. "I can tell you, even though we won the national championship. I wish I could coach these kids longer." The championship game capped an emotional season for Arizona. Early season suspensions got the Wildcats off to a tough start, then the death of Bobbi Olson, the wife of coach Lute Olson, on Jan. 1, deeply affected the players. "All of us have things happen to us that we have to be willing to accept that it's happened," Olson said. "I don't know how many people I've heard from that have lost life partners." Still, Arizona beat No. 1 seeds Illinois and Michigan State to get to Duke before falling short of winning a second title for Olson. said. "And like I've said, thank goodness for family and great friends." "It's a fact of life. It's there." he The 2001 tournament was the first with a 65-team field, provided a record weekend of early upsets, had regionals with all the top seeds making the finals, some great story lines and a Final Four with three No. 1s and a rookie. Maryland made its first Final Four, and it was the first time for Gary Williams, a head coach for 23 years. There was even plenty of off-the-courtnews in its three weeks, including a slew of coaches leaving, either through resignation or firing. Next year's Final Four will be in Atlanta for just the second time. In 1977, Marquette won its only national championship there. APARTMENT GUIDE Country Club Apts. Brand New This Fall!

In a report to the judge who will decide if the former baseball star will go to prison, Florida probation officials said yesterday that strawberry test masterplanmanagement.com Strawberry: spent four days smoking crack cocaine NY ed positive for cocaine use and violated the terms of his house arrest in his four-day absence from a drug rehab center. The report came as Strawberry remained in a psychiatric ward at St. Joseph's Hospital while doctors evaluated him. Under arrest for violating his probation, he will be sent to the Hillsborough County Jail and held without bail once doctors declare him mentally stable. The probation report is the first official accounting of Strawberry's Thursday night disappearance from the drug treatment center where he was serving two years' house arrest. Strawberry told his probation officer he was picked up at the center by a woman from an Alcoholics Anonymous program named Beverly, who was supposed to take him to the meeting. "...Instead she began smoking crack cocaine and he couldn't resist the temptation," probation officer Shelley Tomlinson wrote in her report. "He said she took him to a nearby motel where there were a total of five men who had guns and took his jewelry." Strawberry said they continued to use cocaine until Friday, when the men—who are not identified—decided it was time to leave. They rode around town, bought more drugs and drove to a motel in Orlando, the report said. Neither the Hillsborough County Sheriff's office nor Strawberry's attorney knew how long Strawberry would beat St. Joseph's. "It's a tough position for the judge to be in," Ficarrotta said. "Whether he relapses one time or 10 times, it's the something. It's whether you fightdrug addiction by putting people in prison or do the right thing and get them the medical treatment they need." "He wants to get himself clean, he wants to go on and live a normal life like everyone else," said Mark Kennedy, who once shared an apartment with Strawberry at the Tampa drug treatment center. "If he's told me once, he told me 50 times: 'I wish I wasn't who I am.' He says he wishes he was a regular guy." MIAMI — A man accused of stalking Martina Hingis testified yesterday the tennis star may no longer love him because she probably found someone else while he's been in jail. Dubravko Rajcevic told jurors he believed Hingis did love him because she smiled at the TV cameras after winning a French Open match only hours after he sent her a fax telling her to smile more. The Associated Press "Yes, I believe she was in love with me, but I've been in jail for one year," Rajcevic said. "She's young, beautiful, famous. In one year she's probably found someone else." Accused Hingis stalker testifies demeanor counts for stalking and three counts for trespassing at the 2000 Ericsson Open near Miami. The jury began deliberations late yesterday. Rajcevic faces up to four years in state prison if convicted of four mis- In closing arguments, prosecutor Christopher Calkin said Rajevic had followed Hingis around the world even though she and others had repeatedly told him to stop. "The pursuit, no matter how implausible, cannot be punished," he said. But defense attorney Frank Abrams said the only thing Rajcevic was guilty of was trying to romance a woman beyond his reach. Rajcevic, a naval architect, conceded people close to Hingis told him she didn't want a relationship, but he said he never heard that from her. Hingis testified Monday she told him in person and by phone to stay away. Psychologists who evaluated Rajjevic concluded he was delusional but mentally competent to stand trial. Rajevic admits after seeing her testify on Monday he realized a marriage between them probably wouldn't have worked. He talked about how he was close, friends with former President; Clinton and other public figures. Rajcevic said he fell in love with. Hingis after seeing her on TV while at home in Australia. Thinking a relationship could develop with Hingis, Rajcivic said he began sending her faxes and letters expressing his admiration of her. Chinese center joining Mavericks roster The Associated Press DALLAS — Although the start of Chinese center Wang Zhi Zhi's NBA career is set against a suddenly politicized backdrop, an assistant coach believes he'll be good for the team, the league and the country. M "It has broken down barriers, and I think done a great service for the two countries," assistant coach Donnie Nelson said. "It's an opportunity to build a bridge between our two countries through sports." --round draft pick in 1999, will be on the active roster for tomorrow's home game against Atlanta, becoming the first Asian to join the NBA. His debut comes as China is holding the American crew of a damaged Navy spy plane. The EP 3E Aries II electronica eavesdropping plane made an emergency landing on Hainan island after colliding with a Chinese fighter jet that had shadowed it over the South China Sea. Bob Wang, a mechanic and Taiwanese immigrant who is not related to the basketball player, said his presence might draw Chinese reporters to the United States and perhaps help them shed impressions of Wang, the Mavericks' second- this country as an aggressive, imperialist power, The Mavericks aren't counting on any meaningful contribution from, Wang this season, but he has been impressive in scrimmages with Mavericks assistant coach Greg Dreiling, a former Jayhawk, and assistant Morlon Wiley. "Of course, once I reach America, there'll be a period when I'm not used, to it." Wang has said. "But I'll narrow the gap as quickly as possible because I'm the first to go and carrying lots of people's hopes." Wang, an officer in the Chinese military, realizes it could be some time before he's able to become productive. --- Over 10 Toppings to choose from!! .357 Special Oct 10th .357 HUDA HIZZHA 749-0055 749-0055 794 Mass.

After months of hard work and dedication, participants of Rock Chalk Revue celebrate their achievements. Pictured are directors from Pi Beta Phi and Phi Delta Theta. 2 The Oracle April 4 advertisement Sorority expansion progressing by Amy Potter A serious problem began to take shape prior to the Fall Formal Recruitment of 1999. Chapter Recruitment Chairs began to express concern about chapter size and the high number of girls participating in Formal Recruitment. Chapters had member totals in the 160's, when the campus total was supposed to be at 140 members. The number of recruits that chapters accept during recruitment usually hovers around 55. That number is expected to increase by five or higher per chapter for the 2001 Fall Formal Recruitment. After looking at the increasing numbers in sororities, a proposal was formulated around the concept of extending an invitation to colonize another sorority at the University of Kansas by Bill Nelson, former Coordinator for Greek Programs; Taylor Gill, Co-Chairman of the Extension Committee, and Chapter Recruitment Chairs. According to Gill, the idea of assessing the need to extend was the first step in following the extension process established by the National Panhellenic Council and the University of Kansas constitution. "We worked for nine months collecting data on current trends at the university and the opinions of the students." said Gill. The next step involved expressing the favorable opinion of the Extension Committee to the Panhellenic Delegates Council. According to Angie Carr, Coordinator for Greek Programs, all but two chapters voted in favor of extension. "There was a lot of education presented to the chapters on extension. We were stopping the gossip mill and getting the facts out there." said Gill. The committee then put together a packet about KU greek life to give to other national organizations that are not currently represented at KU, and now they in turn are waiting on these organizations to submit information about their organization. The third step after the binders of information have been received involves selecting two to three National Organizations to invite to KU for an interview. "We are looking for a National Organization with strong alumni support, able to provide adequate housing, and a strong national reputation," said Gill. Currently there are lots zoned specifically for sororities and fraternities near the parking lot of Sigma Nu and next to the new Lamba Chi chapter house. There are also houses available that are still owned by chapters who are no longer at KU. If the Panhellenic Delegate Council approves one of the organizations, their recommendation will then go to the University. If the University approves, Carr expects the new sorority could start recruiting members in Spring 2002. Laurel Brinkman, Panhellenic President, said a new sorority would "offer a new opportunity to women who chose to discontinue the recruitment process. It would give those women a different option." "KU has a large Greek Community with a strong history. This is a positive step for the Greek Community and KU as a whole. This needs the support of everyone in the Greek Community," said Gill. To the Men of Sigma Nu, Congrats on a job well done. Thanks for all of your hard work! We will miss working with you. Best of luck in the future and Happy Sails to You!

Last summer students from the University of Kansas were again inspired by those famous words. King's speech was one of many inspirational tools used at last year's Leadershape conference to motivate students to become stronger leaders. Leadershape accepted applications from campus leaders representing a wide variety of KU organizations for this year's conference. "Last year's conference was intense, emotional for the conference is compensated by the and powerful. I learned the power of one person University.

Leadershape has been at KU for 4 years and Perez hopes to continue the program for many, many years to come.

I didn't think it would be hard to balance my time, I'd just cut out an hour of watching TV, but that wasn't the case. Practices were at different times each night, which madeplanning my schedule difficult, especially if we'd have to change times at the last minute. Missing one or two practices didn't really matter, but I had to miss two practices every weekend because of work--and weekend practices are half an hour longer, so it was like I missed three days. A few weeks before the show, extra practices were scheuled meaning that instead of practicing one hour, I'd end up practicing for up to three hours each night. Going to practice meant more work in the day; I had to learn dances, songs and lines, but it was still a nice break from my everyday schedule. Sunday before opening night, each show moved into the Lied Center. Though we didn't spend the entire time at the Lied Center practicing, the time commitment grew. Instead of devoting one hour to Rock Chalk, each cast spent about five hours at the Lied Center until the opening night of the show. During the times we weren't on stage,we got to watch the other shows,study,or hang out in our dressing rooms. The first two nights of the show are a little more nerve racking than the closing night. Each show is judged Thursday and Friday, and awards are given out Saturday night. After the first two nights, the casts loosen up a bit and even ad lib new things into their productions. Sometimes cast members from the first shows come out and dance with the cast of the last shows. Now that Rock Chalk is over, it seems like I have a lot more time than I know what to do with. I'm sad that I won't get to see my cast everynight, but I'm relieved to have the time back. I look forward to next year and encourage anyone who is remotely interested to participate in this wonderful activity. To the women of Kappa Delta, Thanks alot for the great experience, we had a "whale" of a time. Boom chicka Boom...Make your knees touch your elbows!

Do you want a gift for that special someone that lasts longer than flowers? If so, maybe you should try a lavaliere. Presenting a lavaliere is a greek tradition where fraternity men give their chapter's letters to their girlfriends as a symbol of their love. Traditionally, a man will have his pledge brothers accompany him as he serenades his girlfriend to present her with the lavaliere. "I think it is a lost tradition at KU," said Kyle Zimmerman, Sigma Chi senior. He lavaliered his girlfriend Jessica Hewitt, an Alpha Chi Omega senior, in the fall of 1999. They had been dating for nearly three years and he wanted a way to show her that she was more to him than just his girlfriend. "I considered it to be a pre-engagement because I knew I wanted to marry her,"said Zimmerman. "It is also a relationship builder." Apparently, this is true because the couple became engaged in January of 2001. Kara Campion, Kappa Alpha Theta senior, was lavaliered in November of 2000 by her boyfriend, who attends Kansas State University. "My sorority had a candle lighting ceremony for me beforehand, that's how I knew he was going to do it," said Campion. Like many men who lavalier, Campion's boyfriend brought his friends with him to serenade her as he formally presented his lavaliere to Campion in front of her chapter. Zimmerman, on the other hand, chose a more intimate way to present the lavaliere. "I gave it to her over dinner to make it more special," he said. After a woman is lavaliered, the next step is for the man to give his fraternity pin to his her. Once a woman is pinned by her boyfriend, it is assumed that marriage will be the next step. However, not all men choose to include pinning in their courtship. For instance, Campion's boyfriend skipped giving his pin, and proposed to her this Christmas. Each chapter at a university has its own traditions regarding the giving away of a chapter's letters. Some require a majority of the chapter's approval before a man can lavallier his girlfriend. Others have parties afterward to celebrate the ceremony.And in many cases,the man's friends will plan a special surprise for him. Similar activities happen among many fraternity chapters after a man gives his lavaliere away. The idea behind it is that a man has earned his chapter's letters through his pledge ship and when he gives them away to his girlfriend, he must pay the price. At Northern Illinois University 20 fraternity members were suspended after they tied a naked fraternity brother to a tree and covered him with garbage. Sorority women have a more docile way to celebrate the presentation of a lavaliere. A chapter usually has a candle lighting ceremony, in which the format can vary from chapter to chapter. In this ceremony, the women of a chapter stand or sit in a circle and pass around a candle. They may sing or read a poem as they pass it. On first time around, the woman that has been lavaliered blows out the candle. If she is pinned, the ceremony is repeated but the woman blows it out on the second time around. The same ceremony is used for engagements,but the candle is finally blown out on the third time. Not all relationships are improved by lavaliering. In fact, it is not unusual for couples to break up afterwards. Nevertheless, it is a fun tradition that is uncommon today at KU. "When my mom was in school, she was lavaliered five or six times," said senior Brady Rodgers,a Sigma Chi . "Back then, it was a more common occurrence and therefore didn't carry the air of seriousness it does today." ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ KTERNAN, HUNTER, BRIAN, AND ALL THE CRAZY LITTLE ADVENTURE SCOUTS, IT'S BEEN A WILD RIDE, HUN?

Many lucky University of Kansas students are reliving their early years once again through a unique volunteer opportunity. Adopt-A-School is an educational program that sends volunteers into Lawrence elementary schools.The program is sponsored through the Panhellenic Association and IFC Council.Both greek and non-greek volunteers are assigned to local elementary schools based on their schedule and grade preference, where they assist both teachers and students 1-2 hours a week. Megan Pearce, Dallas, Texas senior, co-chairs the program this year with her IFC counter-part, Jonathan Ferns. Pearce began volunteering with Adopt-A-School two years ago. She enjoyed the chance to work with kids in such a positive way and decided to take on a larger role within the program this year. Although volunteers only interact with their classrooms for a brief period of time each week,the teachers who participate in Adopt-A- School are able to utilize these students and incorporate them into daily lesson plans. Blake Conklin, Topeka junior, helps Mrs. Morrison's first-graders each week with math and reading. Conklin's girlfriend introduced him to the program last semester when he was looking for a way to get involved. "As soon as I show up each week, the kids swarm me with hugs and beg me to read to them," Conklin said."I love working with kids,and the teacher lets me interact one-on-one with students." Conklin isn't going into education. He doesn't have plans to someday teach a classroom of his own. Yet he's continued working with Adopt-A-School because of the opportunity to be a role model for youths. Erin Adkins makes a big difference in the life of one very special fifth- grade boy. Adkins, Shawnee freshman, found out about Adopt-A School this fall through her sorority. She'd heard it was a good experience and was eager to begin working with students. Instead of a whole classroom, however, Adkins was assigned to work one-on-one with a boy who had trouble focusing and often got distracted up in class. She played games with him and tried to get him to focus on various activities. "The games we play help him focus on specific things, which can be hard. I also help him understand it's okay when he loses, which he gets upset about," Adkins said. Adopt-A-School offers volunteers and classrooms alike the opportunity to connect through education and impact lives. Although the commitment may only be one hour each week, the benefits of the program stay with these volunteers long after their time is up.

The event, which raises money for Prevent Child Abuse America, made more money than last year, when the sorority donated $1400. Twenty-seven teams participated in the competition this year. Each five-member team paid a $75 fee to enter, which covered lane fees, equipment and t-shirts and offered the chance to purchase raffle tickets throughout the event. For every dollar teams spent on raffle tickets, five points were added to their total score. Raffle ticket prizes included restaurant gift certificates, beauty products and services Bowling and a platinum membership to Lawrence Athletic Club. The Train Team, consisting of Jason Train, Charlie Hirsch Jordan Strauss, Justin Blumberg and Robbie Joseph, won the event. Their team ended with a final score of 890 points. Kappa Alpha Theta sorority finished second and Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity took third place. Becca Synhorst, a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta team said, "This competition is a good opportunity to give something back. to the community" Lauren Parks, a second member of Kappa Alpha Theta's team, agreed with Synhorst. Parks said, "Knowing that I can have a good time while I'm doing a good deed makes it even better. I have participated in this event for the last two years and am looking forward to competing again next year." Jodi Kuluva, Sigma Delta Tau's philantropy cochairwoman, was one of two women in charge of the event. Although the total amount of money raised has not yet been calculated, Kuluva said her sorority raised more money than in the past, and that the event was a success. "I thought it was very successful in the fact that college students can pull together to help out children in times like this," Kuluva said. Prevent Child Abuse America was established in 1972 in order to form a national commitment to preventing all forms of child abuse. The organization's programs include public awareness and education throughout media campaigns, publications, conferences and workshops. The organization also provides national volunteer networks, technical and consultative services, primary prevention and advocacy.

Jacobson and her husband even planned a trip for after her graduation this spring from the University of Kansas. With everything set for May, Jacobson went for a final graduation check last month and was shocked. After years of assurance from advisers in the department of English and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, she found out she was 10 hours shy of graduating. Upon hearing the news, Jacobson said she broke down sobbing in the office. "It irritated the hell out of me," said Jacobson, a Lenexa senior. "It was really embarrassing to have to call my grandma back." Students defer to academic advisers who guide them throughout college. The professors who advise students are usually confident with courses within their own school, but not those outside of it, said Teresa Robertson, assistant professor of philosophy. Because of this, they advise students to double check with each college when trying to make one class count for two requirements or substituting one class for another. Before students pick a specific major, they can receive individual advising through the freshman-sophomore advising center, as well. Jacobson said she was sure she had taken all the necessary steps to avoid confusion. "I really, truly, honestly believed I was graduating this May," Jacobson said. "I was super cautious because I really did want to graduate in the spring. I just thank God the decoration didn't say 2001 on them." Robertson advises more than 30 students each semester, and said she felt confident guiding students through the nuts and bolts of the curriculum of her department. "I don't want some poor soul to not graduate because I misinterpreted a rule," she said. Sarah Miley, Olathe senior, tried to get ahead by visiting a journalism adviser before entering the school. Her adviser told her to finish her three by threes, a journalism undergraduate requirement in which students must complete courses in three areas outside their major. Miley completed these courses and entered the school thinking she needed only 18 hours to graduate, which is what she understood from the adviser. Upon revisiting the subject, she learned she needed the original 18, plus an additional 38 hours she was not aware of before entering the school. "I never cry. I don't cry at commercials, movies or even when somebody dies," Miley said. "I started bawling when I heard. I just walked across the street and told the English department I wanted to join their school. They showed me where to sign." When students run into problems with advisers, they do have a course of action if they were misinformed. Amy Whittredge, an academic adviser for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said students could petition courses they thought would substitute for others. If the adviser acknowledged he told the students it would be acceptable, it will help the students' cases. But if students could have easily determined otherwise through the student handbook or course guide, their cases will be hurt. Whittredge said. It is all decided on a case-by-case basis. As a freshman, Miley came in as a political science major who wanted to attend law school. For her first advising appointment, she ended up with an anthropology professor, and both were perplexed by the pairing. Although she initially declared a major, she still struggled to find an adviser who could help. She said this should be something made mandatory for all students. see ADVISING on page 5A "Even if you come in undecided, you need to be assigned an adviser who cares." Miley said. "The University needs to stop worrying about contracts with Coke and Nike and start worrying about us. Without us, they don't need to Students cite voter apathy Mudslinging lowers turnout By Sarah Warren writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Dale Ziegler is similar to more than 80 percent of the students on campus — he won't vote in next week's Student Senate elections. The Lenexa junior hasn't voted the past two years and he's not about to start now. It's not that he doesn't care about Student Senate — he said he was sure Senate did important things for the University of Kansas. It's not that he finds candidates impulsional — he's had several good friends run for various offices. It's not that he's short on time and can't stand in line. He's just completely turned off by the stu- He's just completely turned off by the si dent elections. "It's just a big mudslinging competition," Ziegler said. "It doesn't really seem like a competition to see who will do the best job. It's about who's done the less amount of bad things in the past. It just seems stupid — sometimes you just want to go up to candidates and say "Grow up." Whether it's mudsliding or other components of the electoral process, students at the University and other Big 12 Conference schools share Ziegler's apathy when it comes to voting in student elections. At KU, the University of Missouri and Kansas State, less than 20 percent of the student body voted in the schools' most recent student government elections. Dustin Johnson, KU elections commissioner, said KU, which had the lowest percentage of the three schools, had even fewer students vote in the 2000 election than previous years. "Traditionally at KU, we have 17 to 18 percent voter turnout." Johnson said. "Last year, numbers were down a little bit, and about 15 percent of the students voted." Ziegler speculated that last year's election numbers had dropped because of a last-minute scandal involving the theft of University Daily Kansans from the loading dock at the Laurence Journal-World by candidates in the United Students party. Instead of raising the numbers because of increased coverage in the Kansan, he said the numbers could have dwindled because voters joined his distaste for "dirty" tricks. "In high school there is less mudslinging," Ziegler said. "The scandal didn't even matter because that party won." However, Nick Chate, chairman of the board of election commissioners at Missouri, said his university's 18 percent turnout in its fall election was due more in part to a "don't-care factor" among students. "Honestly, I think a lot of people don't care." Choate said. "They see the signs and posters around campus, but then when it comes to getting in line to vote they don't care." Travis Lenkner, Student Senate chairman at K-State, said this "don't-care factor" wasn't just limited to Big 12 schools, but it was more of a national phenomenon. "I think the 'don't'care factor" is nationally a trend," he said. "If you called other schools of our size you'd get the same numbers." But Lenkner said the recent voter turnout of 19.5 percent in the K-State student senate elections wasn't a bad percentage when put into context. "I think we get a pretty good turnout," Lenkner said. "If we asked people to register to vote, we'd have a 60 to 80 percent of registered voters come out." Lenker said K-State held its student elec. Voting percentages University of Kansas 15 percent Kansas State University 19.5 percent University of Nebraska 14.03 percent University of Missouri 18 percent Texas A&M 23 percent Source: Numbers were reported by each university's Kyle Ramsey/KANSAN tions during a period of three days, which helped give the university a higher turnout than at KU and Missouri. KU runs its elections for a period of two days, while Missouri just changed its election policy from one-day to two-day elections. Student Senate elections at KU will be Wednesday, April 11, and Thursday, April 12. Lenner said it would be important for the three schools to increase turnout. "Student Senate doesn't have direct power, but it can be a big lobbying machine for student concerns," Lenkner said. Edited by Jason McKee MASK Criminal CLOWNS Story by Lauren Brandenburg = Illustration by Kyle Ramsey Laughable crooks lack common sense W with all the crimes people commit every day, each person has some room for error. For example, Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department said one time some suspects had to walk home barefoot after they wore shoes stolen in a burglary to an interview at the police department about the burglary. From the Lawrence Police Department: Too hurried to remember the plan A man went to rob a convenience store, and was hoping his mask would maintain his anonymity. In his excitement, however, he forgot to put on the mask before the robbery. He went through the entire robbery with his face completely visible. When he left the bank, he realized his mistake and pulled the mask over his face as he left. Searching for a man wearing a mask made the police's search easier, and he was caught. Did you get my name? A student who wanted a bottle of rum went to a local liquor store, grabbed a 1.75-liter bottle of rum and began waving a baseball bat around and said he would take the bottle of rum. But when the student said he was going to take the liquor, the clerk asked to see his ID on the premise he was underage. He gave her the ID and the store on foot. When police went to investigate the robbery, the clerk had the student's name. Police later found him walking down Second Street with the bottle of liquor and placed him under arrest.

TheVOICE platform states the coalition will fight for better representation in city government and will possibly Bankston said VOICE was calling for a non-voting student commissioner who would sit with the City Commission and participate in discussions. She said it was important for the city to realize that the City Commission. Jessica Bankston, VOICE candidate for student body president, said students had met with opposition from the city KU VOICE pursue creating a student position on the City Commission. when they tried to participate in city government, but city officials say students have the same opportunity as other community members to be involved. Make Yours Heard "I don't think what they are calling for is necessarily the most productive thing to do." Kyle Browning Delta Force candidate for student body president students were concerned about all the issues in the community. Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager, said it was possible the new Commission would approve the VOICE proposition, but the students would have to bring their proposal before the City Commission. Wildgen said two years ago Student Senate proposed a similar seat for students on the Commission. The Commission denied the request, but commissioners urged students to get involved. About 30 boards and committees on which the public serves study city issues and provide information and recomme- dations to city staff and commissioners. Hunter Harris,VOICE student body vice-presidential candidate,said student seniors thought the city didn't want students to be appointed to boards or committees. Kyle Browning, Delta Force candidate for student body president, disagreed. "My impression is that they want students on them." Browning said. Browning also thought there were other ways to increase student input. "I don't think what they are calling for is necessarily the most productive thing to do." Browning said. "I think the community affairs director needs to have a bigger job. That person should be going to all the meetings." Bankston agreed that the community affairs director's position needed to be reevaluated, but said they wanted more than a student listening in the audience. "I think there's a difference in someone who sits out in the gallery and one who sits with the Commission," Bankston said. Disappearance renews caution among students Kansan staff writer By Lauren Brandenburg As a female student on campus, Amber Burton had always been concerned for her safety. She said the recent disappearance of Cayce Thomasson, Prairie Village senior, had heightened her level of concern. "I don't ever walk alone on campus at night or I try to avoid it as much as possible," said Burton, Frankfort senior. Katie Perkins, St. Louis, Mo., senior, is also concerned. "After all of this, this kind of really creeped me out," Perkins said. "It hit too close to home." As an architecture student who works late at night in the studio at Marvin Hall, Perkins said she asked her boyfriend to walk her home when it was late. Perkins said she lived off-campus and used to walk anywhere, but that's not the case anymore. "We're more cautious, probably overly cautious, but we want to be safe," she said. Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department said students had no cause to be concerned based on the disappearance. He said police would continue to try to determine 1980 homasson; Found tuesday after missi- sing since March 21 Thomasson's whereabouts while she was gone. He said he did not know when he would have more information about the disappearance. Sgt. Troy Malen of the KU Public Safety Office said even if there was not a new cause for concern, Thomasson's disappearance had heightened awareness on campus. "Whenever you have something like this or the rape at the Campanile (Aug. 10, 2000), it stirs up emotions and it's an opportunity to go over safety precautions." Mailen said. Mailen suggested students walking at night should walk with a friend, in groups or use SafeRide. The SafeRide service runs seven days a week from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., and students can call 864-SAFE for a free ride home. When walking on campus, Mailen said, students should choose well-lit thoroughfares and call police if anything seemed suspicious. Mailen recommended while inside their residences, students should keep their doors locked at all times. Patrick also encouraged students who jogged late at night to tell someone when they left, what route they would take and when they expected to return. — Edited by Joshua Richards / 2A The Inside Front .

Before the sentencing, Elizabeth Bush was asked if she took the .22. caliber revolver to Bishop Neumann Junior-Senior High School with the intention of shooting 13-year-old Kimberly Marchese on March 7. Kimberly was wounded in one shoulder. She said she was upset from being teased by the victim and her friends "My original intent was to shoot myself and show everybody how much it (teasing) hurts so they could see," she told Judge William S. Kieser. The judge asked what changed her mind. "It just happened, sir. I don't know," she said. "I just wanted to scare her." Resignation demanded of New Jersey justice TRENTON, N.J. — The state Senate Judiciary Committee demanded the resignation yesterday of a state Supreme Court justice accused of withholding evidence of racial profiling when he was New Jersey attorney general. In a letter to Acting Gov. Donald T. DiFrancesco, all 11 members of the committee said DiFrancesco should urge Peter G. Verniero to step down immediately. The Judiciary Committee had approved Verniero's appointment to the high court in 1999. Evidence presented during six days of hearings showed Vernier was aware of racial profiling at least three years before he admitted it publicly, the letter said. DiFrancesco said he would make a statement about Verniero by today. "Based on what I read and heard, I'm very much concerned about the integrity of his testimony the first time around," the governor said. "I'm very much upset about all of this, and I'm concerned he was not as forthcoming as he should have been." Verniero's attorney did not immediately return a call for comment yesterday. In testimony last week, Verniero denied withholding evidence of racial profiling from federal investigators but said he regretted not questioning state police more thoroughly about allegations they targeted minority drivers. Lucent denies rumors of planned bankruptcy TRENTON, N.J. - Lucent Technologies stock plunged as much as 30 percent to an all-time low yesterday before the telecommunications giant strongly denied rumors it planned to file for bankruptcy reorganization. TRENTON, N.J. — Lucent "Chapter 11 rumors are absolutely false," said Bill Price, director of corporate media relations at the Murray Hill-based company. "They are ridiculous and pushing people into a panic that does not exist." The market rumors helped send Lucent's already battered stock plummeting, but it recovered somewhat after the denial. Lucent closed down $1.07, or 14 percent, at $6.78 in heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange. That is less than 10 percent of Lucent's $84 high in December 1999. Telecommunications equipment analyst Steve Levy of Lehman Brothers said he did not see bankruptcy on the horizon. In a statement, Lucent chief financial officer Deborah Hopkins called the rumors "baseless and irresponsible." "We are already seeing positive impacts from our comprehensive restructuring program," Hopkins said. "Our $6.5 billion lines of credit provide the financial resources and the financial flexibility to execute our turnaround plan." Turner to buy 30 percent of Russia's indebted NTV WORLD MOSCOW — Journalists desperate to keep Russia's only independent nationwide television network out of government hands cheered Ted Turner's announcement yesterday that he would buy into debt-laden NTV. But Turner's statement was no guarantee the increasingly tense battle between NTV and state-run gas giant Gazprom was nearing an end. NTV sees the takeover as a crude bid by the Kremlin to bring to heel the network known for often-critical reporting on problems. Heightening the dispute, the validity of Gazprom's takeover of NTV fell into doubt yesterday as a crucial shareholder denied having supported the move. Gazprom, which holds 46 percent of shares in NTV, purged the station's leadership in a shareholders' meeting Tuesday, after tapling up with U.S.-based Capital Research, which holds 4.4 percent of NTV. But Capital Research spokesman Chuck Fredhofoher said representatives of his company had abstained from voting in the meeting. Turner, meanwhile, agreed in principle to purchase about 30 percent from NTV founder Vladimir Gusinsky, but he would only have a minority share. It was unclear whether that would invalidate the decision, as NTV claimed. Gazprom tried to justify the takeover in financial terms, saying the company would never be able to pay off its $127 million in debts.

Senate approved recommendations from the Reserve Account task force about what groups and events merited Senate dollars. The most expensive allocation went to the Langston Hughes Symposium for $22,500. The symposium will be Feb. 8 and 9, 2002. The money will go toward a speaking fee for actor Danny Glover. The symposium will also honor the late Shyra McGee, a former student senator who died in car accident in February. The reserve account contains $428,000 that had been allocated to student organizations but was not spent. Senate also granted $15,000 to the KU History Project; $14,000 for a Graduate School entrepreneurship program; $13,793 to the Service Learning Center; $12,925 for KUJH mobile production equipment; $11,571 for a sound stage for Student Union Activities; $10,000 for a new van for the KU Marching Jayhawks; $6,600 to the Writers Roost; $5,000 for a survey by the Commission on the Status of Women; and $3,000 for a new copy machine for Haworth Hall. Ben Walker, student body president, said the task force had received numerous proposals for how to spend the money. Task force members said proposals from purchasing a new snowmobile a group to building a stage by Potter Lake were discussed. Erin Simpson, task force member and off-campus senator, said she thought recent University budget cuts played a role in the number of proposals the group received. "Everyone's strapped for money at the end of the year," she said. "I know I broke right now." There is still about $160,000 remaining in the account. Walker said the task force would continue with allocations next year. Walker told the Senate Finance Committee last week that he would encourage the next student body president to assemble a diverse group of senators for next year's task force. Senate also passed a bill allowing religious and partisan groups to receive money. The bill would allow Senate to pay for secular expenses, such as office supplies, but not things like salaries for religious officials. The bill also set standards for allocating money to groups. Senate will take into account the group's history, number of members, degree of interest in the organization and the amount of money Senate has available for allocation at any given time. Walker said Senate considered those things now, but something concrete was needed in the rules and regulations handbook. "It is something to point to when people ask why we didn't give them money," Walker said. "It's not because of what they're representing."

Rape, physical and emotional abuse, molestation, survival and breaking the silence were recurring themes. Words like bullets, knives and threats appeared on many shirts. One shirt designer described witnessing her father murder her mother. Lea Burgess-Carland, a Lawrence junior majoring in women's studies, wrote on a blue T-shirt about being sexually abused by a teacher during a summer acting class. "It's a real release to get it out there," said Burgess-Carland, who works at Women's Transitional Care Services. "I hope that when women see it, it will inspire them to use their voices." She said it meant a lot her shirt would remain in the project, which began in Massachusetts in 1990, for years to come. The project included a workshop with T-shirts, markers and a large tarp spread out on the ground on which passersby could stop to create a shirt. But Burgess-Carland said fewer people had done so than last year, when a tent was provided for privacy. "There's a real stigma," she said. "Women are made to feel ashamed about it." Kate Cavanaugh, a Lawrence graduate student who also works at Women's Transitional Care Services, hoped the display would make students think about the realities of the issue. people can volunteer at a local level or get literature and educate themselves about issues surrounding violence against women and children," Cavanaugh said.

Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, said he wanted the administration to consider using money from its partnership with Coca-Cola for minority scholarships as well as appoint a committee on the status of minorities to "serve as a third-party examiner to evaluate the state of affairs and address potential solutions to the problem." The University ranks 10th in the Big 12 conference in the percentage of minority students, ahead of only Kansas State University and Iowa State University, according to fall 2000 enrollment figures. "I think it's going to have a big impact," Marshall said of the report. "The administration cares, but I don't know how much of a priority it is. This report will make it a priority." Currently, Coca-Cola funds are disbursed into three areas of the University, including National Merit scholarship packages, which receive half of the money. And while the number of incoming merit scholarls has doubled since 1995, the number of incoming minorities has remained stagnant. Marshall said he would like the Coke money to be redistributed into four groups to include scholarships for minorities. The new commission, similar to the Minority Issues Task Force created in the late 1980s, would include members from the administration, multicultural offices. Student Senate and minority student organizations. The Senate Committee on Minority Recruitment and Retention presented the report, which documents the goals set forth by the chancellor during his first speech to the University of Kansas in 1995 and the progress made toward those goals. During Hemenway's Faculty Convocation address, he said the University planned to recruit 200 minority faculty members by 2000 and increase the minority student percentage to 10 percent of total student enrollment. While the student rate peaked at 9.9 percent in 1998, 2 percent higher than this year, the number of tenured or tenure-track minority faculty is short of the original goal at 129, according to the most recent figures. Mercado said the Senate report was good and hoped the University would follow up on it. But she said she would have like to see it focus a little more on retention and not just recruitment. but pointed out that Oklahoma University, which has a 22 percent minority population, has a recruiter for each minority group. Marshall praised the work of the sole minority recruiter in the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, Claudia Mercado, The report concluded by stating "Given the University's ignoble history, we fully realize that the University will most probably publicly embrace what we have written, issue press release upon press release claiming its reverence for diversity and democracy, and then do nothing to alter the shameful homogeneity of its campus. "Even though it has given us little reason to, we love, trust and have faith in the University of Kansas." The report will be presented to the administration later this week.

Sarah Hill, public relations conferences coordinator for the All Scholarship Hall Council, said she attended the meeting to learn how scholarship halls could work with the neighborhood to solve problems that concerned everyone. She said availability of parking was a problem for scholarship hall residents. "The KU parking department oversells our lots considerably every year." Hill said. "They have no plans to implement enough parking for us." Marci Francisco, president of University of Kansas Housing Association and Oread resident, said parking was a problem throughout the neighborhood. She said the neighborhood had a fundamental lack of available parking, and part of the problem was residents of scholarship halls and Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin residence hall parking in the streets when University parking wasn't available. Hill said many scholarship hall residents had opposed a limit of parking permits because those living in those halls worked and needed their cars to get to work. Holly Krebs, Student Senate Student Rights Committee chairwoman, said Senate hoped the new city housing ordinance requiring inspection of residences in neighborhoods zoned for single-families would spread to the Oread neighborhood. The Oread neighborhood is largest zoned for dormitory, duplex and multi-family use. "We're very much in favor of the inspection being citywide," Krebs said. "It seems like this would be the prime neighborhood where you would want an inspection program." Charlie Goff III, coordinator for the neighborhood association, said members of the community could call him at 842-5440 with any questions or concerns. Residents who have a complaint about noise or parking violations in the neighborhood can call Goff and he will make the complaint to the city. Hill said many residents in the scholarship halls were afraid to walk back from their cars late at night because of the lack of lighting in the streets. The association identified this as one issue to bring before the public and the University. — Edited by Jacob Roddy MASTERCRAFT We have the key to comfortable & affordable living Whether you prefer to live alone or with Whether you prefer to live alone roommates, we have a home designed with you in mind.

Candidates for student body of college and vice president was almost complete. Candidates from both coalitions? Check. An impartial moderator? Check. Substantive questions? Check. Supporters from both coalitions? Check. Undecided students interested in hearing what candidates had to say? Oods. Someone forgot about those. Of the nearly 100 students at the debate Tuesday night, few (if any) hadn't already made up their minds. As I gazed around the Kansas Union Ballroom, almost everyone I recognized was a member of one of the coalitions. Optimistically, I assumed that some of those I didn't recognize must be students who wanted to gean more about the coalitions and candidates before they voted. I was wrong. As the debates began, each section of chairs — one on each side of a center isle — became a coalition's cheering section. VOICE sat on the west side, Delta Force on the east. When VOICE presidential candidate Jessica Bankston slammed her a point, cheers erupted from the west side. When Delta Force presidential candidate Justin Mills P. S. G. Nathan Willis associate opinion editor opinion@kansan.com At one point, Bankston asked VOICE Student Senate candidates to stand up. Almost everyone from the west side did. returned the slam, applause burst forth from the east. It felt like a volleyball match with the center aisle as the net. Cheer louder than the other side, score a point. Any undecided students who were there must have felt out of place among such partisan rancor. I know I did. An event with the primary purpose of informing students turned into little more than two campaign rallies held at the same place at the same time. Like amateur beauty queens parading in front of their families in their living rooms, the candidates did little more than strut around and flash a smile to people who already supported them. As Jessica Bankston said during her response to the last question Tuesday night, "Most students don't even realize what Student Senate does." Having debates at which no students without aspirations of joining Senate show up doesn't help. What makes it especially irritating is that the night held so much potential. True, there were topics such as lobbying that would make most students yawn, but questions about the newspaper readership program, the new recreation center, parking and a possible new snack bar on campus dealt directly with student concerns. Each side said some dumb things, but each said smart things as well. True, both sides bickered some, but more often they stuck to the issues. It was a civil debate, full of issues relevant to students. But it was a debate few students heard. As poor as turnout is for Student Senate elections, about 4,000 students still vote every year. The debate, contrary to its express purpose, informed almost none of them. I've heard people argue that the debate still helps some voters because they read about it in the Kansan the next day. That may be true, but if that's the only good the debate does, it would be much easier for the Kansan simply to conduct in-depth interviews with the candidates. It would save the time and hassle of setting up the debate and provide a higher-quality story than the one on the debates, which the reporter has to pound out on deadline. I'm sure many people involved with the election would find that option unacceptable, and they should. After all, students should have the opportunity to witness their candidates speaking first-hand. The elections commission and candidates had the best intention with the debate. The commission wants more students to vote. The candidates, assuming they believe in the strength of their platforms and debating skills, would like the opportunity to win more converts. That's why the format of the debates needs changed. Change the time. Change the place. Change how it's promoted. But please, don't be afraid to change something. In terms of informing students, it couldn't be any worse than it is now.

No talking, and put your guns on the floor. movedzoo.com Graham Moyer/KANSAN Kansan report card Pass: The University Registrar's office.

Perspective Satire page walks fine line between fun and offensive Go to the web site or "America's finest News Source," and you'll see a handful of intriguing headlines. "Pillarsy Doughboy Killed By Skittish, Broom-Wielding Housewife." "Girlfriend Changes Man Into Someone She's Not Interested In." *Cardinals Blasted For Negative Campaign* *Treaties In Palmetto Bee.* The site is theion.com. Its news is questionable, but its humor quotient is high — and the Hilltopics page of Monday's Kansan tried to follow suit. Some thought the April Fools' day joke was funny. Others thought it fell short. And then there were those who were just offended. PETER TURNER Dave Braham, Houston senior, wrote a letter to the editor that one of the articles, "Woman beaten with ugly stick," became the topic in one of his classes. Leita Schultes readers representative opinion@kansan.com "Personally, I was extremely offended," Braham said, adding that the story put women in an inferior position based only upon their looks. Nathan Willis, the author of the parody, justified himself by saying it was never his intention to portray negative stereotypes. "Attitudes of women being beaten with ugly sticks or just being beaten at all tells the reader that first, a woman must be pretty to be safe or taken seriously, and second, if anyone is going to be beaten it will be a woman," he said. "Several women in the newsroom read it and thought it was funny," he said. "Potentially, any humor can be offensive to someone." "Did you realize all of the stereotypes and negative images you were supporting when you wrote this article?" she asked in a letter. "And if so, how do you justify this as funny?" Willis also said he was trying to make a point about society at large, with statements such as Julie DePauw, St. Louis senior, agreed. police have "cautioned everyone to avoid contact with males." The comment, he said, was aimed at police and newspapers who identify suspects as African-American. "That casts suspicion on a huge population and is unfair to everyone in that population," he said. "We were trying to make fun of that." The easy reaction to those who didn't see the humor is to tell them to lighten up. Tom Eblen, the Kansan's general manager, was also disappointed in the page's final result, saying "I was less amused than I wanted to be" He found the page juvenile and said several aspects were offensive. But he added that "any satire can be offensive. It really has to be very well crafted." But that may not be the best response. That would have been satire, he said. Both men said satire usually needed to be more than funny — it had to have a point. But both also acknowledged the possibility of an age gap between themselves and the students who read the Kansan. Malcolm Gibson, assistant professor of journalism, questioned why the "ugly stick" story wasn't about a man instead of a woman. "That would have been satire." he said. Kristi Elliott, features editor, said the spoof page was an annual tradition at the Kansan on April Fools' Day, and compared it not only to The Onion, but also to The Daily Show and David Letterman — all of which have met with success. She said the page could have been improved if more time had been spent on it (couldn't everything?), but regardless, she thought it appealed to students. The Kansas should walk the fine line between offensive and funny more often and have a parody page on a regular basis. It would get more students to pick up the paper. She was right. The page was humorous, and the majority of the people I talked to agreed. And hopefully once they had it in their hands, they'd read some front-page news as well.

Permit hike unfortunate but necessary Students will help foot the bill for a parking garage with disappointing earnings. While student fees will be increasing across the board next year, it appears likely that the price of parking permits will also increase, saddling students with even more costs in next school year. Parking permits for students are expected to increase from $75 to $90. Although the increase is necessary, it's also unfortunate because students are being forced to pay for a parking garage failing to meet expectations. The fee for student parking permits has not increased since 1997, mostly because of the chancellor's promise that the fee would not be increased for four years while 2,000 new spaces were added by the year 2000. This goal was met thanks to the new garage. Although the garage has added spaces, it has also added debt. Donna Hultine, assistant director of the parking department, said the University was committed to paying for the garage. If the cost of permits did not increase, then the University would be unable to fulfill its commitment, as the parking garage has not raised the revenues the department expected. Hultine said she didn't expect the garage to increase its profits next year. She also said the fee increase is not definite yet, but is probable. It now awaits the chancellor's approval. The fee increase is necessary, especially because the fee has not increased during the past four years. Hultine said the parking department had not increased the fee for student permits despite rising costs of salaries and other costs required to run the department But the large increase seems excessive, especially considering that the increase in 1997 was from $50 for residence halls and $53 for yellow permits to the current $75. An increase to $50 for the upcoming year would make permits for 2001 nearly double the cost students had to pay in 1997. The fee increase is clearly necessary, but it is highly unfortunate that the students are stuck with the tab for the parking garage — especially when so few of those spaces are reserved for students.

David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, said the computer lab, which would allow students to drink and eat, would be finalized by the end of this semester. The computer lab will have 48 computers and will replace some of the Union's business offices on the fourth floor. The offices will be moved to the third floor, taking the space of two alcoves and some tables in the Union Square food court, he said. The Union had planned the construction of a convenience store, which would be finalized in a 90-day period and located on the fourth floor, where an information klosk is currently located, Mucci said. The klosk will be relocated to the end of Jayhawk walk, also on the fourth floor. Pat Beard, director of building services for the Kansas and Burge unions, said the University would open bids today for the construction of the convenience store, which would also be open 24 hours. "We're very confident we'll get both projects accomplished," Beard said. Mucet said he would also start planning for a similar convenience store in the Burge Union. David Johnston, marketing coordinator for the Kansas and Burge unions, said the Union also planned to build a CampusLink information center, which will include four computer stations, two televisions, a University Daily Kansan distribution box, campus maps and general University information. Johnston said the information center would be funded completely by advertising boards but added the Union was avoiding alcohol and tobacco advertisers. What: The Kansas Union plans to add a 24-hour computer lab, 24-hour convenience store, CampusLink information center, two televisions and a Kansan distribution box. What: Union directors expect construction to be complete by late fall. UNION ADDITIONS When: Union directors expect construction to be complete by late summer or early fall. "Having advertising annoys me," he said. Mike Ochs, Lawrence junior, said he liked the idea of having the information center in the Union, but he would feel intruded upon. Ochs said he would probably use the center only to check his e-mails without paying attention to the ads. Johnston said the initiative had received positive response from Student Senate. Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, said Mucc had been doing an excellent job in making the Union more friendly to students and making them feel as if it was their living room. Mucci also anticipated the construction of a Burger King restaurant, which would be operated by the Union, in the model of the Pizza Hut store located on the Union's third floor. Mucci said he didn't know when the store would start operating because it was still in the design stage. Edited by Melinda Weaver Accused Republican chairman makes apology, maintains his job By the Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Republican Party is allowing the head of its college recruitment arm, accused of sexually harassing female colleagues and misusing party funds, to keep his job with an anology. The Republican National Committee said yesterday it found no evidence that the actions of Scott Stewart, who holds the $50,000-a-year post of chairman of the college republicans organization, met the legal definition of sexual harassment. However, the investigation by the party and an outside law firm concluded Stewart's conduct was "unprofessional and inappropriate for a work setting." The national committee gave Stewart a warning and ordered him to apologize in writing to the three women whose com- return calls requesting further comment. Others said keeping Stewart in charge of the GOP's main youth outreach effort sent a bad message. "It's another reminder from the Republican hierarchy that they don't care about the harassment of women unless it's from the other side of the aisle and they can use it for political gain," said Kim Gandy, executive vice president of the National "I find it disturbing,but I, unfortunately,don't find it surprising." Kim Gandy plaints, first reported by The Associated Press, led to the inquiry. Executive vice president. National Organization for Women "We are firmly committed to ensuring that any organization with which we work operates in accordance with the same principles that govern the RNC," representative Mark Miner said. The committee provides the College Republican National Committee, which has 1,000 campus chapters and 100,000 members who recruit, register and train students for GOP causes, with office space and a majority of its $200,000-a-year budget. Stewart, who previously denied what he called "frivolous" allegations, said in a statement he was relieved the investigation was finished. He did not Organization for Women. "I find it disturbing but I, unfortunately, don't find it surprising." Former college national committee executive director John Yob said it was troubling to have someone who had acknowledged inappropriate behavior with the apology in such a position. "We need a change," said Yob, who is challenging Stewart's bid for a second two-year term in elections in July Jennifer Gorski, Kathleen Kirst and Youmna Salameh alleged in affidavits that Stewart made frequent unwanted sexual advances and regularly spoke obscenely to and about female employees. They also alleged Stewart authorized the use of several thousand dollars in GOP funds to pay for his and others' personal expenses, such as cellular telephone bills, plane tickets and campaign mailings. Gorski was an office manager who was fired by Stewart last year. Kirst was an intern in 1999. Salameh worked at another national committeeaffiliated organization next door to the college Republicans. Continued from page 1A worry about any contracts." To give students a greater opportunity for individual advising, the freshman-sophomore advising center was created three years ago, said Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, director of the center. They wanted to give students more individual attention with an adviser assigned to each student. Tuttle said the center was starting to make a difference, because surveys reported a 10 percent improvement in meeting students' expectations during advising. She said juniors and seniors should plan ahead with graduation checks and use the resources within their schools. Edited by Melissa Cooley Cracked-up criminals Continued from page 1A mistaken for a criminal. On a really cold day a few years ago, a man wearing a ski mask walked into a bank on Sixth Street. The line was long, and he had to wait a few minutes before it was his turn to stand at the counter. The bank employees, certain they were about to be robbed, kept looking at the mask and pressing their panic buttons. When it was the masked man's turn, he approached the counter, made his transaction and left the bank. Police caught up with the man one block away from the bank. He had just been cold and kept his mask on for warmth. From the Kansas Highway Patrol: A victim of circumstance A victim of circumstance A man's car broke down on the highway, and he started to walk to get help. A highway patrolman driving by offered to give the man a ride and asked the man for his ID in case the car was in an accident while he was riding with the officer. The man gave his correct ID to the patrolman, and it turned out the man was wanted on a murder warrant from five years before. The patrolman had a tape recorder and video camera in the car, and when the man realized what had happened and called his girlfriend to tell her he was about to get caught, it was all on tape. — Edited by Melinda Weaver Leasing NOW for Fall TOWNHOMES APARTMENTS To do list: 3.

On Monday afternoon, the Hawks scored an equally disappointing 296 after the northern California temperatures dipped into the low 50s and the winds swirled around the course. Kansas was in 13th place after Monday's play. Coach Ross Randall had promised that the Pasatiempo Golf Club course would play much tougher after the rounds last year when some of the lowest scores in tournament history were shot. He wasn't lying. The weather had something to do with that. Randall said nobody got out of their rain gear or took off their stocking hats because of cool conditions. Still, team members think that much of the inconsistency was because of its lack of practice in the recent months. "After Monday we just needed to play as good as we can," said senior Andy Stewart. "We were trying to get back into it, and we felt that fifth-place would be a possible fignish." The Jayhawks exceeded their expectations on Tuesday, as they shot a round of 277, which was the tournament's lowest round. Kansas finished with a 54-hole total of 872, earning a third-place finish. "We've got eight to 10 days to do some practicing, and we need to take advantage of our time off from traveling." Ross Randall Men's golf coach The No. 31 Oregon Ducks won the tournament with an 850. "Moving up 10 spots is a lot, and we ended up beating some good teams," Randall said. The team is back home in Lawrence with more than a week until its next tournament and plenty of time to examine its recent woes in the early rounds. "We've got eight to 10 days to do some practicing, and we need to take advantage of our time off from traveling," Randall said. All of the miles the Jayhawks have traveled in the last four weeks have begun to take their toll. Since March 12, Kansas has played in South Carolina, Louisiana and twice in California. "It definitely wears you out because this is our fourth week in a row with a tournament," Stewart said. "This week off will be awesome." Randall hopes that the team can achieve some success in the national competition which, as he said, would help the team pick and choose its tournaments in the spring. "That's just the way the schedule worked out," Randall said. "We like going to tournaments, but unless we do better at nationals, we will be at their mercy of when they want to schedule them." The Jayhawks will earn more frequent flyer miles as they travel to the East Coast to play in the Intercollegiate 2001 in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Tuesday, April 14 and Wednesday, April 15. — Edited by Brandy Straw NEW YORK — Baseball broke a big barrier on opening day, with the average salary pushing past $2 million for the first time. Average baseball salary hits record high The Associated Press Nearly half the players in the major leagues - 425 of 854 - will make $1 million or more, according to a study by The Associated Press. The average s al a r y increased 13.9 percent to $2,264,403. . according to the AP study, which reviewed the contracts of all major leaguers on opening-day rosters and disabled lists. Since 1967, the average salary has increased 118-fold from $19,000 while the Consumer Price Index has merely quadrupled. Opening-day salaries totaled $1.934 billion. "If the owners have got it, the players are going to get it," said Chicago Cubs outfieldier Rondell White. "You hear owners complaining, but they're still paying." Texas shortstop Alex Rodriguez led the way with a $22 million salary, including a prorated share of his $10 million signing bonus. Rodriguez. beginning a record $252 million, 10- year contract, is alone responsible for adding $25,761 to the average salary. Los Angeles pitcher Kevin Brown was a distant second at $15,714,286, followed by New York Metts catcher Mike Piazza ($13,571,429) and Arizona pitcher Randy Johnson ($13.35 million). The World Series champion New York Yankees opened with the top payroll of all 30 teams for the third- straight year; at $109,791,893. Boston was just behind at $109,558,908, followed by Los Angeles at $108,980,952. At the other end, Minnesota is last at $24.4 million. Oakland, regarded as baseball's best young team, is 29th at $33.8 million. The median salary — the point which has an equal number of players above and below — rose to $75,000 from $750,000 at the start of last season and $500,000 two years ago. "It's unbelievable. It's mind-bogging to me. I'm glad I stuck around," said Lee Stevens, a 33-year-old first baseman with Montreal who will make $4 million this season. "Baseball's very popular right now. The economics of the game are growing. Where it will end, nobody knows. It depends on how much the owners are willing to spend," he said. Still, it's less than the NBA's estimated average of $3.53 million this season. The NFL average last year was $1.2 million and the estimated NHL average this season is $1.4 million. Contrasting with the millionaires in sports, the median household income last year in the United States was $40,816, according to the Census Bureau, and the average was $54,842. With a $21 million base salary, Rodriguez earns $114,754 per day this season. "I'm almost embarrassed and ashamed of this contract," Rodriguez said after reporting to spring training. "Now, there's this '252 tag over my head." Because the Yankees and Red Sox have more players on the disabled list, the Dodgers have the highest average salary at $3,757,964, to $3,541,674 for the Yankees and $3,423,716 for the Red Sox. Boston would leap past the Yankees into the No.1 spot as soon as David Cone is activated from the disabled list. The pitcher's base salary increases from $1 million to $2 million as soon as he is on the active roster. Baseball owners, many looking for major changes after their labor contract with players expires Oct. 31; can take heart from one thing: the rate of increase slowed for the thirdstraight season, down from 5.6 percent last year and 19.3 percent two years ago. The average salary broke the $100,000 barrier in 1979 and topped $1 million in 1992. While the average tops $2 million; it was on Feb. 7, 1982, that outfielder George Foster became the first player to sign a contract averaging $2 million, a $10.2 million, five-year deal with the New York Mets. Torn elbow ligament ends Reds reliever's season The Associated Press CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Reds reliever Scott Williams, the NL Rookie of the year in 1999, has a torn elbow ligament and will need sea- reconstructive surgery. Williamson struggled in his two appearances this week and REDS had swelling in the elbow after a 3-2 victory Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. A magnetic resonance imaging test yesterday found a complete tear in the ligament that runs inside the right elbow. Winchester from Triple-A Louisville and placed Williamson on the 60-day disabled list. The club will send the MRI to several specialists for second opinions before surgery is performed in the next few days. "With a young pitcher like Scott Williamson, who has an otherwise pristine elbow, there's a good chance of a comeback in a year's time." Dr. Timothy Kremchek said. The extent of the injury was a surprise. Williamson only grudgingly admitted to manager Bob Boone that his elbow was sore after his wild appearance in Tuesday night's game. The Reds called up reliever Scott Williamson threw a wild pitch, let in a run and hit Jason Kendall in the back with the bases loaded, forcing in another run. During Williamson's three-batter stint, Boone took trainer Greg Lynn with him to the mound to check on the right-hander. "I said, 'Something's not right,'" Boone said. "He said, I'm fine, I can finish it. I pinned him down about it after the game. When he missed that far and hit Kendall, to me that showed something was not right." Kremchek examined Williamson, found some swelling in the elbow and set up the MRI. The team originally thought Williamson's problem was only tendinitis. During a news conference that announced the injury, Williamson sat in the corner of the room with his chin buried in his hand, staring aimlessly ahead. After Kremchek discussed the reliever's outlook, Reds spokesman Rob Butcher went to Williamson, bent down and quietly asked whether he cared to talk. The pitcher, who appeared to be near tears, shook his head. Kremchek said it was impossible to determine whether the ulnar collateral ligament had been frayed for some time or whether Williamson ripped it on one pitch. He said all of Williamson's elbow problems in the past had been minor and gave no hint of a significant injury. The Reds have been concerned about the stress that Williamson's hard-driving delivery puts on his shoulder and elbow. Until Tuesday, there had been no major problems as a result of it. Williamsia, a starter throughout his minor league career, won a spot in the bullpen with an overwhelming spring training in 1999. He quickly became a setup man and co-closer with Danny Graves, going 12-7 with 19 saves and a 2.41 ERA in 62 relief appearances. He struggled at the start of last season and was moved into the rotation. He was 5-8 with a3.29 ERA in 10 starts and 38 relief appearances, and set a club record by throwing 21 wild pitches. Williamson missed time because of a sore lower back and broken toes on his right foot. He did extended workouts in the offseason, hoping to win a spot in the rotation this year but lost out to Chris Reitsma when the pitching staff was decided last week.

Because Andy Morris, a senior and multievent athlete, is redshirting, the Jayhawks did not compete in any of yesterday's opening day events at the Texas Relays. The Relays will feature 5,000 high school, collegiate and elite athletes in 117 events. Running events will begin today with the men's and women's 3,000-meter runs, and end Saturday with the 1600 relay. Coach Stanley Redwine said the team was ready to resume competition after a successful showing at the Oklahoma State meet. "The athletes were coming off spring break two weeks ago and we thought as coaches we needed time to prepare for this meet." Redwine said. "Now we are back on routine for the outdoor season and we are looking for some great performances from our athletes." Redwine also said the meet was Redwine also said the meet was special for the team. "The Texas Relays is a great competition for our athletes," Redwine said. "The competition at a meet like this is strong and we want our athletes to compete in the best field possible." Michael Sudhalter NCAA BASKETBALL Ex-Nebraska coach Nee takes job at Duquesne PITTSBURGH — Danny Nee, fired by Nebraska a year ago, is leaving Robert Morris after one season to replace Darelle Porter as Duquesne's basketball coach, sources told The Associated Press. Nee, 7-22 at Robert Morris this season following a messy firing at Nebraska, met yesterday with Duquesne athletic director Brian Colleary to formalize a contract PETER M. KLEIN Nee: former Nebraska coach hired at Duquesne worth about $250,000 a year. Nee will have only to walk down the street to change schools. Robert Morris' primary campus is in Moon Township, near the Pittsburgh airport, but it also has a downtown campus only a block away from Duguese's. Porter, a former Pitt player, resigned under pressure last month after going 9-21 in his third consecutive 20-loss season. The Dukes have had seven consecutive losing seasons and haven't appeared in the NCAA tournament since 1977. Nee was 11-19 overall and 4-12 in the Big 12 Conference in his 14th and final season at Nebraska in the 1999-2000 season, before he was fired amid falling attendance and criticism his program had slumped. Nee's experience — he coached seven NCAA tournament teams at Nebraska and Ohio — apparently was the deciding factor in his hiring. Former UMass coach Flint will lead Drexel PHILADELPHIA — Bruiser Flint, who resigned at Massachusetts after a 15-15 season, has taken the Drexel coaching job and will return to his hometown. He replaces Steve Seymour, who was fired last month after a 15-12 season. Flint said the deal would be worth about $200,000 a year for four years. He was to be introduced today at Dexrel. Drexel was upset by sixth-seeded Northeastern in the America East tournament quarterfinals this season. The Dragons are moving to the Colonial League next year Flint, 35, was a coach at UMass for 12 years and resigned under pressure March 12 with one year remaining on his contract. Now he's back in the city where he graduated from St. Joseph's in 1987. Flint, an assistant under John Calipari for seven seasons at UMass, became coach on June 8, 1996, two days after Calipari's departure for the New Jersey Nets. It was Flint's first head coaching job. At UMass, Flint went 86-72, making the NCAA Tournament in his first two seasons This season, Umass failed to earn an invitation to the NCAA tournament or the NIT after losing to Temple 76-65 in the Atlantic 10 tournament final. MLB Rockies acquire Leiter in six-player trade MILWAUKEE — Mark Leiter is on the move again. Acquired by Colorado last week in a trade with the New York Mets, Leiter was part of a six-player trade between the Rockies and Milwaukee Brewers yesterday. Leiter, a right-handed setup man who missed last season after a right shoulder operation, was sent to Milwaukee along with pitcher Mike DeJean and infielder Elvis Pena. In exchange, the Rockies got pitchers Juan Acevedo and Kane Davis, and minor league infielder Jose Flores. Leiter, 37, last played a full season in 1998 in Philadelphia, where he went 7-5 with a 3.55 ERA and 23 saves. He's also pitched for the Yankees, Tigers, Angels, Giants, Expos and Mariners in his career. In 315 career games, Leiter is 63-72 with a 4.60 ERA and 26 saves.

M And, when he's not play ing, to feast on Texas steak, a dish he's already learned to enjoy. The NBA's first Chinese player signed a two-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks yesterday, and now will take his 7-foot-1, 255-point frame to the bench to watch what he called the "cruel" style of American basketball. "Mentally, I have to be ready because the NBA is a very physical game," he said. "I'm very excited," Wang, 23, said through an interpreter. A second-round draft pick in 1999, Wang will get very few minutes this year as the Mavericks, who clinched their first playoff berth in 11 years Tuesday, try to get the best seeding possible for the postseason. I very excited, Wang. 23 said through an interpreter. Wang's arrival in the United States was delayed by his commitment to the Chinese Army. He recently completed his season in China's professional league, leading his team to its sixth straight championship. After a news conference at the team's training facility, Wang was to practice with the team for the first time. He could play as early as tonight at home against Atlanta.

Photo by Laurie Sisk/KANSAN RU By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com Kansan writer/sportwriter Wichita State pitchers Erich Bryan and Reuben Krebs silenced the already dormant Kansas offense in the Shockers' 6-0 victory last night in Hoglund Ballpark. KANSAN.COM/SPORTS Bryan struck out eight Jayhawk batters in his six innings of work and Krebs closed out the game by striking out three in the last three innings. Kansas (14-19) managed only seven singles in the contest. Kansas coach Bobby Randall said that although the Shockers pitched well, Kansas frequently aided their cause by striking out. of credit, but you can't win any ball games striking out as much as we did tonight. If we lose and strike out four times, I'm OK with it. But not with 11 times." "Bryan was good tonight, and Krebs was all right," Randall said. "Those guys deserve a lot Kansas swept both games from Wichita State in last year's series, and senior John Nelson it said appeared as if the Shockers (21-11) came to Lawrence for revenge. Wichita State took a 2-0 lead on single runs in both the second and third innings. Kansas mounted its biggest threat in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Jayhawks loaded the bases on back-to-back singles by junior Kevin Farmer and Nelson. Junior Ryan Klocksien drew a two-out walk, loading the bases for senior Jesse Gremminger. But Bryan struck out Gremminger and ended the "They came out playing real hard," said Nelson, who singled twice for the Jayhawks. "We knew they would come in gunning for us, especially after what happened last year. I knew those guys had a lot of pride, and they showed it." Nelson said that leaving 12 men on base was unacceptable and that the team needed to work harder in practice to shake the pressure of hitting with men on base. inning. Overall, the Jayhawks left 12 runners on base. "I think there is pressure, there's always pressure," Nelson said. "But you've got to believe in yourself up here, and that comes from getting your confidence in practice." The Shockers pushed across two runs in the sixth and two more in the eighth, increasing their lead to 6-0. With last night's loss, Kansas' losing streak stretched to eight games. During those eight games, Kansas is averaging only 2.6 runs and Randall said adjustments must be made quickly. "We're a little too reluctant to change things that aren't working," Randall said. "We've been saying that if it doesn't work, fix it. If it's broke, fix it. And right now, we got too many guys that are broke."

The second game was a different story for the Jayhawks. After the Bears tagged Campbell for a run in the bottom of the third, the Jayhawks scored three runs in the next half inning. Campbell (2-3) took the loss for Kansas, while Niemlwall (4-8) came away with the win. The Jayhawks are next in action against Texas Tech at 1 p.m. on Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. Bv Brandon Stinnett — Shawn Hutchinson Kansan sportswriter But Bryan looked pretty impressive last night against Kansas. The redshirt senior dominated Jayhawk hitters, scattering five hits and striking out eight in six scoreless innings. Bryan's excellence powered Wichita State to a 60 victory and added the Shockers (21-11) to a long list of teams to conquer Kansas (14-19) at Hoglund Park this season. Erich Bryan isn't Wichita State's ace pitcher. He's not the Shockers' second or third best pitcher, either. Bryan was relieved by Reuben Kerbs in the seventh inning, and he, too, mowed down Kansas hitters. Kerbs surrendered three hits and struck out three batters in three innings. Ironically, both pitchers claimed to be off their games. First baseman Kevin Wheeler becomes one of eight strikeout victims for Wichita State hurler Erich Bryan at Hoglund Ballpark last night. Shockers' pitchers shut out the Jayhawks 6-0, striking out 11 KU batters. Photo by Laurie Sisk/KANSAN "I didn't have the command I needed on the fastball, and I think my change-up could have been a bit better." Bryan said. "What saved我 was my slider." Bryan, who improved to 3-0 with the win, wasn't even in the starting rotation to begin the season. But he was called on after the Shockers' top pitcher, Adam Peterson, went down with an injury. His ability to play at all was in question early in the season because of a nagging shoulder injury, but he has been a pillar of consistency for the Shockers. "Coming off a shoulder surgery and two years of frustration and rehabilitation, we all pull for him so much," said Wichita State coach Gene Stephenson. "He's a great leader and now he's able to lead by example like he wants to." Despite his dominance, Bryan said Kansas, which dropped its 10th home game of the season, asserted itself as a solid offensive ball club. "This is a good hitting team," he said. They swung at some good pitches and hit them hard." Still, the Jayhawks were unable to get on the scoreboard. But they did threaten to break up the shutout in the ninth inning. With two outs, Kansas senior John Nelson and sophomore Jason Jappon hit back-to-back singles. The next batter, Ryan Klocksien, hit a shot to shallow center field that appeared destined to drop in for a hit. But Wichita State center fielder Dustin Hawkins sprinted up and made a diving catch. "My stomach dropped for a second," Kerbs said. "I wanted to keep it. Erich Bryan deserved to get the win with a shutout." Bryan said there was never any doubt. "I had confidence the whole time," he said. "He's a very good center fielder. It was good to see him make that catch, though. We definitely needed it." Edited by Melinda Weaver Davison should lead Jayhawk secondary By Jeff Denton sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter As Kansas wide receiver Roger Ross cut sharply toward the sideline yesterday, senior cornerback Andrew Davison was in his hip pocket — less than half a foot separated the two competitors. Both Kansas athletes lunged for the football, but it was Davison, the 5-foot-11, 195-pound defensive back from Detroit, who made the play. After cleanly deflecting the ball with his right hand, the smiling Davison trotted back to the huddle. He nodded his head, clapped his hands, and then approached the line of scrimmage to take on his next victim. Kansas coach Terry Allen was not surprised by his senior's savvy. "We are a vastly improved secondary." Allen said last month prior to the first day of spring practice. "I think Andrew Davison will be the leader back there. He has had a picture perfect offseason who has earned the respect from our football team." He described his defensive philosophy as aggressive, but simple. The play might occur 20 or 30 yards downfield, but most battles are won and lost at the line of scrimmage, he said. XU Davison has been a permanent piece on the Kansas defense since his freshman "Recievers don't like to get jammed at the line because they got taken away from season. He has started 27 consecutive games for the Jayhawks. Davison: he had a tremendous offseason their routes." Davison said. "Getting up in the receiver's face is a technique that I learned in high school. I'm a quick corner and try to take advantage of that." Defensive coordinator and secondary coach Tom Haynes last coached college football at Oklahoma in 1994. After Oklahoma, he was employed in the pros as secondary coach for the Washington Redskins. Davison is also a quick study. "Coach Hayes points out all my little mistakes," Davison said. "Whether it's learning coverages or working on techniques, he pushes me to be better. He is helping me with all the things I need to get better at for the chance to play in the NFL." It has been said that when Hayes talks, players listen. Davison takes in every word. Davison knows he is a long way from playing his favorite game on Sundays, but said he had no fears when it came to his job on Saturdays. His game is fueled by confidence. His game is ruled by confidence. "I respect everyone I go against," he said. "But I don't fear any receiver in the country." ■ Kansas welcomed five fresh faces to its staff in the off season. In the past 48 hours, two familiar ones have left for Northern Iowa. Ex-linebackers coach Mark Harley accepted a five-year contract from his alma mater Tuesday, while Allen announced yesterday ex-running backs coach Bill Salmon would leave for Northern Iowa as well. Salmon starred for the Panthers at quarterback from 1973-75. Kansas football notes "It's not the end of the world," Allen said. "The timing is disruptive, but the key players are in place." ■ In yesterday's scrimmage, quarterbacks Zach Dyer, Kevin Long and Mario Kinsey took snaps. Sports Columnist "You all saw them do something good, and you all saw them do something bad." Allen said. — Edited by Brandy Straw Michael Rigg PARKS sports@kansan.com ESPN dream demolished after one visit to the studio BRISTOL, Conn. — So what's your SportsCenter fantasy? Mine was always to anchor the thing. From the second I first turned on the show, that's what I wanted to do. I had a vision in my head about this sports utopia-like studio in Connecticut, and this dreamy job in which you get to play Jenga with NFL linemen and ride on elevators with mascots. That search for ESPN glory led me to send a resume out her to Connecticut to the main ESPN Studios for a summer internship. The plan was going to go something like this: One night this summer, when I'm off doing some monkey job such as emptying Linda Cohn's garbage or dusting the satellite dishes, anchor Kenny Mayne would call in sick. And then, because nobody else would be around, someone would say, "What about the intern?" Followed by, "Rigg, you're on!" And that would start a 20-something year long career as a SportsCenter anchor, or something like that. Unfortunately, that's not why it went down. So I flew out here to check out the studios, do my interview and get ready for spending a summer in Connecticut. That's where my idea of this sports paradise started to fade. Like clockwork, ESPN sent me a reply five months after I submitted my resume, and then yesterday flew me out here to Bristol for an interview. A few hundred applicants applied for the internship, and I was one of 20 finalists — I guess it's amazing what a little bit of lying can do for your job prospects.* My first observation was that Bristol is the worst town this side of South Bend, Ind. It makes Topea look like Las Vegas, and it makes Lawrence look like Los Angeles. All that's in Bristol is, quite literally, a bowling alley, a hotel and ESPN. I could see why long-time anchor Keith Olbermann would want to leave. Secondly, I saw that ESPN represents everything that's wrong with sports. The guys at ESPN aren't in it for the love of the games, or for the joy of the athletes. All they care about is the money. "My townhouse burned down last month, and I lost everything." I exclaimed. Instead of seeing this sports-themed Disneyworld like I imagined, I was exposed to miles of cubicles ("This is where the onair talent works," explained my tour guide, as I peered over the partition to see a storic group of talking heads), dark hallways ("We're not cheap, we just don't like turning on the lights around here," she also explained), and one iowless boss. Then, with a completely emotionless expression, he looked up from his paper and said, "Well, send those to me when you can." "So Mike, I see you were the basketball writer for the Kansan," he observed, while staring at my resume. "Where are your clips?" I explained to this guy three times before the interview why I don't have any of my clips. Still, I had to go into it again. Yeah, I sure will. Just give me some 409 and some Scotch tape, and I'll be at that pile of ashes I used to call home and clean them off and tape those together for you. "When you come out here this summer, you won't have to worry about housing," he then explained. "The local junior colleges are renting us some of their, uh, facilities." I didn't know what that meant, but the image of sleeping bags on a gym floor immediately popped into my head. So the point of this is that everything I once thought was perfect is gone. ESPN was that one place that I had a perfect image of in my head, and now it's ruined. As for the internship, they said they'd call me next week to tell me if I had the job. But whether I'll take it remains to be seen. This summer, I may have better things to do. After all, I have to get started taining all my old clins together. *Editor's Note: Rigg did not really lie on his resume. But why anyone would want to hire that kid is beyond me.

Photo by Joan PATIO OPENINGS signal to BAR PATRONS By Aaron Lerner jaayplay@kansan.com Jayplay writer The arrival of springtime traditionally brings longer days, more time spent outside and seemingly emptier classrooms around campus. For many students, spring also represents a more active social life. That's why it's not uncommon to find local bar employees sweeping the final signs of winter off their patios and welcoming patrons back to their favorite hangouts. "In Kansas we have these really long winters, and so when the patio opens up it's almost like a rite of passage for people," said Chris Kuhman, manager at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St. "Everybody gets really excited. It's a mood enhancer. When people see that the patio is open again, many people take that as a sure sign that spring is back." The Replay patio, which opened March 15, provides live entertainment for patrons. The nice weather allows bands to perform outdoors, meaning the sound travels beyond the lounge's wooden fence. EWBUS "Unfortunately, however. some of the neighbors that live around Massachusetts Street get upset when the music gets too loud, so we still bring in live bands, but often it's a softer type of music such as jazz, blues or bluegrass," Kuhlman said. Open-air drinking changes the atmosphere of some drinking establishments. "There's an unquestionable difference," said Rob Hagg, Palatine, Ill., junior and a bartender at Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St. "We opened up our outdoor area last weekend and all the old, familiar faces came back. Everyone just seems to be having a little bit more fun." For good reason too. The warm weather not only puts smiles and sants on the faces of students, but it also attracts larger crowds, prolonged visits and puts more money in the pockets of barroom employees. "I would say I make about 50 percent more money in the spring than in the winter," said Josh Ediger, Prairie Village senior and Jet Lag Lounge bartender. "After we open up the patio we are able to allow almost two times as many people in as we would during the winter months." As the Jet Lag, 610 Florida St., prepares to open its patio Wednesday night, it will kick things off with a Steak Night celebration, a longtime tradition that allows people to get a steak, salad, bread and dessert for $9. In addition to the return of Steak Night, Jet Lag will also be offering live music and the grand reopening of its "Jimm-nium," an outdoor beer stand named after employee Jim Millaway, Tulsa senior. The bar's owner has also designated an area "Brenda's Party Cove" after his wife. Jet Lag is not the only bar that offers features at its outdoor patio. Chad Trease, Shawnee senior and manager at Fatso's, said it would soon have heat lamps installed on its patio as an addition to the large outdoor bar they have. "Although the weather is much nicer in the spring, it can still get cool at night," Trease said. "With the number of people that choose to hang outside, a couple of heat posts would definitely make things a little more comfortable." Patrons of the Crossing, 618 W. 12 St., should beware. Although it's fine to have drinks outside "For me, going outside on a hot day with a cold beer — there's just nothing better," he said. "I live right next door to the Crossing, so it's easy for me just to walk over and get a couple of pitchers outside on the deck." Despite the numerous features that many bar patios offer, there are still many students, such as Mark Crawford, Chicago junior, who like to keep things simple by just going out to enjoy a cold beer outside. Budweiser on the patio, the minute a person steps off the deck and onto the sidewalk, he or she is crossing a legal boundary. It is illegal to carry alcoholic beverages on public streets. The same rule applies for the patrons of the Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., which attracts large crowds Monday nights when it offers a selection of hand-crafted beer and ales at half price. Beer gardens allow drinkers to escape the smoke-filled confines of a noisy bar to enjoy their beverages outside in the mild spring weather. Wichita senior Katie Binter placed a drink onto a patio table yesterday at the Jet Lag, 610 Florida St. Photo illustration by Thad Allender/KANSAN Steve Duffy, Overland Park junior, has not missed a Monday night at Free State for as long as he can remember. "I really go there for their beer," he said. "It's hands-down the best in the Midwest. When the weather is nice, and I can go outside, that's just icing on the beer." Friends taast Sarah Ammann bottom right, St. Louis sophomore, on her 21 st birthday.

You might even get to Carnegie Hall. Practice, practice, practice! Your first attempts may be quite awkward in April, but you sure look cool trying. Just stick to the schedule through May, and by June it will seem easier. A critical relative proves inspirational in July and helps you prepare for the real test in September. In December, take time for yourself and consider a radical change of scenery. By February, you've reached a new level and get to play with the big kids. Save part of March for smelling the roses and resting on your laurels. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7. The trouble with turning fantasy into reality is that things don't always fit. In your head, it's all perfect. In real life, problems rise. But that's all part of the adventure. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7. Watch the other players closely as they place their bets. You could be the big winner, but it won't be due to mere good luck. You're only going to trounce them at a game you've played before. You have a hidden advantage. Gemini (May 21-June 21] — Today is a 5. You and your mate or partner could have a tiff. Both of you have good points, and both are missing something. Be nice, and work out a compromise. It's your best chance for success — and romance. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6. Additional study leads to new solutions and several new problems. Don't give up. Each dead end is actually a step forward. Eventually, you'll narrow down the options to the one that works. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7. Don't blindly follow a friend's advice. It's too expensive, and it won't produce the results you want. Your sweetheart doesn't have the answer, either. Get it from an older person, one from whom you get money. Just ask; it's free. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6. Even though you have more control, you still need to proceed with caution. Others, some of whom outrank you, have ideas that won't work. Telling them is risky business, of course. Be cool. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6. Expect delays and disagreements. That way you won't be disappointed. You can talk folks into getting along. You're good at that. It takes time, though. Adjust your expectations. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5. Friends are pestering you to come out and play, but don't be distracted. Work still has to come first, just for a little while longer. Meanwhile, find a way to be more efficient. You've been doing something the hard way. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7. You may notice that you're a tad on edge. This is perfectly natural. You've got a great idea, and you want to share it. Don't give up if the first reaction isn't as warm as you had hoped. Give them a while to think about it. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7. Don't take anything for granted. You can bet there will be surprises, but whether they will do you good or ill depends on you. No napping on the job. You snooke today, and there will be big trouble. P Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7. There's plenty of work, and that's no problem. The money should be coming in, too. So why be sad? Is it because you're stuck inside when you would rather be climbing green mountains? Pencil that onto your calendar now. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 4. Plenty of confusion already exists, so keep your confusion to yourself. The less you say, the more you will profit. You will look like the only one who knows what's going on. You can figure it out later, at home. C 2 Together LEO P V Pisces Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only. Keep busy to cure heartache What is the easiest way to get over a break-up? My boyfriend just broke up with me and it was very hard because I was very attached to him. I had a crush on him for a while before he asked me out, so it was a dream come true when it happened. Things were fine, and then one day he just started acting differently. I tried not to panic, but then I got the phone 弓 ADVICE 女 Dear Shell. SCORPIO call. My worst fears were confirmed: he wanted out. He gave reasons, but I feel as if the underlying one was because I wouldn't have sex with him. I have some pretty strong beliefs, which we differed on, but I have a feeling the sex issue is what ultimately killed it. He just said that it, but I never have that feeling. LA SALUD DEL LAUTEN Chantel Keys columnist jayla.kansan.com What can I do to get over this? I have pictures of us together and all the e-mails he wrote me. I try not to look at them, but every time I do, I want to cry. I'm a fairly strong person, emotionally, but this really tears me up. I hate feeling depressed all the time. How long will this last? Please help me! Signed. First of all, look at this break up as a good thing. Trust your intuition on the fact this break up is sex related. You know what was going on in the relationship and more than likely, he was frustrated with the fact that you wouldn't give it up. I commend you for sticking to your convictions and not giving in. People with character do that, even when faced with a challenging relationship such as dating your crush. Boy,can I relate to you! Dear Crushed. Also, the fact that you differed in your beliefs should have been a warning. Yes, they say opposites attract, but in order for a relationship to work, there needs to be a fair amount of similarities for the couple to work with. Running out of things to talk Hang out with as many friends as possible and keep busy with school. While there is no way to keep you from thinking about him, the fewer things that remind you of him, the better. This will give you time to process what happened and get used to being single again. Finally, always remember there is someone better out there for you who will love you and can't imagine dumping you. You are strong, but you are also human. You're not made of steel. Take everything day by day and you'll be fine. Good luck, and remember, there are plenty of girls who can totally relate to you right now. Stay strong, you'll make it. Love, ... Now that you're rid of him, let's focus on getting beyond him. First, remove all the pics and delete the e-mails. You don't have to throw them away, but just keep them out of view. Eventually you can look at them again, but don't pour salt on an open wound. about is an awkward situation. Keys is a Stilwell senior in journalism MUSIC Buckcherry Time Bomb (DreamWorks Records) RUHWYM Ten years ago, the sex-and-drugs formula for rock-and-roll could easily have been written off as passé. For the past two years, Buckcherry has been pushing it back into the mainstream. Its self-titled 1999 debut album wowed—and shocked — listeners with its smash-hit single "Lit Up." a roaring tribute to cocaine highs. Now, the Los Angeles-based band is back with its even heavier sophomore effort, Time Bomb. Bands such as Guns N' Roses already had that recipe practically patented. But Axl Rose and Co. waned into relative obscurity, and today the genre is drowned out amid a sea of bubble-gum pop bands. Already riding high thanks to the success of the second album's first single, "Ridin'," Buckcherry starts where it left off and cranks the volume even louder. Led by guitarist Keith Nelson's blues-based grinding riffes and frontman Josh Todd's screeching tyrical melodies, the band treads further into the realm of lustv. whisky-fueled rock. The title track ranks among the disc's best tracks, featuring an anthem chorus in which the band castigates hangers-on and fair-weather friends. "Whiskey in the Morning" also builds on the band's bad-boy image. And the slower "Helpless" is a pleasant break from the usual power-chord barrage, featuring mandolins and even (gasp) sitars. But although the band usually hits, it occasionally misses. "Porno Star" features enough raunchy four-letter words to turn off even this sailor-mouthed reviewer. The discordant punk rock form of "Underneath" lacks all appeal. And when Todd croons about a solitary piano's notes in "Opened My Eyes," it's a nice touch, but it's also unforgivably cheesy. Bourbon, ampetamines and unrelentless raunch can carry a band only so far. But Buckcherry could emerge as the leaders of a hard-rock renaissance if future albums build on the band's solid base.

Laundry rooms thefts not just pocket change LINCOLN, Neb. — Thieves are making a clean sweep of apartment complex laundry rooms, having stolen more than $13,000 in quarters since the beginning of the year. The 52,000 coins have been pried out of washers and dryers, Lincoln Police Chief Tom Casady said. Police believe the criminals are targeting laundry rooms because they are sheltered away from apartments and hallways.

Kyle Marler of Indianapolis, Tim Fitzpatrick, Bob Connealy and Jon Ferns, all Overland Park juniors, make up The Draft, playing Saturday night at the Jazzhaus, 9261/2 Massachusetts St. Q: How did you form your band? Tim: Kyle and I played together in middle school and Bob and Jon played together in middle school. When the two schools merged into one high school, the bands coalesced, shedding the lesser elements and forming what we know as The Draft. O: How long have you known each other? ■Kyle: Me and Tim have been friends since eighth grade. Bob and Jon have known each other since kindergarten since Kindergarten. Q: You played house parties and some Kansas City venues while you were in high school, but after graduation Jon decided to attend the University of Colorado. What happened then? How did that affect you guys? horn. I wanted to go to Colorado to explore snowboarding career possibilities. I realized that music was actually more my calling in life. **Bob:** While Jon was in Colorado, we pretty much broke up. We searched around a little bit for another drummer, and we'd occasionally jam, but we didn't play any gigs. We'd hassle Jon and tried to convince him to come to KU. Q: Have you evolved as a band since it's creation? Kyle: We started off as musical Cro- Magnons playing Lynyrd Skynyrd and other classic rock favorites. After that, we had more of a jam band feel like Phish or Widespread. We've lately been focusing on writing our own material, which has a more rock feel. **Bob:** There are some groove-oriented overtones with a bit of a jammy side, but this takes a back seat to a fairly consistent rock format. Q: What makes you different from all the other bands out there? Jon: Our willingness to experiment. We'll play just about any kind of music; techno, gangster ran funk, soul, bluegrass. Band info: Q: Who does the writing? *Kyle:* Actually, Lou Perlman writes all of our original material for us. He also designs our costumes and choreographs our dance move. **Bob:** Kyle is just kidding. Recently, I have been writing most of material with occasional songs from Tim and Kyle. We usually do a few The Draft will play at The Jazzhaus, 9261/2 Massachusetts St., on Saturday. Cover is $4, only 21 and older admitted. covers late at night when everyone is good and messed up.

So it only makes sense that Nohe, a 1993 KU graduate of film and psychology, would direct an independent documentary, The Burning Sensation: A Journey into Burning Man, about the legendary Burning Man Festival, a week-long celebration of the absurd and ridiculous in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. "It's an underground Woodstock," said Nohe. "There's a rave, a mudist colony, pyrotechnics commission, a museum of modern art. It's the wildest thing you've ever seen in your life." The film contains footage from the Burning Man Festivals of 1998 and '99 focusing not on the festival itself but preparations and wrap up. it up into one experience," Nohe said.

Women will relate to Bridget By Clare McLellan joyplay@kansan.com Jayplay movie critic - Edited by Brandy Straw Translating a wildly popular novel or any novel—into a wildly popular movie is always a difficult task for filmmakers, and Bridget Jones's Diary is no exception. Capturing the imaginations of all the readers who have their own image of who Bridget is, what her apartment looks like and how attractive her boss truly is, would be daunting to save the least. The movie follows a year in the life of a 32-year-old single woman, Jones, who lives in London, works SOLARIS Movie info: The Diary of Bridget Jones opens at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at The Plaza 6, 2339 Iowa St. In Bridget Jones's Diary, Renee Zellweger portrays Bridget Jones, a neurotic, chain smoking Brit search for the perfect man. Contributed photo Year's resolutions and recording the process in her diary. Now, it's doubtful many readers saw Renée Zellweger as the Vokaguzzzling, chain-smoking, somewhat neurotic and "chubby" Jones. (Although her psychotically-charming performance in *Nurse Betty* did show Zellweger stretching her acting limits quite well.) She is not British, her accent is a bit forced, and she just seems too sweet and innocent to be the true "Singleton" that is Bridget Jones. What the movie does offer is a slightly lighter version of Bridget's life than the book describes, and Zellweger fits appropriately into it. Much of the story, however, remains true to the book. Author Helen Fielding co-wrote the screenplay for the movie and much of the dialogue and many scenes are lifted directly from the pages of her novel. Oddly, an integral part of the book, Bridget's daily log of pounds gained or lost, units of alcohol drunk, cigarettes smoked and calories consumed, appear only two or three times early on in movie. Also, much of the cheeky British humor and English feel of the book doesn't make it to the screen. For example, wesee Bridget watching Frasier and singing through tears to American music. This is something easily fixed and usually done with a production company like Miramax, which normally trusts its audience's cultural savvy behind the film. It could have more to do with first-time director Sharon Maguire, perhaps wanting to make the movie more palatable for American audiences. A notable strength in the film is Hugh Grant, who breaks from his typical Notting Hill/Four Weddings and a Funeral persona, playing Bridget's womanizing, yet irresistible, boss, Daniel Cleaver. performance is practically flawless, even with the writer of the aforementioned movies, Richard Curtis, co-writing Jones. Strayings from the book aside, Bridget Jones's Diary is a smartly written movie. It's full of fresh humor and a main character whom all women can identify with on some level. Bridget unabashedly voices our frustrations, embraces our shortcomings and screws up just as much as we do. God bless her. - Edited by Brandy Straw Have you seen our patio lately?

Latin Grammys finally in Miami The Associated Press MIAMI — Miami was named yesterday as host of the Latin Grammys, a year after the city spurred the inaugural award show in a political furor concerning Cuba. The Sept. 12 show will be televised from the county-owned American Airlines Arena, announced the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences and the Latin Recording Academy. "This announcement is confirming and cementing even harder Miami's position as an international community and the Latin music capital of the world," Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelaas said. Last year, civic leaders rejected the academies' request to be host, citing an ordinance barring the county from doing business with those who have dealings with Cuba. The show was held in Los Angeles instead. ON THE NET The anti-Cuba ordinance was struck down National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences: http://www.grammy.com Greater Miami Convention and Visitor's Bureau: http://www.miamiandbeaches.com In February, Miami-Dade's tourism agency organized a coalition to court the show, and civic leaders such as Miami Mayor Joe Carollo reversed their opposition, meeting frequently with the Latin Grammys staff in Los Angeles. last July after the Supreme Court outlawed a similar Massachusetts statute blocking state purchases from companies that do business in Myanmar. "This is a community of victims of a repressive regime, but I think this community represents freedom of expression," said Jorge Mas Santos, chairman of the Cuban-American National Foundation, an exile group that helped block the first show. As part of the new deal, the county agreed to contribute $1 million toward the production. Miami-Dade County, which is 57 percent Hispanic, has become a Latin music center in recent years with the help of celebrities like Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Miami Beach is home to Sony's Latin division and three times has been host of Midem Americas, a Latin and Caribbean music conference.

TEN Play shows faces of AIDS Local organization to receive money By Livi Regenbaum writer@kansan.com Konsan staff writer The English Alternative Theatre is sponsoring When Scott Comes Home, a play about AIDS, as a fund-raiser for the Douglas County AIDS Project at 8 p.m. Saturday in 130 Budd Hall. Jeff Barker, the play's author, said it was based on the book "When AIDS Comes Home," a true story by Mignon Zylstra about a son who had to break the news to his family and community that he had contracted HIV. "It really is a mother's story," Barker said. "This mother, Mignon, is a Christian woman. She sees her son growing up and ultimately announcing to her that he is gay. She has to come to grips with how she deals with that and how it affects her relationship with him." Matt Foss, Northwestern College senior and member of the Drama Ministries Ensemble, said he had been performing in the play for the past two years and thought the story raised some important issues. living with the disease," she said. "It a lot about a mother's love," he said. "It talks about the struggles between his family and the church. This is a play about compassion and love. It is a true and good story and the best thing about true and good stories is that it hopefully opens up people to be able to share their story." Blythe Bradley, Oklahoma City senior and DCAP volunteer, said she hoped the play would have a positive effect on its audience. "Thope they will get a new personal perspective on HIV and that they will have a greater understanding and compassion for people who are living with the disease," she said. Paul Lim, founder of English Alternative Theatre, said the play was a terrific opportunity to raise awareness and support for DCAP. The play is being performed by the Drama Ministries Ensemble, a church touring group out of Northwestern College, a Christian College in Orange City, Iowa. The group has been touring during spring break and weekends for the past four years. Barker said he hoped the play would bring issues surrounding AIDS into a new light. "I hope they think about how they personally respond to persons with AIDS and people who are themselves living with AIDS," he said. "I certainly hope they feel some support and encouragement from the play." Reserved seats are $20 and can be What: When Scott Comes Home, a play sponsored by the English Alternative Theatre.

The play Temptation runs through Saturday night at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall. Photo by Laurie Sisk/KANSAN Dark play also has charm By Chris Wristen joyplay@kansan.com joyplay writer It starts with the simple question, "Care to tango?" but the University Theatre's production of Vaclay Havel's Tempation delves much deeper than the Latin-American dance of romance. Havel was arrested repeatedly during the 1970s and '80s for his efforts to promote human rights. His satirical writings about the government and his works promoting free thought brought attention to the troubled situation in the former Czechoslovakia. Now he is the president of the reformed Czech Republic, and *Tempat* draws its inspiration of controlled thought from his experiences in a once constraining country and examines Dr. Henry Fousska's attempt to achieve uncontrolled thought, captured elegantly by director John Gronbeck-Tedesco on the Inge Theatre stage in Murphy Hall. It focuses on Foustika's dance with the dark side when he chooses to meddle in witchcraft and his attempt to achieve uncontrolled thought. Foustka, played by Warrensburg senior Joey Alfino, begins the play with the innocence of a schoolboy and works at an institute that battles irrational tendencies in society. The Institute only allows actions and thoughts that work in the interest of enhancing science. The bullish institution director, played by Ryan Colwell, Leawood junior, commands around his scientists with a bold voice and intimidating sexual advances. The Institute's dictatorial and machine-like atmosphere of repetitious daily routine sparks Foustka to search for innovative methods of thinking. Intrigued by the book of life and the power of the spirit world, he begins practicing black magic. He tries casting spells and orders the spirits to play tango tunes that make him happy. Harmless enough, but at the same time he summons an apparent demon — Fistula. Production information What: Vaclav Havel's Temptation When: 7:30 p.m. today through Saturday Where: Inge Theatre inside Murphy Hall Whole-age theater includes Murphy Hall Tickets: $6 for students, $10 for faculty, $12 for the public Running time: two hours and 30 minutes John Luzar, Leawood senior, plays the crippled, creepy and conniving Fistula. Foustka calls Fistula a devil, but he considers himself to be an informer of Ariel who just helps people realize their darkest inner thoughts. Luzar delivers such a genuine performance as Fistula that he is convincing as a demon not only to Foustka, but to the audience, too. His hunched neck, pretzel-tied legs and vilishly-spiked hair, matched with a soothing voice, made him irresistible to love. The two make a deal that allows Foustra to experiment with the magical world, but it sends his life into a spiral and everything falls apart. A brief fling with Marketa, the office secretary, played by Peabody junior Amber McIntosh, puts the process into motion. McIntosh portrays gentle, innocent Marketa with complete grace, and tugs at your heart like a child when Foustra betrays her in order to cover up his experimenting with witchcraft. Though Marketa takes the initial fall, Fousta soon follows when his relationship with girlfriend Vilma, played by Megan Shea, Quincy, Mass., graduate student, crumbles after he accuses her of telling the director about his meetings with Fistula. Foustka's tumble cumulates with a humorous and musical finale that closes with a punch. Though the stage is small and intimate, the action and intrigue are high and make for a night well spent in a tempting student production that sparkles.

After all, the director pretty much steals directly from Goodfellas and Boogie Nights. Blow is based on the true story of George Jung, the American connection to the Colombian cocaine cartel in the late 1970s and early '80s. But it looks an awful lot like the stories of mobster Henry Hill and fictional porn star Dirk Diggle — magnetic, cocky men who reach dizzying heights, then through their own hubris, spiral out of control. Comparisons to Goodfellas are even more obvious with Ray Liotta as one of its co-stars. But that's a serious casting problem. Liotta's almost at his best as the father of Jung, who's played by Johnny Depp. But Liotta is 45, Depp 37. And even worse, Rachel Griffiths, who plays Jung's mother, is five years younger than Depp! You do the math — and try not to get distracted by attempts to show the passage of time through gray hair and makeup. If you're going to pilfer, though, Goodfellas and Boogie Nights are great sources. Blow is consistently entertaining like those movies -- sensory overloads with their huge casts, inventive camerawork, driving rock 'n' roll soundtrack and polyester fashion fabulousness. Where Blow goes astray is toward the end, depicting Jung's current situation — at a federal penitentiary until 2014 — with unnecessary mawkishness. Until that happens, the film is like a drug itself. When the characters are flying high and drowning in cash, it's addictive to watch. There's a great moment when Jung struts through a Miami airport dressed in a white polyester leisure suit, carrying millions of dollars in cash after a big coke sale. Walking in Blow A New Line Cinema release, is rated R for pervasive drug content and language, some violence and sexuality. Running time: 120 minutes. slow motion, Depp turns this boy next-door drug dealer into a rock star. Blow follows Jung from his childhood, growing up poor in Massachusetts, to his journey to Southern California. He starts selling pot on the beach in the late '60s and builds a bicoastal drug dealing empire with the help of his flight attendant girlfriend (Franka Potente), an effeminate hairdresser (Paul Reubens) and a buddy from back home (Max Perlich). But when Jung gets caught with 660 pounds of pot at a Chicago airport, he gets thrown in prison. That's where he meets Diego Delgado (scene-stealer Jordi Molla) who teaches him how to smuggle cocaine. Jung marries a gorgeous Colombian party girl (Penelope Cruz), the two have a daughter and revel in wretched excess. And though he tries to pull out of the business, the feds bring him down when he goes back for one last run. But because Blow is coming out after Traffic and its four Academy Awards, after Requiem for a Dream and a handful of other movies with heavy drug themes in the past year, it could easily—pun intended—get blown away. Call it the precursor to Traffic. This is what happened long before the war on drugs was waged in Washington conference rooms and Mexican badlands. TOM SCHREIBER Johnny Depp stars in Blow, based on the true story of George Jung, the American connection to the Colombian cocaine cartel in the late 1970s and early 80s. Despite striking similarities to films like Good-fellas and Booie Nights, Blow is surprisingly entertaining.

Mendoza at 864-4810 or e-mail editor@kansan.com Bush regrets plane collision The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Bush administration offered Beijing a chorus of regrets but no apology for the collision between a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese jet fighter. China, still detaining 24 American crew members, said it was a step in the right direction amid signs both sides wanted a face-saving resolution. President Bush, who issued a stern warning to Beijing a day earlier, had his advisers extend the olive branch yesterday. "We regret the loss of life of that Chinese pilot, but now we need to move on," Secretary of State Colin Powell said. "We need to bring this to a resolution, and we're using every avenue available to us to talk to the Chinese side to exchange explanations and move on." White House press secretary Arl Fleischer echoed Powell's remarks, saying "we have expressed our concern and our regrets about that incident," but he declined China's demand for an apology. In China, a similar regrets-but no-apology formulation was offered to the nation's foreign minister by the U.S. ambassador. "The United States doesn't understand the reason for an apology." Fleischer said. "Our airplanes are operating in international airspace, and the United States did nothing wrong." An apology would imply wrongdoing by the U.S., officials said, something Bush has not been willing to concede. Powell, in a little-noticed comment, had said Tuesday the crash was "fatal for the pilot of the Chinese plane, and I regret that." set the course for a middle ground that could lead to the crew's release and allow both sides to escape dangerous diplomatic territory, officials said. But the remarks yesterday were the administration's most emphatic expressions of sympathy, designed to Since the first day of the standoff, the president has steadily increased rhetorical pressure on the Chinese while leaving room for a diplomatic settlement. Bush and his foreign policy team debated whether he needed to make a personal statement similar to Powell's, but there were no plans for one as of yesterday afternoon. Despite the signs of progress, both sides held publicly to contradictory positions: China called itself the "injured party" and blamed the United States for the crash, and the White House called it an accident. Pentagon officials said the Chinese pilots buzzed the lumbering spy plane. "If it's just a simple apology that's On Capitol Hill, the sister of 31-year-old detained Petty Officer Kenneth Richter said a carefully crafted apology might be in order. going to get them back, then that should be fine," said Barbara Ditsefano of Staten Island, N.Y. "But if it's an apology with conditions, then the United States government has to decide what they're going to do." Day four of the standoff began with Chinese President Jiang Zemin demanding an apology for the collision between the Navy EP-3E Arles II electronic surveillance plane and a Chinese jet. He also said the United States should "do something favorable to the smooth development of China-U.S. relations," a statement taken by administration officials as a sign that Beijing would welcome any act of contrition from the United States. Their hopes were fueled shortly afterward when Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan echoed Jiang's call for an apology in a meeting with U.S. Ambassador Joseph Prueher but also said China hoped to see the incident "resolved as soon as possible" with China protecting its sovereignty and dignity. House attacks Postal Service plan The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Lawmakers came down hard on the U.S. Postal Service's plan to explore eliminating Saturday mail delivery, with one House member calling it a "fatal mistake" that could destroy the agency. "This is one of the most self-defeating proposals I've heard in my life," Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., said yesterday. "If there's one thing the Postal Service could do that would guarantee its demise, it's eliminate service on Saturday." Facing $2 billion to $3 billion in projected losses this year, the Postal Service has announced numerous cutbacks during the past months. On Tuesday, agency officials said they would investigate the possibility of ending virtually all Saturday mail delivery and closing some post offices and facilities. The changes would require congressional approval. Postmaster General William J. Henderson told the House Government Reform Committee yesterday the poor economy and declining mail volume had hit the agency hard. He urged changes in the law to give the post office more flexibility in setting rates and services to contend with rising costs. It now takes almost a year to change rates. Postal managers are preparing to apply this summer to postal overseers for a rate increase, to take effect in 2002; in January, the price of first class mail went up a penny, to 34 cents. "If we take the necessary steps now to fix the problems, maybe we can avoid a full-blown crisis in the next few years," said the committee chairman, Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind. "More cost containment options must be examined. Nothing should be off the table. Another rate increase should be the last option, not the first." While most committee members agreed overhauling the Postal Service was long overdue, several criticized the idea of ending Saturday delivery. "Reducing the number of delivery "This is one of the most self-defeating proposals I've heard in my life " Bob Barr R-Ga days will have a devastating impact on our economy," said Rep. Constance Morella, R-Md. Henderson, who is leaving the Postal Service next month, said his agency was just conducting an internal study to determine possible savings from a five-day delivery schedule. "A decision to curtail Saturday delivery has not been made," he said. "We have a problem that our customers are saying, 'Don't raise rates. Don't raise rates.' And we have to look at every possible alternative." Barr said even the study was a bad idea. "I think you are making a serious mistake even suggesting that you're going to open that can of worms," he said. "You would be fundamentally altering what the Postal Service means to American citizens if your do that and I think that would be a fatal mistake." Agency critics and groups representing postal workers also condemned the study. Sam Parmelee, a vice president of the National Rural Letter Carriers Association, said reduced service could cause other problems. "The day you don't deliver mail it stacks up," said Parmelee, whose group represents about 100,000 rural and suburban carriers. "Then you've got this huge volume of mail that some carriers won't be able to fit in their vehicles when they go out on Monday." The American Postal Workers Union, which has 366,000 members nationwide, also said it would oppose such changes. The Postal Service receives no taxpayer money for its operations. It remains a government agency and operates under laws set by Congress. MIT to offer course materials on Web The Associated Press CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — At a time when online knowledge can be a valuable commodity, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology plans to offer nearly all its course materials on the Internet for free. The $100 million project aims to make information from MIT's 2,000 courses accessible to everyone within 10 years. The Web site will include lecture notes, course outlines, reading lists and assignments. Visitors to the site will not earn college credit. The plan counters a trend toward the "privatization of knowledge," where ideas are owned by companies or institutions, said professor Steven Lerman, chairman of the MITfacultv. The school is still considering ways to use the Internet to generate revenue, such as selling research updates to alumni, said MIT President Charles Vest. But this venture is essentially alruistic, he said. "It expresses our belief in the way education can be advanced by constantly widening access to knowledge and inspiring participation," he said. The project is voluntary, and some professors may decide not to participate. said Hal Abelson, a computer Other universities offer course materials on the Internet, but the information is often available only to students, and no school has proposed offering all of its course materials online. science professor involved in the project. The Web site will fall short of the student experience at MIT, where tuition costs about $26,000 a year. The site will contain just the "raw materials" of the courses, not the teaching, Abelson said. The project could provide course models for colleges around the country and help developing countries improve their higher education systems, Vest said. The school's reputation also gets a boost, he said. "There's no sense in covering it up," said Manuel Roth, 27, a graduate student. "If it's general stuff about math and physics, why not?" Students were receptive to the idea of the school giving away the knowledge they pay for. coming from private, philanthropic sources. Vest said he envisioned the fund Andy Rosenfield, chief executive of the Internet education company UNext.com, said MIT's move would not increase competition with services such as UNext, but would instead stimulate interest in the courses they offer. As for other schools following suit, Kenneth Green, a visiting scholar at Claremont Graduate University in California who researches high tech in higher education, said the questions of funding, planning and faculty involvement that MIT had already addressed were major hurdles. Press analysis of ballots expands Bush's margin "The MIT initiative will be watched with varying degrees of public and private envy," he said. "Envy and angst." The Associated Press MIAMI — George W. Bush's narrow margin of victory in Florida would have as much as tripled had the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a hand recount of the undervotes to be completed, a newspaper review of the ballots concluded. Bush would have expanded his 537 vote victory to a 1,665 margin if the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court had gone ahead under the most inclusive standards, The Miami Herald and USA Today reported yesterday. Those standards REXTON BLAKE would have included as votes even partial punches and dimples on the punch-card ballots. When the process was stopped, recounts using a variety of standards had already had been completed in seven counties — Palm Beach, Volusia, Broward, Hamilton, Manatee, Escambia and Madison — and in 139 Miami-Dade County precincts. Bush's 1,665-vote margin was based on the assumption those numbers would stand, but that in all the rest of the state the most generous standards would be applied. The newspapers also gave Bush the advantage under two more restrictive standards. But the Herald reported that the balance would have tipped to AIGore if a recount of the undervotes had been started from scratch in all 67 Florida counties using the most inclusive standards. Under that hypothetical recount, free from the fragmented chronology of the post-election contest, Gore would have won the White House by 393 votes, the paper found. An undervote is a ballot on which no preference for president registered; an overvote is a ballot on which more than one preference registered. USA Today's analysis focused exclusively on what might have happened if the recount had been allowed to continue. The results bucked the expectations of the Democratic and Republican teams during the Florida recount contest, finding that the more inclusive recount standards sought by Gore would have helped Bush. And the strictest standard sought by Republicans — that only clean ballot punches be counted — would have given Gore an extremely narrow three-vote victory. Both newspapers said that was too close to withstand the possibility of errors. "Many Americans were asking the question 'What would the result be if the Florida Supreme Court's order to conduct hand recounts in all 67 counties were carried out?' Martin Baron, the Herald's executive editor, said Tuesday. "We felt it was our responsibility to answer questions that so many people had." The review of 61,195 undervotes—a joint project involving the Herald, USA Today and Knight Ridder— did not examine the approximately 110,000 overvotes cast in the election. Both papers are planning a separate analysis of the overvote next month. A group consisting of The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The Palm Beach Post, St. Petersburg Times, The Wall Street Journal and Tribune Publishing, which owns The Orlando Sentinel and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, is analyzing all uncounted presidential ballots cast in the Florida election, including overvotes. That ballot review, which is being conducted by the Chicago-based National Opinion Research Center, is expected to be released next month. inducted by the Chicago-based Horn Quinn Research Center, is expected to be released next month. The Florida Supreme Court order to conduct the hand counts specified only undervests should be counted. However, the U.S. Supreme Court decision halting the recount noted that overvotes were being excluded. Gore supporters were quick to interpret the newspaper findings as evidence the vice president should have won the election — and thus Florida's 25 electoral votes and the presidency. "What this shows is that if you count the voter's intent, Gore wins. If you look for excuses not to count votes, Bush does better," said Doug Hattaway, Gore's national campaign spokesman, now working as a Democratic consultant in Boston. But the White House said the 537 vote victory is the correct tally. "The president has thought that the case was closed for months," spokesman Ari Fleischer said yesterday. "He thought the case was closed last year. The American people spoke and George W. Bush was elected the president. And he thinks that the American people have moved way beyond this. He certainly has." While media reviews of the election are interesting, they do not answer the question of what constitutes a vote, said Philip Zelikow of the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia, who is helping craft a federal commission on election reform. "The problem the Supreme Court found was that there was no consistent standard and no time to devise and fully apply one. So newspapers are now answering the 'What if' questions without having to settle any of the problems the Supreme Court confronted," he said. The analysis found it was virtually impossible to conduct a mistake-free election. The Herald and USA Today said only eight Florida counties were able to produce for inspection the exact number of undercount ballots they reported on election night. And the Herald noted mistakes occurred both in machine and hand counts. It said Pasco County had acknowledged that multiple machine recounts produced a different number of undervotes — 1,776 on Nov. 8,1,712 on Dec.9 and 1,744 on Feb.5. And Duval County, which reported 4,967 undervotes on election night, ended up delivering 5,106 such ballots for inspection by the Herald after a hand recount. The Herald and USA Today hired the national accounting firm BDO Seidman to conduct the review. At least two people — a reporter and a BDO Seidman auditor — looked at each undervote and recorded what they saw, including dimples, pinpricks and hanging chads on punch-card ballots and all discernible markings on optical scan ballots. kansan.com PECTATOR'S 710 Mass.

WWW.KANSAN.COM Elections present only two options for students By Andrew Davies writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students who vote in the Student Senate election Wednesday and Thursday will have two coalitions to choose from. Last year, voters had five presidential and vice presidential candidates to choose from. One reason for fewer coalitions is the amount of work it takes to assemble a coalition, said Carrie Depenbusch, last year's vice presidential candidate for Students First. a third coalition. Depenbusch, Columbus, Kan., junior, said it was hard to run against established coalitions with established voter bases, but that new coalitions could find their own supporters. "It was really easy to get accepted by the people who weren't part of those," she said. Candidates were hesitant to run with Students First if they had the opportunity to run with an established coalition because the established coalition had a better chance of winning, Depenbusch said. "It's easy to be part of an established coalition," she said. Katie Bartlett, Nunemaker senator who ran with Students First last year and is running with Delta Force this year, said Delta Force's experience in elections was the biggest difference from Students First last year. "I think there's a lot of knowledge that we didn't have last year in Students First," she said. Bartlett said Delta Force had more experience in telling first-time candidates what to expect and in supporting them. Dustin Johnson, elections commissioner, said a two-coalition election was typical of student senate elections, and the number of coalitions wouldn't affect voter turnout. Johnson said he thought voter turnout would increase this year because the campaign had been clean. "Surprisingly, the number of coalitions doesn't have much effect on voter turnout," he said. "In fact, last year only 15 percent of students voted, which was lower than at least the three preceding years." Students said the interest of an individual, not the number of coalitions, was the biggest impact on who voted. Farina Ndunbar, Anchorage, Ala., junior, said the fewer number of coalitions wouldn't change the number of people who voted because the informed people would always vote. Michael Beary, Lenexa junior, said the people who enjoyed campus politics would vote regardless of the number of coalitions. "The people who are interested are going to be the ones voting," he said. "The not really interested aren't going to bother to vote. Most people aren't concerned. They just want to go to school." But some said that more coalitions would increase student interest. Kate Hove, Duluth, Minn., sophomore, said more coalitions on campus would lead to a broader span of views and ideas that would increase interest. Still, she said people who voted had to take an interest in the process. "I think you have to care about it coming into it," she said. — Edited by Courtney Craigmile Independents work for visibility By Danny Phillips Kansan staff writer When Tisha Warner arrived at the University of Kansas last semester, she didn't know any student senators and had no idea how to contact one with her concerns. Now as one of five independent candidates running for Senate, the Florence freshman is making senator visibility one of her major issues. "Instead of a student coming to you," Warner said, "you could go to the students." Warner and her close friend and ally, Amanda Kerschen, are running for Nunemaker seats to represent freshmen and sophomores in the Senate. Kerschen, Wichita freshman, said she was disgusted with the current coalition system. "The coalitions pop up around early March and then disappear after the elections." she said. Instead of just making contact with constituents around election time, Kerschen said she and Warner would keep a pulse on student concerns year around. Together the Nunemaker hopefuls have developed a Web site outlining their platforms and personal biographies. Besides increasing Senate exposure, they said they would also address the parking problem on Daisy Hill and try to extend students' meal plans to Wescoe Terrace and the Kansas and Burge Unions. First year law student Mike Lecount is running independently for a slightly different reason. When Lecount was member of the Student Senate at Kansas State University, there were no coalitions. While he said joining an alliance would have probably improved his chances of winning a Senate law seat, he didn't want to have an allegiance to any other group except his law constituents. "I'm going to take a more personal approach," Lecount said. He said that if elected, such independence would put him in a better position to represent the students. "A lot of law students feel detached from Senate," said Lecount, pointing out that only 40 law students voted last year out of nearly 500. But that could potentially work in his favor this year. "If we have an election with under 100 votes, I think I have an excellent chance." be said. As for independent pharmacy candidate Sherry Zerr, running without a coalition had nothing to do with ideology. She was just trying to get her application in at the last minute. "I'm not really into politics," said Zerr, a Colby fourth-year pharmacy student. "But I'd like to represent the pharmacy school." Zerr said pharmacy students pay at least $75 more per credit hour than any other school, and while she wouldn't necessarily try to lower that rate if elected, she was interested in the overall budget and how funds were distributed. Jamel Bell, the fifth independent candidate running for a graduate seat, was out of town yesterday and could not be reached for comment.

GTAs rally for higher salaries Edited by Doug Pacey By Michelle Ward writer@kansan.com Kanson staff writer Kevin Armitage said he had received a degree in the "Robert Hemenway school of management with the underlying principles of duplicity and stalling." Armitage's unplanned remarks at the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition (GTAC) rally received cheers and applause from more than 75 participants yesterday afternoon at Wescoe Beach. GTAC rallied in an effort to bring to light stalled contract negotiation tions with the University. "The reason we have to have this rally is to force the administration to fulfill its legal obligations," Armitage said. "It's clearly not a priority for the administration to treat graduate students well. They can't even respond to our contract proposal for eight months. It's absurd and disrespectful." While GTAC proposed an initial contract in September, the University responded in March with its proposal. The two have locked horns about salary and benefits for graduate assistants. Armitage's frustration came after a year spent working three jobs trying to pay his bills. The doctoral student, who holds two master's degrees, works as a teaching assistant in the department of history with a $900 monthly salary. Unable to meet his expenses, he has picked up odd jobs, teaching a class through the mail and working with a start-up Internet company. The trio of positions leaves little time for Armitage to complete his dissertation and move up the economic ladder. As with the majority of the graduate students, Sharon Sullivan juggles a number of jobs along with her first love, teaching. While working toward her doctorate, she teaches courses in theater and film and women's studies. The GTA carries her teaching duties into the night, heading aquatic aerobics and previously worked at Target on weekends. "I have given up sleeping. Basically, my life is teaching and studying." Sullivan said. "All I do is try to find ways to pay the bills. I just don't want to be poor for the privilege to teach." See GTAS on page 2A KU HAS NO MINIMUM PAY FOR LEGALS Helmut Tweer, German department graduate teaching assistant, speaks to a crowd gathered at Wescoe Beach to protest GTA wages. Photo by Justin Schmidt/KANSAN Students learn how to throw legal parties By Amanda Beglin writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer As yesterday's muggy weather proved, temperatures are rising — and so is the interest in throwing springtime parties. But before front and backyards everywhere are transformed into celebration stomping grounds, there are a few things the American Civil Liberties Union thinks students should know. Last night, about 10 students, mostly from Student Senate, listened as Alexis Vanasse, a member of the University of Kansas chapter of ACLU, gave them pointers on how to throw a bash without running into trouble with the police. The workshop was sponsored by the Senate Outreach Board. For example, selling alcohol at parties is legal — if you have a temporary liquor license and are selling to people who are 21 and older. To get that license, she said, students must complete paperwork with the Alcohol Beverage Control Division in Topeka and register the license with the Lawrence city clerk. FOR MORE INFORMATION Because most students may not want to involve the city government in throwing a wild party. Vanasse suggested keeping things simple keep the party inside, the noise level down and the beer with people who are of legal age to drink it. "Don't advertise on partyku.com," Vanasse said. "Cops watch that, so be warned. They won't go to your party, but they will patrol the area to make sure nothing is going on." - To get a copy of the legal house party handbook, visit the American Civil Liberties Union office at Room 400 in the Kansas Union. If police officers do approach a party, Vanasse said, it's because students made the party public by advertising online or with flyers, propping the front door open or allowing people to party in the streets, which are public property. "They're generally very nice, so if you're cordial to them, they'll be cordial to you," Vanasse said. But students don't have to let police officers beyond their front doors unless the officer has a warrant signed by a judge, Vanasse said. "Cops can only enter a house if people let them in," Vanasa said. "But they don't have to leave if you don't. They can sit outside as long as you want to wait. But eventually, people will have to leave, and they'll be in trouble on their way out." Students who party on their private property can be in their yard with alcohol, Vanasse said, as long as they don't cross onto public property like sidewalks and streets. On public property police can ask students for ID and issue citations such as minor in possession. And if neighbors contact police with a noise complaint, the officer can approach the party and give the student resident a verbal warning — and then leave. Vanasse said. "If he has to come back a second or third time, he might ask you to leave," Vanasse said. Branden Bell, off-campus senator, said he thought the session was helpful. "I thought it was a good way to let people know what their rights are," he said. — Edited by Melissa Cooly 14 X 54 --- ... 2A The Inside Front Friday April 6,2001 News from campus, the state. the nation and the world LAWRENCE CORRECTION A story in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly identified Kyle Browning, Delta Force coalition candidate for student body vice president. CAMPUS Second student wins Truman Scholarship Robert M. Chamberlain, Topeka senior and Army ROTC cadet, won a $30,000 national Truman Scholarship for graduate study. Scholarship for graduate study: The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation in Washington D.C. selected 80 students nationwide to receive the scholarship. Criteria included leadership potential, intellectual ability and candidates' likelihood of "making a difference." Karrigan Bork, Lawrence senior, was also awarded a 2001 Truman Scholarship in March. Including Chamberlain and Bork, the University of Kansas has had 15 Truman Scholars since 1981. Chamberlain, who is also a Kansan columnist, will graduate from the University in May with a political science degree and is planning to earn a master's degree in public administration. His career goals are focused toward gaining a military rank and serve in the U.S. Department of Defense as a policy maker affecting the quality of life for American soldiers. His policy proposal suggested that the House Armed Services Committee create an Office of Technology Insertion to provide reliable equipment for daily military tasks. Chamberlain argued that lack of reliable equipment is one of the causes for low morale among military officers and his proposal could also save the government $4.6 billion over the next 10 years. Show to benefit kids in African war zones Students can get a taste of African culture tomorrow night at the African Student's Association cultural show, "Pride of Africa," at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. 1204 Oread Ave The show will begin with traditional African cuisine, including jello rice, plantain, endole, deja and African desserts. A fashion show, flag parade and African music and dance will follow the dinner. "They are professionals," said Thad Holcombe, director of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. "This show will be very good." The African Student's Association is presenting the cultural show to raise awareness of African culture and also to help support "Feed My Lamb," an organization that helps feed children in African war zones. Julie Carter The show will be from 5 to 7 p.m., and tickets are available at the Student Union Activities office for $5.

"Besides the great information they get, I believe the experience helps make the possibility of medical school much more real for students," Crosby said. Tricia Fairchild, Topeka senior, attended the open house two years ago. She said the insight from former members of the admissions committee was the most helpful. "They recommended that we not have high school teachers write recommendations for us." Fairchild said. "One woman made the point that nearly every person applying to medical school was the 'star' of his high school, which wouldn't separate us now." - Summer Lewis Women's conference focuses on leadership The sixth annual Women's Leadership Conference will be from 12:30 to 5 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas Union.A panel of five women from the campus and community will address the conference,which is sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.

Lawrence police said. Sgt. Mike Patrick said two unidentified males walked toward the man and one pushed him down while the other searched his pockets. The men took the employee's keys and $293. A employee of Aladdin Cafe witnessed the incident and called the police, Pattrick said. Patrick said the employee's head hit the ground when he was pushed down, and police photographed his injuries. Patrick did not know the extent of the injuries but said they were not life-threatening. Patrick described the suspects as African-American males in their late teens, one 6-foot and 150 pounds and the other 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds. Anyone with information can call 843-TIPS. Hoskinson on diversion for battery of student A Garden City junior accused of kissing and fondling a sleeping KU student in August in the sixth floor lobby of Hashinger Hall will be on diversion. Kevin J. Hoskinson is charged with a misdemeanor count of sexual battery in connection with the incident Angela Wilson, assistant district attorney, said in yesterday's hearing that the state's prosecutor and Hoskinson's defense attorney had agreed on the agreement's format and it only needed to be signed. Man will go to trial on arson charges A 19-year-old Lawrence man charged with arson and burglary in connection with crimes at the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity house will stand trial on both charges a judge decided. Thomas R. Cale Jr. appeared in court for a preliminary hearing on the charges Tuesday, but Judge Robert Fairchild said he could not make a decision on whether the case could go to trial until he examined the arson statute. Cale's defense attorney, Joyce W. Haile Selassie, tried to establish that the vacant fraternity house at 1941 Stewart Ave. was not really a dwelling. She said the statute required the building to be a dwelling for the arson charge to stand. Fairchild decided Cale would be tried on both counts. His arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday, April 10. — Lauren Brandenburg Continued from page 1A GTAs protest negotiations Graduate assistants, designated as part-time employees, earn a salary and benefits for a 20-hour work week. Most departments require graduate assistants to teach two classes each semester that include preparation for class, grading assignments and tests, and meeting with students and faculty. Most GTAs invest more than 20 hours each week. "We are a great benefit and resource to this University," Armitage said. "There is a difference between cheap labor and pure exploitation." The administration came back with an offer of $7,000 as a minimum yearly salary for the GTAs, who have previously not had a base salary. Pay varies from department to department within the University, with GTAs earning an average of $8,400. GTAs are hopeful to even out GTA salaries within the University while raising the basic pay, said Julie Little Thunder, a GTA in the department of theater and film. Thunder said that the average pay of $8,800 of her department is on the high end of the scale, and that she hoped other departments would be able to match the art department's efforts. Although Lynn Bretz, interim director of University relations, declined to comment on the specifics because the negotiations are ongoing, she said the University was concerned about salary and health care issues for all of its employees. However, the University contrasts sharply with peer institutions including the University of Iowa, Armitage said at the rally. Iowa GTAs will earn a minimum of $14,718 annually for a 20-hour work week next year, according to university officials there. While GTAs will negotiate for a raise in salary, they are also seeking improvements in health care. Joy Wrolson, a GTA in theater and film, said that the plan was better than nothing. Students are guaranteed $1,000 per year in prescription drugs in a comprehensive plan and $200 in a basic plan, according to those at the rally. Sullivan, who has allergies and asthma, can only get half of her medication paid for through insurance. The plan, which does not cover dental and eye exams, leaves students to pay between one half and two-thirds of the insurance premium, according to a GTAC pamphlet. "You mostly go when you are sick. There really is no prevention coverage." Wrolson said. Members of the student coalition Delta Force attended the rally in support of GTAC, said Justin Mills, Delta Force candidate for student body president. Coalition members passed out pamphlets stating the group's issues and listing their candidates. They also hope to give students a greater say in the parking department and support the GTAs during contract negotiations. "I thought the rally went really well," Mills said. "I don't think a lot of people know the status of GTAs. They make so little, and it's important for students to know." The VOICE coalition also came out in support of GTAC to help raise awareness, said Jessica Bankston, VOICE candidate for student body president. Members were trying to help spread the word about contract negotiations. "It great we are finally making it a public issue." Bankston said. "It added some energy to the fire." - Edited by Sydney Wallace ON CAMPUS - The department of art and design will sponsor the MFA thesis exhibition today at the department of art and design.

Josh Boots, president of the All Scholarship Hall Council, organized the "Know Your Mate" event where the candidates answered questions about their running mates in front of a student audience. PLEASE READ THIS WEB SITE FOR ALL DETAILS ABOUT THE LINK. Mills: Delta Force coalition presi dential candidate "I wanted to develop a program that would be fun and yet informative," said Boots, Plano, Texas, junior. The game started with Delta Force candidates revealing that they had been both stung by wasps as children and VOICE candidates being teased about romantic undercurrents in their partnership. The pair from VOICE laughed at the insinuation. PETER KRONHLEIN Browning: Delta Force vice-president candidate Justin Mills, Delta Force presidential candidate, also drew laughter from the audience and a strong reaction from the VOICE side when he said he thought his running mate Kyle Browning was most like the opposite coalition because "he colors his hair." Jessica Bankston, VOICE presidential hopeful, said she thought her running mate, Hunter Harris, was similar to the opposite coalition in that he had an activist, liberal approach to student politics. The candidates also had to guess their mates' favorite movies and the number of hours they had spent together in the last week. After three rounds,VOICE defeated Delta Force with a 20 to 15 score. Bankston: VOICE coalition presidential candidate The show was followed by a question and answer session, in which the candidates had the opportunity to express how they felt they differed from the opposing coalition in a more relaxed environment 100 Harris:VOICE coalition vice-president candidate than Tuesday's formal debate. Bankston said she thought that, although both coalitions were devoted to the University, their main difference lay in their priorities. Hunter named some of the VOICE priorities as multiculturalism on campus and working with the city and state governments. Mills said he thought Delta Force was different because it was a traditional grassroots coalition. Jen Burns, Shawnee graduate student, said she enjoyed the show. "I saw a lot of different sides of the candidates that you don't normally see," she said. — Edited by Joshua Richards Judge: Kansas Highway Patrol violated Kansan's right to records By Amanda Beglin writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A judge in Shawnee County District Court ruled March 29 that the Kansas Highway Patrol violated the law when it refused to grant the University Daily Kansan an accident report about a car wreck in September. The Kansan filed a lawsuit against the highway patrol in October after 12 attempts by mail and phone were made for the report. The information in the report detailed the car wreck on Kansas Highway 10 near Olathe involving Lawrence residents Sean Michael Scott, 16, and Felicia Bland, 39, who died at the scene. *Kansan* reporter Lauren Brandenburg had tried to get a copy of the report since the end of Scott pleaded no contest to charges of involuntary manslaughter last month and was sentenced to 30 months in a youth correctional facility. September, according to Nathan Willis, the edi- WINIS, the curator who filed the lawsuit. "Our chances of winning were good because the law on was our side," Willis said. "The exceptions that KHP used didn't apply." The highway patrol, according to the court decision. Willis: former editor pleased with outcome of case denied the Kansan access to the report because "a public agency is not required to disclose criminal investigation records." The Kansan maintained that the highway patrol's actions violated the Kansas Open Records Act because the accident report was public record. Kansan attorney Mike Merriam said he had cited prior attorney general opinions concerning the scenario. "I'm relieved that the court ruled that it was public record," he said. Allyson Christman, the legal counsel for the Kansas Highway Patrol, did not return phone calls yesterday. It is unclear if the highway patrol plans to appeal the verdict. Brandenburg said she was happy to see the issue resolved. "I'm glad the Kansan won because we were right all along," Brandenburg said. "If we had lost, the precedent set would have been horrible." Willis said the decision was a moral victory for the Kansan. "There was no legal reason why we couldn't have the report," he said. "It's a victory in student news to stand up for our First Amendment rights. There's such a stigma against student journalists.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Let me state that again: Student Senate coalitions are not political parties. Although it may be easy to make that extrapolation, given the national political climate that we inhabit, there are striking differences between the two bodies. Political parties define themselves by national issues that do not go away. These include such topics as education, foreign policy and crime. Student Senate coalitions, however, are defined by temporary issues that often are resolved within the term of their tenure. Student Senate issues are grounded in priority not ideology. Coalitions are formed by students who have similar ideas on how to address the issues they think are common to the student body and work to get elected on these issues. PETER VAN CLEVER After their terms expire, new coalitions are formed to address the new issues that have arisen since the original Branden Bell guest columnist opinion@kansan.com student senators' terms began In addition, politicians affiliated with political parties continue to run for re-election until retirement or death, and have the ability to take credit for things they've accomplished during their years of service. It would be ludicrous for student senators to attempt to do so. As they are here for an average of four years, it would be unprincipled for them to take credit for things that none of them had been involved with but that some party they are affiliated with had accomplished before these students had enrolled at the University. It would be akin to a modern-day Republican taking credit for freeing the slaves. This is the manner in which Student Senate elections were held in the recent past, coalitions dissolving and forming each year. Delta Force is the irregularity. And there is a good reason they were held this way, as anyone who takes a glance at state and national legislatures can see. Since that network region can see Factionalism breeds gridlock, just as James Madison warned many years ago. One shudders to think of how ineffective our Student Senators would be if they engaged in the same partisan wrangling that grips the state and national levels of Congress. The dissolution of coalitions at the end of the election allows for a spirit of bipartisanship within Student Senate, which is conducive to effective governance on behalf of the student body. I was shocked and appalled when I discovered the conduct that some of the United Students' candidates engaged in last year, and I am personally outraged that any Kansan opinion staff member would seek to tie myself or the VOICE coalition to that same conduct. The VOICE coalition is filled with bright, enthusiastic students who want to leave this University a better place than they found it. They are devoting countless hours for an opportunity at the privilege of performing the thankless, under-appreciated and unpaid task of being a student senator. They do not do this to pad their resumes or to perpetuate a clannish social club, but because they want to make a difference at the University of Kansas for the students they seek to represent. To attempt to link these good people to the actions of a few students in the year past is ludicrous and unfair, bordering on yellow journalism. It's like trying to blame a modern-day Democrat for slavery. This process does not benefit from mud-slinging, whether it comes from the media or from the parties themselves. The VOICE coalition prides itself on running a clean campaign, not having received a campaign violation to date, and will continue to do so. Attempts to turn our University's electoral process into some sort of blame game, regardless of who initiates them, does a disservice to the maturity and intellect of the student body.

After all, our parents have a right to know about our drunk drives arrests, too.

Folks like me can't be expected to think before we act. But bear this in mind: Has J.D. Jenkins ever been so honest with you? Following, in no particular order, is a list of the sins that might emerge in a check of my background. It's true; I acted in musicals in middle school and high school. I acted, sang and even attempted to dance. I realize that such a revelation would have killed Ben Waller's presidential campaign, but the truth is the truth. - The pictures of George W. Bush, the donkey and I are entirely innocent. We were merely taking it out for a breath of fresh air. I still don't I have, on certain occasions, been at parties where alcohol was consumed by students. And minors. And pets. I may have even consumed such alcohol myself. I don't exactly remember. I thought it was tobacco. Honest! know how it got stuck in the tree with "Laura is a fox" on its side in iridescent body paint. George and I had to spend the night in the slammer, but once the donkey was taken down and found to be entirely unharmed, we were released with a few stern words. It sure didn't hurt George's career any. As for the donkey, I hear it in a cabinet position now. I have worked at the Kansan for eight full semesters. This in no way has kept me from developing as a normal college student, except for my penchant for recording everything said to me with a secret microcassette recorder. I have watched entire episodes of both *Full House* and *Home Improvement*. I still find Bob Saget and Tim Allen creepily endearing. I'm not a natural blond. I don't even really wee hair. Its an incredible wig bought from "Boy's House of Wigs" s' stuff." You see, I'm actually a 50-year-old insurance salesman getting my kicks by fraternizing with young, outrageous college students. My exploits will soon be made into a movie starring Tom Selleck. Christopher Walken and Uma Thurman I was never actually an agent of Fidel Castro. True, we might have been friendly back in the '60s, but I have always been a red-blooded American citizen. The picture of me and Fidel skipping merrily along the Havana beach (which Jenkins' thugs have undoubtedly found) was a gift from the old coot a couple of years ago. It's a memento of a special time and nothing more. There. At great personal risk to myself, my family and loved ones, I've bared all to the University community. As I stand naked and shivering in the stiff (but slightly arousing) breeze of truth, I pray that you will forgive my trespasses against each and every one of you. Just don't tell my mom.

Editorial Department should help save team The Athletics Department can do more to help alumni keep men's swimming afloat. Recently, a group of Kansas swimming alumni have begun raising money to save the men's swimming and diving team at the University of Kansas. They need to raise $740,000 to keep the program running for the next two years, $1.36 million to finance the program until 2006 and a $10 million endowment to keep it going permanently. Despite all these efforts, the Athletics Department is not offering any help saving the team. But judging from the outpour of support from students and alumni, the department should step in and do as much as possible to help this effort. The cutting of the men's swimming and men's tennis teams has enraged many in the University community. Students, faculty, coaches and alumni from across the country have expressed their disappointment with these cuts. We can all understand the difficulty in making such sacrifices when there just is not enough money to go around. Something had to be done, and the department chose to cut teams. What is upsetting is that when approached with a possible solution to the problem, the department seemed to turn its head. Some have complained that the Athletics Department is requiring the alumni to raise too much money too fast. The department set a deadline of Saturday, June 30 for the $740,000 needed to run the program for the next two years. Bob Frederick, athletics director; said the department required two years of funds up front so that the department could tell recruits that the team wouldn't just be operating on a year-by-year basis. The short deadlines make it all the more important that the department help the alumni raise funds. The least the department could do is provide alumni with a list of people to contact to raise money. That would require minimal effort from the department and could significantly ease the fund-raisers' mission. If the department really cares about keeping the teams here at the University, it needs to step up to help this cause. Although funds are tight, the department can help in other ways.

This was the very first concert for the KU Men's Consort, a male singing group formed this fall by Kerry Marsh, Great Bend graduate student. Tonight the group will perform in a more formal setting. They will be performing four songs as the guest of the Lawrence Men's Chorale, at an event titled "Men's Singing" at 7:30 tonight at the First United Methodist Church, 946 VermontSt. Ben McDaniel, Newton senior, said he attended the first-ever Men's Chorale concert three years ago and promptly joined. Also a member of the Men's Consort, he said he was lucky to be in two men's choirs because it was rare to have one at all. "Lawrence didn't have a men's choir until Kerry and some others decided to put one together." McDaniel said. The group traditionally puts on two programs a year and usually practices an average of two hours per week. Marsh said the group was all about enjoying music, not just singing a few songs once a week. "We're not out to win any contests or anything; it's all about having a good time a couple times a week and enjoying music," Marsh said. He said that the members of the group attributed to this attitude "Most of them are between the ages of 30 and 70 and with all different occupations and interests," he said. "I mean we've got a member of the clergy, KU students and I think a few professors, too." However, the Men's Consort was formed with a more formal and less social purpose. Marsh wanted the group to perform music written for the King's Singers, a six-man singing group at King's College in Britain, of which KU choral Professor Simon Carrington was a founding member. l tonight's concert will be Marsh's last with both groups. He will be leaving the University at the end of the semester to be a graduate student at North Texas University. He said he hoped that the male choral experience would live on in Lawrence after his departure because of the wonderful things that both groups had accomplished since their creation. —Edited by Jennifer Valadez Passover a sacred day for Jews Special to the Kansan "Let my people go," is a phrase with which most students are familiar, but few know what it means or where it came from. Ask one of the 1,000 Jewish students on the KU campus and any of them should be able to tell you — especially since the eight-day celebration of Passover begins Saturday. "Let my people go" was what Moses told the pharaoh of Egypt about 3,000 years ago. He was giving the pharaoh a message from God to free the Hebrew slaves, said Eric Allison, New Orleans junior, and president of KU Hillel, Allison said that when the Pharaoh refused to "let the people go" that God sent 10 plagues on Egypt, with the final plague being death to the first-born son of all those living there. "The angel of death 'passed over' the houses of the Hebrews because they had rubbed lamb's blood over the doorways of their homes as God had instructed." Allison said. It was only after this catastrophe that the Pharaoh relied and told the people to leave, he said. This weekend, Jewish students will By Dawn North scatter throughout the Kansas City area and beyond to celebrate Passover with family and friends. Samantha Singer, Minneapolis sophomore, will head home for a big celebration at her grandparents' house. Lisa Schlackman, New Orleans sophomore, will spend the holiday with friends from school. Susan Shafer-Landau, executive director for KU Hillel, the Jewish student organization on campus, said Passover celebrates the exodus from Egypt, freedom, redemption and the remarkable covenant God made with the Jewish people. "Passover is probably the most observed holiday on the Jewish calendar." Shafer-Landau said. Because Passover begins on Saturday this year, Shafer-Landau said most students would be going home to celebrate the Seder with their families. "The Seder service is a time to remember the exodus by telling the story to your children as if you were really there," said Shafer-Landau. The leader, usually a father or grandfather, started by reading from the Hagadah, and then everyone else took a turn reading a part of the story, she said. Allison said family Seder services could last for one or two hours, depending on who was leading it. As family members retold the story, he said items from the Seder plate were eaten to symbolize the hardships of the Hebrew slaves. The Seder plate contains foods that have special meaning for the holiday: haroseth, a mixture of chopped walnuts, cinnamon and apples to represent the mortar the Jewish slaves used to build pharaoh's bricks; parsley symbolizes springtime and is dipped in salt water to remind them of the tears of the slaves; an egg is a symbol of spring; a shank bone is symbolic of the sacrificial lamb offering and the bitter herbs of freshly grated horseradish reflect the bitterness of slavery. A plate of matzoh, a cracker-like bread, is also placed on the table. This is representative of the Jews' rush to flee from Egypt — there was no time for the bread to rise, so they took it with them and when they later baked it in the sun, it became flat bread. After the Seder service came the real dinner with all of the trimmings. Allison said he remembers such family dinners, and in coming to the University, he hoped to be a part of the Jewish tradition that membership in Hillel offered.

Jones played college football at Georgia. Photo by Jamie Roper/KANSAN 10 Jones' memories of football help him train players By Jeff Denton sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter Beads of sweat trickled down Travis Jones' face yesterday. On a separate practice field away from the rest of the Jayhawk football team, Kansas' defensive line coach preached to six Jayhawks. An empty field made his voice seem louder, which made players work harder. "I tell my guys that pride is what compels the man to do his very best, even when no one is watching." Jones said. As if it were hard not to watch the 6-foot-4 Jones. If it weren't for the absence of shoulder pads, picking out Jones from his players would be impossible. He is a 28-year-old coach in a college player's body. "Td like to line him up and play him," coach Terry Allen said. Jones is only five years removed from his college football playing days — he was a starter and co-captain at Georgia. After graduation, he did not want to get away from the exhilaration of Saturday afternoons. His love for the game was too strong. This passion convinced Allen that Jones would fit in as a member of the Kansas coaching staff. He was a man with football in his blood who could relate well to the team, Allen said. "Players have respect for former players," Allen said. "You coach with a personality. So far, he's really made an impact. He brings so much excitement." Jones credits this coaching enthusiasm to his playing days when anything less than intensity was unacceptable. In the first seven days of spring practice, Jones has taken an active approach. If a player has trouble with a certain drill, Jones will not only tell him how to improve, but physically show him to get it done. "I want the team to feed off the energy," Jones said. "I look into the guys' faces and remember what it was like." At the end of yesterday's practice, Jones and his men had returned to the main field to participate in a 9-on-7 drill. The coach showed no signs of letting up. By that time, a few faces had arrived to watch — one being Bob Frederick, athletics director. Before meeting Jones, Frederick had been informed about him by a friend of his who works in the athletics department at Georgia. He knew that he could coach, but his friend's words left him no doubts about Jones' character, Frederick said. Jones has the approval of Frederick, the trust of Allen and the admiration of his players. But all Jones wants is to coach the game. "It's hard not to be fired up when you play for him," Allen said. Coaching change Barr played on the 1967 and 1968 Big Eight Conference championship teams at Oklahoma. Kansas wasted no time in finding a replacement for former linebackers coach Mark Farley. Johnny Barr, who has spent the past four years at Arizona State, will be the Jayhawks' new linebackers coach. He went to three bowl games in the past four seasons with the Sun Devils. In 30 years of coaching college football, Barr has also made stops at Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Lamar and Southwest Texas State. Golf coach to see Indiana homecoming — Edited by Doug Pacey By John Domoney M. ABU KAIDI When the Kansas women's golf team heads to Bloomington, Ind., to play in the Indiana Invitational tomorrow and Sunday, coach Nicole Hollingsworth might act as the team's tour guide. She played on Indiana University's golf team and earned a bachelor's degree in public affairs in 1995. sports@kansan.com Kansan soortswriter Now in her second season as head coach for Kansas, Hollingsworth has begun to assemble the program she envisioned when she was hired to strengthen the program in June of 1999. Hollingsworth almost didn't get into coaching after her career at Indiana, where the team won the 1995 Big Ten Championship her senior year and finished fifth at that year's NCAA Championship. "I couldn't pass up a job like Kansas because it's the job you dream of when you get into coaching." Hollingsworth said. "I've been here for two years, and I haven't found one bad thing yet." winter quarter of Hollingsworth's last year was 3.44 and overall her teams generated five Academic AllAmericans, something Hollingsworth is most proud of. Still, Kansas was the call that Hollingsworth was waiting for. In the summer of 1999 she quickly put her stamp on the Jayhawk golf program when her first team had three top-five tournament finishes. Her teams also continued their academic prowess as her first team's cumulative GPA was 3.12. Jayhawk golfers are also ever- "I know most of my players won't be LPGA players, so they better have a good understanding of academic success for later on in life," she said. "I couldn't pass up a job like Kansas because it's the job you dream of when you get into coaching.I've been here for two years,and I haven't found one bad thing yet." Only three days away from turning pro and in the process of seeking out sponsors, Hollingsworth received a phone call from Ohio University that changed her life forever. The Bobcats wanted her to be their next coach — she accepted the job on the phone and gave up her chances of playing on tour. The catch to her position was that Ohio hadn't had a women's golf program for more than 20 years and Hollingsworth was placed in charge of developing a new team from scratch in her first head coaching job. Nicole Hollingsworth Women's golf coach In her three years as head coach of the Bobcats, Hollingsworth's teams reduced their scoring averages by more than fifteen strokes. Along with success on the golf course, the combined team grade point average for the to complete at least 20 hours of community service every year. "Coach knows that academics come before athletics," said freshman Jennifer Bawanan, who was part of Hollingsworth's first recruiting class at Kansas. "The community service shows we're not only golfers, but we also give to the community." Now, only two weeks away from the Big 12 Championship, Hollingsworth's second edition of "I want to build a powerhouse here, and I didn't get into coaching to be medicre," Hollingsworth said. "Kansas has all the tools to become a really great team with a lot of patience and a little time." "It would be neat to say when I was 57, 30 years from when I got the job, that I stayed here forever because that's hard to do in coaching." Hollingsworth said. "Most people look their entire careers to find the most fabulous job, and I found it at age 27." As for Hollingsworth, she knows that this is just the beginning of her work at Kansas. Jayhawks are beginning to develop into the team and program that she is striving toward.

Photo by Katie Moore/KANSAN --- Softball team hopes to go far in postseason play By Brent Briggeman sports @kansan.com Kansas sportwriter Burger looking to finish at top of Big 12 Conference The Kansas softball team has turned its thoughts to the postseason as it enters the last month of the regular season. As of now, the team likes its chances to compete deep into May. "The Big 12 has a great reputation with the NCAA Tournament," coach Tracy Bunge said. "Over the last four years, the conference has sent at least four teams and as many as seven teams to regionals, so we've had great representation." Currently sitting in third place in the conference, Kansas (20-17 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12 Conference) would figure to be a virtual shoe-in if the season were to finish now. "It's really too early to tell," Bunge said. "The big key is how you finish. The last two weeks of conference play and the conference tournament, that's really what they look at and can ultimately determine who advances." NCAA softball, like basketball, places 64 teams in the postseason. The teams are divided into eight regions, with the winner of each region advancing to the But the season doesn't end today College World Series. Historically, Kansas has been a regular in the field of 64. The 'Hawks have qualified two of the past three years and eight times since their inaugural trip in 1983. The Jayhawks have advanced to the College World Series only once, in 1992. This particular Kansas队 is likely to go as far as their players' bats will take them. In its 20 wins, the team has averaged 5.95 a game. In 17 losses, the team has scored under two runs per game. "I don't see any reason why we can't finish at the top of the conference," said third baseman Megan Urquhart, who has hit 467 in conference games this season. "I think it will just depend on our hitting." Bunge also expressed concern with the lack of experience on the bench. Besides the nine regulars, Kansas has only one player with as many as 20 career at bats. "We've been really fortunate so far in terms of injuries, knock on wood," Bunge said. "But that's something that's always in the back of your mind as a coach." Kansas travels to Lubbock, Texas, this week for a two-game series with the Red Raiders (25-15 and 3-3). sports@kansan.com Edited by Melissa Coolev Big 12 starts trend to cut struggling men's sports Despite all the effort given to restoring the men's swimming and diving team, the hope of resurrecting the team has become dimmer. But the Kansai team is not alone two other Big 12 Conference schools have dropped their men's swimming and diving teams. Nebraska discontinued its men's swimming and diving team, announcing the move in a news release March 25. Monday, Iowa State announced the elimination of its men's baseball program and its swimming and diving teams, a move it said would save $370,000 in the next fiscal year. That leaves only three Big 12 schools with men's swimming teams: Missouri; Texas and Texas A&M. Incidentally, the Texas men's team won its second consecutive NCAA swimming and diving title the day before the Nebraska announcement. Bruce Van De Veld, Iowa State athletics director, said the two programs were cut "to maintain fiscal integrity that will help us maintain a strong competitive environment in the Big 12 Conference." He also said a factor in cutting the Cyclone base ball program was that the team was at a competitive disadvantage against Big 12 schools that can practice outdoors year round, which is basically the entire South Division. Bill Byrne, athletics director at Nebraska, said that the decision to cut the men's swimming program was a budgetary issue. The athletics department was reportedly about $250,000 above the budget the last fiscal year. Nebraska's elimination of the program is anticipated to save the athletic department approximately $500,000 a year. Byrne said the women's swimming and diving team couldn't be cut because the school must demonstrate a commitment to meeting the gender-equality regulations of Title IX. For Nebraska, that means adding women's sports, not cutting them. Although 47 percent of Nebraska students are female, only 37 percent of scholarship athletes are women. Incidentally, an internal investigation of the Nebraska men's and women's swimming and diving teams began on Sept. 201 Men's and women's swimming and diving coach Cal Bentz and his staff resigned after the investigations. Nebraska has a September 2001 date with the NCAA Committee on Infractions to deal with what Bryne called "major violations." Byrne said that the possibility of NCAA sanctions "accelerated the process" but that the elimination of the men's swimming and diving team was "made primarily for budgetary reasons." So what's going on here? The highly profitable Nebraska football team can't support the men's swimming and men's gymnastics teams? The Cornhusker football team, a perennial national power, brings home a healthy paycheck every season. If Nebraska can have financial problems, even with the football team bringing home big bowl money every year, it's not surprising that athletics department has budget problems — and cuts — here at Kansas. Sure, the basketball program is a big moneymaker here, but just like at Nebraska, one sport can't carry the entire department. At this point, no immediate cuts of more programs at Kansas seem imminent. But Jayhawk athletes should be aware of budgetary and Title IX concerns, which are here and spreading. It's possible that cutting money-losing men's programs could become a national trend. If budgets are tight — and they seem to be — coaches of money-losing men's programs should be looking over their shoulders, watching for the executioner's axe. If I were on a men's tennis team, a men's golf team, the Nebraska men's gymnastics and wrestling teams, or on one of the three remaining men's swimming teams in the Big 12, I'd be prepared and aware of transfer deadlines at other institutions just in case my sport got cut.

You can whip your body into shape, but what about your heart? You're confident in April, and you look terrific. Count your money in May, and stash some away. A friend is inspirational, if a little strange, in June. Forget all that, and fix a nice nest in July. Love sparkles in August, but you're apt to get dirty in September. You can win when you face challenges in October, but perhaps you'd rather. In December, turn over a new leaf and walk down a new path. An idea that at first seemed odd is old hat by February. You're ready to take on a whole new game. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7. Yesterday's frustrations lead to new breakthroughs, as you face your difficulties head-on. Nobody said it was always going to be easy. Be sure not to take a setback out on your partner, OK? Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6. Everything falls neatly into place like the little parts of a Chinese puzzle and — voial — the prize is yours. They'll wonder how you did it, but you don't need to tell them. See if they can figure it out for themselves. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6. You may be bogged down in details most of the day. Take your time and get them right. You know the rules so follow them. Avoiding reality will just be a waste of time. Thank heaven it's Friday! Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 9. Produce the facts to back up your claim. If you've done the homework, you can beat heavy odds. Then, turn down an invitation to mingle with the rich and famous. You'll enjoy the evening more with a good book. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7. First, take care of the person who's paying your bills. There may be a shake-up in your social life later on. Somebody you thought would be there can't make it, and a new person is warmly received. Relax, there's a happy ending. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5. It's not easy to keep track of what's going on, but it is possible, and your chances are better than most people's. This is not due to luck; it's your willingness to work and your natural gift for penny-pinching that bring success. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --- Today is a 7. Some of your fears may become reality, but don't let that stop you. Instead, be better prepared. That's sup posed to be the upside of worries anyway, remember? Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5. Watch what you say and do, because there could be a lot riding on these negotiations. Figure out who's got the money and what they need to have done. The treasure can be yours, but you'll have to work for it. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)—Today is an 8. It's important for you to carefully follow the rules, protocol and dress code. Then, put yourself in a favorable position. Be ready for good things to happen and be in the right place at the right time. P Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6. Go over your lesson one last time before turning it in. You can make it even more perfect. Meanwhile, stay out of a battle between a younger person and an older one. You'll be more helpful if you are objective. 二 2 LAW ENFORCEMENT Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 4. It's possible that you could do quite well, almost by accident. For starters, hold on to what you've got. This isn't luck; it's more like bulldog determination. Keep looking like you didn't get enough and see what happens. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8. There's light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train it's your escape hatch. But before you head out to the wide-open spaces, make sure you've left a path the others can follow. Bread crumbs might work, depending on the fauna. DANCE O KANSAS SOCCER Spring Classic kicks off weekend exhibition The Kansas soccer team is prepared to spring into action tomorrow in exhibition games as it kicks off the first KU Spring Classic. The Jayhawks enter the weekend on a hot streak after winning two games at a tournament in Memphis, Tenn., by defeating the Durham Football Academy 1-0 and an Irish club team 3-0. Sophomore Carmel Kaplinger scored all four Kansas goals. The classic begins at 9 a.m. tomorrow as Kansas faces the Colorado Rush Soccer Club. Other teams participating include Oklahoma State, Tulsa and Southwest Missouri State. Each team will play three games. M — Chris Wristen KANSAS GOLF Men's golfer named 'Player of the Week' TRUMBULL, Conn. — Kansas junior Travis Hurst has been named Golf World's Collegiate Player of the Week in its April 6 issue. The Erie, Kan., native earned the honor after his performance in the Stevinson Ranch Invitational on March 26-27. Hurst's 73.36 stroke average ranks fifth in the Big 12 Conference. In nine tournaments this season, he has finished in the Top 10 five times, and among the Top 25 eight times. "We are very pleased that he has been chosen," Kansas coach Ross Randall said. "He has had a good season so far and has done a lot for us. He certainly is one of the top-ranked players in our district, and it is a real honor for him." Hurst, who transferred from Butter County Community College this fall, was a first-team All-American at the junior college level in 2000. -Kansan staff report AMES, Iowa — Iowa State freshman guard Zach Fortune was given his release and has decided to transfer from Iowa State at the end of the spring semester, coach Larry Eustach said yesterday. "We wish Zach the best of luck in his athletic and academic future," Eustachy said. "We really appreciated the time and effort he gave our program." Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only. BIG 12 BASKETBALL Iowa State freshman announce departure Fortune averaged 2.2 points-per game and made 53.3 percent of his shots from the floor. He scored a career-high 10 points in the Cyclones victory over Brigham Young. The Omaha, Neb., native played in 12 games as a true freshman until suffering a season-ending knee injury on Feb. 9. scorpion Yankees sweep Royals in season-opening series NEW YORK — Mike Mussina sparkled for the New York Yankees, allowing five hits in 7 2/3 innings yesterday in a 1-0 win against the Kansas City Royals. Paul O'Neill hit a solo home run in the first inning off Dan Reichert. The three-time World Series champions have opened the season 3-0 for the first time since 1995. MLB Mariano Rivera got four outs for his first save of the season. Blue Jays 11, Devil Rays 0 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Chris Carpenter allowed four hits and struck out a career-high 11 batters in eight innings, improving to 5-1 against Tampa Bay. Darrin Fletcher's two-run double keyed a four-run first inning after Ben Grieve misjudged Raul Mondesi's fly ball, and gave up a two-base error and Vinny Castilla misplayed Brad Fullmer's bases-loaded grounder to third, allowing two runs to score. Tampa Bay made five errors, and just two of seven runs off Bryan Rekar were earned. DETROIT — Todd Jones wasted a ninth-inning lead, then allowed three more runs in the 10th. Twins 9, Tigers 5 Doug Mientkiewicz hit a tying sacrifice fly in the ninth and, after Jones loaded the ninth in the 10th, Corey Koski hit a sacrifice fly off C.J. Nitkowski, who then threw a run-scoring wild pitch and allowed a two-run double to Denny Hocking. Eddie Guardado allowed an RBI double to Tony Clark in the bottom half. Colorado sweeps Cards Astacio, following Mike Hampton and Denny Neagle, struck out 10 in eight innings, allowing one run, six hits and no walks. Colorado's three starters gave up four runs in the series for a 1.69 ERA. DENVER — Pedro Astacio gave Colorado its third straight solid outing, and the Rockies routed the St. Louis Cardinals 11-2 yesterday to sweep a season-opening three-game series. Ron Gant and Todd Helton each hit three-run homers for Colorado. Matt Morris gave up 10 runs — six earned — and 11 hits in three-plus innings. CHICAGO — Kevin Tapani gave two hits in seven shutout innings and struck out nine, and Rondell White drove in another run against his old team as the Cubs got their first win this season. Cubs 2, Expos 1 Jeff Fassero allowed a two-out home run in the ninth to Andy Tracy, but picked up his first save since June 30, 1993, when he was with Montreal. Tony Armas Jr. gave up two runs — only one earned — and four hits in five innings. Reds 4, Pirates 1 CINCINNATI — Dmitri Young doubled with the bases loaded in the third off Jimmy Anderson. Larkin walked twice and scored, ending a solid homestand. In his new role as leadoff hitter, Larkin set up the offense by reaching base in 13 of 18 plate appearances. Elmer Dessens allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings, and John Riedling pitched the ninth for his second career save. 射箭 Denver signs Kennison as third wide receiver Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed. NFL Kennison played in all 16 games, including 10 starts, for the Chicago Bears last season and led the team with 55 receptions for 549 yards and two touchdowns. He also was the leading receiver when he played for the New Orleans Saints in 1999. DENVER — Seeking a third wide receiver, the Denver Broncos signed free agent Eddie Kennison to a multiyear contract yesterday. In five NFL seasons, the 6-1, 190-pounder from Louisiana State has caught 212 passes for 2,946 yards and 16 touchdowns in 77 games, primarily as a starter. Denver has been searching for a dependable third wide receiver to play behind Ed McCaffrey and Rod Smith for several years. The team brought in veteran receiver Andre Reed last August in hopes he would fill the void. Reed left at the end of training camp and the Broncos never managed to find a solid backup.

Smart grew up in College Station before moving to Omaha when he was 15 years old. Smart said the chance to pitch against the team that he watched as a youngster always excited him. "To go down there and pitch in front of five or six thousand people is something I will love to do," Smart said. "I've gone to games ever since I was little, and it's special to me to pitch there." Kansas (14-19, 2-13) enters the three-game set reeling reeling from an eight-game losing streak. For the third-straight weekend, the Jayhawks take on one of the hottest teams in the Big 12. The Aggies (22-11, 7-5) have won six of their last seven contests and have jumped into fourth place in the conference Baseball standings. Kansas coach Bobby Randall said that although the coaching staff hadn't scouted Texas A&M much, the Aggies' recent record is evidence enough that they are a worthy team. "We don't know much about them, but they've obviously been hot," Randall said. "We're going to have to be on the top of our game to beat them." For the most part, the Jayhawks have not been on the top of their game during Big 12 play. The Jayhawks are hitting .255 against Big 12 opponents. Only junior Ryan Klocksien (.304) is hitting better than .300 during conference play. Kansas has been plagued by strikeouts and runners left on base during its recent conference woes. Randall said that the coaching staff has done as much as possible to end Kansas' hitting struggles. "It's mostly a confidence problem at the plate." Randall said. "We're working with guys as much as we can, you know. As coaches we can't hit for them, but I've probably thrown more batting practice this year than ever," he said. "It's not a lack of effort or work ethic, just a lack of performance." In last week's Big 12 series, Kansas led No. 22 Texas 5-4 in the ninth inning before surrendering six runs and losing 10-5. Smart said that loss carried negative momentum into the last two games of the series. He said he hoped a victory tonight could have a reverse effect. "We were really down after that loss," Smart said. "A win in the first game is huge because it will give us the confidence that we really can win two or three games from them."

Run DMC seeks today's rap fans The Associated Press NEW YORK — Run DMC have never been shy about emphasizing their importance in the rap world. "I think it's a big loss," he said. "I think DMC played a very, very big role. From a creative side, I think there was so much more that could have been done if DMC were around." The hip-hop pioneers are quick to boast about the millions of records they've sold, how they took rap mainstream with hits like "It's Tricky," and how they basically started the whole rock-fusion fusion genre, most notably with their smash collaboration with Aerosmith on "Walk This Way." Producer-rapper Jermaine Dupri, one of the many stars on the album, says McDaniels' limited role takes away from the group's attempted comeback. But even the "Kings of Rock," as they like to call themselves, know that legend won't get them too far among today's rap fans, who know more lyrics from newcomers like Lil' Bow Wow or Ludacris than any of the ground-breaking raps Run DMC recited. Although the trio of DJ Run, Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell) and DMC (Darryl McDaniels) have stayed in the public eye over the years with a heavy tour schedule and the occasional commercial, they haven't made an impact on the charts for years. But instead of growing bitter about their declining popularity, Simmons decided to recapture it with collaborations with younger artists such as Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas and Wyclef Jean. So as they attempt a comeback with their new album, Crown Royal, the once mighty rap pioneers are willingly sharing the spotlight with today's current hitmakers, hoping collaborations with the artists will help them capture the attention of today's music fans. While it may end up winning Run DMC some new fans, the strategy cost them artistically. McDaniels, fed up with the Simmons' and Mizell's desire to capture the youth market, left the project and is barely heard on any of the tracks, even though he is prominently featured on the album's cover and is participating in their current tour. "We're a nonentity until we drop a hit record, and that's the bottom line," said Joseph Simmons, better known as DJ Run. "I think all the rappers, they look up to us ... if we come through and do something big, it makes them look up to us even more."

In a letter to then chancellor Ernest Hiram Lindley and Dean Harold Butler, Bloch provided a detailed account of his "academic and artistic training." Bloch's academic career was admittedly sparse. He had dropped out of high school at age 16 to pursue dreams of becoming a serious artist. He studied briefly at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts but left before earning a degree, feeling his vision and talent were too advanced for the training he was receiving. As for his artistic career, Bloch was elusive. The letter, though long, contained glaring omissions. The most obvious was any mention of his affiliation with a group of painters centered in Munich, Germany, in the 1910s calling themselves "Der Blaue Reiter" (The Blue Rider). The group, which featured the powerful expressionistic and avant-garde painting styles of artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, August Macke and Bloch, would turn the art world on its eye, so to speak, completely transforming the direction of modernist painting. Lindley and Butler had no idea who they were getting in Bloch. He was hired regardless. Amazing, considering the position is one that today would undoubtedly require strict academic qualifications. Bloch would spend the next 24 years, until 1947, helping build the Art Department at the University. He would spend the next 38 years of his life in utter isolation from the world's artistic centers. Throughout his career, Bloch would shun the kind of recognition most artists crave. In an age where the definitions of artist and celebrity have become increasingly muddled, Bloch's story stands out as one of an artist determined to let his work speak for itself. He would spend the remainder of his life primarily in Lawrence, painting, composing and translating poems, all marked by intensely felt spiritual and emotional visions of the the world, humanity, joy and suffering. Forty years after Bloch's death in 1961, and 90 years after his first exhibition with The Blue Rider, the art world is once again focusing its attention on Bloch's work. Munich and The Blue Rider Bloch left St. Louis in 1908 at the age of 26 for Europe in hopes of finding a place to pursue what he felt to be his elevated artistic calling. He traveled to several European cities before settling in Munich. David Cateforis, professor of art history, who has spent the past several years researching Bloch's work, said Munich seemed like the natural choice for Bloch. "He felt that Munich would be a great place to become a painter," Cateforis said. "Most American artists of his generation were attracted to Paris, but Munich had an artistic reputation that rivaled that of Paris around that time." Bloch began to paint seriously while in [Painting] Munich. It was there that he first encountered the work of Kandinsky, for which he claimed to have felt a deep affinity. He made contact with Kandinsky in 1911, and shortly thereafter Kandinsky and Marc paid a visit to Bloch's studio. The artists discovered they were moving in similar directions — away from direct pictorial representation and toward abstraction. There was an intense spiritual bend to their work as well. "Bloch felt art was almost a spiritual calling, that true art was a form of spiritual work." Cateforis said. "This was an attitude that he shared with the other artists of The Blue Rider. Their conception of art was a lofty one. They saw art as a form of communication uncorrupted by crass materialism. It was a spiritual pursuit. It wasn't about making money. It was about moving peoples' souls." "Winter" (1918) shows the use of vibrant color and cubist influence characteristic of Bloch's Munich period. "Winter" is currently on exhibit at the Spence Museum of Art. contributed art The works of The Blue Rider painters that premiered at the Thannhauser Gallery in Munich in 1911 each displayed their own techniques. There was no definite program, other than the loosely based spiritual theme. Bloch displayed six paintings, characterized by vibrant colors set off by thick black brushstrokes. They were decidedly abstract, with an almost two-dimensional melding of background and foreground. Yet the works remained representational. The subject matter was mystical and the movement of the characters musical. The characters that inhabited them — apparitional Biblical figures and the harlequin and pierrots of the commedia dell'arte — would continue to show up in Bloch's paintings until the very end. Return to the United States: Lawrence and Isolationism The varied styles of The Blue Rider painters would come to be labeled Expressionism. Tim DePaepe, KU graduate and a local filmmaker working on a documentary on the life and work of Bloch, said that 90 years after the first landmark exhibition, Expressionism continues to be imitated, assimilated and derived from by artists everywhere in all genres. Bloch stayed in Munich until 1919, and he continued to exhibit his paintings in Germany and throughout Europe. But financial difficulties and the toll of World War I on Germany and Bloch's psyche would force him to return to the United States. In 1923, he came to the University of Kansas. "If you truly look at Expressionism, you'll see how pervasive its influence on popular culture is. To this day, it's everywhere, not just in painting, but also in literature, in movies, and even in music videos. That in itself is testament to the power and vision of artists like Bloch." M. C. E. R. Albert Bach, former head of the Department of Painting and Drwaing, now the Art Department, in his attic studio in 1932 at his former home at 1015 Alabama St. contributed photo Cateforis said the move to Lawrence and the acceptance of the position at KU seemed to make sense in light of his view of art as spiritual rather than material. Cateforis said that though the themes of his paintings remained virtually constant, his sensibility and technique moved far beyond that of his earlier work. He adopted a more restricted palette, abandoning the bright colors of his youth for earth tones. He also began to use white more frequently, which Cateforis likened to a spiritual light that infuses the images. The differences in style easily can be seen when comparing a work such as "Passing Train," painted in 1948, with a work such as 1918's "Winter." "He grew tired of a life where he was forced to find places to exhibit his work, then hope for good reviews and depend on sales to collectors." Cateforis said. "He was attracted to teaching because he felt it freed him to pursue his own vision of art on his own terms. He freed him to cultivate his own garden." "His later work, painted primarily in Lawrence, is more fully his own." Cateferis said. "There is something more deeply felt in the later work. It is profusely expressive." "Bloch once said that a picture that is not a poem is not a picture, and a poem that is not a picture is not a poem," Baron said. "He thought of the two together, and tried to infuse his paintings with poetic ideas. Baron said that for Bloch, poetry captured the essence of the creative spirit. The poets It was also during his time in Lawrence that Bloch began to seriously write and translate poetry. Frank Baron, professor of German who has published works on Bloch, including a volume of Bloch's translations of German poets such as Karl Kraus and Georg Trakl, said that Bloch took an interdisciplinary approach to poetry and painting. Cateforis said that, to Bloch's surprise, he found he enjoyed teaching. He left his mark on countless students, including the landscape painter Robert Sudan. When he wasn't teaching, Bloch could be found painting in the confines of his home attic, which he transformed into a studio. He painted continuously, and with what he described as "ovsterlike concentration." he chose to translate, particularly Kraus, who spoke out fervently against World War II and whose poems capture the extremes of war and peace, joy and suffering, shared Bloch's interior and mystical perspective. The Rediscovery of Bloch's Work Bloch continued to live and paint in Lawrence until his death in 1961. Having virtually abstained from promoting his work for what are still largely unknown personal and ethical reasons, he left behind a large body of later work that has yet to be examined by scholars and the public. But his later work slowly is starting to garner more attention, thanks in part to the efforts of scholars such as Cateferis and Baron. Bloch's widow, Anna, also has been a passionate promoter of the late husband's work. DePeape's documentary on Bloch, which is in the process of being filmed, should also help in exposing Bloch's unique work to others. "It's hard to determine what people think about Bloch," Cateforis said. "He remains a fairly obscure artist. The market, though small, for his paintings right now is focused on the Munich period and his association with The Blue Rider, probably because it is easier to understand something in a context that is more familiar." Cateforis said that though the later "Passing Train" (1947-48), with its use of earth tones and whites, is characteristic of Bloch's later work in Lawrence. contributed art works were unfamiliar, they were still very approachable. "They take more time to understand, and they are an acquired taste," Cateforis said. "But the vision represented is a more personal one that is more likely to touch individual viewers. They provide something viewers of his work won't find anywhere else." "A lot of these paintings don't hang in museums. I think they should. If they aren't accessible, how are we to appreciate them?" Cateferi said. Those wishing to see a sample of Bloch's painting in person do have the opportunity to do so. The Spencer Museum of Art currently own four of Bloch's paintings, as well as a number of works on paper. Two of Bloch's works, which dramatize the contrast between his early and later work, "Winter" (1918) and "Still Life With Landscape" (1954), are currently on view. The Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City also houses a small collection of Bloch's work. The quest to make Bloch's work more accessible and to uncover the enigmatic mysteries about the man is an ongoing one for those who feel passionate about his work. DePape said it was a quest he was proud to be a part of. "As the mystery of Bloch's life unfolds, I find myself gaining insight not only into the man and his art, but also into the questions why painters paint and why we look at their paintings," De Papee said. --- 4 AAAAAAHHH ★★★ STUDENT ELECTIONS WEEK ★★★ Weather Kansan Today: Sunny with a high of 77 and a low of 57 Tomorrow: Cloudy with a high of 70 and a low of 48 THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Monday, April 9, 2001 Sports: The softball team lost two games at Texas Tech this weekend.

The event Friday night was sponsored by the Organization and Leadership Office as part of Hawk Nights, which are non-alcoholic events for students. Photo by Joshua Richards/KANSAN Rolling a win together Two campus entertainment events. Casino Night and Hawk Nights, merged Friday to create a successful evening of gambling and prizes. "Stars on the Strip" resulted from combining Casino Night, Templin Hall's largest event of the year, which offers students a gambling haven, and Hawk Nights, a University-sponsored, alcohol-free entertainment program. Ann Foltz, Abilene sophomore and Templin Hall president, said the alliance improved Casino Night by increasing funds, publicity and turnout. Approximately 450 students — twice the number usually drawn by Casino Night — walked down a spotlighted, red carpet to gamble their chips until midnight on Templin's floors. Volunteers from Templin, Triangle fraternity and around campus supervised poker, roulette and craps tables. Hawk and Casino nights Hawk and Casino nights enjoy benefits of teaming up to party By Sarah Smarsh Kansan staff writer Students earned money to buy raffle tickets for the subsequent drawing and a chance at a seven-day trip. Other prizes included two "all-sports combos," a Sony Playstation 2, a DVD player and a mountain bike. Foltz said working with Hawk Nights meant more prizes — and more winners. Another new perk was free admittance. In the past, Templin Hall government charged Casino Night attendees to raise money for philanthropies. However, Hawk Nights is a free event this year. Aramis Watson, Wichita sophomore and Hawk Nights president, said the event garnered about 200 cans. Chris Keller, Seward, Neb., freshman, said "Stars on the Strip" provided an alternative to partying. "Why do the same thing every weekend?" he said. "Plus, you can win cool stuff." Watson said Hawk Nights organizers had begun working with Templin Hall government in March seeing an opportunity for a "good collaboration." Hawk Nights has worked in the past with Student Union Activities, the Student Alumni Association and fraternities and sororites. The union of organizations succeeded in making a bigger, more accessible event, Foltz said. "Everyone had a good time," she said. Habitat houses its 37th Lawrence family By Cynthia Malakasis Kansan staff writer As the people in the driveway sang "Amazing Grace," the bright April sun shone on the pale yellow wall in the background — the color that the Bartels chose for their new house. "It's unbelievable, really," said Dawn Bartels, mother in a family of nine, after the dedication ceremony of their new house. "This is our first house." Saturday the Bartels became the 37th family in Lawrence to have a house completed through the efforts of the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, an ecumenical Christian non-profit organization that builds housing in a partnership with low-income families. Andre Bollaert, Lawrence resident and executive director for Habitat, said it took a year of work by about 800 volunteers and donations from businesses, churches and individuals to construct the house on East 17th Street. the current housing situation of the family and whether there was a real need for change. The other two determining factors are the willingness of the family to work on construction and whether they're financially able to pay a mortgage after they move in. He said Habitat first examined Bollaert said the mortgage payments got channeled toward the construction of more houses, thus contributing to the purpose of the organization. Bollaert said the organization held a presentation twice a year, where families could get information about the program and apply. He said there were three criteria considered in determining whether Habitat would take on a housing project. Linda Klinker, program director for Habitat, said the contribution of the family was one of the most important factors in the construction process. work on their house and make the mortgage payments. This is not a welfare program." For the Bartels, the feeling cannot be described. After living in a rented trailer, the sight of their new house is makes their faces beam. Seven-year-old Phalena, the second-oldest child of the family, said what excited her the most was the prospect of having a bedroom to share with two of her sisters. "My dad is going to make the bed." Phalena said. "It's not a handout, it's a handup," Klinker said.

By Danny Phillips writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer DEECO FORCE It's a problem; it's going to take it's going to fix; and that money will be hard to come by. "This is a problem that's going to take years to address," said Jessica Bankston, VOICE candidate for student body president, who, along with her opponent, Justin Mills, is on a minority issues committee that recently released a recommendation report. The report asked the administration to determine if money earned from its partnership with Coca-Cola could be used to fund minority scholarships and to establish a permanent commission on the status of minorities. "The report summarizes a starting point." Bankston said. She said the next step was to research the University's peer institutions and examine their See page 6A More information Additional coverage of Student Senate. See page GA recruitment and retention programs. The peer institutions, which are similar to the University in size, community and population, include the University of Colorado, University of Oklahoma, University of North Carolina, University of Iowa and University of Oregon. "I'd rather learn from another school's mistakes so we can try and avoid making those same errors," Bankston said. Mills, Delta Force candidate for student body president, said he was making diversity his platform issue and the theme of his term if he was elected. But Mills said he would focus on more than just the hard numbers of minority recruitment. He would also initiate a year-long campus program aimed at making the student population aware of the importance of diversity. "There needs to be a change on the view of diversity," he said. Both nationwide and on campus, Mills said, there has been a backlash against the concept of diversity, especially concerning Affirmative Action. See CANDIDATES on page 64 Thirty-seven Watkins Scholarship Hall residents have signed a petition demanding that they have a voice in deciding the hall's new proctor. But when the housing department reviewed the committee's recommendation, it delayed the selection of the new proctor, creating suspicion among Watkins residents that the department rejected Kuiper because she was involved in an ongoing lawsuit hall residents had against the University of Kansas and Bank of America. By Cassio Furtado The Department of Student Housing announced Thursday that Aidan Loveland would be the hall's new proctor. Kansan staff writer The candidates for the position — Kaili Kuiper, Salina junior, and Loveland, Lawrence junior, were interviewed by a hall selection committee before spring break. Watkins women protest new proctor Loveland said the petition didn't personally attack her but instead asked that the hall's authority in the selection process not to be taken away. She also said that because the housing department worked closely with the proctor, it needed an active voice in its selection. The committee then recommended Kuiper's appointment. Committee members said the housing department's approval of committee recommendations was usually a formality. Kuiper believes issues other than her qualifications for the proctor job played a role in the department's decision, but she said the decision would not hurt her ties with the hall. Olga Ramm, Manhattan senior and Watkins resident, said that the hall's residents were disappointed in housing and that the residents still were talking about what to do next. "This isn't the end of it," she said. "People are truly upset about it. We expect a full and complete explanation." 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. He said that Kuiper's involvement in the lawsuit wasn't a factor in the selection process. On March 15, Jennifer Scott, current Watkins proctor, said student housing had delayed the announcement because Kuiper was involved in the lawsuit. Scott said Dan Suitor, director of scholarship halls, had expressed concern that Kuiper was involved in the hall's preservation committee and in the lawsuit against the University and Bank of America. Sultor could not be reached for comment. Scott also said the housing department normally checked whether the nominees had violated any hall policies and approved the nominees if they had no violations.

Andrew Charles "Drew" Cobb II, 19, died from injuries he suffered after jumping from the eighth floor of Haymaker Hall, Kansas State spokeswoman Cheryl May said. He died after undergoing surgery at Mercy Hospital in Manhattan. Cobb was a sophomore in graphic design from Denver, Colo. He was born May 15, 1981, in Denver and was a 1999 graduate of Kent Denver School. He was a member of the executive board of the United Black Volices at Kansas State. He is survived by his parents, Gena and Andrew Cobb of Denver. May said campus ministers and counseling center staff were at Haymaker and neighboring Moore Hall Friday to talk to other students. Additional counseling will be offered Saturday and Sunday, she said. "Our first priority is our students," said Pat Bosco, dean of student life and associate vice president for institutional advancement. "We are deeply saddened that one of our K-State family has taken his life. We are very concerned about Drew's family and friends, and about how they are handling this crisis. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Drew's family at this difficult time." NATION Budget details on tap Democrats wary of cuts WASHINGTON — With President Bush preparing to release the point-by-point details of how his $1.96 trillion budget CLEVELAND Bush: preparing to release details of his $1.96 billion budget would rein in government spending, Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that Bush will not hesitate to veto spending bills he considers excessive. Democrats, still celebrating an initial victory in trimming Bush's tax cut, awaited Monday's release ¢ the full budget so they could see which government programs were targeted for deep reductions. They said that people who wanted a tax cut will be shocked when they see what Bush has done to programs such as Medicare, health care and defense. They said opposition to those proposed cuts will help as they seek to hold the line on the administration's $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax cut. Bush administration officials said Sunday a quick resolution was crucial to avoid further straining U.S. - China relations. In Bush's first major defeat, the Senate last week voted to reduce the tax cut by one-quarter, to $1.2 trillion, an action that must now be reconciled with a House resolution endorsing the president's original request. U.S. firm with China, no apology forthcoming WASHINGTON — As the standoff over the detained crew of a downed American spy plane entered its second week, top Continued delay in sending the 24 Americans homes could have repercussions on Capitol Hill, said members of Congress, citing a possible trade fight later this year and an upcoming decision on U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan. The administration refused again to apologize for the collision between a Chinese fighter jet and the U.S. plane, which was forced to make an emergency landing on an island in southern China. The Chinese jet and its pilot are missing. Over the weekend, the Chinese military took a tough stance on who was to blame. Secretary of State Colin Powell said the United States was "sorry" about the pilot's fate as he used a word the administration has generally avoided. But he emphasized the United States should not and will not apologize for the collision of the planes. Both Powell, Vice President Dick Cheney and the president's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, said an extended standoff threatened to make it harder to repair relations between the two countries. Legislators try to save Graves' education plan TOPEAK — News of a $185 million hole in the state's budget caused the Statehouse school finance debate to shift like winds on the Kansas prairie. Hours after sending a two-year, $263 million plan for improving elementary and secondary education back to committee, senators learned that the state's revenue outlook for the next 15 months is bleak. Senators are looking for a way to hold on to the $68 million Gov. Bill Graves recommended in January and perhaps find a few dollars more. "The needs haven't changed at all," said Sen. Christine Downey, D-Newton. "I'm not willing to come down much." In the wake of last week's debate, the committee pared back its package and its price tag, consulting with Graves on what he sees as key elements of a plan he supports. Graves has proposed a oneyear, $112 million plan that would have raised sales and motor fuels taxes. Combined with his original recommendations, Graves would put $178 million of new money in education, raising the base state aid per pupil to $3,930 from $3,820. The Senate education plan would increase funding for teacher salaries and raise the base aid by $240 over two years. However, members of the education group took several ideas off the table Friday, including the proposed tax on soft drinks and any plan to impose additional state or local property taxes. The Associated Press By Andrew Davies writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Libraries' collections could go online Students doing research may have an easier time finding information they need if a University of Kansas project works as planned. Officials hope the initiative will provide better information to campus, said Beth Warner, director of the KU Digital Library Initiatives Program. The project, known as the Digital Library Initiative, would provide faculty and students Internet access to University library collections by digitizing some materials. "The first priority is to make information more easily available to faculty, staff and students here at KU," she said. The project also could provide more access to holdings of University libraries, such as the Kansas Collection in the Spencer Research Library, to people across the world through the Internet. "There's a lot of collections that we don't have in electronic format that could be more broadly available if they were in digital format," said Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services. "One of the things that is happening right now is that a number of students and faculty are now conducting research, but there's no unifying tool anybody can go to." - Edited by Doug Pacey ON THE RECORD A 20-year-old KU student reported being harassed by phone in her McCollim Hall room between 10 p.m. March 30 and 9:30 p.m. April 1, the KU Public Safety Office said.

By Sarah Warren writer @kansan.com Kansas staff writer Ignoring the threat of rain, a tornado watch and brisk 20-mile-per-hour winds, about 75 people attended the Homeless Sleepout Friday night at Burcham Park, at Second and Indiana streets. More than 20 people spent the night in the park, huddling in sleeping bags to guard from wind and debris. The third annual event, part of the Center for Community Outreach's Into the Streets Week, raised about $700 for Jubilee Cafe, 1011 Vermont St. said Melissa Cline, Wichita senior and one of the event's organizers. Cline said the event was planned not only to raise money, but also to make students aware of the plight of the homeless. "The point was to bring people who were homeless together with students and to exchange experiences." Cline said. "As students, we can be very removed from the community, so one of the major ideas was to let students know that homelessness is something that is zooning on in our community." Participants began arriving at 8 p.m. to listen to several speakers, including homeless people and those involved in organizations aimed at helping the homeless. Nora Bielat, Chicago junior, said that the Sleepout was the first fundraiser she had attended for the homeless and that she was very removed from the issues of homelessness in Lawrence. She was especially concerned when she learned that Lawrence didn't have a permanent homeless shelter. "It made me sad that our city is pretty economically stable but we can't have a year-long shelter." Bielat said. "Some politicians around town don't want one because they think it'll be a magnet," for homeless people from other areas, she said. "But if it does become one, it shouldn't matter as long as it helps people." Julie Merz, St. Louis senior, said the idea that a permanent shelter might attract too many homeless people wasn't the only concern in the fight for a shelter. "Part of the issue is where you will locate it, and part of it is that people don't want to admit that there's a problem with homelessness in their own community," Merz said. "The idea She said the push for a shelter would be a major step in changing the way Lawrence deals with its homeless. "A lot of the talk was about the cracks in the system and about how we can fix the cracks so people don't fall through them," Merz said. Peter Gogol, Cranston, R.I., freshman, said that he was interested in getting involved with opening a shelter after listening to the speakers and spending all night in the park. However, he said that the words of the homeless affected him the most when he went home to his residence hall. "Going home and thinking that these people don't have a place to go," Gogol said. "That's when it really got to me." Bielat said the event made her more grateful for the little things. "Students complain about the size of their dorm rooms," she said. "But now I'm really thankful to have a bed and a roof over my head." Edited by Sydney Wallace Service award to remember Shyra McGee By Cassio Funtado writer @kanans.com Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas will remember Shyra McGee in a different way starting next year. Graham said the award in McGee's name would recognize students who tried to impact the lives of those around them. McGee, a former student senator and resident assistant who was killed in a car accident in February, will be remembered every year at the Black Faculty and Staff Council awards ceremony when a student receives an award in her name. Maryemma Graham, professor of English, who organized Saturday's ceremony, said the award would be given to "an outstanding student who shares the beliefs Shyra had." This year's eighth annual ceremony recognized African-American students, faculty and staff at a banquet Saturday at the Kansas Union. Florence Boldridge, director of diversity programs at the School of Engineering, won a Hobart Jackson Award for her service to African-American students. Graham said the ceremony tried to focus on issues that particularly affect the African-American community. Eight KU students each received $500 for their contributions to the University and the African-American community. "I felt very good in being bestowed that honor," she said. Boldridge said she favored an award in McGee's name. "Shewasaveryactivestudentoncampus," Boldridge said. "She will not be forgotten."

Sellards Scholarship Hall resident and public relations coordinator for the All Scholarship Hall Council, said that only one street light lit the KU parking lot at 12th and Louisiana streets and that residents in her hall were afraid to walk home from the lot. Sellards developed a buddy system for its residents so they would not have to walk from their cars through poorly lit streets. Hill said the hall posted a list of residents who were Hill, Hutchinson senior, said that many scholarship hall residents parked on city streets or in the parking lot at 12th and Louisiana streets because they could not find nighttime parking in the parking lots near their scholarship halls. Hill said the problem of poor lighting was made worse because the scholarship hall parking lots are usually full. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that the Campus Safety Board had approved funding for an emergency phone with a blue light in the parking lot so that if a student was attacked the police could be contacted. "It just makes us all feel more comfortable," Hill said. Stoner said that the University leased the one street light at the parking lot from the city. Alisia Ellingson, Denton, Neb., junior and president of Douthart Scholarship Hall, said that Douthart didn't keep a formal list of willing walkers, but she said it was understood that women could call their roommates when they didn't want to walk alone. Ellingson said that women in Douthart worried most about the walk between 12th and 13th streets along Louisiana Street because the street was unlit, was lined on both sides with bushes and had narrow sidewalks. "I personally feel safer walking in the street." Ellington "We can't put any lights in the lot because it's not on the University's electrical grid," Stoner said. "We'd like to have a much better-lit street." Alisia Ellingson Denton, Neb., junior and president of Douth Scholarship hall said. "We'd like to have a much better-lit street." Ellingson said that because the street was owned by the city, scholarship hall residents couldn't go to the University to ask for street lights on that street. Joe Bickford, 946 Ohio St.. said that residents of the Oread neighborhood had been concerned with the lack of lighting along Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Louisiana streets and that improved street lighting was included in the neighborhood's wish list to the city. "There are definitely some dark areas that are a concern to people," Bickford said. "The city has made some small steps toward improving." Bickford said that the 1000 block of Ohio was well lit from lights around Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall, but that further south, toward the scholarship halls, there was almost no lighting. - Edited by Doug Pacey Robots to battle for students' final grades By Andrew Davies Kansan staff writer The students designed their Six teams—made up of 31 students who have been working on the robots since the fall — will enter their robots in a competition, which will be held at 12:30 p.m. in 1016 Learned Hall. Kansan staff writer The students, part of an engineering design class, will hold a competition to see who designed the best robot. A group of engineering students will see the payoff of two semesters of work Tuesday. The competition will determine which robot, without being controlled by team members, can put the most pingong balls into goals. Orange and white pingpong balls will be used in the competition. Orange balls will be placed in one goal and white balls in another. Arvin Agah, assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science, said the competition would take place in an 8-by-6-foot arena. The robot that scores the most goals will win. robots, which could have a maximum height of 18 inches, from scratch, using materials ranging from wood to metal and aluminum, Agah said. The computer program is sent to Handyboard by a small processor. Handyboard then controls the decisions of the robot, said Micah Catlin, Salina junior. Aagh said the emphasis of the project was to design robots that could tell the difference between the colors of the balls. He said students wrote programs to build the robots and used Handyboard, a design program, to connect motors and sensors to the robots. Michael Turvey, Lawrence senior, said his group designed a round-shaped robot. He said the team, which initially designed the robot out of Legos, decided to use plexglass and plastic with Lego motors to complete the robot, which has two front sides instead of a front and back Turvey said he was satisfied with the outcome of his robot. "For the most part, I'm really happy how it turned out," he said. "This idea is to make sure people have fun taking the final exam." The winning team receives a $500 Arvin Agah assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science The competition, which is worth 20 percent of the students' final grades, is meant to be a more exciting way of taking a final. Agah said. prize, which will be divided equally among team members. "The idea is to make sure people have fun taking the final exam," he said. Catlin, who estimated that his group had put in more than 1,000 hours this semester, said that although the project had been stressful at times, he had enjoyed doing it more than taking a traditional final exam. The public can watch the competition, but space is limited. "It's definitely the best way to do it," he said. —Edited by Melinda Weaver WWW.THEBIKESHOPLARRYVILLE.COM Why surf the web,when you can cycle it?

Every year, the Kansan publishes columns about how Student Senate is filled with a bunch of resume-building people. People ask, "Why should I vote? What does Student Senate do for me?" and "What is Student Senate?" Well, I hope this column can clear some things up and convince you to vote Wednesday and Thursday. Contrary to popular belief, I can assure you that Student Senate is not filled with résumé builders. Although many organizations have their share of bad apples (including Student Senate), in my three years on Senate, the majority of people I have known care about one thing: making the University of Kansas a better place for students. For comments, contact Chris Borniger or Nathan Willis at 864-4924 or opinion@kansan.com 1 Despite what coalition senators ran with, that is the mission of the majority of people I have known during my tenure. Having said that, good luck to VOICE, Delta Force and all independent candidates running for Senate. I'm sure that most of you have the same mission as those who have been on Senate before you. Marlon Marshall columnist opinionkasan.com bad on Student Senate, but still, why should I vote? What do you all do for me?" A popular belief is that Student Senate does nothing, that all we do is sit in the room and argue with ourselves. That couldn't be further from the truth. Consider some services that Student Senate has brought to students. So, hopefully, now you are thinking, "Alright Marlon, you have me convinced. Not everyone is Ever performed community service? If not, you should visit the wonderful Center for Community Outreach, which Senate started in 1990. I hope you all had a chance to participate in last week's Into the Streets week Ever been on a KU on Wheels bus? Ever called SafeRide late at night? Not many people know that KU on Wheels and SafeRide are services provided by Student Senate. KU on Wheels is the only student-run bus system in the nation. Ever used a blue phone late at night? Student Senate provides the blue phones and most lights on campus. Next year, the University will have a Fall Break. Fall Break was initiated in Student Senate. Ever needed legal advice? Legal Services for Students, located at the Burge Union, is a service provided to you by Student Senate. Heard about the new course repeat policy? If it passes through University governance later this month, next year, students will be able to retake a course that they received a failing grade in. This initiative started in Student Senate. Need to take a class credit/no credit? Last year, students could only choose that option during the third and fourth weeks of the semester. Student Senate initiated the change to make it during the fifth and sixth weeks of the semester so students would have more time to get a feel for what their classes would be like. Ever been to the Multicultural Resource Center? If not, you should definitely stop by. It is located behind the Military Science building. Student Senate created the Center as a place where students could go to learn more about diversity. Have children while in school? Student Senate created Hilltop Child Development Center, which is now located at its new site next to Stoffer Place. Ever worked out? Within the next couple of years, a new recreation center will be built south of Watkins Health Center. This was a Student Senate initiative. These are just a few of Student Senate's many projects and initiatives. I know that Student Senate is not perfect and has its faults, but I also know that people on Senate work hard for students. So now you are probably saying "Marlon, I see where you are coming from. But really, why are you telling me all this?" Well, in my last few days in office, I've realized something — I care. I care about what goes on at this University, and so do the majority of people in Student Senate. I hope that now you will care and vote Wednesday and Thursday.

John Trever/TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES Kansan.com poll Last week's question: Should government money allocated through Medicaid help pay for the abortion drug RU-486? Only to woven the most care of financial circumstances — 8 percent Yes — 20 percent No — 44 percent Yes. Few states allow Medicaid dollars to finance abortions, but they should. No. I don't want taxpayer money paying for abortions — period. The money should only help pay for RU- 486 prescriptions to women in the most dire of financial circumstances. - The money should only pay for prescriptions when the mother's life is endangered. Next week's question: In any election, how much would a candidate's background affect you vote? Log on to www.kansan.com to cast your vote. This poll is not scientific. Numbers do not add up to 100 percent because of rounding. Total votes: 224 Perspective Journalists' backgrounds less vital than candidates' Background checks of Student Senate candidates were published today in the Kansan. One candidate has a charge of urinating or defecating in public. There is at least one minor in possession charge and a couple of fake ID charges. Nothing too major. The first charge seems the most bizarre, but then again, when you've gotta go, you've gotta go. No candidate has a record of theft, child molestation or murder. So the question might be posed, why did the Kansan publish the backgrounds at all? We do it because they are political candidates, said Mindle Miller, Kansan managing editor. Penelope "But the reason we publish everything all the time is to set a precedent," she said. "If there's a more serious charge next year and we publish it, people will wonder why we didn't publish background The Kansan is not the only newspaper that checks backgrounds. Most reputable news sources do so as well — even if they only publish the "big" charges. Lori O'Toole, Kansan editor, said the Kansan published everything because what's big is "relative." "That just proves that, to some people, a DUI is a big deal," she said. Leita Schultes readers' representative readerserve.kansasan.com checks the previous year." She pointed to President George W. Bush, whose DUI from several years ago resurfaced in last year's presidential campaigns. Still, the publishing of background checks has caused some students to take action. J. D. Jenkins, Shawne senior and president of a new group named Truth in Reporting, said if the Kansan published background checks on Student Senate candidates, his group would publish background checks on Kansan staff members. Jenkins had no problem with background checks, but said minor violations should not be published. "People's employers were seeing this, and people's parents were seeing this," he told the Kansan for a March 28 story. But I'll also say that no one cares. The records of Student Senate candidates — and all people running for public office — are important because those people have the power to decide public policy. Here at the Kansan, we have the power to influence public opinion, but that's about the extent of it. We don't have a real "vote," and if we've disregarded the law in the past, at least we won't be the ones making laws in the future To Jenkins, I say go ahead — check up on the Kansan's staff. It's public record, and the Kansan is not one to hide information. Don't get the wrong idea. Most journalists — including those at the Kansan — have nothing against media watchdogs. But J.D. Jenkins' attempt is misguided. Don't look at staff records. Think of it this way. Most people know — and some people care — that George W. Bush has, on at least one occasion, followed his drinking with driving. Few people know — and even fewer care — whether the editor of the New York Times has a similar record. Instead, look at a newspaper's parent company, or who it's affiliated with. Examine a paper's political leanings. Notice who its major advertisers are, and whether it publishes stories that put that business in a favorable light And if you don't want to disappoint your mom, don’t break the law. Editorial Department can help boost fan attendance Support for the men's basketball team in San Antonio was lackluster. Schultes is a Rolfe, Iowa, sophomore in journalism and religious studies. Last week, the men's college basketball season ended. Kansas coach Roy Williams and his staff will spend the next few months thinking about how they can better recruit, practice or coach to return to the Final Four for the first time in nearly a decade. But the Athletics Department needs to do some critical thinking as well. Fans have always been a big part of Kansas' men's basketball success; helping them attend the team's biggest games of the season could help the department raise some much-needed money. NCAA tournament success earns a lot of cash. Last year, Missouri made $85,000 despite losing in the first round, and Michigan State estimated that reaching the Final Four in 1999 brought in $1.28 million. Despite this incentive, the department is not doing all it can. It needs to help the fans help the Hawks. Many will travel anywhere to watch the Jayhawks play — including San Antonio, where Kansas lost to Illinois March 23. And yet the Alamodome often seemed more like the home court of the Illini than the Jayhawks. The Illini fans all wore the same color and filled the arena with booming cheers and songs. Illinois had only been to two Sweet Sixteens in sixteen years, but the team knew what to do when it got there. Kansas, which has been to nine Sweet Sixteens, could learn some things from them. In San Antonio, fans had to pay $5 each to attend a pep rally — something the department should finance, not the people who traveled several hours just to support the team. The department also should consider asking the Kansas Alumni Association to help organize group trips to boost fan attendance. The department also should publicize the ticket lottery more and hold a sale of all unallocated student tickets on Selection Sunday. Another option would be to let groups that camp out for every conference game apply for tournament tickets. The basketball team's performance proves that if the department hopes for the team to succeed in tournament play, helping put supporters in the seats should be its first priority.

I just decided to vote for VOICE. 图 --- IF VOICE really wants a student on City Commission, they should have mobilized the vote for last Tuesday's City Commission election because it only takes 4,000 people to get a city commissioner. If United Students has nothing to do with the VOICE coalition, then why was Marlon Marshall attending a meeting for the VOICE coalition at Corbin Hall? Oh my. Scandal. I don't think that Delta Force should be spitting pickets at people at parties. --- For the person who made the KKKU comment, I'm sorry you feel that way.

Why is everyone so offended by comments printed in the Kansan? Those people really offend me. I definitely think that Drew Gooden should go pro. At least he could get paid to play for a team that doesn't live up to expectations. Yeah, I'd like to lodge a complaint with God. This weather sucks.

First, he states, "M marriage... has remained the most stable infrastructure in society for thousands of years." Besides being broad and vague, this statement is ludicrous. What society has survived thousands of years thanks to marriage? If he's talking about America, aren't there laws and institutions that contribute to the stability of society more than marriage? Oh, let's see, the Bill of Rights? Lang states, "The liberalization of America has stretched special rights to more and more nontraditionalists in the name of tolerance." "Special rights" or just "rights?" Would the extension of "special" rights to such "nontraditionalists" as Blacks, women or nonland-owning males be viewed with equal disdain? Lang does show a glimpse of his compassionate conservatism in granting that homosexuals have a "right to exist," so may be gayes and lesbians should count themselves lucky before that right is revoked. Lang says that homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to be legally married and that because homosexuals have no legal union, they shouldn't be given the same rights as those who do, completing the homophobic circle. The argument that it's impossible to define "partner" isn't even intelligent enough to call specious. What if certain people had once said, "This whole emancipation thing is tricky, so let's scrap it"? If Lang can come up with the legal problems in defining who is a come up with solutions. Here's a stab: "Partner is defined as a person who has lived with another for two or more years in a nonbigamist or nonpolygamist relationship." This would include homosexuals and heterosexuals without resorting to the volatile mixing of religion and state to define partner. But Lang isn't burdened by this silly notion of separation of church and state, lapsing into a Judeo-Christian (this may be doing most Jews and Christians a disservice) justification for not recognizing homosexual couples as legitimate. He states that "marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman and is a full expression of God's plan for a loving family unit." I'm glad Lang has divined the will of God because in my years as a religious studies major, I have yet to figure out God's mind. Larg argues that homosexual relationships are illegitimate because they are unable to bear children. This one is too easy. This argument makes illegitimate any relationship in which a couple can't bear children, whether due to infertility, old age, anything. Lang finishes by saying, "The laws defining marriage have sustained our nation since its beginning and should remain unchanged." I would argue that the laws protecting free speech, personal freedom, equal rights and the flexibility of the Constitution and government to institute change are what have sustained our nation. I would hope they could withstand the incorporation of homosexual unions without society crashing down. It is the ossification of ideas such as Lang's that will make the infrastructure brittle enough to crumble. Frank Dorsey Lawrence junior With Senate elections just around the corner, I believe it is time to take a good look at what the problems of Senate and the so-called democratic voice we have at the University of Kansas are. The first thing I would like point out was the problem I had with the statement VOICE presidential candidate Jessica Bankston made recently, "Delta Force let you down. VOICE produces results." This was regarding minority recruitment and retention. My question is: What results has VOICE produced? If it is a new coalition, as it claims to be, it can have produce no results, as they have not yet been elected yet. If this is true, then if Delta Force has produced one result, which I can guarantee it has, it has already outperformed VOICE by 100 percent. If Ms. Bankston is claiming the results of coalitions that VOICE may be linked to, then as she says, "If you're going to take credit for the sunshine, you have to take credit for the rain," such as election violations those coalitions had. Either way, it appears VOICE is misleading us. My next issue is that of Senate accountability and accessibility to the students, who it is supposed to represent. I have voted every year I have been here, yet could not tell you who the Senators are representing me. Is this partly my fault for not educating myself? Partly, but Senate has not exactly gone out of its way to solve this problem. Justin Mills, senator and Delta Force presidential candidate, has twice introduced legislation that would make senators not only more accountable but also more accessible to the student population. Twice it was voted down. This is part of the reason every year there is such a small voter turnout — no one knows what is going on in Senate and feels no connection to those supposedly representing them. Good representatives are supposed to do that. U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore shows up on campus to talk to a very small part of his constituency, traveling a long distance to so. It would take much less for senators to hear student concerns, as they are on campus more. Possibly the worst problem is that the votes of the students appear to have little power behind them. Two years ago, a referendum was on the ballot on whether to build a new recreation center, using students' money, on ground not owned by the University. It passed by approximately a 2-to-1 margin. Even so, Chancellor Robert Hemenway stalled the idea. This showed that the so-called democratic voice on campus really did not exist. When Kyle Browning, senator and Delta Force vice-presidential candidate, said "we need to get away from Topeka," he was right. We need to have our representatives in Student Senate working here on campus, lobbying Chancellor Hemenway for our voices to be heard. In science, delta means change; we should try that this election for our voices to be heard. Tarek Al-Baghal Leavenworth senior Battery of women is not a joke I am writing regarding Monday's article in Hilltopics, "Woman beaten with ugly stick." I understand the intent was to be humorous, but I am dismayed to think that it was considered appropriate to make a parody of a problem of such serious magnitude. stalked (National Institute of Justice), 308,000 women are rape (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) and 1.8 million to 4 million women are abused by their partners (National Violence Against Women Prevention Research Center). Why do we continue to see a proliferation of cases involving violence against women? The causes are complex and multifaceted, but attitudes that condone and trivialize this behavior play a major role. Violence against women is no laughing matter. I hope that in the future, the Kansan will be used as a forum to educate rather than to promote harmful stereotypes and misinformation. According to recent national statistics, each year 1.4 million women are Kathy Rose-Mockry program director, Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center Laura Montgomery sexual assault prevention and education program coordinator, Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center Lisa Koch program coordinator, Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center GTAs need undergrads' support Almost everyone has had one. They do work and teach classes that no one else wants to, and they contribute to the success of the University. They are graduate teaching assistants, and they need our help. GTAs and their union, GTAC, are in negotiations with the University for a new contract. Many may think that this only affects graduate students. However, every student at the University, both undergraduate and graduate, is ultimately affected by the results of these negotiations. GTAs teach a wide variety of classes encompassing every major. Chances are, before you leave the University, you will have a class taught by a GTA. The University employs nearly 1,000 teaching assistants. KUGTAs are paid half of what GTAs make at other major universities. As a result, some GTAs who wish to stay at the University are forced to leave for purely economic reasons. The people who teach our classes should be financially secure. They put in long hours planning, grading and teaching. However, the University is not supporting them. There are some things everyone at the University can do: Simply supporting the GTAs is a first step. Let them know that you think they are doing a good job and deserve adequate pay for their services. Tell them you know they are vital to the operation of the University. GTAs should know that the rest of the University is behind them. Second, Delta Force, a coalition of students running for Student Senate, has recently announced as part of its platform its support for GTAs during negotiations. Justin Mills and Kyle Browning, Delta Force candidates for student body president and vice president, have both pledged to support GTAs if they win. This is the first time a coalition has had a graduate issue in its platform. In essence, supporting Delta Force supports GTAs. Third, tell your friends. It is very likely that you and your friends' quality of education will be affected by the results of these negotiations. Just spread the word about the situation. Informing people about what GTAs are going through is critical. Also, GTAs are encouraged to join GTAC. Its goal is to help all GTAs on campus, but to do this, it needs the support of the GTAs.

It is important that GTAs know they have the support of the University. I hope this will pressure the administration to provide GTAs with a fair contract because we could not get by without them. ion will take note if it realizes that both undergraduate and graduate students support GTAs. "We students can't begin to imagine what it's like to be homeless" ("Helping homeless people means care, not cardboard," Tuesday). True. In fact, many students do not know homelessness exists in Lawrence. This is why events such as Friday's Homeless Sleepout are crucial. Travis Weller Garden City freshman Delta Force candidate for a Nunemaker Student Senate seat Sleeooutfosters understandino The Homeless Sleepout was an educational as well as a fund-raising event. We encouraged students to acknowledge and educate themselves about homelessness. Members from the homeless community shared their experiences. Volunteers helped students learn how they can serve the homeless community. And money raised will go to Jubilee Cafe, the free breakfast restaurant that has served thousands of meals to in-need community members for the last six years. Homelessness is neither a joke nor something to be mocked. Education is crucial to addressing the issue of homelessness in a society that fails so many of its members. co-director, Center for Community Outreach Clav Center senior Homeless sleepouts respectful I was saddened by Ben Tatar's opinion piece titled "Hiding homeless people means care, not cardboard" on Tuesday. He was upset that students seemed to be imbacing or impersonating homeless people by "sleeping out." The purposes of Alpha Phi Alpha's sleepout and the Center for Community Outreach's sleepout are to raise awareness as well as money. Tatar stated that his giving packages on Christmas Eve in Chicago had a direct effect and didn't offend. I have to say that I was offended by his giving away "leftover food" and "items that we could do without." Tatar should know that at the CCO sleepout, KU students sleep with the homeless people, spend an evening talking and sharing a meal with them. If these homeless people are offended, I have never heard them say so. When the Alpha Phi Alpha members presented a check for $400 to the Jubilee Cafe, everyone at the Cafe that morning applauded and cheered. Raising $400 buys 400 meals at the Cafe, and this is a "direct effect." Many of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity members told me what a humbling experience it was to sleep out with no means of support. To me, that is far from mocking, impersonating and imitating homeless people. They now know what it is like to be homeless, if only for a night. They will never look at a homeless person the same way again. As one of the founders and directors of the Jubilee Cafe, I want people to know homeless people by name, hear their stories and treat them with dignity and respect. I see no disrespect in sleeping out with the homeless, even if it's only for one night. The Rev. Joe Alford director, Jubilee Cafe In his column Monday ("Moral absolutes point to presence of superior being"), Matt Cox offers proof of the existence of a god based on the tenuous assumption that moral absolutes exist. Unfortunately, a proof based on an assumption is not convincing. Moral absolutes don't exist Cox believes that certain actions are unquestionably and universally wrong, regardless of any social constructions. He offers two examples: killing another person and raping a young child. For a moral to be absolute, it must apply in all circumstances. Yet killing people is widely accepted in many situations. Our own state kills people who are thought to have committed unforgivable acts, sometimes killing innocent people in the process. This "eye-for-anye" approach to punishment is based on supposedly Christian principles. Many societies practice capital punishment for crimes ranging from petty theft to multiple homicide, and some even kill people for being homosexual; others do not permit capital punishment for any reason. Some societies believe it is wrong to kill any form of life, while others throughout history have practiced human sacrifice. This array of relative morals does not even touch on the most accepted form of killing, war. Wars are based on the idea that it is OK to kill people under certain circumstances, often historically for reasons of religion and faith. Even religions that teach that the worst sin of all is to kill do not handle their morals in an absolute way. Even the raping of a young child has not been universally regarded as an atrocity. Some cultures in history have accepted and even encouraged similar behaviors. Some cultures today continue to allow such actions or fail to enforce laws that forbid it. Sean Ringey Clearwater junior Cox asks how social construction can dig that deeply. His very arguments are based on the social constructions in which he was raised. These ideas are so deeply ingrained in us that almost no one, including Matt and myself, can tell where we got these morals. It is easy to mistake them for absolutes with which we are all born, but if one were to look beyond our Western culture and the Judeo-Christian ethic, it would become evident that nothing is absolute. Candidates shouldn't hide past As a candidate for Student Senate and a senator, I have to agree wholeheartedly with Chris Bormiger's response to Truth in Reporting ("Kansan" duties demand Senate background checks."March 29). Although I occasionally find J. D. Jenkins' vigilance appropriate, this time he is merely protecting a few scared candidates from their true records. Although my background check will reveal no hidden secrets, I find no fault with the Kansan's effort. As an advocate of informed voting, I think KU students should have access to as much information as possible about their potential representatives. I am further alarmed that Jenkins intends to protect others behind his threat. By not revealing the membership of Truth in Reporting, Jenkins takes another step in secrecy from the voters. Why is Jenkins willing to be seen on the Kansan's front page promoting such a voter-unfriended organization? One simple answer: He's not a candidate. Instead, he hopes to shield others from retaliation at the If students truly want to represent their peers in Senate, why hide from their pasts? I have never known a voter to discount a qualified candidate on the basis of a minor offense, and I doubt that this year will be different. If Jenkins' cohorts in Truth in Reporting are so eager to play an active role in student government, why not take credit for their stand against the Kansan? Wayne Hannick All Scholarship Hall Council Senator Delta Force Student Senate candidate Wichita junior Kansan owes apology to BSU On March 12, two representatives from the Black Student Union came to the Journalism 101 class to present their side of a conflict with the Kansan. Readers' representative Leita Schultes also attended to explain the Kansan's position. First, I wasn't aware of the protest of the Kansan by the BSU and supporters. I vaguely remember reading the story, about their Big 12 Conference, but as one of the BSU reps pointed out, often people read the beginning of an article rather than the whole thing. I'm guilty because I read about the fight and went on with my life. I vividly remember the first word of the headline, though,"fight." One BSU demand is mandatory diversity training for the diversity reporter. The current reporter admitted that he had little experience with cultures other than his own. How accurate can coverage be with little to no understanding of the issues? Schultes pointed out that the majority of the Kansan staff is Caucasian. Another demand is an apology printed in the Kansan. Schultes thought this would be a precedent, stating that the media would be apologizing to everyone because people often aren't happy with coverage of their issues. This needs to be put in perspective. Both demands are perfectly reasonable and would lead to greater understanding and reparation for harm. The Kansan is a microcosm of the larger media picture. Minorities are sorely under-represented in mass media, from owners to reporters. They are often mentioned in reference to crime, poverty or struggles they face in society. Instead of glossing over their issues using buzz words, these issues need to be examined in the context of everyone — what it means to live in a society where minorities are seriously disenfranchised. Minorities are oppressed by many factors; the media should not be one. I hope those who determined the headline and focus of the story are reconsidering their decisions. Some people might read about the fight and think the rest of the story is boring. Others might not be able to make the leap from talking about a fight to talking about a serious organization and its great effort because the two had nothing to do with each other. It seems there may have been an error in judgment when organizing this story. That's OK, but it's also OK to admit it. Harm was done to this organization because it was slighted in the public eye. It was the Kansan's responsibility to explore the issues raised by the BSU and explain its purpose and achievements. The Kansan can rest assured that it has other options to satisfy sensationalist tendencies. What we need from is thoughtful dialogue about serious community issues.

The chalking read, "Vultures Over Important College Elections," "Vote: Omega Iota Chpsilon," "Victims of Interesting Childhood Experiences" and "Vexatious Organization Idealizing Crooked Establishments." Hunter Harris,VOICE vice-presidential candidate wouldn't go so far as to say Delta Force was to blame. However, he said he. However, he said he thought whoever chalked the messages could have a vested interest in the elections. Kyle Browning, Delta Force vice presidential candidate, said he checked with all candidates in his coalition and was positive that none of them ALLEGED VIOLATIONS - Delta Force filed a campaign violation againstVOICE, alleging that the coalition put up campaign signs at Mastercraft Apartments before getting permission from the management.

"We are going to chalk, but it's going to all be pro-Delta Force, not anti-VOICE." he said. were to blame. Browning said negative chalking angered him, too. Jessica Bankston,VOICE presidential candidate,said she didn't think voters would give the messages any weight. "I don't think anybody takes that stuff seriously," she said. "Obviously, whoever wrote that doesn't know most of our candidates." Bankston said VOICE wouldn't file a campaign violation against Delta Force unless new information surfaced. "I can't even begin to guess who would do that," she said. "I don't think they're going to come forward, though." Dustin Johnson, elections commissioner, said he would look into the matter regardless of whether a campaign violation was filed. Also last week, Delta Force filed a campaign violation against VOICE, alleging that the coalition didn't get permission before signs were put up at Mastercraft Apartments. Johnson could not comment extensively because the investigation was still underway, but he said the elections commission had received conflicting information from the two coalitions. Justin Mills, Delta Force presidential candidate, said the matter started when a Delta Force candidate spotted the yard sign at her apartment. Mills said she called the management, and they said VOICE did not have permission to put the sign up. Mills said he had received a call from Harris the next day. He said Harris told him the owners were family friends and that was how he got permission to put the sign up. Harris said he personally called and received permission from the owners. "Since I'm from Lawrence, I have relationships with people in the town," he said. "I'm sure if Delta Force had called earlier, the owners would have let them put up signs, too." — Edited by Jay Pilgren The University Daily Kansan conducted background checks on all Student Senate candidates.

The Kansan ran the results of background checks on Student Senate candidates today. And the spotlight may turn on the Kansan, as a campus group known as Truth in Reporting, led by J.D. Jenkins, outgoing Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, plans to initiate its own background checks on Kansan staff members. But with a few dollars and some investigative know-how, curiosity about anyone's wrongdoing can be satisfied. Ron Pei, Wilmette, Ill., sophomore, tried to see what he could find out about himself when he was at the courthouse two weeks ago. "I saw the computer and thought I'd better make sure nothing was on there about me," Pei said. "I've never even had a speeding ticket, and nothing showed up. I looked up my brother and a couple of my roommates, but all I found was my brother's two speeding tickets." "I think a background check is way too nosy, but I'm OK with the computers," Pei said. "I mean, I probably wouldn't find anything absolutely terrible about anyone I know, but it's strange that you can tr." Pei said he had never considered paying to run a background check on someone, but the free public computer terminals were too much to resist. Incident reports about the previous day's campus crimes are public record and can be found in a plastic bin near the entrance of the KU Public Safety Office, 302 Carruth-O'Leary Hall. Only the front page of the report is public record. That page includes the incident's location, date and time, as well as the name, address, phone number and employer of the first victim. But what's available one day won't be there the next day, said Liz Phillips, assistant director of the public safety office. "Arrest reports won't sit there beyond 24 hours," Phillips said. "It's a law that in the state of Kansas, people have an arraignment within 24 hours of their arrest. So the police records are then judicial records." But students can request a conviction record — which lists crimes for which a person has been convicted — at the front desk of the public safety office. The clerk's desk at the Lawrence Police Department, 111 E. 11th St., maintains a clipboard of the front pages of incident reports from the previous day, said Sgt. Mike Pattrick. Additional pages, which may include information about other victims and a police officer's narration of the incident, can be obtained for a $5 fee. No information about suspects is made public, Pattrick said. "Lengthy reports cost 25 cents per page beyond a certain amount of pages." Patrick said. "But most accident reports are usually about three pages, so the $5 covers it." Five dollars also would cover expenses for many records in the district court clerk's office, just a short indoor walk downstairs from the police department. A public computer terminal is located next to the office door for people who want to people search electronically, said Debbie White records clerk. But many records aren't public information. Adoption records, personal information about public employees, some criminal investigation records, search warrants, expunged criminal records, many juvenile records and all grand jury proceedings are sealed from the public eye. "Our files go back to about July 1992," White said. "It won't tell you anyone's date of birth or social security number, but you can find just about anything." Senate ensures first election announcement in Union is last — Edited by Courtney Craigmile By Brooke Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The first year that Student Senate election results will be announced in the Kansas Union likely will be the last because of a bill passed by Student Senate last week. The bill stated that announcements of the winners would be made on KJHK 90.7 FM and that the elections commission could not impose a location for announcements unless it was agreed upon by all participants. The bill will take effect next year. Dustin Johnson, elections commissioner, said he didn't agree with the bill. location of its choosing in future years. "It's good and well if these candidates don't want to come," he said. "Have your fun, but to me it crosses the line when you deny others that opportunity." Johnson said he hadn't received any negative feedback from candidates regarding the Union festivities. He said he could understand why they wouldn't be coming, but he thought it was unfair that the commission couldn't announce winners at a Presidential and vice-presidential candidates from Delta Force and the VOICE coalition have decided to attend their own election parties instead. Jessica Lucas, who is running with the VOICE coalition for a liberal arts and sciences seat, voted for the bill. She is also a current Nunemaker senator, representing freshman and sophomores. She said she thought the tradition of announcing results over KJHK should be kept. "Announcing the result is great, but it's unrealistic to use it to hope." she said. Robin Anderson, who is running for a Nunemaker seat with Delta Force, said she thought the elections commission should be able to announce results at its own party. "I think it would take some of the spirit away if they just heard the results over the radio," Anderson said. The announcement will be made about 10 p.m. Thursday at the English Room in the Union. — Edited by Jason McKee and Mike Dalgety Candidates hope to jumpstart minority recruitment efforts Continued from page 1A which some people view as reverse-discrimination. But the problem doesn't reside in just one demographic, he said. Minority students, who "tend to congregate together," also need to be educated about the importance of diversity. "I don't want my little brother to come to KU and feel isolated," Mills said. Though both coalitions lack specifics on their goals for recruitment and retention, Mills said he would work to establish more four-year scholarships for minority freshman and he would push for the Office of Admissions to hire more than one minority recruiter. "They can only do so much with the resources they have." Mills said. While Mills said Claudia Mercado, the University's sole minority recruiter, was doing an excellent job, she is also a graduate student, and he would like to have a full-time recruiter. "Admissions is a lot of times on the defensive rather than the offensive." Mills said. "We want to work with them, not against them." Bankston said her coalition's focus would be to facilitate the establishment of the commission on the status of minorities because it would be a permanent evaluation group. She would also use Senate's resources to aid the Office of Admissions with diversity programs. The key, she said, would be to watch out for over-programming. While some programs have proven popular; like the Office of Multicultural Affairs' HAWK Link, some smaller initiatives don't generate much response. Bankston said it was important to research each program and determine if it effectively reached a large enough audience. - Edited by Melinda Weaver Happy Sweet 16 Laura! You finally made it!!

Pick up or delivery all day tuesday --- Monday, April 9, 2001 The University Daily Kansan Section A · Page 7 Students get glimpse of African culture Cuisine, music, dance part of Pride of Africa By Julie Carter Special to the Kansan The African Students Association offered a glimpse of African culture to University of Kansas students and faculty Saturday night. Pride of Africa, an evening of authentic African cuisine, music and dance, was held at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread. The program was sponsored to promote awareness of African culture and to raise money for Feed My Lamb, an organization created to help children in African war zones. "This is a good cause," said Yibuna Lainka Joino, president of the African Students Association. "Feed My Lamb pays for the children to come to America and get treatment they can't get in Africa." A moment of silence and a candlelight vigil were held for children who have died in Africa. The evening started with a meal consisting of African foods, including jelofee rice, deje, fufu corn, barbecued fish and boiled plantain. Sara Ectichon. Holyrood freshman, said she went to try the food and learn about African cultures. "I am also interested in mission ary work and thought this would be interesting," she said. African clothing was also featured in a fashion show. Members of the student association brought the clothing from Africa or had it shipped to them from family members still living in Africa. Casual and special occasion attire were showcased. Adrienne Rivers, association faculty adviser and associate professor of journalism, said members worked hard to make the program a success. "A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this program," she said. Members of the African Student Association also read poetry, danced and presented a traditional Haitian drum performance. The association formed last August with the goal of educating Lawrence residents and students about Africa and dispelling many negative myths about the continent. "Many people think Africa is full of poverty and disease." Lainjo said. "There is some of that, but we have societies like ours here in America also." Other goals of the association are to help new African students become familiar with the University and the surrounding community, to offer support and to provide activities. The group's membership is open to anyone. "The journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step," member Franklin Tallah said. "This is our first step." — Edited by Melinda Weaver Yibonka Lainio, Bamenda, Cameroon junior and African Student Association president, left, and Raqeabat Abaniwondo, Lagos, Nigeria sophomore, sample the mixed vegetable rice, just one of over fifteen different dishes offered at Saturday night's festival in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building. Photo by Aaron Showalter/KANSAN AIRWAYS INDUSTRIES School of Fine Arts showcases student, faculty performers Bv Michelle Ward Kansan staff writer Dressed in his Sunday best, Tim Swindoll awaited his performance with other members of the University Band. The 70-person ensemble, dressed in tuxedos and formal gowns, helped showcase performers in the School of Fine Arts yesterday afternoon. Students and faculty made their debut in the University's first School of Fine Arts Collage Concert at the Lied Center. Artists performed everything from jazz to dance numbers along with visual presentations of art and design from the 180 participants. "For people that can't come to every concert, it's good they get a chance to hear all the groups perform," said Swindoll, a baritone saxophone player and McPherson sophomore. "Some of the groups I haven't heard of. It's good to give them a chance." The idea for the diverse showcase came after a conversation Toni-Marie Montgomery, dean of fine arts, heard at a concert earlier this year. The couple behind her was discussing how the school wasn't visible and didn't do a whole lot. They continued to blast Montgomery's school by asking one another why it wasn't nationally recognized. Montgomery said she decided not to turn around and make a scene. Instead, she decided to strut her department's stuff in a performance highlighting students and faculty. Organizer Tim Oliver, director of the Marching Jayhawks, said the event showed off many aspects of the fine arts school at the same time. The art and design departments had their turn with a slide show while the music and dance department delivered a performances ranging from woodwinds to vocal ensembles. Jay Batzner, an information specialist in the school, composed an original work for the concert with a technology theme. The music technologies specialist combined computer-generated sounds with flute and cello. The newest piece added a percussion part with greater convenience, Batzner said. The computer can change pace and sound quickly without any effort. It provided Dancers perform a ballet excerpt from Igor Stravinsky's "Chacun a Son Gout" at the first annual School of Fine Arts Collage Concert Sunday. Photo by Eric M. Hedinger/KANSAN a framework upon which musicians could build, he said. "It produces sounds you normally can't get or are very difficult to produce," he said. Beau Hancock danced with three female classmates in a modern dance written and choreographed by two of his professors. The group had worked since spring break. Although nervous, Hancock said he hoped the group's performance would send a message. "Even within the University, we don't get a lot of respect," the Hugoton freshman said. "A way for us to get respect is to showcase our talents." Montgomery pointed out in her opening remarks that the University ranks among the elite nationally in fine arts. The Master of Music degree is ranked 26th out of 600 programs while the Master of Fine Arts is 35th of 300 schools, according to rankings announced last week by U.S. News and World Report. — Edited by Sydney Wallace Center's new director envisions excellence By Sarah Smarsh By Sarah Smarsh writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer The Lied Center has named a new executive director. Tim Van Leer, currently the executive director of El Camino College Center for the Arts in Torrance, Calif., accepted the position last week and will begin work July 1. Van Leer said he was drawn to the Lied Center's national prominence. He also said one of the center's strengths was in its collaborative relationship with the Lawrence community. Van Leer said he hoped to "meet the challenge of maintaining the tradition of excellence the Lied Center is known for." He said his nearly 30 years of experience as a presenter of the arts — mostly on college campuses — would enhance his capabilities. Before his work in California, Van Leer served as director of the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg, Fla., and Mershon Auditorium at Ohio State University. He was also assistant director of the Gammage Center for the Performing Arts and the University Activity Center at Arizona State University. Van Leer said he hoped students appreciated the unique place the Lied Center held in the community. "For everyone, including students, the arts are part of our culture that improves our lives," he said. "There's a great deal to be learned and shared with artists and performers." Toni-Marie Montgomery, dean of fine arts, chaired the selection committee, which began its search in September. Montgomery said Van Leer stood out with his "wealth of experience" and national reputation among art presenters. She said his qualifications indicated an ability to serve the Lied Center by garnering quality performance acts and by continuing good relationships with other area arts presenters. Montgomery said Van Leer would pay special attention to the student community. During the application process — which included a meeting with students — he offered ideas on offering a voice to the student body in selecting performers. "Involving the student community is a focus in the future of the Lied Center," she said. Van Leer has served as president of the Association of Performing Arts Presenters, California Presenters, Ohio Presenters and Ohio Dance. He lives in Torrance with his wife, Jerryse. They have two children — Jack, who works for the Fox television network in Los Angeles, and Jill, a senior at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif. The search for a new director came after Jacqueline Davis announced her resignation last spring. Fred Pawlicki will continue to serve as interim director until Van Leer begins July 1. - Edited by Leita Schultes Your term paper is due at 9 a.m. It’s 3 a.m. The library’s closed.

A home-cooked meal from Mom. A hug from a friend. Everyone has a different idea of what brings them comfort and makes them feel at home. For international students and children of immigrants, speaking their native language at a university and in a country where English dominates is one way to find a connec- examples is one way to form a connection to their own cultures. For Jacinta Mendoza, a Wichita junior with Mexican Immigrant parents, striking the balance between two worlds unites always soon. "At first I spoke very little English—more Spanglish than anything," she said. "It was really hard. I felt like people were always criticizing me." Her parents are professionals and fluent in both English and Spanish—her mother spoke English before immigrating and her father learned English in the United States. But Mendoza said she, like thousands of other immigrants and their children, has had to learn how to maneuver through an English-speaking society while holding onto her cultural roots. "At home, we always speak Spanish," she said. "They just felt it would keep us closer to our culture growing up." At school she speaks English, but Mendoza said it had become second nature to switch back and forth between the two languages. For her, Spanish has evolved from a negative thing that brought tears to a source of personal pride. "I remember my teacher saying, 'She's stupid; she can't speak English,' Mendoza said. "Now, thinking back, I think she was stupid because she didn't realize my capability of being bilingual. It's definitely a positive thing." And the connection to her roots that speaking Spanish helps maintain is something that Mendoza said she wanted to pass along to her future family. "Idefinitely don't want to say that I'm prejudiced, because I've dated people that didn't have Latin backgrounds, but I do prefer marry someone who is Latino," she said. "I feel it's been an important thing in my life and I want to have my kids be able to say that it's important to them, too. We are still minority in the U.S. and we should be proud of who we are." But Felix Moos, a professor of anthropology who left Germany in 1950, said immigrants and international students had to be willing to learn English if they wanted to succeed in the job. "We're so anxious to have diversity that we don't want a melting pot where everyone is uniform and the same. People are maintaining those cultural differences and benefiting from that variability. There are a lot of people hopeful that many of the traditions coming in will remain strong and keep that uniqueness." Allan Hanson professor of anthropology United States. Raed Al-Bibissi, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, sophomore, is not an immigrant. When he finishes his degree at the University, he will head back to his home country. For him, taking advantage of his limited time in the United States and improving his English skills are priorities. "It seems that everything depends on the mastery of English," Moos said. "The force of speaking English, thinking in English, hearing English is pretty powerful. It becomes very difficult to speak another language at home and sometimes alienates children from parents because the parents have a lower rate of learning English." "I don't really get tired of speaking English, but it's easier to speak Arabic because I'm not perfect in English," he said. "There are some things I want to say but can't. Even though I know English pretty good, I want to practice more and more and get better and better, but sometimes it's kind of hard." Al-Bilbissi said the diversity of the University actually caused him to speak more English. He said he only spoke Arabic when he was with Arabic-speaking students. "When I'm speaking Arabic, it makes me feel like I have friends from Arabic countries and I feel supported," he said. "I feel the opposite of being homesick because I have people to talk to." Rosie Lopez, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, spoke Spanish out of necessity growing up in a household where her parents, who moved to the United States from Michoacan, Mexico, spoke little English. "It was not easy, but it wasn't that hard," Lopez said. "You just had to adapt to two cultures—one English and one Spanish." Although Lopez said Although Lopez said she spoke the two languages about equally now, using "whatever comes naturally," she said if she had to pick between the two, she'd choose Spanish. "That's what I grew up with, and it would be hard to give it up," Lopez said. The abstract ideas of language and culture have changed in American society during the last century, especially with regard to immigrants, said Allan Hanson, professor of anthropology. "Certainly the traditional understanding is that first generation immigrants and their immediate children strive to assimilate, and as they learn English, they let the native language go." Hanson said. "The first generation born here, then the second and third generations have a wistful nostalgia for their cultural heritage and try to resuscitate the language or some elements of their cultural heritage. That's certainly the story of 19th century immigration." But Hanson said he wasn't sure whether the old idea of "what the first generation wants to forget, the second generation wants to remember" held true with the current immigration wave. "We're so anxious to have diversity that we don't want a melting pot where everyone is uniform and the same," he said. "People are maintaining those cultural differences and benefiting from that variability. There are a lot of people hopeful that many of the traditions coming in will remain strong and keep that uniqueness." Moos added that although a cultural imperative for speaking English existed in the United States, he thought the nation was moving toward greater acceptance of immigrants. "Of course, I'm a Caucasian, Protestant male, so maybe the racism back then didn't hit me as much." Moos said. "Even today, there is some prejudice of native speakers of English that everyone should sound like them, but increasingly I think there is greater tolerance because we have a much more multicultural environment." As the United States continues to develop its multicultural environment, more and more people will turn to language as a way to find comfort in their roots. Lopez balances the two, but can't imagine life without Spanish. "I guess it's just what you grow up with. I just what you grow up with. I wouldn't be able to talk to my parents, which is very important," she said. "It's just part of our tradition and culture." — Edited By Leila Studios --- 1.

Yesterday's victory was Kansas' first win After losing its first two games of the weekend to extend its losing streak to 10 games, the Kansas baseball team finally tasted victory yesterday. since defeating Southwest Missouri State 11-4 on March 21. Junior Doug Lantz threw a complete game and earned his second win of the season in the Kansas win. Lantz scattered two runs and eight hits, while striking out eight Aggie batters. "Pitching there was a lot of fun." Lantz KU said. "I know a lot of people at A&M, and most of them came out to the game. It was very special." Lantz: threw a complete game to earn second win Kansas jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning when sophomore Kevin Wheeler singled in sophomore Jason Appuhn, and senior Jesse Gremminger scored on an error. The Aggies rallied with one run in both the third and fifth innings. The Jayhawks grabbed back the lead in top of the seventh on senior John Nelson's solo home run over the wall in left-center field. Appuhn then reached base on an error, and junior Ryan Kloksenis followed with a two-run blast to left. Nelson said he wasn't necessarily thinking about putting Kansas in the lead before hitting his fourth home run of the season. "I went up here just trying to start a rally," Nelson said. "When you get the leadoff guy on base, it makes a rally so much easier. I was looking fastball, and that's what he threw." "Those strikeouts really saved us," Randall said. "They were one big hit from being in the game, but Doug came up with the strikeouts. He had a lot of big strike-outs today." Texas A&M started the weekend off See BASEBALL on page 3B Softball team drops two to Texas Tech By Brent Briggeman sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The Kansas softball team traveled to Texas Tech this weekend. Apparently, the team's bats stayed at home. Although she wasn't pleased with the offensive performance, Kansas coach Tracy Bunge showed more concern with the team's defense. She pointed specifically to the fifth inning of the first game. The Jayhawks managed only three runs in the two games, dropping the first game 5-3 Saturday and losing in a shutout yesterday 1-0. The losses dropped Kansas to 20-19 on the season (4-4 in the Big 12 Conference), while Tech improved to 27-15 overall and 5-3 in the Big 12. Kansas committed three errors in the inning, blowing a three-run lead in surrendering five unearned runs. "Today was a continuation of some problems that we have been having of late." Bunge said. "We played well defensively other than the one inning, but one inning kills you." Senior right fielder Erin Garvey, who returned to the lineup after missing two games last week because of illness, was disappointed with the team's inability to hold a lead. "We should have shut the door," Garvey said. "We let them come back after we scored, and they took advantage of our mistakes." Kansas made two more errors in the second game, but neither directly led to a run. Of the six runs the 'Hawks surrendered in the two games, only two were earned. Ultimately, it was Kansas' inability to score runs that cost the team the series and its third-place standing in the conference. A big part of that was Texas Tech pitcher Amanda Renfro. The senior hurler went the distance in both games, holding the Jayhawks to 14 combined hits and striking out nine. Renfro has a 0.64 ERA in nine career outings against Kansas. The best opportunity for Kansas to get on the scoreboard came in the fifth inning. The 'Hawks had opportunities to score in the second game. The team collected eight hits and drew two walks but failed to bring anyone around the bases; nine Kansas baserunners were stranded in the game. Kansas sophomore Kirsten Milhoan was the hard-luck loser in both games. The El Paso Community College transfer now stands at 6-9 on the season. Kansas has only one day off before returning to the diamond Tuesday with a twin bill at Wichita State. They return to conference action next weekend as Baylor comes to Lawrence for a two-game weekend series. The Jayhawks started with a double by Kansas left fielder Christi Musser. Renfro responded by retiring Leah Tabb and Shelly Musser. Megan Urquhart made the final out of the inning, bouncing into a fielder's choice after a two-out walk to Garvey.

Partridge, the bowling team's only senior, will lead the Jayhawks into the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships on April 18-22. By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan writerspiriter The Jayhawks, heavy underdogs heading into the sectional qualifier, blistered the competition. Kansas scored 12,537 points, nearly 200 more than second place finisher Wichita State. The bowlers rolled through competition at the Intercollegiate Bowling Midwest sectional qualifier March 24 and 25 in North Kansas City and earned a spot in the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships April 18-22 in Grand Rapids, Mich. The Kansas men's bowling team might be the University's last shot at a national championship this year. "We had a very solid tournament," said coach Mike Fine. It was quite an achievement in a tournament that pitted six of the nation's top 18 teams against each other. "The way they separated out, it was a very difficult section and it made "We were very consistent," Fine said. "We communicated well as a team. We held it together mentally when it became very challenging." The victory, however improbable it seemed, didn't catch Fine or any of the Kansas bowlers off-guard. our victory all the sweeter." Fine said. "We weren't necessarily surprised because we felt like everyone on the team was throwing the ball real well," Fine said. "I think we certainly surprised some of the other teams that didn't expect that we would do as well as we did." Fine said the Jayhawks, ranked 18th, did it with teamwork. Fine hopes the same thing happens at the national tournament, which will be scored using the Baker format, the same format that was used at the sectional qualifier. Five bowlers from each team bowl two frames each and those scores are combined into one team score. "I think we have a very good chance," Fine said. "The format favors our style of bowling. We feel because of the way we communicate and the philosophy of our program, it tends to make us very successful in the Baker program." Although many teams focus on individual bowlers, the Kansas bowling team emphasizes team play. "For one thing, we bowl together a lot," Partridge said. "We know each other's game and as the lane conditions change, I know my teammates well enough to convey how they're going to move or what kind of ball changes they need to make. Also, we like each other a lot." Fine said that format benefited Kansas. Senior Tom Partridge said the team's cohesiveness will help out at the championships. Partridge said the key for the Jayhawks is maintaining their composure. "We need to stay calm," he said. "We're going to have the best of seven matches and they are really intense." — Edited by Jay Pillaren Edited by Jay Pilgreen Sports Columnist As far as funerals go, the Kansas men's tennis team had a simple one yesterday. Sports Columnist Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com ael gg Little fanfare at final home tennis match "It's sad," said junior Rodrigo Echagaray, an engaging and talented tennis player from Juarez, Mexico. "But I'm sick of being sad. I just want to stop thinking about it." Sure, there were solemn faces and there was the proverbial "sorry we're ruining your lives" banquet that the athletics department threw the Jayhawks afterwards, but there was no large crowd, only one member of the media and very little looking back. When freshman Andrew Metzler finished his match at around 2 p.m., the Jayhawks simply walked off the courts at Alvamar Racquet Club and looked forward to a four-match road trip from which they will never return. Budget woes, coupled with the heavy weight of Title IX, led to the axing of the program — along with men's swimming — after this season. It's a shame, too, because these players deserve more. So he'll stay here in Lawrence next year, go to class and graduate with degrees in sociology and political science. The last three years, in which Blakeney played some of the best tennis of his life, are all for naught. For example, Quentin Blakeney, a bright, lanky right-hander who came all the way from Charlotte, N.C., to play for Kansas, knows his tennis career is winding down. For all his time and success in the sport of tennis, Blakeney just doesn't want to play for anybody else besides Kansas. Nebraska called him and offered him a scholarship. But instead, Blakeney will just wrap up his career. "Transferring would be a good idea if I wanted to turn pro out of college." Blakeney said. "But I have no interest in doing that." "I don't really want to talk about resentment," Stroer said. "But the fact is that it happened to us. I don't know if it was a budget issue or a Title IX issue, but I'm just trying to look towards the future." Just more than a month ago, athletics director Bob Frederick announced the cuts. In the last month, the Jayhawks have had to deal with their usual schedule, as well as decide what they'll be doing next year. I couldn't imagine what I'd do if I heard the news, "Kansas to drop School of Journalism next fall." In the tennis media guide, players were asked what was the best advice that they could give young children. The image of Art Modell trying to dodge the entire city of Cleveland after he announced the Browns were moving to Baltimore popped into my head There's also Pete Stroer, a Salina native who lurks over his competition at 6-foot-2. Stroer, who plans to transfer to Texas with Echagaray, said he's trying not to hate the athletics department for the slicing of his sport. "Do something because you enjoy doing it, not because someone forces you." Noticeably absent from the 50 or so people who were in attendance was Frederick, the man bearing most of the burden for the cuts. Apparently, he hasn't been at a match all season. Still, life goes on for the team. The Jayhawks still have a chance to make the NCAA Tournament if they do well in their next four matches on the road, and then compete well in the Big 12 Tournament. What did Blakeney say? We can only imagine what these players are going through. It's hard to think of a more ironic statement. And making the tennis version of the "Big Dance" would be gravy for this team. Because the Jayhawks deserve more than the sad send-off they received on a windy afternoon at Alvamar.

Your mission this year, if you choose to accept it, is to amass a small fortune. If you already have a small fortune, amass a big one. Your charms are dazzling in April, as you well know. Don't get distracted from your main theme, which is money. Learn the rules of the game in May. Learn the tricks of the trade in June. Get support from family in July. Let somebody love you in August, but don't overspend on romance. If you can stay focused until November, you'll make a bundle! Don't spend it all on travel in December, or on a good cause in February. The point is to retire rich, remember? One year of great success, and you can. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7. You may be feeling stressed financially. This doesn't necessarily mean you don't have enough; you may just want more — for toys. This is a perfectly good reason, so create a plan. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6. Don't let somebody else's lack of foresight send you into a tizzy. You don't need to develop an ulcer over something that isn't your fault. Even if it is your fault, relax. And call for help if you need it. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5. Get your friends to help you with a big project. Together, you'll have it done in no time at all. If you go out tonight to celebrate, don't stay out late. You don't want to make tomorrow even more difficult. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7. A dream may be out of reach, but love should be close at hand. You're getting the better part of the deal. Love close at hand is worth at least two or three dreams. Besides, with the former, you're more apt to get the latter. Or, come up with something nice that you can have right now. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6. You're rarin' to go, but you’re dragging an anchor. Distant horizons beckon, but there’s work to be done at home. You think you’re miserable now? Just imagine how you'll feel on Wednesday if the job isn't done by then. Hustle! Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6. If everybody would just leave you alone so that you could concentrate, you'd be fine. But, no, they have to bug you with their incessant questioning. Maybe you could get some peace and quiet if you locked yourself in the bathroom. It's worth a try. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. LBush (april 20, 2017) — today is a 6. You'd much rather spend the day in fantasy than reality, but that's not a good idea. You'll profit more by doing what's needed, even if you don't feel like it. How much self-discipline do you have? You're the only one who can answer that question — through deeds, not words. Scorpion (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. True, you're powerful. You may need every bit of power you can generate. The pace you've set is so intense, it would quickly wear out a lesser mortal. Even you may be pooped by the time this day is through. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6. You're a bold, out-front sort of person — most of the time. Right now, however, you'd be wise to hold back. Although you're anxious to proceed, odds are good you're overlooking something. Check your calculations one more time. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7. An idea you want to try not may go over big with the boss — at least not yet — so don't even talk about it while it's still in the formative stage. Make your presentation later, when you really know what you're talking about. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6. If you and your friends could hang out all day, doing whatever you felt like, you would be a happy camper. Yeah, camping. That would be perfect! But it’s unlikely to happen — not today, anyway. Console yourself with plans for the future. Wait a while, and go after the sun gets into Taurus. P Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7. True love awaits, but it's tantalizingly out of reach. Part of your problem could be that it's Monday, and you have to go to work. Don't pass up the chance tonight, even if you have to drive a ways to get there. + + LION C Dyer, Kinsey compete for quarterback start KANSAS FOOTBALL + Dyer and Mario Kinsey did some good and bad things in Saturday morning's 90-minute scrimmage at Memorial Stadium, coach Terry Allen said. With the spring game less than two weeks away, Zach Dyer sits at the top of the quarterback depth chart, but no decision on the starter has been made. Dyer got the starting nod in front of Kinsey. He put up steady numbers — 5-of-9 for 49 yards with one interception. But the interception cost the team more than just a turnover. Senior cornerback Andrew Davison was smothered on the return. The tackle resulted in a separated shoulder, an injury that will most likely sideline Davison for the rest of the spring. Allen said. LIBRARIES Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only. Senior Jason Stevenson, junior Byron Gasaway and freshman Tony Stubbs suffered minor ankle injuries Each player will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Kinsey was less accurate than Dyer on the day — 1-of-8 for 15 yards — but the nimble redshirt freshman saw several of his passes dropped and scrambled for 38 yards on six carries. His rushing numbers were second only to sophomore tailback Reggie Duncan, who rushed for a touch 46 yards on 14 carries. Sophomore linebacker Glenn Robinson made two stops behind the line of scrimmage and had one of the game's four sacks. Defensive lineman Brandon Lacey and linebackers Greg Cole and Charlie Dennis made the other three.

He also robbed college hockey fans in rinks throughout the East of one of their favorite taunts when Boston College is in town — "1949," the last time the Eagles won a national title before they beat North Dakota 3-2 Saturday night in overtime. "It'll be an unbelievable and quite a special feeling." Kolanos said. "Now everyone will just be quiet. And we'll be back to defend the championship next year." Kolanos slipped a shot past North Dakota goalie Karl Goehring 4:43 into overtime and gave the Eagles the NCAA title. His goal denied North Dakota back-to-back national championships and helped Boston College avoid what would have been a monumental collapse late in a tight-checking game the Eagles had otherwise seemed to control. Then the shark came. Up 2-0, the Eagles gave up two goals in the final 3:42, both after North Dakota had pulled Goehring for a sixth skater. The first score, from Tim Skarperud, came with Boston College a man down after a penalty for having too many men on the ice. If any team looked beaten after a tie in regulation, it was Boston College. The game-tying goal came with just 36 seconds left in regulation when Wes Dorey tipped in Aaron Schneekloth's slapshot from just inside the blue line. This loss would have come on top of so much other heartbreak for the Eagles. They lost the 1998 title game to Michigan in overtime, a 1999 semifinal game to eventual champion Maine in overtime and last year's championship game to North Dakota. 4-2. But Eagles coach Jerry York said Boston Bruins coach Mike Keenan spoke to the Eagles recently about mental toughness, something Keenan said was perfect for the demoralizing situation the Eagles found themselves in after regulation Saturday. Keenan related the story of the 1994 NHL playoffs when his former team, the Rangers, had just been tied in the last seconds by the Devils. Echoing Keenan's words, York said he told his Eagles: "Hey, no matter how bad you felt about what just happened, think about how good you're going to feel if you score the OT goal. I think our kids understood." Kolanos knifed in from Goehring's right and, warding off a North Dakota defender with his right hip, skated in front of the North Dakota goal to score. "I don't think there's another player on the ice that could have made that move," said North Dakota coach Dean Blais. "He's 6-foot-3 and he're辛苦 ... Karl went out and tried to poke-check it, but he got it into an open net. A great move." Kolanos said he practiced the move all the time and called it his "bread and butter." Boston College goalie Scott Clemmensen said he had seen Kolanos' move enough to know how effective it can be. "He does that move to me all the time in practice," he said. "I can't stand it. He's so patient with it." Boston College (33-8-2) had gone 0-4 in title games since winning the championship in only the second year of the NCAA plavoffs. North Dakota (29-8-9) was denied an eighth national title, and its streak of five straight victories in championship games since 1982 was broken. York coached Bowling Green to the NCAA title in 1984 in Lake Placid and became only the second man in history to coach two schools to the championship. Ned Harkness (Rensselaer) in 1954, Cornell in 1967 and 1970) was the other. "I should come more to New York for these closing fours," York said. 100 If you or someone you know suffers from bipolar depression, you may be eligible to participate in a research medication study.

Aggies pitcher Matt Farnum threw a complete-game shutout and struck out 10. Senior Pete Smart took the loss for the Jayhawks. The game was relatively close until the Aggies extended a two-run lead to eight runs. They scored four in the seventh and two in the eighth. Kansas had been held scoreless for 23 consecutive innings before scoring two runs in the sixth inning of Saturday's 5-2 defeat. Those two runs cut Texas A&M's lead to 3-2, but the Aggies added two insurance runs on Matt Alexander two-run home run in the seventh inning. "Saturday's game was a fantastic college baseball game for a better part of the contest," Randall said. "Pete was terrific through the first six innings, but in the seventh we fell apart defensively. That's when the game got away from us." Junior Justin Wilcher took the loss for Kansas, but Randall said Wilcher kept the Javahaws close. "Justin battled every step of the way," Randall said. "He worked out of some tough jams in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings and single-handedly kept us in the game."

The Jayhawks, in their final home match in program history, defeated Nebraska 5-2 yesterday at Alvamar Racquet Club. The victory was overshadowed by the emotion surrounding the final home match after the KANSAS TENNIS tennis history." he said. men's tennis team was discontinued by the Athletics Department March.4. Butcoach Ross Nwachukwu said the Jayhawks delivered with a rousing victory. "I'm proud of them for coming through with two wins this weekend," said Nwachukwu, referring to the win against Nebraska and a 4-3 victory against Colorado Saturday. "I never thought I'd be associated with the last two home tennis matches at the University of Kansas. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that. And I told the guys that they were writing the last two chapters of Kansas The match was indicative of the Jayhawks' performance in recent weeks. Since the announcement of its elimination, Kansas has played with a renewed vigor. The Jayhawks gained the upper hand early in the match against the Cornhuskers, winning the doubles point. In singles play, Kansas won four out of six matches. "The guys have handled this very well, and you can just tell by the way they're playing tennis," Nwachukwu said. "We got discontinued in the first part of March and we went out and nearly upset the No. 4 (Texas A&M) and No. 14 (Texas) teams in the country, losing 4-3 in both matches. "It says a lot about their courage, heart and pride. It is those intangibles which has helped them overcome adversity." Nwachukwu said. The Jayhawks' two wins improved their record to 13-8 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12 Conference, placing them in fourth place in the Big 12 standings. Junior Quentin Blakeeny came up big for the 'Hawks against Nebraska. Blakeeney and Pete Stroeer earned an 8-2 doubles victory against Kai Rieke and Fungai Tongoona.

He said the emotion surrounding the team's final home match boosted his desire to succeed. "I was motivated because it was like my Senior Day even though I'm only a junior," Blakeney said. "It was a tough singles match but I was able to come away with the win by changing my game a little because of the wind." Nwachukwu said he'll leave the University with positive memories. "It's been a real privilege to coach this team," Nwachukwu said. "What these guys have accomplished is extraordinary. The way that they have overcome the circumstances and adversity that faced them is outstanding. These guys could have said, 'I got recruited to represent KU and my team got discontinued. What's the use?' But my guys have not allowed this to stop us from achieving the goals that we've had since day one, and I'm proud of them for that." — Edited by Mike Dollary TENNIS RESULTS (#54) Kansas 5, Nebraska 2 Singles Singles 1.

Woods closed with a 68, as David When that 18-foot birdie putt disappeared into the hole. Woods raised both arms in triumph as the massive gallery roared its approval. Woods doffed his cap to cover his tears as he left the green and walked into the arms of his father, Earl, and his mother, Kultida With a heart-stopped at Augusta National punctuated with a birdie at the end, Tiger Woods claimed the greatest feat in modern golf yesterday by winning the Masters, giving him a clean sweep of the four professional majors in a span of 294 days. He had two chances to catch Woods, but looked on in shock as birdie puts from 12 feet on the 17th hole and five feet on the final hole Duval and Phil Mickelson failed to harness the magic that has carried Woods to five of the last six majors. Locked in a thrilling battle with histwochiefrivals, Woods hita daring approach from 149 yards into the perilous 11th hole. The ball grazed the cup for a tap-in birdle, giving Woods a lead that he never let go. Duval, believing this might be his year after three close calls, made it through Amen Corner without a mistake but took bogey on the parthree 16th hole, firing his tee shot over the green and missing an eight-foot putt for par. failed to fall. Mickelson, poised to claim his first major, also missed an eight-foot par putt on the 16th hole. He also failed to cash in on birdie putts on the final two holes. Woods never faltered. "I've succeeded in what I wanted to accomplish." Woods said as he sat in Butler's cabin waiting for last year's winner, Vijay Singh, to help him put on another green jacket. "I don't feel ecstatic yet. It hasn't sunk in." His lead remained at one stroke when he missed a three-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole, but he traded spectacular golf for solid play with history on the line and delivered, as he has done from the time he turned pro five short years ago. Let others debate whether Woods can claim a Grand Slam, which traditionally has meant winning four majors in a calendar year. Woods can simply take out his trophies from the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship—and claim a place in history that no professional has occupied. Not Jack Nicklaus, his idol, who missed his chance to hold the titles of all four majors in 1972. Not Arnold Palmer, who dreamed up the idea of a Grand Slam in 1960 but only got halfway there. The only Grand Slam in golf not up for debate is the one that belongs to Bobby Jones, who won the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, British Open and British Amateur in 1930. Fittingly, it was at the Masters tournament, created by Jones in 1934, that Woods finished his historic run. "It will probably go down as one of the top moments in our sport," Woods said. Asked whether it was a Grand Slam, Woods replied, "I don't think it's right for me to comment on that." Woods now has won six majors, as many as Nick Faldo and Lee Trevino and only one major behind the likes of Palmer, Sam Snead and Harry Vardon. And with his winning score of 16-under 272, Woods swept the majors with a combined score of 65-under par. It started with a runaway at Pebble Beach in the U.S. Open last June, and concluded with the biggest thriller of them all. He rallied against unheralded Bob May to win the PGA in a playoff, but the final game at the Masters featured one dramatic moment after another involving three of the best players in the world. All of them had their chances. Every putt could have turned the tide. Massive crowds watched breathlessly as it all unfolded. "Hes simply does what is required," Mickelson said. Duval finished with a 67, his fourth-straight year in contention at Augusta, and the first time he has ever been runner-up to Woods. Toshi Izawa had a 67 and tied for fourth at 278, the best finish ever by a Japanese player in the Masters. He was joined by Mark Calcavecchia, who had a 72.

Mark Quinn drove in a five runs and A.J. Hinch and Mike Sweeney had three RBIs apiece as the R o y a l s scored more runs yesterday than they had in the five previous games combined routing the Minnesota Twins 15-4. R Royals "It's just one day, but it was a good day of offense," said Royals manager Tony Muser. "When we're hitting balls the other way, things are going pretty good for us." Quinn had an RBI grounder in the third and an RBI double in the seventh before hitting a three-run homer in the eighth. While going 1-4 their first five games, the Royals had scored just 12 times. "We have way too many good hitters on this team to be slumping," said Quinn, who had been about the only regular not struggling at the plate. "When we all get together and get the rallies going, we're going to be unstoppable," Quinn said. "We've got a lot of talent on this team." Mac Suzuki (1-0), who lost all five decisions last September before undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder, held the Twins to three hits and one run through five innings, including a solo homer to David Ortiz. He struck out five and walked only one. The Royals had three singles, three walks and Hinch's three-run home in a seven-run third inning. After J.C. Romero (0-1) walked in a run, Joe Randa had an opposite-field two-run single and Quinn an RBI ground-out before Hinch greeted reliever Hector Carrasco with a three-run shot for an 8-0 lead. Romero allowed seven runs, five hits and four walks in 2/2 3 innings. In his last 10 starts, Romero is 0-7 with a 9.07 ERA. "This was not much of a ballgame," said Minnesota manager Tom Kelly. "Romero was just missing. I thought the Royals did an excellent job of hitting the ball up the middle and the opposite way." Cristian Guzman, who led the AL last year with 20 triples, tripled twice, giving him four in five games. He tripled in the eighth and scored on Luis Rivas' single. Jason Maxwell had an RBI single in the seventh for the Twins. Rovals notes - Minnesota first base coach Jerry White was ejected by ampire Drake after the first out of the game. White argued on a close play at first when Guzman made a headfirst slide but was called out. White was replaced by Paul Molitor. Carlos Febles' leadoff single was the first time this year the Royals' first batter in a game reached base. Romero fell to 0-3 lifetime against Kansas City while Suzuki went to 3-0 against Minnesota. - Maxwell's RBI single in the seventh was just the fourth run scored this year against the Royals' bullpen. Carlos Beltran had three hits for Kansas City. Yankee bats help beat Blue Jays NEW YORK — Jorge Posada crushed a curveball for one of those picture-perfect drives at Yankee The Associated Press stadium, the ball arcing four rows into the right-field upper deck for his first career slam. BLUEJAYS "I thought in my career I'd never get one," he said. "Even minor leagues, I don't think I ever had one." Posada's first-inning drive gave Roger Clemens a six-run lead, and the New York Yankees went on to rout the Toronto Blue Jays 16-5 yesterday. New York, which had lost two straight to the Blue Jays after opening with three wins against Kansas City, took a 12-10 lead in the third inning. Toronto had gotten just 10 outs by the time every Yankees starter scored. "Hitting is contagious," said Derek Jeter, who got his first two RBIs of the season. Tino Martinez was 3-for-4 with four RBIs, and Chuck Knoblauch had three hits for the Yankees. New York had 20 hits and stopped a six-game losing streak against the Blue Jays. "It's too early to think there's a payback," Posada said. "We're just trying to win." In winning the last three World Series titles, the Yankees haven't been the Bronx Bombers of old, instead relying on premier pitching and timely hitting. In 2000, Posada had a breakout year in his first season as a fulltime starter, hitting.287 with 28 homers, 66 RBIs and 107 walks, providing a reliable source of power. Yankees manager Joe Torre says the switch-hitting catcher is still getting better at age 29. Posada said he looked to his teammates and learned. "They don't just let down because the game is 15-0," he said. "They keep going and going." Although his numbers suggest he's a power hitter, Posada claims to be more of a "gap-to-gap guy." Posada's third homer provided Clemens with a lead the five-time Cy Young Award winner called "a luxury." Clemens (2-0) won for the 11th time in 13 decisions, holding Toronto to one hit in the first three innings. Up 12 runs, he lost his command and struggled through a five-run fourth before settling back down. Clemens, 18-10 against Toronto in his career, allowed eight hits in 62-3 innings with five strikeouts, raising his AL record to 3.514. He also got his 262nd career win. Steve Parris (0-2), hit hard last week by Tampa Bay, saw his ERA skyrocket from 9.00 to 16.88, getting ripped for seven runs — six earned — and eight hits in 1 1-3 innings. Kevin Beirne (18.00) and Lance Painter (17.18) did little better. "I thought I threw some good fastballs down, but they weren't biting," Parris said. "The breaking stuff was un, and it got hammered." David Justice drove in the first run with an infield single that hit Parris' backside and rolled toward third. Martinez singled in a run and Posada homered. Right fielder Raul Mondesi overran a ball in the second for an error, allowing another run to score. New York then scored five in the third off Beirne on Jeter's RBI single, Justice's bases-loaded walk and Martinez's double off the glove of left fielder Shannon Stewart, who had a tough play on a ball slicing toward the foul line. Cleveland rookie survives first start The Associated Press CLEVELAND — C.C. Sabathia was just two batters into his big league debut when he thought, "Uh oh, I'm not in Kinston anymore." Sabathia, who had never pitched in a game above the Double-A level before yesterday, lived up to the hype and overcame a shaky first inning as the Cleveland Indians rallied in a 4-3 victory against the Baltimore Orioles. Sabathia, 20, handled everyone in Baltimore's lineup except Jeff Conine and got a no-decision when the Indians rallied from a 3-0 deficit and won on Juan Gonzalez's two-run single in the seventh. "It's about what I expected," Sabathia said. "It's a big relief. Now I can just concentrate on pitching. It's old now. My next one is going to be a lot easier." But after giving up Conine's homer, the 6-foot-7, 260-pound Sabathia held the Orioles to just one hit during the next 5 1/3 scoreless innings and retired 16 of the last 18. "He's in the wrong business," said Baltimore starter Chuck McElroy. "He should be playing tackle somewhere. As long as he stays composed, he's going to be devastating. He was throwing 99 (mph) with no effort." Sabathia said Conine's shot did Sabatha admitted he peaked at the radar gun scoreboard in the first when he threw 28 straight fastballs. He gave up a one-out double to Mike Bordick and walked Delino DeShields before Conine hit a three-run homer — Baltimore's first this season Facing a weak-hitting Orioles squad batting just. 176 coming in, Sabathia allowed three runs and three hits in 5 2/3 innings, walked two and struck out three. n't rattle him as much as Bordick's double off the wall in right. And it was only then the unflappable lefty realized he was pitching to big-leaguers and not one of the Batavia Muckdogs. "I was 0-2, he took a pitch and then doubled off the wall." Sabathia said. "And I was like, God, dang. That was up and out." Sabathia's debut created quite a stir in Cleveland as most fans had only heard about the organization's No.1 draft pick in 1998. He didn't disappoint the Indians, who are rolling the dice that he's ready, or a Jacobs Field crowd of 40,754. "C.C. did exactly what we wanted him to do," Indians manager Charlie Manuel said. "He was probably cooler than I was." With the Indians trailing 3-2, Einar Diaz doubled to open the seventh off Calvin Maduro (0-1) and Omar Vizquel drew a one-out walk. With two outs, Willis Roberts came in to face Gonzalez, who lined his single. Orioles manager Mike Hargrove said he chose to pitch to Gonzalez instead of walking him to get to Burks, who had six of Cleveland's 19 hits in the series. "You pick your poison there," Hargrove said. "It's tough to do something with a 94 mph, but Gonzalez did. That's good hitting." As he walked to the Indians dugout from the bullpen, Sabathia got a warm ovation from the crowd. Then, on his way to the mound, he said he made eye contact with his mother, Margie, who was flown in from California by the Indians so she could see her son pitch. Tigers sweep White Sox in Chicago for the first time in a decade "When I looked into the stands and saw her, that was my proudest moment," Sabathia said. "She's always more nervous than I am. I could see it in her eyes this morning." The Associated Press CHICAGO — White Sox pitcher David Wells doesn't want to hear that he pitched well or that he didn't get enough run support. The Chicago White Sox lost, and that's all that mattered to Wells. should be enough." R "When it comes down to it, it's the pitching," he said after a 5-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers yesterday. "We can keep the other teams to two or three runs. That Wells gave up five runs and 11 hits in eight innings. Weaver gave up just five hits in seven scoreless innings, striking out three and walking two. In his last three starts against Chicago, the right-hander has a 1.23 ERA and has allowed only 12 hits. Deivi Cruz and Tony Clark drove in two runs apiece for the Tigers, who got their first three-game sweep at Comiskey Park since August 1991. And Jeff Weaver (1-1) continued his mastery of the team that drafted him in 1997 but never signed him. something. Every person can hit it." "I don't know about figuring them out. I just know you can't ever let up against this team." Weaver said. "Every pitch means After being held scoreless for eight innings, the White Sox finally did start to hit in the ninth. Tigers reliever Matt Anderson gave up three runs, but only one was earned. Chris Singleton and Royce Clayton hit RBI doubles and another run scored on an error. Todd Jones, pitching for the fourth-straight day, got two outs for his third save. "I called down there and told them," I can get an out or two," said Jones, who didn't even bring his glove to the bullpen. "I'm just thankful they gave me the ball. To sweep these guys is great. I'm just happy I could do my part." Part of the reason the White Sox acquired Wells (1-1) in the off season was for his defiant persona, a refuse-to-lose attitude that can lift an entire team. And the White Sox could have used a big lift yesterday, going winless since Wells' opening day victory in Cleveland. The defending AL Central champs are now three games below .500 for the first time since the end of the 1999 season, with Cleveland coming to town today. But Wells got into trouble with two-run innings in the fourth and sixth, and the White Sox didn't give him any run support. Chicago stranded 10, including runners in scoring position in the fifth and sixth innings. "A couple of their guys aren't swinging the bats that well right now, and we took advantage of it," Tigers manager Phil Garner said. Damion Easley got the Tigers' offense going with a leadoff double in the fourth, and Clark drove him home with a single. Cruz made it 2-0 with an RBI double that carried all the way to the fence in right field. Cruz tried to stretch the hit into a triple, but was thrown out on Jose Valentin's sweeping tag. Easley had another double to start the sixth, and Bobby Higginson drove him home with a double. Higginson tried to stretch his hit into a triple too, only to get thrown out just as Cruz did. Clark then singled, and Cruz lined an RBI double down the third base line just past a diving Valentin. The Tigers added another run in the eighth on Clark's sacrifice fly. "You get a couple of key hits, it has a tendency to build confidence on the team," said Easley, who finished three for four with three runs scored. "Anytime you play a ball club like the White Sox, you have to play good baseball, play sound baseball. "For us to come out on top all three games, it definitely boosts our confidence. At the same time, we have to keep it going." WAL★MART ALWAYS LOW PRICES. ALWAYS WAL-MART.

He proved it Sunday. Person allowed one run in seven innings and helped himself with a three-run double as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs, 3-1. "Person swings hard," said Phillies manager Larry Bowa. "He doesn't get cheated. If you ask him, he'll tell you he's a good hitter. After today, I guess he thinks he's real good." Person (1-0) allowed four hits, struck out five and walked two. He became the first Phillies pitcher to last through the sixth inning this season and the first starter to record a win. Philadelphia avoided getting swept by the Cubs at Veterans CUBS Stadium for the second-straight year. After sweeping a season-opening, three-game series against the Florida Marlins, the Phillies dropped the first two games to Chicago. "It was very important to get the win, especially with the circumstances of the last couple days," said Phillies pitcher Ricky Bottalico, who pitched a perfect eighth inning. Cubs pitcher Jon Lieber (0-1) allowed three runs and four hits in eight innings. He struck out six, walked two and hit one batter. Lieber retired the first 14 hitters before Travis Lee lined a two-out single to left field in the fifth. Pat Burrell followed with a single and David Newhan walked, loading the bases. Person, a.120 career hitter before the at-bat, then drilled a basesclearing double to the gap in leftcenter, giving the Phillies a 3-1 lead. "I'm really disappointed in myself," Lieber said. "There's two outs, nobody on, you're out to kill the inning right there." We've got "People don't understand I take hitting seriously. When I take batting practice, I try to work on certain things." Robert Person Philadelphia Phillies pitcher to make better pitches than that." Person had just three RBI in 125 career at-bats before the hit. "I'll probably walk around the clubhouse with a bat tomorrow," Person said. "It's fun. It's gravy. People don't understand I take hitting seriously. When I take batting practice, I try to work on certain things." Jose Mesa pitched the ninth and recorded his second save in three opportunities. He allowed a two-out single to Ricky Gutierrez but struck out Roosevelt Brown, ending the game. "Person threw great and Bottalico and Mesa were good, too," Bowa said. "It was real nice to get the win. You don't want to get sweet." Bill Mueller gave Chicago a 1-0 lead with his second homer in the first — a liner off the foul pole in right. Person walked Matt Stairs after the homer but retired 14 of the next 16 batters. Phillies manager Larry Bowa made 22 pitching changes in the first five games but kept Person in for seven innings and 104 pitches. "It seems we might not be allowed to give up four runs, that we're getting a quick hook, but that's understandable," Person said. "Our bullpen has pitched effectively." Chicago had won three straight after losing two in a row. The Cubs' victory Saturday put them above .500 for the first time since opening day 2000. "We didn't do a whole lot on offense," said Cubs manager Don Baylor. "You hate to waste a good pitching performance like that." Marlins hurler shines in victory MIAMI — Matt Clement is making a good impression on his new team. The Associated Press Clement allowed four hits in eight innings. for his first win with Florida, and the Marlins tied a club record with four home runs vester- MORRISVILLE FLORIDA 1964 day in a 6-1 victory against the Atlanta Braves. "That stuff he was featuring today was something else," said Florida manager John Boles. "It was like he was throwing a Wiffle Ball. This kid has got stuff. Nothing he throws is straight." Clement, obtained last month in a trade with San Diego, had eight strikeouts as the Marlins took two of three from the defending NL East champions. "My ball has movement on it," said Clement, who had a nodecision in his first start. "I know I can harness it. I've been improving on it for three years. There's a fine line, being a young pitcher." Cliff Floyd, Luis Castillo, Mike Redmond and Dave Berg gave Florida its first four-homer game since June 24 against the Cubs. In the nine years of the franchise, the Marlins have hit four home runs in a game 17 times. "Matt deserves all the credit today," said Redmond, the Marlins' catcher. "His ball was very lively. He's a challenge back there to catch." Atlanta's Tom Glavine (0-1) allowed five runs, six hits and three homers in five innings. "I thought Tommy was awfully good today." Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "He threw some good pitches. We just didn't hit for two straight days." In the first, Floyd hit a 408-foot homer into the center field stands, giving him three homers on the season and at least one RBI in all six games. The Marlins went up 2-0 in the third on Castillo's home run, just the fifth of his career. "I don't think I pitched any where near what the (box score) line indicates," Glavine said. "But that's not what matters. I've won other games when I didn't pitch well." Berg, Castillo and Redmond combined for three home runs last year. "It's unbelievable." Berg said. "Put odds on it in Vegas, and it's like one million to one." Berg hit a solo homer in the sixth off Joe Slusarski. Florida broke the game open with three runs in the fifth on Redmond's solo homer and a two-run double by Preston Wilson. Floyd also made a big play in the field, throwing Javy Lopez out at third after making a diving back-handed stab on Rico Brogna's line-drive single. Brian Jordan homered for Atlanta in the seventh. Cold doesn't hurt White Sox; Pedro Martinez gets first win The Associated Press BOSTON — The Tampa Bay Devil Rays couldn't do anything to Pedro Martinez, and neither could the weather. Fighting 42-degree temperatures and intermittent rain. PANIC RUP hitter and Tampa shortstop, lined a sharp single to center to lead off the sixth. a 3-0 victory against Tampa Bay in his first win of the season. "You just have to understand what's happening to your body," said Martinez (1-0), who recorded his first six outs on strikeouts and brought a no-hitter into the sixth. "It's different. But the cold weather is affecting the hitters, too." "He's the best pitcher in baseball," said Felix Martinez, who also had a bunt single in the eighth. "The weather didn't help." In his last start against Tampa Bay, on Aug. 29, Pedro Martinez came within three outs of a no-hitter and finished with a one-hitter. This time, he gave up three hits after holding the Devil Rays hitless until Felix Martinez, the No. 9 "He's from a warm-weather country and he's out there pitching in this weather. He doesn't figure that in," Boston manager Jimy Williams said. "He doesn't think that it's cold. It's just his day to pitch." Martinez allowed three hits and three walks overall. He also recorded six of his last seven outs on strikeouts before Derek Lowe, who earned losses in his two previous outings, pitched the ninth for his first save. Pedro Martinez, who's from the Dominican Republic, said his only adjustment was making sure he had warmed up enough before throwing the pitches that count. Sometimes when it's warm, he said, he throws only four warm-ups between innings; on Sunday, he would throw 10 or 12. "He's the best pitcher in baseball.The weather didn't help." Tampa Devil Rays shortstop Felix Martinez "It was nice to walk off the field for the right reason," Lowe said. Manny Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI, and Carl Everett doubled twice and drove in a run for Boston, which swept the three-game series. Albie Lopez (1-1) allowed three runs, six hits, five walks and a balk in seven innings, striking out six. Tampa Bay has lost five straight since beating Toronto in the season opener. Martinez, who has won the last two AL Cy Young Awards to go with one from the NL, did not earn a decision in his first start when Boston lost 2-1 in 11 innings. It was the 43rd time Martinez has struck out at least 10 for Boston and the 70th time in his career.

D4.09.0 I WONDER IF HELEN LIKES ME... OR IF ANYONE DOES FOR THAT MATTER. 04.09.01 Millionaire makes debut at theme park OR IF ANYONE DOES FOR THAT MATTER. ORLANDO, Fla. — Disney-MGM Studios is asking its visitors, "Who wants to be a millionaire?" Well, maybe not a millionaire. How about the owner of a baseball cap with the game show's logo? The Associated Press The Disney theme park is opening an interactive version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Saturday with 10 shows a day on a set that looks like the real one in New York. The game show, on Disney-owned ABC, has been a ratings juggernaut at the network. Although it has seen its audience decline by almost a third during the past year, it still holds three of the top 10 slots in prime time this season, said Marc Berman, an analyst for Media Week online. "To take something that wasn't launched that long ago and put it in a theme park is kind of a risk," Berman said. Disney officials are confident it will be a success. Despite the show's popularity, Berman says Disney is taking a chance by putting it in a theme park. Each seat in the studio has its own key pad from which participants can answer the Regis stand-in's questions. A computer tabulates which audience member answers the question the quickest and that person gets to go to the "hot seat," where the host poses another set of questions. "It continues to be a popular show," said Mike West, a senior producer at Walt Disney Imagineering, the company's creative arm. "Even if the TV show goes away, we feel we have a great attraction for our guests." Adding to the authenticity, the show's host, Regis Philbin, was on hand Friday for a media preview. An audience member with the quickest response can replace a person in the "hot seat" who misses an answer. A person who reaches $1 million points wins a trip to New York to watch a taping of the TV show. Unlike the show, there's no chance for winning big bucks here. The prizes are Millionaire baseball caps, CD-ROMs, pins and leather jackets. Instead of calling a friend or celebrity "lifeline" to get advice on a question, like contestants do on the show, participants at the attraction can call a randomly chosen person in the theme park. Phones are set up in two locations in the park and Disney workers will stop guests to ask them if they want to participate.

Jenkins hopes they don't forget to vote "yes" on this year's only referendum. "We wanted this to be on the referendum so that students could vote on it directly and send a positive response to the administration about this," Jenkins said. Jenkins, liberal arts and sciences senator, said student support was key to providing free legal services for students entangled in cases with the University. Now, the service can only advise students if they are involved in a case against the University. The administration didn't allow this until 1997. Before that bill was approved, University administrators had vetoed any bill that Senate passed regarding the expansion of services pertaining to University issues. The referen d u m would help in the fight to expand the jurisidiction that L e g a l Services for Students has in student c a s e s against the University. Students can use the service when involved in a case against t h e U niversity, but Jenkins introduced a bill to Senate that asked for an attorney from the service to a t t e n d University hearings on a academic misconduct, discrimination and student discipline. The proposed bill would also What happened: This week's Student Senate election ballot will include a referendum on whether Legal Services for Students attorneys should be allowed to represent students in hearings on academic misconduct, discrimination and student discipline. What it means: David Amble, vice chancellor for student affairs, rejected the change last month. Administrators in 1992 rejected a Student Senate bill that also would have allowed the policy change, but approved a measure in 1997 to allow Legal Services for Students only to advise students on legal matters involving the University. What's next: If approved, the referendum would not change the policy, but some student senators hope it will draw administrators' attention to the issue. Ambler said that if the referendum was popular he would take a look at a new bill but the likelihood of him changing his mind on the issue was slim. allow an attorney to make calls to University offices on behalf of a student. The bill passed the Senate, but was vetoed by David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs. "The more you make them legal, the less likely the University would make them as disciplinary," Ambler said, referring to the hearings. "I don't think students would want a fight between two roommates to end up in court." Jenkins said that the referendum wasn't binding with the University, but that it would show that not only was the Student Senate behind the expansion, but the entire student body was, too. Edited by Jay Pilgreen Jenkins said Student Senate's stance on expanding the service was intended to allow students to get their money's worth when dealing with the University. He said it upset him that students pay $6 in fees each semester for the service, but that it can't represent them in conflicts with the University. "I expect students will support it." Jenkins said. "They're already paying for the service, it would just expand what they are getting for their money." "I think the staff could be tied up serving a few students rather than helping as many as they do now with the things they normally help students with," Ambler said. "I am fearful that a referendum like this sounds good on the surface, but I don't think that students voting on this have had much of a chance to make an informed decision." However, Ambler urged students to think about the consequences of tying up the service's attorney. Commission seeks higher turnout Candy and stickers will be given away to voters at polls By Brooke Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Voting for the Student Senate elections starts tomorrow, and Dustin Johnson said there would be some perks for those who vote. Candy and "I voted" stickers will be passed out at voting sites. The elections commission considered giving out doughnuts at voting sites, raffling off prizes and hiring the mascot, Baby Jay. Johnson, the elections commissioner, said the commission decided against those ideas because it didn't want people to vote for the wrong reasons. "We decided against them because the goal isn't just to have everyone vote," he said. "You want them to have a real interest in the elections." More information For additional information on Student Senate elections See page 3A Last year, 3,600 students, or approximately 15 percent of the student body, voted in the elections. Johnson said it was a four-year low and 17 to 18 percent of the student body typically voted in elections. Johnson said he hoped at least 18 percent of students would vote. Johnson pledged that if 25 percent of students voted, he would jump in Potter Lake. He said he invited Delta Force and VOICE presidential and vice presidential candidates to do the same, but hadn't heard back from them. Brooks McConnell, Wichita freshman, said she wouldn't vote in tomorrow's elections. She said candidates approaching her outside of Wescoe Hall was a turn-off. "If I had read the articles about the candidates, then I would know more, and I might consider voting," McConnell said. Shanna Sisson, Hoisington sophomore, said she hadn't made up her mind whether she'd vote. She said she usually didn't mind candidates passing out pamphlets on campus and that she had read them, but none of the platform issues interested her. "If I heard anything like an issue that's really important to me and affects me, then I would consider voting." Sisson said. Jessica Bankston, VOICE presidential candidate, said it was important for students to vote because Senate spent their money. Kyle Browning, Delta Force vice presidential candidate, said Senate represented students' on a variety of boards in the University. Voting sites outside Haworth Hall, by the main entrance of Strong Hall, in front of Wescoe Hall and in Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall and Oliver Hall will be open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. tomorrow and Thursday. Voting sites on the second floor of the Burge Union, fourth floor of the Kansas Union and in Mrs. E's will remain open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. tomorrow and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday. Edited by Jason McKee Polling sites Polling sites for tomorrow's Student Senate elections will be in the following campus buildings: The second floor of the Burge Union 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The fourth-floor lobby of the Kansas Union 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The sidewalk outside Haworth Hall The main entrance of Strong Hall The front of Wescoe Hall 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mrs. F'e Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall 9 a.m. to Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Oliver Hall 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. VOTE Learning on the lawn Warm weather moves classes outdoors Instead of extra pencils and pens, students may want to pack a pair of sunglasses and suntan lotion. That's because students and teachers say the hot weather has made some classrooms unbearable. She said the heat inside makes it difficult to learn. "It's horrible inside," she said of Wescow Hall. "It's hard to pay attention when you're sweating profusely." Annie Pipes, Winfield freshman, said her math 101 class and French 120 class have gone outside to escape the heat of Strong and Wescoe halls. Wibke Wojanowski, a German department graduate teaching assistant, had class outside Friday and yesterday. She said having class outside put her behind, but she had to because it was too hot inside. "It's not manageable inside," she said. "Neither the instructor or the students can focus." Chris Souille Rigaut, a GTA for French 120, said he took his class outside because his students preferred to go outside to escape the heat of Wescoe. He said he would continue to take the class outside as long as his students staved focused on the class. Aaron Sauerwein, Newton senior, has classes that go outside and remain in the classroom. Sauerwein, in his fourth year at KU, said classrooms have always been warm and this year was no different. "Almost every building on campus is sweltering," he said. "The heat can be distracting." Still, Sauerwein said he tried to ignore the heat. "It's kind of a distraction, but I usually try to focus in on what I'm doing," he said. The air conditioners around campus are in the process of being turned on, said Doug Rlat, director of Facilities Operations. Riat said the department hoped to have the University completely air conditioned by the end of this week, but wasn't sure if the process would be complete. Air conditioners in the libraries and museums have already been turned on to preserve the collections, he said. Yesterday, the department worked on turning the air conditioners on for Stauffer-Flint, Wescoe and Malotl halls and the Dole Center. The department planned to work on Murphy and Learned halls today. Riat said. He said the University's air conditioners were not completely turned on yet because of the abrupt change in weather. "We didn't have a lot of time to get the system up and running," he said. Edited by Brenda Straw - Edited by Brandy Straw This week's forcast: Spring-like conditions continue until later in the week. Friday's forecast calls for rain and high of 55 and a low of 45 Death on K-State campus raises public attention By Livi Regenbaum writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Suicides are rare at KU, but awareness is essential Liza Pehrson did not want to live The pressures of freshman year at the University of Kansas were too much to handle. Pehrson, Chinook, Mont., junior, swallowed aspirin to try to end her problems — and her life. With situations like Pearson's, and the recent death of a Kansas State University student, Andrew Charles "Drew" Cobb, 19, suicide has been brought to the forefront. Cobb died from injuries he suffered after jumping from the eighth floor of Haymavir Residence Hall at K-State. The Center for Disease Control reported Kansas' 325 deaths by suicide exceeded the national rate in 2000. Richard E. Nelson, assistant director of KU Counseling and Psychological Services and author of The Power to "I have been at KU 25 years, and we have been few fortunate in having relatively few completed suicides," he said. Prevent Suicide, said although suicide was a concern on every college campus, he had seen very few suicides at the University. "I hit a moment where the idea of not having to deal with my problems anymore seemed a lot better than living," she said. "I took a bunch of pills and I thought it would be the answer. Looking back on it now, I knew it wasn't the answer and I was lucky to live through it." Pehrson said she attempted suicide because she wanted to escape her problems. She realized it was a mistake. Nelson said things such as the break-up in the last 60 days, the over-use of drugs and a lack of family support could contribute to a suicide attempt. Pehrson said it was important for people dealing with thoughts of suicide to talk to someone. "Talking to people makes you realize that there is a way to get through it," she Suicide Warning Signs Changes in behavior - Changes in behavior - Changes in grades, usually lower, not higher - Withdrawal from friends - Changes in sleeping behavior - Alcohol abuse Source: Richard E. Nelson, assistant director of Counseling and Psychological Services Suicide Statistics Suicides among people ages 15 to 24 in Kansas rose from 47 in 1989 to 62 in 1998, and were the second leading cause of deaths in that age group. They accounted for 18 percent of those deaths, according to a study released last month. Kyle Ramsey/KANSAN Source: Kansas Department of Health and Environment "If they are in a residence hall to talk to Nelson also stressed the importance of finding people to talk with. said. "Talk to anybody that you trust and will listen to you." "Talking to people makes you realize that there is a way to get through it." Liza Pehrson Chinook, Mont., junior a residence assistant or residence director," he said. "If they are living off-campus, to encourage the student to seek help through CAPS. They need people who will talk with them very honestly about what's going on. They need somebody concerned enough to get them the help they need." If a student notices that one of his friends is having suicidal thoughts, Nelson said it was essential to contact their parents and CAPS. "The more people who know the warning signs of suicide, the better off they are," he said. - The Associated Press contributed to this story - Edited by Jacob Roddy --- 2A --- The Inside Front Tuesday April 10,2001 News from campus, the state. the nation and the world WASHINGTON, D.C. LAWRENCE LONDON FT. WORTH CAMPUS Advisory board seeks input on campus safety Students are invited to attend Student Senate's Campus Safety Advisory Board meeting today at 3:30 p.m. at Alcove D in the Kansas Union. Nooshin Soltani, chairwoman of the board, said the group was looking for student input about safety on campus.

Soltani said the board had already approved six safety phones around campus. — Brooke Hesler School of Pharmacy receives several honors Recent successes within the School of Pharmacy are credited to the school's effort to emphasize professionalism and leadership, said Jack Fincham, dean of pharmacy. Patrick Brady, Bonner Springs fourthyear pharmacy student, was elected president of the Academy of Students of Pharmacy, which is the national KANSAS BX PHARMACEUTICALS student organization of the American Pharmaceutical Association. As president, Brady will oversee an executive committee that represents more than 18,000 pharmacy students at 82 schools nationwide and in Puerto Rico. Angel Eichenlaub, Overland Park fourth-year pharmacy student, was elected speaker, the highest elected position of the Phi Lambda Sigma Pharmacy Leadership Society House of Delegates. Membership to the organization is by invitation and the House is a prestigious leadership organization of students, faculty and professionals, she said. Leonard Plain, Winfield sixth-year pharmacy student, was elected chairman of the executive committee of the International Pharmaceutical Students Federation in the fall. Plain is one of seven students worldwide who is responsible for coordinating pharmacy students exchange programs, in which more than 35 countries participate. Emily Callaghan NATION Bush sends final budget to Congress for approval WASHINGTON — President Bush sent Congress yesterday the full details of his $1.96 trillion budget, promising to restrain what he considers the excessive growth of government spending by trimming a multitude of government programs, from energy conservation to putting police on the streets. The nearly 5-inch thick stack of blue budget books, which fleshes out the Bush proposal includes $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax cut 25 broad budget outline the president released in February, seeks to put the new administration's stamp on the federal government by rolling back many initiatives promoted by former President Clinton's administration. All of the cuts make room for Bush's signature proposal, a $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax cut, while also using a projected $5.6 trillion surplus during the next decade to pay down a record amount of the national debt. Democrats contended Bush was cutting programs too severely. American Airlines finishes purchase of competitor FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines' parent company bought bankrupt Trans World Airlines yesterday, completing a deal that will offer travel to more than 300 cities worldwide on more than 900 planes. "Today we celebrate a true milestone for the employees and customers of both American Airlines and TWA," said Donald J. Carty, chairman and CEO of American Airlines. American, the No. 2 carrier before the deal, will swap positions with No. 1 United Airlines. American's new-found supremacy could be short-lived though. The airlines will reverse positions again if United succeeds in its bid to obtain most of US Airways During a transition the airlines will operate independently, with separate reservation systems, payrolls, aircraft and policies. Earlier yesterday, a federal appeals court cleared the way for the deal to be closed, denying a last minute bid by a group of Israeli TWA workers to stop the transaction. The workers, members of the Jewish Labor Federation, claimed they were unsecured creditors owed about $18 million in salaries and benefits. College team accidents promt van safety study WASHINGTON — The government warned yesterday that 15-passenger vans — like those used to shuttle college teams, church groups and airport passengers — have a dramatically higher risk of rollover when fully loaded. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also said the vans, often driven by students or volunteers, should be operated only by experienced drivers. NHTSA issued the consumer advisory after finding the vans are three times more likely to roll over when carrying 10 or more passengers. The study was prompted by a series of rollovers involving college sports teams. Four members of the Prairie View A&M University track team were killed and seven others were seriously injured when their van rolled over on the way to a meet last year. Other serious rollover accidents last year involved the Wisconsin-Oshkosh swim team, the DePaul women's track team and the Kenyon College swim team NHTSa found that when fully loaded, a large van's center of gravity shifts up and to the back, increasing the risk of rollovers, especially in panic maneuvers by drivers. WORLD Judge orders return of 'Internet Twins' LONDON — A British couple lost their bid yesterday to regain custody of the "Internet Twins" — baby girls found through a U.S. online adoption broker, who then became the subject of a trans-Atlantic tug-of-war — with the High Court ruling that the infants should be returned to the United States. Judith and Alan Kilshaw of Wales had brought the 9-month-old girls to Britain three months ago after paying double the fee of that paid by a California couple who also wanted to adopt them. The twins were placed a few weeks later in the care of social services, where they have remained since. Justice Andrew Kirkwood ruled that the girls should be returned to the state of Missouri, where the estranged biological parents are seeking custody. In a statement, the judge said the twins would be placed in foster care in Missouri pending rulings there on their future. Kirkwood said arrangements for and timing of the babies' transfer would be confidential and "carefully planned so as to avoid, so far as possible, any further distress for the twins." The court session was punctuated by two outbursts outside chambers by Mrs. Kilshaw, who gained a reputation for eccentric behavior as the custody tussle dragged on.

C Tuesday, April 10, 2001 The University Daily Kansan Section A·Page 3 Studentsenate Sun, debates heat up Wescoe Beach I'll just leave it as is. Okay, I'm ready to output the text. By Brookie Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Candidates from the Delta Force andVOICE coaliations squared off yesterday in front of Wescoe Hall for the second Student Senate debate. Questions ranged from how the candidates would address campus recycling to how they would protect the endangered Javhawk. Justin Mills, Delta Force presidential candidate, said Delta Force had long been committed to recycline efforts. "For housing, recycling is not a priority, and it needs to be." Mills said. "It's going to be an issue of making students more aware," he said. He said he had met with officials from the Department of Student Housing last year, but they didn't seem interested in expanding the recycling program. Hunter Harris, VOICE vice presidential candidate, said students needed to become more involved with recycling Harris also said VOICE planned to work with the City of Lawrence to establish a curb-side recycling program for the city. One student at the debate asked the candidates about the recent cuts of the men's swimming and diving and tennis teams. He said that the only reason he planned to vote was because of what happened to the two teams. Jessica Bankston, VOICE presidential candidates, who also sits on the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation Board and voted in favor of the cuts, said KUAC sought other options but was left without any choice. "We need to make sure our administration is committed to generating money for these teams," she said. Bankston also said what happened to the teams wasn't fair to the athletes involved. Mills said the Athletics Department should have come to Senate when it was having money problems. "We need to have more knowledge about what's going on with the Athletic Department," said Kyle Browning, Delta Force vice presidential candidate. "We need to have a strong voice in these departments and get more student representation on these boards." The debate was less formal than last Tuesday's debate. Students were able to directly ask the candidates questions. They were asked what was in their CD players, what their most embarrassing moments were and who their role models were. Browning said he listened to The Who. Harris said his most embarrassing moment was when his pants were pulled down in high school. Mills said More information For a collection of election articles throughout the week. See www.kansan.com his role model was his father, and Bankston said hers was her grandfather. The mascot Baby Jay also attended the debate. He asked the candidates if Senate did anything to help endangered birds like the Jayhawk. Harris said Senate didn't, but that he would write a bill if it would help. Mills said he saw many Jayhawks in the crowd and therefore didn't consider them endangered. OE Edited by Ashley Rock Top: During a lighter moment of the debate, Jessica Bankston, presidential candidate forVOICE,and Justin Mills, presidential candidate for Delta Force, react to Baby Jay's question of how they planned to protect the Jayhawk from becoming extinct.

Photos by Selena Jabara/KANSAN Senate coalitions outline proposals to serve students By Brooke Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Jamie O'Rourke said she liked the fact that theVOICE coalition wanted to see the construction of a centralized hub where students could pick up periodicals and snacks. The Salt Lake City junior also liked the fact that Delta Force wanted better student seating in Allen Fieldhouse. O'Rourke said her Student Senate vote would be based on issues that affected her. "The more you put down the issues that matter to students, the more we're going to vote and put people in office," she said. KU VOICE Make Yours Heart Matt Dwyer, who is running with Delta Force for a liberal arts and sciences seat, said members of the coalition had already researched the possibility of better student seating in Allen Fieldhouse. He said he would like to see students occupying the first 10 courtside rows at games. Dwyer added that the arrangement would only shift alumni seating DEST FORCE "We're not really affecting their seating, so I don't know why they wouldn't be behind this," he said. He said moving the students would increase morale, and that he would be in contact with the Athletics Department to try coming to some sort of agreement. Jessica Bankston,VOICE presidential candidate said Senate should provide students with more substantial services. "It's tangible and practical, and that's something a lot of students want to see from Student Senate," Bankston said. She said VOICE would work to create a "Jayhawk Station" outside of Stauffer-Flint Hall. The station would contain periodicals and snacks. She said alumni would donate money for the undertaking, but that she was also considering other funding options. Bankston said she liked the proposal because organizations could gain more publicity by hanging fliers around the Jayhawk Station. Edited by Jennifer Valadez Scott's attorney to file for sentence reduction By Lauren Brandenburg writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Defense attorney Tom Bath said he would file a motion today for a reduction of the sentence of Sean Scott, a 16-year-old from Shawnee who was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in the Johnson County youth correctional facility and two years of aftercare for involuntary manslaughter. Scott pleaded no contest to the charge in March. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter for the death of 39-year-old Felicia "Lisa" Bland, a lifelong Lawrence resident, after a Sept. 16 accident in which Scott crossed the median on Kansas Highway 10 and struck Bland's car, killing her. According to interviews in the Kansas Highway Patrol's accident report, Scott had been drinking at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, 1540 Louisiana St., and the Wheel, 507 W. 14th St. before the accident. According to the police report, which the Kansan received yesterday after suing the Kansas Highway Patrol in October for access, Scott had a beer bong in his trunk, and he had both his own driver's license and his brother's license in his wallet. According to a police interview of Scott's mother that was listed in the report, Scott's mother had told Scott the night of the accident that he was to give his car keys to his brother's girlfriend and, if needed, was to spend the night at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house. The report says that Scott's mother did not state the reasons for telling him that but implied to the officer that it was for Scott's safety. After Scott's mother saw the girlfriend take Scott's keys and put them into her purse, she and her husband went to the KU football game while Scott, his brother and the girlfriend went to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The report says Scott's mother was aware that Scott's brother had given him his ID for unknown purposes. But she was unaware that Scott was driving back to Kansas City until notified of the accident, the report says. Bath, the defense attorney, told the court at Scott's plea hearing that fraternity members had ridiculed Scott for not drinking. According to a statement in the report from a Johnson County MedAct employee, Scott told paramedics that he had "wanted to stop drinking but they wouldn't let me." Jim Bland, Lisa Bland's husband of eight and a-half years, said yesterday he had not seen the report yet. He said he was frustrated when he learned the sentence would be appealed. He said he had known an appeal was an option, but he had been told it was extremely rare for one to be filed. "It made me sick to my stomach to hear the news," he said. "I thought it was done." Bath said the option to appeal a sentence was provided by statute. "Certainly everyone has a right to file an appeal if dissatisfied," he said. International students seek help on taxing forms Saturday workshop to help students file income tax returns By Michelle. Ward writer @kansan.com Kansas staff writer Nata Koridez began her tax statement with confidence as she briskly wrote her name and address on the form. She soon learned that was the easiest part of the "longer than necessary" tax returns. After weaving her way through the maze of questions, she took it to Green Hall for a complete check. She patted herself on the back for making only one mistake and sent both her federal and state taxes through certified mail yesterday. Korizde, Tbilisi, Georgia, graduate student, is one of many University of Kansas international students who must file federal and state taxes with the United States. Students who earn income through work, scholarships or from various other holdings within the United States must file by Monday, April 16. International students also need to submit an 8843 form with their income tax. Those earning no income in the United States must file this form by Friday, June 15. The 8843 tracks visa status and how long a student has been in the country. Students can receive tax help at a workshop from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday in 203 Green Hall. “It's confusing for non-Americans,” Koridze said. “I did it first at home and then took it to Green Hall. Everyone who lives here must fill out taxes. I'm OK with that." International students who have not begun preparation should file an exemption and make an appointment with Legal Services for Students following Monday, April 16, said Jo Hardesty, director and managing attorney. Students can call the IRS at (800) 796-1074 for the extension, which would give them until August to file their tax returns. Hardesty said there were a number of difficult areas when dealing with nonresident forms. Students from a host of countries can receive a bonus from a tax treaty between their home country and the United States. While students receive a $2,800 personal exemption, they are not eligible for the $4,400 standard deduction, Hardesty said. Thus, in many cases, the treaty works as an equivalent for the standard deduction. The substantial presence rule works for international students who have been in the country for five or more years. When they file their fifth return, students are considered residents for tax purposes, Hardesty said. This does not change their immigration or visa status, but they receive the $4,400 standard deduction, plus the $2,800 personal exemption. On the flip side, they have to list world-wide income which they did not as nonresidents, Hardesty said. Frances Tan, a Petaling Jaya, Malaysia senior, has become accustomed to the annual taxes, filling them out the past four years. After the first year, she said it was much easier to complete the necessary paperwork, using her previous year's return. She usually makes an "It is confusing for non-Americans.I did it first at home and then took it to Green Hall." Green Hall. Nata Koridze Tbillisi, Georqia, graduate studen appointment with Legal Services for Students, which helps navigate her through the difficult questions. She couldn't get in this year so she went to various tax workshops and to volunteers at the KUlaw school for help. Tan said most of the confusion came with regard to scholarships. The school aid should be cataloged under income but is not taxable when it covers the amount for tuition and books, she said. But anything over that amount can be taxed It becomes confusing when students have multiple scholarships or one from their home country. They receive a 1042-S form from each scholarship donor that they need to supply with tax forms. Hardesty said international students who have been in the United States for less than five years do not need to declare income coming from outside America. She said it was important for all international students to file no matter how long they were planning on staying in the country. "Since it's the law, they really don't have a choice," Hardesty said. "They are visiting the United States, and they want to maintain a good status in the country. They really should file. It's pretty painless."

Voting was by secret ballot, and the pair who received a majority of the votes was chosen to be endorsed. Chris Borniger, opinion editor, and Nathan Willis, associate opinion editor, did not vote. Board members also endorsed individual candidates for Student Senate. Although board members usually tried to endorse the same number of candidates as there were open seats, when the board did not feel strongly enough about that many candidates, it endorsed fewer. Candidates who did not turn in surveys were not endorsed. Not all candidates provided all information requested. All information the board received is presented here.

City commission seat: "Jayhawk Station: Construct a hub on the lawn near Stauffer-Flint Hall that would provide snacks and periodicals. ustin Mills' and Kyle Browning's level-headed, impact-focused agenda convinced the 2001 Kansan editorial board that they would best represent students in the University of Kansas and Lawrence communities as student body president and vice president After interviewing Mills and Browning, as well as VOICE candidates Jessica Bankston and Hunter Harris, board members concluded that Mills and Browning were the best choice for students. The board endorsed the pair by a vote of 9-2 and strongly encourages all students to vote tomorrow and Thursday. Mills' and Browning's passion for improving students' lives shines through. Instead of citing a need to lobby the Kansas Legislature — an approach past student body president and vice president candidates often have supported and one Bankston and Harris said they would use — Mills and Browning said they would focus on action at Lawrence and the University. The board agreed with this need for a strong shift in focus. Although the Student Legislative Awareness Board (which Bankston leads as legislative director) saw considerable success in its voter registration drives, it has experienced little luck at the state capital. Despite the best efforts of student lobbyists, legislators continue to slash the University's budget and raise tuition. Maintaining the standard lobbying approach is a poor idea and certainly won't solve the University's worsening money woes. "You can only be nice for so long," Browning said. "We need to raise a ruckus." Instead, the pair said they would focus their energy on changes that would directly impact students. Instead of actively lobbying the legislature, they said they would actively lobby the city commission to avoid laws with students as targets — namely, the new housing ordinance with a three-person Mills and Browning said they would not abandon all hope in Topeka, however. But they said they would work vigorously to make legislators more accountable. P. E. BURKE Justin Mills Delta Force presidential candidate Kyle ★ ENDORSED: Vote for Justin Mills and Kyle Browning. PENNELLI SCHULZ Browning Delta Force vice presidential candidate Jessica Bankston VOICE presidential candidate limit. And a major plank of their platform included improving minority recruitment and retention as a priority because it would build a healthier University community. Hunter Both Mills and Browning tout admirable and leadership-worthy backgrounds. Mills, Lansing senior, was a resident assistant for two years and has been a senator for two years; he's now the chairman of the Multicultural Affairs committee. International, Students for a Free Tibet, the Student Leadership Team of Ecumenical Christian Ministries and Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice. Bankston and Harris, however, made compelling arguments for their candidacies. Two of their platform planks sounded promising: a Jayhawk Station to replace the bus shelter in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall, which would be a sort of convenience kiosk, and an improved advising and mentoring process. But their other two planks seem unrealistic. They promise to regain funds the state recently withdrew for technology on campus, a goal that hardly seems likely with Kansas' dreary fiscal future. They also said they would push for a student seat on the city commission — an effort commissioners have repeatedly shot down, citing how University students already have a vote at the polls. Harris VOICE vice presidential candidate Browning's record also is impressive, and the board thinks he would make an outstanding student body vice president. His résumé includes membership and leadership positions in a number of diverse organizations: Amnesty Bankston's background is strong. This is her third year as a senator. During her freshman year, she was on the Recreation Task Force and helped draft a proposal for the new recreation center to be built this fall. She is now SLAB's legislative director (one of the University's primary representatives to the legislature). This is Harris' first year in Senate. He ran unsuccessfully with the Students First coalition last year, but the Interfraternity Council appointed him to represent it in Senate. His record in Senate is weak; he's sponsored a relatively few bills this year (six, compared with Browning's 15) and is the chairman of the Campus Master Plan Task Force, which hasn't even had its first meeting yet. These factors, combined with the vague answers he gave to the editorial board, led the board to conclude that he would not be an adequate student body vice president. The board sees the endorsement of Mills and Browning as an endorsement of change. They have proven they have the energy and the ideas to make the University a better place for students. Chris Borniger for the editorial board Chris Borniger Ballot issue would expand student rights Students should pass a referen- Students can't bring Legal Services attorneys to hearings involving disputes with the University — though they can bring a private attorney, which few students can afford. The University perpetuates a double standard by allowing costly private Sudden that would allow them to enlist the help of Legal Services for Students attorneys in grievance hearings against the University of Kansas — but they shouldn't expect much to happen as a result. points. Bringing attorneys to hearings stifles communication and fosters hostility on each side. Yet this should not be an excuse to deny students their rights.

The issue...VOICE view...Delta Force view...Our take...Advantage...
Minority retention and recruitmentSenate must work with minority organizations on campus to raise awareness and recruit high school minority students. Getting more money for minority scholarships is probably not realistic.Start a program similar to the social norms drinking campaign“but not as lame”to extoll the benefits of diversity to students.Put pressure on administrators to live up to promises regarding minority faculty hiring.Both coalitions are concerned about diversity, but Delta Force has more concrete plans and included the issue as part of its platform.Promoting diversity is one of Mills' top goals. Realistically, Senate will need lots of cooperation from the administration to get things accomplished.
Reserve account fundsFunds would go to the"Jayhawk Station,"a snack bar/bus stop combination on the lawn near Stauffer-Flint Hall,and small projects around campus.Would keep $150,000 in the account for emergencies.Not certain what to do with all the money,but use part of it to finance an off-campus resource center and more to purchase things all students can use,such as clocks in buildings and bulletin boards.The Jayhawk Station sounds nice,but Senate doesn't have control of the property,so next year's Senate may have only a minor say in what happens.Many senators say it's likely to happen regardless of who wins.Likewise,the off-campus resource center is likely to happen anyway.Toss-up
Local vs.state effortsContinue lobbying efforts in Topeka,focusing on the restoration of the state's matching funds for the technology fee students pay.On the local level,work to establish a KU student city commission seat.Turn focus away from Topeka and toward Lawrence.Instead,concentrate on campus and city issues,such as bike lanes,parking and housing,while not entirely eliminating lobbying efforts in the Kansas Legislature.VOICE has more concrete plans,but none will work.Bankston points out that lobbying helped secure tech money originally,but the legislative atmosphere now makes restoring it unlikely.The commission balked at adding a student seat when Senate tried to do that a few years ago.It would do so again.
Student fee increasesSupports the newest fee increase for the Newspaper Readership Program,但 wants to establish a requirement that student fee increases of more than $10 go to referendums in the future.Ambivalent about the $6.50 fee increase for the newspaper program,concerned it may burden students,but would support some increases,such as for recycling.Also wants future increases to go to referendums.The two coalitions don't have much to bicker about in this area.Each supports letting students decide on future fee increase.The only disagreement between the two is which fee increases they would supports.The disagreements there mirror their platforms and stances.Toss-up
Senate outreachSenate outreach improved this year.Working with resident assistants and scholarship hall directors to spread info is important.Also,Outreach Week should be expanded and a Senate newsletter established.Outreach has improved this year.The major obstacle preventing further improvement is the death of a bill that would require student senators to meet with their constituents.Delta Force's outreach requirement has noble intentions and should be passed,but enforcement problems prevent it from being the single solution.Bankston has a history of improving outreach through small steps.VOICE has assembled another workable collection of small steps,such as a newsletter.

Senate outreachSenate outreach improved this year.Working with resident assistants and scholarship hall directors to spread info is important.Also, Outreach Week should be expanded and a Senate newsletter established.Outreach has improved this year.The major obstacle preventing further improvement is the death of a bill that would require student senators to meet with their constituents.Delta Force's outreach requirement has noble intentions and should be passed,but enforcement problems prevent it from being the single solution.Bankston has a history of improving outreach through small steps.VOICE has assembled another workable collection of small steps,such as a newsletter.
The Kansan editorial board debated about what it believed to be the five most important issues facing Student Senate next year. It settled on those below. Here is how the editorial board thinks the two coalition campaigning for Senate stack up on these five issues.

The fact is, besides the athletes we are redshirting, we still have many athletes that have proven themselves to be consistent high quality performers. Sarah failed to recognize that we still have three All-American athletes competing in Ryan Speers, Andy Tate and myself. Show me another team on campus that can boast to having three All-Americans on their squad. I won't argue that redshirting these athletes will make us very thin, but we aren't ready to throw in the towel this outdoor season and look ahead to next year. ticketmaster (816) 931-3330 (785) 234-4545 This is a letter in response to Sarah Warren's column in the Kansan about the men's track team ("Loss of seniors is devastating to outdoor track season success," March 28). As a member of the men's track team, I was genuinely hurt by the words that were printed. I have worked extremely hard for my four years on the track team. I came to KU as a non-scholarship athlete who needed work to compete at the Division I level. As a result of my hard work, I have become a school record holder, a Big 12 champion, a national qualifier and an All-American. Although I have accepted the fact that despite these accomplishments I will remain fairly anonymous throughout campus, I won't accept being called "dead weight" by a reporter in my own school's newspaper. I don't understand why this negative article about our program is featured on the front page of the sports section while the article about us placing eighth at nationals was printed on page 8. Although I have always wanted to see our team get more coverage in your newspaper, I think the entire team would agree that this is not the kind of coverage that we want Just like the team has accepted that these great athletes will not be competing for us this outdoor season. I would ask that you accept this and move on to covering the outstanding athletes that are competing. I have a feeling that many athletes that you have never heard of will step up this season and make big contributions on this year's team. For those who supposedly have eternity to figure things out, there seems to be a lot of frantic arguing going on lately, especially concerning the importance of Christianity in today's society. I'm writing in response to two previous columns — one asserting that Christianity is flawed and irrelevant today, and another contending the opposite. As the biggest supporter of Kansas track and field, I would expect Sarah to notice that we aren't wearing pink shorts anymore. Each of them have a few good points, but miss the bigger picture. The first columnist was right in saying that Christianity is a flawed belief system; basically, it is founded on contradictions. A lot of people have been incensed by this statement, but there has been hardly any proof offered to back up what they're sayi-ng. Brian Blachly Paola senior And they're not going to get any help from the Bible, which is truly an error-ridden text. Although there are a number of good stories and parables, it is still something written by humans and for humans. In fact, there are many parts that are outright immoral. In Numbers (15:32-36), a man is found searching for sticks in the forest on a Sunday; so, naturally, God commands Moses to kill him for his crime. Later on (in 25:16-17), a command is given by the Lord to Moses to "Vex the MIDianites, and smite them." Six chapters later, Moses and the children of Israel kill all the men and boys of Midian, burn their cities, and steal their goods and cattle. But it gets worse. They kill all the men's wives because they are not virgins, and for those who are still virgins — they have the privilege of becoming sex slaves to the priests of Israel. And Jesus wasn't much better. Although he is said to be the paragon of good morality, according to the New Testament this is hardly warranted. In Luke 12:47,48, Jesus gives instructions on how to beat slaves. He displays his affection for life by drowning innocent animals (Matthew 8:32), and he even encourages castration (Matthew 19:12). As for family values? "I am come," he said, "to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household" (Matthew 10:35-36). Jesus attacked merchants with a whip (John 2:15), and many of the burnings of unbelievers during the Inquisition were justified using his words: "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned" (John 15:6). At one point, Jesus even irrationally curses a fig tree! (Matthew 21:18-19) Jesus certainly did good deeds, and many of the things he taught were worthwhile, but he made mistakes. He was human, and part of being human means searching for answers. The first columnist contending that Christianity is no longer relevant did so with good ideas but shaky logic. She was searching for her own answers. Is this who we should really look up to, who we should have our children turning to for moral guidance? Isn't there someone better we can find? For me, science and philosophy offer more than any religion ever could. I've tried Christianity; my family is Christian, but it doesn't work for me. I need something more logical, more consistent with reality. For many, though, this isn't possible. For those who still need to be supported, for those whose lives need an external source of happiness and worth, Christianity is by far still relevant today. To imagine that we are here on our own, that it is up to us to do what is right, is tough indeed. As Freud said, "It takes a person of great faith to be an atheist." Christianity is still relevant because people need it, and as long as they do, it will survive. Cody Marrs Wichita freshman Sleepout increases awareness I wanted to take a moment to comment on Ben Tatar's latest column ("Helping homeless people means care, not board." April 3). Before I do that I would like to commend him for volunteering at Jubilee Cafe and being inspired enough to do something for the homeless on his own accord. I think his column addressed a bit of human nature we are losing in our society: compassion toward our fellow human beings. However, while someone like Mr. Tatar may have the self-initiative to give some of his precious time to the homeless, other students, faculty and community members don't have that same desire. I would argue further that many of them are not aware that there are more than 200 homeless individuals in Lawrence. Therefore, raising money to help those in need is not "worthless." It might actually make some students more aware of the homeless citizens of our community. And by "pushing students into the cold with pillows and flashlights," perhaps they too will learn to have compassion for the plight of those who are homeless or unwished. Mr. Tatar also makes another unremarkable statement in his column: "we students can't imagine what it's like to be homeless." While he states the obvious, he lacks the realization that a majority of individuals don't give a second thought to the unfortunate circumstances of the homeless. I sure didn't think twice until eight other students and myself went on a weekend Urban Plunge in a strange city "impersonating" someone who was homeless. This real-life experience not only benefits the student, but also the homeless population. I can say that since that experience I have been, and always will be, an advocate for homeless citizens' rights. Whether that be through letter writing to legislators, attending city council meetings, volunteering at the Jubilee or raising money for social services. I am sure many people will continue to criticize the actions of those who falsely integrate themselves into street life or a shelter. I would argue that one couldn't truly understand what kind of battle our homeless citizens have until we attempt to walk in their shoes. Corey M. Snyder Topeka senior Paper diplomas cheap option Good ol' KU has managed to outdo itself again in terms of unabashed cheapness. If you end up graduating from this institution, don't expect the usual diploma folder diploma. This University has given a literal meaning to the diploma being merely "a purchased piece of paper." I have two degrees from other universities, and both provided this rather obvious "amenity." Heck, even my high school in the middle of Redneckville, Texas, graciously provided this "perk." KU's next step will probably be an e-mail with the diploma as a.pdf attachment for home printout. At least students could use a higher grade of paper for the diploma. This could save what must be millions of dollars going into the simple printing of diplomas. John Culbertson Lawrence graduate student Graduate students should vote This Wednesday and Thursday, graduate students should cast their votes in the Student Senate elections. In order for campus elections to result in the best representation for all student concerns, the participation of more graduate students is required. Student Senate-funded activities affect graduate students on a daily basis. Yet constantly, Senate and its leaders ignore what would be logical and helpful for the University's graduate and professional student communities. Former student body presidents have explained to me that the reason for this disregard of graduate concerns is that graduate students do not vote enough. Senate will never adequately fund graduate groups nor respect our needs unless more of us vote in the Senate elections. Graduate-specific issues do not even appear in coalition campaign platforms, except for Delta Force's ongoing support of GTAs during contract negotiations. Undergraduate students do not know firsthand the rigors of graduate school, although all graduate and professional students have already had the undergraduate collegiate experience. It is the shared responsibility of undergraduate and graduate students to work together on behalf of graduate student needs. The graduate student constituency must no longer be ignored. Grad students, voting in this election is a first step to a better KU. GTAC president and Delta Force graduate candidate for Student Senate GTAs may not have it so bad I feel that the article titled, "GTAs for higher rallies" in Friday's paper leaves out some important details that are worth mentioning out of fairness to the administration. Perhaps some of these details are specific to my department, but it is my understanding these policies are University-wide. Does the University of Iowa give free tuition to GTAs? Is the University of Iowa salary figure computed from nine or 12 months of work? The University's compensation to the GTA is $16,100. The alternative would be to get a part- or full-time job to pay for school. Full-time GTAs get free tuition. The one semester I took classes at KU and did not teach, I paid around $4,000 for out-of-state tuition. This would be $4,000 annually. Consider the case of an out-of-state GTA who is paid $500 a month — this is less than average, $333. Nine hundred dollars a month for nine months is $1.10. He is out of state, he receives $8,000 of free tuition for the nine months he teaches. Compare this to a full-time job that pays $42,933 a year — not a great, but a reasonable salary. If you only work 20 hours a week, you should only get paid $21,467. If you only work nine months out of 12, you should only get paid $16,100. To be fair, few part time jobs pay $20 an hour, have flexible hours and give health benefits. Wayne Miller GTA in electrical engineering and computer science Campus needs more well-lit lots In regards to the parking story you ran on Wednesday ("Irate student sounds off on parking ticket"), I too am a frustrated parker. I have two night classes this semester and am on campus after dark twice a week. I have had the hardest time finding places to park that I feel are safe. Campus is so dark, and I have fought all semester to park in well-lit areas. Consequently, I have received three tickets. The first ticket was in the new parking garage north of the Union. Classmates kept saying we wouldn't get charged that late at night, then bam—$20. Next, I parked in a well-lit spot south of Wescoe. There was no sign visible where I parked, and yet I received a ticket for parking in a restricted space. Supposedly, the spot is restricted through 7 p.m. My class begins at 7 p.m., and I got there no earlier than 6 p.m. Bam—$20. Third, I was going to my class in Wescoe again last week and couldn't find a place to park. I was sure there were many spots in the lot south of Memorial Stadium, but I was not about to walk up that hill in the dark. I parked in front of a dumpster. Bam — $20. I know parking in front of a dumpster was wishful thinking on my part (wishful because I hoped to get away with it), and I plan to pay that ticket, along with the two others However, the lack of "safe" parking on campus at night is definitely a problem, and I don't think safety-conscience students should be penalized. I feel the Parking Department should keep student safety in mind and stop ticketing at night. I have not bought a parking permit for this semester, but the Parking Department has found a way to make their money. I don't agree with the fines. My last peeve is the new parking garage. Why, on earth, does it cost $1 an hour? There is no other lot in the entire city of Lawrence with rates this high. One of my night classes is in Smith, and I feel the safest place to park is in the garage. However, I have to pay $5 a night to park where I think it's safer. This doesn't seem right to me. It's as if the University is saying, "park in all the dark, creepy places you want, but if you want to feel safe, you'll have to pay." I'torn between whether I should feel safe and pay or continue to be afraid while walking to class. It isn't fair.

George Cone, assistant director of Facilities Operations central heating, said the fountain would be turned on by Wednesday, April 18 or Thursday, April 19, when temperatures likely wouldn't drop low enough at night to freeze the water. This news is met with dread and delight, as the KU Public Safety Office and Facilities Operations prepare to square off against students in the battle of the bubbles. "I've been here for three years now, and I know that once we turn on the fountain, it's going to get soaked," Cone said. He said the fountain held nearly 5,000 gallons of water — all of which is drained whenever a prankster dumps soap into the fountain tub. Plumbers pour a defoaming agent into the tub to bust the bubbles, clear the sudsy residue from the pump and filter, add bleach to keep algae from forming and then refill the tub. The entire tedious process, Cone said, can take up to half a day. He also said it would have to be done three or four times a week. "I wouldn't mind it every once in a while, but we only have seven plumbers for the entire campus," Cone said. "Even the first night, it's soaped. It's usually the Chi Omega fountain and the Chancellor's fountain that get it. Sometimes we dread turning them on. Fountains are a joy." Emily Cooper, Overland Park sophomore, agreed — without a hint of sarcasm. Cooper, of Sigma Kappa sorority, remembered a recent fountain splashst歼 involving two Lambda Chi seniors. "When my brother, Brian Cooper, and Ben Walker turned 21, they were thrown in the fountain," Cooper said. "I don't think they were naked, though." But Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office advised students to keep their rowdy antics in the fountain tub. "Our concern is the upper portion and people climbing on it." Mailen said. "We'd just ask that people leave the fountain head alone. The halos get stolen and it detracts from the beauty of the fountain." Cone said several halos — the attachments on the top tier of the fountain that spray the water in various directions — were stolen every season, and each replacement took a plumber two or three hours to make. And if students get caught stealing a halo or sudging the fountain, Cone said, they might pay for their misbehavior. "There's a lot of water and plumbers have an hourly wage, so if they get caught, well, they're going to pay for it." Cone said. Mailen said halo stealing aside, the fountain was safe from police intervention. "We're not going to run people out of the bottom bowl," Malen said. "It's a good place to cool off." Edited by Gillian Titus GO HAMMER Architect's rendering of what the west side of the Kansas Union will look like after phase three of the renovations are complete. The third phase will cost S6.2 million and Design and Construction Management plans to begin construction in June. Kansas Union ready for renovations By Rachel Moluf Special to the Kansan Students who leave for the summer can expect to see a new side — or at least part of one — of the Kansas Union when they return. Phase three of the Kansas Union renovations is expected to begin in June, said Steve Scannell, assistant director of Design and Construction Management. Phase one, which took place in the early 1980s, focused on creating the food court on the third floor. Phase two, which went from April 1992 to April 1993, focused on renovating the bookstore on the second floor and revamping the fourth floor. Scannell said that phase three would create a main entrance from the west, facing Spencer Museum. There would also be renovations to the bookstore on the second floor, a covered walkway from the parking garage to the Union, an expansion of the Organizations and Leadership offices on the fourth floor, renovations to Jaybowl and renovations to the food court. "The new main staircase will have panoramic views to campus, so it's easy to identify and to see where you're at," Scannell said. "It will be right on an axis with the main entrance on the west side." The most visible addition will be a six-story stairwell. services for the Kansas and Burge Unions, said the west side of the Union had always been seen as a back door. Pat Beard, director of building "While phases one and two enhanced the east and south sides, this renovation will make a nice second entrance, with an enhanced landscape," he said. Beard said he didn't expect the construction to cause much disruption. "The stairwell construction will be outside, and we hope the new stairwell will be in use before we close the old one," he said. "And except for level one, the elevators will be running. The bookstore will have some disruption too, but we can partition that off." Student fees will pay for the majority of the $6.2 million cost of the third phase of renovation. Marlon Marshall, student body vice president and St. Louis senior, said each semester students paid a $28 Union building fee and a $18 renovation fee to pay for projects such as this one. "I think what's going on will attract more students to the Union," Marshall said. "The Union is supposed to be the student living room and the renovations will make it look better. I'm very happy Marshall said the Kansas Union Memorial Corp. Board, composed of students and Union administrators, made the decisions concerning Union construction. RENOVATIONS ■ Renovations to the food court, bookstore and Jaybowl Expansion of the Organizations and Leadership offices Addition of a new entrance from the west, covered walkway from the parking garage and a six-story stairwell. All phase three renovations are expected to be completed sometime next spring, Scannell said. Following this project, two more phases of Union work will be pursued. Sorority house awarded for historic preservation Edited by Megan Phelps with what they're doing." Project used pictures from original architect By Cynthia Malakasis writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer A project that preserved the Chi Omega sorority house's historic architectural character while upgrading living standards earned the house a 2001 Award for Excellency from the Kansas Preservation Alliance. The award ceremony took place Thursday evening at the Wichita- Sedgwick County Historical Museum during the annual Kansas Historic Preservation Conference. Theis Doolittle Associates of Kansas City was the architecture firm in charge of the project. Stacey Dillon, Lawrence resident and president of the Corporation Board for the Chi Omega KU chapter, said the project started three years ago and its initial goal was to add fire sprinklers to the house so it could live up to fire safety standards and generally upgrade living conditions for the residents. But, as the project unfolded, the architects in charge and Chi Omega representatives started researching the initial form of the house and the plans of the architect who built it, using old photographs of the interior as a guide. The house is listed in the State Register of Historic Places, and Dillon said the main reasons for that were the enhanced plaster ceilings in the first floor reception and living room areas. She said great care was taken to stabilize and repair those ceilings without altering their character. "Everyone involved in the project felt it was very important to maintain historic characteristics and update living standards at the same time." Dillon said. The house was constructed in 1925. Walter E. Glover, the architect who designed it, aimed at creating a sorority house outside of traditional dormitory standards. Brenda Spencer, Topeka resident and board member of the Kansas Preservation Alliance, said the organization honored efforts of restoring old houses while maintaining their historical character every year. She said the Chi Omega House was a very good example of meeting those standards. "It was an outstanding example of rehabilitation process," Spencer said. "It was a great commitment by the architect and the owner to retain the historic character and adjust the house to the needs of residents." Spencer said Hoch Auditoria was also given an award by the Kansas Preservation Alliance in 1999, in recognition of the rebuilding effort. The Chi Omega house is the only KU sorority on the state's list of historic places. Edited bv Jason McKee Future scholarship halls may invade Oread neighborhood Bv Erin Adamson Kansan staff writer At the request of Chancellor Robert Hemenway, the properties were purchased as the future site of two new scholarship halls. The land will become property of the state, but some Oread residents wish the city had jurisdiction over the University for purchases The Kansas University Endowment Association recently purchased four houses and two apartment buildings in the 1300 block of Ohio Street, causing the Oread Neighborhood Association to worry about future KU expansion into the neighborhood. of historic properties for demolition. Janet Gerstner, president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said the neighborhood wanted to accommodate students. But she was concerned the University's purchase of neighborhood property would financially reward landlords for neglecting historic properties. Darrel Bean, Endowment Association representative, would not comment on the price of the properties purchased. Warren Corman, University architect and assistant to the chancellor, said Hemenway had identified a need for at least two new scholarship halls, but only one hall was in the planning stage. Corman said the halls would probably be designed like the Amini scholarship halls. He said construction would begin in the next few years. "We have a huge waiting list for students to live in scholarship balls." Corman said. Gerstner said the Oread neighborhood valued students but wanted to maintain the historic, family aspect of the neighborhood as well. She said a 1999 study of the neighborhood showed only 10 percent of houses were owner-occupied — a number that worried some neighborhood preser vationists. "We have a huge waiting list for students to live in scholarship halls." Warren Corman University architect "What we've always struggled with in our neighborhood is the houses are sold at a price assuming a number of people are renting." Gerstner said. "That's one of the things that hurt the neighborhood over the last 20 years." A University historic review committee is conducting a study to determine whether there is any historical significance to the structures to be demolished, Corman said. Gerstner said an Oread neighborhood meeting with Corman today would be a step toward a community dialogue. Dennis Enslinger, city planning office representative, said there were no city guidelines to preclude the University from purchasing properties in the neighborhood because they weren't officially listed as historic properties.

R.Mendoza at 864-4810 or e-mail editor@kansan.com Bush delivers warning to China The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Bush cautioned yesterday that the spy plane standoff may not end soon and warned China that relations with the United States could suffer. U. S. diplomas met for a fourth time with the crew of a crippled EP-3E surveillance plane. The 21 men and three women were doing fine, the president reported, and administration officials said negotiations for their release were progressing. Nonetheless, Beijing insisted anew yesterday that Washington apologize and take responsibility for the spy plane's March 31 collision with a Chinese fighter jet. The White House said neither demand was warranted. "D Diplomacy takes time," Bush said. "But there is a point — the "There's a point at which our relations with China could become damaged." George W. Bush President of the United States longer it goes — there's a point at which our relations with China could become damaged." Bush himself set high expectations a week ago today when he told China "it is time for our servicemen and women to return home" and again Friday when he reported "we're making progress" in negotiations. Many of his own advisers had said they believed the 24-member crew would be released over the weekend. Instead, China increased its hard-line rhetoric. "In consulta tions, the Chinese side has emphasized that the entire responsibility for this incident rests with the U.S. side," the state-run Xinhua News Agency said, citing China's Foreign Ministry. American diplomats were seeking a way to express sympathy to the satisfaction of China without an outright apology. The United States has also proposed having a commission determine the cause of the crash. The president was not specific about potential harm to U.S.-Chinese relations, but his advisers noted for a second straight day that support for continuing normal trade relations with China was eroding in Congress. They said the standoff also could affect the U.S. position on selling sophisticated destroyers to Chinese rival Taiwan; the future of U.S. military exchanges; Bush's scheduled trip to Beijing this fall and the administration's position on China hosting the 2008 Olympic Games. Republicans are particularly hawkish toward China. The Weekly Standard, a conservative magazine read by many of Bush's supporters, said in a weekend editorial titled "A National Humiliation" that the administration had shown weakness in its response to China. Hoping to lower emotions, the White House stressed reports that the crew was being fed and clothed well while housed in air-conditioned quarters on Hainan island in the South China Sea. The diplomats met the crew with no Chinese officials present, though they worked on the assumption that the conversations were being monitored by Beijing, U.S. officials said. Race an issue in L.A. mayoral campaign The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — In a city fast gaining a Latino majority, someone like Antonio Villaraigosa may be the face of the future. Villaraigosa, a Mexican immigrant's son from East L.A. and high school dropout who rose to speaker of the state Assembly, is seeking to become Los Angeles' first Latino mayor since 1872. With 47 percent of Los Angeles' 3.7 million residents identifying themselves as Hispanic, up from 40 percent a decade ago, some say it is about time. "It is hugely important," said Henry Cisneros, who became the country's first big-city Latino mayor when he was elected in San Antonio in 1981. "Latino population growth is so big it is a huge part of the American national future, and Los Angeles would be there first." But Villaraigosa, who eventually got his high school diploma and graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles, faces fierce competition from City Attorney James Hahn. He also risks splitting the Latino vote with Rep. Xavier Becerra. "I think there's an excitement about this candidacy," said Villaraigosa. a 48-year-old Democrat who supports police reform and organized labor and has the endorsement of Gov. Gray Davis. "People see that there's an opportunity to elect a progress "I think there's an excitement about this candidacy." Antonio Villaraigosa Los Angeles mayoral candidate sive and put together a broad coalition in support of an agenda that focuses on improving the quality of life for communities that have been left behind." A poll released last week showed Hahn and Villaraigosa the leaders, with 24 percent and 23 percent respectively. Becerra had 5 percent. And supporters cite his skill as a consensus builder during his six years in the Assembly. Villaraigosa rejects the Latino candidate label, insisting he wants to represent everyone. "If you look at our city today, 70 percent of children in the Los Angeles Unified School District are Latino," said billionaire businessman Eli Broad. "We will have a Latino mayor sooner or later." Hahn, a white man whose base is in the black communities of South L.A., said he did not view the city's changing demographics as an impediment. "I have significant support in the Latino community even though we have two Latino candidates running," Hahn said. Latinos are considered underrepresented in local government — only three of 15 City Council members are Latino. Helicopter crash kills 16 during Vietnam MIA search The Associated Press THANH TRACH. Vietnam THANH TRACH, Vietnam — American officials combed through the wreckage yesterday of a helicopter crash that killed 16 members of an MIA search team, including the commander of a Vietnamese-based unit of the U.S. military's MIA task force and the officer who was to replace him. The Russian-made MI-17 helicopter crashed Saturday much like many U.S. aircraft did during the Vietnam War — into a hazeshrouded mountainside in central Vietnam. On board were seven Americans and nine Vietnamese who were preparing for excavations next month as part of a search for the 1,992 Americans still listed as missing in action from the war in Indochina. The Pentagon released the names of the Americans yesterday. Among them was Lt. Col. George D. "Marty" Martin III, 40, of Hopkins, S.C., who was to take over command of the Hanoi detachment of the Hawai-based MIA task force in July. Martin, a battalion commander based in Fort Drum, N.Y., was a 17-year Army veteran, said his mother, Thelma Martin. The crash also killed the unit's current commander, Army Lt. Col. Rennie Cory Jr., 43. The Pentagon listed his hometown as Oklahoma City, but his wife, Andrea, told The Fayetteville Observer he was from Fayetteville, N.C. The other victims were Air Force Maj. Charles E. Lewis of Las Cruces, N.M.; Master Sgt. Steven L. Moser of San Diego, Tech.Sgt. Robert M. Flynn of Huntsville, Ala.; Navy Chief Petty Officer Pedro Juan Gonzalez of Buckeye, Ariz; and Army Sgt. 1st Class Tommy James Murphy. Murphy was from Georgia but his hometown was unavailable. Their bodies were to be flown to Hawaii later in the week. The Vietnamese military helicopter exploded on impact Saturday. Officials were still investigating the cause of the accident in Quang Binh province, about 280 miles south of Hanoi. The team had canceled a stop in Dong Hoi, the provincial capital, because of bad weather, a local official said. The helicopter was on its way instead to Hue, Vietnam's ancient capital, when it smashed into the mountain. U. S. Ambassador Pete Peterson praised Vietnam's efforts to recover the bodies and investigate the cause of the crash. "The spirit of cooperation shown by our Vietnamese partners in this time of grief is as admirable as it has been in all our MIA operations together," he said in a statement. The search for MIAs would continue despite the accident, "sustained by bonds of partnership made even stronger by this shared tragedy," he said. The Joint Task Force-Full Accounting, based in Camp H.M. Smith, Hawaii, has searched for MIA remains from the Indochina war in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and southern China since 1992, and in recent years has expanded operations to include World War II and Korean War MIA recovery cases. The fatalities were the task force's first in nine years of operation. The search for remains has grown more dangerous as the task force has investigated increasingly remote mountainous areas still littered with "UXO" — unexploded ordnance — from the war. Since 1973, the remains of 591 American service members formerly listed as unaccounted for have been identified and returned to their families. There are 1,992 Americans still unaccounted for from the war in Southeast Asia, including 1,498 in Vietnam.

They overcome obstacles by rescurrecting a fading career or by fighting back from injury and returning to the playing field. Their stories are among the best in sports. The former Jayhawk's recent play has caused many people to forget the events that took place on Sept. 25 last year at a Boston nightclub. Six months later, the stabbing that nearly cost Paul Pierce his life seems like a distant memory. Pierce has been back in uniform and scorching the nets at the Fleet Center all season. Ask anyone in Beantown about Paul Pierce, and they'll rave about the career year he's having. You're not likely to hear much anymore about his near-death experience. A couple weeks ago, ESPN.com had a poll to declare this year's comeback player of the year. It featured names such as Andres Galarraga and Mario Lemieux, who have both beaten the odds and returned to the sport they love. ESPN.com had some worthy candidates, but they missed the boat on a guy who should have won in a landslide — Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce. Most Boston fans have moved on and turned their focus to the team's playoff hopes. Paul Pierce would love nothing more than to see his team still going in two weeks, but for him, forgetting how this dream season started is not so easy. A career year can make up for a lot of things and wash away many bad memories, but even the best season won't erase the memory of the night that nearly ended it all. On an early September morning while hanging out at a local club, Pierce was stabbed within an inch of his life — literally. He was stabbed repeatedly on his back, neck and across his face. But a seven-inch gash to his sternum was an eyelash away from being fatal. Had the cut been within an inch or so in any direction, Pierce would have died instantly. When the news of Pierce's stabbing first broke, the buzz in Boston was about whether Pierce would survive the night. Soon after he was listed as stable, people began wondering whether his career would be in jeopardy. Once former Boston head coach Rick Pitino told the public Paul would be all right, people began anticipating his return. It was a whirlwind couple of days for Boston fans, but before they could say "clam-chowda" their worries about Pierce had been put to rest. But things weren't so simple for Paul. While Celtic fans were glued to their TVs, watching the Pierce-less Celtics struggle through their first few exhibition games, Pierce was undergoing plastic surgery and rehab. His road to recovery was underway, and to the surprise of several Celtic trainers, he was back on the parquet floor in a few weeks. By the time the regular season's first week rolled around, he was hitting on all cylinders and getting closer to 100 percent. With every month that passed, Pierce was getting stronger and his game was improving. Before long, he returned to full strength and even surpassed his previous level of play. He leads his team in scoring and has set career highs in almost every statistical category. His comeback became complete in March when he was named NBA Player of the Month. Pierce averaged more than 30 points in March and scored more than 40 points on four occasions in seven games. He posted a career-high 44 against the Nets and had back-to-back 42-point games against the Lakers and Suns. Larry Bird was the last Celtic to accomplish that feat in 1987. Pierce is finally starting to get the recognition he deserves, and he'll be the first to tell you he'd rather be remembered for his basketball shooting than his September stabbing. But despite Pierce's great attitude and desire to move on, the scars from last fall still remain, and nightmares can return on any night. We, on the outside, don't have to look at those scares every morning or remember what it was like to be attacked out of the blue. Paul Pierce always will. He didn't have the time or desire to worry about it, though, and because of the way he fought back, he's now playing the best basketball of his life. Pierce's survival, perseverance and progress should be an inspiration to everyone. And if he's not worthy to be comeback player of the year, I don't know who is. Hanni is a Topeka junior in Broadcast 81 Junior linebacker Marcus Rogers, left, runs drills with his teammates yesterday on the KU practice field. Rogers was chosen as me team's co-captain for the upcoming season. Photo by Aaron Showalter/KANSAN KANSAN.COM/SPORTS Linebacker guides team By Jeff Denton sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Senior middle linebacker Marcus Rogers gathered his teammates in a 9-on-7 drill during yesterday's practice. As he began to bark instructions, six pair of eyes were locked on the on-co-captain. They appeared not to blink until Rogers was finished talking. "Marcus is a good football player," coach Terry Allen said. "After being elected captain, he's warmed to the leadership role." Leading by performance has never been an issue for the 6-foot-1, 235pounder. He started every game from his spot in the middle last season. Playing in front of his friends and family, the Dallas native flourished in the season opener against Southern Methodist with a career-high 13 tackles. In the October match-up with Missouri, Rogers' 11-tackle afternoon helped him earn the Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week Award. This time last year, Rogers was expected to make plays. Anything more would have been a plus. A year later, he is expected to lead the Jayhawks' defense. Anything less would be a disappointment. "I am proud that the younger players have the respect to choose me as a co-captain," Rogers said. "I want to fulfill that role. It's my job to lead this team; it's my responsibility." New linebacker coach Johnny Barr has been around the game of football most of his life, but has only been in Lawrence since late last week. As an evaluator of defensive talent, Barr is excited about the potential of his new players. He likes how the linebackers respond to his intensity, and he appreciates how they react to his instruction and benefit from his discipline. He raves about everyone's willingness to learn — but not only from himself. Their guide to improvement was in place before he got there. "If you can reach a guy like Marcus, then enough guys will follow," Barr said. "I'm still learning about him, and he's still learning about me. But I see in Marcus that he wants to be really good. He wants to be one of my best." Rogers is more intent on team improvement than individual gain. One of Kansas' most glaring defensive weaknesses last season was stopping the run. Nebraska steamrolled for seven touchdowns. Texas stamped Kansas for 396 yards. Two Iowa State backs crossed the century mark in rushing yards before the start of the fourth quarter. "Our No. 1 objective will be to stop the run," Barr said. "But you need to have guys that want to be physical. Winning teams have guys that are physical." Barr knows that numbers like these cannot be repeated. Toughness leads to stops which keeps the defense fresh, he said. Winning teams negate the opponent's running game. Winning teams also have forces in the middle. "Marcus will be the key player in the success of our defense next season," Allen said. Football notes: Wounded birds: Several Jayhawks sat out yesterday's practice because of injuries suffered in Saturday's scrimmage. Of all those injured, coach Allen thinks that the guys working hard to earn playing time will be most affected. Offensive lineman Jason Stevenson was on crutches yesterday, nursing a high ankle sprain. Junior receiver Byron Gasaway was hampered by turf toe, the latest condition of nagging injuries that have plagued the athlete since his arrival to Lawrence. — Edited by Jennifer Valadez Golfer gets good news Hurst named Golf World's player of week By John Domoney sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter The junior from Erie, Kan., was a two-time state champi- on in high school.

Kansas didn't recruit Hurst out of high school, so he competed at the community college level in the Jayhawk Conference. He may have never ended up at Kansas if Randall had not been told about the diamond in the rough. "I was surprised because I hadn't been playing well all semester," Hurst said. "Lately, I've changed a few things, and I've hit the ball better." Hurst said the beginning of the season was rocky after coming to a new school and team, but he has rebounded nicely and has become one of the Jayhawks' most dependable performers. "I saw him play at Alvamar a couple of times," Randall said. "One of my former players told me I needed to be recruiting Travis Hurst." While at a junior college tournament in Lawrence last year, Randall took Hurst into his office and invited him to join the team. As a junior, Hurst has garnered five top-10 finishes, making him the team leader along with sophomore Chris Marshall. Hurst also has finished in first-place ties at both the Purina Classic and the Stevinson Ranch Invitational. Hurst has done more than just make the team, and he is ready to tackle the 'Hawks last tournament at the Intercollegiate 2001 this weekend in Chapel Hill, N.C. The Jayhawks will then enter the Big 12 Conference Championship. "I've surpassed all of my expectations this year, and I had no idea I'd come in and do this well," Hurst said. "I just wanted to make the team and stay on the team." "Myself and everybody else on the team really want to win Big 12s," Hurst said. "I really want one of those rings."

"It was a great trip home on Sunday. During our streak we weren't having any fun, and we had been pressing. But Sunday we didn't press and just enjoyed playing the game." The Kansas baseball team's 5-2 victory at Texas A&M Sunday allowed the players to experience something they had not felt in quite a while. After breaking their 10-game losing streak, senior Brent Del Chiaro noticed a quality about himself and his teammates. They were smiling, and they were having fun. Kansas' victory at Olsen Field on Sunday drew more than 4,000 fans and More information For baseball statistics See page 3B the combined attendance for the weekend series was 15,007. Del Chiaro said playing and winning in front of so many fans was fulfilling. "The older guys on the team enjoyed playing in front of a big crowd," Del Chiaro said. "It was great to win in a hostile environment, and I think it was important for the younger guys to get that experience because we're going to see that again at Texas Tech." Kansas (14-18 overall and 2-13 in the Big 12 Conference) will look to build off its victory when the Jayhawks take on Creighton (13-17 overall and 6-10 in the Missouri Valley Conference) at 2:30 p.m. today in Omaha, Neb. To beat the Bluejays, Kansas coach Bobby Randall said the Jayhawks would have to put together another game like the one on Sunday. Randall described Sunday's performance as an example of how the coaching staff envisioned Kansas playing this season. "We played a full game on Sunday," Randall said. "Doug Lantz pitched a fantastic game, we got great clutch hitting from John Nelson and Ryan Klocksien, and we didn't make any errors. I'd still like to cut down on the strikeouts (15 in Sunday's game), but we managed to get around that." Klocksien's performance against the Aggies on Sunday looked quite extreme in the box score. Klocksien was one for five with a home run, 2 RBI and four strikeouts. Klocksien's two-run home run in the seventh put the game away. "I was kind of tentative at the plate so I guess Coach decided to put on the hit-and-run," Klocksien said. "I just relaxed and hit a fastball out to left." Last season in Lawrence, Creighton swept three games from the Jayhawks, qualified for the NCAA tournament and posted 38 victories. But the Bluejays are suffering a disappointing 2001 season thusfar and bring a 13-17 record into today's game. Coach Jack Dahm's squad won three out of four games against Southern Illinois this past weekend and played No. 5 Nebraska tough in a 14-9 loss last Wednesday. Despite Creighton's record, Klocksien said the Jayhawks can't afford to take Creighton lightly tomorrow if they want to start a winning streak. "We've got to come out ready to play tomorrow," Klocksien said. "Creighton's a good team, so we need to be at our best. It would be great to put some wins together." Baseball notes - Starting pitchers for both teams in today's game had not yet been announced. today's game had not yet been announced. Senior left fielder Dou Dreher is still listed as being out indefinitely with torn ligaments in his left wrist. Dreher has yet to return to practice but has stayed optimistic. "It's feeling better," Dreher said. "I don't know if I'll be able to come back yet, but I'm going to try." Four players on Kansas' roster, Pete and Chris Smart, Jason Appuhn and Kevin Wheeler, played high school baseball in Omaha. Senior Jesse Gremminger is in the midst of a 13 game hitting streak. His streak is the longest for any Jayhawk player this season. Edited by Melinda Weaver --- 2B Quick Looks Tuesday April 10,2001 HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (April 10). Ever been to Tahiti? Bora Bora?

A M KANSAS BASKETBALL Collison's right elbow requires minor surgery Kansas sophomore forward Nick Collison will have surgery on his right elbow to alleviate bursitis — a fluid build-up in the joint. The bursitis was caused by repeated physical contact throughout this season when Collison averaged 14 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. He will have to wear a sling on his right arm for up to two days after the surgery to reduce movement in the elbow and then will not be able to undergo off-season workouts for two weeks. The injury did not slow Collison's play during the season but he said he was looking forward to eliminating the problem anyway. — Chris Wristen "It will be nice to have it over with," Collison said. "It's just a minor surgery, and it should get rid of the swelling in my elbow."

NASCAR Earnhardt accident under investigation Few details of the accident review were released yesterday in a conference call by NASCAR. A representative read a statement from president Mike Helton and no questions were allowed V R "Everyone involved in this process is committed to a sense of urgency, but we must also move forward in a thorough, careful and complete manner." Helton's statement said. "We feel that only through a complete review ... can we have a comprehensive understanding based on solid, factual information and data, even if it takes longer to obtain than we would like." The seven-time Winston Cup champion was killed in a crash on the final turn of the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18. In a news conference a week later, Helton said a seat belt broke in Earnhardt's car. NASCAR has commissioned an accident reconstruction review into the death of Dale Earnhardt but doesn't expect to know exactly what happened in the wreck until August. Speedway physician Steve Bohannon, one of the emergency-room doctors who worked on Earnhardt after the crash, said he thought the faulty belt allowed Earnhardt's head to strike the steering wheel of his Chevrolet. The force of the blow cracked the base of his skull and caused massive head injuries. Bohannon said. Helton said yesterday the accident review was still looking into the broken seat belt, which the sanctioning body said it had never seen before Earnhardt's accident.

The three-time Super Bowl champion announced his retirement at a news conference yesterday at Texas Stadium, where terday at Texas Stadium, where he .stored "You watch and you think that your time will never DALLAS COTTON come," said Alkman, fighting back tears as he announced his plans. "My time has come." Aikman suffered four concussions in his last 20 starts — giving him 10 in his career — and has a degenerative back problem. "I know it's the right thing. I know it's the right thing for me because of my health, concussions, the back problems I've had — it took its toll," he said. Alkman said the competitor in him wanted to continue, but he said his family weighed in his decision. "This man has touched us all and for that we're grateful." Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in introducing Alkman. "You watch and you think that your time will never come. My time has come." Troy Aikman Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Aikman said last week he was trying to choose between pursuing a job as a starting quarterback in the NFL or moving into a broadcast booth. He'll likely make the transition to TV, with Fox the front-runner to hire him. The 34-year-old Aikman's future has been in limbo since he was waived by the Cowboys on March 7, a day before he was due a $7 million bonus and seven-year contract extension. Alkman set nearly every team passing record and was among the best postseason quarterbacks in NFL history. But he missed five games last season because of injuries and was knocked out of three more, all in the first quarter. When he played, Aikman lacked his trademark arm strength and accuracy, sinking him to the worst QB rating among NFC starters. Aikman said last week that his back was his greatest concern. Some fans have wanted Alkman to walk away since his concussions began adding up. While he feared the long-term implications of the head injuries, Alkman never flinched. He went out believing he could remain healthy and productive. After a few weeks of looking around the NFL for openings, Aikman told his agent, Leigh Steinberg, he was finally ready to listen to job offers from the broadcast networks that had been after him for years. Aikman did color commentary on NFL Europe games for Fox two years ago. He enjoyed the experience more than he expected and received rave reviews. Fox is looking for a game analyst to replace Matt Millen, who joined the Detroit Lions as president and CEO. ESPN also has an opening because NFL 2Night studio analyst Marty Schottenheimer left to coach the Washington Redskins. Aikman will still take up $10 million of Dallas' $67.4 million salary cap this season. Tony Banks recently signed a $500,000, one-year contract to replace him as the starter on a team that went 5-11 last season. --- Over 10 toppings to choose from!!!
