International students must adjust to laws about alcohol
By Michelle Ward

Kansas staff writer
Kazumi Maniwa is puzzled by American alcohol laws.
She is one of many international students used to lax drinking laws in their home countries surprised to find out that Americans check IDs at bars and liquor stores.
When Maniwa, Izumo, Japan, graduate student, found out alcohol laws were stringently enforced, she thought it was a rule only in Kansas. She said she thought places like New York and California couldn't possibly follow such a strict policy.
"This is a country based on freedom," she said. "At least in Japan, we can have a drink when we want. People think Japan is very strict and controlling, but even it's legal age is 18."
Maniwa said she was never carded at bars or liquor stores in Japan, and that in high school, she would even have an occasional glass of wine or beer with her parents.
But restrictions on alcohol have a long history in the United States, said Richard Schur, visiting assistant professor.

He said this level of acceptance didn't exist in America.
Prohibition was an obvious example, he said. The 18th Amendment took away brewers' and distillers' licenses in 1919, but was repealed in 1933 by the 22nd Amendment.
"People have traditionally tried to eradicate alcohol and drugs in this country." Schur said.
The drinking age was raised from 18 to 21 after

a federal mandate in the late 1970s to the early 1980s. To receive federal money to construct and improve roads, states had to enact the 21-year-old drinking age.
The federal government did this in part to cut down on drunk driving fatalities, Schur said. He grew up in Illinois where people had to be 21 to drink. But next door in Wisconsin 18-year-olds could legally drink.
cancer's note: This is the first in a series of stories about the way international students view American culture.
High school students would drive a couple of hours to get drunk at bars in Wisconsin and drive home drunk, Schur said.
Livia Theodoro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, freshman, said there were just too many rules about alcohol in the United States. She said its forbidden nature led to young people's abuse of alcohol.
Although the legal drinking age is 18 in Brazil, no one enforces it, and bars and liquor stores do not check IDs, Theodoro said. She said drinking was much more acceptable at home, and young people would often have a glass of wine with dinner. American students approach drinking differently than people from home, Theodoro said.
"They drink much more than Brazilians," she said. "Students here drink to get wasted. Brazilians socially drink."
And although Theodoro, who is 18,
doesn't drink, Matif Lajid, Peshawar,
Pakistan, senior, has taken a cup or two
from the keg. But he said Americans
drank too much.
"I have seen a lot of house parties where people just sit around the keg and get drunk," he said.
Growing up, he spent several summers in Europe, and became accustomed to their lax alcohol laws. He had never been carded until he came to the United States. It took him about a year to adjust to the laws on alcohol.
"I was surprised when they checked my ID for the first time," he said. "I had been used to sitting down at a bar and ordering anything."

Festival to help find 6-year-old child
Girl's mother says she is in Indonesia

Kanson staff writer
Tara Budiman and Tammy O'Shields are a Lawrence couple who have looked for Tara's daughter Miranda for two and a half years.
Tara says her ex-husband Iwan Budiman kidnapped Miranda when the girl was four, and Tara believes he has been holding the child in Indonesia. But so far, private investigators, calls to his family and an international crime alert from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation haven't brought Miranda home.
Sharon Sullivan, KU lecturer in theater and film and women's studies, is among
faculty and students who have organized the Miranda Film Festival to raise money to help the couple find Miranda.
The festival will present five lesbian films from 3 p.m. to midnight Saturday at 3199 Wescoe Hall. The Miranda Film Festival is free and open to the public, Sullivan said, but donations are appreciated.
Sullivan became interested in Miranda's story through Christine Robinson, graduate teaching assistant in Western Civilization and women's studies. Sullivan and Robinson organized The Vagina Monologues and invited Budiman and O'Shields to have a bake sale at the show to raise money for their search. But Sullivan said she wanted to do more and latched onto the idea of a film festival.
The four women will also be speaking at 6 p.m.tonight on KJHK's Real Talk radio show
Budiman said she hadn't seen Miranda

Hispanic conference leads teens on collegiate path
By Danny Phillips

Kansan staff writer
Area junior high and high school students were encouraged at every turn to pursue their education yesterday at the Hispanic American Leadership Organization's first student conference.
The conference, called "Cruzando El Puente (Crossing the Bridge): Taking the Next Step," served 80 students from the Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City areas. They perused the Kansas Union, listened
to keynote speakers and attended workshops.
Eulalio Munoz, co-chair and Topeka sophomore, said the goal of the Hispanic leadership conference was to get across to students the importance of finishing high school and continuing their education beyond that.
"The younger you can get the message to them, the better," he said.
Munoz's co-coordinator, Belinda Hinojos, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said Hispanic students have the highest attrition rate of any group. Nationally, the
dropout rate among males is 32 percent and 21 percent among females.
"That's horrible," Hinojos said. "It doesn't matter if we're big in numbers if we're not educated."
The conference's workshop sessions dealt with subjects ranging from college scholarship ties to what it meant to be a Latino.
Robert Rodriguez, KU academic services coordinator, gave a multimedia presentation that explained the intricacies of Latino diversity.
Keynote speaker Luis Cordova, social worker and substance abuse counselor.
concluded the conference by challenging the students to make education a higher priority than their friends and social lives.
He said a "real man" didn't think about getting high and having sex all the time, and he told the females not to place their trust in men.
Ending on a positive note, Cordova said the key for young people was to begin thinking about each other as valuable.
"If you don't see hope, then something is wrong," he said.

Legislature struggles to balance budget
TOPEKA — Legislative negotiators struggled yesterday to finish the outlines of a plan for balancing revenue and spending in the new state budget, with some urging more flexibility from Gov. Bill Graves.
Graves has proposed $117.6 million in tax increases and given legislators a list of reductions, totaling $12.1 million, he would accept in appropriations already approved for the new fiscal year.
House and Senate negotiators are trying to close a $206 million gap between expected revenues and approved spending for the state's 2002 fiscal year, which starts July 1.
Graves has threatened to veto any plan that cuts too deeply into state programs.
"If the governor wants to make progress on this budget, I would hope he would be a little more reasonable," Rep. Rocky Nichols, D-Topeka, said yesterday during the budget talks.
Budget Director Duane Goossen said the state has held down spending on general government during the past two years to make spending increases for education, transportation and social services possible. The governor's list maintains those spending commitments.

New evidence supports Big Bang explanation
WASHINGTON — Key elements of theories about how the universe expanded and developed after the Big Bang have been confirmed by data from high-flying balloons and from instruments operating in Antarctica, scientists sav.
The instruments, looking deep into the universe, were able to detect minute ripples and distortions in energy patterns within the cosmic microwave background, a faint glow left over from the immense heat of the Big Bang.
Readings from the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer at the Center for Astrophysical Research in Antarctica show tiny distortions in the distribution of matter and variations in tempera-
ure just moments after the Big Bang.
A concept, called the inflation theory, holds that these irregularities, enlarging over time, led to the formation of all the big structures in the universe — galaxies, stars and planets.
FBI and Black agents agree to settlement
WASHINGTON — A federal judge approved a settlement yesterday between the FBI and African American agents who complained of racial discrimination in promotions.
The settlement calls for the FBI to establish a new promotions system by 2003. African American agents alleged that under the old system, they were unable to get supervisory jobs.
Under the agreement approved by U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan, black agents who believe their careers have been harmed can take their cases to an outside mediator and, if they prevail, can win back pay, attorney's fees and up to $300,000 in compensatory damages.
The settlement comes eight years after the FBI first agreed to change its personnel practices, following a 1991 lawsuit filed by African American agents who alleged that the bureau's system of evaluating agents for promotions was discriminatory.
Illegal immigrants apply for residency
NEW YORK — Illegal immigrants across the country turned out in extraordinary numbers and stood in line for hours, trying to beat yesterday's deadline for applying for legal residency under a new federal law.
In Albuquerque, N.M., they camped overnight outside the Immigration and Naturalization Service office. In Charlotte, N.C., parents hoisted infants in their arms in a line snaking around a building.
In Philadelphia, they marched into a truck, where application photos were taken assembly-line style. And in New York, about 500 people lined up to file applications.
The Legal Immigration and Family Equity Act, which took effect in December, will allow about 640,000 illegal immigrants to seek green cards without first
returning to their home countries. Most illegal immigrants who leave the United States are barred from re-entering for up to 10 years.
To apply, an immigrant must be sponsored by an employer or by a close relative who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
Space tourist arrives safely at space station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A Russian spacecraft carrying California millionaire Dennis Tito pulled up to the international space station yesterday, within hours of space shuttle Endeavour's departure.
The Soyuz capsule docked just before 4 a.m., ending a two-day journey that began in Kazakstan. NASA broadcast the 245-mile-high link-up, using the gray and grainy images provided by Russian Mission Control. The Soyuz — Tito's taxi — made its slow approach with Russian cosmonaut Talgat Musabayev at the controls.
A Russian flight controller asked how Tito, the world's first space tourist, was doing.
"He's doing fine," Musabayev replied.
The Soyuz's arrival marked the beginning of six days of anxious monitoring by NASA, who opposed Tito's visit for months on safety grounds and capitulated just last week.
Protesters delay start of military exercises
VIEQUES, Puerto Rico — A U.S. Navy cruiser and fighter jet blasted a firing range yesterday in military exercises that were delayed for hours as officials scoured the area for protesters putting themselves in the line of fire.
Lt. Jeff Gordon, a navy spokesman, said no protesters were found on the range on Puerto Rico's Vieces island and that, once the all-clear was given, maneuvers began at 1 p.m., four hours after their planned start.
A protest leader, however, said some activists might still be on the range. Between 40 and 60 protesters infiltrated the fenced-off training ground earlier yesterday. Robert Rabin said.
A total of 136 protesters have been arrested for trespassing on the range in an effort to halt the shelling, which began Friday.

KU prof says some dinos had feathers
By Amy Rendolph and Scott Smith
Specialists to the Kansas
Birds and dinosaurs may be more closely related than most people think.
At least that's what Richard Prum, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, says in his latest article in Nature magazine. Prum, curator of ornithology at the Natural History Museum, concluded that birds descended from dinosaurs.
from dinosaurs.
Based on evidence from his discoveries, he said the velociraptors in Jurassic Park probably would have had fuzzy feathers covering their bodies.
135.
"I don't know if those things had had feathers if Spielberg would have picked those particular dinosaurs," Prum said. "They probably would have looked like large, amusing bird chicks and a lot less dangerous."
For centuries, scientists have debated the evolution of feathers and whether birds were related to dinosaurs, he said.
"People would create theories about why feathers were needed, such as for flight, and then create a feather to fit that mold," Prum said. "No one really had any evidence to support any of the theories, though."
Prum found evidence of feather-like structures in the fossils of a dinosaur called Sinornithosaurus in research he conducted in Beijing, China, last May.
After studying the fossils, he discovered that "dino-fuzz," or the shaded area around the imprints of the bones, contained branched structures, which resembled traditional feathers.
"This discovery shows that feathers evolved early on in the history of therapod c dinosaurs long before the origin of birds and just as importantly, long before the origin of avian, or bird, flight," Prum said. "We know now that feathers are not synonymous with birds and that feathers had origins long before birds were flying."
Because the feather-like structures were found on dinosaurs known not to fly, the theories that feathers evolved for flight have been disproved, Prum said.
I'm said. But other scientists are not as convinced
Burrow set himself Larry Martin, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and curator of fossil vertebrates at the Natural History Museum. said there wasn't enough evidence to conclude that birds evolved from dinosaurs.
"The article by Professor Prum and others is an attempt to provide additional evidence for feather structure in these things," Martin said. "Unfortunately, the evidence that they give, including their rather excellent photos, is more supportive of a competing interpretation of these structures, and that is that they are collagen fibers situated under the skin rather than on it."
Prum said debate about the evolution of birds should cease.
"Sometimes there aren't two sides to everything," he said. "No one debates whether the Earth is round, it just is. These dinosaurs had feathers, there's no question about it."
Prum said two issues would evolve from this discovery.
"I think it will open the eyes of paleontologists to examine the diversity of feathers because birds have different feathers on different parts of their bodies," he said. "Now, the whole issue of dinosaurs and birds has to be re-evaluated as well."
Prum's interest in feathers and birds took off when he was 10 years old, and he's spent his life studying the shapes and purposes of feathers. He started studying dinosaurs in his spare time.
"I just started looking at fossils as a sort of hobby because they were intriguing and fun." Prum said. He traveled to Beijing to present a paper discussing the morphology, or study of the biological shape, of feathers.
"The whole paper came together really fast." Prum said. "In May I'm presenting a paper about a theory, then the next March a whole new article is published with evidence to back it up."
The discovery could change the way people look at dinosaurs from now on.
"Maybe someday they'll have a featherized DVD version of Jurassic Park," Prum said.

Nontraditional style aids students understanding

Janet Robinson knows there's more to teaching than handing out grades.
"I know when I give a student a grade, it's not the whole story," said Robinson, assistant professor of chemistry. "Students aren't monolithic. No number represents a student's learning."
Robinson said she worked at improving the students' understanding of chemistry.
"I am trying to give students as much opportunity to learn in their own way," she said.

Sherry Warren, Lawrence senior, took chemistry from Robinson and praised Robinson's approach to lecturing.
She started including essay questions on her chemistry tests and questions in which students draw chemistry concepts instead of answering multiple choice questions.
"I'really like her style," she said. "I'really was impressed that someone just did
n'tstand there and drone on and on."
Robinson created the chemistry department's first course that taught chemistry graduate teaching assistants how to teach more effectively.
She said the relationship between the student and GTA was important because students often had more personal contact with GTAs than with chemistry professors.

Lied Center trumpets new season's array of programs
By Sarah Smashi writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
The French mini-series, French Connections, will explore French culture in France, Canada, Louisiana and Cambodia. The project will kick off with BeauSoleil, a Cajun dance band from Louisiana that combines old world ballads, jazz and blues with the cultural journey of Acadian people.
The Lied Center has announced the lineup for its 2001-2002 season, offering a combination of well-known musical and dance performances such as Stomp along with French-themed works new to the community.
Karen Christillies, public relations director for the Lied Center, said that the French project seeks to connect local communities with their French heritage and to examine the link between art and cultural development.
"We're looking at artists who feel the work they're doing is influenced by their culture," she said.
Other featured artists showcasing French culture will include Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon's Orfeo from Quebec, the Lyon Opera Ballet from France and Dance, the Spirit of Cambodia with the Royal Singers and Dancers of Cambodia.
The line-up for the Lied Center's ninth season, which begins in August, will also include returning favorites such as the popular nontraditional percussion ensemble Stomp, My Fair Lady and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra.
Season tickets for 2001-2002 are now available at the Lied Center box office.

Concrete canoe floats to fourth at regional competition
Toga-wearing crew uses Poseidon theme, wins "nudity award"
By Sarah Warren

Kansan staff writer
Driving down to Fayetteville, Ark. Thursday morning, the Kansas concrete canoe team thought that togas and a Greek god would place them first in the Midwest among the concrete canoe community.
Instead, the 14 traveling members of the team placed in the middle of the pack — fourth out of eight teams.
Renee Scholz, Atchison senior in her third year on the team, said placing that high in the competition was a great accomplishment for the team.
"Two of the schools out of our region are going to nationals." Scholz said. "So, for us to get fourth at our regionals is very good."
Arkansas. When they reached the competition at a lake just outside of Fayetteville, they unpacked their canoe and revealed their theme Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.
that morning the team loaded into two vans, hitched up a trailer holding their precious canoe to a beat up Suburban and headed down to
"We were very theme oriented," Scholz said. "We wore togas for the presentation and the display parts of the competition."
The theme even permeated the boat as Scholz's father, who occasionally does auto body paint jobs, painted the boat various shades of blue, fading from dark at the bottom of the canoe to a light blue above the waterline.
Jennifer Gunby, Roeland Parkjunior, said that the theme even won them an extra award — one given out after the presentations and display, the day before the boats hit the water for the racing section of the competition.
"The night before the canoe race we got the nudity award because of our togas." Gunby said. "That was interesting."
Oklahoma State University took first place in the competition. Oklahoma University took second and Kansas State picked up third. For their boat and brain work, the Kansas team
placed third in both the display and presentation sections of the competition and placed fourth in both the paper they wrote about the experiment and in the actual race event, adding up to fourth place overall.

However, Gunby said, the atmosphere was not as fierce as it seemed.
"It it was completely friendly, there were always compliments on the boats and we spent our entire time cheering for the other teams racing," Gunby said. "Except when we were racing,
were in the finals in every one of the races," Scholz said. "But it's kind of a game of who can get more money from industry," Scholz said. "One of their goals for next year is to hit up some of the corporate sponsors."
Gunby said she wished the project, which begins every October, wouldn't end so abruptly next year.
"It was a bit depressing during the race because we put so much work into it and then it was just over." Gunny said. "I'll do it again next year, you can't not do it again, because it's just so amazing."

Faith integral to philosophy and science
I've been fairly amused at the thumping some of my Christian colleagues have been taking on the Kansan opinion page as of late. Although I am a Christian, I tend not to wear my faith on my forehead (or my T-shirt or my bumper), and I always find it interesting to watch other people explain their particular belief systems.
their participation. However, I've noticed that lately my fellow Christians seem to be perpetually on the defensive, and in the process of defending the faith are unable to mount an effective critique of their critics' cherished notions of the twin monoliths of science and philosophy.
Apparently, Christianity is no longer relevant because it doesn't explain "reality"
very well. It also seems that those who continue to hold on to Christianity do so only because they need faith in a deity to provide them with security and a system of morals that is provided better by science and philosophy. However, upon closer inspection, science and philosophy may not be quite as clairvoyant as they seem, and may in fact require greater leaps of faith than religion.

Robert Chamberlain columnist opinion@ansan.com
In Christianity, God creates the universe.
There is no antecedent to God; God is without roots. In astronomy, the universe is without roots.
Maybe someone from Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics can tell me what the universe was like when it was less than 10 to the -46th power seconds old and why it suddenly popped into existence. Actually, maybe they should tell the physics department, too.
Word on the street has it that the universe was both infinitely hot and infinitely dense, and that there is a lot of dark matter. And a mysterious "Fifth Force." It seems to me that both "belief systems" have creation stories that require a little faith to believe in them.
Furthermore, science is continually evolving. Most of us have chuckled to ourselves at one time or another about the silly things our ancestors used to believe. It is supremely arrogant to believe that our descendants will not also chuckle about us.
That being the case, it seems almost fool-hardy to be informed of the truth by a system of "facts" that are simply waiting to be proven wrong.
proven work
Religion tells us that people have souls.
Philosophy rephrases the concept into the "mind-body" problem.
Maybe some atheist out there can explain why I'm myself, and where I can find my selfhood in my body. If my selfhood is immaterial, perhaps someone can tell me how it causally interacts with the material world.
causally interacts with the maker has worked. In fact, while we're at it, perhaps someone can philosophically justify the existence of an external world at all. It seems to me that a belief system grounded in "reality" would at least be able to prove that such a thing existed.
If you come up with an answer, drop by the third floor of Wescoe Hall. I'm sure the philosophy department will be glad to hear that someone finally solved the skeptical problem.
tent:
Christianity espouses a system of morals based on man's relationship with God. Philosophy offers us several competing moral systems, each of which is riddled with holes. In fact, it may be the case that there is no such thing as a totally philosophically justified theory of morals.
It seems to take a pretty big leap of faith to trust a system to yield answers when the system itself is arguably incapable of doing so
this is not to discredit science and philosophy, which give us neat things, such as penicillin and PlayStation 2. It is merely to observe that both the guitar-strumming bearded Christian and the black, turtleneck-wearing, coffeehouse Nietzsche buff both understand their reality in terms of faith, not knowledge.
so notore people smugly pat themselves on the back for rejecting silly, outmold religious systems, they would do well to ask what it is that we've chosen instead. We may turn out to be much less clever than we feel.

True diversity includes several minority groups
For all I've been hearing about minorities on campus these days, it's surprising how few people understand what a minority is.
Both coalitions in the Student Senate race made minority recruitment and retention central to their platforms. Recent protests by the Black Student Union against this very newspaper have drawn attention to minority coverage
But what is a "minority." exactly?
If one listened to the BSU, or the Senate coalitions, you'd basically get one answer: minorities are African Americans. Indeed, the whole "minority-majority" divide of this campus has been reduced to a simple. Black White continue...
A nice, simple answer. And a totally incorrect one. There may be more African-American students on campus than some other minority students, but that doesn't discount the presence of other demeaned groups.

took place during Queer folks have traditionally been an important part of KU and Lawrence life. The University even has a part-time resource coordinator for lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgendered people. I didn't see Delta Force or the VOICE coalition make increasing enrollment and retention of queer students a cornerstone of their platforms.
KU and Lawrence Pride Week 2001, sponsored by Queers and Allies, just wrapped up (and yes, traces of bias present here are probably because I'm the historian for the group), for example. Nearly 1,000 people were served by the various events and performances that took place during the week.
much it can do to directly recruit students based on sexual orientation, and how much it can ask them in surveys.
it's easy to hide behind how the federal government doesn't include queer people as part of the official diversity roster. The University is, to a certain legal extent, limited in how
Let's face it: It's so much easier to just look at skin color. An administrator or student senator knows for sure when an African-American student complains that a "real" minority is speaking. It's so much harder to imagine that minority students might actually be hiding in the crowd of blank White Kansas faces.
But the difficulty of the task doesn't make retaining queer students any less important. It doesn't make crafting a campus that's open and accepting to all people any less important. And it doesn't make concentrating on easily definable diversity any less contemptible.
How many hate crimes and tragedies of harassment and abuse against queer students does it take before we can be included as part of the "divere campus" touted in University brochures? How much more evidence does it take to show that queer folks are indeed recognized as a legitimate minority group by many in the campus community? If 400 students turn out in front of the Kansas Union on a Friday morning to watch drag queens, doesn't that simplify something?
I am only touching on the problem, of course. Queer students are one of many diverse groups that are ignored or only given token appreciation. What about the Asian students, the graduate students, the Jewish students, the Hispanic students, the Muslim students or any of the other groups that are excluded when the "diversity problem" is cast in strictly African-American and Caucasian terms?
It's time for the student and administrative leaders at the University to reconsider the concept of diversity from the ground up. Who has been left out? Who could be served better? And why are we all so scared of working to include students that could make the University of Kansas a model institution?
We are constrained only by our own prejudices and fears.

Editorial
Legislators should OK tax increase
Lawmakers must keep students in mind instead of blindly slashing taxes.
Earlier this year, Gov. Bill Graves recommended cutting the University of Kansas' budget, including millions of dollars earmarked for technology.
Two weeks ago, Graves made a wise choice: He decided to leave in the technology matching funds. He also recommended giving money to the University and other Board of Regents schools to help offset outrageous utility bills.
But last week, state legislators rejected Graves' recommended KU budget subsidy. In doing so, they have prolonged the University's worsening budget woes.
Legislators should have followed these recommendations simply for the sake of keeping the universities afloat in tight times. But because the additional money probably would have spawned a tax hike, legislators struck down Graves' proposal.
So Graves created a compromise; he proposed raising the state sales tax from 4.9 to 5.1 percent. Some of the revenue generated from that would aid universities and public schools.
Legislators should approve this small increase. Obviously, the state has limited options when dealing with a budget shortfall of this severity. Lawmakers can either decrease funding to vital programs such as education or they can increase revenue by raising taxes — something they hate doing because so many of them have kept their seats by blindly slashing taxes.
Graves has found a logical compromise to satisfy miserly lawmakers, as well as the institutions of higher education crying out for relief.
The quality of education in Kansas must not suffer, but taking a hard-line approach with legislators who won't budge will not solve the state's budget problems.
Moreover, funds such as the technology fee money are critical to making the Regents universities competitive in recruiting and retaining students. And once again, legislators have the opportunity to keep this worthy program alive. They must not stonewall the interests of students any more than they already have.

Letters to the Editor Homosexuality, faith can mix
It is evident that the two major issues facing students right now are pride in one's sexual orientation and religious beliefs. Let me fuse the two.
in my first semester at the University of Kansas, I was looking forward to an exciting freshman year. But being away from home for the first time, I saw it as my chance to break free and admit to myself that I was gay. It was not easy because I was so scared of what others would think of me and what my parents' reactions would be. I slowly told my friends, being very cautious as to their reactions. It was much better than I had expected, but now came the obstacle of telling my parents. This worried me most because my father had a gay son from another marriage and never planned to tell me. Only through some snooping around in letters was I able to find out. My mother was always quick to point out how detestable and immoral a homosexual lifestyle was. Before telling my parents, I made sure I had a strong support group and a place to stay. Fortunately, my parents took it better than I had expected. Of course, they said they were disappointed.
Even after coming out, things weren't much better for me. I was still getting used to the idea that I was gay and learning about the gay community. Contrary to what most gay men say, coming out doesn't solve all your problems. Each night after coming out in December, I would think heavily about how my life was gonna be. What would it be like? Will the man I fall in love with want a family, as if I did? Will my employees be OK with me? These questions bothered me, and I fell into a deep depression. I hid my thoughts about suicide from my friends because I didn't want the attention
decades.
I needed someone to talk to, and my resident assistant was there. I told him my problems, and he suggested that I let God into my heart. I was skeptical because I blamed God for making me gay. But when my RA put his hand on my shoulder and said a prayer for me, something inside me lifted up. I felt this positive energy run throughout my body and I knew it was God. Once my RA left my room, I prayed for God to enter my heart and pick up the Bible and started reading it.
I'm sure many of you think this is an oxymoron. How can there be a gay Christian? It is my belief that God will not punish me for being gay. I know the Bible says homosexuals will burn in hell, but I don't believe that. Why would God punish me for something I have no control of? I know loving another man is a sin, but this is one sin that God died on the cross for.
Since God has come into my life, nothing but positive things have happened. I no longer am depressed, and I'm proud to be who I am. I attend church on Sundays, pray and read the Bible each night. When I look back on the part of my life when I was deeply depressed, I view it as God questioning my faith and making me stronger. I also refer to Psalm 40:1-3.
Fred Phelps and his followers will all burn in hell because they contradict God's words. They don't love their fellow man as they should and judge something they know little about.
I also am grateful to Queers and
Allies for putting on a terrific Pride
Week. You make us proud to be
what we are and encourage diversity,
and that's what God is about.
Being queer is not a choice
Alan Emmons Loveland, Colo., freshman
I am writing in response to Lesliee Dischinger's letter concerning the "sin" of homosexuality ("Homosexuals must combat sin"). Leslee, you seem like a very nice person who is trying to live the life of a true Christian, and I admire you for that — love the sinner, hate the sin. It is obvious from your letter that you do not know any homosexual well or you would know that homosexuality is not a choice. It is now widely believed that its cause is biological. I know several homosexuals. They did not choose to be that way. Who would choose to be shunned and hated by many in society, sometimes including their own parents?
A "sin" is something that a person chooses to do that is immoral. When the Bible was written, it was believed that homosexuals became homosexual through their choices. That is being disproved through scientific research. Is it a sin to be a woman? I had no choice in that, either.
In any case, who is the homosexual hurting by being gay? No one. How can it be a sin to love someone, whether that person is of the same sex or different? Sure you can't reproduce, but with overpopulation rampant in this world already, we don't need any more kids. When the Bible was written, children were needed for economic reasons, among others. Would God want us to populate the world to the extent that it is destroyed?
In my opinion, there needs to be some more sins added to the list. It is a sin to pollute the Earth. It is a sin to have loads of money and not help others. It is a sin to hate someone because of something they cannot help—their race, their sexuality or whatever. It is a sin to beat your wife. It is a sin to beat your kids. It is a sin to not make your kids wear their seat belts. All of these "sins" and many more hurt someone and involve a choice someone makes. Homosexuality is NOT a choice.
Leslee, you seem like a very loving, caring person. But homosexuality cannot be "cured," no matter what someone has told you. If someone told you that heterosexuality were a sin, could you change? Think about it.

Feminists can oppose abortion
I am a woman — and a strong, independent and opinionated one. Oh, and I'm pro-life — totally and completely pro-life. I am a proud member of KU Students for Life — you know, the organization that is simply a bunch of "20 year-old 'pro life' college boys" who run around chanting outdated phrases in support of mothers and their unborn children. A letter in the Kansan ("Anti-abortion 'feminism' ahoax," April 24) claimed that our organization was blindly supportive of women in an attempt to be socially forward. First, let me clear up why KUSFL distributes media from the Feminists for Life organization.
One of the main objectives of our group is to be an outlet for any local or national organization that wishes to provide information to the public. KUSFL, dispensing Feminist for Life information does not mean that we are all feminists, and we do not claim to be. We simply want to provide information from every organization that wishes to use us as a medium.
While I'm on the subject of feminism, I want to pose one question. As a society, how dare we tell a woman that her only choice in an unplanned pregnancy is abortion? How dare we tell a woman that she is not strong enough to carry that child full term and raise it herself or give it to one of the thousands of families waiting to adopt? Many women, when looking for help in the event of an unplanned pregnancy, encounter an abortion industry that is more interested in money than in the welfare of her or her child. The term "child" or "baby" is never even used, replaced instead by the word "it." All that many women are told is that once they get "it" out of their body, their problems will be solved. The reality is that for most of these women, their problems worsen. While the American Psychiatric Association is present dealing with the authentication of Post-Abortion Syndrome, I have no doubt that such a disorder exists. A few months ago, I watched a video that told the stories of a number of women who had abortions. The women struggled to maintain composure as they spoke of uncaring, sometimes brutal, abortionists, feelings of emptiness as they realized they had killed a child and not a fetus and the struggles they encountered when many of them realized they were sterile after the operation.
There is no more anti-feminist statement than the one that says that this society's young women are not strong enough to choose something other than abortion. Having control over one's body is one thing, but murdering a helpless human being is not the answer when a woman's right to control her body is the question. We prolifiers do not consider these women to be "morally depraved" by any means. They are simply young women who have too often been told that there is no other way out for them.
I am thankful for the choice of life — we all should be. After all, we survived abortion, didn't we?

Counterpoint lacks compassion
Justin Henning's opinion in Wednesday's paper about "The death penalty and mentally retarded convicts" strikes me with its apathy and lack of compassion for human life.
First, the headline is open to but one interpretation. "Sympathy isn't a sufficient reason to exempt mentally retarded convicts from execution" implies that the same logic should be applied to other, more common scenarios. For example, it implies that we should not be sympathetic to those suffering from circumstances out of their control. This lengthy list includes the poor, injured, elderly, ill, prisoners of war, refugees, crime victims, slaves, child workers, child prostitutes and numerous others. None chose their situation, yet they suffer. Last time I checked, mentally retarded people were born that way. No one asked them if they wanted those genes, it happened. Is it right to cast aside and ignore those in our society who cannot care for themselves and are suffering?
I am sure some readers are asking, "But what about the criminal's punishment?" It goes without saying that convicted criminals should not be allowed to return to society until they are capable of being a responsible part of it. Proper punishment can help teach and change criminals. However, there are those who will not be able to accept their role in society (mentally retarded criminals) and need to be protected, from themselves and others. And, as Justin pointed out, the mentally retarded probably can't understand the crime or the punishment. So what do we do? Love them.
Love them because they are innocent.
Love them because they are victims,
too. Love them because they are human beings, just like you and me.
Still don't want to be sympathetic Justin? I'm sorry, but I love you and I forgive you.

The problem with the death penalty (besides being pure vengeance and hatred) is twofold: We deny the criminal the chance to repent, and we deny ourselves the chance to love and forgive him or her. We as a society disgrace ourselves for only appreciating the well-to-do or the fortunate. We need to care for and love those least on us. Only then, after we love our enemies and do good to those who have still no counter-suffering.
Watkins alumnae will fight
On behalf of the 300 alumnae members of the Committee for the Preservation of Watkins and Miller Scholarship Halls at the University of Kansas, we want to express our disappointment in our alma mater and outrage at the heavy-handedness used against the women of Watkins in a University-proclaimed "self-governance" environment. We are referring to the Department of Student Housing overturning the residents' selection of hall proctor because of her involvement with the lawsuit against Bank of America.
We are appalled that officials of this institution feel they must resort to the use of intimidation tactics against students who are standing up for a trust they believe has been mishandled (and that, ironically, was endowed by the University's greatest benefactor).
These tactics have escalated as the students have continued to win key victories in court, with the judge raising some of the same questions about the trust's management, including declining income and lack of accounting. Rather than talk with students about their simple requests, Bank of America has dropped settlement talks and hired one of the top 50 law firms in America to fight the students. The University has chosen to take the bank's side, when it could support the students' position and argue that this trust should be managed correctly. These actions reinforce the nagging question: What are the University and Bank of America trying to hide?
Now, in addition to helping the students raise their legal fees, alumnae are raising money to provide a scholarship to compensate this one woman for the job she rightfully earned but was denied. We welcome contributions to the fund for student legal expenses and the proctor scholarship, which may be sent to the committee at P.O. Box 411, Lawrence, KS 66044.

she is far from perfect and hypocritical. People are always going to judge others more harshly than they judge themselves. Jesus never said, "Go out and be perfect." Rather, He wants His followers to strive for perfection, but because He knows they will never get there. He sacrificed His life.
Christians aren't only hvocrites
As a Christian, I must defy my beliefs. I don't view Christianity as a "religion," but a true Christian has a relationship with Jesus Christ. When a person is born again and receives Jesus as Lord, Jesus knows that he or

Christians can come under just as much scrutiny as non-Christians. We live in a world that is very judgmental and sexualized. Christians have to struggle every day to stay true to their faith in the face of temptation. Life is a journey, and Christians are only trying to travel with a guide: Christ.
I am sorry that you think that all Christians are hypocrites. But so is everyone else. There will always be people who wear the cross and quote the Bible but don't live the Christian lifestyle. But to judge all Christians would be like judging a racial group because a few don't live up to expectations. I am a Christian — not a perfect one, but I am trying. And at the end of the day, that is all that counts.
I am sick of people confusing (or confused with) these, the terms graduate teaching assistants and the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition.
GTAs refers to the graduate students who are working as teaching assistants. GTAC is a bunch of GTAs who formed a union. I don't have the official number, but my guess is GTAC comprises a minority of GTAs.
But that's not the point. The point is that I am a GTA but not part of GTAC. I don't want to be part of GTAC. What GTAC wants is not what I want. What I really want is $25,000 a year plus benefits since someone (GTAC supporters) told me that I am just as valuable as the other professors who are teaching here. Why $25,000? I figure a two-bedroom apartment and a new car plus some beer money should get to that total. But the usual rules that apply when hiring professors cannot be applied on me because I know I won't get hired if I am subject to the same requirements. Really, what I am saying is that I might not be as good as the regular professors. Can't say the same about GTAC members, though. If they think that they are underpaid and that the University of Iowa is such a good university for grad students, I have one message for them: Go there. Better yet, go to Harvard or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology because the grad students there get paid and don't have to teach. As far as higher pay for GTAs goes, how about a $200 per semester increase in student fees to fund higher GTA pay? Or cut 100 regular faculty members. That should give GTAs about $2,500 more a year. Want more? Take more money out the undergrads' pocket or cut more regular faculty positions. That way, you can have the people who "really" like teaching to teach undergrads and the undergrads will really like their education because they pay so much more for it. But then there will be fewer faculty members for grad students, so forget the second option if you really want to be a high-quality research institute.
Many GTAs from developing countries live on the money they get from the University and still have money left to send home to support their family members. They really are in need of higher pay. Most of these students are in science fields, and they would have higher pay if not for GTAC's contract terms. A union is a zero-sum game.
Someone's gain must be someone else's loss. I think GTAs deserve higher pay. And if the University and the student body support the idea, then we can go forward. Student support means paying more tuition and fees. If the members of GTAC really think that they are being treated badly, they should rethink the reason they chose to come here. I am sure they have better alternatives, and they should go for those alternatives. There will be other graduate students willing to take their low-paying job at the University. This is a free country. No one forced you to come here, and you should not force the University to pay you more.

God condemns abortion, gays
In light of the numerous articles and letters concerning religious views on abortion and homosexuality in this paper recently, and the variety of perspectives shared, I felt compelled to bring an old perspective into the mix: God's, as clearly outlined in the Bible.
First, let me assure you that I am no better than anyone else—I have sinned just as much as you, and as far as I'm concerned, more. The Bible says, "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Because of this sin, we deserve death and eternity in hell. If you've never heard that, I suggest you actually read that dusty Bible of yours—all of it. We do not read the holy buffet, so there are plenty of references to Scripture here.
First, let's look at abortion. It is murder. Murder is "the unlawful killing of one human being by another, especially when premeditated," according to the dictionary I have. Are God's commands not laws? And what is commanded: "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13); the Hebrew verb refers to a premeditated and deliberate act. Having an abortion is planned. It is also an emotionally traumatic experience; try asking a woman who has had one to see how it affected her. It leaves a lifelong scar of guilt, shame and hurt. Do you think this could be God's plan for our lives? Absolutely not!
As for homosexuality, the Bible makes God's view clear. Is it sin? Absolutely. Why do you think the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed (Genesis 19)? Abraham persuaded God to give them a chance (Genesis 18), but since they did not repent, they served as an example for future generations of what not to do. The Bible makes it very clear:
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drankards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6,9,10).
God expects homosexuals to repent just as much as those involved in any other sin listed above.
I believe that God is appalled by the lack of conviction people have who claim to be following His commands. Many religious people do not know or believe what is so plainly stated in the Book on which their lives ought to be based. There comes a point when we must stop being religious in favor of being righteous. "Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves, do what it says" (James 1:22). Don't get mad at me for showing you something you should already know; just "be earnest and repent."

The image is in grayscale and depicts a woman smiling while holding a dog. The background appears to be a grassy outdoor area with some trees. The focus is on the woman and her pet, conveying a sense of joy and companionship.
Rachel Maaario and her aude dog Hamlet pause while playing in their back yard. The pair, along with Magario's mother Marilene and sister Rebecca, enjoy playing fetch with Hamlet, who gets to remove his working harness when at home.
Student life requires patience and adjustments
Continued from page 1A
blinded. Marilene decided her daughter would receive the best education possible.
"Idecided to dedicate my life to her," Marilene said. "Idecided to be her teacher."
Rachel Magario takes notes using a Lite Braille 40, which she can connect to a laptop computer that can process her notes into text and read them back to her in a computer-synthesized voice.
Rachel still attended school, but Marilene, now 59, taught her at home, too.
She made sure Rachel learned the standard alphabet — she learned Braille in school — and other things that teachers thought Rachel couldn't learn. "People think blind people are different beings," Marilene said. "They think they are insecure, isolated and without education."
She taught her daughter to be independent, taking her to the same places other children went, and telling her nobody with vision was better than she was.
Marilene also taught Rachel not to accept being judged by different standards in school.
"When she was very young, her friends made fun of her because she couldn't climb a wall, so I told her I would go and hold her hand." Marilene said. "She climbed the wall and then told me, I climbed the wall, and that wasn't so difficult."
Rachel said teachers tended to be more lenient with her in preschool and middle school than they were with sighted students.
Sometimes they wouldn't let her do school assignments involving graphics, telling her she wasn't required to do them. She said teachers weren't demanding about her writing and grammar.
"I would try to do things and they wouldn't let me. They would say, 'I exempt you from this, I exempt you from that,' she said.
"But I'm thirsty for knowledge. I like to learn."
Finding the right place
Rachel speaks six languages (her native Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, English, Arabic and Japanese) and plays the guitar and the piano.
Rachel said she decided to study journalism when she was 12. When she told people she wanted to become a journalist, they laughed. Her desire to prove them wrong brought her to a new country.
Rebecca Magario, her sister, said Rachel always had been ready for challenges, prepared to fight to show that she could do what a sighted person does.
Rachel spent her childhood moving from town to town in Brazil because her father worked as an engineer for a multinational company. She had lived in five states in Brazil and in four cities in Chile by age 19.
When it was time to go to college, Rachel was living in Chile. She knew she would need to leave home because Chilean universities wouldn't let her study journalism. Blind students there are limited to studying sociology, education and law.
She started thinking about coming to the United States when she was 10, because she perceived it as a country that helped blind people develop to their full potential. "Here was one of the best countries for disabled people and also professionally," she said.
When Rachel was 19, she won a scholarship offered by the New York-based Institute of International Education.
Four U.S. colleges accepted Rachel, including two in the New York area, where her mom didn't want her to go. "I wanted her to go to a small town," she said.

First challenges
When Marilene received a video and brochures from the University of Kansas, she liked the area and decided Rachel should come to Kansas.
Rachel's experience in the United States started on a sour note. She arrived a day late to an orientation for international students because her mom, who came with her, had a delay in getting her visa. Instead of arriving at Kansas City International airport Saturday afternoon, when International Student Services staff members were waiting for her, Rachel arrived Sunday.
"Nobody was there. My English was bad, and my mother didn't speak English," Rachel said. "But I finally found out that we would need to get a shuttle to go to Lawrence."
Things didn't get better right away.
Rachel spent days and nights crying
She took only three courses her first semes-
inher McCoulton Hall room because she thought she was falling behind in her classes.
"I rarely cry, but I was angered at the way things were going." Robeal said.
Even though the professor wanted to be helpful, Rachel recalled, "I would sit in her office, and I wouldn't understand anything she was saying."
"My English was terrible. I definitely wasn't ready for a big lecture room," Rachel said.
ter— English as a foreign language.
Japanese and environmental science. She said she wasn't prepared for the classes.
Rachel had studied English since childhood but wasn't yet comfortable with classes taught in English. It wasn't just her school work. Another big hurdle was getting around campus.
"I was lucky," she said. "Mike Shuttle would get volunteers to help me during the first two weeks, and
then my friends started to help."
Shuttic, who worked for KU Services for Students with Disabilities and now works at Oklahoma State University, said Rachel was independent and fearless, but unaware of problems disabled students faced.
"Iwould try to do things and they wouldn't let me. They would say, 'I exempt you from this, I exempt you from that.'"
The University and Disabled Students
Rachel Magario Santos, Brazil sophomore
Rachel complains that the University's Services for Students with Disabilities hasn't always done what she asked. Rachel's request to have the University provide shuttle transportation to and from classes was denied.
Lorna Zimmer, director of Services for Students with Disabilities, said her goal wasn't to provide everything disabled students wanted but to provide equal opportunity to them, making them capable of achieving what other students
Zimmer said most KU students would like to have free transportation to campus and that by providing Rachel with the shuttle service, her office would be giving her an unfair advantage. She said it was Rachel's obligation to make sure that her home was on the bus route.
Another of Rachel's pressing needs is getting books on tape.
Rachel doesn't live on the bus route, making it difficult for her to use KU on Wheels. Instead, either Marilene or Rebecca drives her to campus every day.
Rachel couldn't use the University's shuttle transportation service designed for students unable to walk because she was able to ride regular KU on Wheels buses, Zimmer said.
She says the University gives her the tapes only after classes have started, making it harder for her to study and get good grades.
Zimmer said her office tried to work with students, but added that to receive tapes on time, students have to
enroll at the first opportunity and notify her as soon as they enroll. However, Rachel said she does that and still doesn't receive the tapes by the time she needs them. Instead, she relies on her friends.
Sergio Guerra, Mexico City, graduate student, reads books for Rachel during his free time.
"I learn a lot when I help her." Guerra said. "You need to be the link between what is there, the book, and her. She has a lot of potential, but she needs the help."
Hamlet
Another friend Rachel relies on Hamlet, a shiny black Labrador who
has used his brown eyes to guide Rachel since 1998.
Hamlet was trained at Guiding Eyes for the Blind, a non-profit institution in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., that provides the dogs for people who can't afford them.
Guide dogs like Hamlet usually live from 13 to 16 years, but can work an average of only eight years. They are trained for a full year before they are matched with a person. After Hamlet was trained, Rachel went to New York state for training sessions with him.
She was apprehensive at first. "I've never been a doe person," she said.
Although he helps Rachel immeasurably every day, Hamlet is not as intelligent as most people think, Marilene said.
But she needed Hamlet, and it didn't take long for him to grow on her. "I never thought I could love a dog, but I love him," she said.
"He doesn't guide her," she said. "He's a dog. She guides herself. He only makes her avoid hitting things."
Hamlet's natural instincts become clearer when he and Rachel go to the supermarket. Guided by smell, Hamlet always takes Rachel to the dog food section. Almost like a child heading for the candy section, Hamlet is just hungry.
The Accident
Less than a year after coming to Lawrence, SheAHulley suffered a serious setback. She and Hamlet were struck by a car while crossing Jayhawk Boulevard in front of Strong Hall.
"I thought I was going to die," she said.
The first thing Rachel thought about after the car hit her was Hamlet. "I didn't want another car to run over him or me, she said. "So I went to the sidewalk, and he followed me."
Rachel was badly injured. She had two crushed vertebrae and a concussion. Hamlet had internal bleeding and a distention, and also was badly shaken. Because he now associated Rachel
with being hit by a car, he was afraid to be with her and had to be retrained.
Rachel's troubles weren't over. Five months after the accident, she developed a kidney disease she believes resulted from strong medication given to her after the accident.
Brebcca said the semester after Rachel's accident was a nightmare because she couldn't walk, and she received several incompletes in classes.
"She would stay most days in bed, throwing up." Rebecca recalled.
Rachel's kidney problems forced Marilene to leave her husband and son in Brazil to care for Rachel. Now she lives in Lawrence, going home twice a year.
Since Marilene has been here, Rachel has recovered and is learning to adjust to her environment.
When Rachel is at home—a house at the corner of Ohio and 19th streets where she lives with her mother and her sister Rebecca—she moves quickly through the familiar rooms and plays with Hamlet, who wags his tail.
Everyday Life
Rachel's freedom to bound around the house is possible because of a few rules.
Nothing can be left on the floor because Rachel might trip over it. Doors can never be left partially open. Although Rachel can detect if a door is open or closed by air movement, she can't detect if it's partially open, which sometimes causes her to run into doors.
Rachel's closet is carefully organized by her mother so she can pick clothes, which she usually knows by touch. She rarely has to ask if clothes match because she knows them so well.
Marlene does the cooking, cleaning and laundry, allowing her daughters to concentrate on their studies, but she can't read for Rachel or help her with her homework because she can't speak English. To succeed in school, Rachel also needed help from her professors.
Adjusting to School
Charles Marsh, associate professor of journalism and Rachel's adviser, was responsible for getting Rachel the Lite Braille 40 and a laptop with the JAWS software to help her at the school. The device allows her to type notes in Braille and then transfer them to her computer. The computer reads her notes using a program called JAWS, which allows her to listen to a computer-synthesized voice reading her notes in English.
Marsh, who is teaching in Italy this semester, also lets Rachel use his office so she can stay in the School of Journalism between classes, checking her e-mail or talking on the telephone.
Marsh said he respected and admired Rachel. "I think and I hope that I've treated Rachel the way that I treat any other student," Marsh said. "I certainly learn a lot, though, from working with her. If you work with Rachel, you need to be as creative and determined as she is. It's never a case of 'Can we find a solution?' Instead, it's 'What are the possible solutions'?"
Tim Bengtson, who teaches one of Rachel's classes this semester, said he tries to read overheads aloud and to be available to answer her questions.
He also tries to empower her. Rachel was in his office when he got a phone call from a friend visiting Lawrence. The friend asked Bengston if any of his students could give his family a campus tour. Rachel, who was listening to the conversation, offered to show the family around the campus she had never seen.
Bengtson's friend called it one of the best tours he'd ever had.
"They said it was phenomenal," he said. "She knew the campus very well, including the buildings' history.
Looking at the future
Rachel's friends admire her strength. Guerta said Rachel had pursued things that would be difficult for people who see.
"Her blindness is just another challenge. Her perseverance will make her succeed," he said.
Marsh agreed. "I think Rachel will be very successful in some area of professional communications," he said. "She's so sensitive to others' needs that I think she could have a great career in marketing or public relations."
Tomomi Hosono, a recent graduate and a friend of Rachel's, said that for Rachel, being blind wasn't a weakness. Instead, she said, it gives Rachel strength because it allows her to read people's thoughts and hearts.
"People who are sighted tend to ve on their eyes too much and to forget to see invisible parts of life," she said.

Rocket science could explain baseball team's season woes
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand what's put the Kansas baseball team off course lately.
But it would help.
Ray Taghavi is a rocket scientist and professor of aerospace engineering. He doesn't consider himself a baseball fan, but he knows the game well enough to lend some insight on the similarities between Kansas' hot-and-cold play and the basic principles of rocket propulsion.
Taghavi is a former NASA researcher who lists among his areas of expertise "supersonic jet noise." Take note — a team that has won just five of its last 23 games should be open to taking the scientific approach to figure out what's gone wrong.
The first rule of rocket science is Isaac Newton's Second Law of Motion — a body's momentum is equal to the force acting upon it. When applied to a rocket, it's explained by a simple formula: F (the force on the rocket) = T (the rocket's thrust) · M*g (gravity) · $ \frac{1} {2} $ (the downward force on the rocket)
The same principle applies to this year's baseball team.
F is the team's momentum through the season. The force on a rocket is not constant — it comes in fiery spurts as the motor struggles against gravity and drag force.
Kansas' season has also been defined by hot and cold spells. After going 7-1 in mid-March, the Jayhawks dropped 10 straight. They were shut out twice during the slide and allowed 10 runs three times. Since then, they've gone 5-8, struggling against Nebraska and Texas Tech. They allowed at least five runs in every loss from the time the skid began up to last week's series with Texas Tech.
A rocket's thrust, "T" is like the team's overall hitting consistency. Opponents regularly put up enough runs to demand an offensive response from the Jayhawks. Kansas' bats will have to give the team a boost if it wants to scrounge up wins against Kansas State to close out the season.
Since the month-long dry spell began, Kansas' team batting average has dropped from .286 at the team's peak to .264 after Sunday's loss to Texas Tech.
the one constant in rocket science is gravity — it always exercises the same level of force against a rocket blasting off into the stratosphere. Unless, as Taghavi points out, the rocket loses weight as it unloads its warheads. But for the sake of the comparison, he will willing to assume the rocket is "naked."
Like gravity, Kansas' opposition has been steady during the drought. Opponents were hitting about .290 against Kansas pitching at the beginning of the team's slump in March and maintained that average through their weekend series in Lubbock.
The drag force on a rocket, referred as "K*V*2", depends on wind resistance. The finesse with which the rocket's nose and fins cut through the thinning atmosphere as it climbs into space at several times the speed of sound helps determine its force.
"Say you have a rocket with a missile on it that's leaving the atmosphere," Taqhavi said nonchantly in his Learned Hall office. A rocket moves faster and easier when it exits the atmosphere, he explained.
Despite its decreasingly productive offense, Kansas has shown some signs of finesse since beginning its midseason slide. More tactful baserunning has hiked the team's stolen base success rate by 20 percent, and baserunners have been caught just four times in 29 attempts in the season's second half.
Perhaps like a rocket cutting more easily through a weakening gravitational field as it leaves the Earth?
"Something like that." Taghavi said.
Krall is a Bartlett, MI, sophomore in journalism.
But the resistance that held Kansas back early in the season had to do with a lack of finesse as well — defensive finesse. The Jayhawks have committed nine errors in their last seven games, but Kansas pulled out of the 10-game slide with some of its most solid defense of the season — they strung together six of seven errorless games last month.
1 here were signs of life in Kansas' 5-12 run in April, including Sunday's narrow 4-3 loss Sunday against Texas Tech.
But at this point, fans can start looking forward to next spring's launch.

Close losses drop baseball team to last in Big 12
By Ryan Malashock sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
Failing to win close ball games finally caught up with the Kansas baseball team.
The Jayhawks know they will be playing for pride when they go up against Washburn at 6 tionight at Hoglund Ballpark.
After dropping all three of their weekend games at Texas Tech by only a combined total of four runs, the Jayhawks were eliminated from contention for the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
Kansas fell to 19-29 overall and is in last place in the Big 12 standings with a 5-22 record. But some of Kansas' opponents have said the Jayhawks' record does not indicate the quality of their team.
Texas Tech reliever Steve Rowe recorded the final two outs in the Red Raiders' 4-3 win Sunday, but said he was impressed by Kansas's talent and performance.
"It's good to get a sweep from Kansas," he said after his save Sunday. "They played really well. They played us as tough as anyone has all season for three ball games. I don't understand how they're last in the conference."
Kansas' troubles this season have stemmed from the team's failure to win one-run or two-run games. The Jayhawks' record in games decided by one run this season is 3-10, including a 0-7 mark in the Big 12.
Close losses have plagued the Jayhawks in the last two seasons also. Since the beginning of the 1999 season, Kansas is 8-9 in non-conference play and 3-11 in the Big 12 in games decided by one run. In Big 12 games decided by two runs since 1999, the Jayhawks' record is 2-10.
senior pitcher Pete Smart said numerous reasons contribute to his team's poor record in close games.
"I think about it all the time," he said. "The difference between an average team and a great team is so small in baseball. It's a game of inches, and we just haven't been able to win those close games."
Until this season, the Kansas baseball team has been consistently comprised of young players. Smart said that close games, especially in the Big 12, are extremely intense and that it's tough for young players to jump into those situations.
"Our inability to execute in clutch situations has hurt," he said. "Since I've been here, we've almost always been young, and it's not easy for guys to perform in pressure situations who haven't been there before."
Senior relief pitcher Eric Thompson said bad luck has played a big role in the Javhawks close-game woes.
"We were kind of joking around the other day that the baseball gods were not happy with us," he said. "We work so hard and want to win so bad, but something always happens."
Those gods must have a strange sense of humor then. Nearly two weeks ago Kansas shocked then-No. 3 Nebraska, beating the Cornhushers 123. The Jayhawks won their next two games — against Nebraska-Omaha and Newman College before dropping three to the Red Raiders.
Thompson said the Jayhawks play Washburn tonight and that they need to work on the little things that could make a difference in close games.
"There's always something to look back at in a close game," he said. "As pitchers, we need to keep the ball down, and we need to execute buns and move baserunners. For the most part we've been doing that, but we need to do it better."

Mike Castoro, an Arizona native, was in Lawrence Saturday to watch Courtney Wright, his girlfriend of four years, take on No. 6 Oklahoma in a key Big 12 Conference softball game at Jahyawk Field.
The day wasn't going well for the junior shortstop. Her team lost a 2-1 heartbreaker, and she was in pain after getting hit in the knee by a pitch in the fourth inning — a shot that kept her on the ground for several minutes.
A romantic post-game plot eased her pain.
Castoro told Wright to join him at home plate so her father could get a picture. Once there, he dropped to a knee and proposed.
A tearful and shocked Wright said yes and hugged her husband-to-be
"It made my knee stop hurting," she said. "We've felt this way about each other for a long time — now everybody knows."
Castoro said the most difficult part of the proposal had already taken place.
"The worst part was asking her parents," said Castoro, who works as a firefighter in Tucson, Ariz. "I took them out to eat the day before and asked her dad. After that I just decided I was going to do it and I went for it."
The proposal was momentarily delayed because Wright had to help rake the field.
"Mike kept call me over, but I told him I had to take," Wright said. "I think he wanted to do it with more people still there, and I'm sure I was frustrating him, but I had no idea what he was calling about."
The engagement adds to an already great year for Wright.

Three days after the regular season ended for the Kansas men's tennis team, the Jayhawks were still earning accolades.
Kansas junior Rodrigo Echagaya was named the No.2 Big 12 Conference singles champion and junior Quentin Blakeney was named No.3, the conference announced yesterday.
The Jayhawks, whose regular season ended with a loss to
KANSAS TENNIS
"It really shows that they have produced at their positions all year," said Kansas coach Ross Nwachukwu. "I have had confidence in these guys all year."
Oklahoma State Friday in the Big 12 Championships, also earned four runner-up honors.
Echagary, who has won two consecutive Region V doubles titles, finished the season winning nine of his last 11 matches. His record for the season is 20-14 overall and 5-3 in the Big 12.
Blakeney, meanwhile, posted a 34-6 record overall and a 8-0 record in the Big 12, and his last three victories came against Top 75 opponents. This season, Blakeney accumulated the most wins by a Jayhawk since Craig Wildew went 35-17 in 1987-88.
Other Jayhawks who earned runner-up honors were sophomore Pete Streer at the No. 4 position, junior Alex Barragan at No. 5, freshman Andrew Metzler at No. 6, and sophomore Eleazar Magallan and Metzler at the No. 3 doubles position.
Stroer earned No. 4 singles runner-up status with a 15-8
spring record, including a 5-3 mark in Big 12 play. Stroer also teamed with Blakeney and formed a nationally-ranked doubles team that went 25-11 this season
Barragan went 12-20 this season, including a pair of wins in Big 12 play against Nebraska's Fungal Tongonao and Texas Tech's Chris Drumm.
Metzler reached the 20-win plateau in his first season, going 20-17 overall and 5-3 in His 12 nav.
In doubles play, Metzler and Magallan accumulated a 5-1 record in the Big 12 and a 6-3
"While playing with Metzler we did a really good job," Magallan said. "We had a couple of good wins that decided a lot of doubles matches."
The men's team can extend their season with a possible berth in the NCAA Championships. The NCAA will announce the 64-team championship field Thursday.

Hurst awarded spot on select Big 12 team
Kansas junior Travis Hurst was among 10 student-athletes named to the 2001 All-Big.12 Men's Golf team, voted on by the league's coaches and released by the conference office yesterday.
Hurst, an Erie native, is ranked sixth in the conference with a 73.26 stroke average through 31 rounds. Hurst is in the top 100 of the Master Card Collegiate Golf Rankings and has two medalist finishes this season at the Purina Classic and the Stevinson Ranch Invitational. He has eight top 25 finishes this season, including five in the Top 10, and was also named GolfWorld Collegiate Player of the Week in the April 6 issue.
Hurst, a transfer from Butler County Community College this past fall, was a first-team All-American at the junior college level in 2000.

Top center decides to sign with Tigers
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri Tigers signed junior college center Uche Okafor to a national letter of intent yesterday.
Okafay, a native of Nigeria, is 6-11, 245 pounds, and played the past two seasons at the College of Southern Idaho. He averaged 9.2 points.
7. 2 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game last season in leading the Golden Eagles to a 29-4 record. Southern Idaho was ranked fourth in the final National Junior College Athletic Association poll.

Missouri coach Quin Snyder said Okafor has progressed steadily despite playing basketball for only four years.
He chose Missouri instead of Illinois, North Carolina State, North Carolina, Connecticut and Memphis, among others, Missouri officials said.
"He is athletic and mobile, and is a proficient shot-blocker who has the ability to impact a game in a number of ways," Snyder said.
Okafer was named the nation's top junior college center earlier this year by CNNSI.com.
Oakaf joins a recruiting class that some experts had already ranked among the 10 best in the nation.

Melvin Watkins said yesterday. Watkins said he was unsure where Gilchrist would transfer.
"Jamaal recently got married and because of his family situation he decided he wanted to explore opportunities to finish his career closer to home," Watkins said. "We respect Jamaal's decision and wish him well."
The 6-foot Gilchrist played in all 58 games, starting in 37, as a freshman and sophomore. As a sophomore, he averaged 7.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists after averaging 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists as a freshman.
MIMI — To coax his diseased kidneys into shape for next season, Alonzo Mourning plans an offseason regimen that includes rigorous workouts, daily therapy and a strict menu
Heat's center fights to stay in the game
The Miami Heat center was diagnosed with focal glomerulosclerosis last October, missed the first 69 games of the season and returned for the final 16, including a humbling first-round playoff sweep by the Charlotte Hornets.
NBA
The disease is in remission, but Mourning could eventually require a kidney transplant. Doctors will decide late this summer whether he's healthy enough to suit up for the start of the 2001-02 season.
"If they tell me I can't come back, I'll listen to them." Mourning said yesterday. "My body might be like, 'Hey, I can't do it anymore.' Until then, you're going to hear from me that I will be back."
Even if Mourning plays next season, it may be unrealistic to expect he can regain his All-Star form. His minutes were limited after he returned in March, and he looked lethargic against the Hornets.
The Heat went 42-27 without Mourning. They were just 8-8 after his return.
New coach, new hopes for Gonzalez and Chiefs
NFL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Under new coach Dick Vermeil's wide-open, flood-the-field scheme of offense, Kansas City's Tony Gonzalez is ready to break out and have a bigger year than ever.
Last season Gonzalez averaged nearly 13 yards for every one of his team-record 93 receptions.
Now, if the receivers can get the hang
of things and quarterback Trent Green's knee heals up, Gonzalez could be poised to reach an even higher level.
Some have said the new offense will depress his totals, pointing out the tight end was not featured in the Vermeil offense when he and offensive coordinator Al Saunders ran it in St. Louis.
One thing that could hold back the offense is the availability of Green. Green is sidelined by the knee that underwent arthroscopic surgery almost three months ago. Green hopes to be back by the June minicamp, but may not be ready until the Chiefs open camp in Wisconsin in July.

Penguins without Jagr for second playoff game
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh captain Jaromir Jagr, bothered by an undisclosed injury that has left him unable to shoot effectively, was not in uniform for yesterday night's play-off rame against Buffalo.
Jagr also sat out the Penguins' 3-1 victory in Game 2 Saturday in Buffalo. He practiced Sunday and Monday, but said he can't shoot well enough to play.
The Penguins have said only that Jagr has a bruised muscle that is bleeding. Jagr also said last week he had a sore groin, but his comments would suggest a shoulder or rotator cuff injury.
Jagr absorbed a hard check into the boards by the Sabres' Alexei Zhitnik in Game 1. in Buffalo on Thursday, but he said afterward he wasn't hurt on the play. Jagr was rammed into the boards shoulder-first.
This is the third consecutive season Jagr has been bothered by an injury during the playoffs. He sat out four games in 1996 with a groin injury, then pulled a thigh muscle in the second round against Philadelphia last year.

Speed problems plague CART track
The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — CART faces an uncertain future at Texas Motor Speedway after calling off its inaugural race at the track because drivers got dizzy in practice.
The organization also faces many questions, such as: Why, didn't it know until Sunday that the highbanked track was unsafe for drivers going more than 230 mph?
CART didn't conduct open testing so it was unaware of the physical strain on drivers going full speed. Only after drivers spent nearly four hours on the track together during two days of practice did officials realize the problem.
the bottom-line point is CART should have known," said Eddie Gossage, Texas Motor Speedway general manager. "It should have been tested months and months and months ago."
In letters and faxes to CART officials months before the event, Gossage had questioned whether the extreme speeds would be safe. He said he had been assured CART was ready to race at his track.
CART officials based their evaluation of the track on testing by several individual teams.
"We followed the testing that was done and the fastest speed by anyone was in the mid-220s," said Kirk Russell, CART's chief steward.
Speedway and CART officials, including Gossage and CART president Joe Heitzler, met yesterday to discuss the status of their three-year contract signed last July. They have not decided when or if the Firestone Firehawk 600 will be run, or whether CART will ever hold an event at the speedway.
"This is something that we didn't ever think about happening," said Michael Andretti, CART's winning active driver with 40 victories. "There are people that know I wasn't in favor of coming here, but it wasn't for this reason. This is a different reason, this is a physical reason."
CART called off the race after 21 of 25 drivers experienced vertigo and other symptoms because of gravitational forces.
Dr. Steve Olivey, CART's medical director, said symptoms would have been exaggerated during a 250-lap race on an 80-degree day and drivers might have even lost consciousness.
Kenny Brack averaged 216-220 mph in testing last December. He earned the pole with a qualifying run of 233,447 Saturday, the same day four drivers broke the 236 barrier in practice.
"This is uncharted territory," Olvie said. "We really couldn't send drivers in a situation that is
The combination of speed and 24-degree banking at the 11/2-mile track subjected drivers to G forces of up to 51/2 for 18 of the 22 seconds it took to complete a lap. A range in the 3s is considered normal on most tracks.
"We used that as a baseline to move ahead."
But Russell said CART never had the opportunity to do a large-scale test because teams had scheduling conflicts. Other testing, the steward insisted, provided no reason for concern.
Andretti said there would have been no way to simulate what drivers experience during a race.
"When we were all out there, there was so much air moving and we were still going very, very fast," Andretti said. "You can't simulate 20-something cars in a race."
There are few additional changes that could be made to the track. At the request of CART, several areas on the racing surface were smoothed out and a wall has been added just inside the pit lane.
There would have to be modifications made to slow down the cars. Olvey says that CART could run races safely on the track at around 225 mph.
"Over 225 mph, somewhere in there is a threshold where it becomes an issue," the doctor said. "We are riding on a threshold or right on this edge that we don't want to go beyond."

Dry bagels, alma mater and numb legs all have place in rowing

Special to the Kansan
"Far above the golden valley..."
The sound of our teammates singing the alma mater fills the chilly morning air. The boat rests on our eight shoulders as we head to the dock.
The wake-up call came at 4:45 a.m. I checked to make sure my teammates next door were up, too, and then put on my Kansas unisuit. The bus was leaving the hotel at 5:15 a.m., and we would be launching from the dock by 5:40 a.m. Our race was schedulled for 6:20 a.m. and, if all went well, we would have done more by 6:30 a.m. than most people do in a whole day.
"...Glorious to view..."
I grabbed a bagel from my coach's truck and headed to the bus. I don't feel like eating, but I know I'll need something in my stomach if I'm going to race well. I've found that a dry bagel is just about the only thing my nerves can handle before a race. "Climbing up."
As soon as we get to the course we go on a short run and let the trainers stretch us. Most of our warm-up will be done on the water. Coach talks to us briefly about race strategy and focus, and then it's time to carry the boat to the water.
Our team has a tradition of singing the alma mater and reciting the Rock Chalk chant before every race. We form a circle and sing before the first race of the day. Usually other teams pause to watch, and some even take pictures. Our race is so early today that the rest of the team sings to us as we walk to the dock.
The boat isn't the only pressure resting on our shoulders — we are the first varsity eight, and we're launching for the Grand Finals of the Midwest Championship in Madison, Wis.
We can still hear our teammates singing as we shove off the dock, but the focus quickly shifts to the nine women sitting in the boat. We know what we have to do and compared to the hundreds of thousands of strokes we've done in practice, the 230 or so we'll take in the race should seem like nothing. It's just that those 230 strokes will require more focus and hurt more than anything we've done in practice — it's race day.
"...Stands our noble Alma
Mater..."
We begin our pre-race warm-up. We've done it so many times, it has become routine. The repetition of drills that prepare us to race is comforting because we know that at least one part of race day will be consistent every weekend. The boat feels good. We are swinging together and have good boat speed.
The Kansas women's rowing team sprinted 2,000 meters in 6:19 during the Midwest Rowing Championships in Madison, Wis. two weeks ago. Contributed photo.
The flag is up. Attention. Go. The boat shoots off the line. Jen Page, our coxwain, has the start:
I focus on Stephanie Mahal's back — she sits in front of me—and try to stay relaxed. We pull up to the start line up. There are six boats in our race and we are in lane 2.
"Legs arms, legs arms, legs arms,
swing swing."
The eight of us swing into 20 high strokes at the rate of 40 strokes a minute.
"Shift in two."

We shift to our race pace which is about 33 strokes a minute.
We row past the boat in Lane 1 before we are finished with our high strokes. That boat would not challenge us for the rest of the race. Notre Dame is in Lane 3. They have a few seats on us but are not gaining a lead. We are hanging with them. Wisconsin is in the next lane.
We have four seats, or half a boat length, on them. Jen calls out our position compared to the other boats and reminds us to keep our oars in the water as long as possible. We are more than 500 meters into the 2,000-meter race and have been rowing for about a minute and a half. The adrenaline rush is finished. The pain sets in.
"...Lift the chorus ever onward..." We are still in good position at the 1,000-meter mark when row after row.
ing for a little more than three minutes. Jen counts out 20 strokes and focuses on keeping our strokes long through the water. We make a move on Notre Dame and cut its lead by gaining a few seats back. Wisconsin is hanging with us, too. We stay strong through the third 500 meters, but Wisconsin takes up its sprint early. The Badgers have pulled slightly ahead of us.
Jen calls our first sprint at the 1500-meter mark.
"...Crimson and the blue..."
"Quicker through the water."
We accelerate the oars and swing to the bow. We are now roaring 36 strokes a minute. Jen calls up our second sprint. We stroke the stroke rating up to a 38. At this point I know we have no more than 15 strokes left in the entire race. I count them in my mind as I focus on the back of Stephanie's head. This is balls out, and there's nothing I can do but follow Stephanie and ignore the pain. I try to focus on pushing with my legs, although I can no longer feel them.
The beep sounds as our bow crosses the finish line. Jen tells us to paddle down, which means we can ease up on the pressure.
"Wav'nuf."
“…Hail to thee, our Alma Mater.”
I drop my or, and my head falls to my lap. I'm still trying to catch my breath and still can’t feel my legs. We just sprinted 2,000 meters and finished third with a time of 6:19 behind Notre Dame and Wisconsin. A third-place finish means a medal and the hardware is waiting for us on land.
Our bodies still haven't recovered by the time we row back to the dock. The equivalent of our race is an all-
this is by far our best race of the season. We held consistent splits for most of the race and were faster in the last 500 meters. Coach Rob is fairly pleased, but thinks we can be faster. The thousands of strokes
outsprint for five laps on a 400-meter track. The last lap must be faster than the previous four.
we'll take the next few weeks in practice should help us find more speed. "Heil to old KU."

Wright says ring won't distract her from team
Continued from page 1B
On the field, she is easily enjoying her best year in college. After two years of battling to become the Jayhawks' full-time stopshot, Wright has finally been able to relax with a secure spot in the line-up.
"She really pressed and tried to prove herself for two years," said Kansas coach Tracy Bunge. "This year she's been a much more relaxed, confident player. She goes out and whatever happens, happens."
She has set personal-bests in every offensive category and is second on the team in hits, batting average, stolen bases and RBI.
Secure with herself, Wright has thrived.
Her play was recognized when she was named Big 12 Player of the Week for April 10 through 14 after hitting .625 with three doubles, a triple and six RBI in five games.
Wright has raised her career batting average 36 points to .279 this season.
The most rewarding part of the season for Wright has been the play and unity of the team.
The "Hawks (30-23 overall and 9-6 in the Big 12 Conference) have overcome low preseason expectations and are in third place in the conference.

SOFTBALL
Wright said the team had formed a closer bond than any team she had played on before.
"We all care about each other and what's going on in each other's lives," said Wright, whose teammates took turns hugging her after her surprise engagement Saturday.
"I think it's evident in the quiet confidence we're able to bring with us," she said. "That's something I just don't see in most of the other teams we play. I don't think the other Big 12 teams have the same air that we do."
Wright's frequent miscues at shortstop have been the only damper on her season. Her 19 errors are the second most in the Big 12.
"I know my fielding percentage is just a number and not something I should worry too much about," Wright said. "But I really need to start making the routine plays."
"Courtney Wright is a good player now," Bunge said. "When she gets to the point where she's making 98 percent of the plays she should there's no reason she won't be getting votes for First Team All-Conference."
But in addition to softball, Wright now has wedding plans to think about.
Bunge said Wright had the potential to be one of the top all-around shortstops in the Big 12.
will make me look back on softball with a bigger smile than I already would have had. But a real exclamation point would be to win the Big 12 tournament. That would make everything perfect."

The couple said they would likely wait at least a year to get married so Wright could finish school.
Wright takes her education seriously, as demonstrated by her First Team Academic All-Big 12 honor last year. She is majoring in prephysical therapy and plans to attend medical school after graduation.
Even with everything going on in her life, Wright said her primary focus would remain with her team.
"What Mike did Saturday will make me look back on softball with a bigger smile than I already would have had," she said. "But a real exclamation point would be to win the Big 12 tournament. That would make everything perfect."

Women's swim team gains fresh faces,talent
By Aaron Fulk sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Coach Cathy Burgess announced five new recruits for the Kansas women's swimming team yesterday.
"I am thrilled about the athletic and academic talent of this recruiting class." Burgess said.
All five recruits have recorded 3.5 or above GPAs and two are Wichita natives.
Andrea Becker, Wichita East senior, will add to Kansas' distance freestyle group. Becker is a three-time All-Wichita selection and placed fourth in the 500 free at the Kansas state meet last season. Becker was also a member of Wichita East's academically-presigious International Baccalaureate program.
Katherine Knighton is a senior out of Wichita Southeast High School. She was a two-time city champion in the 100 butterfly. She also specializes in the freestyle

and backstroke. Knighton earned a cumulative 3.94 GPA throughout her high school years.
Traveling a little farther from home is Amy Gruber, a senior at Bigelow High School in Bigelow, Ark. Gruber won the Arkansas high school state championship in the 100 free and the 100 back. Gruber also made an impressive showing in the classroom, finishing in the top three of her class.
The fourth recruit is Jacquelyn Krueger, Sussex, Wisc., native. Krueger attended Hartland Arrowhead High School. She was the Wisconsin state high school champion in the 200 free this season and will also be a factor for the 'Hawks in the freestyle and the breaststroke. Krueger continues a family tradition as she follows in her sister Cindy Krueger's footsteps who swam for Kansas from 1992-1996.
Salzman chose Kansas after carefully considering the competition. She also joins friend and Kansas freshman Kristin Johnson on the team.
Shanell Salzman is the fifth recruit. Salzman will compete as a sophomore for the Jayhawks. A Winfield native, Salzman competed this season for Drury College in Springfield, Mo. She finished in the top 15 in four events at the NCAA Division II championships this spring. She placed fourth in the 200 fly and fifth in the 100 fly. She also had strong showings in both the 200 and 100 back.
Salzman, a pre-med and psychology major, decided to transfer after evaluating Kansas' academic programs as well.
"The competition is very different between a top Division II school and a Division I school," Salzman said. "I'm going to be training with people that are a lot faster and competing against people that are a lot faster."
"KU as a school is a lot bigger." Salzman said. "The atmosphere is just a lot different."
Burgess said she hoped Salzman and the four incoming freshmen would add bulk to a team that lost just two seniors — Carolyn Grevers and Jenny Fuller.
"This class brings our team to a higher level because we have added both strength and depth to all areas of our team." Burgess said. "We already have a talented nucleus returning and they'll be joined by this group that includes a number of high school state champions and finalists."
The quintet will join three recruits who signed during the fall. The rest of the recruiting class includes Miranda Isaac (Hutchinson), Libby Erickson (Overland Park) and Alyson Colver (Holyoke, Colorado).

package
Recapturing the right sound
In all these cases, Irwin is pursuing his holy grail; a perfectly produced record in a perfect package.
Sundazed is headquartered in Irwin's hometown of Coxsackie. Through the front door are shelves stocked with CDs from bands like the Druids of Stonehenge and the Neanderthals.
"I didn't own a record company and you came over to my house," he says, "... I'd play these same records."
Sundazed's specialty is blasts from the past with an emphasis on American rock and pop from the '60s.
If it sounds like Irwin exists in a time warp, he does. It's called Sunded Music — a small but successful record label borne of the tireless 44-year-old's love of music and knack for rescuing old recordings.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT A DATE,
BUT IT'S AN INTIMATE
HUMAN CONTACT THING...
Case in point: Irwin recently finished a mono master of Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home so it could be pressed in vinyl. And he smiles at the thought of unspooling and restoring the waist-high stacks of tape outside his studio from the likes of The Lovin' Spoonful, Mitch Ryder and Nancy Sinatra. He calls it the "buzz that never goes away."
HOPEFULLY.
RIGHT.
Love of music provides man with rockin' job
The Associated Press
COXSACKIE, N.Y. — Bob Irwin's life is tangled up in audiotape — miles of reels filled with sounds of shaggy-haired singers and jangly guitars.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT A DATE.
BUT IT'S AN INTIMATE
HUMAN CONTACT THING...
HOPEFULLY.
RIGHT.
He also plans to get Love and MC5 on vinyl, and the Spencer Davis Group and O.Jays out on CD. There are plans for a Nancy Sinatra "early years" release.
can be excruciating. In working on a compilation of Simon & Garfunkel for Legacy, Irwin set up a New York City studio just like the duo's studio circa 1966. Because there was no decent stereo master to work with, he tried to make it sound like the first press of the vinyl.
And there are those tapes in the hall and more tapes in some vault, somewhere, waiting to be found.
Other Dylan albums are on tap for future release: "Blonde on Blonde" and four other albums are up next.
but is that kind of loving care worth it so a new generation can hear Nancy Sinatra sing "Light my Fire"?
Apparently yes. Those reissues came during a boomlet in her popularity and "blew the lid off things" for Sundazed, says Irwin.
About a fifth of Sundazed releases are vinyl, which Iwin considers a "recession-proof product." Vinyl records have not only refused to die, he notes, but sales have gone up in recent years as more people have been lured to the romance of dropping a needle into a groove. Some audiophiles believe vinyl offers a warmer sound than the digitized music of CDs.
It helps that a Sundazed album selling between 15,000 and 30,000 is considered a success.

Royals win against Blue Jays
The Associated Press
TORONTO — Mike Sweeney wouldn't mind hitting against the Toronto Blue Jays all the time.
sweeney hit his six home run of the year, all of them against Toronto, and the Kansas City Royals won their third-straight game, 6-3, against the Blue Jays yesterday.
"It just happens to be that on the days I'm facing them I'm getting pitches to hit," Sweeney said. "The guys gave me a hard time, but I'm just happy we won."
just happy we are 4-0.
Sweeney went 3-for-4 with two RBI for the Royals, who won the season series 4-3.
In seven games against the Jays, Sweeney went 13 for-27, a 481 pace, with 10 extra base hits and eight RBI. For the season, he is batting 292.
"Good riddance to Mike Sweeney," said Toronto manager Buck Martinez. "We just can't figure out Sweeney. We tried every approach."
Kansas City starter Jeff Suppan (2-3), winless in his previous three starts, allowed three runs on eight hits in 7/13 innings. He struck out six and walked two. Tony Camonigan finished the eighth and Roberto Hernandez pitched the ninth and got his sixth save.
"Suppan had real good command." Martinez said. "He was able to do just about anything he wanted to do."
Tony Batista hit a two-run homer for the Blue Jays, who have scored just five runs since Martinez revamped the lineup two games ago. The Blue Jays had been averaging more than six runs before the change.
"You expect this team to score more than two runs," Martinez said. Game notes

The Rovals are 5-10 on the road
The Royals are so good.
Martinez dropped Raul Mondesi from the third spot to fifth in the order. Shannon Stewart has gone from the leadoff spot to hitting third, and centerfielder Jose Cruz Jr. has moved from fifth to the leadoff.
Martinez wants to have better protection for clean up hitter Carlos Delgado.

KU student reports rape after party
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A 20 year-old KU student has reported to police that she was raped early Friday morning, Lawrence police said.
Det. Mack Pryor said the student was at someone's house in the 2000 block of Palmer Drive, between Kasold and Wakarusa drives near Clinton Parkway, for a small "afterhours get-together."
The student and the suspect, who she met that night, were together for awhile and ended up in a bed, Pryor said. She refused sexual contact, but he didn't listen.
After the incident, she left. She went to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Friday afternoon, and the hospital contacted the police department. Prvor said.
Police are gathering witnesses and interviewing the suspect, described as a Baldwin man in his 20s, Pryor said. The victim could not be reached for comment.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick said it was not uncommon for women to be raped by acquaintances.
Sarah Jane Russell, executive director of Douglas County Rape Victim Survivor Service, said the majority of rapes the service learned about were acquaintance rapes in which the victim knew her attacker.
who contact the service are college age, Russell said, but that does not mean they are all from the University of Kansas.
More than half of the women
"We offer 24-7 comprehensive crisis service with no charge," Russell said of the campus service organization. "What that means is we are available to talk with someone on the telephone or can meet with people. We're available to go to the hospital, to sit through a police interview or to go to court."
She said the service, which began in 1973, was available to both men and women, and students could locate the service by calling Headquarters Counseling Center, 1419 Massachusetts St., or KU Info. The service also works in alliance with the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. Last year, four rapes were reported campus.
Russell said people sometimes labeled raps and placed them into categories, such as acquaintance rape or stranger rape, but that these categories were irrelevant.
She said people often wanted to know rape's causes or trends, but she could not offer those.
"Rape is rape is rape," she said.
"In our last fiscal year, we were contacted by over 200 people." Russell said. "People always want something to connect it to, but rape just happens when it happens."

Jewish student gets threatening e-mail
By Brandon Stinnett
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Jason Hahn sat at his computer desk late Sunday evening and logged on to the Internet to check a homework grade from earlier in the week before going to bed. But the routine task took an extraordinary turn when the Memphis freshman received a threatening instant message from someone he had never met.
The message read, "Hail Hitler. I'm going to stick you in the Jew oven. I am Hitler, and I'm going to kill you. I'm back from the grave."
Angry and scared, Hahn, who is Jewish, filed a police report the next morning. Particularly unnerving for Hahn was not knowing who the sender was or how to contact him or her.
"I knew none of my friends would say something like that." he said.
Hahn called his mother in Memphis and told her about the incident. Hahn said his mother suspected the perpetrator may have been someone they knew and called his 14-year-old cousin, who confessed to having his friend send the message as a "toke."
Although relieved that the sender had been found and that it was not meant as a serious threat, Hahn said he was still upset and called his cousin.
"I told him how serious it was and that it was not a ioke." he said.
Police are still investigat ing the incident, Hahn said he didn't plan to pursue
Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department said crimes committed on the internet created problems.
any legal action. He does,
however, intend to confront
the sender when he visits
Memphis later this week.
This is not the first Internet-related crime to hit the University. In January 2000, a 22-year-old male student received an anonymous threatening email that read, "You're going to die really soon."
“It’s difficult in that you don't know where the origin is from until it is investigated,” Patrick said.
One month later, another 22-year-old male student received an e-mail from an unknown sender who threatened to stab him.
Patrick said Internet crimes remained a rarity despite an increasing number of people with access to computers.
"We can't say that one crime is not as serious as another," he said. "The nature of the crime is what deems it to be serious."
Patrick said threats made on the Internet were no different than threats made face-to-face or in writing.
"I think it's a small problem," Hahn said. "His words mean nothing unless he actually does something. My only fear was not knowing who the person was." — Edited by Joy Pilarese
"I can't recall any other specific Internet-type crime that we've had in the recent past," he said.
Hahn said the incident would not affect his desire to use instant messaging in the future.
Librarian dies of brain aneurysm
Funeral services planned for Friday
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff write
Funeral services for Mary Rosenbloom, external relations librarian, will be held at 4 p.m. Friday at First Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St.
Rosenbloom, who died on Monday after suffering a brain aneurysm, is survived by her husband Joshua Rosenbloom, instructor in economics, and three sons ranging in ages from seven to 10. She was 43 years old.
Rosenbloom suffered the

formance in which she was participating. Bill Crowe, Spencer librarian, was Rosenbloom's friend. He described her as a woman who cared passionately about students. "She wasn't apart from other people."
He said students might not know Rosenbloom by name, but he imagined many would recognize her face.
"She loved working with the students," he said. "She would help them in any way that she could."
"She loved those kids," he said.
"She was a great person, and she will be missed."
Crowe said above all, Rosenbloom was a deeply devoted daughter, wife and mother to her three young sons — whom she frequently talked about.
Crowe said Rosenbloom loved books and music. She was recently appointed interim music and dance librarian at the Gorton Music and Dance Library. She worked at the University for 13 year as external relations librarian, reference librarian and bibliographer.
University libraries, said Rosenbloom's death was an enormous loss to the University and Lawrence communities. She said the department was devastated.
"Mary was a lovely, warm person," Rholes said. "She was very full of energy and always very enthusiastic."
She remembered Rosenbloom as a talented writer and singer.
Police transported Rosenbloom to Lawrence Memorial Hospital at approximately 9 p.m. Saturday, where a brain aneurysm was diagnosed. Just before midnight she was transferred to the KU Medical Center where she was treated. She died around 12:30 a.m.

Players get the hollers. KU keeps the dollars
Joshua Rosenbloom could not be reached for comment.

Allen Fieldhouse vibrates with roars from the throats of 16,300 fans when KU's Kenny Gregory catches Jeff Carey's hail mary attempt near the top of the backboard and dunks it at the buzzer.
"Even in the wintertime," Emma Gregory said. "That's how much he loved the game. We would look outside and Kenny was out there in the snow playing basketball."
Their son Kenny spent years in that driveway perfecting his jump shot.
As the players run to the locker room for halftime, men in cashmere sweatervests and tasseled loafers line up at tables to buy posters and $50 jerseys featuring the names of their favorite Jayhawks. They won't find a Jersey with Gregory's name on it, however. He refused to give permission, a small protest against the pittance players receive in a sport that earns millions of dollars.
The Jayhawks beat Colorado 91-79 that night, but coach Roy Williams and his assistants were the only people on the bench who got a paycheck for their efforts.
Kansas basketball raked in almost $4.75 million this year — an average of $395,000 for each of its 12 scholarship players — but players didn't see a dime. They were rewarded only with tuition and room and board, valued at about $15,000 a year for out-of-state residents and about $9,000 a year for Kansas residents.
"I just felt like it was a situation where people were making enough money off of us anyway, so I decided not to let them put my name on their jerseys. It's the only thing we have control over."
In contrast, players in the NBA have a collective bargaining agreement with team owners that guarantees players receive 61 percent of league income. If college basketball played by those same rules, each KU player this year would get about $230,000 for his efforts.
An orange, scuffed basketball clinks through a chain-link net in the driveway of Gomas and Emma Gregory's modest home in Columbus, Ohio.
Gregory made his nationwide television debut at the age of 18 as the leading scorer in the McDonald's High School All-American game. This year he became a TV star, thanks to KU's 18 nationally televised games and ESPN's replays of his thunderous dunks, but he is tired of being used.
Although few players go on to play for pay in the NBA, many fail to complete the college degree that the NCAA says can be their only pay for playing before adoring fans in sold-out arenas and on national television. During their college years, players complain they have to dip into their own savings or rely on family support to pay for living expenses, even though the University and the NCAA are making millions exploiting their athletic talents.
Gregory pulled the plug on an Athletics Department plan to profit from his name without him reaping any of the benefits. He refused to let it sell $50 jerseys or $10 posters sporting his name. He said he would have gone along with it if he would have been compensated because that would have helped his living situation.
He said he was comfortable knowing his value to fans without needing jersey and poster sales to remind him. Autograph hounds were enough proof for Gregory, and he eagerly signed every T-shirt and slip of paper offered.
"That was something I didn't want to do." Gregory said. "I won't say I was pressured, but people asked me about it, and I just didn't want to do it even though everyone else on the team did."
Perks and pains
By Chris Wristen
Taking his game from the driveway to Allen Fieldhouse brought a whole new set of NCAA rules that Gregory was forced to follow. They specified how much money he could earn while working a summer job, where he could live and even what gifts his friends could give him.
Every aspect of Gregory's college life has been regulated by NCAA
Every cent associated with a Kansas basketball scholarship goes toward academics. A full out-of-state athletics scholarship is valued at $14,805.50 per year; $9,120.59 for tuition; $4,000 for room and board and $1,687.91 for books, tutors at the Hale Achievement Center and student fees for yearbooks and bus passes. Instate scholarships are worth $8,040.50.
FALSE. The restis were a pain, he said, and the benefits were few.
That's as far as the dollar stretches.
Plane tickets, money, cars, even trophies or plaques valued at more than $150 are not allowed because the NCAA says those benefits might corrupt a student-athlete's amateur status. That status, the NCAA claims, keeps academics as players' top priority, and no their sport.
Gregory and his teammates play on national television, are revered by fans on campus and rub elbows with wealthy donors to KU's athletic programs, but NCAA rules prohibit paying for anything they might want or need, whether its $30 for an oil change or $160 for new tires; $15 for a movie and fast food meal; $60 for long distance phone calls to mom; $200 a month for laundry and dry-cleaning; or even $300 for plane tickets to fly home to Columbus for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Williams says his players do deserve more than they're given for their talents. He has been a longtime supporter of increasing the value of athletic scholarships to compensate for additional living expenses.
XII
CONFERENCE
Gregory, like most physically active athletes his age, likes to eat and often gets hungry between meals. If he wants a snack that's not available at Mrs. E's, where he has a board contract, he has to pay for it out of his own pocket.
His scholarship doesn't pay for clothing, either, such as the suits Williams requires his players to wear when the team travels. NCAA rules require players to purchase that suit themselves, as well as any other clothes they need. Gregory usually wears his gray Kansas Basketball sweat suit to class because it's comfortable and it eliminates having to buy another day's wardrobe.
"We can make the scholarship a better scholarship and make it cover the true cost of matriculation." Williams said. "Every academic scholarship at every institution has an item that says 'miscellaneous expense.' The basketball scholarship should say the same thing.

Ceramics students to benefit from sale
Student art will be available for purchase from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow when the ceramics department holds a spring sale to benefit ceramics students at the Main Gallery on the third floor of the Art and Design Building.
Judy Arnold, Ceramics Club president and Leavenworth senior, said works would include functional pieces such as small fountains and mugs, as well as large, sculptural pieces. Prices will range from $5 to hundreds of dollars, and all purchases will come with a biography sheet about the artist and an information sheet about the artistic process involved.
Part of the proceeds will benefit a fund for a ceramics student award. Arnold said the department began holding the sale to build the endowment fund four years ago, and the first award would likely be given next fall.
Arnold added the sale benefited the ceramics department as a whole.

KU teaching assistant to receive award
Ophra Leyser, a KU graduate teaching assistant, will receive the Graduate Student Award for Distinguished Service at the Graduate School awards ceremony at 3:30 p.m. today at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union.
Leyser, a doctoral student in sociology, will be presented the award for her work as an advocate for academic, employment, social and personal concerns of graduate students.
"Ophra's been active in student organizations and has really helped her fellow graduate students," said Daphne Johnston, assistant dean of the graduate school.
Leyser teaches a social problems course and has taught Hebrew language courses in past semesters.
Recipients of the award, established in 1983, receive a certificate and a
cash prize of at least $150, Johnston said. Their names are added to a plaque in the Kansas Union.

Man finds girl's head near decapitated body
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A retired postal worker found the head of a young girl whose decapitated body had been discovered earlier in the same wooded area in eastern Kansas City, Mo.
Billy Stegall, 51, found the girl's head yesterday in a black plastic trash bag about 100 yards from where the body was discovered Saturday. He said there were flies all around the bag.
When he saw the bag, Stegall motioned to a Fox television reporter who was in the block-long woods doing a report on the discovery of the girl's body. The reporter, Jana Shortal, went to Stegall, who poked the bag with a stick, showing the outline of a human head.
Shortal then called police.
Shortly then called police.
When police arrived, they confirmed that a girl's head was in the trash bag. Shortl said.
Pipeline explodes north of Kansas City
There were no reports of injuries. The 10-inch diameter pipe burst in a field along Missouri 273 between Platte City and Weston, about 15 miles north of downtown Kansas City, Mo.
PLATTE CITY, Mo. — A pipeline carrying propane between Kansas and Illinois erupted in a western Missouri farm field yesterday, sending flames hundreds of feet in the air.
The pipe, operated by Mid-America Pipeline Co., burst from "some type of stress fracture" about 11 a.m., said a representative for the Platte County Sheriff's Department.
Bail denied for teen charged with murder
HAVERHILL, N.H. — One of two teen-agers charged with murdering a husband and wife who taught at Dartmouth College pleaded not guilty yesterday.
Robert Tulloch, 17, said nothing during his Grafton County Superior Court arraignment. Led into the courtroom, he looked briefly at members of his family — father, brother and sister — and showed no emotion as a court clerk read two charges of first-degree murder.
No bail was set; Tullock remains in the county jail. Senior Assistant Attorney General Kelly Ayotte said a trial date would be set in the next few weeks, but it was not expected to begin before February.
Tulloch and James Parker, 16, both of Chelsea, Vt., are charged with murdering Half, 62, and Susanne Zantop, 55, in their isolated home on the Hanover campus Jan. 27.
SEATTLE — Angered by state education plans, teachers in Seattle and three suburban districts staged a one day walkout yesterday, shutting down classes for 70,000 students.
Teachers shut down classes with strike
"We're doing this because every day our students are being shortchanged," said John Dunn, president of the Seattle Education Association, which represents 4,800 teachers and staff.
It was a coincidence that the walkout came on May Day, the traditional day of labor demonstrations around the world, said Washington Education Association representative Rich Wood. He said yesterday just happened to be a convenient day for teachers in some districts.
The union said some 5,000 teachers walked out to protest the amount of money set aside for education in state budget proposals.

AUSTIN, Texas — A fire broke out yesterday at a high-rise luxury apartment building for University of Texas students, killing one student and criti cally injuring another.
A 19-year-old student was found in his room and was pronounced dead at a hospital. His name was not released. Another student, Zawardy Ab Latiff, 21., was hospitalized with third-degree burns.
The fire was confined to a second-floor unit of the two-tower complex.

Klansman convicted of 1963 murders
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A former Ku Klux Klansman was convicted of murder yesterday for the 1963 church bombing that killed four African-American girls, the deadliest single attack during the civil rights movement.
Thomas Blanton Jr., 62, was sentenced to life in prison by the same jury that found him guilty. Before he was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs, he was asked if he had any comment.
"Iguess the good Lord will settle it on judgment day," he said.

Blanton was accused of helping other Klansmen plant a powerful
During closing arguments, U.S. Attorney Doug Jones told the jury of eight Whites and four African-Americans it was "never too late for justice." He said Blanton acted in response to months of civil rights demonstrations.
"Tom Blanton saw change and didn't like it." Jones said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Posey added: "The defendant didn't care who he killed as long as he killed someone and as long as that person was Black."
"These children must not have
died in vain," he said. "Don't let the deafening blast of his bomb be what's left ringing in our ears."
The bomb ripped through an exterior wall of the brick church. The bodies of Denise McNair, 11, and Addle Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley and Carole Robertson, all 14, were found in the downstairs lounge.
Defense lawyer John Robbins said the government relied on murky tapes of his client secretly recorded by the FBI and proved only that Blanton was once a foul-mouthed segregationist.

Foreign student hopes to create change abroad

Pelle Danabo was amazed when he walked into the spacious Budig Hall computer lab for the first time and saw students typing on the hundreds of computers that filled the room.
At the university in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia, Danabo always wrote his papers out by hand, just like the other students and professors.
Danabo is a Fulbright scholar from the southwest Ethiopian city of Arba Minoh who hopes to open a world of opportunities in information technology to students and professors at Addis Ababa University, where he will return to teach and study in August.
Danabo is pursuing a master's degree in philosophy at the University and is one of four international students in the nation to receive the Kenneth Holland Award in support of innovative projects that Fulbright scholars undertake in their home countries.
He won the award for his proposal to establish a cyber cave in Addis Ababa, where he said professors and students wrote papers by hand, and only a select few who had studied outside Ethiopia had a personal computer in their homes. The award provides $2,500 in grants for Fulbright Fellows in their last year of U.S. study.
Ann Cudd, professor of philosophy and Danabo's master thesis adviser, said that in his four semesters at the University, Danabo had become proficient with computers.
"When he came here he didn't have much facility with computers," Cudd said. "I asked him if it would help him to have a computer in his room; he said 'yes.'"
Danabo was grateful for the help he received.
"My professors were so kind that they were letting me write papers by hand," Danabo said. "My department gave me a new computer."
Danabo said his interest in information technology was embedded in his studies in philosophy and his experience living in the United States.
"My interest in philosophy is development." Danabo said.
"Whenever I think of development what comes to mind is, 'Do we have access to information?' We are poor people, so when I see these things I ask why."
Setting up shop at the cyber cafe in Addis Adaba will present challenges, Danabo said, because of a lack of infrastructure and money, but he said he hoped to overcome those obstacles.
He said he hoped Addis Ababa University would provide a building. Donated computers, including his personal computer, will provide low-cost access to word processing and the Internet for many at

his university who have never used computers.
Studying at the University has opened new vistas in communication for Danabo, and he doesn't take for granted the technology that most countries in the world cannot hope to afford.
"We are fighting for our bread every day," Danabo said. "Technology is a very secondary thing."

Motion filed to dismiss trial
Scholarship halls still battling bank
The controversy between residents of Watkins and Miller scholarship balls and Bank of America is up for a ruling once again.
Jack Murphy, Douglas County district court judge, heard both parties Monday in answer to a motion from Bank of America to dismiss a petition from Watkins and Miller.
In the petition, hall residents charged the bank and the University of Kansas with negligence and fraud.
David Brown, the residents' attorney, said the bank's action was standard.
By filing a motion to dismiss, the bank was saying the two halls had no basis for their accusations and the court should not hear the case.
"I was not surprised that they filed
Judge Murphy gave the bank 10 days tofile additional papers to make its case. A ruling on the motion to dismiss is expected after that deadline.

Legislators debate new budget plans

Legislators moved slowly yesterday toward agreeing on a plan to resolve the state's budget problems and a confrontation with Gov. Bill Graves about spending cuts.
Two key issues emerged from yesterday's meetings: How to spend the state's share of money from the national settlement of lawsuits against tobacco companies and whether to increase tax on gasoline and diesel fuel by one cent a gallon earlier than planned.
Graves proposed moving up the motor fuels tax increase to July 1 of this year in order to raise $18.4 million for the fiscal 2002 budget. The tax was orignially scheduled to begin in 2003.
Some legislators, particularly House negotiators, have said Graves needs to be more flexible.
Graves also didn't back away from his objective to avoid cuts in state programs. He has threatened to veto any plan that cuts too deeply.
David Shulenburger
"The governor and the Legislature have to deal with the question of the appropriate source of funds."
Provost
Rep. Kenny Wilk, the House's lead negotiator, said he expected a budget agreement to be "equally ugly to all parties."
"My guess is that when we get to that point, we'll all swallow hard and go home," said Wilk, R-Lansing.
The Legislature rejected a proposal by Graves last week that would raise the state sales tax from 4.9 percent to 5.1 percent, adding $10.8 million to the state's higher education budget.
Graves' plan comes after the House Appropriations Committee cut $1 million from the University's budget.
The Legislature's plan would
give higher education $16.6 million next year — $4.2 million less than was appropriated in this year's budget.
After Graves' original budget recommendations in January, KU administrators announced in February that all schools, departments, academic units and administrative offices would have their budgets cut by .57 percent in fiscal year 2001, putting a halt to faculty and staff hiring.
For fiscal year 2002, the cut would be 0.98 percent, which would amount to almost $2 million.
Provost David Shulenburger said last week he wasn't concerned about how the state would generate revenue. Shulenburger said the University's concern was the need for resources to carry out its own services.
"The governor and the Legislature have to deal with the question of the appropriate source of funds," he said.

Environmental group's safety clinic will test cars for emission levels

Kansas staff write
to the public.
A branch of the KU environmental studies program will break new ground today and tomorrow by holding a vehicle safety inspection and emission testing clinic at the parking lot next to Memorial Stadium, 11th and Illinois streets.
The Regional and International Center for the Environment — RICE — will hold the clinic from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It is free and open
The clinic is the first of its kind at any college campus in the United States, said Peter Sam, adjunct instructor in the environmental studies program and organizer of the event.
greenhouse gases to 1990 levels.
Sam said he organized the clinic after learning that President George W. Bush's administration would not agree to the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement that would address the greenhouse effect and ozone layer depletion and reduce pollutants and
The clinic is designed to inform the public about pollutants and to find out how much people on campus contribute to global warming, he said.
"We want to educate the students, faculty and anybody who has a car about pollutants," he said.
Drivers who want to participate can wait in their cars, while workers place a five-gas analyzer on the exhaust pipe. The analyzer records levels of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous
oxide and particulate matter, and the testing should take about 10 minutes for each car. Sam said.
After testing the levels, Sam said workers would tell the owner of the car what they could do to lower the level of pollutants.
Sam said the department also wanted to sample campus buses to determine their pollutant levels, but only buses that use gas could be checked. Buses that run on diesel could not be checked because the department doesn't have the instruments needed to check levels.
But Holly Krebs, Lawrence senior and transportation coordinator of KU on Wheels, said she hadn't been contacted about checking the buses at the clinic.
Michelle Myer, an engineer for the Kansas City, Mo., health department air quality program, said she and two other health department colleagues would administer the tests tomorrow.
In addition to the testing of pollutants from an individual's car, Myer said a test would, be performed to see if the gas cap had a
good seal. She said evaporated gas from poor sealing tanks could cost the car's owner up to $30 a year in lost gas.
Information would be available to explain what each of the levels mean and explain the effect of cars, even locally, on the environment.
"I think it's a good way to let people know driving around town really does have an effect on the environment," she said.

Point/Counterpoint
Money for minority scholarships
Our view: Administrators should pour Coke cash into minority scholarships to cultivate diversity
Chancellor Robert Hemenway is considering a proposal to develop a scholarship fund that would be awarded to minority students who choose to attend the University of Kansas. Money from the University's contract with Coca-Cola would help finance these scholarships.
Students should support the proposal, which could significantly increase our ethnic minority population on campus.
A diverse education isn't available outside of the classroom at the university. Only 9.2 percent of University students are of an ethnic minority — and that percentage fell this year. This statistic is also below the average ethnic minority population in the state of Kansas, which is 11.7 percent.
Some students think it is wrong to take funding away from the programs and scholarships that the Coke contract already pays for and redistribute it to minority scholarships. These uses include money for student activities, scholarships for children of faculty and staff and scholarships for National Merit Scholars.
Theresa Klinkenberg, the director of administration who supervises the Coke deal, said some areas probably would have to be cut to finance minority scholarships, but no one has said which ones. Yes, the students who have received National Merit Scholarships should be commended for their hard work and commitment to higher education. Furthermore, Hemenway should be commended for exceeding his goal of having 100 new National
Merit Scholars enrolled at the University by 2000.
But the Coke contract provides money for relatively few of those scholarships. Only about 10 percent of the funds for National Merit Scholarships come from the contract. Surely, the other sources of funding for merit scholars could work to make up the difference.
work to make it happen. But how many National Merit Scholarships have been issued to inner-city minorities? Few, if any. How many scholarships does the University sponsor that are awarded to minority students only? The answer is zero, said Robert Page Jr., director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Many students seem disinterested in minority issues, which may be caused, in part, by the low enrollment of minority students. Unlike National Merit Scholars or children of faculty and staff, many minority students applying to the University have not had a privileged education. Minority students who went to schools that taught from outdated books, had no air conditioning inside their classrooms or even had sewage problems do not have the necessary educational foundation to earn other substantial scholarships.
Retaining ethnic minorities once they're enrolled is important as well, and programs such as Hawk Link are working to increase retention. But first, the University needs the lay the groundwork to get ethnic minorities here.
Lack of knowledge about other ethnic cultures leads to
ignorance, stereotypes and discrimination. The University needs to focus on increasing its minority enrollment and retention by developing a scholarship fund to assist minority students.
Money from the Coke contract should not be used to quench the University's thirst for more minority students. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said two weeks ago that he was consider- ing revenue from the

scholarships designated for minorities. Many other colleges across the country offer them and often find that they help enrich their campus with diversity. The University would do well to extend better financial aid packages to minorities, but that aid should not come at the expense of other deserving causes.
The Coke contract's money already goes to deserving causes. The deal pulled in about $760,000 this year, but Theresa Klinkenberg, the director of administration who supervises the contract, said the University didn't expect that figure to rise much in coming years.
That means financing minority scholarships would force cuts in areas that currently receive money from the contract. About half the money goes to reimburse entities such as the department of student housing and the unions that make less money than they would have without the contract. The other half is split among scholarships for merit scholars, scholarships for children of faculty and staff and student programming, such as speakers, majors fairs and Black History Month events.
Say the University turned the $200,000 that currently goes to National Merit Scholarships into
minority scholarships.
Klinkenberg said the Coke contract provided about 10 percent of the funds for Major Merit Scholarships, translating into approximately 15 to 30 scholar-
charships into minority schol
ships, depending on the scholar's state of residence. While adding a handful of National Merit Finalists is impressive because of their rarity, even if the proposed fund transfer translated into 30 more minority students, adding 30 minority students to a student body of more than 25,000 applies a Band-Aid to a problem that is more than skin deep.
Instead, the University should work to find a substantial new source of private money that it can use specifically for minority scholarships. It will take more time and effort on the University's part to establish such a fund, but the easiest solution is not always the best.
If the University truly wants to bring its campus up to the standards of diversity set by other universities, it also must make efforts in areas besides financial aid. A good place to start would be to send more representatives to recruit high school students in areas with high minority populations, such as Kansas City or Omaha. Another step would be to make a greater effort to get such diverse high schools to come to the University for field trips or recruiting visits.
Wes Benson/KANSAN
Although a lack of diversity causes concern and reflects poorly on the University, the University should not attempt to remedy that at the expense of other worthy causes. Finding a new source of money for minority scholarships may take more work, but it's the better long-term solution.
Perhaps changes could be made to the mailings sent out to prospective students, changes which would emphasize the University's minority clubs and organizations.

Feedback drives changes for fall semester's Kansan
A week from today, most of us will be taking our first final or studying for one later in the week.

So with the end of the semester, it's a good time to reflect back on the Kansan's work and look ahead to what will happen next fall. For the most part, it's been a good four months.

Bit 12 Conference on Black Student Government.
O'Toole agreed, but added that the Kansan admitted from the beginning that the conference deserved more coverage than it received
And despite the controversy and protests, O'Toole said the incident had its positive side.
"I think it was productive in the fact that it almost made tensions or hard feelings tangible." she said.
O'Toole said both praise and criticism helped Kansan staff members evaluate the jobs they were doing.
"I think it's important that people give feedback," she said. "When they're pleased with something. When they're upset with something. When they agree or disagree."
Which brings the focus to next semester, when reader feedback will be a key goal of the Kansan.
Kursten Phelps, who will be editor during the fall semester, plans to establish a "grand jury" — a panel of regular students who will meet to discuss issues facing students and how they should be addressed.
Phelps said it was a way to avoid having only figureheads, such as the student body president or chancellor, as voices in the newspaper.
Phelps also plans to expand the diversity training of Kansan staff members. She said that she had always seen the value in diversity training but that the Black Student Union controversy made it clear that it was something that needed to be done now.
"It's the idea of bringing more of the community into the Kansan and more of the Kansan into the community," she said.
In the past, diversity training at the Kansan has been media-based, she said. But it's important to realize "how all the people that you work with and all the people you encounter every day are different than you and why that's important."
Newspapers are somewhat of a living thing. They have to change to meet the demands of their readers.The Kansan is no different,and next fall everyone in the newsroom will be learning how to bring you the best product possible.
There will be other changes at the Kansan as well — including everything from a design overhaul to a new staff.
See you then.

The current situation is beneficial to both parties. Why should GTAs expect to profit from going to KU? The rest of us undergraduates don't.

$4 million project to take about a year
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The sheriff's department and district court will have more space after the renovation of the Douglas County Law and Judicial Enforcement Center.
The 14-month, $4 million construction project is expected to be finished March 25 of next year, said Craig Weinaug, county administrator. It includes the renovation of the jail that occupied one-third of the building's top floor and will add 12,000 square feet to the building.
The project also includes small renovations to the old courthouse that is adjacent to the law enforcement center, 111 E. 11th St.
Two courtrooms, one finished and one that can be finished at any time, will be added to the five existing courtrooms. Weinau said. He said the extra courtrooms were
needed because Douglas County had one of the highest caseloads for a Kansas district court, and he anticipated another division would be added.
Although the project has hit a few bumps along the way — such as having to redraw some plans after a large water tank was discovered where the new foundation was to be laid — it is mostly going according to plan, Weinaug said.
"Any time there's a renovation of an existing building with as many functions as that building, you run into some problems," Weinaug said.
So far, the demolition of the old jail is complete and the space for the basement expansion has been excavated, Weinaug said. The construction team is working on the form work for the foundation's steel reinforcement structures and expects to start on the foundation late next week.
The police department, which is also housed in the building, is moving part of its department into a second location later this month. Sgt. Mike Pattrick said.
Weinaug said the city and county initially considered increasing the addition's size to give the police department more space, but it turned out to be cheaper for the department to move into a satellite location.
Captain Ken McGovern of the Douglas County Sheriff's Department said the department was looking forward to the project's completion.
"Everyone will gain some more room," he said.
Meanwhile, the police and sheriff's departments are making accommodations to function normally during the renovation.
McGovern said the patrol officers had been moved to the new Douglas County Jail, 3601 E. 25th St., because there was not enough room to park the patrol cars downtown.
The other major change is that the entrance open to the public after hours and on weekends is no longer accessible. Instead, Sgt. Patrick said, people need to use the phone near the South entrance to request service, and an officer will escort them in and out of the building.

Panel tackles religion
By Laurie Harrison
Special to the Kansan
About 130 people packed Alderson Auditorium to hear KU professors, a KU student and an Ottawa University professor debate the American religious culture at "Religiously Incorrect," a panel discussion on current religious issues. They discussed such topics as the execution of Timothy McVeigh, government funding religious organizations and how the University of Kansas teaches religion.
Panels discussed how politics and relation often intersect.
"Religions are subsidized," Minor said. "It's property is free and untaxed. Businesses have to really work to get that type of subsidy."
Robert Minor, professor of religious studies, said that religions in the United States were favored by the government. They have special privileges that other entities do not, be said.
Paul Mirecki, associate professor of religious studies, said government funding the Christian churches was nothing new.
Mirecki also said that the department of religious studies taught about religion as a subject, not as way to be.
"The Bible has come down to us with government money," Mirecki said. "There has been enormous political and financial support of the church throughout the centuries."
"We don't teach how to be religious,how to be pious,"he said."That is for the churches,and the synagogues and the mosques."
"There has been enormous political and financial support of the church throughout the centuries." Paul Mirecki associate professor of religious studies
During the discussion of McVeigh's upcoming execution, Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy, discussed whether it was hypocritical for people to favor the death penalty while being anti-abortion advocates.
"It's completely consistent if you believe that humans have rights until they're born." Melott said, causing much of the audience to laugh. Melott said the issue of abortion couldn't be discussed without talking about birth control.
"The earth has a cancer, and it's called people," Melott said. The world's population is multiplying too rapidly and the overpopulation is a major problem, he said.
"It may be the most important issue facing the human race," Melott said.
The panel was sponsored by the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Student Union Activities. - Edited for instruction in Dearborns

New street signs reflect history
Rv Eric Taylor
Special to the Kansas
Historic-looking street signs are slowly replacing the traditional green street signs on corners in the two neighborhoods, which together comprise the area between Sixth and 17th streets and Massachusetts and Michigan streets.
It's out with the new and in with the old in the Oread and Old West Lawrence neighborhoods.
The new signs are the brainchild of Angela Candela, who said she was intrigued by the old signs she noticed while researching her Old West Lawrence home.
"I noticed in an old photograph that the signs were black with white, block letters," Candela said.
"I was interested in old maps of Lawrence, and I noticed the numbered streets used to have names," she said.
Candela designed the signs to look a little older and classier. On the numbered streets, Candela placed a small box with the original street name below the number.
Many of the numbered streets were originally named after Revolutionary War heroes, Candela said.
"Warren Street, which is now Ninth Street, was named after Joseph Warren, who was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill," she said. Candela said she was satisfied
"I'm not a graphic designer, so I was a little reluctant," she said.
Candela said she was satisfied with the design of the signs.
"But I made them how I thought the signs should look, and others seemed to like it. It's a nice way to educate people about history."
Janet Gerstner, treasurer and secretary of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said the signs were financed as part of $2,500 city grant. The neighborhood associations proposed the idea to the city when applying for the grant, and the city accepted.
"The city street department is making the signs and installing them, which is really great of them, and they're really excited about the project," Gerstner said.
While the city grant will be able to cover all of Old West Lawrence with new signs, there will not be enough money to cover every street corner in the much larger Oread Neighborhood.
"Hopefully, in the future, we can find more funds to expand the area fully," Gerstner said.
Charlie Goff, coordinator and editor for the Oread Neighborhood Association Newsletter, said the Association was looking for other funding sources.
"It's very possible the Oread Neighborhood Association might use its own money to finish the project," Goff said.
Candela and others in the neighborhood associations hope the project will be completed by Lawrence's sesquicentennial the city's 15th birthday, in 2004.

Health educators push responsibility
By Livi Regenbaum
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
Samantha Newman hopes to prevent tragedy by educating students on living healthy and responsible lives.
Newman, Olathe senior, is a Peers Reaching Others health educator. As a community health major, being a health educator helped Newman to use her major to influence her peers to make healthy choices.
Bill Smith, health educator at Watkins, said becoming a certified peer educator was a way for students to get involved with the University and to interact with their peers in a helpful way.
The Center For Peer Health Education at Watkins Memorial Health Center hopes to get students involved in becoming certified peer educators in the fall. The certification training program is offered through the class Health, Sports & Exercise Science 265: Peer Health Advising, and also through the health education office at Watkins.
The certified peer education program is a 12-hour course in which students learn listening and communication skills in order to effectively speak to their peers about health issues. The certification is met through student groups BACCHUS and Gamma Peer Education Network. After certification, peer educators go out and speak to campus groups about a variety of health issues such as sex, self-esteem and alcohol.
"In general we tend to go to our friends before we go to a professionals," he said.
"It is a good opportunity for a student to strengthen their presentation and leadership skills."
Tyra Babington Coordinator for peer health education
"It is an opportunity to share information and encourage people to make good choices," he said.
Randall Rock, physician and medical director of health education at Watkins, said the program was a way for students to educate their peers.
Tyra Babington, coordinator for peer health education, said the program was a great way to strengthen one's communication skills.
"It is a good opportunity for a student to strengthen their presentation and leadership skills," she said.
Babington said the health education office was working to revitalize the campus group BACCHUS, a student organization which encourages students to make responsible choices. It is hoping to regain momentum in the fall.
Newman said it was important for students to become peer educators.
"Talk to people, get the word out there, tell them the embarrassing things," she said. "I want to let people know so we don't have to spend so much money on health care."
Americans not as multilingual

University international students agree: English is the universal language
By Michelle Ward
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Shung Ling Tan has studied English since preschool while learning Malaysia's traditional language, Malay, and Chinese from her Malaysian friends.
Tan is just one of many international students at the University of Kansas who can speak a number of languages. While they don't
A
fault American students for their lack of languages, international students say understanding several languages helps them communicate.
But they also said everyone must know English because it had developed into the universal language.
While English has blazed across Europe and the world, it might face a backlash as some countries try to hold onto their traditional languages.
"I think it's an advantage if you know more than one language," said Tan, Klang, Malaysia, junior. "The more languages you know the more you can interact with people."
Majid Ghavami, Overland Park junior, said Americans were brought up expecting everyone to understand English. He said many people would benefit from knowing a second language, to learn about different cultures and maybe find things that interest them.
people are curious," he said.
"They want to learn, but it's hard for them to take the initial step."
Ghavami grew up in America but in a Persian household. His first language was Farsi, and he said he was glad he learned it at an early age. While Farci was the only language spoken at his home, Ghavami had no problem learning English after watching Sesame Street and learning from his friends.
But Norman Yetman, chairman of American Studies, said Americans did not learn more languages because they didn't have to. English has become the international language, Yetman said, and it was a reflection of America's economic, political, military and cultural dominance.
Yetman said he traveled to Denmark 20 years ago and made a diligent effort to learn Danish. He did not want people to think of him as the "ugly American," but he could not get the language down. After he "murdered" a phrase, people would respond to him in perfect English. He said after he apologized for his poor language skills, people would tell him they had to learn English.
"We have a certain arrogance," he said. "We just expect the rest of the world will accept us."
The idea of English domination does not set well with all cultures. European countries are starting to fight back to keep their traditional national languages. France has passed a number of laws to protect the French language, The New York Times reported two weeks ago. French must be used in all advertising, labeling and instruction manuals.
Germans have eased a number of
English words into their language such as "flirt," "clever" and "baby." But more than half of the German people in a recent poll were against the use of English, according to the Times.
But Bettina von Helverson, Erlangen, Germany, graduate student, said she didn't think a full backlash would occur in her country or any other. English is used as the common language among too many people, she said.
While English is the dominate language used by von Helverson, she said Americans tried to speak German with her all the time. She said it was cute, not offensive or annoying, when people spoke in broken German to her.
"It's very important to learn English," von Helverson said. "You need it all the time, and don't think it destroys the purity of the language."

Ironically, Frederick recently announced a preferred seating program for Allen Fieldhouse in an attempt to extract even more revenue from basketball fans. The program would entitle the largest donors — $10,000 and up — to buy the best season ticket locations.

soon.
"That doesn't mean there won't be some compromise reached where the student-athletes receive some stipend for playing," Martin said. "Factoring in miscellaneous things like going to the laundromat, gasoline costs and out with friends would help."
Gregory worked part-time summer jobs at K-mart and a metal company in Columbus early in his college career and saved some money for college living expenses. His family provided the rest.
"I definitely don't think that's fair," Gregory said. "With any business you should reward the people you are making proceeds off of."
"It's impossible," he said.
"There's no chance that can happen with the schedules that we have."
Paying the bills
A supportive family kept Gregory on his feet during college and helped him make ends meet.
Gregory said his family shouldn't have to support him because he should be paid for playing basketball.
Nick Bradford, last year's team captain, had to use his own savings, in addition to help from family funds, to pay his expenses. He said most KU players had to make sacrifices because money was limited.
Gregory said the time spent on basketball and academics made it unrealistic for him to have a part-time job, even though NCAA rules allowed it.
"Ihad to conserve my meals—and I eat a lot," Bradford said. "You'd have to not eat an appetizer or another course in a meal. You have to conserve on the things that you wear and the things that you do."
profitting even from non-basketball ventures.
"There were times where I was pretty much broke," Bradford said. "I definitely went without some stuff that I could have used."
When Jayhawk guard Jerod Haase wrote *Floor Burns*, a book about a year in the life of a college basketball player, NCAA rules prohibited him from selling it until after his career was finished.
Kansas senior swingman Luke Axtell released a self-titled country music CD during the summer of 2000, only to have it yanked from the shelves. The NCAA threatened to suspend Axtell if he didn't stop selling his CD, even though basketball wasn't mentioned in his songs or the CD liner.
from the album might be linked to Axtell's celebrity status as a college basketball player.
Axtell doesn't think the NCAA ban was fair because it did not promote or exploit his basketball talent. The NCAA counters that profit
A lthough Axtell couldn't benefit from his own celebrity status to sell his $15 CD, the NCAA and the KU Athletic Department exploited that same celebrity
status to sell $50 jerseys with
Axtell's name on the back.
Axtell said it was just another way the NCAA disrespected student-athletes 'effort.

Players wanting money can also declare for the NBA draft and try their luck there, as Pierce, now a star for the Boston Celtics, did.
Kansas sophomore forward Drew Gooden considered but rejected leaving early for the NBA. He admits he doesn't have the financial burdens some of his teammates have.
"It's pretty sick if you ask me, all of the money that's made from us playing ball," Axtell said.
David Katzman, KU professor and chair of American Studies, was a three-year member of the University Athletic Board and has
Williams said NBA scouts told him Gooden would have been drafted in the first round. He would have earned at least a 3-year, $2.6 million rookie contract as an NBA player, with an additional multimillion-dollar signing bonus. Instead, he will work as a KU player for his $15,000 scholarship — money he will never actually see.
Now that his basketball career is finished, he is free from NCAA restrictions. His CDs are available for purchase again, and he said he was beginning work on a second album.
Assistance options and restrictions
Recent early departures for the NBA by college stars caught the NCAA's attention. In April, the NCAA responded by announcing that basketball players considered likely first-round draft picks could take out a $20,000 bank loan that would be repaid once the player was drafted.
This rule was implemented in response to complaints that premier college players were leaving for the NBA because they needed money they could not obtain at the college level.
The NCAA recently took one step to benefit the college game's elite olavers.
Although the rule would have applied to Paul Pierce, the last KU player to depart early to the NBA, Frederick said he didn't think a $20,000 loan was the solution to keeping college basketball's stars in school.
"I don't think you can buy a Lincoln Navigator for $20,000, or whatever's the hottest thing at the time," said Frederick, who recently announced his resignation as athletics director as of June 30. "I don't know how they reached that number, but I think that's a pretty
Despite allowing a $20,000 loan, Martin said everyday expenses still would not be covered by scholarships, so players not considered NBA material would receive no extra financial help.
small number to convince guys to stay in school."
Former Missouri Tiger Albert White left for the NBA after his junior year because he said he needed to support his family, and playing college basketball for free was a financial burden. White went undrafted and played in the CBA until the league broke up this year.

Porter was suspended at the end of his senior season for accepting $2,500 from a sports agent. He gave the money to his mother so she wouldn't be evicted from her home.
Others, such as former Auburn standout Chris Porter, turn to sports agents who are deemed illegal by the NCAA.

taught and材ured about intercollegiate athletics. He said student-athletes shouldn't have to rely on families for financial support and that universities should pay players a fair wage for their work.
Katzman blames universities nationwide for allowing the NCAA to impose
such constricting rules on studentathletes, rather than treating them as paid employees who are providing a service. He said the current system was set up by universities to serve their own interests, not those of players.
"We're in the business now of entertainment at the University, not just education," Katzman said. "One of the areas we offer entertainment is sports, but we do it by exploiting the athlete rather than allowing them to accrue some of the economic benefits from their production."
The NCAA won't allow student-athletes to consult sports agents for advice, even though universities have professional consultants and attorneys, Katzman said. Players should have the opportunity to get advice from sports agents to find out their value as an athlete, he said.
"For the kids this is a unique experience for them and their families, but whatever they negotiate with the University is not equal," Katzman said. "The University and the NCAA insure that it isn't equal by saying you cannot get professional advice from the people — agents — who know this system best. You have to negotiate with experienced people, and we're going to ensure that you are naive and underrepresented. We've rigged the system to screw them."
Frederick said players could access that information by consulting their coaches and having them contact NBA scouts and coaches to determine their value.
"I think a player on Kansas' team could ask coach Williams where they'd be drafted coming out early," Frederick said. "He would talk to some NBA people and he'd tell them honestly I
don't think you have to deal with agents."
What if players were paid?
Gregory doesn't think players need to make the millions that NBA players earn, but he suggests that they get some financial reimbursement for their work, perhaps a monthly stipend for living expenses.
"We do get our education and that's a positive; that's good," Gregory said. "But on the flip side, you look at the numbers and the CBS package that the NCAA has worth billions of dollars, and you have to think that you could take a couple thousand dollars to give out to the players that you're making money off of.
"I don't think it would hurt their wallets too much."
Martin said paying student-ath-letes to play could be financially devastating for smaller universi
ties but that larger programs could do it.
Paying a salary, or even an extra stipend, could require athletes to pay taxes on all of their benefits, Martin said.
"If you were also being paid for your play, then you would be working for the athletics department and institution as an employee," Martin said.
That would require decisions about Social Security, health insurance, retirement and other employee benefits, she said.
Katzman said the enormous surplus produced by college basketball and its $1.725 billion TV contract with CBS should make paying basketball players feasible.
"It would be tremendously expensive," Frederick said. "As soon as we start paying student-athletes, all equity issues are going to be raised, and we'll be paying everybody. You're talking about tremendously raising the costs of running a program."
The basketball team's projected income this year was $4.75 million, with expenses of $1.8 million, for a profit of almost $3 million. The athletics department spent just $164,366 for men's basketball player scholarships this year, only 3.5 percent of the season's total income.
Frederick said those numbers were deceiving because the school's non-revenue sports — soccer, volleyball, rowing, track and field, golf, swimming, tennis, softball and baseball — were all supported by men's basketball revenue. He said KU would have less money for those teams if basketball players were paid.
Need money? Go somewhere else
"There's no administrator getting rich from the CBS contract," Frederick said. "Those young people are generating a lot of revenue, but its going back to the student-athletes on their campus."
If college players desire compensation beyond an education, Frederick suggested they consider the ABA or the NBA's developmental league now in the planning stages. He said not all basketball players belong in college and that those leagues might present better options for some.
"The new NBA developmental league wants to have an age limit of 21, but I wish they'd made it 19," Frederick said. "There's a percentage of young people coming out of high school to play college basketball for no other reason than to increase their opportunity to play professionally. They have no interest in school. If that's the case, then maybe they should be in the NBA developmental league instead of college."
For the majority of KU players, such as Bradford, their basketball careers end after college, meaning they never see cash for their talents. Bradford was cut by the ABA's Kansas City Knights this year. His dream of playing professionally is over.
Like too many college players, Bradford didn't complete his college education, which is his only compensation for playing basketball. He will finish his degree this spring and hopes to begin a coaching career.
Axtell dropped all of his classes this semester and moved back home to Austin, Texas, to undergo treatment for his ailing back and may never complete his degree at Kansas.
Only 54 percent of KU basketball players have graduated during the last five years, based on the NCAA's six-year allotment.
Although Gregory has used up his eligibility, he still has one semester of classes remaining. He plans to earn his degree, but will focus now on succeeding in professional basketball.
If he is not selected in the June NBA draft, Gregory's basketball career —like Bradford's —could be over.
He had his opportunity to be adored by KU fans while defying gravity with his dunks, but he sometimes had to look under his couch cushions for coins when he wanted to go to the movies with friends.

The female figure at the chessboard table outside Wescoe Terrace listens intently. She speaks happily, oblivious to the dozens of students streaming by her.

"Yeah, I thought he was going to kill me."
More students pass, talking to themselves. She stares ahead into air about two feet from her face.
"hey listen, I have to get to class. Gotta go!"
They're everywhere
And seemingly, everyone has them. Cellular phones, not too many years ago a price novelty, have become an integral part of the college lifestyle. The constant chattering and ringing of the tiny phones has wormed into the daily lives of all students — whether or not they actually own a cell phone.
"You literally are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week," says Howard Sypher, communications studies professor. "People expect you to keep your cell phone on."
Mike Leeper, Tonganoxie freshman, doesn't own a cell phone. But he wants one.
"If I got one," he says, "I'd just start dialing people at random to see if I could make friends."
Dwindling personal space
Leeper stops people at random to use their cell phones. While walking on Massachusetts Street, the 6'5", spiky-haired, seven-earringed Leeper asks people deep in conversation to share their talk.
"It a fun little game of embarrassing people," he says. "If you're going to be ridiculous enough to talk about your ex-boyfriend's freaky mole, I'm going to embarrass you about it."
But the embarrassment
usually is short-lived. One girlfriend Leeper talk to her boyfriend for five minutes before she said she had to go.
"Most people are pretty cool about it," he says. "There's only a very few people who are really freaked out. Cell phone folks tend to be pretty laid-back."
Leeper admits he's jealous of people with cell phones, though.
"On one hand, it's really ridiculous," he says. "On the other hand, I really want to do that."
"I was driving back and forth from Lawrence every now and then, and my mom freaked out and decided I needed a phone in case my car broke down." Robertson says.
Kim Robertson, Lenexa senior, owns a cell phone. She insists it wasn't her idea.
But Robertson has noticed her personal space dwindling since she started carrying the squarish, black Audiovox digital phone.
Since then, Robertson's 11-year-old Toyota Camry has broken down twice. She was glad to have the phone.
*Honestly, don't you love it.*
She's noticed people talking about personal issues on their cell phones and says she tries to avoid doing it.
"The cell phone is not for serious talks," she says. "It's controllable. It's like the TV, you can turn it off."
"It ites irritating because you can't really get away from people," she says. "You just don't have any place you can go."

Her head bobs up and down.
"Did you stay up late last night?"

Jenn Johnson, Leavenworth senior, actually works for a cell phone company. She doesn't want to say which one, as she's not a fan of the phones.
She says it's easy for people to be overwhelmed and financially exploited by cell phone technology. Unlike home phone charges, cell phone bills include incoming and incomplete calls.
"It's like a credit card in disguise," Johnson says. "I've seen more people get into trouble with cell phones, honestly, than I've seen people get into with credit cards."
Johnson bought a cell phone for her mother—but doesn't carry one herself.
"To me, it makes more sense to have a home phone," she says. "I don't know if the small amount of convenience is worth all the extra money you pay for it."
She says she's heard cell phone users have loud, intimate conversations. But she's hesitant to put the blame on the phones.
"It's more a matter of different people using their cell phones in different ways," she says. "I've seen people on pay phones do the same thing."
Howard Sypher specializes in new communications technology. He says cell phone use in the United States has grown in the last five years as phone companies increase competition and the phones become cheaper. About 25 percent of Americans now own wireless phones. And the technology is still developing.

"The biggest luxury is not to answer," he says.
Cell phone usage
About 25 percent of Americans own cell phones, while about 75 percent of Europeans own them.
About 20 percent of American teens own cell phones. More girls own them than boys.
The standard for digital cell phones was established in Europe in the mid-1980s — more than a decade before the phones became popular in this country.

Hemenway's steps get repairs
By Rachel Moluf
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
Chancellor Robert Hemenway might want to watch his step, but some students think repairs on campus should come before repairs to the chancellor's steps.
Workers from Facilities Operations will be renovating the front stairs of the chancellor's house until the end of the month, said Larry Rawlings, assistant director of the construction department of Facilities Operations.

Marianne Hovgaard, Veije, Denmark, senior, said she thought the University should first focus on repairing busy stairwells.
"I think people's safety should come first," Hovgaard said. "Lots of people use the stairs between Watkins and Miller Scholarship Halls, and those stairs are pretty bad. I think they should fix them before they work on beautification."
Hovgaard said she understood that it could be difficult to close a major path while classes were in session, but that people had alternatives to
using that route. She said she had been pleased with some of the repairs she had seen on campus, but there needed to be more.
"I saw that they fixed up those stairs between Blake and Twente halls, which really made me happy," Hovgaard said. "It's depressing when things are falling apart and don't look maintained."
Jim Long, assistant provost for planning and facilities management, said when stairs deteriorated and tiles came off, they needed to be fixed immediately—including those of the chancellor's house.
"That is a process you have to stop, because it just gets worse and worse and worse," Long said. "Especially with the large number of people that visit the chancellor's house."
Last week, workers removed the tiles and poured new concrete, Rawlings said. This week they began replacing the mortarboard and laying new tiles.
"When moisture gets in the joints of the stairs, it rots out the concrete and pops the tiles loose," Rawlings said.
"In this case, some tiles broke loose
and others cracked.
Rawling said workers would have to devote a lot of time to the tiles and follow the tiles' established pattern.
moist and not too dry,"he said.
"We also have to have the mortar just right to keep the tiles on—not too
Rawlings said if weather cooperated, the repairs should be finished by the end of the month.

Multiple break-ups hurt confidence
Bv Sarah Smarsh

Kansan staff writer
One week they're in love, and the next week they hate each other. One week they're crying about one another, and the next week they're holding hands. You know them — the multiple break-up couples.
College is often a tumultuous time for committed relationships, as people change and paths diverge. Many couples find themselves breaking up and getting back together over and over again.
Christina Peter, Tribute junior, recently reunited with her long-time, on-again-off against boyfriend. Peter said she and her boyfriend, who moved to Seattle last year, had broken up three times since they hooked up almost three years ago as college freshmen. She said their
relationship had been erratic, partly because of the distance between them.
"One week, everything would be perfect, and the next week sometimes I didn't even know who he was or where he was." Peter said.
Peter said the breakup began with trivial disagreements.
"It would start out with the dumbest things, but then it would just escalate from there," she said, but added that the underlying, meaningful issues included her boyfriend's fear of commitment and her passive-aggressive nature.
"It seemed like I was always up and down with my emotions," she said.
Peter said the unstable periods took a toll on her, mentally.
Joyce Davidson, a psychologist at Psychological and Career Services, said she had heard similar tales from a number of her student
patients. Davidson said a pattern of throwing in the towel at signs of trouble could dash hopes for the future.
"If you change your mind about something that's important to you more than once or twice, it undermines confidence in the relationship," Davidson said.
Becky Falter, Long Grove, Ill. junior, said she and her boyfriend of more than two years had endured extreme ups and downs. Falter said the relationship faltered when she moved home for six months after her freshman year, a period marked by horrible fights.
"The hardest thing was going to bed at night knowing we were pissed off at each other, and not knowing what was going to happen the next day," Falter said.
Faltar and her boyfriend now live together and think things will work out.
"As they get stronger and more mature individually, they're able to break those patterns," she said.
Davidson said multiple break-up couples could make it in the long run.
Peter said she and her boyfriend, who might return to the University next fall, had both matured, deciding to give it another shot by improving communication and changing their perspectives.
"Both of us need to grow up," she said. "We need to start acting like we're in a committed relationship. No more games."
Peter added that if they don't make it work this time, there wouldn't be a next time.
"I wouldn't be able to deal with all that again," she said.

Storytelling class shares tellable tales
Bossler Hix
Like other University of Kansas students at the start of each semester, Derek Shancer went to the wrong class.
Welcome to the wonderful world of storytelling, KU style.

The women's rhetoric class the Overland Park senior expected to be at 4058 Wescoe met in a different room, but Shaner did not find out until after class started.

Shaner stayed through the class he went to, narratives for personal growth, and liked it so much he decided to take the class.
the class was being offered for the first time at the University and meets Tuesdays and Thursdays.
On Thursdays, students tell their stories, which last between five and 10 minutes. Either students or Friedman ask questions after the story before moving on to the next story.
"I want them to see stories as tools they can use to make a difference for other people," he said. "There is a vast list of literature of tellable stories that provide

insights about all of the major issues of life."
Stories also can be used to give advice, move or comfort someone, lighten a situation or sell an idea or product, Friedman said.
Shaner said the class had benefited him more than learning how to tell stories. He said he had made friends with his classmates and grown comfortable with them.
"People I never would've met, I'm friends with here," he said. "It's actually good public speaking. It makes you more comfortable to talk in front of people. It's good practice."
The class has grown closer, Friedman said, because of the nature of the class and that people had grown to know each other from their stories.
"You need to be for people to tell stories about their own lives," he said. "Stories open people up to each other."
Sherre-Khan Blackmon, Houston senior, said the class had shown her that people experience the same type of things, but that they viewed those experiences from different perspectives.
"It's a good class to take," he said. "I've told people if they offer this class again to take it."
Friedman said he hoped the class would be offered again next spring.

Journalists applauding Crystal film
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Sportswriters, often viewed as cantankerous and annoying, come off as the bad guys in 61*, Billy Crystal's celebration of the Roger Maris-Mickey Mantle 1961 pursuit of Babe Ruth's home run record.
At least three journalists who were there that summer object to that characterization.
A.
Phil Pepe covered the home run chase for the New York W Or l D Telegram & Sun and watched the film at last week's preview.
Crystalh his film has impressed various sportswriters
impressed with it, he said. "The actors (Barry Pepper as Maris and Thomas Jane as Mantle) exactly captured their personalities, their gestures, their swings. It was scary."
Individual writers are not identified in the film. Milton Gross, Dick Young and others who covered the chase, are recognizable.
"Gross and Young supported Maris," Pepe said.
Not in the HBO account.
Steve Jacobson of *Newsday* was on the Yankees beat in 1961.
"I thought the movie was engrossing," he said. "The characters of Maris and Mantle were terrific. The newspapermen played as villains — that's inaccurate. And so was the booing."
That, Pepe said, could be traced to Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby. Hired as a coach for the expansion New York Mets in 1962, Hornsby was critical of Maris being mentioned in the same breath with a baseball icon like Ruth.
The movie portrays Maris as being reclusive, unhappy with all the attention generated by the chase. Jacobson said that was accurate.
"What Maris didn't understand was that he was the story," he said. "It was inescapable and there were so many writers around, they never saw those kind of numbers before. One of the curses were people who never covered sports."
Series could pit perennial losers
If history repeats itself Minnesota will face the Cubs in October
The Associated Press
It's early to start planning for that Cubs-Twins World Series, but some of baseball's surprising starts this season might mean something.
April success has translated very well to October baseball recently. Fifteen of the past 18 teams that held a share of first place entering May went on to make the playoffs.
That's good news for AL East co-leaders Boston and Toronto, as well as the other division leaders: Minnesota, Seattle, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and the Chicago Cubs.
But they aren't buying into the history vet.
"A good start means nothing without a good finish." said Corey Koskie, one of the keys to the Twins' surprising start.
it's been a wild opening month in the
majors. Three last-place teams from 2000 — the Twins, Phillies and Cubs — are in first place, while none of last year's NL division winners — Atlanta, St. Louis and San Francisco — are playing above .500.
"We started the season very well and we're in first place right now, so we don't have any complaints," Philadelphia's Bobby Abreu said. "We just have to keep pushing."
It's even worse for the NL champion Mets, as well as Oakland and the White Sox — the two teams with the best records in the AL last season. All three of those teams entered May in last place.
"I know everything's going to change," Jose Valentin of the White Sox said. "I think we've got a better team than last year. We've just got to put it together."
They better start soon.
The White Sox were nine games behind Minnesota before the Twins' game Monday night against the Yankees. Oakland ended the month 12 games behind the surprising Mariners.
No team since Detroit in 1987 has finished April more than five games out of first place and ended up in the postseason.
"As far as we're concerned, we're not
"A good start means nothing without a good finish."
Corey Koskie Twins third baseman
enjoying it," A's manager Art Howe said. "I know we have a long way to go. If we don't start winning it could be even longer."
if the season ended today, the playoffs would be filled with misfits.
The Twins had the worst record in the AL last year and haven't finished with a winning record since 1992. The Mariners set an April record with 20 wins despite losing Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson in less than three years.
"We just don't feel like we're going to lose," said Mike Cameron, who replaced Griffey in center field before last season. "The way we've been playing, it seems like we can't lose a game. We've had some luck, but luck comes from being good and we've been good."
The Blue Jays haven't been to the postseason since 1993 and traded 20-game winner David Wells to the White Sox for Mike
surotta, who won't pitch this year because of a shoulder injury. The Red Sox, behind a patchwork pitching staff, are thriving despite missing Nomar Garciaparra.
The National League might be even stranger.
The Cubs and Phillies were tied with the worst records in baseball last year. The Reds, who are leading the wild card race, haven't gotten a single hit from Griffey. Then there's the dysfunctional Dodgers, who endured Gary Sheffield's spring holdout and general manager Kevin Malone's forced resignation.
"It's only a distraction when you're off the field," closer Shaw said of Malone's resignation. "The only things these 25 guys in this room and the coaching staff are concerning ourselves with is what we do when we take the field. Then all that 'distraction' stuff goes out the window."
Maybe all of these surprises are fitting considering that it's the 10-year anniversary of the worst-to-first World Series, when Minnesota beat Atlanta in seven games.
"Shhh. Don't even talk about that," said closer LaTroy Hawkins. "Cleveland gets hot, Chicago gets hot. It's way too early."
New strike zone blamed for offensive decline
Could there be another worst-to-first story for the Twins?
One month after baseball started to enforce its new strike zone,
Larger zone forcing hitters' numbers down
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — David Justice kept flailing away at the plate, striking out four times against Boston before hitting a game-winning home run.
After 11 years in the major leagues, he was trying to adjust to a new strike zone.
"That's not easy," said the New York Yankees designated hitter, who had struck out four times in a game only once before in his career. "As soon as you see a ball's high, you swing. If you don't approach it right, you pop up."
strikeouts are up, while walks, home runs, batting average and ERA are all down.
This is what commissioner Bud Selig envisioned when he told his aides to demand that umpires move the strike zone up and narrow it. For 20 years, it had gotten lower and wider, umpires ignoring the definition that had been in the Official Baseball Rules for more than a century.
"I think the strike zone is a little higher, generally." Houston Astros manager Larry Dierker said. "We have a couple of guys calling it the way it used to be, but I think they're trying to follow the rule."
There was an average of 2.34 home runs per game in April, down 8.6 percent from the record average of 2.54 in the first month of last season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, baseball's statistician.
dramatic, with the 2001 average remaining 5.4 percent above the 1999 average of 2.22.
Walks decreased 13.3 percent,
from 7.82 per game to 6.78, and
strikeouts increased 5.4 percent,
from 12.91 to 13.61.
Still, the decrease wasn't that
That shows the strike zone really is getting larger.
"I've been happy with the consistency in the five games I pitched," Arizona's Curt Schilling said. "I didn't think it would be that easy for them to make that adjustment, but I think so far they've done a good job."
As new ballparks have opened, year-to-year statistical comparisons have become more difficult to evaluate because the new ballparks have different — and usually smaller — dimensions.
Three new ballparks opened last year — hitter-friendly Enron Field in Houston, pitcher friendly Comerica Park in Detroit and Pacific Bell Park in
San Francisco. Two ballparks opened this season, with no dramatic changes evident yet: Miller Park in Milwaukee and PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
Whatever the factors, offense is down this year, with batting average dropping 3.7 percent (.270 to .260), runs falling 10.6 percent (10.75 per game to 9.61) and hits decreasing 4.4 percent (18.56 to 1.774).
Among power categories, doubles dropped 9.1 percent (3.81 per game to 3.46) and triples fell 7.3 percent (0.41 to 0.38).
Pitchers have been the beneficiaries, with the major league ERA falling 9.5 percent, from 4.93 to 4.46.
"Last year, my strike zone was wide," Houston shortstop Julio Lugo said. "I wasn't getting that outside pitch at all. Now there are more high strikes."
While the stats have changed, they aren't affecting styles on the field.
HIT SHORTAGE
Offensive production is down this season, because of a new strike zone and new, pitcher-friendly ballparks.
This year's new parks: Milli Park, Milwaukee; PNC Park, Pittsburgh
Last year’s new parks: Enron Field, Houston; Camerica Park, Detroit; Pacific Bell Park, San Francisco
"There are only a few pitchers who can take advantage of pitching up there, and we don't have that type of pitcher," New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine said. "For a lot of pitchers, it's a disadvantage to pitch up there."
While management hoped a bigger strike zone would speed the pace of games, speed has changed only minimally. Through Sunday, the average time of a nine-inning game was 2 hours, 54 minutes, a decrease of only three minutes from last season.

Deion makes dramatic return to Reds
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — A thick, jeweled cross swung from the gold chain around Deion Sanders' neck. The fingers of black batting gloves poked from the back left pocket of his pinstriped Cincinnati Reds pants.
Mingling religion and baseball, the two-sport athlete returned to the major leagues yesterday with one thing in mind: showing he belonged.
After only two at-bats, he had made his point.
REDS
Sanders lined a single to center on the first pitch he saw from Los Angeles' Greg Gagne in the first inning. Sanders got a standing ovation and a curtain call in the second inning, when he again hit Gagne's first pitch for a three-run homer that put the Reds up 5-1.
As a banner in right field proclaimed, it was again Prime Time in Cincinnati. The only question was: For how long?
During pregame interviews, the Washington Redskins cornerback refused to say how long he'd stay in Cincinnati. He turned aside all football questions, doting on that sport only long enough to use it as a measuring stick for his latest fling with baseball.
"If you look back at football — it's been a good run," said Sanders, whose contract with the Redskins allows him to play baseball. "There isn't too much more I can do. In baseball, there's much to do, so much to accomplish, and it's a challenge."
Sanders, 33, hadn't played in the major leagues since Sept. 4, 1997, a span of 1,364 days. He didn't play baseball at all in 1998-99, and passed up chance to play for the Reds last season.
When he asked general manager Jim Bowden for one more chance over the winter, Bowden relented. Sanders got a minor league contract, an invitation to spring training and an opportunity that turned out better than anyone expected.
Sanders was leading the International League in hitting with a 459 average when the Reds called him up from Triple-A Louisville yesterday — the first day the Reds were allowed to, under baseball's rules. He was in the starting lineup, batting second and playing left field.
"I feel like I earned my way back," Sanders said. "It was not just given, and that was very important to me."
He gave no hints about how long he'll stay.
When Sanders was with the Reds in 1997, he left to go play football for Dallas in September. After one month in the minors last year, he decided to go back home to Dallas and later refused a call-up, saying he wanted to concentrate on football.
This time?
"We signed Deion with the expectations that if he made the big league club, that he'd be here throughout and help us win until the last out is made in our season," said Bowden, standing behind the batting cage.
Sanders wouldn't go quite that far. Three times, he was asked how long he'd stay with the Reds. Three times, he dodged the question.
"I haven't even made a commitment to the realtor," he said, grinning. "You know what? I'm going to be happy, man. That's first and foremost—that I am happy and I am at peace in whatever decision I make."
The only time that his voice took on an edge during two rounds of interviews was when someone asked whether he felt an obligation to the Redskins.
"It's like asking if they feel obligations to me," he said. "Pose that question to them."
The Reds have a minimal obligation to Sanders. Shortly after he arrived in the clubhouse at noontime to start unpacking, he went up to Bowden's office to sign a $500,000, one-year contract that contains no incentives or options for future years, according to Bowden.
Sanders posted a verse from one of the Psalms above his locker and added a "Jesus Loves You" banner below his nameplate. Sanders had a change of heart about religion when he was with the Reds in 1997, his last in the majors.
A. 266 career hitter who never reached base often enough to use his speed, Sanders seemed to change his hitting approach during his 19-game stint in Louisville. He led the International League in hitting, triples, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.
"I don't think I'm a different ballplayer," Sanders said. "I'm a different person."
With Ken Griffey Jr. disabled by a torn nantstring, Sanders will get a chance to play often. Manager Bob Boone uses his bench a lot and likes Sander's speed.
"He's coming in as an extra outfielder and we'll see," Boone said. "We'll see how good he does."
Ryan's seven no-hitters still an amazing feat
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — Nolan Ryan remembers being laughed at in 1979 when he became baseball's first $1 million player and said his contract quickly would be dwarfed.
"They made fun of that," Ryan said yesterday. "Shortly thereafter, people surpassed that figure. And we know what has happened since then."
Even he was amazed during the off-season when the Rangers signed shortstop Alex Rodriguez to a record $252 million, 10-year contract.
ryan was at the Ballpark in Arlington for a pregame ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary of the last of his record seven no-hitters. At age 44, he pitched a no-hit, 3-0 victory for Texas against Toronto.
"Wow, I thought that was pretty interesting." Ryan said. "When they
went over $10 million, I thought they were probably reaching the limits then."
Ryan's last no-hitter came at Arlington Stadium. He calls it the most memorable of his seven.
"Look back on it and you realize that it's been 10 years and how quick that time's gone," Ryan said. "It's the most recent in my memory. There was a pretty good span between the first and the last one. I think too, I really thought that was a part of my career that was over with."
Ryan struck out 16 of the 29 batters he faced against Toronto in the 3-0 victory. Kelly Gruber and Joe Carter were the only two Blue Jays to reach, both on walks.
Steve Buechele, the Rangers third baseman that night, knew after the first inning as he and shortstop Jeff
Huson ran off the field it could be a special night.
"We both had that look like, 'All right, here we go again,' because it was that dominating a first inning." Buechel said yesterday. "We both just knew of that he had good stuff that night and this could be another one."
Ryan threw his first two no-hitters with California in 1973, and threw one in each of the next two seasons for the Angels. The fifth no-hitter came in 1981, his second year with Houston, and No.6 was in 1990.
"It's amazing. What he did was unbelievable," said Rafael Palmeiro, the Rangers first baseman yesterday and also a decade earlier. "Just think, half of those hitters could have been no hitters. That would have been 13no-hitters, and would have been the most unbelievable record. It still is anyway."
Though he rarely reflects on his playing days, Ryan said watching a replay of the seventh no-hitter gave him goosebumps.
Ryan still throws occasionally, most recently with one of his three children this spring. While he used to routinely throw 100 mph or more, he's not sure of what his velocity is now.
Double bypass heart surgery in April 2000 and a brief hospital stay because of tightness in his chest last October forced Ryan to curtail his physical activities some. But he's looking fit and feeling good.
"Since about February, everything has been going well. They seem to have me pretty well lined up," Ryan said. "I'm pretty much back to normal activities, but I don't work out as strenuously as I used to."

Spurs fans giddy about playoffs
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Black-and-white flags are flapping in the wind from atop cars zipping through San Antonio.
Dozens of fans lined up at the Alamodome before daybreak to wait for the ticket office to open and buy seats to the second round of the NBA playoffs.
Even the men in blue are going crazy for the men in black and white, according to David Robinson, who chatted with a police officer after returning from Minnesota following San Antonio's clinching of the opening-round series on Monday night.
"He was so excited about what's going on with the Spurs," Robinson said, laughing. "It's just been a buzz."
With the help of Robinson's 21 points and 14 rebounds, the Spurs
SAN ANTONIO
SPXRB
beat Minnesota 97-84 Monday night to win the best-of-five series in four games. They will face Utah or Dallas in the Western Conference semifinals beginning Saturday in San Antonio.
The Spurs, who won the NBA title two years ago, once again are climbing up the playoff chart after seeing last year's season end in the first round.
This year, Robinson and Duncan are complemented by athletic and often high-scoring Derek Anderson and Danny Ferry, one of the most accurate 3-point shooters in the league.
"I think our team is beginning to come together and believe in ourselves," Robinson said Tuesday as the Spurs announced plans to donate $1 million to the Carver Academy, a private, religious school being founded by Robinson.
"The way we responded in Minnesota was tremendous," he said. "To win on the road, that takes a lot of toughness."
Adjustments to the team — even forced ones—may end up paying off, he said. For example, Ferry and Terry Porter now are starting in place of Sean Elliott and Avery Johnson because of injuries earlier in the season.
"One thing about that championship team was that we had 12 guys who were always ready to play." Robinson said. "You could always
That has only added to the Spurs' depth and versatility
get some help off the bench.
Ferry and reserve Antonio Daniels each hit four 3-pointers in the final game against the Timberwolves.
And then there's Robinson, who answered consecutive 3-pointers by Anthony Peeler with two clutch baskets to give the Spurs a 79-73 lead.
"This bench, I think, is even deeper than that one. That's the thing I'm most encouraged about... You bring in guys like Avery and Sean and Malik (Rose) off the bench, wow, what can you say."
"You try to neutralize them, but it all happens in two minutes," Minnesota forward Kevin Garnett said. "They get a dunk and a 3-pointer. They make plays. They are more dominant than we are. I guess that's what makes them the No. 1 seed."
"It told our guys they had nothing to hang their heads about," Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. "Robinson was just exceptional tonight."
Carter's poor play irritating teammates
The Associated Press
TORONTO — Another dose of "Anti-Vinsanity" struck the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday as Charles Oakley criticized teammate Vince Carter for trying to deflect attention away from himself and onto the team as a whole.
"All the plays go through Vince. The focus on Vince has been there all year. You can't shy away from it now," Oakley said. "This is the time you have to step up and be a man about it, you know?
RAPTORS
Vince, Vince, Vince."
you know.
"When they made the
When they made it Dream Team, he went, all 12 of us didn't go. When they do commercials, we don't go. He goes," Oakley said.
Carter is shooting a shade under 31 percent in the series and averaging just 18.3 points — almost a 10-point drop off from his scoring average during the regular season.
The best-of-five series resumes tonight with the Knicks leading 2-1, and Carter continues to insist that all blame and all praise be shared collectively, not individually.
"It's still a team game," Carter said. "I'm not going to win a playoff game by myself, and I'm not going to win a playoff series by myself. so I'm not going to let anybody sit here and say it's all about
Before the first playoff game against the Knicks, Carter said he had "nothing to prove." It was somewhat of a mouthful for a player who shot 30 percent from the field and was swept out of the first-round a year earlier.
After a poor performance in Game 1, he refused to answer any questions about himself. After Toronto's loss in Game 3, he pulled the same stunt during postgame interviews.
The criticism of Carter has been building steadily throughout this series, and it even reared its head yesterday in this Carter-friendly, hockeymad city that often seems more concerned with whether Carter will leave as a free agent in 2003 that whether the Raptors will win this series.
"I think it's fair if he doesn't play well to say it, but at the same time I'm going to encourage him and try to get him ready," Raptors coach Lenny Wilkens said. "He is a little sensitive, but there's nothing wrong with that."
Somewhere during the past 16 months, Carter became uncomfortable being a one-man show the way he was at All-Star Weekend in 2000. It was there that he won the slam-dunk contest with so much showmanship and flair that he was quickly billed as the NBA's next rising superstar.
Carter didn't enter this year's dunk contest because he said he wanted to be known as more than a dunker.
Yesterday, he said he wanted to be known as more than a scorer.
Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy has pointed out that Carter shouldn't be judged solely by his 45 missed shots in 65 attempts, including eight of nine misses from 3-point range.
"Anytime a great player struggles you give some credit to the defense and some credit to him missing shots he would normally make. That being said, I don't judge a guy's play just by his shooting percentage. Twenty points, nine rebounds, four assists, 11 free throws — most people would say that's pretty good." Van Gundy said.
Oakley criticized Cater publicly after he shot 50-for-22 in Game 1, and Knicks 12th man Rick Brunson even offered a peek inside what the Knicks — or at least one of them — really think.
"Vince Carter — No heart! Me, I've got heart," the constantly trash-talking Brunson yelled in New York's locker room prior to Game 2 before being scolded by teammate Othella Harrington for making such inflammatory remarks in front of reporters.
Questions about Carter's shortcomings in this series have been answered by Carter with little more than shrugs and dismissive one-liners about how it's all about the team. If Carter could score as well as he can shrug, the Raptors might already be awaiting the outcome of the Pacers-76ers series to see who their next opponent will be.
"I've never won a game by myself, I've helped," Carter said. "I've put points together to help us win, but I haven't scored all 80 or 90 points. So I don't see it as a one-person show."

Men's tennis wants NCAA spot
Men's tennis team hopes to receive championship bid
By Aaron Johnson
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sports writer
The Kansas men's tennis team continues await the announcement of at-large berths to the NCAA Championships tomorrow.
The men's team concluded its regular season last week, losing to Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Tournament.
Kansas coach Ross Nwachukwu
said the loss to Oklahoma State for the third time this season was critical in the team's attempt for qualification into the NCAA Championships.
"Qualification is out of my hands," Nwachukwu said. "It would have helped if we would have beat Oklahoma State last weekend. We are going to keep our fingers crossed."
The Jayhawk's Eleazar Magallan said the chances the Hawks made the tournament were very low, but he still anticipated the announcement tomorrow.
Kansas' season included victories against Tulsa 5-2 on April 22, and nonconference wins earlier in the season against Pennsylvania
and then-No. 48 ranked Arkansas-Little Rock 4-1.
Kansas' doubles team of Magallan and Rodrigo Echagaray is also hoping for a berth in the NCAA Championship Doubles Tournament.
The two, who played No.1 singles for the majority of the season, went 12-9 overall, reaching No.32 nationally.
Magallan said the NCAA Doubles Competition provided a good opportunity for the pair to continue its success in tournaments. Echagaray and Magallan lost in the consolation finals of the Rolex National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships in February to UCLA's Jean-Noel Ginda and
"We have a good chance to do well in the tournament," Magallan said. "We are going to put everything on the table and hopefully do well."
Jean-Julien Roier.
The last year the Jayhawks made the NCAA Championships was in 1996 under coach Michael Center. The Jayhawks went 25-6 that year while capturing the Big Eight title. They were later defeated by Georgia 4-1 in the round of 16.
That year was also the last time the Jayhawks won the Region V Title. They also won in 1987, 1988, 1992, 1994 and 1995.
The NCAA Championships will be May 19-27 in Athens, Ga., this year.

Avalanche overcomes loss of top scorer
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — With or without Avalanche captain and top scorer Joe Sakic, Colorado coach Bob Hartley knows his team faces another rugged test against the Los Angeles Kings
Sakic bruised his right shoulder when the Kings' Jozef Stumpel and Jere Karalahti pinched him into the boards some three minutes into
A
Monday's Game 3. Sakic did not return, and missed practice yesterday while having therapy on his sore shoulder.
Hartley said Sakic felt better, but it wouldn't be determined until today whether he would be able to play in Game 4 this evening
"His shoulder is healing very well. Tomorrow will give us a better indication of what to expect from Joe and we'll move on," Hartley said. "There's never a good time to lose your captain, but injuries are part of the game."
"Ifelt like we regrouped as a team when Joe went down. Joe Sadik is a big part of the team, but we have many great hockey players who also can step up."
Despite losing Sakic, the league's second-leading scorer with 118 points this season, the Avalanche beat the Kings 4-3. The win gave Colorado a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven
Western Conference semifinal series.
Los Angeles coach Andy Murray didn't think Sacik's absence made much difference.
think sakic's absence made much difference.
"All it did was make us have to see (Peter)
Forsberg more, and he's a real machine," Murray said.
Forsberg had a goal and an assist, Milan Hejduk a goal and two assists and Alex Tanguay two assists as the Avalanche picked up the slack after Sakic went out.
Former Los Angeles defenseman Rob Blake, playing for the first time on the Kings' ice since he was traded two months ago, opened the scoring with a 65-foot slap shot that somehow rolled past goalie Felix Potvin just $3:43" into the contest.
"It was good to get that out of the way," Blake, booed every time he touched the puck, said of his first time back. "I think management did a good job of making the bad guy out of me. They painted the picture they wanted to, and these people reacted."
Having won for the first time in five tries at the 2-year-old Staples Center, the Avalanche will hope to make it two in a row so they can take a commanding lead back to Denver.
“It’s another very important game,” Hartley said. “So far, there have been no easy games. Every game has been real tight, real tough and we’re not expecting anything different. Those guys will be ready, same as us.”
After allowing Blake's early goal, Potvin
"Ifelt like we regrouped as a team when Joe went down. Joe Sakic is a big part of the team, but we have many great hockey players who also can step up."
Bob Hartley
Colorado Avalanche coach
gave up two more in the third period on just three Alanche shots.
That, he said, was disappointing.
"We outshot them 14-3 in the third period and they scored two goals," Potvin said, shaking his head.
He seemed to have Blake's long shot stopped, but the puck trickled between his pads and over the line.
"Ninety-nine times out of 100, he stops that," Murray said. "It was unfortunate, but I'm sure Felix will be even more determined in the next game."
Potvin said of Blake's goal: "Obviously it shouldn't have gone in, but those things happen. Even though I made a lot of saves, you remember the ones you didn't stop."
The goalie believes the Kings are still confident despite trailing the heavily favored Avalanche in the series.
"That's the way we've been the last two months, battling for the playoffs then in the first series," he said. "We've done it before, we can do it again."

MONTREAL — Dave Hilton Jr., convicted in March of sexually assaulting two young sisters, was stripped of his WBC super middleweight title on yesterday.
BOXING
Boxer's title revoked after sex conviction
World Boxing council general secretary Mario Latravee said in a statement that the decision to take away the title was "motivated by the nonavailability for Mr. Hilton to defend his championship" and by a WBC rule barring boxers convicted of crimes from being rated by the fight-sanctioning body.
Hilton, 37, who won the title on Dec. 15 from South African Dingaan Thobela, is to appear in court for sen
tencing on Wednesday, May 9.
Paul Skolnik, Hilton's lawyer, has appealed the conviction, saying Judge Rolande Matte made several mistakes during the boxer's trial, which ended with the conviction March 16.
Hilton, who faces up to 14 years in prison, was charged with nine sex-related counts after his arrest. The abuse began when the girls were each 12 and lasted from 1995 to 1998.
The WBC ruled that Eric Lucas of Montreal and Glenn Catley of Britain, ranked first and second, respectively, would fight for the vacant title.
MIAMI — Right-handed Chuck Smith and A.J. Burnett, who have been sidelined with injuries since spring training, will rejoin the Florida Martins' rotation this weekend.
Marlins' lineup gains two sidelined pitchers
MLB
Smith will start Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers, and Burnett will start Sunday, manager John Boles said.
Vladimir Nunez will move to the bulpen to open one spot in the rotation. Rookie Jason Grilli, who was scheduled to start yesterday against the St. Louis Cardinals, will likely be sent to Triple-A Calgary. No roster move is planned until Saturday.
Smith, who has been on a rehabilitation assignment in Calgary, sprained his right shoulder March 24. Last year, as a 30-year-old rookie, he went 6-6 with a 3.23 ERA.
Burnett, whose rehabilitation stint was with Single-A Brevard County, was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right foot in late February. Burnett, 24, went 3-7 last year with a 4.79 ERA. He is touted as a potential
star but has been on the disabled list four times since 1997.
NFL
Broncos sign fullback to three-year contract
DENVER — Fullback Howard Griffith, a key to Denver's rushing attack for four seasons, agreed to a three-year, $4.3 million contract with the Broncos.
He is to receive a $300,000 signi-
gning bonus with incentives worth
$600,000 during three years.
Davis ran for 2,008 yards in 1998 and averaged six yards per carry during the playoffs as the Broncos won their second straight Super Bowl.
Griffith is considered one of Denver's most valuable assets. He is the lead blocker for running backs Terrell Davis, Olandis Gary and Mike Anderson.
After Davis tore knee ligaments four games into the 1999 season. Gary ran for a rookie record 1,159 yards. Anderson broke that record with 1,487 yards last year while Davis and were sidelined by injuries.
Nuggets coach gets another year to rebuild
NBA
DENVER — Dan issel will get at least another year to rebuild the Denver Nuggets.
After meeting with team owner Stan Kroenke, Issel was allowed to keep his dual position as Denver's coach and president of basketball operations.
After going 35-47 in 1999-2000, the Nuggets went 40-42 in itsel's second season. It was the first time since 1994-95 that Denver won 40
games, but the Nuggets finished 1.1th in the Western Conference and failed to make the playoffs for the sixth straight year.
Israel has two years left on his contract and implied that the Nuggets might hire a general manager to help relieve him of some responsibilities. Vice president of basketball operations Denny McGowan resigned last week.
"We will hire at least one more basketball person," Issel said.
At least three of Denver's four assistant coaches also will return. The fourth, John Lucas, has been given permission to interview for the head coaching job with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Flames' interim coach promoted to coach
CALGARY, Alberta — Greg Gilbert,
the Calgary Flames' intimcoach,
was promoted to head coach yesterday.
He signed for two years plus an option year. Gilbert became interim coach after Don Hay was fired in March.
NHL
Gilbert, the assistant coach under Hay, had said he would only consider the head job if it did not detract from his family situation.
Gilbert, who signed a three-year deal with the Flames as an assistant last fall, was a former AHL Coach of the Year and won a Stanley Cup as a player with the New York Islanders.
In his brief tenure as Flames head coach, he conducted tough practices and benched disgruntled forward Valeri Bure. In 14 games as coach, Gilbert had a record of 4-2, but he appeared to make a favorable impression with team officials.
The Associated Press
Earnhardt Jr. says dad's belt was broken during accident
The Associated Press
CONCORD, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. believes the seat belt in his father's car was broken during his fatal accident, brushing aside claims by a rescue worker that the belt was intact when emergency crews arrived at the car.
"I believe that the belt broke, and I will always believe that," Earnhardt Jr. said yesterday. "I'm not discarding anyone's statement as fiction, but there always are going to be two sides. I believe the belt broke."
Tommy Propst, an Orange County firefighter and emergency medical technician who was one of the first on the scene, told the Orlando Sentinel last weekend that the belt was in one piece when he got to the car, and he struggled to pull open the buckle before finally releasing it.
Dale Earnhardt was killed in an accident on the final turn of the Daytona 500. Five days after the Feb. 18 crash, NASCAR officials said they discovered a broken seat belt in Earnhardt's crumpled car. After interviewing rescuers on the scene, NASCAR determined it had not been cut.
Earnhardt Jr. supports NASCAR as it continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding Earnhardt's death.
Propt also said no one from NASCAR had interviewed him.
NASCAR is conducting an independent review into the accident, and one of the focuses is on the broken seat belt. NASCAR president Mike Helton has declined to discuss the investigation, saying he would address it when the review is completed in August.
"I have total confidence in NASCAR and Mike Helton," Earnhardt Jr. said. "I know in my heart what happened, and I feel comfortable with that. I'm not waiting for an answer — I know what the answer is, and I'm fine with it. I sleep good at night."
Earnhardt Jr. refused to discuss what he thinks happened. He did say his conclusions have not come from NASCAR because he has not been kept informed on the progress of the investigation.
Earnhardt was in third place, one spot behind his son, leading a second pack of cars when his Chevrolet slid down the track and made contact with Sterling Marlin's car. The hit sent Earnhardt's car shooting up the banking and into the wall at 190 mph.
An independent medical examiner who studied the autopsy photos said Earnhardt likely died when his head whipped violently forward during the collision.
That theory contradicted that of the speedway physician, who said he thought Earnhardt was killed when his chin hit the steering wheel — which would not have happened had the seat belt not been broken.
Meanwhile, Earnhardt Jr. has started to come to terms with his father's death, and his recent success on the track has helped. After finishing second at Daytona, Earnhardt Jr. struggled until the past four weeks.
He's finished 11th or higher in the last four races, and his third-place finish last weekend lifted him to 10th place in the standings.
"I get sad less often when I think about him," he said. "I think about more pleasant memories when I think about him then when I did a few weeks ago."
One of those memories is of his father joining him in Victory Lane after Earnhardt Jr. won The Winston last May. He said he'll forever view that as the greatest moment of his career.
My father coming to Victory Lane and not having an airplane to rush and get on, so he stuck around and we threw beer on each other and jumped around and hollered and just made fools of ourselves," he said. "I don't think I'll ever get that close to that feeling I had that night again."

Columnist's predictions for summer announced
There are three certainties for summertime in Lawrence — the students are gone, the temperatures are hot and Kansan sports columns aren't available on a daily basis.
While your favorite paper on the hill still will come out once a week during the summer, there sadly won't be near as many columns to read during the next few months.
I'm guessing most of you will get by without your daily dose of sports commentaries, but for those of you who want something to keep your eyes on this summer, I've got a list of predictions that should do the trick.
So, until we meet again, here are 10 things to look for this summer from around the wide world of sports:
1) Tiger Woods' streak of four consecutive wins at a major will get snapped during the summer months.
I think his quest for the real grand slam of golf will come to a close on June 17 at the US Open. If Tiger does manage to win in Tulsa, Okla., then his incredible run of major titles will definitely fall at either the British Open or PGA Championship.
2) The NFL's greatest wide receiver of all time will be cut on June 1.
This should come as no surprise to most football fans, as Jerry Rice already has said farewell to his beloved 48er fans in the Bay City.
Look for "The San Francisco Treat" to catch on with the Seahawks, Lions or maybe even a move to nearby Oakland to play for the Raiders.
3) The Colorado Avalanche will win its second Stanley Cup title in six years, giving hockey legend Ray Bourque his first chance to kiss Lord Stanley's trophy.
The Avs will beat the defending champion New Jersey Devils in the NHL Finals.
4) In the NBA playoff race, the Philadelphia 76ers will take home the hardware by knocking off the San Antonio Spurs in a classic NBA Finals series.
Sixers coach Larry Brown and his often-disgruntled star Allen Iverson will share a long, sweet embrace after the big win.
5) The Minnesota Twins' bats will get as cold as Lake Minnitonka in the winter time, and the Twinkies will drop to third in the A.L. Central standings by the All-Star break.
The Cleveland Indians will take the top spot, and a resurgent Kansas City Royals club will climb into second place. I know that's a bold prediction, but hey, "You gotta love these guys!"
6) The NBA draft will feature two former Jayhawk players when commissioner David Stern gets behind the mike on June 27.
Eric Chenowith will be a late firstround pick, and Kenny Gregory will hear his name called in round two.
7) "Ichiro-mania" will continue to sweep the nation, and the Mariners rookie will be as big as godzilla back home in Japan.
Suzuki will slow down a bit in terms of production but will still be well on his way to Rookie of the Year honors.
Nanui is a Topenka junior in broadcast management
6) The Jayhawks will have a new athletics director come July 1, and he'll have a busy year ahead that could include several firings, retirings and hirings among the many Kansas coaches.
9) Toronto first baseman Carlos Delgado will have more home runs at the end of May than Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Ken Griffey Jr. combined.
The Blue Jays' slugger doesn't hit 'em out every night, but he does already have two three-homer games on the season.
10) And finally, I predict that at least half of my summer predictions will come true.
I am afraid. I don't understand what you're talking about. Are you sure? No, I'm not sure.

Thrower hopes to qualify
Junior has two meets left to make NCAA tourney
By Michael Suddhalter sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Junior javelin thrower Andrea Bulat is the latest Canadian Jayhawk excelling for Kansas this year.
Just this past weekend at the Drake Relays, Bulat placed third in the javelin with a throw of 148.5. Bulat's success with the 'Hawks has been similar to that of another Canadian — Scott Russell.
Bulat went to the same high school in Windson, Ontario, as senior redshirt Russell. Bulat originally decided to attend Kansas because of the coaching staff and the success that Russell had enjoyed during his first season on Mount Oread. She chose Kansas over
Arkansas, Iowa and Wichita State.
"The new coaching staff is good, enthusiastic and fun but they still keep us disciplined," Bulat said.
Bulat competed at the NCAA Championships during her freshman and sophomore seasons in Boise, Idaho, and Durham, N.C. respectively. When the coaching staff changed this year, Bulat said she was able to adapt and improve under the new coaching styles.
The junior thrower also said throwing coach Doug Revnolds had helped her throwing.
Reynolds said Bulat had been one of the Jayhawks mainstays this season.
"I am a lot more powerful and explosive because of Coach Reynolds," Bulat said. "The weightifting is more demanding, and I am still working on my throwing technique."
"She is a leader by example and a consistent performer," Reynolds said. "This year, we haven't been in good conditions for women's lavelin."
Junior shot putter Jennifer Foster said Bulat was one of the most determined members of the track and field team.
"She is a very hard worker who has earned
where she is right now," Foster said. "She is passionate about her sport and is an awesome competitor in the meets."
But, who is ranked 13th in the women's jyolin NCAA standings, said she would have to throw farther in the Husker Invitational this weekend or the Big 12 Championships to qualify for this season's NCAA Outdoor Championships. She placed third at last year's Big 12 meet.
"I'll probably have to throw 49 meters to qualify," Bulat said. "I want to be an all-American this year."
A pre-physical therapy major, Bulat plans on attending physical therapy school on the west coast where she has several family members. She has considered competing at the next level of track and field. When she is not competing, Bulat engages in many hobbies, including the outdoors, camping, rock climbing, mountain biking and most recently, photography.
Bulat and the rest of the Kansas team will travel to Lincoln, Neb. on Friday for the 'Husker Invitational.'

'Hawks shut out Ichabods
Jayhawk 3

Bobby Randall had nothing but good things to say about Eric Thompson's first career start at Kansas.
The Edgerton senior pitched six scoreless innings and gave up five hits and no runs as Kansas beat Washburn 9-10 last night at Hodgkin Ballpark.
But don't look for Thompson to make anymore starts as a Jayhawk. None of Kansas' regular starters were available to pitch, so Randall sent Thompson to the mound, the coach said.
"He didn't get to pitch this weekend, and normally we're using him two, three times over the weekends, and he needed the work," Randall said. "I don't think he'll be a starter because I like him so much in the bullpen because he's so resilient and he comes back so quickly."

Thompson, who entered the game with a 6.03 ERA, recorded a career-high five strikeouts in the game. He said that was unusual
But Thompson got big strikeouts when he needed them. Twice he struck out a batter and recorded the third out of an inning with runners in scoring position.
"I'm not a strikeout pitcher," he said. "I just let them hit it, put the ball in play and let the defense work behind me."
"Eric was ahead of the count, ahead of the count, ahead of the count, and when he needed a strikeout with men on base, he got it." Randall said.
Randall also was quick to praise reliever Grant Williams, who notched his first career save. The Fort Collins, Colo., junior, entered the game with a 3.38 ERA, allowed two hits and struck out three in three innings of work.
But great pitching can't win games alone, and the Jayhawks (20-9) overall and 5-22 in the Big 12 Conference) got enough offense to beat the Division II ichabodes (20-8).
Designated hitter Ryan Klocksien led Kansas with three hits, two RBI and one run scored.
"I was seeing the ball pretty well. I came out early and got some extra cuts," said Klockslen, who has a team-high .324 batting average.
The Jayhawks jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the second inning. Kevin Wheeler walked,
Shaken from the hit to the leg, Washburn's pitcher, Matt Wilkens, walked Matt Trible and Wheeler scored, and the Jayhawks had a 1-0 lead. Dan Stucky hit into a fielder's choice and Del Chiaro scored before John Nelson ended the inning.
Brent Del Chiaro lined a single to left field and Casey Spain loaded the bases after he rocketed the ball back at the Ichabod pitcher — and it ricocheted off his leg.
The shutout was Kansas' first since March 14, when it beat Illinois-Chicago 3-0.

Coach says women's golf has improved despite finish
By John Domoney sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
based on the Kansas women's golf team's second-straight last-place finish at the Big 12 Championship, it's easy to say the program is struggling to become a contender in the talent-rich Big 12.
But for second-year coach Nicole Hollingsworth, the conference championship cannot be used to judge a team that she thinks made tremendous strides toward becoming the type of program she envisions at Kansas.
"One tournament can't be the indicator of how our season went," said Hollingsworth. "We showed a lot of
improvement over last year, and a lot of people stepped up their play."
After a fall schedule that began with the Jayhawks finishing in 14th place
KU
records
at the Baytree Intercollegiate on September 8-10 and in 12th place at the Big 12 Preview on October 2-3, Kansas was eager to improve and gear up for the second half of their season.
Although the spring success didn't culminate in a high finish at the Big 12 Championship, the Jayhawks look back at their season as being one of improvement
The spring schedule was highlighted by a fourth-place finish at the Islander Spring Invitational on February 19-20 in Corpus Christi, Texas, and a Spring Break trip to Myrtle Beach, where Kansas defeated the College of Charleston in a head-to-head match.
Still, Kansas must find a way to become a major factor in the Big 12, and Hollingsworth said that her group of Jayhawks were going to find the
"Ifelt like overall our season was really good," said senior Ashely Bishop. "The team improved, and our scores were pretty good."
"The top teams know how to play at this level, and they understand you can't shoot in the 80s," Hollingsworth said.
Bishop satisfied with team's improvement
secret to success in the conference.
At the end of the season, the Jayhawks will lose two seniors, Ashely Bishop and Sarah Mahoney, who have been very valuable to Kansas and Hollingsworth.
Bishop leaves the program after a four-year career that saw her being named co-captain her senior year and gaining a spot on the Big 12 Commissioners Honor Roll in all of her semesters at Kansas.
The other co-captain, Sarah Mahoney, played for Kansas during her junior and senior year after she transferred from the University of San Francisco. Mahoney's season was highlighted by a hole-in-one at this year's Iowa Invitational on April 14-15.
As both players leave the program, they're confident that Kansas has a bright future.
"They're moving in the right direction," Bishop said. "Things seem to be a little more stable, and there's a good future for the players."
Much of that future will depend on this year's sophomore class, consisting of Jennifer Cassell, Tiffany Krugel, Heather Rose, and Kristin Schultz, who all will form the nucleus of the team next year.
Along with the loaded sophomore class, the Jayhawks also will return freshmen Jennifer Bawanan and Chrystal Thayer, who both showed promise this year.
All of this has Hollingsworth excited for next year's edition of the Javhawks.
"All of these players have improved their games drastically, and with steady improvement should have a good future," Hollingsworth said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 2). With your own true love, the words come easy. Together you can overcome, persevere and triumph. Look forward to your victory in May. Find more ways to save in June. Ace your classes in July. Talk about the future in September. Recommit in November. Add to your stash in December. To make romance flourish, heed loved ones' advice in February and April.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Plans for tonight are postponed due to new chores on your list. In one way you're better off.
In another way, worse. Delaying gratification is no fun now, but it'll be much better then. Don't schedule a date for tomorrow night, either. Put in extra work instead.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
Can you think of a way to leave worries behind and lock most of the world outside? You and your sweetheart have important things to discuss. You'll need plenty of time, especially if finances are on the agenda. Find the time.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6. You usually speak for the group because you know just what to say. This time, you may be stuck. Relax. Your subconscious mind needs a little more time, that's all. Be patient. The ideas are forming.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Every time you turn around there's something new to learn. Some new detail needs your attention — something to add to your lists. If you weren't organized before, you soon will be. It's required.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5. It's still hard to keep your mind on work, but that's exactly what you should be doing. Your sweetheart may not understand now, but the extra money in your pockets will be fun to play with later — on Friday night and Saturday, to be specific.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Stuck in a ruet? Not getting paid what you're worth? Ready to make a few changes? The answer is nearby, but hidden. It's behind something you think you can't do without. Toss that, and voil! This should occur naturally by Friday.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6.
Postpone travel for another day or two. Friday and Saturday will be much better. Your plans may change two or three times between now and then, anyway. No problem. You're still making up your mind, that's all.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Friends come up with a lot of good suggestions,
but don't just do what they say. They can't under
stand all the possible consequences. If you suspect there are a few things that need further investigation, get busy.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
Somebody is putting a lid on your creativity.
Don't despair. It's all for the best. You're imaginative, intelligent and may even have psychic powers. You have a tendency to overlook little details, though. Like gravity, for example. Go through your checklists one more time.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You'd love to ditch your responsibilities and get out of town to run, play and let the wind mess up your hair. The odds are against that happening,
but if you get the chance, scoot! Get back before your keepers notice you're missing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 4.

If that is you, you aren't alone. More and more college students move home to live with parents following graduation because they haven't found jobs yet, can't afford their own apartments, or just need time to think and plan for the future. The transition from college to the
The transition from college to the real world of 40-hour weeks with no
summer vacations is the "big kahuna" of transitions. It's bigger than starting kindergarten, entering junior high or finishing high school, and that creates stress.
For Stacey Love, Overland Park senior, moving home to live with her parents is not that appealing. Because Love is a secondary education major, she has an additional year of student teaching and graduate classes, which make it impossible for her to work. Even though she has a good relationship with her parents, she said she wasn't used to having a mom and dad watch her every move.
Columnist Nancy Dunnan calls returning home to live with parents "boomeranging." She said it could be a great time because it gave students and their parents a chance to get reacquainted and develop adult relationships, but it must be handled thoughtfully to avoid straining family relationships and hindering students' personal growth.
house; and telling parents they want to act not as their child, but as an adult. That involves cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry, walking the dog and grocery shopping. If students act like adults, parents will treat them as adults.
Tips from Dunnan include: students communicating with parents regarding their plans and expectations; letting parents know their plans to pitch in and help around the
The question of paying rent is something each family will need to agree upon. Some parents love to help out their children at this stressful time and wouldn't think of charging rent, and others struggle with a house that is too small, money problems or not-so-pleasant memories of when their child lived at home. Dunnan said it was better for students to have some idea of how long they would stay before they moved back in.
Staci Nicks, Lenexa senior, isn't worried about it.
"It just makes sense," she said.
"It just makes sense," she said. Nicks is a broadcast management and advertising graduate who has accepted a job in Kansas City, Mo., so it's a short drive from her parents' home in Lenexa to work.
She knows the move back home will be temporary until she saves some money and figures out a roommate situation.
The three boomeranging rules of moving back home:
BOOMERANGING RULES
Don't expect to be indulged and don't encourage it.
Don't expect financial handouts or a free ride and don't encourage it.
Don't expect to stay forever, set a departure date before moving back.

As for paying rent, she said it was something her parents wouldn't even consider.
"My brother moved home for about six months after he graduated, so it just seems normal that I would do that," Nicks said.
Even though she has lived on her own, Nicks said she wasn't concerned about living with her parents again.
No matter the reason for moving back home after graduation, try to enjoy the hiatus, think positively, and remember this might be the last time in your life you will get to live with your parents.

Angela Agustin couldn't see herself living by the tune of a piano for the rest of her life.
The Wichita senior came to the University with the idea of being a professional pianist, but a year into it realized she didn't want to turn her hobby into her career.
"When I first came here I was a piano performance major and so I had taken 32 hours that didn't count," Agustin said. "I changed my major three times and now I'm double majoring now, which kind of delayed the process."
That delay added a year to Agustin's University experience.
Come commencement, Agustin will be cheering on her classmates from the bleachers.
"I'm stretching it out to five," Agustin said. "I'm actually kind of looking forward to it because I'll have a light load of classes and that'll help me get all my bearings before I head out into the real world."
Sarah Miller, Wichita senior, said she too was looking forward to her extra time as a student. Miller, who changed her major from business to journalism her junior year, said she was glad to have an extra semester to focus on developing career skills.
"I think it'll give me a chance to concentrate on my core classes," Miller said. "I can really focus on what I want to do and take the time
to really learn it."
Miller said that when she presented the idea of extra schooling to her parents that they didn't bat an eye at the financial aspect of staying longer than planned.
"It wasn't even an issue, they were behind me 100 percent," Miller said. "They said they wanted me to be happy and if that took an extra semester, it would be worth it."
Agustin said her parents were at first a little upset at the idea of paying for an extra-long University stay, but later they warmed up to the idea.
to figure out what I wanted to do. It took them awhile to come around, but I think now they realize that I really know what I want to do."
And even though Agustin said she was glad to spend the extra time and money to better her education, she wasn't so happy her semester could be a little lonely.
"A lot of my friends are graduating now, but I still have some friends that will be sticking through the senior year already." Agustin said. "It's kind of scary that we're growing up and that they will be going off and doing things with their careers while I'm stuck here in Lawrence. But I think it'll be fun visiting them and them visiting me."

Commencement offers traditions for new graduates
Graduation includes special moments unique to Kansas
By Jennifer Hall Kansan correspondent
The commencement procession is a signature rite of passage at the University of Kansas.
Graduates assemble on Memorial Drive with their classmates by school. They don their gowns — closed for bachelor's candidates, open or closed for graduate students. They adjust their caps, placing the tassel on the left, where it will remain until after the ceremony.
in the way of traditions, some students even decorate their caps and gowns and bring props on graduation day," said Jennifer Mueller, director of student programs for the Alumni Association. "This is what is unique about KU. It brings personality and flavor. People from Lawrence will come just to watch."
Lined up in no particular order among their classmates, candidates for graduation then begin their walk Mount Oread.
"Walking down the hill is the KU tradition. Alumni always recognize this." Mueller said. "It's the biggest part of graduation and is absolutely synonymous with KU."
graduation."
For many students, the most special part of their graduation march is the walk through the Campanile.
"I'm excited to walk through the Campanile," said Kelly Felts, Liberty senior. "That's why I don't want to graduate in December. Walking the hill will complete my
Mueller said there was a superstition if students walked all the way through the Campanile before they graduated, they never actually would graduate.
"It is also rumored that if you walk through with your significant other, you two are bound to be married," she said.
Although walking down the hill may be a goal for many, some students see the tradition as just another task before getting their diploma.
"In all honesty, I'm not excited for all the hype, said Monica Munoz, Wichita senior. "It's for my parents. They are much more excited than me. After all, they are paying for it. I am just excited to get out of here. I don't need a big ceremony."
Another graduation tradition is the Chancellor's Commencement
Lunch, held at the chancellor's home. Graduates can invite special guests and enjoy a casual lunch on the lawn.
"Other schools don't have what we have — traditions," Mueller said. "Walking down the hill is so important. Students don't want to graduate in Allen Fieldhouse."
Students care about the University, respect its traditions, and want to keep them strong, Felts said.
"Graduation at KU reflects how we have developed in spirit as a university." Felts said. "It represents who we were, who we are, and who we hope to be."

Disease doesn't keep student from graduating
By Paul Smith
Jeff Leone didn't know who saved his life.
Just before his transplant operation, doctors said the kidney had come from a 23-year-old man who died in an accident. That's all they would say.
Special to the Kansan
Seven hours later, the anesthetic faded sufficiently for Leone to look up as he was wheeled from surgery and
— despite the pain — give a thumbs up to his family and friends gathered in the hallway.
After rapid deterioration of his kidney function, the Olathe graduate student in education endured four years of medical hardships, near-death experiences and frustration to pull through with his family intact and a diploma awaiting him.
A grim forecast
A water skiing incident in 1985, seemingly innocuous at the time, left
the 23-year-old Leone with a bruised kidney. But blood in his urine persisted for months instead of days, prompting tests and the diagnosis that Leone suffered from Berger's disease, a degenerative kidney disease.
"At that time they said it would be 20 to 25 years before I would reach end-stage renal failure and need a transplant or dialysis," Lee said. "But that prediction was slightly off. It only took 11 years before I was in renal failure."
The doctors were not optimistic about Leone's condition, saying that only 10 percent of those with the disease avoid end-stage renal failure.
"They just woofly underestimated the time it would take to reach that point," Leone said.
Despite the grim forecast, Leone maintained his active lifestyle and took uncycling.
While training for his second 150 mile ride in 1996, Leone knew some
thing was wrong. In August, a few weeks before the ride, he should have been in peak physical condition. Yet he found himself winded and struggling up hills.
Leone ignored his training experiences and participated in the ride, a fund-raiser for multiple sclerosis research. He experienced no problems during the first day—a 100-mile stretch. Halfway through the second day, he "hit the wall," and his body gave out.
Leone stopped at the first of a series of three rest stops. He took at least a half-hour to recover at each stop after riding the eight miles in between, much longer than usual. He thought seriously of asking a Support and Gear vehicle to carry him the remaining 25 miles.
Leone managed to finish the ride on his own. Six weeks later, he was hospitalized for 10 days.
One hardship after another
The doctors offered no clear reason

POWERED
IN A HERO'S
KIDDY
for the alarming deterioration of Leone's kidney function. Dehydration from cycling and high blood pressure were cited as possible factors.
With less than 15 percent kidney function the point at which the toxins begin to affect the body - Leone started on dialysis, the procedure of removing toxins and fluids from the body by filtering bodily fluids through a machine since the body produces little urine.
Jeff Leone, Olathe graduate student, has competed in several amateur bicycling races since his transplant. Contributed photo
His first dialysis was an emergency procedure performed by Rick Muther, a Kansas City, Mo., physician. It was facilitated by a temporary catheter inserted underneath the collar bone into an artery above the heart. A more permanent catheter was implanted in his abdomen to allow Leone to dialyze with a machine at home, a process called peritoneal dialysis.
The peritoneal dialysis frustrated Leone. The machine, designed to inject and drain toxin-leaching fluids while the patient sleeps, would sound an alarm if Leone pinched off a tube during the night. Sometimes the machine would cause cramps.
"It [the machine] thinks it has more to drain and it doesn't, and so it starts really cramping your inside," Leone said. "That was not a fun period in my life, and that happened to be my first semester at KU."
At the same time, the peritoneal dialysis was not sufficiently cleaning Leone's system, causing nausea and vomiting. Two weeks after his first GI tract bleed, Leone again expelled blood.
The next semester, in April of 1997,
Leone was hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding. Doctors could not pinpoint the cause.
Earlier disqualifications of relatives for kidney donations were not so disappointing to Leone after doctors removed his cancer.
An ambulance rushed Leone to the hospital; he had lost a lot of blood. However, Leone insisted on being taken to Muther at Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo., instead of a closer hospital.
"It was out of my hands in that ambulance," Leone said. He lay on his back on a stretcher, as paramedics monitored his vital signs and hooked him to an IV. He was unsure whether he would live through the night.
"That was probably the weirdest feeling in my life. ... But I wasn't scared, it was like resignation almost," he said.
During the surgery, the doctors discovered the cause of the GI tract bleeding: cancer in his small intestine.
"I went under anesthesia thinking I was just getting this catheter removed and another one placed," Leone said, "and I came out with a small bowel resection — one foot of my small intestine removed and sown back together."
Up to that moment, Leone had hoped to receive a transplant soon. He didn't know if he could cope with hemodialysis even for two years, at four hours per treatment three times each week.
Fearing a recurrence of the cancer coupled with the number of blood transfusions Leone received — eight units alone in the second hospitalization — the doctors said he could not be considered for a transplant for two to five years.
Dark days
If this brother had qualified for a kidney transplant scheduled in January of 1997, the drugs prescribed to suppress the immune system — so the body accepts the organ — would have facilitated the spreading of the then undetected cancer.
"Then I stopped questioning what I call universal order." Lee said. "I was like 'OK, I apologize. There was a reason my brother struck out."
At the same time, Leone experienced a brief depression. He feared the cancer would recur and that he might prove permanently ineligible for a transplant, thus requiring dialysis for the rest of his life.
The atmosphere in the hemodialysis clinic was not uplifting. Leone felt out of his element there, an active cyclist pinned to a machine, surrounded by elderly patients ineligible for transplants.
"My cancer—I was pretty lucky: no chemotherapy, no radiation treatments," he said. "It was completely removed surgically. Within a month of starting long-term hemodialysis, I really started counting my blessings."
The phone call
When the phone rang at midnight on Dec. 18, 1999. Leone knew this was the call he had anticipated every day of his two years and seven months on medialysis. He was wide awake instantly, initially in shock and then grasping for the phone.
The transplant coordinator on the line told Leone
PARKER
that a transplant operation could be scheduled for that afternoon, provided the kidney passed one more test. The coordinator said to get some sleep, that she would call back in six hours.
Leone and his wife Robyn couldn't sleep; they were so happy they cried. They tried not to wake their 4-year-old daughter, Jordan, keeping the volume on the TV low as they killed time watching tapes of Fraiser and ER.
Leone was in good spirits after waking up from his transplant operation. Contributed photo
"We just kept looking at each other, grinning ear to ear," Leen said. They knew that the next day, he would have a kidney.
Twelve hours later, Leone was wheeled out of surgery and the operation was deemed a success. However, that initial judgment may have come too soon.
After two days, Leone's body began rejecting the new kidney and doctors increased the dosage of immuno-suppression drugs. The risk of rejection slowly died down, and Leone was
released from the hospital 12 days after surgery.
"When I got out of the hospital Dec. 30 and I had a few weeks before school started again, I thought 'Man, I'm going to get through this without missing a beat,'" Leone said. "I was really stoked."
However, persistent fluid accumulation and a mysterious sternum inflammation knocked Leone out of school for the first time during his graduate work in the Spring 2000 semester, garnering him two incompletes at the Edwards Campus.
The kidney gets a name
This final semester, Leone has been healthy enough to take on 12 credit hours, while finishing those incompletes—for a total of 18 hours.
Law prohibits contact between the donor family and recipient for at least one year. All contact must also be initiated by the donor family. Leone assumed a letter would constitute prohibited contact, and he was stunned when the organ bank forwarded him a letter from the donor's mother on May 4, 2000 - five months
after the transplant.
"My wife and I opened it and just bawled immediately," Leone said. "All of a sudden my kidney had a name."
Lena, the donor's mother, described her son as someone who liked to help people, and that she knew Christopher had wanted to donate — which is why the family allow
doctors to take the organs for transplant.
"Here I am thriving instead of just surviving because of heroes like that who make those kinds of decisions in probably the toughest moment of their life," Leone said.
After the second round of letters with the mother, Leone received notification last week that Lena filed papers to allow direct, personal contact between them.
"I want this to be on her terms," Leone said, realizing the need to need him his enthusiasm for meeting Lena "I would love to have her at my graduation, to honor her and Christopher."
"Words can't really express my gratitude for what she's done for me and my family. In person, words may not be needed to express that. She may not know how much she has saved my life."

The University Daily Kansan: GRADUATION ISSUE

Graduates eagerly await walk down Mount Oread
Bv Rachel Moluf
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
The chance to walk down the hill might be too much to pass up for KU alumna Loona Denning.
Denning's graduating class of 1970 was one of only six classes forced indoors for the ceremony since 1924, the first year that graduates walked down the hill.
"It was raining, and we all had to graduate in Allen Fieldhouse, which was packed to the rafters and extremely hot," she said. "It didn't have the feel of graduation, as it would have if we'd walked down the bill."
Denning said that the year before she had seen the ceremony for the first time.
"It was so incredible, I couldn't wait till I got my turn," she said. "Looking forward to it that much and not having it happen was a huge disappointment."
Denning said that she would be retiring from teaching in two years and was thinking of returning to KU for her master's degree and another opportunity to walk down the hill.
"I still may get my chance," she said. "But if I don't, I'll at least get the pleasure of seeing my daughter walk down the hill."
Clint Kabler, Valley Center senior, said his mother would be proud to see him graduate, too.
"I'm a fourth generation KU alumnus." Kabler said. "My mom, grandfather and great-grandfather all graduated from KU."
Kabler said they would be rooting for him.
"It's cool to help friends and family cheer for you as you walk down the sidewalk," he said. "I really don't care what's said at the stadium. I just want to throw my hat in the air and cheer."
"It's a beautiful thing to walk down the hill and into Memorial Stadium where your friends and family are waiting."

Kabler said he would not be deterred by the weather.
"Despite the heat and having all the family in town, it will be worth it," Kabler said. "If it gets too hot, I'll just wear a Speedo under my gown."
15.
Neal Weitzel, Chicago senior, said he would be wearing a lot less than that.
"I'll be extremely nude under that gown." Weitzel said. "It's the only way to go."
Weitzel said he also wanted to want a "hi, HM" sign on his cap.
"It's a festive day, and I'm a festive guy," he said.
Naomi Carson, St. Louis, Mo., senior, said the ceremony would be a final celebration of the four years she spent at KU.
"It's a big deal to graduate," she said. "I probably won't be crying, because I probably won't miss being an undergraduate. But the walk will give me a sense of closure."
Mindy Dye, Independence junior, said she was anticipating graduating next year.
"Walking down the hill is kind of a reward to show that you've made it." Dye said. "I think it's a neat thing to look forward to."
Many students say walking down the hill and into Memorial Stadium is one of the most special parts of graduating from the University of Kansas. Photo courtesy of University Relations
KU alumnus Dick Wintermote,
who graduated in 1951, was a member of the first class to walk through the Campanile as part of the graduation ceremony.
"I've known of classes that would walk down the hill the day before graduation when they heard that the weather would be bad, just to able to say they'd walked down it," he said. "Those who have not had the privilege because of weather were very disappointed."
Wintermote said that walking down the hill was something every KU student should look forward to.
"It's a beautiful thing to walk down the hill and into Memorial Stadium where your friends and family are waiting," he said. "It's a wonderful tradition."

Volunteer efforts offer nontraditional work
By Emily Callaghan Special to the Kansan
Graduation brings exciting opportunities and important decisions. There are graduate school applications, portfolios, interviews and student loans to deal with. Long-term volunteer programs offer a nontraditional way to spend your time after you get your diploma.
The Peace Corps and Americorps have programs that can help alleviate the stress of paying back student loans or finding that first "real job" immediately after school ends.
Furthermore, they can offer an
incredible journey nationally or internationally to a volunteer site where you can become involved with communities of people that are in need.
Volunteers can apply for deferment of many student loans during the time of service, and in certain cases, some loans can be partially forgiven.
Upon completion of Teach for America, an Americorps program, you are awarded $9,450, which you can apply to pay back student loans or toward future education costs. The Peace Corps offers $6,075 at the end of the full term of service.
The Peace Corps has internation-

al volunteer programs and secondary education programs that serve at 27-month intervals in 76 countries worldwide. Nancy Stroupe, Olathe graduate, is applying for the Peace Corps Masters International Program.
"When you complete the three years, you have a master's degree and two years of work experience —
that's a rare opportunity," she said. Stroupe is seeking a master's in public health, where one year is concentrated classroom time and the last two are field practicum. This combines learning and hands-on experience.
that's a rare opportunity," she said.
Teach for America places recent college graduates in under-resourced schools at one of 15 sites in the United States as regular teachers. Each year more than 1,500 corps members reach more than 100,000 students. Kate Williams, Wichita junior, is considering becoming involved after graduation.

positive effect on teenagers," she said. "I think the best way to prepare is to teach and not to lose touch with kids."
Her interest led her to participate in an Alternative Winter Break to Phoenix, Ariz., a Teach for America site.
"The children changed my life, and continue to inspire me," she said.
Jen Self, who graduated from Western Michigan University with a journalism degree, volunteered for Americorps. She worked for La Puente Home, a homeless shelter in Alamosa, Colo., and is now its volunteer coordinator.
"Americorps changed my focus from wanting to enter into the corporate world to realizing that I always want to work in the nonprofit sector," she said. "I think service after graduation is important for everyone, taking the time to give back has helped me know myself better and what I want to do."
Families find local hotels booked for graduation weekend
Hashinger Hall will offer free lodging to graduating seniors
By Louise Stauffer
Kansan correspondent
An unpleasant surprise may be in store for families still hoping to find a place to stay in Lawrence for commencement. According to hotel managers, rooms have been reserved for the weekend of May 18 to 20 for as long as a year.
In the past, Ellsworth Hall has
provided lodging for families who couldn't find an available hotel. However, this year is different. Eric Grosspitch, director of apartment living for student housing, said lodging in Ellsworth this year seemed unneeded.
"Last year we only had about 40 people stay in Ellsworth," Grospitch said. "In years before, we had about 150 to 200 people. Because of new hotels in town, there's just no need for people to stay in Ellsworth anymore," Grospitch said.
stay in Hashinger Hall this spring if needed. Most of the people expected to occupy Hashinger Hall for graduation weekend will be graduating seniors who need a place to stay. Students can stay there for free from Thursday, May 17, through the evening of Sunday, May 20, but only if they have a spring contract with student housing. Grosspitch said.
Even so, the department will be preparing for about 50 people to
"If a senior needs to stay there, we will let them," he said. "We're expecting very few to ask about it."
Though the housing department said the demand of families to stay in residence halls had
slowed dramatically, hotels in Lawrence seemed as full as in past years.
"We were full six months out," said Ginger Ray, front office manager at the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St.
Ray said that since the Eldridge had only 48 rooms, reservations needed to be made far in advance. He also said the hotel felt no competition with any hotels in Lawrence, new or otherwise.
Other hotels in town have also been booked for more than six months. Heidi Champagne, general manager at the Hampton Inn, 2300 W. Sixth St., said the motel
"My mom is pretty anal about that kind of stuff, so she definitely knew to plan ahead." Tyler Evans Chicago senior
had sold out for graduation week end a year ago. Aimer Malik, manager at Travelodge, 801 Iowa St., said competition with other hotels was not normally felt and being sold out six months before graduation was normal.
Graduating seniors should warn out-of-town parents that they need to reserve a hotel room early. Some parents, however, know to plan ahead. Tyler Evans, Chicago senior, said his parents had reserved a hotel room seven months ago at the Westminster Inn & Suites, 2525 W. Sixth St.
"My mom and dad always had troubles in the past getting hotel rooms to come down for stuff, so they knew that it was going to be really chaotic at this time of year," Evans said. "My mom is pretty anal about that kind of stuff, so she definitely knew to plan ahead."

Job market ready for graduates
By Erin Adamson
Kansan staff writer
Most graduating seniors can expect a job market happy to absorb this spring's slew of college graduates, said Gall Rooney, director of Career and Employment Services for Liberal Arts and Sciences and part-time employment.
"We continue to see the job market as being good," Rooney said. "Particularly for the college graduate entry level positions."
rooney said a recently released survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers said employers would hire 18 percent more recent college graduates this year than last.
Doug Thompson, Overland Park senior, said he wasn't worried about finding a job after he graduated in May with a degree in both broadcast
journalism and strategic communications.
"I think the problem is a lot of people get on an Internet job search and they don't find exactly what they are looking for when they type in a job title." Thompson said.
Thompson said he had been offered a job he found through a friend who had already graduated.
nimpson said a summer internship in broadcast journalism helped him decide he didn't want to work in the broadcast field. He said he was practical about the job search and concentrated on business jobs.
"I would love to be an actor, that's what I'm passionate about," Thompson. "I'm also passionate about paying my bills. You're going to do pretty well depending on how hard you work."
Rooney said even the failure of dotcom companies wouldn't hurt this
spring's graduates' chances of finding jobs because large companies were hiring people with strong technical skills.
She attributed the increase in nonprofit jobs to active recruiting on college campuses and an increase in government jobs because many government employees were preparing to retire.
"I think we are seeing more nonprofit, government positions coming through our office," Rooney said.
Ann Hartley, associate director of Career and Employment Services, said liberal arts and science degrees offered graduates flexibility when looking for a job, but also required graduates to be creative.
Cathy Schwabauer, director of Engineering Career Services Center, said the engineering field had experienced a slight decrease of jobs in the information technology
and telecommunications industries, but would not affect many graduating students.
She cited civil and architectural engineering as areas where the job market was especially strong. Schwabauer said the School of Engineering was still collecting information about where engineering seniors had been hired.
Tyler Adams, Leavenworth senior,
said he wasn't worried at all about
finding a job with his graphics-
design degree.
Adams said many graphic design students waited to look for jobs until their end-of-the-year show, when recruiters came to campus to hire KU graduates.
Adams said he wanted to find challenging work in the Kansas City area, and he thought he would find work without a problem.

This can mean different things to different people: earning a lot of money, finding a suitable job or just being happy with life. But one criterion for making it that immediately comes to mind is paying the bills.
College grads will face many financial challenges, but some of the keys to successful financial management are to become knowledgeable about what to expect, think ahead, talk with parents or another mentor, and make plans.
Bankrate.com asked financial experts for their lists of the top 10 financial surprises faced by college graduates and for suggestions on "making it" in the real world.
and social security
Top 10 financial surprises for college grads
1. Gross vs. net income — Be careful with this one. Don't plan what you can afford for rent, car, and other bills based on the gross salary. Chances are, you've never made this much money before, and you will be surprised at the huge chunk taken out for benefits, taxes
2. Cost of independence Things to consider are rent, insurance, car maintenance, utility bills, groceries, cable or Internet access, etc. Most grads will not be able to afford an apartment by themselves. Think about having one or two roommates to cut costs.
3. First tax return — Most students have filed tax returns, but chances are the forms were very simple. It gets more complicated. Think about possible deductions, such as job-hunting expenses, travel to interviews, moving expenses related to starting a new job, charitable contributions, subscriptions to journals and association dues. Also remember to keep receipts, pay stubs and other important paperwork.
4. Car insurance — Usually students get better insurance rates as long as they are on their parents' policies. When your car is no longer registered under your parents' name, you will have to insure your car on your own. This tends to be more expensive. Check with multiple companies to find the best rates, and keep the speeding tickets to a minimum.
5. Health insurance—The other insurance coverage that comes to a screeching halt when students
graduate is health insurance. Whether still in school or not, you cannot be covered under your parents' policy after a certain age. Most employers offer health insurance, but during the interim period between graduating and full-time employment, you need to talk to your parents or an insurance agent about catastrophic coverage on a short-term basis. Some colleges offer interim coverage.
6. Overlooked insurance needs When renting an apartment or a house, remember that the landlords' insurance covers the building, not personal belongings. Weigh the cost of a renters' insurance policy against the value of possessions to see if it would be worth it.
7. Bad credit decisions in college have long-term implications — Perhaps the most unsettling surprise for college graduates surrounds the impact poor use of credit during college can have for years after graduation. A bad credit report can affect your ability to rent an apartment, obtain a loan or even get a job. Many companies check credit reports and may choose not to hire based on irresponsible credit ratings. Excessive debt could also have physical consequences: depression, problem drinking, insomnia or emotional explosions.
8. Credit isn't free money — Credit card companies barrage you with offers and sign-up incentives because they want you to go into debt. That is how they make their money. Credit card interest rates can average around 18 percent. When only the minimum is paid every moth, the interest grows, and it can take years to pay.
9. Student loans don't go away
Students are often surprised by how soon six months passes and they have to start paying on their student loans. Be careful of deferring loan payments because they continue to accrue interest. Something else to remember is that if you ever declare bankruptcy, everything will be forgiven except student loans.
10. Now is the time to start saving for retirement — This may be the last thing on most students' minds, but it is a missed opportunity that will never come again. Many companies will match fully or partially what's put into a 401(k) account, and the money is taken out of the paycheck before taxes, which means that taxes are not paid on the money until it is withdrawn for retirement.

Consumer spending incomes on the rise
WASHINGTON — Consumers were selective when it came to opening their wallets and pocketbooks in March. They spent briskly on services but were more thrify on big-ticket items like cars.
All told, the Commerce Department said Monday consumer spending rose by a moderate 0.3 percent last month, slightly faster than expected.
At the same time, Americans' incomes, which include wages, interest and government benefits, rose 0.5 percent, matching many analysts' expectations. The spending and income figures aren't adjusted for inflation.
Economist Ken Mayland of ClearView Economics said people cut back on purchases of costly manufactured goods last month because they decided they could make due with, for instance, the old car or refrigerator, given the uncertain economic times.
But consumers maintained spending on services—such as medical care and home utilities —because they are necessities, he said.
consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of all economic activity and has been a main force propping up the economy, which grew at an annual rate of 2 percent in the first quarter.
On Wall Street, blue-chip stocks declined for the day, giving back earlier gains in the session. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 75.08 points to close at 10.734.97.
While consumers have been resilient, manufacturing has been weak, business investment has been sluggish and the stock market has been volatile. Higher energy prices also have squeezed corporate profits and restrained consumer spending.
Though consumer confidence made a bit of a comeback in March after five straight months of declines, it dropped sharply again in April.
Altogether, these forces "have sapped a lot of energy from consumers but they haven't knocked them out of the game," said economist Clifford Waldman of Waldman Associates.
One big reason consumer spending hasn't collapsed in light of all these factors which tend to damp
spending is because most Americans still have jobs, economistssaid.
With the nation's unemployment rate, now at 4.3 percent, expected to continue rising in the months ahead, analysts cautioned that consumer spending may grow more slowly. Economists said that's a big factor in forecasts of weaker economic growth for the current second quarter.
The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates four times this year, totaling 2 percentage points. The reductions are designed to induce consumers to spend and businesses to invest, thus boosting economic growth. Analysts expect the Fed to cut rates for a fifth time on May 15.
In March, spending on durable goods — costly manufactured items expected to last at least three years, decreased by 1.1 percent, following a 1.6 percent rise the month before. March's decrease mostly reflected reduced spending on cars.
"We're seeing evidence of more careful shopper," said Paul Taylor, chief economist at the National Automobile Dealers Association. Higher energy prices, he said, is trimming spending and more expensive gasoline is steering some buyers to less expensive smaller cars.
Spending on services rose 0.7 percent, up from a 0.2 percent increase. The services category includes such things as gas and electric utilities, doctors visits, bus and train fares and rent for housing.
Spending for nondurables, such as food and clothing, was flat, after a 0.5 percent drop in February.
With income growth outpacing spending, Americans' personal savings rate — savings as a percentage of after-tax income — rose to a negative 0.8 percent in March from a negative 1.0 percent in February.
Even with the improvement, analysts say, the savings rate does not provide a complete picture of household finances because it doesn't capture gains realized from such things as higher real-estate values or from financial investments.
In February, Americans' spending rose by 0.2 percent, according to revised figures, slightly weaker than the government previously estimated. But income growth was revised up to 0.5 percent, slightly stronger than previously thought.

Newest crop of college graduates still fielding plenty of job offers
Tribune News Service
Macalester College graduating senior Ryan Abbe is one of the fortunate ones.
In July, he starts a $45,000-a-year job as an investment banking analyst for U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray in Minneapolis. He accepted Piper Jaffray's offer — complete with a signing bonus — in December.
Although Piper Jaffray has since laid off 70 employees during a bearish stock market, Abbe still has his job, and he takes a pragmatic view of his future in the company's financial institutions group.
"In this kind of economy, businesses still need people to get a lot of work done for relatively little money," said Abbe, 22, who majored in economics and earned a 3.6 grade point average at the St. Paul, Minn., college. "I still feel OK, but you never know, and that's part of the game."
Though layoffs are mounting nationwide, hiring of the latest crop of college graduates is still on the rise, according to fall and spring surveys by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
The spring survey just completed
showed employers expect to hire 19 percent more college grads than they did a year ago. Still, that figure is down from the 24 percent increase that employers anticipated last fall.
"Definitely, things have slowed down," said Camille Luckenbaugh, employment information manager for the Bethlehem, Pa.-based association. "But when you look at the big picture, employers are still in a growth cycle. Unemployment is low."
A liberal arts major is not the kiss of death, however. Employers ranked liberal arts No. 5 among the top five majors they sought in college graduates, according to a fall 2000 survey by the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University. The others, in order: engineering, computer science, business and the sciences.
But last year's intense bidding wars for graduates in such fields as computer science, engineering and business appear to be cooling off. Multiple job offers and signing bonuses aren't as prevalent.
The first wave of baby boomers hits age 55 this year and could begin to take early retirement. If not, compa-

ties engaged in succession planning may hold off hiring, he said.
This spring, college counselors are advising students to expect longer job searches and not to wait until they graduate to begin. So far, they haven't seen a lot of recruiters canceling interviews or their booths at job fairs.
five years of experience.
When Toni Peluso entered the University of St. Thomas four years ago, the economy was booming. The public relations major wants to find a job in marketing or sales, but so far is discovering that her targeted employers want people with three to
"A lot of companies seem to be cutting back on entry-level jobs," said Peluso, who hopes to work in the Twin Cities area or Chicago. "It's hard to get a foot in the door, and the hardest part is getting an interview. Once I get an interview, I do fine."
Peluso, who minored in political science, went so far as to crash a job fair held last fall at DePaul University in Chicago, where a friend attends, to talk to potential employers.
"I was scheduled for an interview at Best Buy, but they canceled out of nowhere and told me they weren't hiring entry-level people," Gragrant said recently while waiting for an interview with a recruiter from ATG, a local information systems consulting firm.
Even those hot computer science majors are affected by the economic slowdown, said Loren Graagert of Stillwater, who is graduating from St. Thomas with a double major in computer science and biochemistry and a 3.74 grade point average.
Sofar, Gragerat has received one job offer in the high $40,000s. No bonus was offered. He is weighing whether
to take a job or go on to graduate school.
"Ithaven't any luck with the big science companies such as 3M, Medtronic and Honeywell — they're hiring Ph.D. s." he said.
Less competition for college graduates is a blessing for some employers.
The St. Paul Cos, will hire 100 college graduates this year, which is up from last year, said representative Arline Datu.
Even with the slowdown in some sectors, the job market is much better than it was when Sharon Kurtt graduated in 1980. The current director of career services for the University of Minnesota's Institute of Technology recently gave advice to students attending the university's annual GradFest, a one-stop shopping event for caps, gowns and last-minute job counseling.
"Igot one job interview—as a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines," Kurtt recalled, adding that was in the fall of her senior year. "I found myself in a room with 400 to 500 applicants, and some had Ph.D.s in biology. Here I was, 21 years old, competing with Ph.D.s for a flight attendant's job."
Kurtt didn't have much sympathy

or senior Eric Jensen, who is just beginning his job search and sought advice for his resume. Jensen will graduate with a 3.4 grade point average in management information systems—a somewhat hot field—from the Carlson School of Management. Jensen says he "dropped the ball" by not starting his search last fall when recruiting and hiring were busiest.

草编
草编是一种传统的手工艺，用各种植物原料，通过简单的加工和编织，制作出具有自然风格的布料。草编布料的种类繁多，包括棉、麻、丝绸等。它可以用来制作衣服、帐篷、围裙、皮包、帽子、鞋帽等。草编布料的颜色多样，有红、黄、白、绿、蓝、紫等。此外，它还可以用于装饰、建筑、摆设等领域。
草编布料的制作方法有很多，其中最常见的方法就是手工编织。通过将草纤维放入编织机中进行编织，然后用线或者针子固定在织物上完成成品。草编布料的材料通常是天然的，如棉花、麻质、草本等。它具有透气性和吸湿性，能够保持衣物的干爽和舒适。
草编布料的用途非常广泛。除了作为日常家居用品之外，它也可以用于装饰、建筑、摆设等领域。比如，可以用来做桌垫、窗帘、墙面装饰等。草编布料的风格也丰富多样，可根据自己的喜好进行选择。例如，可以搭配深色背景，或者选择柔和清新的色调。
草编布料的制作过程相对简单，但需要一定的技艺和耐心。由于草纤维的独特性和天然特性，草编布料的质量可能会有一定的差异。因此，在购买草编布料时，应选择品质好的材料，并注意产品的品牌和历史。

Forum seeks economic reform
Global finance prime concern
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senior finance officials from the world's richest nations turned their attention Sunday to pursuing reforms in the operation of the global financial system.
U. S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, joined by their counterparts representing the other countries in the 183-nation International Monetary Fund, focused on ways to help avert future financial crises, or at least better manage them.
The Group of 10, a collection of the largest contributors to IMF operations, said rich nations were urging greater coordination in overseeing large international banks.
The Group of 10 warned the grow
ing trend of consolidation in the banking sector was creating huge institutions that could cause worldwide problems "if a large and complex financial organization encountered serious financial difficulties."
Anti-globalization protesters, who disrupted last spring's meetings of the IMF and its sister institution, the World Bank, planned a small, two-hour afternoon demonstration in a park in front of the two organizations' headquarters near the White House.
Charles Ramsey, the district of Columbia police chief, predicted "minor protests but nothing we can't handle." All was calm early Sunday, but there was a heavy police presence.
They expanded the perimeter around the two buildings, closing off one street to traffic and stationing officers on street corners in the neighborhood. Ministers in black limousines rolled through the control points.
Meeting at Blair House, the government guest residence, the
finance ministers and central bank presidents from the Group of Seven countries — the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Canada — said Saturday they would pursue "vigilant and forward-looking ... policies that promote strong productivity growth."
O'Neill said the other G-7 countries generally supported current steps the United States was taking including interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and President Bush's tax relief program, as the proper way to deal with the slowdown in the world's biggest economy.
"I came away from the meeting with a real sense of optimism that world prospects are good going forward," O'Neill told reporters Saturday at a briefing after the nearly six hours of talks.
There were discussions at the meeting about a new campaign to fight HIV/AIDs and other infectious diseases. U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan last week urged establishment of a global fund to battle AIDS in developing countries.
European ministers hope to begin discussions of this effort when the G-7 holds its annual summit meeting in Genoa, Italy in July. But a senior Treasury official said the Bush administration had some reservations about taking part and the final decision rested with the president.
In their six-page joint statement, the G-7 finance officials said that while U.S. growth had slowed sharply, the country's long-term economic fundamentals "remain strong."
The finance ministers avoided one of the controversies going into the meeting; whether the European Central Bank should reduce interest rates to bolster global growth prospects, something the Europeans have resisted because of fears that inflation is still too high.
The discussions, led by O'Neill and Greenspan, came amid a sharp drop in U.S. economic activity that has pushed world growth prospects to the lowest point since the 1997-1988 Asian currency crisis.
Motorists frustrated by high gas prices
Tribune Media Services
PHILADELPHIA — Bonita Bishop wasn’thappy Saturday morning as she pumped $7 worth of gas into her black 95 Toyota Corolla.
"they're stressing me," Bishop said, looking at the gas prices posted on the pump at the Mobile station at the corner of City and Belmont avenues in Philadelphia. "I can't afford this."
It already was bad enough a week or so ago, when she shelled out $1.59 per gallon, but this time it cost her $1.75 for a gallon of special-grade unleaded gasoline.
"As a single parent, I'm reacting, like, 'Come on now,' said Bishop."
"Prices are going up and up,and there's nothing you can do about it. They've really got you."
In New Jersey, the average price was $1.62 a gallon — eight cents more than 10 days before and 17 cents more than a month earlier. Nationally, the average price was $1.63 at week's end.
There was plenty of such grumbling Saturday as motorists were met with another price hike at the pumps.
koscoe Campbell Philadelphia motorist
On Friday, the average price of regular unleaded gas was $1.58 a gallon in Pennsylvania — up six cents from 10 days before and 19 cents higher than a month earlier, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic.
Energy experts blame the dramatic jump in prices on a number of factors, including increased demand for gasoline and low inventories because not enough gasoline is being produced.
Some analysts predict that by the time summer-
vacation season rolls around, drivers could be paying closer to $2 a gallon — and even as high as $3 in some parts of the country.
While prices climb, gasoline companies report robust profits — a fact not lost on irritated drivers. ExxonMobil Corp. reported last week a $5 billion first-quarter profit, 51 percent higher than a year ago.
"Prices are going up and up, and there's nothing you can do about it. They've really got you," said Roscoe Campbell, a retired city policeman who
said his blue '98 Ford Taurus gets 19 miles per gallon around town.
Campbell usually fills up near his home in Mount Airy, where he says he finds the best prices, but Saturday, running nearly on empty, he pulled into the Mobil station on City Avenue. He was dismayed to find that $15 got him just more than eight gallons of super unleaded.
On Montgomery Avenue in Bala Cynwyd, Bob Swainhart, the night manager at a Texaco station, said prices had gone up twice in a week in reaction to increases from the distributor — jumping four cents in one day alone. Each time the prices change, someone has to climb a ladder and switch the sign numbers. Saturday, a gallon of regular was selling for just shy of $1.64.
For some drivers filling up Saturday at the Exxon station on Montgomery Avenue in Haverford, rising prices are forcing a rethinking of habits.
Andrea Downs, 18, of Rosemont, was just home from her senior prom and rushing to get ready for her sister's wedding when she stopped at the Exxon station for a few gallons.
Five dollars used to get her 3.67 gallons, Downs said, but now that bought just over 3.
"I feel like I'm being cheated," she said.

Miami student ready to graduate
82-year-old man waited 63 years to get his degree
Tribune Media Services
So what track are you on, young student? Are you actually graduating college in four years, or are you a seven-year plan kind of student? Eight years? Nine years?
How about 63 years? That's the story of 82-year-old Quentin Pearson, who next month will become the oldest graduate in the history of the University of Miami.
Pearson's college career might have ended decades ago, but his participation as a pilot in two major wars — World War II while a student at the University of Washington and the Korean War after he had transferred to Miami — twice put his plans on hold.
Nevertheless, despite having some unfinished business with the university, Pearson was only nine credit hours shy of a degree upon embarking on his second return to
the school, according to associate education dean Shawn Post, who said that deciphering Pearson's transcript was hardly a run-of-the-mill task.
"They didn't exactly have computers back then." Post said with a laugh. "It basically consisted of searching through the old filling cabinets. The fact that he didn't lose any of his credits after all this time is pretty amazing."
In an interview with the Miami Herald, Pearson, who originally enrolled at the university in 1950, said that "I just decided that I wanted my degree" after being inspired by his daughter, who had recently returned to school to get her master's degree.
The education major said that he has modest plans for his degree.
"I keep reading in the paper that schools need substitute teachers and teacher's aides." Pearson said. "I might be pretty good at that."
In an interesting twist, according to Post, Pearson completed his student teaching duties, required of all education majors at the University of Miami, some 50 years ago.
Medical residents seek work hour limit
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Medical residents are pressing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to set limits on the hours they may work each week.
The physicians-in-training say they regularly clock 95 hours a week and sometimes as many as 136 hours, increasing their risk of auto accidents, depression and other health problems.
"Any system allowing its workers to be subjected to such direct threats to their well-being is seriously flawed," said a petition filed Monday by medical residents and health advocates.
"For OSHA not to regulate resident work hours is to abdicate its responsibility to protect the health of those who care for the nation's sick and dying."
The petition asks OSHA to:
- Limit shifts to a maximum of 24 consecutive hours.
- Limit on-call shifts to every third night
Require a minimum of 10 hours off between shifts.
Require at least one 24-hour off-duty period per week.
Limit shifts to 12 consecutive hours for emergency room residents who work in the busiest hospitals — those with more than 15,000 unscheduled patient visits a year.
However, a problem the effort faces is that the law by which OSHA regulates — the Occupational Safety and Health Act — does not address the issue of work hours.
OSHA received the petition and is reviewing it, said representative Susan Fleming.
Utah company attempts to attract engineer majors
CLEARFIELD, Utah — Futura Industries is one company that would save potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars should Utah institutions find a way to turn out more graduates in engineering fields.
Tribune Media Services
A $4 million package set for approval by the executive committee of the Utah Board of Regents Monday is designed to bolster Utah's offerings in engineering and computer science.
It's a needed effort said Susan Johnson, president and general manager of Futura Industries.
"Three years ago we were desperate to hire engineers," Johnson said. "It took us a while to find them."
Her company has paid as much as $10,000 to recruiters who found the needed engineers in far-away places like Minnesota, Washington and Indiana and also has doled out as much to fund relocating the new hires.
Johnson said hiring local people would not only save these costs but she'd also likely have a happier work force with employees that wouldn't have to relocate.
Johnson, a member of an industrial advisory board, appointed by Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt to suggest ways the Regents could dole out the $4 million, Thursday met with the committee to modify suggestions it offered last week, which were to send all the money to only three of Utah's higher education facilities — Weber State University, Utah State University and University of Utah.
While board members argued last week that the money would be better spent in existing successful programs, representatives from Utah's other six institutions said it wasn't fair for them to be excluded.
"It looked like the bottle necks were at the four-year programs at the universities," said board member John Sutherland.
Johnson said last year 680 qualified students were turned away from University of Utah engineering-related programs and 300 were turned away from Weber

State computer engineering programs.
Where such programs did not currently exist, educators said they had planned to use their share of the money to start programs.
Johnson declined comment about what compromise the board may have reached Thursday. She said board members opted to wait until Monday's public meeting to make statements.
The controversy seems to be just the latest chapter in an ongoing debate in Utah about how to stretch limited education funds effectively.
The $4 million was granted to the Regents through Senate Bill 61, sponsored by Sen. Lyle Hillyard, R-Logan, as part of Leavitt's initiative to double in five years and triple in eight years the number of graduates in engineering, computer science and related technology programs.
But Mike Petersen, associate commissioner for higher education, said $4 million is far too little to start meeting the governor's goals.
He said an extensive analysis indicated about $23 million would be needed to double the number of graduates.
The governor's initial budget request was for $11 million - $5.5 million in on-going budget support for two years, Petersen said. With this money matched by the schools, it would total $22 million.
This initiative only includes $1 million in on-going funds with $2.5 million funding equipment and $500,000 paying for a student loan forgiveness program.
"Clearly with $1 million, it's just not realistic to talk about doubling and then tripling your programs," he said.

Network broadcasting not diverse, study says
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — More than a year after the major TV networks agreed to better reflect America's ethnic mix, broadcasters continue to marginalize minorities and women, according to a new study.
Overall, network television remains a white man's world, the advocacy group Children Now concludes in its study of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, UPN and WB. The group conducted a similar study of the 1999-2000 TV season.
the prime-time sitcoms most likely to draw younger viewers offer the least diversity on television, according to the report released yesterday.
A viewer watching TV on any given night during the 2000-01 season would most likely see featured "a thirty-something, white male" working in a professional job, the study said.
The vast majority of the character's friends and co-workers also would be white professional men. Minorities appear mostly to provide "a service, a piece of information or a punch line," the study said.
can be done and more will be done."
Situation comedies, the most popular genre among children, are the least diverse programs on TV, the study said. Only 14 percent have ethnically mixed casts, while the vast majority tend to feature all white or, in a few cases, all black characters.
In comparison, mixed leading casts are featured on two-thirds (67 percent) of the programs, mostly dramas, airing during the 12 a.m. CST hour. That's when the fewest children are watching, the study said.
The study questioned the message segregated sitcoms are sending young viewers, noting a 1999 Children Now poll found 12 to 17-year-olds chose comedians as their top TV role models.
The picture was brighter for some ethnic groups, dimmer for others. While the number of black characters in network series increased to 17 percent from 13 percent, Hispanics dropped from 3 percent to 2 percent. Asian Pacific American characters increased from 2 percent to 3 percent.
By comparison, blacks and Hispanics each make up about 12 percent of the U.S. population and Asian Pacific Americans are 9percent, according to 2000 census figures.
Women aren't taring well on television either. There are twice as many male as female characters, and the women tend to be cookiecutter "beautiful, young, thin and white" and motivated mostly by looks and love, researchers said.

High job growth linked to population surges
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—There is plenty of work to be found in Las Vegas.
Clark County, Nev., home to Las Vegas, had one of the highest rates of job growth among the country's largest counties between 1998 and 1999, according to Census Bureau reports being released today.
Other counties with high job growth tended to be in the South and West, including Fulton County, Ga., which encompasses Atlanta; Travis County, Texas, which includes Austin; and San Diego County, Calif.
Despite population growth and the recently unsettled economy, there still aren't enough workers to fill jobs in many of those counties, said Jane Whisner, managing director of the Eastridge Group of Staffing Companies in Las Vegas. Businesses must get more creative with benefits packages to lure and retain people, she said.
"You can attract people monetarily, but benefits that enhance quality of life retain them," Whisner said.
Whisher said the job growth data is the latest
The job growth available, and was separate from the 2000 census. But it is not surprising that the 2000 head count showed that most of the top counties in job growth saw their populations surge over the past decade, said Mark Mather, an
County, Nev., was up 8.7 percent between 1998 and 1999, according to the Census Bureau report. Nationally, there was 2.4 percent job growth during that period.

Many of the counties saw large increases in their Hispanic population. Many recently arrived immigrants filled positions in construction and low-wage, service-oriented areas, Mather said.

There was 5.7 percent job growth in San Diego County, Calif., between 1998 and 1999. San Diego County's population went up 13 percent the past decade, but once-small bedroom communities in neighboring Riverside County saw much faster growth.
Among the new perks being offered by companies in San Diego and Las Vegas, according to a recent survey by the Eastridge Group, were massages every three months, memberships to wholesale food stores and free shipping services in December.
The Census Bureau county jobgrowth data was made available in separate reports for each state and the District of Columbia.
College graduates receive fewer technology job offers
Tribune Media Services
A year ago, engineering and computer science majors at UC Berkeley couldn't avoid high tech job offers. Some companies staked out campus buildings and delivered pizza to labs.
No longer. The sagging economy has altered the landscape for new graduates, especially in the once booming world of high tech. Now graduates are seeking. Instead of looking for a start-up promising millions in months, they want a company that lasts until next year.
Analysts say jobs are still plentiful, but the competition for them has increased.
Across the nation, employers have scaled back their hiring plans. Although they aim to hire 18.8 percent more new college graduates this year than last year, that's down from their August predictions of 23.4 percent, according to the
National Association of Colleges and Employers in a survey released earlier this month.
Employers in the Midwest intend to scale back hiring plans for new graduates 42 percent.
But hard-hit companies like Cisco Systems in San Jose, which plans to layoff 8,500 employees by the month's end, have sharply curtailed their hiring of new graduates.
Salaries continue to climb for many graduates, according to another recent NACE report. Computer science graduates saw their average salary offer increase 7.8 percent to $52,259 while engineering graduates saw their's rise 11.5 percent to $53,818.
New college graduates are now competing with more experienced workers laid off by dot.com companies in Silicon Valley, said Ed Morton, of the career development center at Cal-State Hayward.

Many colleges support relaxing finals week

Finals are a vicious cycle.

Finale on a unique cycle.
Finals are a vicious cycle.
with finals week looming like a clock tower, the next few weeks have the potential to be pretty stressful, just ask your blood pressure. While colleges of yesteryear might have taken the gritty attitude of "tuff it out," many institutions are now helping students with counseling and courses to help manage and reduce stress.
William Prescott, associate director at UCLA student psychological services, runs short three-session workshops at the university's stress clinic and said he sees an increase in student stress between midterms and finals.
"Students face a fair amount of stress that probably hits about midterms," he said.
To reduce stress levels, the UCLA stress clinic teaches students a life
ferent relaxation techniques and talks about stress.
"If they manage to relax and they're still saying the things that scare themselves to death, they're going to be back in a state of stress rather quickly," Prescott said.
One of the relaxation techniques is deep breathing, which can help a student lower stress levels. The lower levels will help a student concentrate on the task at hand and presumably test or study more effectively. Prescott relates the experience to walking out of an exam and beginning to remember answers as you walk away. The more relaxed environment of a hallway puts a mind in a state where it can begin to fully function.
But the deep breathing relaxation technique isn't for everyone, he says. Getting too relaxed won't put the mind in a state where it's firing at full speed.
with academic stress.
Rob Sepich, a health educator with university health services at University of Wisconsin, said that students often seek help in dealing
The bulk of student's stress comes from the small day-to-day events, Sepich said, not from catastrophic events. To deal with daily stresses, he recommends taking time each day to do something pleasurable, from listening to a CD to taking a walk. In addition to reducing stress levels, it will also increase attention levels when returning to work, he said.
While the bulk of students come to the health services department seeking traditional counseling services, the University of Wisconsin also offers students massage therapy at a discounted rate of $30 for 50 minutes of massage.
Counseling and therapy may address the bulk of student's stress concerns, but many students are beginning to turn to dietary supplements to help reduce stress. Not the usual caffeine and nicotine, Tums and Vivrin, however.
Dr. Ray Sahelian, author of the book Mind Boosters, which discusses how dietary supplements can improve health, says caffeine may

neip a student stay up late to study but the information may not stick the way one would hope.
"Caffeine will prohibit people from entering a deep stage of sleep, and good sleep is essential for memory consolidation," he said. "During deep sleep the brain reorganizes and place all the information it has acquired during the day. It also helps regenerate the brain chemicals and hormones necessary for full alertness the following day."
Sahelian also recommends taking a few dietary supplements such as B complex and fish oils, which can help with brain function.

"No, over the last six days, actually," he said.
What's that, Jack? Nineteen hours of sleep in one day?
Look at Jack Reimer, and envy him. The DePaul University freshman has just logged more than 19 hours of sleep.
Oh well. So much for envy, right? Not so, according to the partially-bloodshot 18-year-old.
"One of the guys in my chemistry lab class said he hasn't slept for two days," Reimer says. "I don't know if that's true, but he looked pretty dead, so who knows."
Such is one of the great ironies of the college experience, and perhaps life as well. The more sleep one needs, the less he or she usually gets. Students need to stretch their wisdom and memorization skills to this limit during exam season, yet students who participate in cramming sessions and allnight study breaks often sleep even less than they would during
normal hours of operation.
His picture is the portrait of the American slumber culture, according to the National Sleep Foundation, which in 2001 found that two-thirds of all adult Americans do not get eight hours of sleep per night.
Of greater concern is that one in five adults polled said that a lack of sleep is taking a toll on their everyday lives, a number that foundation Vice President James C. Walsh, said has risen markedly in the last five years.
He said that such problems naturally worsen for students during finals time, since the more work one does, the less relief they usually get. Walsh's solution? Simple.
"Learn to manage your time better," he said. "And don't underestimate the value of a good night's sleep. A lot of people — most, in fact — choose to disregard the problem and ignore it, but loss of sleep has more impact on one's daily performance that most people know."

Freshman enters plea for Lewis hate crime
By Brooke Hesler
writer@ kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Craig Avery pleaded not guilty yesterday to criminal damage to property charges for writing the words, "AIDS kills fags dead," on a Lewis Hall dorm room last month. He is scheduled to go to trial Thursday, July 5.
Avery, University of Kansas freshman, could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Galen Stoeber, who lived in the room where the vandalmism occurred, said he considered what Avery did a hate crime. He said he thought he was the primary target of the message since he is gay.
under the influence learn how much
"I wish he would have come and talked to me if he had a problem," Stoeber, Garden City sophomore, said. "He made it such a larger deal by doing what he did."
Avery lived next door to Stoeber and his roommate, Curtis Dixon, who identified himself as bisexual. The men said they thought Avery had moved out of the residence hall. But Randy Timm, assistant director of student housing, didn't know and could not comment on the specifics of the case.
Dixon, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, said positive things came out of the incident. He said the two spoke about their ordeal during Pride Week last month.
Both men said they had received numerous e-mails from students and community members in support.
"This has been really hard on Galen and I." Dixon said. "We've received a lot of support, though. It brought the community together. I hope Craig can see all of his handwork."
"Everyone came up to us and said how sorry they were." Stoeber said. "They asked if there was anything they could do."
Dixon said the floor's resident assistant posted fliers around the floor about tolerance. Nate Harold, who lives on the floor with the men, said residents were appalled at the message.
Steber said he was surprised such homophobia still existed.
"It made me really mad when I saw it," Harold, Weskan sophomore, said. "It's too bad that something like that had to happen to such nice guys."
"Being in student housing and having rules and regulations here, I thought we were in a safe environment where we could be ourselves and not have to worry about bigots," Stoeber said. "We're on such an open-minded campus, small-minded people like that are in the minority."

Steve Lambert was feeling the buzz from the eight Budweisers he drank at a Super Bowl party, carefully steering his car around the Chi Omega fountain, when the flashing lights of a patrol car behind him suddenly illuminated the inside of his car.
Dave Bandy left a party after a few drinks to pick up his girlfriend, but he ran a flashing red light at an intersection and collided with a police car.
108 KU students busted for driving under the influence in Lawrence last year. The Lawrence Municipal Court, which handles first and secondtime DUIs within the city, had 520 in 2000-21 percent of them KU students.
Bryson Gay finished off a bottle of Bushmills whiskey with friends, climbed into his dad's 1967 Plymouth Barracuda, and headed for his apartment, not arriving there until 24 hours and one DUI later. He left the Barracuda wrapped around a telephone pole.
Little did those students realize when

they were asked to step out of the car to perform field sobriety tests how much the DUI would cost them.
The direct cash costs of a DUI can reach $5,000 to $10,000 for fines, attorney fees, court costs and bail bonds. DUI offenders can also expect to pay $125 for an alcohol dependency examination and anywhere from $100 to $1,000 for the treatment that is recommended. When their insurance companies learn about the conviction, offenders can expect to have their premiums doubled or even their coverage cancelled.
Many offenders also discover painful hidden costs that can't be measured in dollars — the humiliation of the conviction; jail time or mandatory community service; a criminal record that threatens their chances to get into law school or law enforcement; and a suspended driver's license that makes it difficult to attend school, hold a job or even maintain a romantic relationship or social life.
Learning the course Bryson Gay, a Shawnee freshman last year, worked eight months to repay his parents she $6,000 it took to cover his DUI expenses. His DUI forced him to drop out of school because he had no transportation to get to class
Learning the costs
"I was just drinking that night and got ahead of myself. I didn't notice how drunk I was. I thought I was sober enough to drive," he said. "It set my life back by about a year or so."
without his license. Instead, he spent almost 14 hours each week for five weeks attending court-required alcohol information school.
He got his license back in April and plans
to start taking classes again this summer.
In Kansas, first-time DUI offenders' licenses are suspended for 30 days and restricted for the next 11 months, allowing them to drive only to school, work or an approved treatment program. Refusing the Breathalyzer test brings a one-year automatic suspension.
Dave Bandy, Overland Park freshman, hopes to get his license back this month. He lost it for a full year because of Kansas' Zero Tolerance for Youth law. Under that law, drivers under 21 have to be below .02 on the blood alcohol test to be legal. Even though the standard is lower than the .08 limit set for adults, the underage DUI offenders are held to the same sentencing guidelines plus the one-year license suspension.
"I only had a few drinks," Bandy said. "I was a little buzzed, and I went with another buddy to pick my girlfriend up. It wasn't even a block or two away. I was reaching down to mess with my stereo, and I guess I wasn't paying attention."
Bandy spent the rest of that night in jail, waiting for a friend to borrow money and pay a bondsman to cover the $500 municipal court bond to get out of jail.
The costs begin to add up
The next step finding a lawyer hits students' wallets hard.
A court-appointed attorney costs $50 per hour, said Douglas County District Attorney Christine Tonkovich. But defendants have to demonstrate financial need to qualify for that reduced rate.
Otherwise, they have to find their own attorney, which Tonkovich said could be twice as expensive.
brent Wasko, Salina junior, got his DUI while on spring break last year in Colorado. Because he faced charges of using a fake ID as well as his DUI, he wanted the best attorney he could get. The cost: $5,000 for ator-
ney and another $5,000 for court costs and bond. The costs will hit home when he graduates next spring, he said. At that point, he will begin repaying his dad the $10,000, which he said could take years.
Tough on DUIs
Driving under the influence is a serious crime, said Tonkovich, whose office prosecutes DUI cases outside city limits or on an offender's third DUI. She said she filed charges in every DUI case that she could. The city prosecutor, Tom Porter, who prosecutes the other cases, said students were the largest age group he saw for DUIs.
Sheriff Rick Trapp, who worked as an assistant district attorney for 16 years, agreed with Tonkovich's hard line on DUIs.
A person with a previously clean record might be eligible for diversion on a first offense, he said, which costs several hundred dollars, requires community service and could last six months to one year. If it's successfully completed, the DUI is purged from the offender's record.
"If somebody drives drunk, they're a potential killer as far as I'm concerned, and we've had it happen in this community." Trapp said.
However, Tonkovich said diversion was not an option if someone had previous alcohol convictions.
"These are not cases in which I am sympathetic to the offender," Tonkovich said. "My job is to be fair, but personally and professionally I have seen too many senseless losses from drinking and driving. If you have an MIP (minor in possession charge) on your record and then come here and get a DUL there's no chance of diversion."
If diversion is not an option, the case goes to court. Even if diversion is ordered, the driver is still responsible for court costs, fines, an alcohol evaluation and treatment. If convicted, the fine for a first DUI is $200 to $500. On a second DUI conviction,

Moving out can be a hassle for student-housing residents

By Cynthia Malakasis
As the end of the semester and finals approach, so does the imminence of moving out. And although this weighs on the minds of many students, it can be a particular hassle for those in student housing.
Students who live either in residence or scholarship halls must leave their rooms by 11 p.m. on the last day of finals, Wednesday, May 16, according to Department of Student Housing regulations.
"It's kind of obnoxious," said Carrie Eschmann, Topeka freshman.
Eschmann said she had two finals on May 16. To move out that same day, the Hashinger Hall resident said she would have to either prepare beforehand by sacrificing study time, or cram in all her packing after her finals.
"I understand they need people to get out of the dorms, but maybe they could give us an extra day," she said.
Eschmann said she owned almost everything in her room.
and she would have to pack all her belongings in her car.
"You run the risk of somebody breaking into the vehicle and removing something of value," he said.
Sgt. Troy Mallen, KU Public Safety officer, said this wasn't always the best idea.
Mailen encouraged residents to pack and leave the same day. But if they had to store things in a car overnight, he said to make sure valuable items were in the trunk
Similar incidents had occurred in the past, he said.
and out of sight.
"The same logic plays yearround," he said. "It's the same common-sense type of approach."
Eschmann, however, said she didn't think leaving things in her car overnight presented any danger.
"I leave stuff in my car yearround, and no one has messed with it." she said.
But Cecilia Manchini, Watkins Scholarship Hall resident and Asuncion, Paraguay, sophomore, said moving out was worse for international students because
"It's a pain," she said. "I hate it.

"Most of our students are able and want to be packed prior to the end of finals."
Manchini said she would have to store all her things at friends' houses.
they did not have a place to put their belongings.
because we have a final the same day and we have to worry about getting everything out."
Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing for residence life, said the department maintained a consistent policy.
"Most of our students are able and want to be packed prior to the end of finals," she said.
Robertson, however, encourages students who need extra time to talk with their complex directors and work out an alternative course of action.

Hoisington students return after tornado
HOISINGTON — Hoisington High School students are back in classes to finish out the year, but in four different locations because of the April 21 tornado that extensively damaged the school building.
The tornado killed one person and destroyed close to 200 houses in the central Kansas community, and the high school was among the many other buildings with major damage. Younger students were back in class on Monday in their school buildings, but the high school needs major repairs that will take months.
On Tuesday, the high school students reported back for the first time since the storm, and they will be attending classes in the middle school and three churches.

KC school board hires new superintendent
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City school board has voted to negotiate a contract with the administrator who took the helm of the troubled district after embattled superintendent Benjamin Demps resigned
U.S.military contact with China suspended
The school board has decided to skip a national search, voting 8-1 in closed session Tuesday night to negotiate a 14-month contract with Bernard Taylor, who had been serving as interim superintendent since Demp's departure.
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has suspended all contacts with China's military, apparently in response to the Chinese handling of the U.S. Navy spy plane incident. Officials said yesterday it was not clear how the action would affect efforts to get the plane back.
The suspension had been ordered Monday by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and took effect immediately, said Army Lt. Col. Steve Campbell, a Pentagon spokesman. It affects not just the U.S. military services but also the Defense Department's senior civilian leaders, he said.
Supermodel Niki Taylor injured in car crash
ATLANTA — Niki Taylor made her first million by 16, her megawatt smile gracing one magazine cover after another. Younger sister Krissy soon followed her to stardom.
But Krissy died in 1995, a victim of
what doctors would later call an unusual, undetected heart condition. Now Niki is fighting for her own life after an auto accident from which she appeared to emerge without a scratch. Doctors say she suffered severe liver damage.
Taylor, 26, a top model since the early 1990s, remained in critical condition yesterday at Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital. Her older sister, Joelle Bolline, said Taylor had opened her eyes, nodded and squeezed relatives' hands but was not yet able to speak.
Bush, GOP leaders arrive at budget deal
WASHINGTON — President Bush and Republican congressional leaders clinched a budget deal yesterday that embraces most of the president's tax and spending goals while underlining the ability of moderate lawmakers to limit his agenda.
Congressional leaders planned to push a budget for 2002 embodying the pact through the House and Senate tomorrow. Passage would help GOP leaders toward their goal of shipping Bush a major tax bill by Memorial Day.
Under the agreement, taxes will be cut by $1.35 trillion over the next 11 years — a reduction from the $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax cut that has been Bush's trademark issue since he was battling to win the GOP presidential nomination in 1999.
Napster use drops after format change
SAN FRANCISCO — Naspter use has plunged 41 percent since the online company added song-screening technology to comply with a federal court order, according to an Internet researcher.
Users downloaded 1.6 billion songs in April, a sharp decline from 2.8 billion in February, according to Matt Bailev, an analyst with Weboize.
Napster's programming allows users to share and trade songs stored on computers linked by the Internet. The new screening technology was put in place during an ongoing legal dispute with the recording industry.
WASHINGTON — President Bush offered few details in committing the United States to building a defense against ballistic missile attack, but said enough to stir critics and require him to tundra unsettled allies.
Bush's missile plan meeting opposition
he would like to meet soon with President Vladimir Putin to "look him in the eye" and persuade him such a system does not threaten Moscow.
"It's really hard to what he means and what his strategy really is," said Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del. Russia has wigorously opposed a U.S. missile defense, and Bush said
Hollywood writers continue to bargain
LOS ANGELES — Negotiations between Hollywood screenwriters and producers and studio heads ended yesterday morning without a new deal but with promises to resume talks, temporarily averting a strike that would halt TV and movie production.
The 17-hour bargaining session concluded about three hours after the writers' contract expired at 12:01 a.m. The contract was not extended, and both sides were expected back at bargaining table later yesterday.
Fears of a walkout have gripped the industry for months, but the writers guild has yet to call for a strike vote from its members.
Yahoo! limits adult sites to users' alarm and ire
SAN JOSE, Calif. — When Yahoo! Inc. got rid of the adult videos and DVDs on its shopping pages last month, the popular Internet site wasn't done wrestling with pornography.
During the last few weeks, Yahoo quietly has reconfigured its adult-themed online clubs, message boards and chat rooms, removing links to them and making them harder to find, members said. Many users believe the clubs will fail to attract new members and ultimately disappear altogether.
Those members say they feel betrayed, and have assembled Internet petitions with thousands of complaints.

EU president visits tense North Korea
PYONGYANG, North Korea — In North Korea's highest-level contact with the West in six months, the head of the European Union arrived yesterday to promote peace on the Korean peninsula.
Prime Minister Goeran Persson of Sweden, which holds the rotating European Union presidency, was to meet with Kim Jong Il, the reclusive leader of the totalitarian North.
The meeting comes at a time when efforts to promote the reconciliation of North and South Korea across the world's most heavily armed border are suffering setbacks.
New strains also have developed between the North and the United States, which helps defend the South with 37,000 American soldiers.

Ballots in mail for retake policy's fate
By Cassio Furtado
writer @ kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The fate of the proposed course retake policy is in the mail.
Rv Cássio Furtado
University governance will accept mail ballots for and against the policy from faculty members, student senators and staff members until 5 p.m. Monday.
University Senate, which includes about 1,400 faculty members, staff members, student senators and University administrators, failed to have a quorum at its meeting April 19, causing the mail ballots to be sent to all of the Senate's members.
One-fifth of the Senate needed to have been present in order to reach a decision at the time, but only about 20 professors and 50 student senators attended the meeting.
In early April, 115 members of
Senate signed a petition opposing the new rules. The petition forced the introduction of mall ballots in case enough members were not present at the Senate's meeting.
If the petition hadn't been introduced, the proposal could have been automatically passed to Provost David Shulenburger for final approval even with the lack of a quorum at the Senate's meeting.
The proposed course retake policy would allow students to retake courses without the original grades — if they were Ds or Fs
— being figured into their grade point averages. However, if a student earned an A, B or C and opted to retake a course, an average of the new and old grade would factor into the grade point average.
The proposal, which the University Senate Executive Committee approved, was also approved by University Council
on March 8.
Michael Roessler, graduate senator, said student senators were trying to contact faculty members they knew were favorable to the policy and urging them to vote.
"I'm not super optimistic," he said. "But we will give it a shot."
Roessler, Webster Groves, Mo. graduate student, said senators weren't encouraged about the outcome of the vote.
Bernard Hirsch, associate professor of English, said faculty members weren't doing anything to encourage members of University Senate to vote.
He said he also couldn't predict an outcome of the vote because the issue was controversial.
"They can decide for themselves." Hirsch said.
"You never know what people can do on a secret ballot," Hirsch said. "It's a tosse up."

ON THE RECORD
A KU staff member reported damage to a racquetball-court wall at Robinson Center between 9 p.m. April 24 and 8:05 p.m. Friday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The wall was scraped and marked with paint, which will cost $410 to repair.
A car struck a stopped car at 11th and Indiana Streets at 3:45 p.m. Friday, the KU Public Safety Office said. A car was slowing near a stop sign when it bumped the car ahead, causing slight damage to that car's rear bumper. The damage was estimated at less than $500. The driver was cited for inattentive driving.
A car damaged two cars and fled the scene between 7:45 and 8:35 p.m. Saturday, the KU Public Safety Office said. A car was traveling west on Sunnyside Avenue when it crushed into the other lane and struck a parked car's left rear bumper. The impact bumped the parked car against an adjacent parked car. Damages were not listed.

Section A · Page 3
Drunk drivers pay long-lasting social, financial costs
Continued from page 1A
the fine increases to $500 to $1,000.
a third DUI, a felony, starts at $1,000.
I'll just use the text as it is. No images or additional content to describe.
The Breathalyzer measures the driver's breath-alcohol concentration. In the state of Kansas, a person is considered legally drunk if their BAC is .08 or above for drivers 21 or over. Of the 520 DUIs in Lawrence in 2000, 21 percent of them went to KU students.
In addition to the fine, the driver has to get an alcohol evaluation and follow its recommendations. The evaluation is $125, and treatment can cost from $100 to $1,000, depending on how intensive it is, said Porter, city prosecutor.
Judge Michael Malone said most defendants charged with DUI opted to plead guilty rather than go to trial.
Doing him the sentence is not up to judges, Malone said. They have to impose Kansas' mandatory penalties, which require a first-time offender to spend 48 consecutive hours in jail or perform 100 hours of community service.
"There’solenience," said Porter, the city prosecutor. "It’s pretty much controlled. You can’t plea-bargain down."
A DUI is not a charge that can be reduced in the courtroom.
Choosing between jail or almost three weeks of community service is difficult, said Lambert, who got his DUI on Super Bowl Sunday. He chose jail, spending a five-day sentence there during the summer.
Micah, a KU freshman, said two days in jail was horrible.
"Youhavenorights,basically. You're detained. You have no freedom."
Lambert spent his time watching TV and playing cards, he said, but the experience depressed him enough that he never wants to go back.
"The first thing I did when I got out of jail was sit there and look at the sky because it was the first time I didn't take it for granted." Lambert said.
The cost that keeps costing: insurance
Samuel D. Villeareal, an agent with Miller Insurance, estimated that the majority of his company's clients with DJUs were between 19 and 32 years old.
Miller Insurance, 1424 W. 23rd St., advertises "We specialize in drivers with a not-so-perfect record," and the company won't turn away a DUI offender, Villeareal said. But the costs are much higher for drivers with DUI convictions.
"It can get pretty expensive, and they pay it because no other companies will take them," he said. "They say they're going to go look somewhere else, but they tend to come back two days later and ask, 'What was that rate?'
Kermit Cottrell, Allstate insurance agent, said drivers with DUIs usually had to be switched to a higher risk company because many insurance companies would not insure high-risk drivers.
"Automatically, going from one company to the next you could see your rates double just like that," Cottrell said.
"A DUI is the worst thing that can appear on your driving record as far as an insurance company goes, and there is no excuse." Cottrell said.
A DUI can cost more for drivers under 25 than it does for their older counterparts because young drivers already pay a higher rate.
Gay now pays $128 each month just for liability coverage on his 1985 Dodge pick-up truck, which he said was crazy for a vehicle that old. With the 50 percent hike in his insurance rates, he said he couldn't even consider collision or comprehensive coverage.
the threat to a DUI is the threat to the offender's career, Tonkovich, the district attorney, said she told students.
"A lot of times, the threat of jail is not a real deterrent," Tonkovic said. "I try to emphasize the practical penalties, like the costs, getting into graduate school, law school, being licensed by a state board to be a teacher or doctor. Even if you have somebody foot the bill, you're the one who has to go through a class or treatment or inpatient treatment. It's your time and energy spent to resolve the conviction.
"And this isn't taking into consideration if there is an injury or fatality involved. If you have caused somebody permanent injury, that is something you have to live with for the rest of your life."
SherifTrappa said a DUI conviction or even a diversion would make it hard for a person to become a law enforcement officer.
A DUI offender also has to disclose the conviction to apply to law school or take the bar exam. Tonkovich said.
Rachel Reitz, director of admissions for the University's law school, said a single DUI on an applicant's record would not necessarily keep that person out of law school, but a pattern of alcohol offenses would.
"Wet try to avoid anyone who wouldn't be admitted to the bar," she said.
If the school has to choose between two similar candidates and one has a DUI, the candidate with the clean record would be admitted, she said.
Moving to another state to start a career does not mean the DUI stays behind. A conviction in one state follows a person to any other state, Tranp said.
"Wherever you go, it's going to be there with you," Trapp said. "If you get a DUI in Kansas and you're from Connecticut, Kansas will notify Connecticut, and Connecticut will suspend your license."
Walking the line is a test for officers to measure a potential drunk driver's balance and coordination, but it also requires the driver to carefully remember the instructions given by the officer administering the test. It's estimated that DUI offenders drink drunk 200 to 2,000 times before they are arrested the first time
Karl, a law student graduating this month who was busted for a DUI last spring, said, "The worst thing about it is coming to the realization that you got it and that it sticks with you." He asked that his real name be withheld over concerns that law firms he has applied to would learn about his conviction.
The hidden costs
For some drivers, the notoriously and inconveniences of a DUI add up to more than the dollar costs.
John, a senior, said he had ridden his bike everywhere since he got his DUI last spring.
"It might not be a big deal to you, but it'sa big deal to me," he said, asking that his name not be used.
He said having to ride his bike was cold in the winter, limited where he could work, and made it difficult to start relationships with women because he didn't have transportation for dates.
Micah, a freshman who asked that his real name not be used, is also riding a bike because of his license suspension. He said, "It's not as easy to ask somebody to go on a date." Would you like to go for a bike ride? Do you mind driving?"
Having a car is necessary for more than just dates, said Brian, a former KU student who lost his license for one year after chugging beers at his fraternity. He rides a bus to school.
"I'm still paying the price," Brian said. "I can't go anywhere I want, and I basically live other people's lives. Whatever other people are doing is what I'll be doing because I don't have a car."
Rick, a senior who got a DUI last January, said having to rearrange his schedule around alcohol counseling was a hassle he hadn't expected.
He had to go through two stages—the intensive eight-week stage with all the classes, then aftercare for 10 weeks.
"It was three hours a night for three nights a week," he said.
Counseling also forced him to cut
down his work hours that he needed to repay his parents for the DUI costs.
Suffice would be even higher under legislation Kansas is considering. Sherif Trapp said.
Under the current law, a person with a previous DUI is considered a first-time offender as long as his DUI was more than five years ago. The proposed bill would classify someone as a first-time offender only if he had never had a DUI.
The minimum fine would increase to $500 for $250 for a first offense, and the license reinstitution fee would increase to $200 from $50. For second and third offenses, the bill suggests even tougher penalties.
"It seems the current penalties haven't convinced people to moderate their drinking." Trapp said. "Perhaps it's going to have to get to the point where it's plain not worth it to take the chance."
However, Malone, who has served as a judge in Douglas County for 19 years, said the proposed penalties were too harsh and misdirected.
Malone said he remembered when it was not uncommon to see a person driving down the road with a beer in hand. That person would never have seen jail time when Malone first began judging.
Now the scales have been adjusted too far in the other direction, he said.
"It makes more sense to have an interlock device than to put money in the state coffers," he said. "I would like to see something a little more
Malone would prefer that fines go toward purchasing an ignition interlock device for an offender's vehicle, which would prevent it from being started if the driver was intoxicated. In the current system, only offenders with two or more DUI convictions have to buy the device. Malone prefers the interlock device to bigger fines because it actually keeps drunk people from driving and endangering others.
creative than a little more harsh."
creative than a little more harsh." He said he was concerned that locking people away or taking away their transportation created a vicious cycle in which they lost their job because of the lack of transportation, fell further into despair and turned to drinking once more.
Some of KU's DUI offenders turned their lives around after their convictions.
A fresh start
Rick, the senior who endured intensive treatment, said his DUI had been a turning point.
"Your eyes kind of open up when you're exposed to something like this — how many people drive without getting caught and how long your behavior has gone on without being put in check," he said. "It was a blessing in disguise—the beginning of starting over. It really changed my life."
Gay said his DUI realigned his thinking. He opted to leave Lawrence and the drinking lifestyle he had here behind.
Rick Frydman, local defense attorney, said one of the practical lessons his clients learned from their experiences was that it was cheaper to take a cab or have a designated driver if they felt buzzed.
Micah, the freshman who has problems getting dates on his bike, said he. too, changed his entire lifestyle.
"I used to drink three to 10 beers at a time about eight times a month. Now I drink maybe once a month with a meal," he said.
Brian, who now lives out of state, said he had to change his habits so he wouldn't be tempted to drink.
"You just try and form a pattern that leads you away from the situation that you got led into," he said. "I'm better for it. I'm more knowledgeable about life, not just about drinking."
DUI statistics
Edited by Melissa Cooley
In 1998,42 percent of all alcohol-related fatalities involved a drinking driver less than 26 years old.
About two in every five Kansans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash sometime in their lives.
More than one million people are arrested annually for drunk driving. It's estimated that DUI offenders drive drunk 200 to 2,000 times before they are arrested the first time.
In 1998, 79 people died in alcohol-related crashes on Kansas roadways.
Alcohol-related highway crashes are the leading cause of death for adolescents and young adults in the United States.
The 15,786 fatalities in alcohol-related crashes during 1999 represent an average of one alcohol-related fatality every 33 minutes. About one person was injured every two minutes.

Graduation gifts University myths and farewells
I like many graduates, it's hard for me to believe that my five-year stay in
believe that my five-year stay in Lawrence is coming to an end. Looking back on what some say will have been the best years of our lives, I can state that the University of Kansas and Lawrence have both made a huge impact on all corners of my life. I feel fortunate to have had the experiences in Lawrence I did and to have met so many interesting people.
I also feel fortunate to have this space in the Kanson to offer some public thank-yous and give some final words of wisdom to students.
First, any student on the verge of graduation knows that graduating means getting gifts. Whether money or material, the gifts are definitely tokens of the giver's love and best wishes.
Thus, I feel it is only fitting for me to give back to some at the University who made a huge difference in my education and lifestyle. In no particular order:
To the Parking
Department: Individual
thank you notes, wrapped
in pretty pink envelopes.
P. K. Bhatkar
To The Lazer: Lessons from the guys at KJHK and KANU. They'll show you how it's done.
Ben tatar
columnist
ogionian.kansan.org
To Snow Hall: Glade air freshener. Lots of it.
To Ben Walker: A pitch-back machine and the Tom Emmski baseball training video for kids. (Ben, I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted; it was too hard to wrap dignity).
To Chancellor Hemenway: A list of possible graduation speakers (other than yourself and the provost).
To Bob Frederick; The gift of foresight.
(Sorry, but I couldn't find the game Risk.)
To Roy Williams: A three-city tour every
To Roy Williams: A three-city tour every March.
To alumini/donors/Allen Fieldhouse season-ticket holder: Electroshock therapy.
To the Enrollment Center: Brand-new Commodore 64s.
My next order of business is, unfortunately, one of academic uncertainty or doubt: I know loads about my field of study yet remember nothing from classes that were supposed to make me well rounded.
To 23rd Street: A bypass.
To 20th street Apt.
To alumni/donors/Allen Fieldhouse sea
make me work so why is it that with five years' worth of classes behind me, I still don't understand why the left-turn arrow at 15th and Iowa streets lasts for three seconds? Why does the Kinko's on Massachusetts Street have disco lights? Does anyone who enters Furr's Cafeteria ever come out? And what's the deal with that girl on the Mr. Gatti's commercial?
I may die never knowing the answers to life's toughest questions.
After five years on the same campus, one tends to become an "old wise man," though it makes one realize how naive one may have been as an incoming freshman. For this reason, I hope to clear up some puzzling campus issues for younger generations and hope that it will be passed down to freshmen for years to come.
These are just some of what there is to learn at the University; you find the rest:
Myth: It is bad luck to walk under the Campanile before graduation.
Truth: It is bad luck to be on or near the football team.
Truth: Dr. Dan is a lying punk.
Myth: Dr. Dan at University Book Shop care about students and their school expenses.
Myth: The campus masturbator is a big fan of Puffs Plus.
Truth: The campus masturbator is a big fan of Coke.
Myth: Handing out hot dogs will make people vote for you.
Truth: Handing out hot dogs will make people eat hot dogs
Myth: College is about the sharing and exchanging of ideas.
**truth:** College is about the sharing and exchanging of ideas...and then finding out whose ideas are right.
I could end the way most graduation speeches do by proudly stating how we have climbed up a ladder to find we are at the bottom of a new ladder, but that's cliche and boring. I could say "make the University proud" or "make your parents proud," but that's vague and pride is relative. (Ben Walker, take note.)
Instead, TI simply give我 farewells, a sincere thank you, and urge graduates to do what makes them happiest - other than drink.
tell happiest - other than drumm Cheers!

Pass:
Frederick's resignation. Athletics director announces his resignation after 14 years on the job so he can teach in the School of Education. If only the school offered a class on mismanaging an athletics program, then he'd be great for it.
Emissions testing clinic. Environmental group sponsors clinic to test peoples' cars and teach passbyrs a little about pollutants. Now we need a program to test emissions coming from KU on Wheels buses, which don't comply with federal emissions rules. Cough, cough.
Fail:
Chancellor Hemenway. Thousands of students climb dangerous crumbling steps every day, but those will just have to wait. Apparently, the steps to the Outlook — the chancellor's posh house — are higher on the repair priority list. How about "repairing" that repignant monstrosity we call Wescoe Hall?
U. S. Department of Defense. Just as tensions between the United States and China were beginning to ease, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld escalates them by halting all military contacts with China. Of course, such tactics were popular in our relations with the U.S.S.R. in the 1950s, too.

Regulating casinos not a sure bet to curb gambling
casino near Lawrence? Cool!
A casino near Lawrence: Cool Some of you might remember last semester's article about the Delaware Tribe of Native Americans, of Bartlesville, Okla., wanting to build a casino in northeast Lawrence.
Anyway, the developers have taken their proposal on to nearby Tonganoxie. If they move forward with their idea, the city would first vote on it, then the state. If all that happens, and it probably will, my guess is the casino would be open in two to three years.
Something that should not be an issue, but probably will is the effect on students and Native Americans.
Students should have just as much responsibility for their money as anybody else. And if I win $300 at the blackjack tables, I'll take that from the Native Americans running the casino. I don't discriminate.

Last summer, I worked at Lakeside Casino in southern Iowa, making change. My most common task was
breaking a slot player's $100 bill into five twenties, so he or she could then put all five bills into a machine. Exciting job, huh?
John
Audlehelm
columnist
I learned that casinos are effective and efficient machines that have one purpose — to separate you from your money. They are designed to overwhelm your senses with cigarette smoke, flashing lights, alcohol and the lure of easy money. Many people also contend that casinos foster crime, gambling addictions, economic problems and immorality. They may be right.
But those are all arguments against gambling, not for making it illegal. What's the difference? I'm glad you asked.
If we make the existence of casinos a legislative issue or an issue to be decided by referendum (as it was in Iowa), we leave casinos at the mercy of the majority. But if we're going to do whatever the majority wants, then why bother having laws at all?
Laws affect only people who aren't smart enough or rich enough to get around them. When casinos came to Kansas City, Mo., lawmakers decided that they would try to legislate them out of existence with a requirement that casinos be on riverboats.
I oppose casino regulation on philosophical grounds. I would guess that the people who are against gambling would be against casino regulation on utilitarian grounds. Why? Because casino regulation just doesn't work.
The law crowded out of the market anybody who wanted to open a casino but was neither rich enough to build a floating casino nor smart enough to figure out that the law did not require the riverboats to go anywhere.
The people who want to legislate casinos out of existence seem to think that the law is the only way to achieve their objective. The law can't change people. It can't stop gambling.
This law, supposedly designed to prevent gam bling, left the market open to an even smaller, richer group of casino owners who are that much better at exploiting would-be gamblers. Ironic. huh?
There are two ways to put casinos out of business. The first is not to go to them. If everybody in America got up tomorrow morning and decided not to gamble, every casino would be out of business by tomorow night.
The second way to put casinos out of business is to win some money and leave. This is tricky, but I assure you, it can be done.
But the first rule of casinos, and all gambling for that matter, is this: Don't gamble with what you can't afford to lose. If we all follow that rule, we'll be OK, without the artificial help of the law and the unjust regulation of private businesses.

Editorial
No-test policy needs to be more flexible
The prohibition against tests this week should make room for students' needs.
The University of Kansas has a firm policy mandating that finals must be given during finals period. Although the intention of this is to benefit students, the University needs to ensure that the policy does indeed help students and not hurt them.
The policy is in place to make sure students do not have multiple tests crammed into the final few days of class but instead have time to prepare for their finals during finals week. It also prevents professors from scheduling their finals before finals period to start their summer vacations early.
Although the motive behind this policy is good and does help students, it must not be so rigid that it harms students. Students sometimes find themselves in situations that require them to leave campus before the finals period has ended. Some students find jobs or internships that start before the end of finals, while others may have rigid travel arrangements that make it difficult to take finals when scheduled.
With this in mind, it is important that the policy is flexible enough to allow students not to be hindered by a policy that is in place to help them.
Professors need to be flexible, even if it may slightly inconvenience them to make a separate exam. Educational experiences during college do not begin and end in the classroom, and allowances for things that go beyond school should be weighed in certain situations.
Professors also need to follow the policy. Not all do, as many students do have tests in the week before finals. Students who have multiple tests right before finals period are overloaded and have less of a chance at success.
The policy as a whole is sound. It simply needs to allow for individual students to take finals outside of the finals period, allowing them to pursue opportunities that may occur during the weeks of finals.

Independence customs differ
Some international students used to living with parents
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Swati Chintalapati had never written a check before she came to the United States because she didn't need to. The India native lived with her parents who took care of bills and other necessi-
other necessi ties
She went to school, made good marks and enjoyed spending her monthly pocket money.

The Bombay, India, sophomore is one of many international students
whose native country believes young people should live at home until marriage. American students usually gain their independence at 18 when they move out of the house and begin attending college away from home.
Many international students attend universities in their hometowns. They often live with their parents for both cultural and economic reasons.
Although Chintalapati has enjoyed both living by herself and with her family, she said she was held accountable for her expenses in America. She had to pay the rent, utilities and take care of her visa status.
"You are responsible for everything," she said. "At home, my parents took care of things. I have enjoyed it both ways."
Chintalapati has never heard of young people in Bombay moving out of their parents' house to get an apartment, because renting was quite expensive in Bombay. But the social stigma probably prevented more peo-

people from moving out than economics. She said people would talk and speculate what had caused the young person to move out of his parents' home.
Ramiro Moreno, Asunción, Paraguay, junior, agreed both economics and culture played a part in many people's decisions to stay at home. He lived at home until he was 24 and originally chose to stay in his hometown and attend the university there. He said it allowed him the freedom to focus on school instead of paying the bills.
"it's not a rule, and it's been changing the last few years," Moreno said.
"People are becoming more liberal. They are wanting their independence."
He said if he had a well-paying job, he would have thought about moving out earlier. Although economics did play a role, he said he liked staying at home because his parents provided him with support, which made life easier. They took care of the bills, and the maids took care of the other nagging necessities.
"I think it's good to stay," he said. "You are so young. You need your parents' advice."
While children in most countries live with their families until marriage, it is much different in America. Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, director of the freshman-sophomore advising center, has spent the last two decades working with colleges students, and said going to college and leaving home was a rite of passage for young people. —Filled by the Author Corday

"We see it as players, the coaches see it as coaches," she said. "But he looks at it as an outsider and helps give us a new perspective on things."
Among the mental tools Thompson has taught the team, triggers are the most popular.
triggers aren't a routine, but they're things we can do to clear our minds," Urquhart said. "It helps you forget what you just did and concentrate on the next play."
Each player has developed her own trigger.
Some players say words or phrases quietly to themselves. Garvey's trigger is walking in a small circle after every pitch, going through game situations in her mind.
"It just helps me remember what I'm focusing on and clear my mind of everything else," she said.
Hanson sweeps the ground in front of her, as if to wipe a clean slate.
The players have also learned to control their emotions.
A lot of people think you have to work to get psyched-up before competing." Thompson said. "In reality, you often need to learn to relax and become less psyched-up than you are."
Relaxation has become a major part of the players' routines.
"Sometimes I'll tense up my whole body," Hanson said. "Then slowly relax. It really helps."
In addition to breathing techniques, the players have learned to imagine their bodies as a full glass of

water. Then, through an imaginary spigot in their feet, they are completely drained.
"It sounds stupid." Garvey said.
"But it really works."
The entire plan seems to have worked as the 'Hawks have experienced the turnaround they hoped for.
The team's batting average has gone from .228 a year ago to .287 this season. With at least five games
remaining, the 'Hawks have already scored nearly 50 more runs than a year ago. They've also broken the school record for home runs.
How much credit does Thompson deserve for the turnaround?
"There's no way of knowing when they use the skills we've worked on," Thompson said. "But seeing them in certain situations, you can see their mental focus. Whether that's a function of my working with them or their natural abilities, it doesn't matter. All that matters is they've gotten there."
Garvey, the team's captain, is grateful for the help.
"We needed someone to pull us together and make us realize that we could do it," she said. "He's been able to help us do that."

made comments that were derogatory toward homosexuals after a game last Saturday against the Giants. Commissioner Bud Selig called
Tavarez's comments "reprehensible" and said yesterday he would meet with Tavarez personally to discuss his behavior. Selig said, however, he was satisfied with the Cubs' disciplinary measures and would take no further punitive action.
The amount of the fine was undisclosed, but the money will go toward charitable organizations with input from the Giants.

their application for relocation to Memphis, Tenn., yesterday.
Hornets co-owner George Shinn said the
fan turnout for Friday night's Game 3 against the Heat played a part in his decision. A capacity crowd of 22,283 saw the Hornets win 94-79.
The Hornets signed a 25-year lease Monday on the new arena, which the city required them to do before they would ask the board of elections to place the referendum on the ballot.

Sports season wrapping up after a wild, indelible ride
The roller coaster that was the 2000- 2001 Kansas sports season is finally coasting to an end.
Pass the Tums.
Pass the Truns.
We've seen highlights, like a Sweet 16 appearance and a ridiculous winning streak on the softball diamond. And — for darn sure — we've seen plenty of lowlights, such as the football team's loss to Southern Methodist and the slicing of two teams from the Athletic Department's budget.
Department's advice.
In fact, this school year was probably the most eventful year in the history of Jayhawk athletics, and the aftershocks of this season will be felt for seasons to come. This year showed us pretty much every side of sports. In fact, everything I need to know about Kansas athletics, I learned from this school year. Such as:
■ Forget about halfback option passes or double reverses. The snap from center to punter is absolutely the most difficult play in football. Ever.
■ Forget about the Sweet 16: The best feeling in the world was watching the Jayhawk football team silence Faurot Field by slaughtering Missouri. 38-17.
most difficult play in football. Ever.
■ SMU was the best team in college
football last season in defending the
center-to-punter snap.
Still, Memorial Stadium will never be full of Jayhawk fans for a home football game. Kansas fans are too fair-weathered to even be considered average fans, much less good ones. Perhaps Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams could schedule an "I'm staying" announcement during every home football game to make the fans show up.

And speaking of Williams' announcement, it was absolutely the most ridiculous news story I've ever been a part of. I'm sure Williams agrees.
Speaking of Jayhawk basketball fans, they deserve a stronger home non-conference schedule than what they're seen in recent years. On the bright side, I got in some pretty good naps while watching Kansas blow out "Who Cares? State" and "I've Never Heard of 'Em University."
- Something also tells me that Williams did the best coaching job of his career last season. Never before had any of his teams overcome so much adversity.
But we still shouldn't talk about that Sweet 16 appearance as if it were the greatest Jayhawk basketball memory of the last five years (even if it was). Kansas fans should expect to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
The best coaches at this school are two people most Kansas followers have never heard of — volleyball coach Ray Bechard and softball coach Tracy Bunge.
My old townhouse made a great fire starter. And so did my ESPN internship application.
If you thought this year's women's basketball season was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. We'll see how the Jayhawks respond next year without seniors Brooke Reves, Jennifer Jackson and Jaclyn Johnson around to carry them.
Kansas will never field a competitive baseball team. It's just the nature of college baseball, and it's not Bobby Randall's fault.
Rigg is a Greenwood Village, Colo. junior in Broadcast News.
Still, you can't help but get the feeling that the new Athletics Director won't be as understanding. The search process for Bob Frederick's successor will certainly be a long and wild ride, culminating with the hiring of somebody that we've never heard of.
- wild rides are what sports are all about.

Playing those mind games
Sports psychologist helps softball team find winning ways
By Brent Briggeman sports@kansan.com
Kansas writer/sportwriter
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge needed a blueprint.
She had to find a way to turn virtually the same group that had finished 5-13 in the Big 12 Conference last season into winners this season. The talent was in place, but she needed a plan to unleash the potential.
"We knew we needed to work on the mental aspect of the game as much as the physical." Bunge said.
She didn't want to rely on speeches or motivational gimmicks, she wanted an actual game plan to help the team's mental development.
Bunge called sports psychologist Mark Thompson, an instructor in the Health, Sports and Exercise Science Department, fpr.help.
It's paid off. The Jayhawks are seven games above .500 this season, compared to two games below .500 last season. They are in third place in the conference with a 9-6 record.
The first step of the plan involved building team unity.
After Christmas, the team left for a retreat. The players, coaches and Thompson spent a night at an old cabin south of Lawrence. The players brought clips of movies that described their on-field personalities as well as keepsakes from home.
As a transfer from Syracuse, first baseman Leah Hanson said the trip helped her get to know her new teammates.
"I had known some of them before, but this really helped us to bond as a team."
said Hanson, a sophomore from Olathe.
The team spent the night talking and setting goals. They even wrote a mission statement: "Believe with passion and perseverance."
The plan was starting to take shape.
The plan was starting to come.
"It means everything to know that you aren't going to have to do every thing by yourself," said Erin Garvey, the team's
only senior. "We knew after that night that we would have each other's backs and everyone were working toward the same goal."
Seeing the progress in the preseason,
Bunge asked Thompson to continue working
with the team throughout the season.
He meets with players individually, but works with the whole team at least once a
week. Rather than taking ground balls and running, the team uses the time performing visualization drills, working on mind games and talking.
"It's still practice," Bunge said. "It's just as important as anything else we do."

took a 2.0 lead into the fourth inning.
But a four-run Kansas fourth inning, sparked by sophomore infielder Casey Spanish's two-run home run, erased Park's early lead and started a string of eight unanswered runs in the Jayhawks' 8-2 victory.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said some external factors contributed to the Jayhawks' slow start.
"I could tell in batting practice that we weren't ready," Randall said. "It took

Spanish broke out of a month-long slump by going 3-for-4 with his second homer of the season and two RBI against the Pirates. Spanish also added two solid singles.
"I've been in a slump for about the last month, and I was just trying to figure out what to do." Spanish said. "In the last week or two, I've been starting to get it back and get the looseness back. It feels great to hit the ball hard like I know I can."

"When you get rare chances at the plate like I do, you want to get all you can out of that attbat," Wheeler said. "The season's almost over, and I'm going to help the team as much as I can."
Kansas' victory last night was a team effort in every sense of the word. Each Jayhawk starter collected at least one hit, and five Jayhawk pitchers combined and limited the Pirates to two runs on eight hits.
Kansas (21-29), but surrendered two runs in the first two innings. Smart lasted only 1 2/3 innings before junior Justin Wilcher entered the game and threw three innings of scoreless relief against Park (24-14). Wilcher recorded his third victory of the season in relief as three more Kansas relievers sealed the win.
Freshman Chris Smart started for
"I thought we gave them a couple of runs in the first two innings," Randall said. "But after that, Justin Wilcher, Jeff Davis, Dan Olson and Randy Strann held the score down and gave us a chance to win."

Rowing captains preparing for honors banquet
Practicing on the Kansas River, going to class and hiring a caterer all are part of a day's work for the Kansas rowing team's captains.
The team's sixth annual banquet, which honors accomplishments during the season, is tomorrow at the Holidome. Senior captains Ali Brox, Shannon Gribbin, Heather Muir and Jen Page are in charge of much of the event's organization.
Muir said the captains split duties with the coaches. Some of the preparation includes reserving a hotel convention room, sending out invitations, getting coaches' gifts, decorating, and gathering clips and pictures for a team highlight video.
Although the organization has taken more work than she thought, Muir said the combination of rowing and the upcoming banquet had been fine.
we haven't had a lot of problems," Muir said. "I was really proud of us for being so organized."
The most tedious job has been stuffing envelopes, but it could have been worse.
The captains sent out 600 envelopes to booster club members, family and friends. Assistant coach Heather Galvin said she expected around 200 people for the event.
"We didn't have to lick them, just had to stuff." Brox said.
"I think they're doing a pretty good job," Galvin said about the captains. "I think it gets a little better each year. It comes at a really busy time for us."
The Jayhawks season isn't quite finished. Kansas competes at the Central Rowing Championships May 12-13 in Oak Ridge, Tenn. If the Jayhawks compete well there, they advance to the NCAA Championships May 24-26 in Gainesville, Ga.
Galvin said there had been some discussion in the past of moving the banquet to the fall so accomplishments at Centrals and possibly NCAAs could be recognized. Doing this, though, would leave out a senior class the first year of the change. At this point, the team prefers the banquet at the season's end.

Local artists struggle to make a living in Lawrence
By Amanda Begin
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
James Ray Weber sits in a booth at Wheat Fields Bakery, sipping Dr Pepper through a straw and smiling as he reflects on his greatest strengths.
James is a longtime Lawrence actor, well known for his comedic timing. He hopes his ad-lib talents will propel him into the Chicago theater scene — someday.
"I'm not tall, I'm not pretty, and I'm not a woman with big boobs," he said. "I'm a side-kick. Give me a script and three hours, and I'll make it funny."
For now, he continues his three-year tenure as manager of Wheat Fields Bakery. His audience is small — co-workers and customers who pay less attention to his snappy wit than to the turkey sandwich on wheat they are served — but paying rent and monthly bills is a larger issue.
Lawrence is bursting with hidden artistic talent like his. It's a city with a colony of underground painters, musicians, comedians, dancers, writers and actors. Although many aspire to see their work on stages, in books and in galleries, for now they have to work day jobs to make ends meet. The only certainty is that the landlord will have his due.
"She's really sad about it, but she's really grounded in her hometown." James said.
James, 31, whom friends and co-workers know as Jamie, said he thought his days spent working behind a glass display counter were numbered. He's doing what he can to break into the business, including paying $600 for publicity photos.
When he makes his move to Chicago, he said he would change his first name to Jackson, his father's name, and would leave his lonetime girlfriend behind.
He will intern in a Chicago theater if his application is accepted.

James said his ideal job would be reprising the role on Late Night With Conan O'Brien that former sidekick Andy Richter recently abandoned.
James recently performed at Liberty Hall
with another O'Brien — friend Michael O'Brien, Winnetka, Ill., junior. The show was a send-off for the cast, who drove a van to Washington, D.C. to perform O'Brien's play. Battles, at the Kennedy Center.
THEATRE OF TULSA
A one-act farce about Hugh Hefner's life prior to founding *Playboy magazine*, *Bunnies stars James as, of course, Hefner's sidekick*.
The co-production of Card Table Theatre and English Alternative Theatre (local acting troupes to which James belongs), Bunnies won the invitation after performing the play in January at the Kennedy Center/American College Theater Festival.
When he's not performing or working, he enjoys performances of the Prairie Wind Dancers, featuring fellow underground artists like Jennifer Wilson.
Happy feet, devoted dancer
Jennifer and six other women saunter' onstage, dragging their bare feet with every step—their white vinyl dresses a stark contrast to the brown curtains and tile dance floor. Silently, the women set candles at corners of the dark stage and blow them out one by one in the routine that Jennifer choreographed.
A devotion to dancing brought Jennifer, 25, back to Lawrence from Scotland, where with only a backpack and a little bit of money, she spent a year "traveling, making friends and living day by day."
"We dance together about 10 hours a week," Jennifer said. "The group is like a family. But I love working with people and reaching out in the community. Dancing is my little contribution."
ine prospect of dancing professionally lured her home, though, and she returned to Lawrence to dance.
Last February, she took a job as a desk assistant at the Lawrence Arts Center and she joined the Prairie Wind Dancers.
She teaches junior high dance classes at the Arts Center, waitresses at Paradise Cafe and spends a few hours each week at a halfway house teaching women simple dance steps.
Jennifer said someday, she'll audition for a bigger company.
Unlike many dancers from other groups, Jennifer collects a paycheck from the Arts Center every month for dancing.
Many paintings by local artists hang on the walls of the Bourgeois Pig, where Creed Shepard, a writer, sits at a table, listening to a CD through headphones and reading a book about a French poet.
"I'd love to have some nice things and feel like an adult," Jennifer said. "I'd just like to support other Lawrence artists."
Eventually, with more money and free time, Jennifer would like to buy furniture and local art. *
A writer's Creed
Seated in his usual corner, Creed is surrounded by open notebooks and a cloud of smoke that dissipates only when he pauses to light another cigarette. A poet, playwright and essayist, Creed, 23, has been writing since he was 10.
His stories are crowded with tragedy, fantasy and imagination, and involve laboratories, mannequins and playhouses.
"I'm not tall, I'm not pretty and I'm not a woman with big boobs. I'm a sidekick. Give me a script and three hours, and I'll make it funny."
James Ray Weber Comedic actor and Lawrence resident
rns latest works in progress are an analytical piece about Aristotle's writing and a play about the netherworld.
Creed is intrigued by spaces between words. He believes silence says as much as words. He quotes great poets and says "writing is a process, a grand metaphor for everything."
but writing also requires that Creed eat, sleep and make a living. So he works as a bookkeeper at the Eldridge Hotel, where he earns $11 an hour. That buys food and cigarettes and pays bills.
Creed lives in a self-described "bungalow" on Florida Street. He travels by bicycle, sleeps on the couch and has a cabinet for his clothes. His room has a bare corner for his Fender Stratocaster guitar and a pile of clothes on the floor.
He said he was once close to accepting a conventional job, "but turned back."
"I might as well have joined a monastery," he said.
For now, his afternoons are spent in a corner of the Bourgeois Pig filling notebooks and chatting with the Tabletop poets, a society of Lawrence writers who meet weekly to read stories and poems.
While Creeed tells of life in words, his friend Joshua Upshaw portrays life with pen, paint brushes, watercolors and crayons.
Creative cartoonist
Joshua, 33, walks past the bar of the Paradise Cafe carrying a plastic bin of dirty dishes. Dressed in a Cafe T-shirt, worn Levi's and black Converse tennis shoes, he disappears around a wall where 16 of his cartoons hang.

quirky characters such as exaggerated animals and people with fruit-shaped heads. Most are drawn with pen, and several were published in the Kaw Valley Independent. His cartoons are sold as postcards at Sugartown Traders and Creation Station.
"Some are silly and some are surreal," he said, pointing to a cartoon of a frazzled cook with hair stacked high on her misshapen head, a cigarette hanging from her mouth.
Lately, Joshua has concentrated on poetry and piano because he said he can't afford paint supplies.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 3).
You and your sweetheart can work together to achieve the life of your dreams. Make your plans in May. In June, others say it can't be done. Ignore them. Money runs short around August and September. Work and save from October through December. Then celebrate in January and step up a level in February. Make time for a secret love in April.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
A friend's suggestion didn't work, but a coworker's idea might. The concept is simple. Make more, spend less. Great wealth may not be your goal, but it's a nice byproduct. Don't take a trip out of town. Find happiness closer to home.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
Pay attention today. You will get pretty far on your charms alone, but being smart helps. Don't let a potential reversal of fortune take you by surprise.
Let someone else's loss be your gain, not the other way around.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) --- Today is 6 o'clock.
Check through your plans one more time just to make sure you didn't miss anything. No need to hurry. You would actually be wiser to stall.
Something that somebody else wants done right now may not have to be done at all.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Your friends can help prevent you from over-spending, so listen to their advice. You may have been doing a job the hard way. They aren't right about everything. Use your own good judgment.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
The tough part is just about over. Don't make a date for dinner, though. Tomorrow night is better, and Saturday is fine. Push hard and finish the job, and you will rest easy tonight.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
Virgo (Aug. 29-September 22)
Things are going pretty well, but you're still not satisfied. There's something not quite right, and it's starting to really bug you. You know what it is, so do something about it. Get the supplies you will need on the way home from work tonight.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
Sure, you have a few little things on your mind, a few puffy clouds in your clear blue sky. One of them looks kind of gray and menacing, but don't stress. Just do the homework.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
A recent windfall might not go as far as expected. Paying back an old friend could exhaust most of it. Should you tell a little white lie and keep more for yourself? Nope. Keep it clean.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Ever get the feeling you're not being understood?
It's frustrating, but it's usually not fatal. Try again,
but this time pretend you're the other person, the
one who's just not getting it. This may be confusing,
but that's the point. Keep practicing.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
You are so cute. Smile, and whatever you want is yours. Well, almost. Playing this game will make this day a lot more interesting, more profitable and more fun.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
P
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You know somebody loves you, and that's a big help. Focus on that if other plans don't go as well as you had hoped. Another friend might let you down. Costs are also higher than you thought. Try again tomorrow.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You've got most of your plan in place. There are just a few details that need work. If you're baffled about how to proceed, relax. All you need is some body who's good at the math. Swallow your pride and ask.

Ron Levy is no newcomer to the blues and jazz scene. A veteran of more than 30 years in the industry, the Massachusetts-born Levy first got his start in the early 1960s, playing backup to B.B. King, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker and Bo Diddley.

From there, Levy established his own record label, produced countless acts and played everywhere from jazz festivals to TV soundtracks. Now, to commemorate his return to full-time touring, Levy has released a

Levy has produced something to whit his fans' appetites. This CD, intended to generate interest in his tour, shows the full range of Levy's considerable talents.

Levy shows all talents with mix of styles
A volatile mix of soul, jazz, blues, funk and the occasional pinch of hip-hop. Jazz-a-licious Grooves offers the listener a concoction that may not always go down smoothly because of its hit-or-miss nature. Levy, who produced and arranged all of the music, seems to have so much varied knowledge and experience at his disposal he sometimes tries to use it all at once. On the same CD, Levy can sound like a soul legend, as in "Sons of Abraham," or like a run-of-the-mill bar band, as in "What D'Freak."

"Messiah-God" loses lawsuit against prison
10. Mogwal Rock Action (Matador)
BAY CITY, Mich. — An inmate who sued the prison system because he wasn't being treated like God has lost his court claim.
Chad Gabriel DeKoven, a convicted armed robber who calls himself "Messiah-God," filed a lawsuit seeking full-time personal attendants, thousands of trees and animals and tons of precious metals.
He also demanded a full pardon, public acknowledgment that he is the king of the Jews, peace in the Middle East, and return of all U.S. military personnel to the United States within 90 days.

MORTON, III. — Roland and Bev Flanagan's attempt to put up a flag pole didn't fly with the homeowners association.
Beloved smiley face receives a new home
Barn owner Patti Leavitt drew the ire of neighbors when she announced plans to remove the smiley face from her big yellow barn. About 600 people signed a petition demanding it stay.
DELAFIELD, Wis. — The smiley face that has decorated a converted barn on interstate 94 for more than 25 years will be relocated.
On Tuesday, Leavitt said she had agreed to have the face moved to another yellow barn — the home of the Elegant Farmer, a fruit farm and bakery.

Two men steal hearse from woman's funeral
READING, Pa. — Two men stole a hearse loaded with flowers at a funeral just before a woman's casket was to be placed inside, police said.
The pallbearers were getting ready to carry out the casket of a 71-year-old woman at Christ Lutheran Church Saturday when the thieves jumped in and drove off, police said.
"It surprised and shocked everyone," said Bruce G. Osterhout, a Christ Lutheran pastor.
Funeral director Terrence Shannon said the keys were not in the car. Another vehicle was brought in to take the casket to a cemetery.

rent's only $180 a month."
Like many artists, he struggles to pay his bills. He said the $10 per hour salary he gets from the cafe helps, but he also depends on selling his art.
"The feedback's been pretty positive," Joshua said. "They usually sell for $50 to $100. It's cool to have a boss who lets you put stuff on the wall."
Brian Mitchell spends his days working at Everything But Ice and his nights playing guitar or jamming with his band. Mitchell said he doesn't have many expenses, and gigs help to pay the bills. Photo by Selena Jabara/KANSAN
He is more productive now that he has conquered a drinking problem of 13 years, he said. He quit drinking last year after he said he realized his life was deteriorating.
Now, Joshua is a handful of credits shy of a teaching degree and hopes to teach preschoolers how to paint and draw.
Joshua also plays piano Tuesday nights at Java Dive. Next door at the Bourgeois Pig, he is planning a display Aug. 12 of his art and cartoons.
Across the street from where Joshua buses dishes at Paradise Cafe is Brown Bear Brewing Company, where underground musicians such as Brian Mitchell spend weekends performing. Brian can be found there tuning his gold electric guitar onstage, preparing for open mike night.
Peace, love and guitar
Brian performs regularly on the Brown Bear stage, where he knows the right crowd as well as the mahogany neck of his guitar. Comfortable with his skills, he rarely glances down to see the chords he strums.
The music he plays — jazz, Latin, rock, reggae and folk — brought him to Lawrence four years ago. His guitar goes where he goes. Their connection is so intense that Brian, 23, apologized to his guitar after bumping its black case into a door frame.
"You don't understand. This is my baby, my life," he explained, hugging the case to his chest.
Dressed in patchwork pants, a Phish T-shirt and a Rastafarian hat, Brian closed his eyes, nodded his head, smiled in satisfaction and pounded his left Bickstock clog to the beat of his music.
Music is Brian's life, but he pays the rent with his job at Everything But ice.
"I sleep until about 11 every day and go to work from noon to six." Brian said. "Then I go home and practice, and then I usually go find an open mike night somewhere."
Brian's white house on Kentucky Street demonstrates his love for music. His family room windowsill is lined with CDs and cassettes, and the adjoining wall is covered with Phish concert fliers. A drum set is pushed against a wall next to the front door, and wires for amplifiers and speakers snake across the wooden floor. His answering machine plays a guitar riff, followed by a beep.
"I live pretty meager," Brian said. "I live in the basement and there's no electricity in my room. But I only go down there to sleep."
Brian spends hours every day jamming in his family room with his roommate, Danny Spika, a member of the local band Random Happening.
Brian and his band, the Revelry Trio, will tour several towns this summer, including Omaha, Neb: Austin, Texas; and Norman, Okla.
Underground artists explained
Freaks, weirdoes and hippies are three words Brian uses to describe underground artists in Lawrence, suggesting a stigma that comes with putting art first and income last.
But he doesn't care.
"I've been in the underground, and that's where I want to stay." Brian said. "It's the vibe I dig. We're all here to learn and be better."
But chasing a career in art financially can hurt and students who major in fine arts often graduate without having a concrete job ahead. Some end up working other jobs to support themselves.
It's not like getting a pharmacy degree. Jeremy Matchett, associate dean of Pharmacy Practice, said his school had a 100-percent placement rate for graduates.
In contrast, Vickie Hamilton-Smith, director of communications for the School of Fine Arts, said, "We do not have any information tracking how our graduates do after graduation as far as getting jobs. It's something that may be we should focus on in the future, but no one has been doing it."
Underground artists seem drawn to Lawrence's artsy environment. James, the comedic actor, called it a liberal town to which artists migrate. Brian said he thought he'd get a career as a professional musician faster if he lived in Lawrence.
They also appreciate the numerous outlets for

their work. The Lawrence Arts Center is home to dance and play performances, Liberty Hall, Granada, The Bottleneck and University Theatre book performances every week for dancers, acting troupes and bands.
In addition to restaurants and coffee houses that display local art, even government agencies find ways to support artists.
Karen Johnson, administrative assistant to District Court Judge Michael Malone, has hung the work of local artists on the walls of the judicial center since 1985.
I
"I rented pictures from the library for the first few months," Johnson said. "Then I decided to call the Arts Center and ask if they had any artists who wanted a place to display their work. These people have a wonderful talent."
For Lawrence's underground artists, developing that talent entails physical and financial pain. Besides the blisters and cracked skin that appear on her feet after intense rehearsals, Jennifer Wilson feels the pinch of a nearly unaffordable lifestyle.
sources are priceless and valuable.
"This is really difficult, money-wise," Jennifer said. "It's stressful when you get down to the last few dollars. You wonder why you're doing it. I can't really go out because I don't have the resources. If I can't afford to go out for a friend's birthday, I say I'll take a rain check—and that's a reality check."

Since that would be bad for the rest of us, the O'Connells, Evelyn's idiot brother Jonathan (John Hannah) and their mysterious guardian angel Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr) set off again to put all these dead creatures back in their sarcophagi.
If the Scorpion King can be defeated, Imhotep and his gang will gain control of the army of Anubis, an invincible band of werewolf like troops that would allow the mummy to rule the world.
The mummy Imhoteep (Arnold Vosloo), dispatched by Rick and Evelyn in the first movie, is resurrected again by evil forces who need him to battle another ancient villain, the Scorpion King (professional wrestling's The Rock, who should definitely not uit his day job).
If the sequel surpasses the original, it's not for the computer effects. The Mummy Returns is at its strongest with some cleverly staged real-world stunts. The computer animation, while impressive, occasionally looks so cartoonish it detracts and distracts from the movie.
Adventurous rogue Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) and brainy Egyptologist Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) are married now and living in London with their precocious son, Alex (Freddie Boath).
By definition of sequel one-ups-manship. Sommers had to outdo The Mummy for digitally created monsters. But all the gazillions of giant bugs, jungle dwarves, Anubis warriors and other beasties don't make The Mummy Returns a better movie. There's just more computer-generated creations running around, faster, louder and, at times, headache-inducing.
The Mummy Returns silly, yet tempting
By David Germain AP Movie Writer
The Mummy Returns is as big, dumb, corny and overloaded with visual excess as its predecessor. And like The Mummy, a surprise hit two years ago, the sequel offers a lot of good-natured fun (he said guiltily).
Set in 1933, eight years after The Mummy, the sequel reunites the survivors (and decedents) from the first movie.
also made the first movie, does a nice job pushing the buttons that worked two years ago while ladling on new layers of silliness.
Unlike so many bratty kids introduced into action franchises, Boath's Alex enhances the cast with cute pluck and humor. Fraser gets to behave a bit more bookishly, while Weisz throws more punches as the old-married O'Connells rub on each other.
The most refreshing thing about this sequel is that it doesn't try to step back and put the romantic leads at odds the way they were in the first movie. Sommers says he wanted to break that sequel cliché by showing the O'Connells as a couple more in love as the years pass. Nice touch.

Summer strikes Sandstone
By Katie Nelson
joyplay@kansan.com
journal writer
Outdoor concerts are a summertime stale for many students.
"I went last Thursday and they put on a really good show," he said.
Sandstone Amphitheater in Bonner Springs is a major venue for such shows. The summer line includes: Ozfest, Poison, The String Cheese Incident, Aerosmith and James Taylor.
Nick Cassidy, Overland Park freshman, said he would probably see The String Cheese Incident and Widespread Panic on July 5.
Cassidy said he didn't like Sandstone
Bebecca McFall, Seattle junior, said she planned to see James Taylor on Aug. 15 because she liked his style.
as much as other venues.
"It's the seating," he said. "If you buy lawn seats, you have to sit all the way back. And in the front, you can't dance around."
Dave Durril, Lawrence Junior,
agreed Sandstone had negative aspects.
Yet Chris Branham, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, said he would see Aerosmith on July21.

Harbor highlights movie lineup
Several sequels in the works for summer release
By Nicole Roché
Jayplay writer
jayplay@kansan.com
Chad Pope remembers clearly the night Titanic opened in theaters in 1997.
"It was nuts," he said. "There were so many people in the lobby that they couldn't move."
Pope, a Wichita freshman and employee at South Wind 12, said he expected the movie Pearl Harbor to draw a *Titanic*-sized kind of crowd at its debut, May 25.
"It's going to have everything," Pope said. "It's going to have action for the people who like action, and it's going to have a love story for all those romantics out there. Then there's also the historical aspect for the older crowd."
Crystal Elliott, Olathe sophomore, said she had been looking
forward to the release of Pearl Harbor for months.
"We weren't there when this happened, so this movie kind of gives you a glimpse into what really happened at Pearl Harbor," she said. "It's like the past recreated."
Moviegoers will have plenty of choices at the theaters this summer as movie studios push their summer flicks.
This is expected to be a summer of sequels, with movies such as Dr. Doolittle 2, Scary Movie 2 and Rush Hour 2 scheduled for release.
Pope said although he was not a fan of Scary Movie or some other original movies, he knew the sequels would be popular.
"Sex sells." he said. "People want to see violence and action and they want to see sex. And even though they are not good movies, they still have a lot of those things in them, and that is what draws crowds."
Jurassic Park III, with its mounting production costs and all-star cast, is slated for release July 18. This film has Steven Spielberg acting as an executive producer, not as director.

"I don't think the third one can possibly live up to the first one; especially since the second one didn't turn out so well," said Leah Haddadi, Lenexa freshman. "Most sequels are just a bad idea."
Haddadi said there was one movie she would definitely go see. "I just and Silent Bob Strike Back."

Pope said other movies he expected to be big this summer were Tomb Raider (June 15), A.I. (July 4), and Planet of the Apes ( July 27).
As for a personal favorite, Pope said he looked forward to the release of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (July 11).

"Layaway now for summer"
Dancers ready to shine
University group thrives on original choreography
By Chris Wristen
jayplay@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
The University Dance Company will have its annual spring concert at 8 p.m. today and tomorrow at the Lied Center. Joan Stone, UDC choreographer, said she expected this year's performance to sparkle and chill its viewers with original dance moves and rare, aged music selections.
University of Kansas dancers will glide across many stages this weekend.
The performances will feature six original and remastered dance routines. Stone said the concert would be a wonderful opportunity
"These styles have their different types of integrity," Stone said. "But they have their own particular integrity and style of dance and are very beautiful when put together."
together.
Increasing the beauty of the dances, Stone said, was the addition of visiting choreographer Tom Ralabate, a teacher in the KU music and dance department.
to watch a variety of dance forms during the same production.
Ralabate choreographed the final dance, "Inside," to Eurorance music that features heavy beats and emotion.
Ralabate is a nationally renown former ballroom dance champion and choreographer. Stone said his experience as director of the Zodiaque Dance Company and an Ivy Hall Award winner from the Dance Masters of Anierica gave an added kick to the concert.
"It's a jazz dance that demands that the dancers show their emotional side." Stone said. "One can
come to UDC concerts to hear music they won't hear anywhere else."
"It's not just dancing; there's a story behind it." Hancock said.
F
UDC member Beau Hancock,
Hugoton freshman, said it
it brought immense pride to the
whole Company. Hancock appears
in two of the dances, "Patterns"
and "Chacun a Son Gout," in
romantic and comedic roles.
Hancock said he hoped the line-up, which features samples of jazz, ballet and traditional Japanese music would be fun for the audience to watch.
"It's going to be a varied but interesting concert all around," Hancock said. "All of the dancers are fantastic and there aren't any, that I wouldn't be excited to see."

Town gears up for Cinco de Mayo
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter
With Cinco de Mayo on Saturday, students have an extra incentive to visit their favorite Mexican restaurants. Local businesses are expecting a big turnout to celebrate the holiday, even though some people don't really know what they're celebrating.
Brent Zluticky, Wichita junior, isn't familiar with Mexican history, but already has plans to go out Saturday and celebrate with his friends.
Adam Obley, Topeka sophomore,
compared Cinco de Mayo to another
popular holiday.
"It's not my independence," he said. "For me, it's just an excuse to party."
"It's just like St. Patrick's Day." Obley said. "I don't think Americans really know what they're celebrating."
Lee Skinner, assistant professor of Spanish, said the holiday commemorated the Mexican victory against the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. In the battle, a powerful French army attempted to invade Mexico City, but was driven back by an outgunned and outnumbered band of Mexicans from the town.
Despite what some people think, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day.
"It's a classic story of an underdog overcoming a superior force and it effused Mexicans with pride," Skinner said.
The true Mexican Independence Day is September 16, and it's much bigger holiday in Mexico than Cinco de Mayo. José Sanchez, a manager at El Mezcal, 1819 W. 23rd St., who is Mexican, said he didn't mind that most Americans didn't understand Cinco de Mayo's true meaning.
"It's okay," he said. "I like that they celebrate with us, too."
Skinner said society's apparent lack of knowledge about Cinco de Mayo shouldn't be too alarming.
"I don't think it's bad, necessarily," he said. "I wish that people had better understanding of the history and knew why they were out at a Mexican restaurant drinking margaritas. The positive way of looking at this is that it does show the diversity of American cultures."
Even if most people don't know what they're celebrating, most local Mexican restaurants plan to offer specials on Saturday to entice customers.
El Mezcal will offer $1 Coronas and $7.75 fajitas to attract restaurant-goers.
"A lot of people like to go out so we like to have specials." Sanchez said. "It's a custom in Mexico. Every business does it. It'a money thing, but we like to do it every year to celebrate the Mexican war against the French."
Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts St. is, going to offer drink specials and live entertainment from a Mariachi band for its
CINCO DE MAYO
When: Saturday.
What: Cinco De Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrating victory against the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. In the battle, a powerful French army attempted to invade Mexico City, but was driven back by an outgunned and outnumbered band of Mexicans in the town of Puebla.
Cinco de Mayo celebration, said Kefel Al, the restaurant's owner.
"This is as commercial a holiday as the rest of them," he said. "What's very strange to me is that people do know about Cinco de Mayo. It's becoming like St. Patrick's Day."
Aquil said he expected a big crowd Saturday.
"We reap the benefits of Cinco de Mayo," he said. "We're ready for it."
Not all local Mexican restaurants are making plans for the holiday. Carlos O'Kelly's, 707 W. 23rd, isn't doing anything special.
"We haven't even discussed it yet, even though it is coming up soon," said restaurant manager Heather Cregan. "We usually put Corona on special, but we don't do anything too terrific."
Phillip Rodriguez, manager at La Familia Cafe, 733 New Hampshire, said his restaurant wouldn't be joining in, either.
"We really don't because we don't have liquor here," Rodriguez said. "We always get busy, but we don't really run anything special."

Frederick negotiates teaching agreement
By Jason Krall editor@kansai.com Kansai campus editor
Departing Athletics Director Bob Frederick is negotiating a contract with the University of Kansas that would allow him to teach on a salary in the School of Education without applying for a faculty appointment in the school.
The amount of Frederick's new salary and the length of the contract are still being negotiated, but his salary will not be paid out of the school's budget. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the contract would be financed using money allocated to the University from the state and money from the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation budget. Frederick's salary as athletics director is $166,303. He will step down from the post July 1.
Hemenway said the contract would not permit Frederick, 61, to apply for tenure in the school.
"To be honest, we haven't worked out all the details of his employment." Hemenway said. "It's not a tenure-track appointment; it's a contractual relationship."
Jerry Bailey, interim dean of education, said Frederick would join the department of health, sports and exercise science, where he would continue to teach a graduate-level course in the management of facilities for athletics and physical education. Frederick has taught the course for the past three years
Bailey said
Frederick would
teach only that
course next fall. bat
in the spring he would be expected to teach three courses.
Frederick: negotiating contract to teach classes
"The limit on the course is 15 students, but this semester I ended up taking 31," he said.
Frederick has taught courses periodically in the department's sports administration curriculum since receiving a graduate faculty appointment in 1988, one year after he became athletics director. He said he hoped to teach more courses in sports administration, and the course he currently taught had been popular.
The course satisfies a requirement for a master's degree in sports studies.
Frederick's teaching appointment comes at an opportune time for the department. Five of its 11 faculty members will retire after turning in grades for this spring's courses, taking with them 175 combined years of teaching experience. Bailey said.
"Since we have this avalanche of retirements, we're getting a great teacher at a great time," said Bailey, who had Frederick in class while Frederick was working toward the doctoral degree in educational administration he earned from the school in 1984.
Hemenway said that Frederick's teaching position would be established through the contract because it would allow the school to recruit other candidates to replace the department's five departing faculty members.
"At least in this initial appointment, we thought that because the School of Education is going to be recruiting for those open positions, we didn't want to inhibit that process." Hemenway said.
Frederick was athletics director at Illinois State University for two years before he took the job at the University. He was head basketball coach at Lawrence High School from 1977 to 1981.
Bailey said anyone who saw Frederick's new contract as giving him special treatment should remember that he was a former high school coach and chemistry teacher who had dedicated years of service to the University.
"When we received word that he might be interested in spending time with us, we were delighted," he said. "I think he'll do a terrific job for students."

Should admissions standards be used to create diversity?
Story by Cynthia Malakasis, Kansan staff writer Photos by Christina Neff, Kansan staff photographer
we Lane grew up in a tough, urban area on the south side of St. Louis and knew, even in her high school years, that her chances of being admitted to a university were slim.
Lane and the vast majority of her classmates were African American, and the high school they attended was lackluster and poorly funded.
"I hadn't had to write a paper, ever," she said. "Going to school was the most purposeless thing I had to do. I felt like I was wasting my time because I wasn't really picking up anything."
Now a KU senior in African-American studies, Lane says she still doesn't know why administrators reconsidered her case and admitted her. She was initially sent a denial notice when she applied in the spring of 1998 because her GPA did not meet minimal out-of-state requirements. After she petitioned, with the help of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and met with admissions officers, Lane was admitted on probation.
Lane believes that her inadequate schooling in the urban environment where she grew up was the main reason for her admission. However, KU administrators in undergraduate and graduate admissions agree that being an ethnic minority works to a student's favor during the admissions process.
"If we have a student of color who doesn't meet the requirements, I think that we'll certainly want to give them every consideration before we say 'no'," said Alan Cerveny, director of undergraduate admissions at the University.
Because affirmative action is being challenged in courts nationwide as reverse discrimination against Whites, the term seldom crosses the lips of KU officials. KU admissions officials insist they don't follow a quota system, which
GTAs stage 'grade-in' rally
A
Protesters gather at chancellor's office to grade homework
Chancellor Robert Hemenway listens to the concerns of GTAs while discussing practical realities of the university budget. The GTAs were grading papers and doing other work associated with their duties in the hallway outside the chancellor's office in Strona Hall yesterday. Photo by J. E. Wilson/KANSAN
Molly Dingel did her usual grading yesterday morning and prepared the final exam for her social problems class. But while she completed her usual work, the graduate teaching assistant did it in an unusual place, outside Chancellor Robert Hemenway's office.
By Michelle Ward writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Dingel was one of the expected 100 GTAs to take part in the rally yesterday in Strong Hall. Graduate teaching assistant union organizers wanted to make the work GTAs do for the University visible. Amy Cummins, president of GTAC, said the slogan for the day was "working conditions equal learning conditions." They wanted to give the administration a reminder of what they do, she said.
"We wanted to highlight the valuable labor of GTAs who make KU's educational mission possible," Cummins said. "The faculty, staff and students as a whole have beehv very supportive. They understand GTAs are in really bad circumstances."
While GTAC wanted to end the year on a positive note, an undercurrent of tension.ran through the rally. The stall in contract negotiations between GTAC and the University led to the "grade-in" yesterday.
GTAs congregated in the rotunda of Strong Hall with buttons, shirts and signs to show their unity and desire for a better contract. Cummins said a new and improved contract would benefit all 950 GTAs, who teach more than 30 percent of the classes at the University.
"If we really mattered to the University, they would make us a priority, and we could get a contract within the first year of negotiations," she said. "It makes it very apparent we aren't a
Dingel said they were frustrated by the University's lack of respect for GTAs.
high priority despite the fact we teach a number of classes here."
Dingel said she could afford rent and utilities, but her $10,000 a year salary left little to pay off student loans and other bills. While she said she was aware of every dollar she spent, she felt fortunate to be able to pay the rent. Some GTAs earn much less than she does because KU has no minimum salary for teaching assistants. She said the union wanted to raise the bottom of the pay scale and allow all GTAs to have a little more.
Greg Douros, a Western Civilization GTA, said he would have to get a second job next year. His $9,400 salary from the University is just not enough to cover Douros and his wife's expenses. His family is living paycheck to paycheck right now, he said, and that's not how he wants his family to live. With no dental coverage in his KU insurance, Douros said he had no idea how they
would pay for a dental emergency. Living without savings is a dangerous way to live, he said.
Douros said he hoped the day's efforts would serve as a reminder to the University how important GTAS were to the University. Working outside the chancellor's office, Douros said the administration could not ignore them. He said he hoped the new contract would provide all GTAs with a salary increase, while providing a basic minimum salary to everyone.
"I like KU a lot. I like the teachers and the University," he said. "I love teaching. But I still think the administration needs to improve working conditions."
The present contract will stay in existence until a new one is approved. Neither GTAC members nor KU officials will comment on specifics of the talks while they are still negotiating.

Robinson to open additional center in Burge Union
By Livi Regenbaum
Kansan staff writer
Beginning this fall students will have an additional place to exercise.
A recreation services committee has worked with the Memorial Corporation Board to add a mini fitness center on the third floor of the Burge Union that will be available the hours that Robinson Center facilities are not.
"I think it's a great because it's hard for people to meet the restricted Robinson hours, so that would give people a chance to fit their workouts into their schedule," she said.
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said the new center was a way to accommodate students who couldn't workout during Robinson's hours. She said the facility would be free and open Sunday through Friday.
Gretchen Wegner, Overland Park senior, said she thought the new facility was a great idea.
Chappell said the center would provide cardiovascular equipment such as treadmills, bikes and cross trainer machines. In addition, it will provide weight machines such as shoulder press and chest machines, but it will not provide free weights.
April Davies, Lawrence senior, said she liked the idea of having another place to work out.
"I think any additional facilities to work out would be a good thing, especially since I live in the towers," Davies said. "It is right across the street, so I would be willing to go even if it is late at night."

Former Mexican leader addresses "globaphobia"
MANHATTAN, Kan. — In his first public speech since leaving office, former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo defended free trade policies yesterday and called protesters against them "globaphobic."

his exports.
Delivering a Landon Lecture on the campus of Kansas State University, Zedillo said among the biggest threats to Mexico's stability were ongoing internal strife and poverty. He described "world interdependence" as a solution.
He said isolationism never had been a good policy. His remarks were designed to respond to anti-globalization protesters at last month's Summit of the Americas in Quebec, which resulted in an agreement among 34 nations to unite the Western Hemisphere in the world's most powerful trade bloc.
"They believe they have truly altruistic reasons for opposing globalization, but on close scrutiny, their common agenda turns out to be shared protectionism — mostly targeted against developing countries," Zedillo said.
Natural gas companies to give consumer refund
The money is a refund from natural gas producers who overcharged consumers in the 1970s and 1980s. Conversion
TOPEKA — State regulators signed an order yesterday directing $29.3 million from a legal settlement to help low- and middle-income natural gas customers pay their bills.
The Kansas Corporation Commission already has allowed Kansas Gas Service to distribute $5.6 million in settlement funds as refunds to its 625,000 customers. The company also made a $75,000 donation to the American Red Cross.
Under the KCC order signed yesterday, the money will help households with incomes at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty level. A household of four could have an income of up to $51,150 and still receive the benefit, the KCC said.
Earlier this year, the state House and Senate adopted resolutions urging that the money be directed to natural gas customers who don't qualify for existing assistance programs.

Penn State students end standoff with university
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State University students are celebrating the end of a bitter eight-day standoff after negotiating an agreement with school officials to increase opportunities for African-American students.
ties for African American students. Hundreds of students have been camped out in the student union building since April 24, angered by the university's response to complaints about racism and several recent death threats against African Americans.
On Wednesday night, after several African-American professors helped mediate an agreement, the standoff turned into a party.
Last week, the university said it would strengthen the African and African-American studies departments, create an Africana Studies Research Center and restructure the position of vice provost for educational equity. Students complained the changes didn't go far enough.
Possible link discovered in case of decapitated girl
PINE BLUFF, Ark. — A man who killed himself while being pursued by authorities Sunday may be linked to the death of a little girl in Kansas City, Mo., a Pine Bluff police officer said yesterday.
But Kansas City police say they know of no connection.
Reginald Morrow, 34, was wanted in connection with the killing of 18-year old Shanda Wilson of Kansas City. Morrow shot himself in the head after a foot chase Sunday by a Pine Bluff police officer.
A search of Morrow's car turned up what police in Pine Bluff believe to be the murder weapon in another crime — the decapitation of a 3- to 6-year-old girl whose headless body was found Saturday in a wooded area of Kansas City, said Pine Bluff police Lt. Pete Dennis. Her head was found near her body Tuesday.
Dennis said blood and hair were also found in Morrow's rented vehicle.
China defense memo mistakenly released
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon further complicated an already tense relationship with China by first stating that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld had suspended all contacts with the Chinese military and then retracting the statement, which it called a misunderstanding.
An official memorandum from Rumsfeld's office Monday to senior military and civilian officials in the Pentagon said he had directed "the suspension of all Department of
defense programs, contacts and activities with the People's Republic of China until further notice."
Hours after the memo leaked on Wednesday and was reported worldwide by U.S. news organizations, a spokesman for Rumsfeld, Rear Adm. Craig Quigley, said the memo was a mistake. In the interim, Quigley and other officials had struggled to explain the move, which also appeared to catch the White House by surprise.
First space tourist didn't disrupt work

MOSCOW — Russian officials denied yesterday that space tourist Dennis Tito had disrupted work on the International Space Station, saying he was spending his time making videos and staying out of the way.

Tit0, 60, an investment banker from Santa Monica, Calif., arrived at the station Monday on a Russian Soyuz space ship together with two cosmonauts. He reportedly paid up to $20 million for the trip, which NASA opposed and said would disrupt work on board.
"Of course, when a visiting expedition arrives, the schedule changes a bit. It's not important whether Tito is there or not." Blagov said in an interview on the Echo Moskvy radio station. "Programs are carried out without damage, and scientific experiments are carried out."
"Tito is busy with his program, making videos and observing," Blagov said.
North Korea extends missile test moratorium
PYONYANG, North Korea — A European delegation said North Korea's leader told them yesterday that his moratorium on missile tests would last until at least 2003, and that he wanted a second summit with South Korea's leader.
But Kim Jong Il said any summit with his South Korean counterpart, Kim Daejung, would not happen while the United States reviewed its policies on the North, the European Union officials said.
During five hours of talks with the first Western European leader to visit North Korea, the communist nation also agreed to send officials to Europe this summer to discuss opening talks about its widely criticized human rights record. The agreements came as the North's ties with South Korea and the United States seem to have soured.

Livestock disease nears end
TOLLESHUNT KNIGHTS, England — Prime Minister Tony Blair said yesterday that Britain is in the "home straight" in its fight against foot-and-mouth disease — but plg farmer Peter Morley remains unconvinced.
The Associated Press
Last weekend, 1,644 sheep and 112 pigs were culled on a neighbor's farm after foot-and-mouth antibodies were found in two sheep, and Morley fears a new outbreak in his rural corner of Essex county, which had been on the verge of being declared disease-free.
"The disease is not under control yet and won't be for months," said Morley, who had to have 250 of his healthy animals destroyed on Monday because the restrictions bar them from traveling to slaughterhouses and they had outgrown his facilities. "Blair is just saying that because he wants to hold an election in June."
Blair's cautiously upbeat assessment of the crisis reinforced speculation that he will call a national election on Thursday, June 7, at the same time as local government elections.
Recent opinion polls show Blair's Labor government still well ahead of its chief opposition the Conservative Party.
the Conservative Party. Tim Yeo, agriculture spokesman for the Conservative Party, said he feared Blair "is driven by spin doctors and the need for a good soundbyte, rather than by the substance of the policy."
"We must not relax policy before it is safe to do so merely because there may be an election coming up." he said in an interview with a British Broadcasting Corp. radio program.
The prime minister said Britain had caught
up with the disposal of slaughtered animals and soon would be able to stop slaughtering animals.
"The battle is not over yet, but I believe we are in the home straight," Blair said, adding that the country "cannot in any way be complacent, and it is essential that we be vigilant." Nine more infected farms were confirmed on Wednesday, raising the total to 1,534 since the first case was announced on Feb. 20, the Ministry of Agriculture said.
The rate of new cases has declined steadily from a high of more than 40 per day at the peak of the outbreak. The government has relaxed its policy of slaughtering livestock on farms next to infected sites and has lifted restrictions affecting some 16,000 farms, Blair said.
affecting some of the Ministry of Agriculture said yesterday that a total of 2.4 million animals had so far been slaughtered, with 100,000 awaiting slaughter and 59,000 awaiting disposal. The number of animals culled represents 2.5 percent of the nation's herds.
nation's herds. The epidemic, which spread into Ireland and the European continent, has shut Britain's livestock out of international trade. Restrictions on movement in the countryside and intense media coverage of the crisis has hurt tourism.

Festival to feature lesbian films
Proceeds will support search for Lawrence girl
Erin Adamson

Kansan staff writer
The Miranda Film Festival will present five films with lesbian themes tomorrow to raise money to find Miranda Budiman, who was four years old when she was allegedly kidnapped more than two years ago by her father and taken to Indonesia.
Miranda's mother, Tara Budiman, now lives in Lawrence with her partner Tammy O'Shields, and the festival honors the local queer community.
Christine Robinson, graduate teaching assistant in women's studies and Western Civilization, said that February Sisters was able to organize the film festival with the financial support of SUA, the theater and film department, Queers and Allies, Student Senate and Coca-Cola. She said Sharon
MIRANDA FILM FESTIVAL PRESENTS:

5:15 p.m. The Sex Monsters

Sullivan, graduate teaching assistant in theater and film and women's studies, had come up with the idea of the festival.
Erin Goodison, Mound City senior, said she had met Budiman and O'Shields when she worked at the Vagina Monologues and decided she wanted to help raise money for the couple to find Miranda.
Goodison said the festival had been an opportunity for the queer community to work together to help a member of the community.
"I think that Lawrence has a great and very active queer community." Goodison said. "More
than anything, this is what happens from having a small, tightly knit community."
Goodison made educational promotions at KJHK and helped with public relations for the festival.
"The festival is incredibly important as we consider the queer community and civil rights," Saveed said.
Almas Sayeed, Wichita senior, said the movies were chosen to highlight women's experiences and sexuality in a number of different contexts.
She said the films presented the experiences of many lesbians of color, who often don't have a feminist network to support them.
"Each of these movies gives the queer community a great deal of autonomy, whether you are part of the queer community or not," Sayeed said. "It is for a cause. It's not simply to watch the films, but to think about what happens to out couples."
Sayeed said that Shades of Gray, the last film of the evening, highlighted the experiences of local lesbians.

Used clothing market in the toilet

The Java Break opens boutique dubbed Flush
By Molly Gise and Mike Gilligan writer@kansan.com
Specials to the Kansan
A toilet sits in the corner of Lawrence's latest rèsale clothing store. Every 10 minutes or so, a pipe suspended above the toilet releases a stream of water into the bowl, resounding the store's name.
Flush!
The Java Break recently added Flush, a resale clothing store attached directly to the coffee shop. Derek Hogan, owner of The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., said the store's name came to him one day while he was taking care of some personal business.
"I was sitting on my toilet at home," Hogan said.
Like The Java Break, which is open 24 hours a day. Flush has unusual hours. Its doors are open Sunday through Thursday from noon to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from noon to midnight.
Amy Brady, Topea junior, said she liked the store's hours.
"One advantage of Flush is that it's open so late," Brady said. "So if I wanted to buy a used T-shirt at 11 at night, I could."
Resale stores and coffee shops are two business staples of a typical college town. Though Lawrence has a number of used clothing stores, Don Stanley, assistant manager of The Java Break, said Lawrence had room for another.
It's been a pretty lucrative market here, Stanley said. "Lawrence had no problem supporting Arizona Trading Company and Sugartown."
Jennifer Agniel, Shawnee senior,
said she was happy to see another
used clothing store.
"I think it's good, because if they don't buy your stuff at one store, then maybe they'll take it at another store," she said. "You have more options."
Lawrence's downtown area features the most resale clothing stores, including Arizona Trading Company, Sugartown Traders, Pickadell Square and now Flush.
Jennifer McKnight, owner of Arizona Trading Company, said that used clothing stores didn't involve the same kind of competition as other businesses.
"The market will support whatever it wants to support," McKnight said. "I don't consider the other used clothing stores as competition,
because we all have different things that make us unique."
New York's trendy thrift stores and Diesel's in-store coffee shops inspired him to open Flush, Hogan said.
"I think it turned out pretty cute."
Hogan said. "It's a little more boutique-y than perhaps in some of the other stores."
McKnight said she supported Java Break's latest endeavor.
"I've been around for 10 years, and we keep expanding," McKnight said. "If Java Break does good, that's wonderful, because this is a good business to be in. If you know what you are doing, you will do well for sure, especially in a town like Lawrence."
Hogan said he would eventually expand Flush into the coffee shop. He also plans to produce new clothes like silk screen printed T-shirts and studded jeans to add to the used clothes.
"I want to do something creative with my life," he said. "Clothes are creative."
Hogan said the used clothing business differed from coffee shops, which are more competitive. He said he had never seen a town with as many coffee shops as Lawrence. But the competition doesn't worry him.
"We can't worry about competition." Hogan said. "We have to worry about ourselves and let competition make us a better store."

Professor leaves for California job as business dean
By Sarah Warren
Kansan staff writer
It may have been the thought of better weather that drew Henry Butler to a position at Chapman University in Orange. Calif., last week.
But then it could have been the controversy, too.
Butler, professor of business, resigned from his post at the University of Kansas last week to take the dean's job at the Argyros School of Business and Economics at Chapman.
The controversy lay in a Wall Street Journal article that questioned the center's relationship with Koch Industries, a Wichita-based family business. That article speculated that a continuing-education program that was sponsored by the center was deliberately set up to influence judges who might rule on future cases in which Koch Industries was a party. Operations for the center were, for the most part, underwritten by a donation from the Koch Foundation. A national headline controversy ensued.
In 1999, Butler was involved in a controversy with the KU Organizational Economics Center. Butler is the director of the center and his wife, Paige Butler, is the current associate director.
In 1999, the Journal broke the story about the center's controversial relationship with Koch. In the same year, the company's oil division was engrossed in a scandal involving the theft of oil from Native-American lands in Oklahoma.
Butter and his wife were unavailable for comment yesterday. However, according to yesterday's Lawrence Journal-World, Butler addressed his business school colleagues on the matter through a staff e-mail.
While I really hate to leave Lawrence and KU, this is a tremendous opportunity for Paige and me." When he travels to Chapman, Butler will take the center with him. He said, in the e-mail, that his wife would be the director of the center and that the program would continue at Chapman.

International students adjust to customs of physical contact

Some students try to follow the rules of their religion or culture, but sometimes it is just easier to do what Americans expect them to do.
When men try to shake Fatemah Bahman's and Ilham Al-Azizi's hands, the women sometimes return the physical greeting instead of explaining that it's against their religion — Islam.

Bahman, Kuwait City, Kuwait, sophomore, said if women were friends and had not seen each other for awhile, they would hug and kiss each other. She thought they were more open with one another than American women. However, their religion prevented affection between men and women, unless they were a father, brother, uncle, grandfather or husband.
just not right to touch a man if he can marry you."
But it is much different in Anita Herzfeld's native country of Argentina. Men and women will hug and touch cheeks when they greet one another. When men meet other men, they will even show this affection. Herzfeld, an associate professor in Latin American studies, said that was something new as men grew freer in their expression.
She has adjusted to American culture, but she still wails her students she is "touchy,"
touchy." She said they have to get used to it just like she did with her professors. When she first came to the United States, she would have professors pinned against the wall, she said. As she moved closer, they would continue to back up as they needed their personal space.
She also noticed her friends stiffen as she joined arms to walk with them. She said it was just the way women walked in Argentina. They would walk down the street arm in arm but not in America. Herzfeld said Americans needed a greater amount of space than South Americans.
Herzfeld believed the ability to be close was linked to how the two societies lived. While most Americans move at least five times in their lives, Argentines often stay in the same place they were born. She said Americans didn't form as close of bonds with people because they knew they would leave. But people's close friends in Argentina would be there for life, she said.
"You live and die in the same place you were born," she said. "People develop much closer relationships."
Yoko Numata, Yokohama, Japan, graduate student, said people were much more formal in her homeland. They would shake hands if they were at a business function, but no one really hugged in Japan. When out drinking with friends, people might pat each other on the arm as a sign of affection. But warmth came more in people's expressions and words than outward signs of affection.
Numata said affection was shown in subtle ways in Japan. The formality of the culture is very important in Japan and is tied to a belief that younger generations respect older ones, she said. The formality does make it difficult to communicate sometimes, though.
"When I want to share my feelings with my parents, I feel like I can't really share everything," she said. "I don't feel like they can respond to me fully."

Arguments about abortion, religion say nothing new
I want to rob a bank. And I don't mean robbery as in some white-collar Charles Keating-type swindle, either. I'm angry.
Kearing-type swindle, erlier. I'm angry.
Why am I so angry? Is it because I've been listening to too much Eminem or sniffing spray paint? No, it's because every time I open the Kansan, I'm confronted with another column about either abortion or religion.
This, in itself, is not a horrible thing. What is horrible is that the overwhelming majority of these columns are simple rehashings of the same old dogmas by people who haven't had an original thought in their entire lives.
I know it sounds hard to believe, but aboration is not the defining social issue of our time. It's a medical procedure that only a tiny percentage of our population ever
chooses to undergo. It is not a declaration of the independence of women, and it will not lead to the downfall of western civilization.
The only important thing about the abortion issue is that it is easy to pick a side based on abstract and undebatable beliefs.
The religious right and National Organization for Women recognize this and use it to their full advantage. These
Matt Overstreet columnist joliet@iansan.com
demagogues exploit the abortion issue not because of deep ideological beliefs but to keep themselves in the spotlight.
They trick people with fiery talk about this emotional issue to gain support for their non-abortion-related agendas. On both sides, people spout the same old rhetoric; like apes using sign language, they don't understand a word.
As with abortion, very rarely does anyone ever have anything original to say about religion. The people who most vocally express their religious beliefs fit easily into two categories, both of which to me are deplorably stereotypical.
The first group is the quasi-hip campus Christian type. This guy probably has long hair (just like the musicians in his favorite band, Stryker) and is likely to say stuff like "Jesus was a really cool dude, man."
People such as this love to claim that they know Jesus and follow his teachings. For the overwhelming majority, this is not true. They know Jesus about as well as I know Holden Caufield — they have only read about him. Contrary to what they preach, they don't follow his teachings; they just follow the crowd.
I don't know Jesus, but if he is truly cool, he wouldn't go anywhere near such a stereotypical and hypocritical crowd. He would be hanging out with me, sitting at the dog track, smoking cigarettes and feeling ticked off.
The other group, amazingly, is almost more stereotypical then the hipster Christian type. These people are the ones who, after coming to college, reject their parents' religions and then turn to some equally ridiculous alternative faith. Chances are, anyone you know who comes from a small town and now practices Wicca or speaks of the virtues of Buddhism falls into this category.
There is nothing more clichéd then the kid who comes to college and doubts his or her beliefs, only to end up right back where he or she started a few years later. Your parents went through the exact same thing; look at them now.
It's the great American stereotype. Let's all rebel in a socially acceptable way for a predetermined amount of time, then settle down for a long and quiet life of patriotic consumption in the suburbs.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do. If you want to be an abortion protester, Christian, tree-worshiper or Winger fan, do it. I don't care.
All I'm saying is that tonight, instead of watching *Friends*, why don't you spend half an hour thinking about what you believe? Ask yourself whether your actions are based on reason or simply on what is easy or hip.
No wait, I take it back. Please don't reflect on your situation. I don't want to be responsible for the violent consequences when you realize how incredibly phony you really are.

Library gnomes helpful when at 'The What?'
Mr. College Answer Person has returned.
After a much-needed sojourn in the
Adidivackets, with a stopover in Rio and Tangiers, not to mention some sightseeing along the Great Wall, he's in fighting shape to conjure another batch of advice.
Remember, Mr. College Answer Person's e-mail address is mrcollegeanswerperson@hotmail.com. He'd be delighted to hear from ya'll!
I can never find the book I need in Watson Library. Can you help?
Mr. College Answer Person is delighted to share the secrets to the enormous building known to its fans as "The What?" Few fully comprehend the vast intricacies of the library or have traveled to all its scintillating nooks and crannies.
PARKER
or most problems, the library gnomes are there to help. They live in the nooks and crannies between books and are easily recognized by their pointy hats and musty odor. Mr. College Answer Person has found the gnome that lives on the four and a-
half west stack to be particularly helpful. His name is Kwezzilakeyakey Meandlewheedie, and he'd really like to meet a female gnome sometime. So drop by and say hi.
Clay McCuistion columnist opinion@ansen.com
If the gnomes don't help, you could always go and ask a card catalog troll. They tend to be prickly, however. In mood and skin. Mr. College Answer Person would advise you bring them a slice of pie. They like banana cream the best.
It's not. The drugs you've been taking merely make you think it is. Everyone knows that the sky is actually a mauve-turquoise plaid. Come on! Sober up and set a good example for your kids.
Why is the sky blue?
I hate your column. I'm sure you're a nice guy and all, but sheshe, [expletive] off.
Mr. College Answer Person isn't very fond of you either. He's only trying to help, after all.
Ungrateful wretches such as yourself make him ponder the wisdom of devoting his life in selfless service to you lame [expletive].
And Mr. College Answer Person takes exception to the assumption he's a nice guy. He's actually a bitter, evil, twisted person, and would like you to remember that. Or perhaps he's only bitter, evil and twisted to you. Yes, that's it.
Dear Mr. College Answer Person: I have been following your column for some time now, and I find it extremely bizarre and bogus to say the least. It seems obvious that you make up and answer your own questions. In other circumstances this could be a diagnosable schizophrenia (or dementia). PLEASE BASE ADVICE ON SOUND PERSONAL EXPERIENCE to maintain some sense of credibility.
Hmph. Mr. College Answer Person is not amused. He seems to be reaping the harvest of nasty messages from disgruntled yahoos, some of whom, he has a peculiar premonition, may be elementary school art teachers from his hometown.
Mr. College Answer Person would just like to remind his devoted audience that every bit of advice in this column has been painstakingly reviewed by his personal assistant Lizzie van Wheetletums, who's very good at fact-checking when she's not out buying posters of the Back Avenue Lads and In Rhythm, or whatever the popular singing groups of today are called.
And with that, Mr. College Answer Person is off to check his e-mail. Perhaps someone will send him a note of congratulations. Or a virus. He's touched that people care at all, really.

Postal Service needs relief to stay alive
Some small towns, such as Kansas', rely on post offices to give jobs to residents.
Anything to help the United States Postal Service, which suffered a $199 million loss last year, is a good idea.
On April 4, the U.S. Congress debated a proposal to help cut costs for the U.S. Postal Service: eliminating mail delivery on Saturdays. Thanks to projected losses of $3 billion for this fiscal year despite a one-cent postage increase earlier this year, the proposal is quickly attracting supporters.
Because of inflation, rising fuel costs and competition from e-mail, the drop in mail volume has drastically hurt the U.S. Postal Service. Even though postage went up a penny in January, postal managers plan to apply for another increase this summer.
If the proposal passes to eliminate Saturday mail delivery, enough money could be saved to allow for a smaller increase in postage rather than a drastic one, which is needed now.
Many members of Congress criticized the proposal.
"There's nothing that would have ten people's interest in pursuing other forms of delivering mail than that," said Rep. Bob Barr, R-Georghia.
But the vice chairman of the post office's governing board, S. David Fineman, said going to five-day service could save a lot of money.
"It could offset the amount of the loss that we have, and we would hope that whatever actions we take will be able to cause us to ask for less of a rate increase."
In unstable times, this proposal could increase the stability of the Postal Service and avoid another postage increase. Moreover, it would help ensure post offices won't close. That's crucial in rural towns, where post offices are stable places of employment.
Members of Congress need to realize that the Postal Service is in need of reform and flexibility to be able to compete with skyrocketing costs and electronic communication. Eliminating Saturday mail delivery is one small step to alleviate the Postal Service's financial losses and ensure Kansas' small towns can keep their post offices.

For a school that claims to be so diverse, they don't do a very good job educating the ignorant.

I can assure you that no hippie made a comment about the Kansas quarter not having wheat on it because a hippie would probably respect the farmer enough to want wheat on the quarter.

Letters to the Editor Lighting editorial misled public
In light of the editorial on the lighting situation around the scholarship halls ("Safer campus relies on input from students," April 24) the Campus Safety Advisory Board would like to clarify a few misconceptions. First, the streets, not the parking lots, surrounding the scholarship halls are not on University property. The issue of lighting the streets, however, is not a simple one. City officials do not recognize the streets intersecting 11th through 13th streets as being "residential areas" since there is no residential housing in that area. The problem arises when scholarship hall residents park along the side streets and walk home to their halls. In the past, the University has rented lights from the city to accommodate the students. However, monthly fees for rented lights are expensive. A temporary solution is to provide additional blue phones, which the University and this board is allowed to immediately provide. Adding lighting in any area of campus is a complex process, with many groups expressing their views. Sometimes the process stagnates when one group refuses to cooperate.
Another clarification is how many pay phones will remain on campus. Southwestern Bell has not specified a time frame for removing any pay phones. This is a tentative proposal. Furthermore, the column quoted four remaining pay phones, when in fact 11 are proposed to remain.
campus safety measures. This year, the board has done substantially more than in the years past. It approved 10 more blue phones for campus, pamphlets for incoming freshmen explaining the blue phones and the drafting and passage of the Campus Safety Fee. This fee will enhance student activism and provide students with a much safer perception of their campus.
The Campus Safety Advisory Board is committed to providing adequate and effective decision-making with all

'Intolerance' of intolerance
GTAC relies on many groups
The Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition thanks all of the graduate teaching assistants, graduate and professional students, faculty, staff and undergraduates who have supported its efforts this academic year. During contract negotiations, the support on campus has meant a lot. It seems the administration is the only side that cannot support GTAs or the educational mission of the University.
Working conditions equal learning conditions. The GTA union supports the University's educational mission for undergraduate and graduate students. GTAs unionized with the American Federation of Teachers in 1995 because GTAs could not receive fair compensation, benefits or working conditions without using collective bargaining rights. GTAC will continue to raise public awareness until GTAs achieve a fair contract and until KU's educational mission receives the support it deserves from KU administrators and from the state of Kansas.
I must confess: I am "intolerant." I'm passionately "intolerant" of prejudice, discrimination, racism, sexism, ageism, ability-ism, sexual orientation-ism, anti-semitism, religion-ism, placism, cultural elitism, colonialism, intellectual sloth, aversion, xenophobia, criminal violence, institutional violence and cultural violence.
Amy Cummins
GTAC president
Newport, N.C., graduate student
The list goes on, but you get the point.
I'm passionately "intolerant" of public officials who lie to their constituencies; University administrators who abuse their power to oppress and ostracize political foes; University administrators who commit acts of fraud to further their personal and political agendas; anyone who sits in silence while surrounded by injustice; those who would oppress another's free expression and people who don't know the difference between "intolerance" and "intolerance."
Professor repeats same mantra
If more people were "intolerant" of moral crimes, maybe we wouldn't have had such things as the Jewish Holocaust in Europe or the genocide occurring around the world today. Maybe we would have social justice.
Since Hemenway took charge in 1995, this University has faced 29 civil rights lawsuits in federal court. The previous administrations, back to 1988, had faced only 10. May be if more of us were "intolerant" of the unrestrained institutional violence against women and people of color here, we wouldn't have seen the number of civil rights lawsuits jump.
Aaron Profitt has his information wrong. He thinks that Mike Cuenca's letter misinterpreted Andrew Marino's column ("Principles, not passion, will bring end to racism." April 20). Cuenca didn't interpret Marino's column at all; it was coincidental to Cuenca's ulterior motive.
assistant professor of journalism
Cuenca doesn't care what Marino's column is about; he simply wants to embarrass the University with claims of racism. In fact, his 343-word letter only mentions Marino's name twice and his column once. Cuenca would prefer to attack "ad hominem," calling Marino an "ideologue," rather than discuss the merits of the column.
It is obvious that Cuenca wants only one thing: a soapbox from which he can yell the mantra he has repeated for months, his self-defined mission to throw egg on the University's face.

Gav Christians are true leaders
To the gay community:
To the gay community.
Any action is acceptable in the eyes of God. As long as those actions are filled with love, they are Godlike.
When they are filled with fear, then they help define who we are.
I'm especially impressed with gay Christians. Speaking of loving the enemy as yourself, you've been beaten and spat upon, kind of like Christ. Christ had the ability to show people themselves. This is what you are doing. You are true leaders because you have the courage to tell the truth. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not supposed to be who you are.
Mel Smith Lawrence resident
Your courage is actually righteousness. This letter isn't just for gays, but for anyone who believes in love and all that love brings: understanding, unity, harmony, wisdom, on and on.
I strongly recommend the series of books Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue by Neale Walsch. It'll help you see the Bible more clearly.
Gav blood on Christians' hands
Since the article ran on the experiences of gayes and lesbians in Christian churches ("Condemned but keeping the faith," April 23), a number of demeaning comments made have been made in letters (even the equating of a gay sex orientation with nicotine intake) The comparison of homosexuality to the use of addictive substances implies that homosexuals don't exist—only "flawed" heterosexuals. This idea isn't supported by science or philosophy.
These views evince tangible social harm. Queer teens are at a great risk of suicide. The homophobic rhetoric in the Kansan contributes to the stigma. Violence against gays and lesbians is in areas where the radical right flexes its political muscle against queer civil rights. Demeaning and dehumanizing talk of "hate the sin, love the sinner" leads to children taking their own lives and LGBT persons being murdered by a society trained to view them as less than human.
Anti-gay rhetoric equals death. It's impossible to say how many queers are effectively murdered in this way by the "religious" right each year. It's
also disgusting how many "Christian" groups on campus have bought into this hate. It brings to mind Christian hymns referring to being "washed in the blood." The only blood I see many local "Christian" awash in is the innocent blood they've taken. As long as my community is under attack, they are murderers in my eyes.
Matthew Skinta Andover senior
Faith paves way for ignorance
Mr. Chamberlain's column,
"Faith integral to philosophy and science," ("Tuesday") misses the point of philosophy and science.
There is no faith in science and philosophy. Ancient philosophers realized that to attain wisdom, one must first understand that he or she know nothing. Descartes' search for truth began with doubling everything, just to prove that he existed. Science and philosophy are methods of understanding reality. Science is the pragmatic approach to philosophical theories on reality. The advancement of science lies in doubting our answers.
There are no advancements in faith. Faith is for the weak, insecure and those who fear life and change. Faith is the root of all ignorance, tradition and closed-mindedness but not of all evil. Doubt is the root of all wisdom, progression and enlightment but not of all good. A balance is necessary. As an atheist raised by Christian missionary parents, I do not encourage you to doubt your faith if it maintains your happiness, but if you think there is more to the truth, doubt it all.

Teacher ends six-year stint at University
By Sarah Smarsh writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Mike Cuenca, a faculty member in the School of Journalism since 1994, will leave the University next week after years of tension between him, the University and the school.
Cuenca, assistant professor of journalism, will leave when his initial, six-year contract ends on Wednesday, May 16. Cuenca's departure comes in the midst of his unresolved litigation against the University.
the university.
Cuena, who is Filipino American, sued the University for racial discrimination in April of 1999. He later moved to dismiss the lawsuit to file complaints with two federal agencies, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. However, Cuena then decided to continue to pursue the lawsuit after being denied tenure last spring.
This spring, the school again denied Cuenca tenure, a decision that he maintains was motivated by racial discrimination.
Cuenca said he would continue to battle the University in the legal realm.
"Those of us who have been fighting this battle are not away," he said.
Rose Marino, associate general counsel for the University, said the University hadn't made unfair retaliations against Cuenca's legal action.
Cuneca: leaving the University after six years
Clement Hjelmgren "The University has treated him fairly, but he appears not to take the same view." Marino said.
The school has maintained that its
The school has maintained that its refusal to grant Cuenca tenure had no racial motivation, and that Cuenca's ethnicity was actually a factor in his favor when being reviewed by the faculty committee.
In February, the University's Committee on Tenure and Related Problems dismissed a complaint filed by Cuenca after he failed to provide information requested at a prehearing conference.
Cuenca said that methods of discrimination had become more sophisticated.
"We need as many voices as possible speaking out to expose those methods," he said.
case methods, he said.
Cuenca said that while he hoped to continue writing books about computer-aided design and digital imaging, his experiences at the University had motivated him to work as a social activist. Heco-founded the Kansas University Sexism and Racism Victims Coalition and founded the Civil Society Group with Cynthia Annett, lecturer in the Russian and Eastern European department, who is also pursuing a discrimination lawsuit against the University.
Keeley Thurston, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said her experiences as a student in Cuenca's visual communications class were positive. She added that it was unfortunate that he would be leaving.
"I think he was an asset to this school," Thurston said.

'Socratic' professor retires, almost

Johnson and Jackson met in 1980 in a figure drawing class at the Lawrence Art Center and founded a drawing group that met at the 500 Locust Gallery on Saturday mornings. The group is moving to
Jackson's studio and a farewell show is planned this Saturday and Sunday.
"I do hope he will have more time for writing and drawing. He's an amazing individual." Jackson said.
Johnson said he wanted to spend more time with his wife, Mary, a French and Latin teacher at Bishop Seabury Academy, 1411 E. 1850 Rd., and their children, Anne and Stephen, who recently moved back to Lawrence.
Johnson and his family have lived in the same house since they moved to Lawrence from Wisconsin in the fall of 1968.
"We very quickly put down roots. We're not going anywhere," he said. "I hope someday, when all universities are connected to the Internet, KU could be a place where people still wander around Mount Oread."

Learning to cook, budgeting for meals not always easy

finally figured out how to do it right."
With a few weeks of school left to go, Megan Snulbuck is just figuring out her oven.
The Overland Park sophomore has scorned just enough batches of chocolate chip cookies to figure out the precise timing needed to bake perfectly golden brown treats.
fetty goes to make chocolate chip cookies several times, but our oven is a little off so they would always burn," Spielbusch said. "Now I know that I have to use it 50 degrees cooler at a certain time and use a special pan and a certain recipe. and I love
After living in the dorms her first year, Spiibush moved into an apartment last August with no cooking experience. She didn't head straight for a fast-food window, but instead stole some pots and pans from her parents and picked up some musty cookbooks from garage and book sales and let the cooking games begin.
"I didn't cook meat at all before I left home," Spielbusch said, "the cookbook explained stuff like how to defrost it correctly and not to leave raw chicken on the counter. But I still make mistakes."
But she lives with her mistakes because on a tight student budget, she can't pay for anything else.
"It's really too expensive to eat out the time, so I bought groceries," Spielbusch said. "I tried the cookbooks for awhile, but right now I'm making macaroni and cheese and eating frozen fish sticks, so I don't really know if they worked or not."
Ann Chapman, a registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that fast food or quick-mix foods, like macaroni and cheese and fish sticks, were a common pitfall for most college students, just as for Spielbuch.
students.
"I think there's more freedom so they tend to make their own decisions," Chapman said. "And many students don't really know how to prepare food correctly, so it seems much easier to them to just get fast food."
Jordan Tucker, Kingman junior, shares that sentiment.
"I actually enjoy cooking but I don't have the resources around so usually I will go out," Tucker said.
And, unlike Spielbuch, he would rather spend that money on food even though he said he should take a closer look at the money aspect.
I guess it's just a crazy thing like you're spending $5 at a as opposed to $100 all at once, then you think you're being cheap, but you're really not." Tucker said. "I don't buy anything at all, so I just spend money on food."
Money issues aside, Chapman said that when choosing fast food, not all were created equally.
"Chinese is a healthy alternative," Chapman said. "But really I think that if they would stock up on healthier foods like that then they wouldn't give into fast food."
However, Spielbusch said that health wasn't at the top of the list when she does go grocery shopping.
"My priority is usually cheapness, so cheapness and cost are the main factors," Spielbusch said. "But if green beans are on sale then I buy it."
But she can't guarantee that her stove won't scorch the green beans.
"The thing's got a mind of it's own," she said.

CREATING DIVERSITY
Continued from page 1A
the only determining factors in admissions. One reason for that is that minorities of scoring lower than White students on the LSAT exam, Reitz said.
"If there's a minority student who applies, that is a huge bonus in terms of what they can add to the classroom," she said.
Adverse family or financial backgrounds are often a reason for lower
scores, but conquering those disadvantages can also make minority students more attractive law school applicants. Reitz said that people who had to grow up dealing with poverty or tough, urban sur-
oundings brought an understanding of their different world to the law school.
Reitz is determined that diversity continue not as an optional but a vital characteristic of the law school. Her vision is a learning environment where students have "the comfort zone challenged" and where they will "have to understand anyone's perspective."
Alex Harris does not contest the value of diversity. However, as a White applicant on the KU law school waiting list, she expressed concern about an admissions policy that could put minorities ahead of her when she had better grades and test scores.
"I think that diversity is essential, but not to the detriment of other applicants," said Harris, who finished her undergraduate degree at the University in December. "Everybody should have an equal chance despite what their background is," she said. "If you make it race-conscious, then you're putting a lot of people at a disadvantage."
For Harris, equal opportunity is paramount. She said she strongly believed applicants should be strictly
judged on the basis of the
"If somebody was admitted based not on qualifications, but rather on race, that is basically negating the point of working hard for your qualifications."
judged on the basis of the qualifications they worked to achieve.
"If somebody was admitted based not on qualifications, but rather on race, that is basically negating the point of working hard for your qualifications," she said.
Reitz carefully clarified that, even though diversity was a plus for a candidate, different standards were not used for admission of Whites as opposed to minority applicants.
y
in successful lawsuits against a number of U.S. universities.
IT'S THE LAW
Reitz's concerns are well founded. Race-conscious admissions have resulted
"To make a statement like we compare numbers differently for minority and nonminority students would be exposing our organization to liability," she said, reflecting the concerns of schools who fear reverse discrimination lawsuits.
In the last decade, colleges around the nation have suffered reverse discrimination lawsuits resulting in courts and governmental bodies banning the use of race in college admissions. The most recent blow against affirmative action was in March when a federal district judge in the 6th circuit ruled that the race-conscious

admissions policy of the University of Michigan was unconstitutional
Before that, voter referrends in California and Washington also barred the

use of race in college admissions. A district court decided the same thing for Texas in 1996, after a White student who was not admitted to the University of Texas law school filed a reverse discrimination suit.
But Reginald Robinson, associate professor of law and counsel to KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway, explained that there was no nationwide bar against affirmative action. The Supreme Court's latest ruling on the issue established that quotas were unconstitutional, but diversity was a compelling enough interest for colleges to use race as one factor in admissions. The ruling came in 1978, when a White male rejected applicant sued the University of California at Davis medical school, claiming reverse discrimination.
Robinson said that there was no case law in the 10th circuit, which included Kansas, inconsistent with the Bakke decision.
"A university in the 10th circuit can use Bakke and argue that they can use race in admissions." Robinson said.
However, the rulings in Michigan and Texas suggest that reverse discrimination suits could ultimately overturn the Bakke standards, he said. Robinson explained that a White applicant claiming discrimination because of their race could argue it violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits discrimination on grounds of race. In such a case, he said, a college's use of race would have to undergo a "two-part strict scrutiny test," first attempting to prove that diversity is a compelling university interest and then that race-conscious admissions were the only way to assemble a diverse student body.
it is around the same level as the percentage of KU undergraduates.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE
"I wish we had more minority applicants to the school," he said.
Parker Lessig, admissions officer for the school of business, is not satisfied with his school's minority percentage, although
KU
The school of business guarantees admission to students with a 3.0 GPA in specific business courses. However, Lessig said, the school also allows a small percentage of positions available, about 10 percent, for what he called "extenuating circumstances."
2. 6 percent
STATE OF KANSAS
Lessig said extenuating circumstances could be an adverse background or a tragic incident that could have affected a student's academic performance. He said that race in itself was not an extenuating circumstance, but it could sometimes tie in with a student's disadvantaged background.
He said race would not cause a student to be viewed more favorably as a candidate.
SAME IS NOT EQUAL
"If it came down to a minority student and a White student who were comparable, rather than admitting one of them, I would admit them both," he said.
In such a case, space constraints would not be an issue.
5. 7 percent
680
Renate Mai-Dalton, associate professor of business, shares Lessig's goal. However, she said, "The same treatment is not equal treatment."
154,198
"I would squeeze," he said.
"Affirmative action is necessary in this country because we have not gone far enough yet to not see color and ethnic differences," said Mai-Dalton, who founded a tutoring and mentoring program in the school of business that recruits freshman and transfer students with African American, Hispanic and Native American backgrounds.
Mai-Dalton said her goal was to prepare students to enter the school of business in terms of "emotional maturity" and to make students of color feel
"It's not a remedial program," she said. "This is not a program for students that would otherwise fail."
welcome.
"We are a predominantly
White institution," she said. "When the students come here—particularly students who come from African-American, Hispanic-American, Native-American communities — for them it's like being in a foreign country," Mai-Dalton said. "There is not the same need for White students, because they're not in a strange environment as much as these students." She said increasing diversity worked in the favor of the White majority'as well.
"This isn't a one way street," she
said, "The demographics in this country have changed during the last 10 or 20 years, and graduates of this University will be working in diverse corporations. If our students do not understand what it means, they will not be effective."
Florence Boldridge and her colleagues in the KU School of Engineering maintain that the very competitive nature of the program requires that the school sets clear-cut admissions standards.
NO EXCEPTIONS
"You either have what it takes on you're not with us," said Boldridge, director of diversity programs for the school. "It's far too strenuous an area to have students failing."
Thomas Mulinazzi, associate dean of engineering, agreed.
"Wedn't look at race," Mulinazziisaid. "If by some chance an unqualified person gets in and we pass them because of their sex, their color, their religion, they can't perform in a real world. Do you want to fly in an airplane designed by an incompetent engineer?"
Mulinazi said that if minority applicants were qualified but lacked the finances, the school would make sure that they could afford to attend.
However, both said the engineering school pushed for more diversity by providing financial incentives rather than lowering standards.
To promote diversity, the school of engineering has lowered the GPA required for minority scholarships. Regular school of engineering scholarships require a 3.2 GPA, but minority scholarships require only a 2.75, Mulinañzi said.
"Some of those kids need the money really bad," he said.
PLANNING AHEAD
Another way to help minority applicants succeed alongside their White peers is not by lowering standards but by providing catch-up training to prepare them for the rigors of higher education.
Sandra McCurdy, assis-
unt itself, said the School of Medicine did not use race as an admissions factor and that the only people given priority over other applicants were Kansas residents.
However, she said the school promoted two federally funded programs, designed to bring minority undergraduates up to speed for studying medicine.
McCurdy said the school had a minority population of about 12 percent, and she was satisfied with that number.
"The percentage is about what the

Undergraduate KU admissions also feature a 10 percent "window" for applicants who do not meet minimal requirements. Cervery said.

by case basis, depending on the individual circumstances of each student.
"We do want to create a diverse student body, so diversity would be a factor to look at." he said.
He said diversity could be one factor in determining who would be admitted under that window.
He clarified that any student who did not display adequate potential for success at the University would not be admitted.
Courtney Bates BSU president
A diverse student body is a goal yet to be reached on KU's campus.
"KU must prepare student for the diverse society they will become part of," said Chancellor Robert Hemenway. "We must do better."
SEEKING DIVERSITY
"If you have two people who are going to run a race and person one has been coached by the best his entire life, he's had every opportunity for advancement, and person two has been sitting at home, has been watching television and eating junk food, and you put them in a race together, who's going to win?"
Hemenway said administrators were planning to work with Student Senate to form a Minority Commission. He said the commission would aim at increasing recruitment and retention of minority faculty and students and creating a "hospital campus for people
of color and diverse cultures"
Hemenway said he viewed minority recruitment as a form of affirmative action. "Affirmative action is an affirmative effort to make the University more representative of the society as a whole," he said. "Minority recruitment is simply one way to achieve such a goal."
She said affirmative action was not about quotas or applying lower admission standards but about helping people with disadvantaged backgrounds.
courtney Bates, president of the Black Student Union, said she was not satisfied with the minority percentage of the University.
"The goal is for the numbers of the University of Kansas to reflect the numbers for the state of Kansas, and we're falling way short of that," said Bates, Chicago sophomore.

Most students and administrators agree that increasing diversity is a primary goal in the University, not just to help those minorities with underprivileged backgrounds, but also to expose the White majority to the same demographics and cultural variety as their future workplace.
"Our students need to be educated for the world out there, not for Lawrence, Kan," Mai-Dalton said.
However, many of those "risks", such as Lane, succeed.
Although most KU admissions officers say race is something they look at when evaluating a candidate, almost all also say that admitting a candidate who does not fulfill formal requirements is taking a risk for potential failure.
Lane took advantage of her opportunity. Today, she is doing well academically and is a leader in KU's Black community as president of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a traditionally African-American sorority.
Looking back, she says it took her
says writing was her area that needed the most improvement but that interaction with students more advanced than her and extra study time helped her reach the academic level of her peers by the end of her freshman year.
Reflecting on her high school environment, she said people with backgrounds like hers who applied to a university were already showing potential for success.
"The college application is not just put your name and sign it, it's a process to fill it out," she said. "Anybody who is willing to go through that should be given a chance."

Sports Columnist
Alan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Davis is a *topica* graduate student in journalism.
To help keep student-athletes who appear to have a future in the professional ranks, universities should help the student athletes buy insurance policies covering injuries.
Columnist offers ideas on improving college sports
All good things don't necessarily have to come to an end, but my position as a columnist this semester does. In this, what may very well be my last column, I would like to make some observations that I believe would positively affect college sports.
Skipping college is very common in baseball. It should not be any different in basketball or football. Baseball teams draft players after the high school level, and if a player decides to reject professional baseball, he can go to college. He can also do this if he is drafted while in college.
It also works in reverse. An example: Florida State quarterback Chris Weinke played professional baseball before joining the Florida State football team.
First, I think we should admit we are fighting a losing battle in trying to keep student-athletes such as basketball players DeShawn Stevenson and Paul Pierce and football players such as Michael Vick from staying in school for four years — or as in Stevenson's case attending college at all — before turning pro.
I'm not talking about just health insurance; I'm talking about insurance to cover lost income if the student-athlete is injured and, as a result, loses out on playing at the next level. This type of coverage might encourage some student-athletes to stay in school and mature another year instead of turning pro. The worry of blowing out a knee and missing out on a lucrative contract might be a little less if a $3 million insurance navy would be there.
Lester Earl, whose injuries probably prevented him from becoming the type of player a lot of people thought he could be, could have been a beneficiary of this. So, perhaps, could Luke Axtell — if his injuries make it impossible for him to play at the next level.
Second. I would like to see women's basketball switch to a nine-foot high basket instead of using the men's 10-foot high hoop — just so women can dunk. Some women can dunk on a 10-foot basket, but they are few and far between. Lowering the hoop to a dunkable level would make some women more exciting players as well as making the women's game more exciting.
Imagine watching women gracefully dunking off of lob passes, reverse slam-dunking and gorilla dunking like Shaquille O'Neal.
Despite the logistical problems of coming up with quality nine-foot hoops and switching back and forth between 10-foot and nine-foot high hoops, I think lowering the basket should still be considered.
Anyway, those are a few of the things I noticed and would like to change. Perhaps in the future I will have an opportunity to espouse those views in a forum where change is likely to occur. Right now, I just need to find a way to make some money when I finally graduate.
Another change I would like to see is women's fast pitch softball increasing the distance between bases from the present 60 feet to about 70 to 75 feet. The field is just too small.
Women's basketball already uses a smaller ball to accommodate women's smaller hands. Anyone who has watched a good women's team knows the skill with which the women play the game. They dribble behind their backs — like men. They dribble between their legs and demonstrate exceptional ball-handling skills with both hands — like men. Adding dunking could only make their game more exciting.
Because the bases are so close together, ground ball double plays are rare. Making the bases farther apart would change that, although it would also leave bigger holes in the infield for ground ball singles. It would also leave room for base runners to take a lead, which they can't do now. This would change the way fast pitch is played, but change can be good.
Full-count finale
Jayhawks' final seed awaits 'Huskers, Tigers games
By Brent Briggeman sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team will look to end its regular season on a high note this weekend as it plays three conference games in just two days.
"It will be mentally draining to play so many big games in such a little amount of time," said senior captain Erin Garvey. "But if we can be mentally tough, our bodies will follow along."
Seeding in the conference tournament will be at stake for the 'Hawks (30-23 and 9-6). If they win at least two of the games, they will be assured of a three seed in the tournament. If they should lose two games, they will fall to the four seed. If they lose all three, they will fall into a tie with Oklahoma State for fourth.
The Cowboys own the tiebreaker with the 'Hawks, so Kansas would lose a bye and be forced to play on the first day.
If the games are rained out, they won't be made up. If that's the case, the Hawks would remain in third place.

"In a way it's not going to make a huge difference," said Clopton, who is in his first season with Kansas. "Either way we know we're going to play tough teams in the tournament."
With the three games packed into two days, the 'Hawks will need help from their entire pitching staff. Freshman Kara Pierce has started the majority of the conference games for Kansas, including five of the past six. With three games in two days, sophomore Kirsten Milhoan and junior Kelly Campbell will be expected to handle some important innings.
Clopton said a rotation for the weekend wasn't set, but Pierce definitely wouldn't throw all three games.
Nebraska is powered by a strong pitching staff. The Huskers are holding opposing hitters to a .164 batting average and have given up slightly more than one and a half runs per game.

"We just want to finish the season on a high note," she said.
Tomorrow's doubleheader against Nebraska will begin at 1 p.m. at

Senior Day same as Garvey Day
By Brent Briggeman
Erin Garvey will stand alone tomorrow afternoon. As the only senior on the Kansas softball team, Senior Day may as well be Erin Garvey Day.
But Garvey isn't complaining, because she has positioned the only earlier on the team.
Three years ago, no one would have guessed that Garvey would be the only senior.
"I'm not really looking forward to standing out there and having everyone looking at me," said Garvey, who plays outfield for the Jayhawks.
But Garvey isn't complaining, because she has enjoyed being the only senior on the team. Three years ago, no one would have guessed
Kansas signed three scholarship players from the high school senior class of '97. All three players left the program following their sophomore year.
Lezli Leathers transferred to Oklahoma State, Jessica Kowal left for the University of South Florida and Heather Chambers decided to stay at Kansas, but wanted to devote all of her time to studying.
As they left, Garvey arrived at Kansas — her third school in three years.
Her career started at Alabama, where she played under former Kansas coach Kalum Haack. It took her just one year to return home to her native Kansas.
"I just didn't like it down there," said Garvey, who said she didn't get along with Haack. "It was sort of a typical freshman year, I got along with everybody else, just not him."
KU 12
After a knee injury cut her freshman season short, Garvey decided to put her softball career behind her and enroll at Johnson County Community College.
After a year away from the sport, Garvey gave football one more try.
She came to Lawrence and walked on to the team. After playing sparingly as a sophomore, she suffered another knee injury that required her second surgery in just more than two years.
"I would have been saying 'what if every day to myself had I not come back.' Garvey said.

Three Big 12 Conference track teams and one entry from the Mountain West Conference will prepare for their postseason competitions during a final meet in Lincoln, Neb.
Kansas, along with Kansas State, Nebraska and Wyoming will compete in a one-day, scored quadrangular meet tomorrow at noon at the Ed Weir Track and Field Stadium.
Distance coach Doug Clark said the Husker Invitational was an important meet for the Jayhawks.
"This is our last competition before the conference meet at Texas A & M," Clark said. "Basically, we are going to go to
Nebraska and try to compete really well and set the tone for conference, which is two weeks later."

ranked in the NCAA. Senior Andy Tate is the team's lone automatic qualifier, making the cut in the 3,000-meter steeple-chase. Juniors Ryan Speers, shot put, and Andrea Bulat, javelin, have provisionally qualified for their respective events.
Several other Jayhawks said they planned to set marks that would put them
in contention for a chance to compete at the NCAA Championships on Wednesday, May 30 through Saturday June 2 in Eugene, Ore.
"Hopefully, if I jump the way I want to,
it will take the pressure off of Big 12."

"The provisional is 17-4 1/2, but I think it

Hull also said that the concept of a scored meet this late in the season would help the Javhawks.
"You definitely go in there pumped up a little more at the scored meets." Hull said. Junior Katy Elsemenger, who competes in the 800, 1,500 and 4x800-relay events, said this weekend's meet would get the team ready for the Big 12 Conference Championships, May 17-20 in
College Station, Texas.
"The scored meet changes things a little because it makes you want to compete harder for the rest of the team," Eisenmenger said. "It will be interesting to see how we match up against these teams."
Clark said the Jayhawks final regular season competition had some very good teams involved, including K-State, which is ranked 22nd in Trackwire's women's Top 25 poll.
"This should be an extremely competitive meet," Clark said. "Nebraska, Kansas State and Wyoming all have quality programs, and this should provide us a great competitive opportunity for everybody involved."
The Cornhuskers won last year's meet.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Basketball coach Kevin Stallings agreed to new contract terms with Vanderbilt on Wednesday.
Stallings' gets raise in replacement contract
Stallings signed a fiveyear deal when he left Illinois State for Vanderbilt two years ago. After his inaugural season, the university added a year to the contract.

That contract was replaced Wednesday with a new one that extends through the 2005-06 sea.
son and reportedly pays him more money.
Stalling's salary and incentives were not made public; Vanderbilt is not required to release the information because it is a private university.
The old contract paid Stallings $500,000 a year, according to media accounts. The new contract was expected to pay him at least $700,000 annually.
"My family, staff and I are very appreciative of the support we have received," Stallings said in a statement.
Stallings led the Domodores to a 19-11 record in his first year and last season, a team dominated by freshmen finished 15-15.
Stallings was an assistant at Kansas from 1989-1993.

Sooner cornerback injured in car accident
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma corner back Michael Thompson was hospitalized in critical condition yesterday following a single-vehicle accident in Norman, authorities said.
Q
Thompson was undergoing surgery at University Hospital after suffering broken bones and other injuries in the accident around 1 p.m., hospital representa
Norman police said the pickup truck Thompson was driving struck a tree while traveling about 70 mph in north Norman.
No other details were immediately available.
tive Gay Conner said.
Thompson, from Bristow, will be a junior this season. He played in all 13 games for the national champions in 2000. He had 61 tackles, one interception, broke up 13 passes, forced one fumble and recovered another.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On what he said was a $400 bet, a man jumped onto the field in Kansas City yesterday and broke his ankle.
Man fractures ankle jumping onto field
Michael Orschlin, a 22-year-old from Warrensburg, Mo., jumped over the railing in the bleachers during the ninth inning of the Royals' 9-4 loss to Cleveland. He tried to get up, but managed only to crawl a few feet.
"When he tried to get up and run, I could see his foot dancing," said Cleveland relief pitcher Bob Wickman. "I thought we're going to

thought we're going to
be here a while. He probably went into shock."
Play was stopped for about 15 minutes while stadium personnel strapped Orschlin onto a stretcher and carried him away. He
was diagnosed with a compound fracture.
Orshln, who faces a fine of up to $1,000 for a trespass charge, is the third spectator this year who has made the 1.2-foot leap over the guard rail onto Kauffman Stadium's warning track.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"He said he didn't realize it was so high before he jumped," said Cleveland shortstop Omar Vizquel, who chatted with the man while he lav on the turf.
During the home opener, a man broke a foot and fractured his spine.
"He said he had a bet with a friend for $400 that he wouldn't jump. The ankle was all twisted in an irregular way. He didn't want to look at it."
Another man jumped out of the right-field bleachers Tuesday night and appeared to be injured. But the Royals said he was unhurt when he
was led away by police.
"Maybe we're not entertaining enough, so people have to entertain themselves," Kansas City outfielder Dee Brown said.

Vikings' Carter done after one more season
F
The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver, second to Jerry Rice in receptions and touchdown catches, made the announcement Wednesday night
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — Cris Carter, one of only two players in NFL history with more than 1,000 receptions, plans to retire after this season. The Middletown Journal reported yesterday.
SCORPIO
during a banquet speech in Middletown, where he was a high school star.
"Just where everything began, right here in
Middletown, I think that, at this point, I'm going to make the announcement that this will be my last year of playing," Carter said, according to the newspaper.
The 35-year-old Carter had previously said he would return for at least one more season, but he had not announced when he would retire.
Mitchell Frankel, Carter's agent, said Carter has discussed retirement with him several times during the last couple years.
"It's hard for me to tell what this means," Frankel said. "It wouldn't surprise me if he said he was 100 percent sure he was retiring at the end of the year. But it also wouldn't surprise me if he was just saying that, as of today, he thought he'd be retiring at the end of the year."

Four tennis players head to NCAAs
By Aaron Johnson sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
The season will continue for four members of the Kansas men's tennis team as Quentin Blakeney, Pete Stroer, Rodrigo Echagary and Elearar Magallan qualified for the NCAA Individual Championships.
Blakeney qualified for the 64-player NCAA Division I singles championships as well as a spot in the doubles competition with partner Pete Stroer.
Partners Rodrigo Echagarry and Eleazar Magallan also were selected for the doubles competition. Blakeney (34-16), a junior from Charlotte, N.C., enters the NCAA Championships on a 10-game winning streak.
Blakeney has won 19 of his last 20 matches and has collected the most singles wins in a season since Craig Wildey recorded a 35-17 mark in 1987-88.
Blakeney said the Jayhawks were excited about the qualification.
"I'm going to play my heart out and represent KU the best I can in the singles draw," Blakeney said. "We also had two doubles teams make it and we'll go play our hearts out and try to advance as far as we can."
Blakeney also impressed in
The two also enter the match on a winning streak that stands at three and includes a win against the No. 14 ranked team of Trace Fielding and Jimmy Honey, of Texas Christian
doubles competition, earning a 25-11 record with partner Pete Stroer. The tandem is ranked No. 50 in the nation in part to three victories against Top 40 opponents.

Echagaray and Magallan posted a 13-9 doubles record after a very impressive start.

TENNIS
the tandem defeated the nation's No. 10 and No. 3-ranked teams on back-to-back days at the Rolex National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships on Feb. 2-3.
The Fall 2000 Region V doubles champions, Echagaray and Magallan are currently ranked 31st in the country in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll.
Magallan said NCAAs provide a very good opportunity for success.
"There are a lot of chances to do well in the tournament," Magallan said. "We are going to
put everything on the table and hopefully do well."
The Kansas men's tennis team did not qualify for the NCAA Championships despite earning a 15-11 record overall.
Coach Nwachukwu said he was disappointed the team did not qualify for the team competition but was excited about the singles players' chances.
"Those guys can compete with anyone in the nation," Nwachukwu said. "And they can beat anyone in the nation if they play the way they are capable of playing."
Blakeen also said he was disappointed the team didn't qualify for the NCAA team championships considering the men's tennis team was discontinued in March.
"We were hoping to make the team tourney, but it didn't happen. I feel bad for the freshmen who won't get a chance to experience the tournament," Blakeney said. "I really wanted to make it in my last year. We had our chances during the season, but we just didn't come through when we had opportunities."
The NCAA Championships will be held Saturday May 19 through Monday, May 28, at Athens, Ga.

Seniors suit up for the last time against K-State

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team knows that it won't be playing in the postseason this year, but this weekend the Jayhawks have the chance to ruin another team's chances.
Starting with today's 4 p.m. game in Manhattan, the Jayhawks (21-29 overall and 5-22 in the Big 12 Conference) take on in-state rival Kansas State (24-24 and 9-15) in a three-game series and will attempt to knock the Wildcats out of contention for the Big 12 Conference postseason tournament. The Wildcats sit in seventh place at 9-15 and probably need at least two victories against the Jayhawks to qualify for the postseason.
"Our teams have never gotten along," said senior John Nelson, referring to the rivalry held between Kansas and Kansas State. "The games with them are always a lot of fun, and there will be a lot of pride involved."
For seniors Nelson, Brent Del Chiaro, Jesse Greminger, Sam Gish, Eric Thompson and Pete Smart, the Kansas State series will mark the last time they wear a Jayhawk uniform in conference play. Kansas coach Bobby Randall said that despite the hard times the seniors suffered through their years at Kansas, this year's seniors meant the world to him.
"It's going to be sort of bittersweet this week." Randall said. "These seniors are exceptional men and have given their all while they've been here. I'm soproud of them."
One senior that won't have the option of suiting up this weekend is injured senior outfielder Doug Dreher. Randall said Dreher's injury killed the Jayhawks during the season.
"Doug's such a great player and such a great guy," Randall said. "Who knows how many more games we might have won if he was in the lineup?"
Smart will take the mound against the surging Wildcats in today's office. He'll be facing a red-hot Kansas State club that has swept UCLA and Missouri the past two weekends.
Randall said the rivalry between the Jayhawks and Wildcats makes this weekend special, regardless of each team's record.
"This is so special for the guys who are from Kansas," Randall said. "In a way, I think that the rivalry is bigger for Kansas State because we have to worry about rivaries with them and Missouri. But the rivalry is big between the two schools."
The two teams will return to play games Saturday and Sunday in Lawrence. Junior Doug Lantz takes the mound for Kansas in Saturday 7 p.m. game at Hoglund Ballpark. Gish will start Sunday's 2 p.m. finale.

Once again, the network managed to keep the show's winner a secret, despite filming last fall.
This time, fewer people were trusted with the secret. The final votes were to be counted live on the air yesterday; even the contestants weren't sure who would take the $1 million prize.
Host Jeff Probst carried a container with the final votes into a Los Angeles studio for the count.

I MAY BARF ON YOU.

While not the phenomenon the original Survivor was last summer, the series has been a ratings giant again — and a giantkiller against NBC on Thursday nights. CBS already has plans for a third edition to air in the fall.
I'm sorry, I cannot provide any text content. Please let me know if there's anything else you need.
"Oh, my God," she exclaimed after winning the 4-3 vote.
NEW YORK — Tina Wesson,
the sweet-talking nurse from
Tennessee, joined Richard
Hatch in the Survivor million-
aires club yesterday.
Sweet-talking nurse wins Survivor prize
MAY BARF
ON YOU.
The Associated Press
The 40-year-old mother of two from Knoxville outlasted Colby Donaldson, the heartthrob Texan, to become a future popculture trivia answer as the winner of the Outback edition of television's favorite game show.
Wesson watched live in a Los Angeles studio as the votes from fellow contestants were counted and she was the winner.
Nor was the final show as dramatic as the summer's ending, with Susan Hawk's now-legendary "rats and snakes" speech. The closest was when Jerri Manthey said both Wesson and Donaldson had manipulated others to get to where they were.
"I want them to look at what they've been forced to become in this game versus who they claim to be in their real lives," she said.
Donaldson, 27, said he enabled Wesson to join him in the final two because they became very close in the Outback. Famie, the chef who couldn't cook rice to anyone's satisfaction, was voted out after losing the final immunity challenge — a trivia quiz about the ousted contestants.
"I never thought I could get this far," Wesson said when she was one of the three remaining contestants with Donaldson and Keith Famie, the chef from West Bloomfield, Mich.
Oddsmakers had installed Wesson as the slight favorite going into the final night. She smiled sweetly, spoke with a twang but manipulated quietly until she was the last woman standing.
Her fellow contestants knew better, praising her strategy in surviving although Donaldson won five straight immunity challenges.
"She really played the game," said fellow contestant Alicia Calaway. "It wasn't winning seven or eight challenges to get this far. It was using her brain. She's a smart woman and I think she deserves it."

Golfers respect range
By John Domoney
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Golf is a sport of fancy objects that can catch the spectator's eye and dazzle his or her imagination into believing that everything in the sport is as polished at the players' spikes and as shiny as a dependent five.
For every polished pair of spikes and sparkling iron, though, there is still that one place in golf that is most dear to every true and pure golfer — the driving range.
KU golf
Yes, the driving range is the place where arms are made sore from the repetition of the golf swing and championships are won from the endless hours of hitting every club from the lofted wedge to the powerful driver.
Still, no matter how boring the thought of driving range can be, it is often the subject of many memories for many golfers.
"When I was in high school, I worked at one," said Ross Randall, Kansas men's golf coach. "I picked up balls at night, and I got to practice there. All of my buddies from my high school team hung out there."
Although Randall was limited to hitting on the range around his work hours, others build their entire schedule around the range.
"I didn't start playing golf until I was 13, said senior Conrad Roberts. "I was bored one
I went up to the range with my dad. I went up every Saturday when I was 13 from 7:30 in the morning until dark at 8:30 or 9."
For most, a trip to the driving range means following a certain set of common rules that every golfer should know before they begin to make the range their second home.
It is generally accepted and held true by Randall that the golfer should always start off hitting with the higher numbered clubs and wedges and work toward the long irons and various woods.
It isn't uncommon, however, for a golfer to work on a specific club or shot for a longer period of time than, the other clubs or types of shots.
For Randall this is more efficient because a player can gain more from repetition than simply playing a round of golf.
"It's obviously most fun to hit extra shots on the golf course, but you usually can't do that because you'll hold up play." Randall said.
At the range, golfers often challenge themselves and each other to friendly wagers on numerous games that make practice entertaining and in the process aid their development.
"When I was young, we always would play games to see who could hit the yardage signs placed on the range." Randall said.

Garvey says goodbye at final home games
"At that point I was going to give it up," she said. "But I decided to stick with it. I'm so glad I did."
She recovered from the injury, earned a scholarship and has been in Kansas' starting ever since.
Before the season began, she was voted as a team captain along with junior Shelly Musser.
"I was a little unsure about how she'd be as a captain," said Kansas head coach Tracy Bunge. "But she's really surprised me. She's not afraid to get on people when they need it."
Even Garvey has been surprised by her leadership abilities.
"That's something you just don't see a lot of girls; do most will worry too much about whose feelings they're going to hurt. She just tells it like it is."
"I've learned that I'm a lot more mentally tough than I thought," she said. "And I've learned to control my emotions because I always need to
bestrongforeveryoneelse."
Not only has Garvey developed into a leader off the field, she's turned into one of the 'Hawks' top hitters.
Using a slap-hitting style from the left side of the plate, Garvey has beat out a lot of infield hits. Though she has only two extra-base hits, she leads the team with 52 hits and a .325 batting average.
Tomorrow's doubleheader against Nebraska will be Garvey's last opportunity to play at Jayhawk Field. She said she'll try to approach it like any other game.
"I'm sure it'll hit me when the game's over," she said.
Assistant coach Aaron Clopton is excited to see Garvey recognized for her contribution to the team.
"With the road she's been through, I think it's awesome that she gets to have her own day," Clopton said. "I hope he gets to soak up as much of that day as possible and I hope it’s as perfect as can be. She deserves it."

Intramurals gets new programs for fall
By Steve Laurenzo
By Steve Laurenzo sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The spring intramural season has all but come to a close.
The two-club golf tournament is tomorrow. All other events were completed by Wednesday. Wrestling, softball, and ultimate Frisbee enjoyed their usual success despite numerous forfeits. Three-on-three soccer continued its surprising success despite venue and time changes. Tennis and racquetball doubles saw low numbers similar to last year's figures.
next year, involvement is expected to increase in most events. This is because all events taking place within University facilities will be free to all students. Instead of specific costs associated with each sport, all students will
be assessed a recreation services fee along with regular semester costs.
These additional costs were voted in on a referendum approved by the students two years ago. The main goal of the fee is to pay for the new Student Recreation and Fitness Center. This new system of funding intramural sports is part of the budget as well.
"I would be more likely to participate in a few of the events if I knew they were already paid for," said Lance Arvidson, Wichita senior.
ream sports costs are relatively low, but collecting the money is usually harder than finding players.
"I've been asked before to play softball and basketball, but the teams always fell through," Arvidson said. "If all you had to do was sign up, I think a lot more people would play."
Because there are no specific costs,
Recreation services also has plans for two new services in the fall. These have been designed to accommodate the changing needs of the students.
forfeit fees will be enforced. Events that seem free are more often neglected.
First, they will open a satellite fitness center in the Burge Union. Located in the top level of Burge, where the computer store is now, the fitness center will offer another way for students to stay in shape.
"The center will be open throughout the day and be outfitted with some of the most up-to-date equipment on the market," said Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services. "It is our goal to try out different types of equipment and get student input on their likes and dislikes in anticipation of the new recreation center."
The space is small but will provide an
updated supplement to what is available in Robinson. The facility will open early in the fall semester.
"We foresee things such as a bike repair station, raquet restreaking, in-line skate rental, possible canoe rental and much more," Krone said.
Second, recreation services will replace the Wilderness Discovery program, operating out of the basement of the Kansas Union with the new Outdoor Pursuits program. The program will offer outdoor rental equipment such as tents, sleeping bags and coolers. Additionally, educational sessions on subjects like low-impact camping and bike repair might be offered. The program is being built from the ground up and specifics will be available in the fall.

Cleveland bests Royals in three-game sweep
The Associated Press
KANSASCITY, Mo. — Cleveland manager Charlie Manuel knew Dave Burba was struggling. But he didn't know why.
"I've had the flu," Burba said yesterday after pitching the Indians against the Kansas City Royals 9-4 for a three-game sweep.
Burba (4-1) won his four straight start despite allowing four runs and nine hits in 6-13 innings. Steve Karsay and Bob Wickman combined for one-
hit shutout relief.
"Today was a little better," he said. "Then, when I started throwing, I kind of got weak, got tired and a little dizzy. But I got through it."
R
Royal
age of 30-60 and Ruby Lofton had a single, double and two-run triple for Cleveland, which outscored the Royals 30-10 in the series.
Gonzalez had six RBI in the series and
has 12 in 26 games. Marty Cordova had eight RBI in the series.
Kansas City came in with just 16 errors, its lowest total after 27 games, but second baseman Luis Alicea made two errors, and center fielder Irana仁豆 and pitcher Jason Grimsley made one each, leading to five unearned runs.
"That was three ugly ones in a row." Royals manager Tony Muser said. "There's no way to hide it or describe it. Three ugly baseball games."
Dan Reichert (3-2), who had won his
previous three decisions, give up seven runs — three earned — and seven hits in five innings. He is 0-2 against Cleveland with a 16.00 ERA.
Notes: The Indians totaled seven runs in the first innning during the series, raising their season total to 30 in 26 games. Kansas City's Carlos Beltran left in the second innning because of tightness in his left hamstring and was replaced in center field by Ibanez. ... The Royals turned three double plays for the second day in a row and took the AL lead with 29.
Cubs pitching staff at odds with Gordon
CHICAGO — It took just three days in Chicago for Tom Gordon to get upset with the Cubs.
After making his first regular-season appearance since Oct. 3, 1999, Gordon said he wanted

be the Cubs' full-time closer and didn't want to rest between appearances.

"We're having a little problem because. I didn't come here to sit
out there in the bulpen. If that's the case, I'd rather leave," said Gordon, who spent the last 16 months rehabilitation after reconstructive elbow surgery.
Gordonalso said there was no need for a confrontation with Cubs manager Don Bayler.
Andy MacPhail, the Cubs president and general manager, said he was aware of Gordon's comments. But he also said it was up to Baylor and pitching coach Oscar
"I just need to pitch, or I need to go." Gordon said.
Gordon's agent, Rick Thurman, did not return a phone call seeking comment. Gordon was activated Tuesday after starting the season on the disabled list with a strained right triceps.
The Cubs didn't exactly miss Gordon. Jeff Fassero saved nine games for the Cubs, tying Danny Graves for the NL lead. Chicago is 16-11 and leads the NL Central.
Gordon was the AL's top closer in 1998, saving 46 games for Boston. But he began having elbow problems and missed most of the 1999 season before having elbow surgery. He sat out all last year recuperating.
Because Gordon has been out for so long, Baylor said he probably wouldn't use the right-hander in back-to-back games right away, giving him time to adjust and build up his strength. He also said he would continue to use Fassero as a closer.
In one inning yesterday, Gordon struck out two and gave up one hit.

Doctors say restful nights are essential during finals
By Lvi Regenbau
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The pressure is on as finals time approaches. Many students are cramming for final examinations and trying to find ways to handle stress.
Randall Rock, associate director for health education at Watkins Memorial Health Center, advised students not to spend all night studying and to prioritize their assignments.
"Try to keep your sleep patterns as regular as possible," he said. "If you alter the time you go to bed and the time you get up by two hours or more, it will most likely have a negative impact on your performance."
Rock said students should drink a lot of water and eat nutritional foods while preparing for finals.
He said students should not drink much caffeine because it can often create anxiety that can affect performance at test time.
Jessica Rodriguez, Lawrence freshman.
said it was been easy to juggle work and school, especially during finals. But she said she found it to be less of a problem with a supportive boss.
"Our manager has been pretty flexible around finals time." she said.
Rodriguez said she coped with stress by taking breaks and spending time with her friends.
best."
Francis DeSalvo
director of Counseling and Psychological Services
"I typically make sure that I get some down time with my friends, and that I get to do things that I want to rather than just working all the time," she said.
Francis DeSalvo, director of Counseling and Psychological Services, said it was important to get a lot of rest and to eat well before finals.
"Getting plenty of rest is what allows you to perform your best." he said.
DeSalvo said it was helpful to prepare a cram sheet, a list of all the important information from students' notes and readings.
D. J. Hilding, Lawrence freshman, said he dealt with the stress of finals by setting aside time to study for each one. He said finals were important to him but that he didn't get nervous about them.
"I take them seriously, but I don't stress out too much," he said.
Rock advised that students go to Watkins if they have health care needs as a result of stress.

Friends of the late Shyra McGee will turn out wearing purple ribbons to show love for her and support for family at a preliminary court hearing tomorrow for the man charged with involuntary manslaughter in her death.

McGee, Wichita senior, died on Feb. 4 in a two-car accident at the intersection of Sixth Street and Monterey Way.
Ann Curry, Lawrence graduate student.
made the purple ribbons and will hand them out from 1 to 4 p.m. tomorrow in front of Wescoe Hall. Curry served as a resident assistant along with McGee at Stouffer Place Apartments.
Curry said she wanted to give people the opportunity to express their support in a quiet respectful way.
She said wearing the ribbon would also be a sign of concern for the problem of drunk driving.
McGee: died in a two-car accident Feb. 4 in Lawrence.
"Our support will give a message to the court that we take this hearing and the role of Brandon Gentry in Shyra's death very seriously," Curry said.
Gentry, 30-year-old Lawrence resident, was driving the car that collided with the McGees' car in the accident that resulted in Shyra's death. Gentry has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, two charges of aggravated battery, driving under the influence, failure to obey a traffic control device and speeding.
Curry said she had initially planned to distribute the ribbons outside the court before the hearing, but she changed her mind because Shyra's husband, John McGee, thought that would not be appropriate and would attract unnecessary media attention.
John McGee could not be reached for comment.
Curry also said she wanted to make the ribbons available to friends of Shyra McGee, as well as her former residents at Stouffe Place. She said the complex's residents loved Shyra.
Amber Sellers, Wichita junior, who was a passenger in the McGees' car the night of the accident and was also injured, said she was planning on wearing a ribbon and attending the hearing.
"I'm just waiting for the court system to do what that jest is, just," she said.

Three students honored for rescuing man from river

Surprise ceremony recognizes good deed
Still, he chose not to ignore the alarm clock and sauntered into his Introduction to Drawing class 10 minutes late, dressed in a wrinkled T-shirt and hat and into a surprise ceremony in honor of him and two classmates.
Nick Erker was close to not going to his class at 8:30 a.m. Fridav.
David Amber, vice chancellor for student affairs, awarded Erker, Jason Hoffman and Andrew Baumann certificates of commendation for rescuing a Lawrence fisherman from the Kansas River on April 27.
George Weber, 80, was fishing on the Bowersock Dam at 10:22 a.m. Friday, when the dam's flashboards buckled, sending rushing water toward Weber and knocking him into the rushing river.
"The students acted swiftly and bravely to save him," Ambler said. "Your actions speak well of you, and we have great pride."
Erker, Hoffman, Baumann and 15 classmates were drawing landscape scenes near the dam when Weber fell into the river.
Hoffman, Vassar freshman, dove into the water first, followed by Erker, Wellington freshman. Once ashore, Erker and Baumann, Adrian, Mo., sophomore, performed CPR until Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical workers arrived.
Weber died at Lawrence Memorial Hospital at 8:30 p.m. that night.
"They demonstrated courage by leaping into the river," Ambler said. "That he died didn't diminish their courage."
Mark Bradford, deputy chief of fire and medical, followed Amber's complimentary words with some of his own.

impacts tremendously the importance of this incident. It's not something we see that often. They went above and beyond the call of duty."
"I've been doing CPR since I was a kid," Baumann said. "It's second nature."
After the class, Erker and Baumann chided each other about their respective wrinkled and paint-speckled outfits — truly unaware that on their last day of class, they would be standing in front of their peers in honor.
"I don't know if we deserve this," Erker said. "But I'm glad they're thinking of us."

Legislators continue work on school bill
TOPEKA — Senate and House negotiators are promising to get back to work resolving their differences on school finance.
The Senate has approved $67 million in new spending for schools, as recommended by Gov. Bill Graves in January. At stake is a bill that allocates more than $2.26 billion — nearly 52 percent of spending from the state's general fund for the fiscal year that starts July 1. The general fund is the largest source of money for state programs.
Key elements include raising base state aid per pupil by $50, to $3,870; financing special education services at 85.3 percent of excess costs; and expanding a program for poor, at-risk 4-year-olds.
Senators heavily amended a House bill to add their school finance plan and

Among the more visible changes when the Wirbita River Festival opens Friday.
A glossier, more professional image of the festival that includes an elaborate entranceway near the Century II food court, plus new logos, graphics and decorations throughout;
— A stepped-up effort, based on recommendations from a tourism consultant, to market the festival more aggressively outside of Wichita;

Officials are planning even more changes for the future, as money allows.

Psychiatrist says killer won't discuss deaths
PITTSBURGH — The first psychiatrist to interview a man who killed five people in a shooting spree last year said the shooter would discuss food, wine and Eastern European politics — but not the killings.
Dr. Laszlo Petras met Richard Baumhammers after the rampage on April 28, 2000, that left five dead and a sixth victim seriously injured. Witnesses said he appeared calm and unhurried as he fired.
Authorities said the victims were picked because of their ethnic backgrounds. They included two natives of India, two Asians, Baumhammers' Jewish neighbor and a black karate student.
Defense attorney William Difenderfer has acknowledged his client shot the victims, but has called witnesses who testified that Baumhammers suffered from a delusional disorder and believed he wasn't doing anything wrong. Petras told the jury he diagnosed Baumhammers' schizophrenia.
Fight after,KKK rally leads to eight arrests
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Eight people were arrested after a Ku Kux Klian rally when a fight broke out between members of the group and people protesting the event.
The fight broke out Saturday when officers were escorting Klansmen to their cars after the demonstration and the Klansmen said they couldn't remember where they were parked.
"That gave the crowd time to get in their way and confront them. If they
could have gone straight back to their cars, this wouldn't have happened," said Lt. David Woods of the South Bend Police Department.
Three police officers received minor injuries during the clash.
During the rally, about 30 Klan supporters or members shouted racial insults and about 150 anti-Klan protesters backed at them.
Four adult members of the American Knights of the KKK were arrested on disorderly conduct charges.
Actor hospitalized while police search his home
LOS ANGELES — Actor Robert Blake remained hospitalized yesterday while police searched for the gunman who killed his wife as she sat in their car.
Blake, 67, who had left his wife in the car while he went back to a restaurant to pick up his own handgun, checked himself into a hospital for treatment of high blood pressure Saturday and will remain there for at least two more days, said attorney Harland Braun.
Blake's wife, identified by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office as Bonny Lee Bakley, 45, was shot late Friday as she sat in a car near an Italian restaurant that Blake frequented in Studio City. Braun referred to her as Leebonney Bakley and gave her age as 44.
"He's doing fine and has it under control," Braun said. "But the doctors want to hold him a little bit longer to make sure he's OK."
Police refused to comment yesterday but previously had said Blake wasn't considered a suspect.
However, police searched Blake's house on Saturday and recovered two 9mm handguns and seized phone records and other paperwork.
FBI chief lists suspects in 1996 bomb attack
NEW YORK — FBI Director Louis Freeh has given the Bush administration a list of people he believes the United States should indict in the 1996 bombing that killed 19 American servicemen in Saudi Arabia, according to a published report.
Fresh, who announced last week that he would retire in June, briefly briefed President Bush on the case, The New Yorker reported, and told the magazine that it was "the only unfinished piece of business that I have."
The U.S. airmen were killed when a truck bomb exploded outside the Khobar Towers, their military housing complex near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
Iran initially was believed to have been involved. Saudi Arabia has yet to disclose its findings in an investigation carried out jointly with the FBI.
The report said any indictments were likely to name Iranian government officials.

Hutch workers to search for open wells
The Associated Press
HUTCHINSON The Kansas Geological Survey will train city workers to find unplugged brine wells like the ones that served as conduits for a pair of natural gas explosions earlier this year.
Beginning Monday, the Kansas Geological Survey will begin training two public works employees in the operation of a computerized electromagnetic device that officials hope will help locate as many of the wells — the estimate ranges up to 160 — as possible.
City Manager Joe Palacioz said the identification and plugging of those brine wells was essential to preventing a recurrence of the Jan. 17 and 18 explosions that claimed two lives.
It's also an estimated $9.6 million project — at $60,000 to plug each well — that will require state and federal grants to complete, Palacioz said.
micro-gravity surveying tech nique that we're looking at, present the most common-sense method, along with dollars, of searching for the wells," he said.
The electromagnetic metal detector is a "4-foot-long thing that looks like a metal 2-by-4," survey director Lee Allison said. "We've tested it with city people earlier and we think it's pretty effective in locating and identifying buried metals."
"That tool, along with a
The tool differs from a metal detector in its ability to gather underground data. Using varied frequencies, the tool produces data that can be turned by computers into a three-dimensional image. That image will tell investigators exactly where buried well casings can be found, Allison said.
The testing in Hutchinson was so successful that KGS has purchased the $15,000 electromagnetic tool, Allison said, but he cautioned that the device would have to be used in combination with other techniques to identify all the wells.
"Where we run into problems are the wells that might be under a house, underneath a concrete foundation, something like that."
Lee Allison
Kansas Geological Survey director
"Where we run into problems are the wells that might be under a house, underneath a concrete foundation, something like that," he said.
City officials are also looking at micro-gravity surveying, a more expensive operation that could lead investigators to the caverns created by the solution mining operations.
ON THE RECORD
"But it's costly," Palacioz said. "And we've been told that what we're wanting is a little on the high side of what that technique can do, so we need to determine whether this is what we want."
A KU staff member reported his car damaged in the Sunnyside Avenue and Illinois Street parking lot, the KU Public Safety Office said. The man said he backed out of a parking stall at 12:29 p.m. Tuesday when he heard a loud screeching sound from the back of his car. When he got home, he saw that the rear bumper had almost been pulled from the car. When he returned to the lot Wednesday, he saw a three-inch spike above a six-inch railroad tie being used as a curb in the parking lot. The spike had caught the rear bumper, pulling it from the car. The damage was estimated at $100.
A car hit a parked car in the Robinson Center parking lot at 9:06 a.m. Thursday, the KU Public Safety Office said. A KU student was driving in the lot when he swerved left to avoid hitting a student and instead struck a parked car. His car was not damaged, but it caught the front bumper of the parked car, nearly pulling it off. The damage was estimated at less than $500.
A Topeka woman's 1992 Taurus was damaged in the Kansas Union parking garage between 5:50 and 9:25 p.m. Wednesday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The passenger's side window, ignition and driver's side bumper were damaged. Her day planner, hub cap, purse and checkbook were stolen. The stolen goods were valued at $130, and the damage was estimated at $750.
A KU parking department employee reported being harassed by a KU student in the Hashinger Hall parking lot at 5-58 p.m. Wednesday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The employee said he was towing a car when the owner approached him and paid to have the car released. As the owner and a female acquaintance were driving away, the employee said, the acquaintance threw rocks at his truck. The employee said he would not pursue criminal charges because the truck was not damaged.

Costly travel keeps students in U.S. for break
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Junta Ikwo debated between taking a summer class and returning home for summer break. The pull of his family and friends finally won out, and he decided to make the journey home — but he may have made the decision too late.
Ikuwo is one of more than a thousand KU international students who must make their summer plans early. The cost and the availability of flights make spur-of-the-moment decisions almost impossible. International students must weigh the pros and cons of both sides and then act on their decision.
To avoid the costs of a hasty decision, ikwo, a sophomore from Kasugai, Japan, will try to fly home at the end of this month. His ticket price is holding steady at $758, including tax, which will leave a dent in his coffers. But it is a sacrifice that ikwo is willing to make to go home.
"I just miss the food so much," he said. "I will eat first and then call my friends. I usually just e-mail them."
But he is worried about the availability of flights. Most people start making plans for international travel more than two months in advance. Ikuwo contacted a Japanese travel agency in Los Angeles, but had no luck. Ikuwo is now trying his luck with a local agency.
He said working through a travel agent was "just easier."
"But," he added, "a ticket might not be available — people start planning really far advanced. I'm hoping I can go home."
Abdul Lawal, Sydney, Australia, sophomore, never doubted he would be going home at the end of this semester.
The exchange student said his experience in the United States was "OK," but he was definitely ready to go home. The weather was much cooler than he expected, and he didn't enjoy Mrs. E's food.
While he got a taste of a different culture and educational system, he couldn't wait to get his souvenirs and get on the plane — but first he has to get through finals.
"It's hard to concentrate. I'm so excited to go home." Lawal said.
orimania Diack, Dakar, Senegal, freshman, wants to go home but decided the smarter decision would be to stay. He said he wanted to ease the financial burden on his family. Instead of them sending him money, he plans to work this summer and save money for the following year.
"It's too expensive for my parents to send money from my country," he said. "I have to stay here and work. But I would like to go home."
He looks forward to next December when he can go home to spend time with his family and not have to worry about working. While he wants to go home, he said he knew this was the best thing for him.

Students can also sell donate their items

When Brett Hronke moved out of his McCollum Hall dorm room last year, he ended up taking more than just his own stuff with him.
Hronek, Olathe senior, said he was amazed at what other students were throwing away.
"There was carpet all over the place," Hronek said. "It was complete madness. People were throwing out lamps, extension cords, just everything."
Hronek said he made off with a new speaker, a night light, some carpet and a television set that needed minor repairs. He said he later sold the television set at a pawn shop for $15.
"I think a lot of people would rather just toss stuff than take it home," he
said. "They think it's too much work. I don't mind making multiple trips though. The people who just throw stuff out are losing a lot of money."
Hronek's experience was not uncommon. Every year students throw away things that could be considered valuable. There are other options though.
This year, Hronek said he posted fliers around residence halls advertising the microwave and exercise bike he was selling. He said he'd received several responses.
"This one kid offered to pay more than what I was asking," he said.
Students can also sell their used clothes and shoes at one of several second-hand stores. Arizona Trading Co., 734 Massachusetts St., Flush, located next to Java Break, 17E. Seventh St., and Sugartown Traders, 918 Massachusetts St. are allbuying summer apparel.
Likewise, the Salvation Army Thrift Store, 1818 Massachusetts St., is accepting donations of furniture and clothing.
Kate Hackett, Overland Park sophomore, said she didn't plan to sell any of

her belongings when she moves this month. Instead, she said she planned to look for bargains.
"I've heard a lot of people talking about stuff they're going to get rid of," she said.
"I just keep my ears open and try to find good deals."
Hackett last year she had found a green velvet couch. She said her friend was going to throw it away, but she offered him a dollar if she could have it.
"If's kind of 1970s, but it's actually really cool," she said. "I would have paid at least $100 for it, but I got it practically for free."
This year Hackett said she planned to walk around the residence halls on Daisy Hill and look for more bargains.
"Anything I can use, I'll take," she said.

Students, faculty smoked out of building

"You could smell electrical wires burning, and you could see smoke coming out," he said.
Firefighters responded to a report of smoke and possible fire in the Military Science Building on Friday, but found no fire.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical and University Facility Operations crews responded to a report of smoke at about 11:30 a.m. The smoke was caused by a transformer that stopped working, said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office. He said the failure caused the mechanical room and most of the lower level of the building to fill with smoke.
Ryan Evans. Towanda sophomore, said he was playing foosball on the second floor of the building before a class when the lights started to flicker and dim. He said he was told to leave the building, but he didn't think he was in danger.
But some said they didn't know there was smoke in the building.

Capt. Jim Cooper, professor of naval science, said signs of trouble appeared when the power in the building was lost.
"I assumed it wasn't that big of a

deal since no one came up yelling there was a big fire or anything," he said.
Mailen said the smoke was caused when one leg of the transformer continued to run, despite the shutdown of the rest of the transformer. Once the leg was removed the smoldering stopped.
Classes were canceled for the rest of the afternoon as a precautionary measure because of the amount of smoke still in the building.
Firefighters set up ventilation equipment to clear smoke from the building and made sure the problem wouldn't happen again.
The failure of the transformer was similar to one that caused a fire in Strong Hall last winter, Mailen said. However, since the transformer in the Military Science Building uses a dry base — and not an oil base as the Strong Hall transformer did — a fire did not start.

KU libraries to charge for laser printing
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The KU libraries will begin charging eight cents per page for printouts from the laser printers and will increase the cost of making copies by one cent per page beginning in June, said Julia Rholes, interim dean of libraries.
Currently, students are able to print for free, and copies cost seven cents with a KU card. Rholes said the libraries had had to wait until they had the technology in place for students to use KU cards at the printers. Users will only be able to pay for the printouts with KU cards or library borrower cards. Rholes said most libraries had machines to add value to the cards.
The cost increase — which Rholes said was "inevitable"— was also partly related to the University budget cuts. But she said the libraries were also catching up to other Big 12 Conference schools.
"We have been contemplating it for a while because the majority have started charging." Rholes said. "Most started off as we did just to see how it would work, but Kansas State has been charging for quite some time."
Last year, the libraries spent about $65,000 to maintain the laser printers and buy supplies for them, Rholes said.
Rholes said the decision to change the prices for both copies and printed pages was a reflection of the libraries' actual costs.
Students will still be able to print for free from dot matrix printers stationed in most libraries, Rholes said, but they will be limited to "a reasonable number of pages."
She said most databases also allowed users to e-mail the information to themselves or download it to a disk.
Liz Jackson, Overland Park junior, said she used the library all the time for her research because of the faster Internet access.
"I probably won't print out as much at the libraries because I can probably do it at home," she said. "For students, it's a bad thing. It was a nice resource to be able to go to the library and print things out for free."

Kansan's quality may drop because of new curriculum
A year ago, Fall 1999 Kansan editor Julie Wood wrote a column sounding an alarm of caution against the new curriculum that was about to be implemented by the School of Journalism.
The new curriculum is based on media convergence the idea that journalists of the future will need to work in more than one platform simultaneously as print, Internet and broadcast media gradually blend into one Julie's concern was that the expanded breadth of journalism classes would come at the expense of depth.
As the first year of the revamped curriculum winds to a close, I'm convinced she was right. There is a harmometer by which the KU student body can judge the effects of the new curriculum: the Kansan. Monitor the quality of the Kansan during your remaining time here. Because of its reliance on students to report and edit as part of their journalism classes, the Kansan's quality will decline if the school's quality of education does.
quality of evaluation.
Like Jule, I was editor of the Kansan; my term was last semester. Being editor puts you in a unique vantage point as you evaluate talent coming into the paper. What I saw was disturbing. During the transition, classes from both curriculums are being taught. Students who emerged from the old curriculum's Reporting II class were ready to tackle the rigors of being full time reporters for the Kansan and formed the core of this semester's reporting staff. The students in Reporting II's replacement, Multimedia Reporting, largely emerged without well-developed research and writing skills

Signs from other new courses are no more encouraging. The class Research and Writing replaced Reporting I. Reporting I focused on the basics of interviewing sources and writing accurate, complete stories. Research and Writing, in contrast, tries to incorporate broad cast print, public relations and advertising.
One of the assignments in Research and Writing was to write a "personals" ad — you know, "Single white male, 21, seeks intelligent female who enjoys walks on the beach and playing Parechesi." Future KU reporters may not be able to write a balanced, engaging story, but at least they can find that special someone.
Meanwhile, the ballyhoed Digital Jayhawk, which was supposed to showcase what the new curriculum could do, sputters. You've never heard of the Digital Jayhawk? Neither has anyone else outside the journalism school. You're not missing much. What was supposed to blend information from the Kansan, the school's KUJH-TV and other sources has turned into an unwieldy conglomerate of random class projects. If you access the site, you'll find all the relevant headlines — from April 25. As of yesterday, that was the most recent information the Digital Jayhawk had from KUJH. The most recent Kansan stories were from March 1.
That's a far cry from what Jimmy Gentry, dean of journalism, envisioned in 1990 as a cutting-edge source for news, complete with its own original content and staff.
Emphasizing convergence is not bad. The industry is gradually moving that direction. But the key word is "gradually." What the school needs is a gradual transition, not a headfirst plunge. For example, the dean recently hired by Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism arrived promising to emphasize more cross-platform collaboration, but he did so as one among many goals for the school. For the record, Northwestern has one of the best journalism schools in the country.
So does the University of Kansas. But the new curriculum ahandons much of what earned it its lofty reputation; refinement in reporting and editing. Like frenzied dot-com investors, the school got so caught up in the new medium of the Internet that it forgot that traditional rules still apply. For companies, those rules include turning a profit and following responsible fiscal policies. In journalism, they include rigor in writing and editing. The pummelming that Web companies have taken lately should serve as reminder that as you forge ahead in new directions, you can't forget time-tested principles.
I will graduate in two weeks as part of the last class under the old curriculum. Most of the students remaining in the school next year won't know what they're missing. In my time here, I received an excellent education. I hope future graduates of the school can say as much.

In and out of classrooms, teachers help shape lives
During my senior year in high school, I was enrolled in an Advanced Placement English class. The teacher was Sister
English class. The teacher was sister Eustasia Myers, an 82 year-old nun whose challenging (and sometimes confrontational) teaching style moved more than one student to tears. My senior year was the last year she taught the class before retiring, nearly 60 years after she started teaching.
She passed away about a year and a half ago. The news of her death struck me as no other person's passing ever has. That's because she
changed my life - she taught me and hundreds of students before me to write, to cherish both words and the people for whom we wrote them. She loved both her work and her students.
Sister Eustasia set me on a path that's only beginning to reveal where it will lead. In less than one week, I'll be on my way to New York City — working, of course, with words.
JOHN SMITH
I've never learned much from any teacher who wasn't passionate about his or her students, or even worse, about the topic he or she was teaching. I had a handful of those instructors during my 17 years of schooling, from elementary school through this semester. Many were good teachers but never on the level of Sister Eustasia.

Nonetheless, I've learned so much for which I'm profoundly grateful — both inside and outside of the classroom. I've come to realize that you certainly don't need a certificate or an advanced degree to really teach someone a lesson. All you require is passion.
So in essence, I've learned a lot from myriad people. friend and foe.
people. I learned that laughing helps heal even the deepest wounds of the soul. I learned the true meaning of generosity. And I learned that having family is something for which I should be grateful.
I was lucky; not everyone has such a close family, and some don't have any family at all
From my friends, I learned that I shouldn't rush into adulthood. I learned that youth is a gift. I learned that I like beer. And I learned that in tough times, the support of a close friend provides an overwhelming sense of relief. Sympathy counts for a lot.
And in the case of J.D. Jenkins, my good friend and former roommate, I learned that people can maintain friendships amid highly public disagreements.
From my journalism professors, I learned that words matter. I learned that the media play important roles in an increasingly global society. And I learned that the media will survive only if they have intelligent, strong, compassionate and ethical people working for them. We shape people's perceptions of the world.
From my fellow students, I learned that college life is a blast. I learned not to freak out if I slept through class. And I learned to be open-minded about the incredible variety of backgrounds we share.
Reflecting on these lessons, I wish that I'd done more during my time here. People like Sister Eustasia had such an impact on my future that I feel as if I've received much more than I've given. The lesson I offer you is not to let the love people have shown you go unrequited.
From my enemies, I learned that hate is evil. I learned how to be resilient under pressure. And I learned that no matter how much kindness you offer people, some of them always will attack you.
As I bid you farewell, however, I call on you to change someone's life. We all can be teachers, whether it's in a classroom,a church,an underprivileged neighborhood or in our own homes. Seize the opportunity; all it takes is a little passion.
On the Kansan opinion page, I've lambasted drunk drivers. University administrators national political figures and even our former student body president. I've called for justice and accountability.

KU graduates must give back to University
Tight budget times highlight the need for graduates to help keep the University alive.
On May 20, the Class of 2001 will follow tradition by walking down the hill during the 129th annual commencement ceremony at the University of Kansas. As KU graduates take their first steps into a 21st century workplace, they should remember their roots.
The road to graduation is difficult. Only 23.4 percent of freshman actually complete their education in four years. Obstacles such as low finances may sidetrack some students. For some, finding employment while enrolled becomes a necessity.
But no matter how long it takes to get a degree, graduates realize that the knowledge they have received during their college years can never be repealed. Through their educational journeys, graduates have accepted both the challenges and the perks the University offers its students.
For example, some students actually survived math class on the third floor of Strong Hall in 100-degree temperatures with no air conditioning. And remember when freezing temperatures closed every school in the state except for the University during the last two days of the fall semester? Determined students braved minuszero temperatures to attend class and get an education. Even more students have endured lectures in overcrowded classrooms, as in Fraser Hall.
Yet the good outweighs the bad. The University has the cheapest tuition rates in the Big 12 Conference. Unlike many other colleges, the University doesn't charge a graduation fee. In essence, we get a solid education at bargain prices.
At the University, students create lifelong friendships with people from all walks of life. Graduates know what it means to be Jayhawks.
As the Class of 2001 departs, the University's budget crunch worsens. With cuts probable for the next few years, graduates have an obligation to their alma mater. In return for the quality education we receive, we should contribute whatever we can
— whether funds or other gifts — to keep the University afloat.
The University will leave us all with many wonderful memories. We must not forget that.

I live in the Oliver dorm, and I usually have dinner at the Oliver dorm in the cafeteria, and I don't understand about the food thrown away in the trash, especially on Sunday. They could give it to Jubilee Cafe. That's a lot of food that could be used to feed the homeless in Lawrence.
I think the opinion that only minorities can add cultural diversity to KU is based on the erroneous assumption that all Whites share the same culture. One look down Wescoe Beach will dispel that myth in a heartbeat.

Letters to the Editor Respect the mentally retarded
I was horrified to read Justin Henning's editorial supporting capital punishment of people with mental disabilities who commit crimes ("The death penalty and mentally retarded convicts" counterpoint, April 25). He argued for the execution of John Paul Peny, a mentally retarded man unable to understand the crime he committed or the sentence he received.
First, Henning grievously missed the point of John Steinbeck's story Of Mice and Men. George kills Lenny not, as Henning argued, in response to Lenny's accidental killing of a woman but rather to save him from a worse death at the hands of a mob. And Lenny did not kill the woman because he "was unable to control his own anger."
The crime that Penny committed was indeed awful. But Henning stepped away from the magnitude of Penny's crime as a justification for a capital sentence and instead argued that Penny should be executed because of his low IQ. He wrote, "Penny's sentence should be carried out not only as a penalty for his crime, but also as an act of humanity."
Henning's argument calls to mind Nazi Germany's state eugenics program, called T4. This program was started by Hitler in 1939 with the established mandate of killing anyone whose life was deemed "unworthy," people who the Nazis characterized as "burdensome lives" and "useless eaters." As many as 200,000 people with disabilities were murdered at killing centers that foreshadowed the extermination camps where Jews, homosexuals and other "undesirables" were murdered. The stated purpose of T4 was "so that patients considered incurable, according to the best available human judgment of their state of health, can be granted a mercy killing."
A look at the historical context of Henning's views removes the shallow veil of "compassion" he claims to espouse and reveals the horrifying moral and social implications of any argument that some people just don't deserve to live.

Christ is the only way to truth
Mahatma Gandhi once said, "I like their Christ; I don't like their Christians." Friedrich Nietzsche said, "I will believe in the Redeemer when the Christian looks a little more redeemed."
As a Christian, I know what these men are talking about and how
uneside ideas need to be addressed. I do not want to make excuses for the Fred Phelpses of the world or the Inquisition or the Crusades. I believe they were and are wrong. All Christians in some way or fashion go against basic Christian thought. The hardest part when talking about Christianity to non-Christians is coming to an understanding that we are in "need of a savior. If you don't believe that, then Christianity to you is foolish. The dilemma isn't one of morals being a good or bad. Jesus didn't come to make bad people, good people, as Lee Strobel says in his book The Case for Faith. Jesus came to make dead people alive.
But Christianity is now saying it is the exclusive truth compared with other thoughts and beliefs. Truth is exclusive. You can't have two answers; when you say something is true, you are consequently saying there is something false. Either one religion is correct or they all are. If you analyze most religions, you will see how most of them cannot co-exist.
I am not pushing my beliefs on you. My friends are from all lifestyles and religions. Tolerance isn't the issue, either. If you do not want to listen, walk away or tell me so, but if you do, I believe I can offer something that will change your life forever. I am offering a hope, a purpose, a future like none other. I apologize for Christians who have strayed from the beliefs of Christ, who have turned his words to make them say what they want. But I ask that you do not look at our "weakest link." Instead, look at our light at the end of the tunnel: Jesus Christ.
Clinton Pfalser Caney junior
Church has not followed Christ
A number of columns and letters have been in the Kansan recently about the validity of Christianity. What often strikes me about the arguments deceiving Christianity is their appeal to church history and the abuses of the church.
Their view of Scripture is skewed by how the institutional church has often contradicted the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles.
So, as one writer claimed, Jesus can be viewed as encouraging the beating of slaves because church leaders of the past owned slaves. The teachings of Paul on women can be viewed as sexist because for centuries church leaders often discriminated against women and even abused them.
demning them. They were zealous, not for God, but for rules. They sought not the favor of God but press tige and honor in the eyes of others.
If you read the four Gospeles, you will notice that Jesus saves his harshest words for the religious leaders of the day (Matthew 23 and John 8). While they were condemning prostitutes, tax collectors, adulterers and the like, Jesus was con-
When they had a choice to follow Jesus or retain their way of life, they chose the latter. Church leaders have made that choice through the centuries. And when they have, they give the seeking world a false view of Jesus and the truth He proclaimed.
Some call Christianity a religion or a philosophy. If that is what people who call themselves Christians are committed to, they risk the same fate as the teachers of the law and the Pharisees.
Religion is made up of traditions and practices. Philosophies are developed around certain ideas. Jesus came to promote neither. He simply says, "Follow me." There is only one way to find God: Follow Jesus. For He said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). This is the essence of Christianity.

Queers deserve equal rights
I was disturbed by some opinions in the April 23 "Condemned but keeping the faith" article.
I picked up the coolest pamphlet at the April 20 Drag Show from A.C.T in Faith. The cover stated, "Finally!... Everything Jesus said about homosexuality. Clear, Concise, and Easy to Read." "The inside of the pamphlet was blank. I thought it was the best point about the issue I had ever read. Jesus never mentioned homosexuality. The Old Testament did, and that is where the Christian condemnation of homosexuality comes from. The Old Testament cannot be read literally.
Christians no longer follow several rules in the Old Testament (i.e. the Kosher laws). But Christians sure like to point out Leviticus 18:22, which contains the famous quote for anti-homosexual Christian doctrine. "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abamination." "This citation is taken out of context. The chapter following 18:22 states, "... nor shall you put on a garment made of two different materials." "Does this mean that anyone wearing a 74 percent cotton/26 percent nylon pants of pairs is going to burn in hell? I don't think so. One of the University Christian Fellowship members stated in the article that people who are "picking and choosing one part of a coherent document ... are eliminating part of the truth of it." If she is wearing 74 percent cotton/26 percent nylon pants, she is not "picking and choosing" what to believe?
Another explanation for the condemnation of homosexuality in the Old Testament is that it was not uncommon for conquerors of the
ancient Near East to rape defeated kings or warriors to humiliate and punish them. Anal rape could have been what the author of Leviticus was condemning, not homosexual relations all together. The fact that a homosexual relationship between women was never condemned, let alone mentioned, in the Bible helps to prove this point.
The Bible should not form our country's laws. Are same-sex benefits and civil unions too much to ask for? They are equal rights, not special rights. Have Christians influenced our nation's legal system? I think so.

Bible cannot be taken literally
Cody Marr's letter, "Christianity relevant today," (April 10) has a few good points but is missing something. Am I a devout Christian and have been all my life. I was raised in a Christian home, with a Christian family. However, I agree with Cody that you cannot take the Bible and the original beliefs so literally today. So many denominations take Bible verses so literally that they not only strive for unattainable perfection but also corrupt our society. Religion and church have turned into a competition among Christians. The church that has the biggest gym or television screen proves to be superior to other churches of the same denomination. Yet they still preach that the Bible is our map in life and we should take everything it says to heart. Nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about huge TVs and elaborate church programs to suck people in.
The Bible is a mere guide. But it is the only tangible thing Christians have to refer to today. Therefore it is still somewhat relevant.
I think Cody has a wrong perception of Christianity. Although the Bible has contradictions, it gives stories and parables that can help a person in his or her personal spiritual journey. For some, religion is a nice thing to hold on to, something warm and cuddly to turn to in hard times, but not everyone practices for that reason. Cody needs to realize that his passion against Christianity is shared inversely by Christians, and he should respect that. I hope Cody gets through to some denominations because they need to wake up. Good article, Cody, and good luck on your crusade.

Abortion only choice for some
In regards to the letter "Feminists can oppose abortion" (Tuesday). I am also a strong, independent, opinionated woman, and I take issue with
many points raised by Ms. Pomeroy.
"How dare we tell a woman that her only choice in an unplanned pregnancy is abortion?" We don't. The very label "pro-choice" implies that we do not dictate what decision a woman makes about her pregnancy.
Of course abortion is a disturbing and painful experience! No one is proabortion! What Ms. Pomeroy and some other pro-lifers fail to realize is that criminalizing abortion will not stop it. It would merely make it unsafe, dirty, expensive and dangerous.
How can Ms. Pomeroy accuse women of murder in one sentence, then turn around in the next and say that they are not "morally deprived" by any means? I believe that most women who resort to abortions are doing so because they think they have no other choice. Ms. Pomeroy says "they are simply young women who have too often been told that there is no other way out for them." What does she suppose that criminalizing abortion would do? It would leave no safe way out for a woman who cannot (for whatever reason) continue to carry a pregnancy to term.
I wish we could all put aside this bitterness and work to safely and constantly reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies. Imagine all the energy that goes into arguing about this topic. If all of it were deflected into working to educate women (and men!) about reproductive issues, prenatal care and responsible sexual behavior, we would see a decrease in abortions. This would surely please pro-life groups, while keeping it as an option if a woman feels that she has no other choice.

Chancellor must support sports
We wish Chancellor Hemenway would step in and show more support for the alumni and backers of swimming and tennis. When students and parents are asked to put up considerable amounts of money to keep their sons in school, then when they are forced to start a pledge campaign on their own to keep those two sports, it makes the backers feel as if they are on the outside of the KU community instead of being a part of the college.
Swimming and tennis have the support of parents and alumni of the two sports. Why can't Hemenway review those supportive actions and reconsider the elimination of those sports? Why can't he say "your efforts have demonstrated to me that I need to join in, make some phone calls and lend my support to saving swimming and tennis?"
It seems elementary. If the other nonrevenue sports asked their supporters to help, the task would
lessen.
We don't want conflict, we want support. We want to see the chancellor step up to the plate for those two sports and take a swing. If these student athletes leave to play their sports at other schools, the university will be poorer. Please, Chancellor Hemenway, take another book and join in.

Minorities should earn money
As a National Merit Scholar, I am disappointed by Wednesday's editorial pushing for the development of minority scholarships with money from "Coke cash." A few of her arguments sounded pathetic — so for all of you open-minded people, try to be open-minded about this.
First, the editorial board wants the University of Kansas to fund minorities more. Why? Not because they've earned it (the ones who have earned it are already receiving money) but because there are fewer of them. I'm a white North Dakota freshman. There aren't many of me here. Thus, I'm underprivileged, a minority and deserve financial aid. If this sounds absurd, congratulations! You're on the road to understanding why minorities don't deserve financial aid simply because of their minority status.
Second, the editorial board claims the University gives few minorities National Merit Scholarships. This ridiculously implies discrimination. Our University doesn't decide who becomes merit scholars — the National Merit Scholarship Corp. does. This award is based mostly on PSAT scores, and every merit scholar is automatically offered full tuition and board (in a scholarship hall).
The editorial board claims that merit scholars come from privileged backgrounds and thus have a definite advantage. That's uninformed. I graduated with only 27 classmates. To quote Ms. Knight, my high school "taught from outdated textbooks [and] had no air conditioning inside [its] classrooms." There were no advanced placement classes offered, and thus the slightly more gifted students in classes were stuck learning at a snail's pace. But despite this obvious disadvantage, three students of the last 54 who graduated were merit scholars. This is not teachers, books or community, but rather natural gifts much like those of professional athletes.
Minorities can benefit from financial support. But that's not the state's duty — it's something wealthy minorities can and should institute. The University shouldn't be pressured to give money to minorities just because life doesn't seem fair at times.

Hemenway honored by alma mater
By Cássio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
More than 1,000 people received diplomas at the University of Nebraska at Omaha commencement Saturday. But for KU students, at least one name on the list stands out as John Robert Henway.
- Charlene Roberts, A.M.
Hemenway received an honorary doctorate from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, his alma mater.
The chancellor, a 1963 graduate, also delivered the university's commencement address at the Omaha Civic Auditorium.
"It was a great honor." Hemenway said, adding that anyone honored by his or her alma mater should feel proud.
Hemenway also said it was special for him to be on the university's campus, which he hadn't visited in a long time.
Nancy Belch, University of Nebraska at Omaha chancellor, said Hemenway 'career reflected well on the university and its faculty.
"As his alma mater, UN Omaha is proud of Chancellor Hemenway and his outstanding contributions to higher education," Belck said. "This honorary degree allows us to recognize one of our own and celebrate his distinguished career."
Hemenway also received an honorary doctor of letters degree from Hastings College in Hastings, Neb., last year. He attended the college for two years before transferring to Omaha. After graduation, he earned a doctorate in English from Kent State University in Ohio.
Hemenway became chancellor of the University of Kansas on June 1, 1955. The chancellor is the chief executive officer and chief operating officer for the University, which includes the main campus in Lawrence; the Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., with a clinical branch in Wichita; and the KU Edwards campus in Overland Park.
Hemenway was chancellor of the University of Kentucky at Lexington for six years before becoming the KU's 16th chancellor.

Mojo's new location will have dining space
Air conditioning, servers features of new building

streets.
Customers craving spicy chicken wings and cheese fries won't have to eat out of a to-go box on the sidewalk or order delivery anymore.
Mojo's is leaving its cramped space at 805 Vermont Street and moving into the building formerly occupied by Rocky's restaurant at the corner of Seventh and Vermont
Mojo's current storefront, which still sports the flashing neon lights of the liquor store that used to occupy the space, only has room for one bench inside the door for customers sit while they wait for their food. But the new location, which will open early next month, will have tables for sit-down dining and an air-conditioned building to make summer comfortable.
James Langford, co-owner of Mojo's with Doug Yetman, said that relocating would allow the restaurant to offer the service it had wanted to deliver.
"This is going to allow us to have full service," Langford said. "It's going to allow us to have servers."
Patrick Cantrell, Honolulu senior,
said he frequently went to Mojo's for
carry-out buffalo wings.
"If they had an eating area and I was down on Massachusetts, I'd eat there a lot more often," Cantrell said.
Cantrell said Mojo's was uncomfortably hot last summer because the building wasn't air conditioned, and he thought it would be better for employees and customers when the business moved.
Mojo's opened five years ago in
August when Doug Yetman, Langford and Frank Lemus Jr. decided to try their hands at owning a small business. The three Lawrence natives decided to specialize in cooking up a variety of chicken wings and a down-home menu.
Langford said he looked forward to offering customers the comforts of a restaurant.
"It's an opportunity for us to serve our food the way it's meant to be," Langford said.
Sara Scully, Warrenburg, Mo. senior, worked at Mojie for two years and said customers often told her they wanted to be able to sit
down and eat. Scully said the owners put a picnic table in the alley next to the business so that customers could sit down to eat on nice days.
"Iam so excited that Mojo's finally has a chance to compete with other restaurants around Lawrence," Scully said.
She said the owners have taken part in local fund raises and are involved in other community projects.
Langford said the basic menu would remain the same and the restaurant would add daily specials.
The Waltz Project merges modern stories with dance

The Waltz Project, conceived and directed by Marianne Kubik, assistant professor of theater and film, returned to campus last weekend in Crafton-Preyer Theatre at Murphy Hall. The multimedia performance, which debuted last year, deals with issues from love to domestic violence as performers spin across the stage, waltzing to modern tunes from artists including Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan and the Goo Goo Dolls. Comedic and educational video projections appear between pieces to relate the history of the waltz to modern times.
a logical tool of communication. She said the stories she wanted to tell involved social interaction and the waltz was a highly social dance.
Kubik said the waltz, a romantic, three-quarter time dance, was
The Waltz Project began as Kubik's research project, in which she explored new methods of non-verbal storytelling. Kubik, a movement specialist for the University Theatre, received a grant from KU's New Faculty Research Program. She used the support to create a production merging theater, dance, music and film.
"Being able to combine them opens more doors in being able to communicate with an audience," Kubik said.
One scene depicts two men finding love with one another amidst a waltz to Sarah McLachlan's "Angel." Another looks at organized religion as the Virgin Mary and devout followers struggle with one another to Tori Amos' "Icicle."
The show even brings to life a famous painting: Jack Vetriano's "The Singing Butler," which depicts a butler and maid holding umbrellas for a privileged couple dancing on the beach. Umbrellas in hand, performers waltz to music from the score of Cirque du Soleil.
Kublk said that while the stories were important, her main objective involved the dancing itself.
"I hope an audience comes away with the sense that waltzing and ballroom dancing is something that can be appreciated even now," she said.
Bree Bruns, Waltz Project performer and Oskaloosa sopho
In March, the production's 15 actors, singers and dancers held dance workshops in Hutchinson. There, they presented The Waltz Project at the Fox Theatre, which provided Kubik with a commission for the production.
more, said she enjoyed watching people learn at the workshops. She pointed out that mastering waltz steps was one of the greatest challenges of her performance.
"You have to get a heightened sense of balance and put that into your body." Bruns said. "You've
got to be so in tune with what your partner's body is saying or you'll trip all over each other."
Student performers were an integral part of the entire production, Kubik said, because they helped develop choreography and did much of the behind-the-scenes work.
Kubik said the show was unique because it began without a script and remained completely original. She added that she hoped venues in other regions would recognize the production's appeal and allow The Waltz Project to spread its message.

Digging in the mud uncovers important history
Archaeologist finds ties to Oregon Trail by Wakarusa River

Archaeologist Frank Gagne points out what he believes is a caved-in water well. Gagne is excavating a site south of Lawrence thought to be the home of Napoleon Bonaparte Blanton, an important figure in local Oregon Trail history. Photo by Thad Allender/KANSAN

Near the southern bank of the Wakarusa River, Wichita archaeologist Frank Gagne squats in the deepest part of a stair-stepped hole. His mudcaked hands feel their way along the mossy ruins of a limestone and plaster home.
"Don't get too close." Gagne warns, "I think we're on top of the Blanton's water well."
Wide and deep enough for Gagne to fall in, the well is the only feature Gagne has left to excavate of the 150-year old Blanton homestead.
Funded by a grant from the Kansas State Historical Society, his archaeological dig is revealing layer by layer some of the only physical evidence that remains from the frontier days

in Douglas County. He has unearthed faceless coins and jewelry colored green with age.
Most important, Gagne said, he has learned about the living habits of Napoleon Bonaparte Blanton. Blanton was a prominent figure in Oregon Trail history because of a bridge he built across the "Wauky," which served as the hub of trade and travel during the mid-1800s.
Steve Jansen, director of the Watkins Community Museum, 1047 Massachusetts St., said Gagne's find was rare. The amount of physical evidence of Oregon Trail history discovered diminishes every year because most sites are lost to urbanization.
"It's easy to convince Americans that old buildings aren't needed and new ones are," Jansen said. "We're not trying to stop development; we're just trying to preserve what's in the ground."
Jansen said he believed that archaeology, particularly in Lawrence, made local government consider historic sites culturally important to America. He said work like Gagne's served not only as a science but also as a social and cultural consciousness and hoped there would be more of it in the future.
Like most historic sites, the future is the Blanton relics' worst enemy. Officials from the Kansas Department of Transportation have revived plans to finish the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway. One proposed route would take the trafficway south of the Wakarusa River, near 38th Street, dangerously close to the Blanton excavation. Jansen said he had seen this happen too many times.
Gagne said he was reluctant to reveal the site's exact location because he was afraid vandals might damage it.
But at least for now, Gagne can continue his research in peace.
"Ifound their trash pit," Gagne said. "That's where the treasure is, metaphorically speaking, of course."
But Gagne is no garbage man. He's 100 percent scientist as the four tripod-mounted cameras, the 20 photocopied maps and the rusty trowels all suggest. The back seat of his Chevy Blazer is littered with profiles, cross sections and topographical plans of the Blanton site. He must be precise and meticulous, and he must document every inch of subsoll he removes and screens for artifacts.
"Digging is the fun part," Gagne said. "Mapping the site takes time and can be extremely

t tedious because you have to represent on a grid each square foot of soil both vertically and horizontally."
Numbered orange flags flap around the site, marking the specific location of artifacts that Gagne has found. Directly north of the foundation is a 4-by-4 foot metal screen with a heaping pile of soil beneath it.
"I dug out about four feet of soil just to get to the foundation," Gagne said.
"It all goes through the screen once it's been excavated. I found this there," he said as he pulled a wadded up plastic bag from his pocket.
Gagne thumbed a ceramic pipe with a young woman's face painted on it. He speculated that it was Blanton's wife or one of his two daughters, but he didn't commit either way.
"I'll need to do some research to make sure." he said.
Dedication to research is why Gagne has been successful in archaeology.
"Doing research is definitely not my favorite aspect of the job," Gagne said, "but for this site, every inch of land is important."

Engineering dean returns to classroom
Mullinazi says he needs to get back
Bv Ali Brox
Special to the Kansan
Tom Mulinazzi wears a Jayhawk every day. In fact, if anyone notices him not wearing one, he'll give that person a dollar. He wears the Jayhawk as a symbol of his loyalty to the University of Kansas and the School of Engineering.
"I try to convey to my students that you want to be loyal to your company," he said. "My dad said, 'If a company makes money, I'll be rewarded, therefore, son, always be a company man.' My dad was very wise."
Mulinazzi, associate dean of the School of Engineering, will step down from his administrative position this summer and return to the classroom full time. His area is civil engineering with an emphasis on transportation. Mulinazzi, who has been the full-time associate dean since 1992, hasn't taught in his area in 14 years.
"feel like I'm losing knowledge because so much has changed and become computerized. I need to get back." Mulinuzzi said. He's especially looking forward to the increased interaction with students once he's back in the classroom.
However, Mulnazzi said his tenure as associate dean hadn't completely removed him from students' lives. He teaches an Introduction to Engineering class for students who are in the school but haven't decided in what area they want to specialize. He helps them decide what kind of engineer they want to be, or if they want to be one at all.
"He sees his program as successful even when a student decides not to be an engineer because it's better a student knows now as a freshman," Dean Carl Locke said.
Chad Gustin, Overland Park senior,
took Mulinazzi's Introduction to
Engineering class his freshmen year.
Gustin was having trouble fitting in his
first month at KU, and Mulinazi took the
initiative to find Gustin after class and
take him to lunch.
"We talked one on one, and he really helped me," Gustin said. "It just shows how much he cares about students. He helped me realize I could be a successful engineering student."
As last year's president of Tau Beta Pi, an honorary engineering fraternity, Gustin had the opportunity to work more with Mulinazii — because Mulinazii was the faculty mentor for the fraternity.
"He's one of the most influential people in the school of engineering." Gustin said.
Mulnazhit hopes his class helps students with the transition from being a high school student to being a serious college student who will succeed at the University. He said high school was too easy, and students needed to look at college as a full-time job.
I want students to change their mindset from how little can I do for an A to how much can I learn," Mulinazzi said.
Ann Phillips, director of academic services, said Mulmazhi had made the associate dean position more important than it used to be by adding programs.
She said Mulinazi started a club to help engineering students improve their oral communication for hiring.
"He's very animated," Phillips said. "He does a good job with parents and students."
game becoming faster and coaches substituting so often, officials decided the score table needed an extra set of eyes.
Outside the School of Engineering, Mulinazzi is an assistant scorekeeper at men's basketball games. In 1985, with the
"I toot the horn and keep track of fouls." he said.
Mulinazzi said the hardest thing about leaving his position would be no longer officially representing the School of Engineering.
Brian Hannon, Basehor senior, knows Mulinazzi from his involvement in Tau Beta Pi.
“In the four years I've been here, enrollment in the School of Engineering has increased dramatically,” Hannon said. “He's a big part of that. He's charismatic and promotes the school very well.”
"The School of Engineering is an easy sell," Mulmazi said. "We provide a good undergraduate education and send students everywhere, from MIT to Stanford."
A proud Notre Dame graduate who also played in the school's band, Mulinazzi is loyal to the crimson and blue.
"Part of my life is here." Mulinazzi said about his tenure as associate dean. "I'm not a graduate, but I'm very loyal. I'm looking forward to going back to teaching."

Internships helpful for securing a job
By Cynthia Malakasis writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Jennifer Dwan will spend the summer applying the knowledge she has acquired at the University of Kansas in the past three years.
Gail Rooney, director of University Career and Employment Services, said an internship was extremely important for a student's professional future.
Dwan, College Park, Md., junior, has been hired as an intern by a national consulting firm. A business and chemistry major, Dwan said she chose an internship because she wanted to experience the work setting while she was still in college, before she went out into "the real world."
Apart from having the opportunity to apply, classroom-acquired skills, she said, an internship also helped students establish contacts in their professional area of interest, and maybe even secure a job after graduation.
"National data shows that between 20 to 30 percent of interns are hired by the company in a fulltime position after graduation," she said.
Rooney said that students planning to intern should take advantage of campus career fairs, work on their resumes and their interviewing skills, and make sure they obtain background information about the companies they were targeting.
She also said that they should start looking for an internship as early as a year before the time they were planning to intern.
But the majority of students started their search later than that, Rooney said.
David Vera, Quito, Ecuador, senior, started looking for a summer internship in early February.
Vera, an architectural engineering major, said he talked to one company about an internship. After that fell through, Vera sent his resume out to more potential employers at the beginning of April.
"I started too late," he said of his search.
I started too late, he said of his search. Vera thinks he will still get an internship before he graduates. He said that he plans to graduate in December and that he would be disappointed if he hadn't had an internship during college.
But not all students feel an internship is necessary.
Nicholas Dinham, Chicago senior, said he thought that about 90 percent of people in his field of study, business administration, got an internship, but he wasn't looking for one.
"I can prove my worth once I get a job," Dinham said. "It's not too essential."

World's first space vacationer returns

The Associated Press
STAR CITY, Russia — Dennis Tito ended the world's first paid space vacation yesterday with a fast and fiery descent to Earth and an aestatic assessment of his multimillion-dollar adventure.
The Russian capsule landed successfully in Central Asia, delivering the 60-year-old California tycoon and his two Russian crewmates to Earth after eight days in space and a stint on the international space station.
"It it was perfect. It was paradise",
Tito said, still strapped into his seat after it was removed from the Soyuz capsule, following touchdown in the vast steps of Kazakstan. The air still reeked of charred metal from the fierce friction the capsule endured on its three-hour descent.
The capsule — with its crew safely insulated inside — was briefly engulfed in flames before its parachute opened to slow its return to Earth. It landed in a bleak plain in northern Kazakstan and was dragged for a few yards through the
dirt before stopping.
After landing at the Chkalovsky military airport outside Moscow, the crew was whisked aboard a bus and taken to the building where they trained for the voyage in nearby Star City. Greeted by a military band and a strong of clamoring reporters as they got off the bus, Tito made no remarks and appeared tired.
Tito and the cosmonauts blasted off from Kazakstan on April 28 and spent two days in orbit before docking with the space station, where Tito's presence distressed NASA.
The U.S. space agency complained that the station was no place for an amateur, even though Tito underwent extensive training as part of the trip that reportedly cost him up to $20 million.
Even after NASA dropped its objections, agency head Daniel Goldin complained, saying last week that Tito's presence had put the space station under substantial stress.
Tito said the U.S. astronauts went out of their way to show him

"It was perfect. It was paradise."
around. But before the return to Earth yesterday, American astronaut Jim Voss gave Tito only a reserved handshake in contrast to the hug he gave Musabayev, a video linkup with Russian mission control showed.
The capsule touched down near Arkalky, about 250 miles southwest of the Kazak capital Astana. Officials, reporters and a few curious onlookers crowded around the trio.
Only after Tito was on solid ground did he admit to worries about the trip.
"I was worried that I might not feel good in space," Tito said. "I turned out to feel the best I've felt in my entire life while I was in space."
Still, he said, he did not want to
make the trin again.
"I want other people to make it instead." Tito said.
The crew flew to the airport in Astana for a welcome by Kazak President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who told Tito, "In the past, it was only in science fiction novels that you could read about ordinary people being able to go to space. But you laid the foundation for space tourism."
It is unclear how quickly that foundation may be built upon, given NASA's objections and reservations expressed by some of the other countries participating in the station project.
Yuri Semyonov, the head of RKK Energiya — the firm that built the Russian modules used on the international space station — hailed the flight yesterday as an important precedent.
"We are satisfied with this flight and we see the beginning of commercial exploitation of the international station," he said.
Pope visits Syrian mosque to promote peace
DAMASCUS, Syria — John PaulII became the first pope to enter a mosque, and called for brotherhood between Christians and Muslims yesterday and stepped across a sensitive line in his campaign for better relations among different faiths.
Vatican and Syrian flags decorated the Omayayad Mosque in the old walled city at the heart of modern Damascus as the 80-year-old pontiff slipped off his shoes as tradition requires and entered the mosque.
The Associated press
He walked with Syria's top Muslim cleric, Sheik Ahmad Kufaru, who is in his late 60s and also walked with a cane. Papal aides
Leaning on a cane, he stumbled slightly at the threshold and while crossing the carpeted floor of the vast, white-columned hall glittering with chandeliers. The visit to the mosque lasted one hour and 35 minutes.
The visit was also a natural step in John Paul's longtime campaign to heal the wounds separating Christians, Muslims and Jews. In 1986, he became the first pope to visit a Jewish synagogue.
quoted John Paul as telling Kuffaro: "I can say I am very happy."
After leaving the mosque, the ponti tuffed Muslims and Christians to "turn to one another with feelings of brotherhood and friendship, so that the Almighty may bless us with the peace which heaven alone can give."
The mosque visit pointed out some of the frictions. Plans for a joint Muslim-Christian prayer at the mosque were dropped—apparently to avoid hurting Muslim sensitivities. And since the mosque stands on the site where a church was located 12 centuries ago, some Syrians questioned whether the pope was trying to claim the site back for Christianity.
The pope's visit to Syria, which began Saturday, has also brought him into the riptides of Arab-Israeli rivalries.
In his speech welcoming the pope, President Bashar Assad urged the Vatican to side with Arabs in their dispute with Israel and referred to what he described as Jewish persecution of Jesus Christ.
In Israel, reaction to Assad's comments was stern.
President Moshe Katsay yesterday said Assad's statements were "racist" and "anti-Semitic," while Deputy Foreign Minister Rabbi Michael Melchior called on Roman Catholic leaders to reject such statements "with revulsion."
In Los Angeles, Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said Assad's comments showed that Syria had no interest in Middle East peace.
John Paul's spokesman, Joaquin
Navarro-Valls, told reporters Sunday that "the pope will absolutely not intervene. We are guests of this president and he has expressed his opinion." He added that the church and John Paul have spoken out against anti-Semitism numerous times
The pope — who is retracing the biblical travels of St. Paul the Apostle on a six-day pilgrimage to Greece, Syria and Malta — began the day with an open-air Mass for some 35,000 people in the Syrian capital's Abbasid Stadium.
"In this holy land, Christians, Muslims and Jews are called to work together with confidence and boldness and to work to bring about without delay the day when the legal rights of all peoples are respected and they can live in peace and mutual understanding," the pope told the stadium crowd, speaking in French.

Trafficway's alignment, future still unclear
Continued from page 1A

the project as an encroachment on a culturally and environmentally sensitive land.
Haskell had the most to lose. Its burial grounds could be churned up if the road were laid through the northern edge of the Baker Wetlands on or near 31st Street, and it would be a stone's throw away from the Medicine Wheel, a sacred circle Haskell dedicated to the Lawrence community in 1992 that represents diverse beliefs.
Alumni who attended Haskell when it still owned more than 1,000 acres of land view the trafficway as the continuation of a policy of encroachment. Through the years, Haskell's land has been sold off piece by piece, almost 700 acres in all, including the Baker Wetlands, which used to define the university's southern boundary.
For environmentalists, the wet lands are still a viable educational tool for students and the community. Ninety percent of Kansas wetlands have already been lost, and some say a highway cutting through the ecosystem would destroy its value and usefulness.
Wicked roadway of the West
Throughout U.S. history, Native American victories have been few and far between. But organized opposition to the trafficway by Haskell students, alumni supporters and environmentalists effectively killed the project midstream almost a year ago.
Highway planners broke ground for the traffic inland in 1994 and, $70 million later, constructed the first nine miles. The western leg extended to the 3400 block of Iowa Street, on the doorstep of the wetlands. However, before the final section could be built, the opposition filed a lawsuit, halting construction.
A federal judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and ordered that a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement be completed before construction could resume
But that approval never came.
Roadway resuscitation
Officials with the Federal Highway Administration studied three possible routes for the trafficway, but they were unwilling to recommend any route that Haskell opposed. As a result, the report recommended the "no build" alternative.
"It really should have ended the discussion," said Bob Eye, Wetlands Preservation Organization attorney.
Today, however, the trafficway is still alive. Now purely a state-funded project, the road that was thought to lead to nowhere is being pushed by the Kansas Department of Transportation.
Mike Rees, chief counsel for KDOT, said he didn't like the way the trafficway was taken down. He viewed the controversy as a political problem, and he said the protesters should have dealt with it solely in that arena.
"I saw a group of people who commaneered government," Rees said. "We can't function as a society if we allow special interest groups to dictate to us what happens."
"I think what KDOT needs to do is start over," Rees said.
Rees, a Lecompton resident, is spearheading the project because he said the trafficway was needed.
It was important to "wipe the slate off," he said, and make sure the entire community had a voice in the final decision.
Haskell out opposition not
Haskell, its Board of Regents and the Wetlands Preservation Organization had long been the primary roadblock to preventing construction of the eastern leg of the traffcway.
Joe Frazier, deputy director for school operations at the U.S. Office of Indian Education, which is under the Bureau, wrote a letter to KDOT saying Haskell would officially drop its opposition to the trafficway if two conditions were met.
But a month ago, Rees went over the heads of the university's administration to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the government agency that oversees Haskell, to work out a deal.
First, Douglas County would have to vacate 31st Street, which cuts eastwest through the southern part of Haskell's campus, and make it wetlands again. Second, the eventual route of the trafficway would have to be far enough south to not adversely affect the Haskell campus.
"We didn't even realize he had the authority to do this," Contreras said. "It remains to be seen if KDOT can make a deal with the county."
The prospect of vacating 31st Street is tricky because the road's right-of-way belongs to the county, and city and county officials have discussed expanding the busy road to four lines east of Louisiana Street.
Lawrence officials have already dedicated $100,000 to a study of a wider 31st Street, but Mayor Mike Rundle said he wasn't sure if they should pull the plug on it.
If 131 Street were vacated, Rees said, the eventual streetway couldn't go any further south than 32nd Street because the county wouldn't endorse it.
Also, even though Haskell's administration seems to be out of the equation, the WPO, alumni and the Board of Regents are holding their ground.
"In our eyes, the BIA can't make a decision for anyone at Haskell," said Ross, who was one of the litigants who successfully sued to stop the eastern leg of the trafficway.
She's upset that the students and alumni weren't included in the decision. She had never even heard Frazier's name until the deal was complete.
"It will probably be challenged," Ross said.
Regent Martha Houle, who is also the national alumni president for Haskell, said she had always been supportive of the students and WPO, but it was time for alumni to step forward.
She said she wasn't concerned with KDOT's plans because she believed the tribal governments, represented by the Haskell Board of Regents, were more powerful than the developers.
"I feel we should join instead of sit back as reinforcements," she said.
"It's time for us to come in and express our thoughts about it. The WPO needs it."
Reason for the fight
"Each one of those medicine men told us no matter what happens, to protect these graves out here and not allow them to be disturbed," Contreras said. "That's one of the main reasons I'm in this fight."
"At that time we had a bunch of elders and medicine men on campus here, so we took that chance to go around and talk to each one of them about what was happening here," Contreras said.
"This happens to be a sensitive ecosystem, but for myself, regardless of what kind of land it is, it's the history and the burials that I'm trying to protect."
Michael Contraeras had never left his native Southern California before coming to Haskell in 1994. Fresh out of high school, he quickly learned about the controversy that had been stewing in his new home.
Haskell organized a conference during his first year to celebrate the legalized transportation of an Indian medicine called peyote. Members of tribes from across the country were in attendance.
Haskell alumnus Noah Allen, who graduated in 1942, put it more bluntly.
"You leave them the hell alone," he said about the graves. "You don't disturb ancestors."
In January, KDOT hired a Denver consulting firm to use radar and other high-tech methods in an attempt to locate possible burial sites. The consultants studied about six plots, but no sites were located.
under the assumption that graves were present.
Nevertheless, Rees said he would continue to deal with the wetlands
"If there are Native American burial sites, there are federal guidelines to deal with those," Rees said.
Contneras was unswayed by the study.
"We're not going to go out of our way to convince you doxist." he said.
way to prove they do exist," he said. The WPO is exploring tactics to keep the trafficway at bay. One is to designate the wetlands as a National Historic Landmark to potentially force developers to build around it. Another strategy is buying back the wetlands from Baker University
Contreas isn't opposed to the idea of the trafficway, just its location. He wants to see the bypass loop around the wetlands south of the Wakarusa River.
But that route is only now beginning to be studied, and traditionally KDOT has said that route was too expensive and wouldn't accomplish the goal of alleviating 23rd Street traffic because it would be too far south.
Green with concern
A frog received nearly 2,000 votes in the Douglas County Commission elections in November 1986. A group of environmentalists concerned with the fate of the endangered northern crawfish frog, which lived in the Baker Wetlands, created a fictional amphibian called Agnes T. Frog and encouraged voters to write in her name.
write Agnes didn't win, she did receive almost 30 percent of the vote. Looking back, Roger Martin, a KU writer and an environmental activist, said the Committee to Elect a True Amphibian never expected to win the election; it just wanted to raise awareness about what would happen if the trafficway went
.
through the wetlands.
10 oay, Martin and his compatriots are no longer involved in the battle that has lingered for 15 years, but environmental objections to the road are still being expressed.
The Jayhawk Audubon Society, like the WPO, is opposed to any highway route north of the Wakarusa river.
Alison Reber, president, said her organization was still promoting awareness of the wetlands, which are an important educational resource. She said she hoped KDOT would take a serious look at the route south of the river. Although the organization isn't planning legal action, Reber said it was keeping a close eye on the project and making sure no environmental regulations were being skirted.
KU Environs has the same position. The campus organization's co-chairman, Scott McKenzie, said as soon as he got a better feel for what KDOT was planning, KU Environs would team with the WPO in opposition.
Which way to go?
The Federal Highway Administration studied three routes in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. All of them — 31st, 35th and 38th Streets — cut through the Haskell Baker Wetlands. A route south of the Wakarusa River wasn't included in the study.
Because the report was unable to resolve any objections to the three routes, it recommended the only option remaining: "no build."
But Rees said "no build" wasn't synonymous with "can't build."
Rees pointed out the environmental impact statement was not designed to make a decision.
"The purpose is to make sure that
all environmental concerns are addressed. he said.
That process is not complete.
that process is not complete.
Rees is putting into place the pieces needed to carry the project through to the end. KDOT recently purchased land south of 31st and west of Louisiana streets to protect its options, one of which is a 32nd Street alignment that would run through the northern part of the Baker Wetlands but just miss Haskell's property.
"It's become easy to say south of the river," said Rees, who maintains that the land surrounding the river has its own set of environmental concerns.
Rees, who doesn't have a preferred alignment in mind, said one of the biggest misconceptions about the project was that building the traffic south of the Wakarusa was "environmentally benign."
The state has also hired Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendoff, a Kansas City, Mo-based engineering firm, to develop a projected timeline for the trafficway project and conduct another environmental impact statement that would study all possible routes, including south of the river.
but Roger Boyd, chairman of biology at Baker, said he had challenged those claims before.
"From an ecological standpoint, there's nothing that would be a tremendous loss," Boyd said of the southern alternative.
However, if the trafficway were to dissect any part of the wetlands, Boyd said, it would create an immediate disruption. He said traffic on the new road would displace wildlife activity on either side up to 200 feet and would increase road kill.
The 38th Street alignment would isolate the majority of the wetlands
from the Wakarusa River, making it harder for animals to access it. Thirty-fifth Street would slice the ecosystem in half, and 32nd Street would destroy the wettest part of the wetlands as well as take out the boardwalk, an elevated path for visitors to get a better look at wildlife and vegetation.
"There really isn't any other place to put the boardwalk that's as diverse," Boyd said. "In a sense, you're destroying the best part of the wetlands."
Mitigation tactics
KDOT's inability to appease the opposition has not been for a lack of effort. Just recently it put an offer on the table to double the size of the wetlands and build a nature facility if the trafficway could be built north of the Wakarausa River.
The mitigation proposal hasn't impressed the opposition or the educational community in Lawrence that uses the wetlands for research and class trips. Critics of the proposals question who would be in charge of the center and how it would affect the business of the nearby Prairie Park Nature Center.
John Fuller, spokesman for the university, said Baker was trying to be as helpful as it could with the process. The university hasn't endorsed any one route. Fuller declined to comment on mitigation possibilities.
Baker University, a key player in the controversy as owner of the wetlands, has held the same opinion about the trafficway for the past 10 years: It isn't opposed.
The prognosis

Last month at a meeting with Lawrence office, KDOT engineer George Sloop was announced as the new project manager of the traffway project, and at that time, Rees said he was taking a less active role. But since then, Rees has said he isn't going anywhere, and he's still working closely with the new consultants.
"We're learning these projects aren't just road projects; they're social projects," he said. "It's kind of a painful lesson, but it's not a bad lesson."
Reflecting on the history of the ill-fated trafficway, Rees said it had been a failure of government to address issues.
He remains confident of the trafficway's eventual completion.
"It's going to be built; there's no question about it," he said. "There's no reason not to build a trafficway. When it's done, it will be a showpiece."
WPO attorney Bruce Plenk, who's been involved with the controversy for the past five years, agrees, sort of.
He said a bypass of some sort would probably make it around Lawrence, but not through the wetlands.
I'm optimistic that people will come to their senses," he said. "To me, it makes just as much sense as if they put the road through Allen Fieldhouse."

Seniors sizzle at NBA camp

"They weighed and measured us, and we did all of these interviews and stuff, so it's kind of like you're a piece of meat." Chenwith said. "But that's fine because if I find out I'm a good piece of meat, then I'll have a good job."
Both returned to Lawrence yesterday saying they had good workouts, and Chenowith said he hoped the stress of the week-long camp would pay off.

"My 17-foot jump shot — I shot that very
well during the week,
and I think that will help me," Chenwith said. "I didn't miss any open shots; I blocked some shots, and I rebounded well. I felt I had a good week."

Gregory was pleased with his week too, although his team finished 1-2. He said he made some skeptical scouts believers in his jump shot, and he said they were also
pleased with his athleticism.
"I proved to a lot of people that I could shoot better than they thought," Gregory said. "Everyone knows I'm athletic, but I showed better play defensively and that I
could knock down the open shot. I think I helped myself."
Insiderse report.com, an NBA scouting Web site, projects Gregory to be picked 46th by the Minnesota Timberwolves and Chenowith to be taken with the 47th pick by the Denver Nuggets in the June 27 draft.
Gregory's best game at the mini-camp was a 17-point performance in 21 minutes on Wednesday. He sank eight-of-14 shots and led his team to an 86-81 win against a team that included Iowa State senior Martin Rancik and Oklahoma senior Nolan Johnson.

Chenowith's best game was the same day when he scored 10 points on five-of-seven shooting and grabbed seven rebounds in 17 minutes as his team thumped Nebraska senior Kimani Friend's team, 95-83.

Rower glides through water and air
By Jay Mullinix
Kansan sportswriter
Most college athletes are expected to excel on the playing field. To do so in the classroom is often an added bonus.
Senior Tiffany Marquart takes it a step further.
A senior on the rowing team, Marquart is enrolled in 21 hours and has held a 3.0 grade point average during her college career.
Marquart hasn't just proven her abilities on water and land, but in the air as well. A licensed pilot, Marquart also serves as a cadet colonel in the Air Force ROTC program.
She has ended up doing much more than that. Marquart started the season rowing with the varsity four boat, which is ranked No. 5 in the Midwest Region, before being promoted last weekend to the second varsity eight boat.
Joining the rowing team three years ago as a walk-on and coming off an injury plagued previous spring, Marquart had modest goals for her final season on the water.
"I was blown away by that," Marquart said of coach Rob Catloth's decision. "When Rob read the seat assignments for the second boat and I heard my name, my mouth literally dropped open."
"Having been hurt last year, I really wasn't sure what to expect at the start of this season," she said. "So I came in just wanting to hold down a spot on the traveling team."
Assistant coach Heather Galvin credited Marquart's move up to her uncommon drive.
"Tiffany has an unbelievable work ethic, and her conditioning is pretty stellar." Galvin said. "She knows how to put in the work to attain the highest level she's capable of."

Softball team ties for third in conference
By Brent Briggman sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge held her hands a few feet apart after watching a Christi Musser line drive slice foul in the seventh inning of Saturday's second game against Nebraska.
That's how close the Jayhawks came to sweeping the No. 10 Huskers before a crowd of more than 450 at Jayhawk Field.
"When she hit it I just thought, yes," Bunge said, referring to Musser's shot down the left flound line with two outs and the bases load. "But you could just see it twisting foul. I tried to help bend it back in, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be."
A hit would have given the Jayhawks (31-25 overall, 10-8 in the Big 12 Conference) a victory.
The losses dropped Kansas to a third place tie with Texas Tech in the final Big 12 standings. The Red Raiders hold the tie-breaker between the two teams and will receive the third seed in the conference tournament.
The weekend started on a high note for the 'Hawks. They came from 4-0 down in the first game against Nebraska, winning by the final tally of 6-4. The comeback was against a 'Husker squad that had won 17 in a row and 35 of its previous 38 games.
The weekend, which started with a 6-4 Kansas win against the 'Huskers (46-11, 15-2), concluded with a 4-3 loss to Missouri (30-26, 7-1) in Columbia yesterday.
However, Musser took a third strike on the next pitch as Nebraska w 1-0.
A two-run single by Kansas
shortstop junior Courtney Wright cut Nebraska's deficit in half in the fourth inning. The Hawks then posted four runs on just two hits in the fifth inning, taking advantage of two Nebraska errors.
"They definitely opened the door for us," Bunge said. "But we made the most of it. That's what good teams have to do, because a team like Nebraska isn't going to give you many opportunities like that."
Freshman Kara Pierce picked up the win for Kansas as she settled down after surrendering four runs in the third inning. She gave up only two hits in the final four frames — retiring 11 in a row at one point.
The second game brought impressive pitching performances from both teams.

'Hated' writer remembers good and bad sports events
It's been three roommates, two hair colors, one defunct piercing and a few body shots later, but I've finally made it.
And through it all, sports have been a guiding light. I can tell you where I was when Roy Williams stayed, Paul Pierce left, Wilt Chamberlain died and a new era of White Sox baseball was born.
But while the road hasn't always been smooth — a Dallas cab ride when a slightly drunk associate showed me what he ate for dinner enters my mind — or friendly, I think I've been berated in the Free for All far too many times this semester — it's been interesting.

I know a Jayhawk isn't the toughest looking or realistic mascot, but Indiana takes the cake in the non-mascot department. After cheering for the Hoosiers and Bobby Knight for two years because my icky boyfriend went to Indiana, I finally got rid of the hot-headed coach and my less-than-ideal boyfriend. But watching them lose in the first round of the tournament the next two years in the first round was sweet revenge.
Yippee, I'm 21. Now I can drink — legaly — and mingle with all the beautiful people at the Yacht Club. From volleyball players to big offensive linemen to alum Scot Pollard, I've seen them all. Now, if only most of them were of legal age like me.

Seniors sizzle at NBA camp
By Chris Wristen
Kansan sportswriter
The 90-degree Phoenix heat had nothing to do with Eric Chenowith and Kenny Gregory's sweating last week. The Kansas seniors spent last week on a grill known as an NBA draft mini-camp.
Both returned to Lawrence yesterday saying they had good workouts, and Chenowith said he hoped the stress of the week-long camp would pay off.
On the meat scale, both talked as if they were Kansas City Strip Steaks rather than Oscar Meyer wieners during the May 1.5 mini-camp. Each said he thought
they weighed and measured us, and we did all of these interviews and stuff, so it's kind of like you're a piece of meat," Chenwith said. "But that's fine because if I find out I'm a good piece of meat, then I'll have a good job."
KANSAN.COM/SPORTS
his draft stock rose during the week.
"My 17-foot jump shot — I shot that very
well during the week,
and I think that will help me." Chenwith said.
"I didn't miss any open shots; I blocked some shots, and I rebounded well.
I felt I had a good week."
Chenowith camp team garnered a second-place finish
Chenwish measured in at 7-feet 1/2 inch tall at the camp and said his size was an advantage because other big men had trouble containing

him and were forced to foul. He helped his team to a 2-1 record during the week and a second-place finish behind camp MVP Jeff Tregnagier's team.
"A lot of the big guys had a tough time
guarding me on the block because I could score and get fouled on the block."

Gregory; said he made some skeptical scouts believers
"Whenever we needed a basket throughout the week, coach (former Celtics assistant Rick Carlise) would say, let's get the ball inside."
Gregory was pleased with his week too, although his team finished 1.2. He said he made some skeptical scouts believers in his jump shot, and he said they were also not.
"I proved to a lot of people that I could shoot better than they thought," Gregory said. "Everyone knows I'm athletic, but I showed better play defensively and that I

could knock down the open shot. I think I helped myself."
Insidersreport.com, an NBA scouting Web site, projects Gregory to be picked 46th by the Minnesota Timberwolves and Chenowith to be taken with the 47th pick by the Denver Nuggets in the June 27 draft.
Gregory's best game at the mini-camp was a 17-point performance in 21 minutes on Wednesday. He sank eight-of-14 shots and led his team to an 86-81 win against a team that included Iowa State senior Martin Rancik and Oklahoma senior Nolan Johnson.
Chenowith's best game was the same day when he scored 10 points on five-of-seven shooting and grabbed seven rebounds in 17 minutes as his team thumped Nebraska senior Kimani Ffriend's team, 95-83.

Most college athletes are expected to excel on the playing field. To do so in the classroom is often an added bonus.
Senior Tiffany Marquart takes it a step further.
A senior on the rowing team, Marquart is enrolled in 21 hours and has held a 3.0 grade point average during her college career.
Marquart hasn't just proven her abili
ties on water and land, but in the air as well. A licensed pilot, Marquart also serves as a cadet colonel in the Air Force ROTC program.
She has ended up doing much more than that. Marquart started the season rowing with the varsity four boat, which is ranked No. 5 in the Midwest Region, before being promoted last weekend to the second varsity eight boat.
Joining the rowing team three years ago as a walk-on and coming off an injury plagued previous spring, Marquart had modest goals for her final season on the water.
"I was blown away by that," Marquart said of coach Rob Catloth's decision. "When Rob read the seat assignments for the second boat and I heard my name, my mouth literally dropped open."
"Having been hurt last year, I really wasn't sure what to expect at the start of this season," she said. "So I came in just wanting to hold down a spot on the traveling team."
Assistant coach Heather Galvin credited Marquart's move up to her uncommon drive.
"Tiffany has an unbelievable work ethic, and her conditioning is pretty stellar," Galvin said. "She knows how to put in the work to attain the highest level she's capable of."
Marquart credits much of that work ethic and drive as coming out of her time spent in ROTC. She has served this semester as the cadet wing commander, the highest possible rank for an Air Force cadet on campus. As such, Marquart is responsible for organizing weekly Air

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 7). First, hammer out an agreement and make solid plans. You'll need a partner's help to do this. It's hard to see eye to eye in May. An influx of ideas and money helps in June. In July, education is what you need. In August, rest and think things over. Compromise in September, and make lists in October. November is for commitments and challenges. For starters, face your own worst fears. They'll seem less scary by December and downright comical by February. In April, reward yourself for a job well done.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 4.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 4. A scheme you've carefully devised could have a major flaw. It won't work as planned, through no fault of your own. The time is just not right for action yet. Let it wait a day longer and see what develops. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
**durus** (April 20-May 20) — today is a 9.
Don't get into an argument with your partner or mate. The two of you need to join forces. You have a chance to broker a pretty good deal, but not on your own. United, your point of view will triumph. Otherwise, forget it.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
It may feel as if you're working too hard and not getting enough in return. That could be true, but don't make too big a deal of it. This is just part of growing up and getting the experience to move on
Cancer (June 22-July 23) — Today is an 8.
Leave your wallet in your pocket. You've got what you need: friends, family, love and respect. If there's something you can't afford yet, don't worry.
You'll eventually get that, too.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
There are lots of tasks on your lists, but there's still time to get organized. A little extra planning now will save time and money later. Get input from the people who will be affected by the actions you're about to take. They'll love you for it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
Libra [Sept. 23-Oct 22] — Today is a 6
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
You are good at getting organized, so do that first. Your business agenda is packed, and you're deluged with social invitations. Don't worry about running yourself ragged. Concentrate on having fun
LGB 2015-09-23
You're smart. You like to ask questions and read books. This could save you a lot of money and make you a lot of money — right now. Read the labels. Pay attention so that you don't pay a fortune.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
You feel strongly about a sensitive domestic issue.
So does everybody else. How about calling a family meeting? You might not get it resolved, but you'll find out who thinks what. This is not a waste of time. It's good to know.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
Do you feel as if you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Actually, you are. It's just your turn for a while, that's all. Don't try to wiggle out of this. It's good for you. You're getting stronger.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You want to provide the very best for your family. There's a way to do that without merely throwing money at the problem. Luckily, your family and friends will tell you how to do it. Just ask.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You're a good analyst. You believe in doing-
homework and getting all the facts, so don't be dis-
mayed if your forward motion appears to be
blocked. Catch up on your reading while you're
waiting.
P
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You're learning and that's good. The problem is that some of the facts seem to contradict others. That's all part of the lesson. Dig deep to find out what is true and what is bogus.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Secretariat's Kentucky Derby record was challenged but not broken by Monarchos, and that pleases trainer John Ward.
Ward said that he would go to Pimlico — site of the Prekness on May 19 — on Monday or Tuesday and that he planned to send Monarchos there Wednesday.
"I hope it's never broken. I'm just glad we came close to it," Ward said after Monarchos won Saturday's Derby in 1:59 4-5, just two-fifths of a second off the track record set in 1973.
Monarchos is expected to have eight or nine rivals in the 1 3-16-mile Preakness, but the only Derby starters in the race are expected to be

Stadium roof collapses during soccer match
After the accident, fans clashed with police trying to make their way into Mottaqi Stadium in Sari, 155 miles northeast of Tehran.
TEHRAN, Iran — The roof of a stadium grandstand caved in, killing several fans and injuring hundreds during a soccer game Sunday, the official news agency reported.

State-run television showed images of fans wielding metal poles locked in battle with anti-riot forces on the soccer field. One wall of the stadium was torn down, and iron fences separating the grandstand from the field had been rooted out.
Some rioters started fires on the field, said Ali Ansarian, a player with Persepolis, one of the teams in the game.
It was not immediately clear what sparked the riots. Some 20,000 fans were in the stadium at the time of the collapse, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. It reported "hundreds" injured and "several" dead without giving exact numbers.
Ansarian said that he had seen at least 30 people dead.
Asghar Naghipour, a telephone operator at the Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari, said that his small hospital so far had taken in 160 injured people.
he said survivors had reported that fans had climbed on a roof that was under construction at the stadium to get a better view. "The greatest casualties appear to be from where that happened," he said.

Fans flock to KC's new racing track
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — They seemed happier than New Year's Eve partygoers and more excited than a kid on the first day of summer.
Rural residents wearing overalls arrived in mud-splattered pickups. Urbanites came jumping out of late-model sports cars and half-walked, half-jogged toward the grandstands.
Kansas Speedway, the Midwest's newest venture into big-time racing, began with a bang Sunday on "Meet Your Seat Day."
Fans who had purchased the 75,000 sold-out, brightly colored seats in the huge facility west of Kansas City were finally getting a firsthand look, feel, sound and smell of what big-time racing is going to be like.
They loved it.
It's going to be a blast, just a blast," said Cindy Morgan of Topeka. "I can't wait. We only bought two seats. I wish we'd bought more."
Accompanying 18-month-old Marie Alexander was her 86-year-old grandfather, Clarence Ford.

"I practically had to drag him out of that car," said his wife, Lenora. "But I understand how he feels. If I wasn't such a chicken, I'd have been out there with him."
For many racing fans, the arrival of big-time motor sports in Kansas City is like being liberated from the area's other two major sports, the Chiefs of the National Football League and the Royals of Major League Baseball.
down on the track, fans who had paid $425 to experience the sport from the driver's point of view roared 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round, doing 10 laps apiece on the surface where such Winston Cup stars as Jeff Gordon and Rusty Wallace will drive.

'Hawks sweep Wildcats into litterbox

The rain finally stopped, and the Kansas baseball team finally won a close game yesterday.
In a contest marred by three hours of rain delay, Kansas rallied from five runs down and completed a thrilling 8-7 ten-inning victory against Kansas State at Hoglund Ballpark.
With their wins yesterday and Saturday, the Jayhawks won their first Big 12 Conference series of the season and potentially might have prevented Kansas State from qualifying for the Big 12 Tournament.
"This was our first come-from-behind victory and our first one-run victory in conference, and we've scuffled all year to win those games and haven't won them," Randall said. "Close games have been our Achilles' heel, and it was great to see our team come back like they did today."
Down 7-5, Kansas junior Ryan Klocksen kicked off the ninth innight with a bloop single into right field. Senior Jessel Gremminger then
drove a 3-1 pitch over the wall in center field for a game-tying two-run home run.
"He had thrown a few pitches to the backstop, so I knew he was going to try to throw it right over the plate," said Gremminger of his fourth home run of the season. "I knew it hit it good, but I wasn't sure if it was going to go out."
Kansas eventually put runners on first and second with two outs in the ninth, and senior John Nelson smacked a rocket to deep center field. But Kansas State centerfielder Nick Sorenzen made an amazing diving catch on the warning track, which sent the game into extra innings.
Jayhawk junior Randy Strann put the Wildcats down in order in the tenth, and sophomore Jason Appuhn scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the imminent, helping the Jayhawks's dramatic win.
"It was such a great feeling when I scored," Appuhn said. "This was such a great way for our seniors to go out in their last Big 12 game."
Kansas got outhit by Kansas State on Saturday night, but a combination of Wildcat errors, timely
Jayhawk hitting, and a surprisingly smooth Jayhawk relief performance helped a Kansas 7-3 victory for a season-high 1,734 fans at Hoglund Ballpark.
Gremminger tripled and doubled in his first two at-bats while Kansas jumped out to a 2-0 lead. Tied at two in the fifth inning, Gremminger stepped to the plate with one out and runners on second and third. Instead of facing a hot hitter, the Wildcats decided to intentionally walk Gremminger and face sophmore Kevin Wheeler. Wheeler proceeded to knock the first pitch off the left field wall, scoring all three runners.
"Obviously, when they intentionally walk to get to you it kind of makes you a little bit mad." Wheeler said. "But I was just thinking he's not going to want to walk me so I thought he'd give me a good pitch to hit, and he did."
Junior Doug Lantz surpassed the 100-pitch mark for the seventh time this season in earning his third win of the season. Senior Eric Thompson relieved Lantz in the seventh and threw three scoreless innings, recording his second save
Senior Pete Smart's hard-luck season continued Fridays as Kansas State edged the Jayhawks 2-1 at Frank Myers Field in Manhattan. In giving up only two runs for his second straight start, Smart once again fell victim to a lack of run support.

When Matt Bowles sat down to pose for his KUID picture, he smiled wide, with two black eyes and a newlyhealed broken nose aimed at the camera.
Bowles is a fighter, and black eyes and broken noses are part of the business for the Naperville, IL., sophomore. But Bowles didn't get his injuries in a boxing ring, he got them on a karate mat.
Bowles is a black belt in two different martial arts forms, and because of his dual training, he has competed in six divisions of the martial arts, winning national and/or world titles in each division.
"I want to win all six at the same world games," Bowles said. "I consistently place in the top three in each division, so I think I could do it."
His national acclaim on the karate circuit started with a dream of being a martial arts master.
Infact, since being at the University of Kansas, Bowles has won two National Black Belt League circuit world titles. He has also become the fourth person to win the "triple crown" of the American Karate Association, winning the weapon, forms and fighting divisions at the national competitions.
"I just was always interested in it, I wanted to start it when I was 5, but no karate studio in the area would start anyone until they were 6." Bowles said. "So my parents enrolled me in gymnastics so I could gain flexibility,
so I did that and then I started."
Because of his father's job, Bowles moved around the Chicago area as a kid, and each time he moved, he had to find a new place to train or a new form to practice.
"I started off in a style called American Karate—it wasn't very traditional," Bowles said. "Now I'm a first-degree black belt in tang soo do, Korean form and a second-degree black belt in a Japanese form called shorei-ryu."
Although he was competing on the
national level his junior year of high school, Bowles' classmates hardly knew about his participation in the sport.
"I really didn't talk about it much," he said. "Mo'st people didn't even know until I was on the front page of The Chicago Tribune for winning my first world title."
Bowles' girlfriend, Jessica Barrand, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, said even now Bowles was hush-hush about his martial arts prowess.
"This was the third year he's been to
the World Games, and he hardly says anything," she said.
She said his frequently-bruised body and workout habits showed more than he could tell. Indeed, Bowles likens his workouts to a part-time job.
"Generally, Itrain seven days a week and sometimes twice a day." Bowles said. "IfI include the weightlifting and running and everything, it's about 20 hours a week."
But the training pays off — literally. Recently, his competition earnings bought him a 2001 pickup, which gets him to different flight locations.
Unfortunately, different competitions force him to split time between his friends on the competition circuit and his friends and girlfriend in Lawrence.
Although his social and school time can be cut short, Bowles said he knew it could all be worth it when he competed at the World Kickboxing Association world games in Vienna, Austria, in August.
"An Olympic committee will be coming to decide if they want to make karate a demonstrational sport at the next Olympics, and then it could be an official Olympic sport," Bowles said.
Bowles said that may help determine how long he will stay competitive.
"If it becomes an Olympic sport, then I will definitely stay in it and try to go to the Olympics," Bowles said. "But otherwise, I don't really have any goals as long as I will compete. But karate will be part of my life forever. I'm going to do it as long as I would enjoy it, and I can't myself not enjoying it."
Track teams place fourth at Husker Invitational
ine Kansas track and field team finished fourth in the men's and women's divisions at the Husker Invitational Quadrangular Meet on Saturday. The meet, in Lincoln, Neb., was the team's final regular season competition.
Nebraska won the men's and women's titles this weekend.
Although the Jayhawks lacked depth entering the meet, coach Stanley Redwine said he thought there were some strong performances at the meet.
Edited by Leita Schultes
"Points-wise, we didn't have the depth we needed to score big points," he said. "We are excited for those individuals that did well. I only see us getting better in the weeks to come."
Junior Ryan Speers won the shot put with a 58 foot, 5 3/4 inch toss, while junior Jeremy Hull recorded his best career performance and a victory in the pole vault with a jump of 16 feet. 8:34 inches.
Sophomore Benaud Shirley and junior Alex Thomas had personal bests, too. Shirley recorded a triple jump of 50 feet and finished second in the event. Thomas gained a personal best in the hammer throw with a 171-foot, 9-inch heave, which was good for fifth place.
"I had a lot of adrenaline in me because this was my first meet," Hackler said. "Now I've seen what I can do, and I just have to try and get better from this point on."
One of the more pleasant surprises came from a late-season addition to the team. Sophomore Tim Hackler, who also plays football for Kansas, placed second in the high jump with a 6-foot, 11 3/4-inch leap. The competition was Hackler's first since high school, he said.
On the women's side, the 4x40-relay team won its event with a time of 3:46.6, and freshman Stacy Keller finished second in the 400-meter dash with a time of 56.5.
Junior throwers Jennifer Foster and Andrea Bulat also enjoyed some success on Saturday. Foster won the disc event with a toss of 158 feet, 9 inches, while Bulat placed second in the javelin with a heave of 150 feet, 6 inches.
The Jayhawks' next competition will be at the Big 12 Championships on May 17-20 in College Station, Texas.

The Kansas Jayhawks Rugby Football Club is sponsoring a volleyball tournament at noon tomorrow.
The entrance fee is $30 per team and anyone can enter. Teams must have at least six players. The rugby team is hoping for 15-20 entries, which would reach its goal of $1,500.
"The fund raises for our club helps pay for a lot of the traveling we do around the country for tournaments and games throughout the year," said Brent Zluticky, collegiate club secretary and Wichita sophomore.
The majority of the proceeds will be for collegiate team travel and uniforms. These funds are also used to pay the coach's salary. The men's and women's club teams receive the remainder for basic operational costs.
The rugby team will play an exhibition game during the tournament

and will feature both the men's collegiate and men's club teams. They hope to attract new recruits to the team as interested people can sign up for the team at the tournament.
"We are always excited to encourage other athletes to come out and play rugby." Zluticky said. "This tournament and exhibition is a chance to show what our team is about."
The rugby team has had an increasingly difficult time recruiting players during the last few years.
Despite recruiting problems, the team had a solid year, taking second place in the Big 12 Conference tournament.
"When I started a few years ago we had a good number of players," said team member Will Lenz, Gurnee, Ill., junior. "This year was pretty tough."
"We played in four tournaments and won three of them," Lenz said. "We're not too bad."
The team won the Heart of America, Kansas City Invitational and Arkansas Invitational tournaments.
Rugby came to the University in 1964. Kansas was the first place rugby was played between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. The team came into its own in 1976 when its operations were formalized with a队 constitution, international tour dates, a team clubhouse and playing fields.
The team now has 375 alumni and social members, 425 member supporters and more than 45 active players.
The tournament will be at the Westwick Rugby Complex, located one mile south of 31st St. and two miles west of Iowa Street.
For any questions or to register for the volleyball tournament, contact Will Lenz at 842.9632.

to one run on three hits, all singles. The sophomore struck out four and walked two in the tough-luck loss that dropped her record to 8-12.
One run was all Nebraska pitcher Peaches James needed. The freshman had a no-hitter working until junior Megan Urquhart led off the seventh inning with a single, James kept Kansas hitters off balance by mixing a deceptive change-up with an overpowering fastball.
"She was the exact opposite of the pitchers in the first game," said Wright, who was 0-for-2 with a strikeout against James. "None of us had ever faced her before and she was tough to adjust to."
Kansas managed to rally in the seventh. The 'Hawks loaded the bases
with two outs, but James struck out
Mussel looking and ended the game.
The 'Hawks finished the weekend and the regular season, with a trip to Missouri yesterday.
Kansas scored first in the game, then fell behind 3-1. A two-run Sandy Smith single tied the score for Kansas in the seventh, but Missouri answered with the game-winning run in the seventh.
Junior twins Shelly and Christi Musser combined for three of Kansas' four hits against Missouri pitcher Stephanie Falk.
Pierce suffered the loss for Kansas, dropping her record to 21-10 on the season.
The 'Hawks will face fifth-seeded Oklahoma State (25-21, 8-1) at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament in

Senior rower balances sport with rigors of ROTC training
Continued from page 1B
Force ROTC leadership labs, and overseeing the preparation of cadets for summer field training.
"With all the responsibilities, it can be pretty stressful and challenging." Marquard said. "But the experience really has been invaluable because of what I've learned about myself and about trusting other people and what it takes to give and earn respect."
Marquart plans to finish her military career once she graduates. Having earned her pilot's license last fall, Marquart will leave for flight school at Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio, Texas, following her graduation. There Marquart hopes to pursue her eventual goal of becoming a fighter pilot for the Air Force.
While serving with the Air Force and being a member of the rowing team may not seem to have much in common, Marquart said the lessons learned from both have often overlapped.
"They both teach the importance of reputation and having a mission," Marquart said. "In a boat, you want a reputation that you're going to pull your butt off and in ROTC, you want a reputation for being willing to work hard.
"They also teach the importance of
being able to focus on the mission at hand and getting it done without being distracted."
For Marquart's teammates, the fact that she can handle so many different responsibilities so well is quite inspiring.
"I know that it's tough for her to juggle everything, but she does such an incredible job. Her stamina is just amazing," said sophomore Chelsea Carlin.
For Marquart, the added workload is much better than the alternative.
"When I came here, I had all these things I wanted to do and I didn't want to choose," she said. "So I just decided even if it meant more work, this is the way it has to be."
This weekend will likely be the end of Marquart's work for the Jayhawks on the water when the rowing team travels to Oak Ridge, Tenn., for the Central Region Rowing Championships. With the ample success the second varsity boat has been experiencing, Marquart intends to go out on top.
"I really believe that we can medal. That's our mission," she said. "To go down there and do that against all those other good crews would just be the best way to finish up."

Disabled athletes set example for average, lazy Americans
Yesterday morning I crawled from my bed on the first floor of K. A. Amini Scholarship Hall just after 10 a.m.
Still reeling from a raucous night of partying with my scholarship hall buddies, I felt like I had been run over by a two-ton dump truck.
After arriving a half-hour late to church, I spent the rest of the day eating, which, in case you couldn't tell from my picture, is something I really enjoy doing. I watched The Brady Bunch Movie, sprawled out on the couch and slept for two hours. When I woke up, I ate some more. A pretty good day, if you ask me.
But then a thought occurred to me. Perhaps I'm not meeting my full potential in life.
Then another thought hit me and a voice inside my head said,
"Brandon, when was the last time your lazy butt went for a run?"
The answer, of course, is never. Not one time in my entire life have I ever gone for a run. And while occasionally I trot around the bases during slow-pitch softball games, the painful truth is most normal people can walk faster than I "run."
Curious as to why these thoughts of worthlessness kept entering my mind, I racked my brain for answers. Then I remembered.
On Saturday I had gone to the Mid-America Games for the Disabled at Bishop Miege High School in Roeland Park. While there, I watched people with an assortment of disabilities compete in various athletic events. One of the athletes, Jeremy Burleson, a 25-year old
Sports Columnist
Brandon Stinnett
PETER HALDEN
sports@kansan.com
native of St. Joseph, Mo., is among the world's top athletes. Last year, he placed fourth in the pentathlon at the Paralympics in Sydney, Australia.
Burleson can run the 100 meters in just more than 12 seconds. On Saturday, he set a new personal record, running the event in 12.13 seconds, pretty amazing considering that he has just one leg (Heck, it takes me 12 seconds just to move from my couch to the bathroom).
Six years ago, Burleson, then a member of the United States Marine Corps, was injured when the truck he was riding in flipped over and landed on his right leg.
Doctors said they could save the leg by performing reconstructive surgery, but Burleson never would be able to run again. Instead of having the surgery that would have ensured that he could one day walk on his own two feet, Burleson opted to have his right leg amputated below his knee. Running was the one thing he couldn't live without.
"I just like to run to relax at the end of the day, to let all the stresses out," he said.
So doctors removed the leg and three months later, Burleson started training.
As if his athletic accomplishments weren't enough, Burleson is using is influence to help children with disabilities. He travels to middle schools in the Kansas City area and teaches youth the importance of meeting life's challenges with a positive attitude. Later this month he will speak at the national convention for the Amputee Coalition of America.
"Itry to help people out whenever I get the opportunity," he said. "I love to talk to kids."
In December he'll graduate with a psychology degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. From there, he's headed to Northwestern University to study prosthetics so he can help others similar to him.
And then, there's me.
As I type on my keyboard and shovel M&M's into my mouth, I can't help but think that life is more than what I've made of it.
Maybe I should run. Maybe I should work out, get in shape. I could volunteer at a homeless shelter or pick up trash along 23rd Street. Jeremy Burleson is an inspiration. But he's also a wake-up call. I should stretch myself to do more. Strive to help others. Make myself useful.
Will I do it? Who knows? The Brady Bunch Movie is pretty funny and I do like to sleep. But I do know that if there were more Jeremy Burleson's in the world, we'd be better off for it.

By Kalpana Srinivasan Associated Press Writer
Chris Botti's trumpeting adds texture and depth to a number of Sting classics, such as "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free." And guitarist Dominic Miller got a chance to display his own solo talents, after opening act Jill Scott canceled because of illness.
"Fill Her Up" from his latest record, a song which is about as close as the poised Englishman comes to singing in a country twang, glides almost seamlessly into "Fields of Gold," one of his most melodic solo ballads.
WASHINGTON — Stingeffortlessly trots through a cowboy-style Western ditty, swoops a blues number interrupted by French rap and still knows how to strip down to pure form the songs of the group that made him a legend.
A publicist for Scott said she was suffering from a lung infection and a high fever. She is expected to join the tour after a few days, when Sting performs in Greensboro, N.C.
On tour to promote his album Brand New Day, the former Police frontman uses that distinctive, throaty voice to sew together his eclectic musical endeavors.
Sting, clad in a pair of camouflage pants and a black tank top, made his romp through the various styles and genres of his own music look effortless. He benefits from an ensemble of musicians that can keep pace.
off of a U.S. tour, probably craved to hear a few more of the band's favorites during the nearly two-hour set. But what they got cleansed their ears from the remixed and sampled versions of Police classics that crowd the airwaves — such as "Every Breath You Take" — to remind them what those songs really sound like.
His rendition of "Roxanne" started off slow, went into a musical free-form midway through, and ended back up to speed. And his energetic "Every Little Thing" was one of the biggest audience-pleasers of the night, propelling a mellow crowd to its feet.
As part of his encore, Sting performed "Message in a Bottle" with only his guitar and lots of help from the audience. His voice soared through the MCI Center, the large downtown venue here.

Chipper Jones homers twice, Braves slide past Cardinals
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Chipper Jones can sense the Atlanta Braves' bats coming to life. He can't say the same thing about Kevin Millwood's alling shoulder.
Jones homered twice, giving him 200 for his career, and Wes Helms hit a two-run double in a three-run seventh inning as the
Atlanta
Braves beat
the St. Louis
Cardinals 7-5
yesterday.
"In the first game of the series, I was telling Merv
ST LOUIS
CARDINALS
(Rettennmund) I could feel us coming around." Jones said of his talk with the Atlanta hitting coach. "It's unfortunate, though, as far as Millwood is concerned. He's kind of been gimpy for a while, and everybody in here is certainly pulling for him. Maybe they can get him checked out and
figure out what's going on."
Atlanta had to use five relievers after Millwood left after two innings complaining of a stiff right shoulder.
"It's just got no zip, feels like there's no life in it," said Millwood, who will have an MRI today. "It feels dead, in a way."
With the game tied at 4-4 in the seventh, the Braves scored three unearned runs off Gene Stechschulte (0-2) with help from two errors by shortstop Edgar Renterla.
Andruw Jones opened the inning by reaching second base on a two-base throwing error by Renteria. Chipper Jones, who had four hits, then reached on an infield single that moved Andruw Jones to third base.
Renteria misplayed a grounder by Brian Jordan, allowing Andruw Jones to score the tiebreaking run. After a bunt single by Keith Lockhart, Helms hit a two-run double to center with one out and made it 7-4.
Jose Cabrera (1-0) relieved Jason Marquis with the bases loaded and no outs in the seventh inning. Cabrera got out of the jam, only allowing a game-tying sacrifice fl飞 by Albert Puilos.
John Rocker pitched the ninth for his eight save in 10 chances, allowing an RBI double by pinch-hitter Placido Polanco.
Millwood left the game after two innings with a stiff shoulder. He gave up three runs and two hits.
"It's been like this for a while, since the start of spring training, I guess," Millwood said. "It doesn't really ache, and it's not really a sharp pain. It just feels kind of numb."
The Braves had scored only 35 runs in 14 games at Turner Field this season before breaking through with seven yesterday. Game notes
- Pujos ended the first by grounding into his Major League high 11th double play.
- Ponteski won.
Renteria had only three errors entering the game.
Cubs finish home sweep of Dodgers
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Todd Hundley drove in the winning run with a single off Matt Herges in the ninth inning yesterday as the Chicago Cubs beat Los Angeles 3-2 to complete their first three-game home sweep of the Dodgers in 29 years.
CUBS
Tom Gordon (1-4) pitched a perfect ninth for his first win since September 2, 1998, when he was with Boston.
Rondell White led off the Cubs' ninth with a double off Herges (1-3), who then intentionally walked Sammy Sosa. Gary Matthews Jr. went on to run for White, and scored from second on Hundley's single to left with none out.
Chicago's Eric Young hit a sacrifice off fly offreiler Mike Fetters in
the eighth inning and tied the game 2.2.
Gary Sheffield had put the Dodgers ahead 2-1 with a two-out single in the eighth.
Marquis Grissom's solo shot in the second inning — his sixth homer of the season — gave Los Angeles its other run.
The Dodgers lost 20-1 Saturday, their worst defeat since they moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958.
Dodgers starter Eric Gagne allowed one unearned run on one hit and no walks through seven innings. He struck out six.
Gagne retired the first nine men he faced, but the Cubs got to him in the fourth.
Young hit an infield single and advanced to second on third baseman Jey Reboulet's throwing error. Ricky Gutierrez reached on a fielder's choice while advancing Young to third on a bunt. One out
later, Sosa hit a sacrifice fly to center and helped make it 1-1.
The Dodgers broke the tie in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Chris Donnels drew a one-out walk, and pinch-runner Tom Goodwin stole second. Mark Grudzielanek walked, and reliever Kyle Farnsworth struck out Reboulet.
Sheffield hit Farnsworth's 3-2 pitch into center and helped score Goodwin.
Chicago starter Jason Bere allowed two runs on four hits in 72-3 innings. He struck out six.

Twins win with Royals' help
KANSASCITY, Mo. — Brad Radke was not at his best yesterday. He did enough, though, to become the first eixe game adapter in the.
The Associated Press
six-game winner in the major leagues this season
Radke scattered seven hits in eight and 1/3 innings, leading the Minnesota Twins to a4-2 victory against the Kansas City Royals.

Royals
"I made a lot of mistakes," Radke said. "A lot of guys got themselves out. This probably wasn't my best game. Three or four guys made nice plays behind me."
Luis Rivas had three hits, including a home run, for Minnesota, which improved to 21-8, its best start since the 1979 team began the season with the same record.
Radke (6-0) lowered his ERA to 2.22, which second ranks in the AL.
He struck out five and walked none.
He has walked only four of the 206
batters he has faced this season.
buttress he has accused this "I don't strike out a lot of guys, so I need to cut my walks down," Radke said.
He threw 22 first-pitch strikes to the 33 Royals batted he faced.
"He's a strike threer, but not a strikeout pitcher," said Royals manager Tony Muser. "He has three real good pitches. He never shows a tendency."
Twins closer LaTroy Hawkins, who blew his first save in 24 career chances on Saturday, replaced Radke after he allowed one-out singles to Joe Randa and Mark Quinn in the ninth inning.
Hawkins walked a batter but got the final two outs, recording his 10th save this season. He got Hector Ortiz to fly out with the bases loaded, ending the game.
Radke gave up three singles in the first two innings, then retired 10 straight before allowing a run in the sixth inning.
'Radke's control wasn't as sharp as it has been, although I know it
didn't look that way," said Twins manager Tom Kelly. "Our defense made some nice plays. We did just enough on the offensive side to win, to get the job done."
Radke hit Luis Alicea leading off the sixth, and Alicea eventually came around to score on Jermaine Dve's sacrifice fly.
Cristian Guzman led off the game with his major-league leading seventh triple. He scored on Doug Mientklewicz's sacrifice fly, giving the Twins a 1-1 lead. Rivas' solo shot with one out in the sixth made it 2-0.
The Twins added two runs in the eighth with help from Dee Brown's fielding error on Tom Prince's fly to shallow center and reliever Jason Grimslay's wild pitch.
Royals pitcher Chad Durbin (0-2), called up from the minors on Tuesday, nearly matched Radke, but took the loss.
"I thought I had it, but it popped out of my glove," Brown said. "It's definitely my fault."
White Sox snap four-game skid
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Chicago White Sox paid attention to a pregame lecture from hitting coach Von Joshua on the value of patience at the plate.
Ray Durham and Jose Valentin had RBI singles in a four-run seventh inning as the White Sox snapped a
four-game skid with a 10-5 win against the Texas Rangers yesterday.
Chicago started the day 10th in the league with a team batting average of .249 and 12th in the AL with 4.1 runs per game.

BAYWALL CLUB
Joshua was particularly upset because of the performance of his hitters in Saturday night's 2-0 loss to Texas. The White Sox managed only three hits in eight innings off Rangers starter Ryan Glynn, who entered the game allowing an average of 14.9 hits and 7.2 walks per nine innings this season.
"I was pretty mad, pretty upset,"
Joshua said. "I told them to not let pitchers push us around. Be patient. Take what the pitcher gives you. If you get a slider outside, don't try to pull it. Go to right field with it and get a base hit. Don't try to hit home runs."
Manager Jerry Manuel was as dis- usted as Joshua.
"We had a much better approach today," Manuel said. "Hopefully we can understand how important it is to wait, not swing at balls that are outside. If we do that, we'll be fine. Von had a good meeting and got his point across."
The White Sox, off to their worst start since 1950, set a season high for runs. Chicago's four-run seventh matched its biggest inning of the season.
With Texas leading 4-3, the White Sox rallied in the seventh inning against Kenny Rogers (1-3). Royce Clayton led off with a walk and went to second on pinch-hitter Tony Graffanino's infield single with one out.
Durham's single scored Clayton, which tied it at 4-4. Then Valentin greeted reliever Mark Petkovsek with a single that scored the goahead run.
Magglio Ordonez followed with a grounder to third, and first baseman Rafael Palmeiro misplayed Ken Caminiti's throw for an error as Durham scored. Palmeiro made a second miscue on the same play when his throw back to third to get Valentin was also wild. Valentin scored, making it 7-4.
"I'm off to a rough start, but I'm going to keep my chin up and keep going," said Caminiti, who went 0-for-4 with an error. "It's been a struggle for me but I'm going to keep showing up."
David Wells (3-3)allowed four runs and eight hits in seven innings, notching his first win since April 19. Wells has been feuding with the Chicago media and refused to comment after the game.
Game notes
■ Ordonez was back in the White Sox lineup after missing Saturday's game with a sore right wrist.
- Durham left the game with a left leg injury after running out a ninth inning double. Durham was hit by a pitch in the first inning and the leg gradually tightened up.
