KU student found dead, suicide ruled as the cause
By Julie Carter

Kansan staff writer
The KU Public Safety Office's investigation of the death of University of Kansas student Manish Prasad determined that the death was a suicide, Sgt. Troy Mallen said.
A resident assistant and a friend found Prasad's body at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 9, in his room at Ellsworth Hall and then called the police.
Friends became concerned because they had not seen Prasad, Overland Park junior, since the night of May 7.
Prasad graduated from Shawnee Mission South High School in 1998 and was a scholarship student majoring in computer engineering at the University. He was also the public relations officer for the KU Association for Computing Machinery.
Jimmy Henderson, Overland Park junior and friend of Prasad, said the death came as a surprise.
Henderson said he and Prasad had been friends for nearly five years
"Manish was one of the best friends I ever had," Henderson said. "He was a unique guy. That is one of the reasons I liked him so much."
Henderson described Prasad as intelligent and honest. He said he didn't understand why Prasad chose suicide over other options.
"Friends are always willing to help out and talk." Henderson said.
"but and talk," Henderson said. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said suicides or suicide attempts in the residence halls were rare occurrences, usually taking place only once every three or four years.
"The RAs are trained for this type of situation, but there is nothing quite like it when it actually happens. It's more traumatic and complicated when we have to deal with it." Stoner said.
Counselors from Counseling and Psychological Services were on hand to meet with friends and residents after the death.
"We just love him so much, this is very hard for us," said Mohan Prasad. Manish's father.
Students seeking counseling should contact CAPS at 864-2277.

KU hires athletic consultant

Kansan staff writer
Kansas Chancellor Robert Mheenway has enlisted the services of the athletics director of one of the most successful collegiate athletic programs in the nation to assess the current state of KU athletics.
Ted Leland, athletic director at Stanford University, was hired by Hemenway on May 31 as a special consultant to examine the University's Athletics Department policies, procedures, strengths and weaknesses. Hemenway plans to use Leland's findings to expedite the process of finding a new athletics director. Bob Frederick, KU's current athletics director, announced his June 30 resignation in early May.
"Ted Leland's report will give our new athletics director an objective review of the department from outside eyes, 'Hemenway said in a statement. 'We often do this when a long-time leader leaves. It is a chance to get a fresh view.'"
Hemenway said Leland's review will start as soon as possible and should be completed before the end of the summer. Hemenway said he hopes to be able to provide the new athletics director with Leland's report when the director takes the post.
"His findings will provide a nice point of departure for the new athletics director and a set of information from one of the top athletics directors in the country. He will provide a nice tool for the new athletics director." Reggie Robinson, search committee chairman, said.
Robinson said that Leland will play no part in the actual selection of candidates but will provide valuable information about the department to the newly appointed director.
Since Leland became the athletic director at Stanford in 1991, the university has won 37 national team titles, including a record-setting six team titles in 1996-1997. Stanford also won the Sears Director's Cup, which honors the top athletic program in the nation, for the last six years.

ment from outside eyes." Robert Hemenway

Leland helped increase Stanford's assets and endowments from $62 million to $205 million during his 10-year reign. In addition, about $80 million in new or renovated athletic facilities were completed and funded during Leland's tenure.
Leland also served as the chairman of the NCAA Management Council.
A 16-member search committee and the executive search firm of Heidrick & Struggles are in the early stages of identi-
ying candidates to replace Frederick. The firm helped fill athletics directors vacancies at Arizona State, Louisiana State, Michigan and Notre Dame.
The most recent addition to the search committee is former KU running back Gale Sayers. Robinson said Sayers wasn't initially on the committee but expressed an interest and the committee was glad to have him aboard.
Robinson said Heidrick & Struggles would recommend candidates to Hemenway but will not release the candidates' names to the public.
"My hope is the only name you'll hear is the newly appointed athletics director's." Robinson said. "We like to keep a tight lid on the process and keep people's names out of the media."
Robinson said the search committee wants to have a list of viable candidates for Hemenway's consideration by late June or early July.

Death prompts research
Professor completes research that slain student had started
By Karen Lucas
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansas
A University of Kansas professor will pay tribute to an undergraduate student who was killed last month in Costa Rica by completing the student's research there this summer.
Craig Martin, professor of biology, plans to spend a week in Golfito, a coastal city in southern Costa Rica, to finish the field work on tropical ferns that Shannon Martin was working on before her death.
"She was a wonderful person, highly intelligent, highly motivated and extraordinarily friendly to everybody," said Craig Martin, who supervised the Topeka senior's research project. "I want to finish the study in her honor."
Shannon Martin's project will be suitable for publication and she will be listed as its first author once Craig Martin, of no relation to Shannon, finishes the research in Golfito.
Shannon Martin, a major in biodiversity, ecology and evolutionary biology, was fatally stabbed in Golfito the second weekend in May. She went there for a brief research trip after finishing her final exams early and was scheduled to come back to Lawrence for graduation.
According to La Nacion, a newspaper in Costa Rica, Martin's body was found near the airport in the early morning of May 13. She previously had been with friends at a local disheteer. The paper also reported that a kitchen knife and shirt were among the items later seized during a police search of three houses and that two men and a woman were under investigation by law enforcement officers. Some hair samples were taken as well for analysis.
Golfito is also the site of a KU study abroad program, in which she participated during the spring 2000 Semester.
David Schmitz, Martin's boyfriend, and Susan Gronbeck Tedesco, interim director of study abroad, made a two-day trip to retrieve Martin's body.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in San Jose, Costa Rica, said Monday that she could not comment on the ongoing investigation.

"When Shannon was finally back here, it all became very real," Gronbeck-Tedesco said.
In addition to funeral services in Topeka, a dinner and service of remembrance and celebration were held at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, where Martin was a co-founder of the Thursday vegetarian lunches. The Rev. Thad Holcombe said a memorial tree would be dedicated at one of the lunches.

Logging on to get the grade, Web site fixed but not perfected
By Brandy Straw
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students continually checking the University of Kansas Web site for their grades caused the Web site to respond slowly to all the requests, a representative from Academic Computing Services said.
Cathy Smith, director of Academic Computing Services, said most of the slowness occurred the week before May 21 when students began checking their grades. This caused the whole Web site to operate at a slow pace.
"I was dissapointed," said Matthew Zaller, Tulsa Senior. "The old one was easier."
Zaller said it took him more than a week to find his grades with the current system. "The system where you got it from the Registrar was a lot easier and a lot more convenient," he said. Zeller attributed this problem to congestion on the Web site.

gram producing the most delays. These "bottlenecks" were identified and fixed so that the Web site was running much faster by Monday, May 21 — the deadline for faculty to turn in grades.
"It was slow, but easy," Lewis said
Smith said the University's home page and the Registrar's Web site also indicated that students should not check for their grades every five minutes. She said that the grades were updated only once a day.
Smith said the Web site had never experienced this type of problem because this was the first time students had access to their grades on the Web.
Academic Computing Services received about 100 to 150 complaints, Smith said.
The Web site has continued to respond quickly since the "bottlenecks" were fixed, she said.
"The solutions put in place will remain in effect for the future," Smith said.

Smart recently completed his four-year career as a Jayhawk and had one of the
best seasons of any KU hurler in history. A second team All-Big 12 Conference selection, the southpaw finished the 2001 season with a 3.20 ERA while posting a 9-4 record in 16 starts. The KU single-season record holder in innings pitched, Smart finished his career sixth on the Jayhawks' all-time victories list with 20 and seventh on the KU strikeouts list with 202. Smart's accomplishments were not limited to on-the-field activities.
Rowing team finishes season ranked 23rd
Smart was a four-time Academic All-Big 12 selection, in addition to being named the University of Kansas Male Scholar Athlete of the Year.

Stewart, the first KU golfer to individually qualify for the national meet since Chris Thompson in 1998, finished his second round 15
strokes behind tournament leader Ricky Barnes of Arizona. Stewart's one-under-par 71 first round on Wednesday was good enough to place him in the top 10 — just five strokes out of first place.
Despite faltering in the second-round, Stewart still improved upon his MasterCard ranking as the 99th best collegiate golfer.
Stewart recorded the third-best stroke average (74.46) for the University this season and also had the low round score of 66. Stewart had four top 10 and six top 25 finished this season. He had the best KU individual performance at four tournaments. He finished third in two tournaments, including the NCAA Central Regional Tournament.
Jaclyn Johnson makes debut with Orlando
Kansas 2001 graduate and WNBA rookie Jacyln Johnson made her regular season debut with the Orlando Miracle Friday, logging 18 minutes of play. Johnson went 2-for-3 from the field, finishing with four points, a rebound, a steal and one block. Johnson and the Miracle can be seen in a nationally televised game June 18 on ESPN.

KU senior shortstop John Nelson was drafted in the eighth round of the Major League Baseball draft yesterday afternoon by the St. Louis Cardinals. He is the second Jayhawk in the past two years to be drafted in a top ten round.
This season, the second team All-Big 12 performer from Denton, Texas, batted .312 and led the baseball team with six triples and four home runs. He set the Big 12 records for steals in a game, season and career during his four years at Kansas.

Battery charges send former star to jail
— Lauren Brandenburg
Steve Woodberry, a former KU basketball player who played from 1990 to 1994, was arrested at 5:15 p.m. Friday at a car wash in the 2800 block of Four Wheel Drive on charges of domestic battery and criminal damage, said Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department.
Woodberry met with girlfriend Stephany Dyer, Olathe, at the car wash to exchange clothing for their children when a dispute began, Patrick said.
He said Woodberry pushed Dyer into the driver's side door of her Mazda 626 sedan, causing two dents that totaled $400 damage. He then choked Dyer, Pattrick said. Pattrick said Dyer did not seek emergency medical treatment.

The Merc makes move to 9th and Iowa shop
The Community Mercantile Co-Op has moved to a new and bigger location.
The Merc closed its doors last Thursday at 901 Mississippi Street and reopened Monday at 901 Iowa Street, former home of Alvin's IGA. The move makes the Merc into a full service grocery store specializing in natural foods. It will be one-and-a-half times the size of the old store.
"It was an opportunity for us to expand and really secure our place in the community as a natural foods leader," Nancy O'Conner, marketing director, said.

From the editor's desk
Readers should look for changes
Summer 2001 Kansan promises altered content and a new look
Every semester, the face of the University Daily Kansan changes.
From management to reporting, and production to advertising,
111 Stauffer-Flint Hall is restored with different people with fresh ideas in new roles. The basic mission and process of the Kansan remain con-
stant, but each staff brings about its own evolution, especially in the summer.
Emily Hughey
Kansan editor
editor@kansan.com
Still, not everyone is aware that the Kansan publishes during summer classes. Every Wednesday in June and July, students can find the Kansan on campus and on the Web.
Although it looks similar, readers should not expect the same publication this summer as in the fall and spring or in summers before. The Kansan will undergo more changes next week than usual.
Some changes already have taken place. By nature, a weekly paper is different than a daily one in that it often covers news after the fact. For example, this issue updates readers on events that happened weeks ago when the Kansan was not publishing. At the same time, it includes news and features that deal with coming events.
The weekly summer Kansan will make the transition from a publication focused on hard news to a paper dominated by news-features. Staff
reporters and contributing reporters will cover stories from their beats, which include multicultural, on-campus, police, sports, administration, general assignment and entertainment and recreation. Because campus sports are inactive during the summer, we instead will have an entertainment section that includes stories, entertainment reviews and a forecast of the week's weather.
Although the Kansan's overall content will be altered—noticeable to some and undetectable to others—the mechanical format of the Kansan will mark the real change.
In keeping with the industry trend, the *Kansan* has opted to move to a smaller page size. The paper will be one inch narrower, a decision that benefits everyone overall. For the *Kansan* as a business, the smaller size is more economical. For readers, the design is easier to handle. For the environment, the cutback in paper size helps to reduce the amount of pulp processed to produce it.
Aside from changes in content and size, the paper's actual design will take new form as well. The Kansan's new look will reflect the cleaner, more professional mission the publication has always embraced. A collaboration among several journalism students, the redesign process included months of research, dozens of drafts and hours of discussion to produce what readers will see next Wednesday.
As always, we welcome readers' feedback regarding Kansan coverage and encourage them to take an active role in their student publication, the University Daily Kansan.
Fear no factor in return to Costa Rica
Continued from page 1A
"It's just a way to be continually reminded of her presence," Holcombe said.
Although Martin never made it back to walk down the hill with her fellow graduates, she was remembered at commencement.
At one point in his commencement address, Chancellor Robert Hemenway mentioned Martin, and her picture was shown on the screen in Memorial Stadium.
"I though it was very well done," said Stacey Steeple, a May graduate from Stockton who met Martin last year in Costa Rica. "It was an
emotional moment."
Martin's death comes just more than a year after two other young Americans were killed in Costa Rica. TheDetroit News reported that the bodies of Emily Howell, a student from Antioch College, and friend Emily Eagen, were found in March 2000 in a ditch near Puerto Viejo.
However, Shannon Martin's death doesn't have Craig Martin thinking twice about traveling to Golffito.
"What has happened here has no bearing on my feelings about the danger of going there," he said.
He will not be the only representative from the University venturing

program in Golffite, also will be there for a couple weeks to assist the students, said Gronbeck Tedesco.
After sending a letter to study abroad advisors and participants about what took place last month in Golfto, Gronbeck-Tedesco did not get any cancellations for either the summer or fall sessions. A faculty committee will convene at a later date to review the Costa Rica program, she said.

"Serious Drinks for Drinking Seriously"
KU graduate's life shines after death
By Down North
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Amy Watkins' mother will never receive another phone call from her daughter, nor will she have the privilege of loving and spoiling the grandchildren Amy might have given her.
Amy has been dead for two years and now her killer is being sentenced. David Jamison, 28, will be sentenced Thursday for the March 8, 1999, murder of Amy Watkins. Watkins, a 26-year-old 1996 KU graduate from the School of Social Welfare, was walking to her apartment after finishing her shift at a New York City domestic-violence shelter when she was stabbed to death.
A second accomplice, Felix Rodriguez, will be charged with second-degree murder June 10 for his alleged role in standing guard during the assault.
With tomorrow's sentencing of Jamison and the impending investigation of the death of KU student Shannon Martin, homicides of young
women are gaining more attention in Kansas. For Margy Tafoya, Watkins' mother, the attention is centered within her home.
"I miss those phone calls and I miss having mother-daughter conversations," she said. "We had become more and more close as time went on."
She misses her daughter's voice mostofall.
Watkins, who was working on her graduate degree at the Hunter College School of Social Work, counseled women and children at the New Settlement House in the Bronx. Tafoya said her daughter always had a fond heart for abused women and was very bright and artistically talented. She thought it was fitting that Amy used art as a healing bridge to help the children and their mothers at the Settlement House.
Tafiya said she wears something of her daughter's every day, whether jewelry, a scarf or another personal item.
Many of those same children wrote letters to Watkins and her family after

January 19, 2001 The district attorney announces he will seek life without parole rather than death penalty for Jamison. May 18, 2001 The jury finds David Jamison, 28, guilty of second-degree murder and robbery. He is acquitted of first-degree murder, which carries a potential sentence of life without parole. June 8, 2001 Jamison will be sentenced. June 10, 2001 Rodriguez, charged with second degree murder in the case, will be in court.

she was killed. One little girl, Ciamero, wrote, "I will never see you again because of what happened, but you will always be in my heart forever."
Another girl, Deshele Young, wrote,
"You was always a sunshine person
and waking up on the right side of the
bed."
Most people saw Watkins that way. Her aunt, Judy Gehm, said that Watkins always talked a mile a minute and was a sparkly person. She
said that when the family used to go on trips to Door County, Wisc., members switched Amy back and forth between cars because she talked so much.
"She was like a bright star, a nova, that burned brightly and went out too soon." Gehm said.
She said it was hard because Watkins lost her future.
Death is something that is never expected, especially for the young. However, in 1988, 8.6 percent of the United States' 270,289,524 population
died. Accidents accounted for 97,855 of the total deaths, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, and were listed as the fifth leading cause of all U.S. deaths. Homicide was listed as the 13th leading cause of death.
In their book, A Woman's Guide to Personal Safety, Minneapolis police officers Jane Hanteau and Holly Keegel write that many college-age girls think that nothing bad is going to happen to them. They caution women to pay close attention to their surroundings, to be careful when they go to parties, to not drink too much and to try not to walk across campus alone.
Alice Lieberman, one of Watkins's professors and current chairwoman of the KU undergraduate program for the School of Social Welfare, said she was sure that Watkins felt living in a big city was worth the risk.
"The newspapers portrayed Amy as the girl from Kansas who moved to the big city to change the world." she said. "And it was true."
Hemenway fills position to boost KU's image
Edited by Jeff Denton
Former Clinton aid looks forward to new challenge
By Mark Hansen
writer @kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The image and lobbying clout of the University of Kansas will get a boost from the White House's West wing starting in early July.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway filled a new position in the
University's administrative brass May 17. He named Janet Murgula as executive chancellor for University Relations.
Murguia will be in charge of stabilizing the University's image in the eyes of parents, prospective students and budget makers.

Murguia; she will provide input to the University's public relations department.
and university-deep."
She will provide input into the university's public relations across the board, including the Athletics Corporation, Endowment and Alumni Associations.
Murguia hails from the Argentine neighborhood in Kansas City, Kan. She earned undergraduate degrees in journalism and Spanish and a law degree from the University.
Under President Clinton's administration, she was a deputy assistant and deputy director of legislative affairs, in which she served as the senior White House laison to Congress.
More recently, she was a deputy campaign manager for the Gore-Lieberman presidential campaign.
Murgia, who is Hispanic, will join Karen, Swisher, president of Haskell Indian Nations University, as a minority woman with a high-ranking administrative university position in Lawrence.
person.
"I'm honored that Chancellor Hemenway chose me," Murgia said. "It sends a signal. As a woman of color, it puts the right face on higher education. I have worked with Haskell in the past; it has a very special relationship with KU I hope we can further develop." Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said she thought Murgia would help coordinate KU's public relations.
"We are elated it is the beginning of a new era. I think what Janet Murgia will bring to us will tie
"I'm looking forward to taking on the position, reviewing, listening and learning and then putting together a plan."

everyone together, make sure we are on the same sheet of music." Bretz said. "It is a matter of coordinating our resources; she will be kind of like a symphony coordinator, making sure that we are all working in concert."
murgia will be on the same organizational level as Provost David Shulenburger and Don Hagen, executive vice chancellor for the University of Kansas Medical Center. In fact, murgia's total salary will be $195,000, surpassing Shulenburger's $106,068 salary. Hemenway makes $207,489 and Hagen makes $241,117.
"It is a coup on the chancellor's part," Britz said. "Lots of law firms were after her with more lucrative deals. She is at a high level, and her salary makes sense. That just goes to show what it costs in this day and age."

Hashinger resident injured from tumble off eighth-floor ledge
Freshman's fall resulted in two broken ankles
By Julie Carter
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
He was treated for two broken ankles and a shattered left heel bone and was released, said Chris Keary, assistant director of police for the Public Safety Office.
Ward, Kingman freshman, was out on the window ledge of the eighth-floor lobby smoking a cigarette when he lost his balance and fell. A friend had asked Ward to return to the lobby. Keary said. He said Ward had been drinking beer before the incident and did not remember much about the night.
Police were called to the scene at 1:35 a.m. after witnesses heard obscenities from above and saw a male fall and land on
the roof of the entry way. Witnesses said they saw a hand reaching out the window to grab the falling student, who fell about 41 feet.
Ward was lying on his back on the roof when police arrived.
"We see students on ledges from time to time," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. "It is very dangerous."
He said the ledges were not meant to be used as patios for personal use. Instead, he said the ledges were meant to displace heat and keep the residence halls cooler.
Occasionally students place things on the ledges, such as signs or decorations. Stoner said, but he said this was also against the housing department's rules and action would be taken in those instances.
"We'll see something on the ledge occasionally, but I don't recall anything like this." Stoner said.
The window screen had been removed and placed on the floor next to the window, Keary and Stoner said. Stoner said the screens were easy to remove but should not be tampered with.
Ward could not be reached for comment.

Fate of retake policy undecided
By Brandy Straw
Kansan staff writer
The future of the course retake policy now rests with Provost David Shulenburger and Chancellor Robert Hemenway after the University Senate approved it Monday, May 7.
The mail-in-balloons in May favored the policy by a narrow margin of 20 votes. Of the 476 ballots received from the 1,400-member University Senate, 248 were for the policy and 228 were against.
Associate Provost Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett said there were many arguments for and against the proposed course retake policy. The policy would allow students to repeat courses from their first 60 hours in which they received a D or F. Only the new grade would factor into their grade point averages. However, students choosing to retake a course in which they received a grade of an A, B
or C would have the two grades averaged in their grade point average. Students who transfer to the University with 60 or more hours would be able to retake courses from their first semester at the University.
Kevin Hoskinson, Garden City senior, said that this policy would have benefited him in classes he has had to retake because his grade point average reflects both grades.
To prevent students charged with academic misconduct from benefiting from the policy, students seeking to repeat a class in which they received a D or F will have to register with the dean of the school, in which the course was offered
Mary Ann Rasnak, director of the student development center, also supports the proposed course retake policy.
that allows students to make the most of their classes and what they do," said Rasnak.
"I think it is a good retention tool
Both McCluskey-Fawcett and Rasnak agree new students would benefit from the policy.
Bud Hirsch, associate professor of English, said he is opposed to the policy.
"I don't think it is necessary," said Hirsch. "I don't know what it solves."
Hirsch said he believes students know how they are doing in classes and that it was their own responsibility to maintain their grades. If a student is receiving a failing grade, then the student has the whole semester to take the necessary steps to improve the grade. He said the policy could promote irresponsibility in certain students.
Emily Newcomer, Wakeeney sophomore, said she thought the course retake policy was a good idea.

"If anything it will push people to work harder the second time around." Newcomer said.
As a result of a signed petition, ballots were mailed to members of University Senate when the April 19 meeting failed to have one-fifth of the Senate's 1,400 members present. No decision can be made until Chancellor Hemenway returns from Russia. He is scheduled to return June 10.
"I think that people are concerned about retaining students, especially new students," said Rasnak.

The Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center, 4706 Overland Drive, has an Olympic size swimming pool and a pool designed specifically for children and young adults including a spiral water slide and numerous water-spraying toys. Above, a boy is drenched in water shooting in all directions from one of the toys in the wading pool.
Swimming in the rain
Lawrence pools offer recreation for all ages, even in bad weather
Story by Luke Wetzel - Photos by Aaron Showalter

The water fountain in the kids pool provides a source of endless amusement for Lawrence residents Heather Burkham and her father, Ray, when they visit the new Indoor Aquatic Center, 4706 Overland Drive. "She'd stay here all night if I let her," Burkham said of his daughter.
The atmosphere on Monday afternoon at the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center was not a lively one.
A solitary lap-swimmer practiced his backstroke while a handful of kids traded off doing jackknives off the diving board. An orange utility cone sat in place of a lifeguard atop the waterslide. The plastic lilypads were empty.
On a day when pooloogers were more likely to catch pneumonia than rays of sunshine, dozens of children frolicked in the water not too far away.
The recent opening of the $8.3 million Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center will keep eager swimmers from having to wait for the sun.
Lori Madaus, a manager at both aquatic centers, said she was pleased with the success of the new center.
"It's been well received by the community," she said. "It's where all the kids are today."
The indoor center, located at 4706 Overland Drive next to Lawrence Free State High School, features a zero-depth area with a giant blue slide, spray toys and plastic animals. The center also has an Olympic-sized swimming pool with lap lanes, a water basketball hoop, and a big play shark that dozens of children unsuccessfully try to wrestle to the pool floor.
"I think they both have their own good qualities," Madaus said of the centers. "The slide is really popular with the kids and the adults like to swim laps. It depends on the age."
Maddaus said attendance at both centers had been high despite the rainy weather. She said between 1,500 and 3,000 people visited the outdoor center on a good day. At 2 p.m. Monday there
were only a few.
Lifeguard Katie McCloskey said she doesn't like cloudy days.
"They're horrible," she said. "I've only been here since 12:30, but it seems
like I've been here all day. I'd rather it be busy."
McCloskey, one of 60 lifeguards for both centers, was a lifeguard in Atchison for four years before working as one in Lawrence.
"Coming from a small town, it's quite different," she said. "When it busy, it's fun. You don't have to get up early and you get a good tan."
However, not all University of Kansas student swimming enthusiasts
are in search of tans. Ben Burton, Ocean, N.J., senior and Stephen Davis, Topeka junior, prefer to swim by moonlight. Burton and Davis are self proclaimed "aquanauts," a group they formed to promote pool-hopping at apartment complexes.
"It's pretty self-explanatory," said Burton, the group's founder. "An astronaut is somebody who explores space, and an aquanaut is somebody who explores water, or in this case, the pools of Lawrence."
Burton said the average hop involved pulling up, staking out the premises and taking only a quick dip.
"This isn't a leisurely swim," he said. "We like the cover of darkness and show a fanaticism for well-cholorined water and quality deck furniture to lounge on."
Davis, who wears goggles, employs his beer-belly as a flotation device and admitted to secretly loving chlorine, boasted of the group's perfect record of stealth.
"No aquanaut has ever gone down in the line of duty," he said. "You just have to remember it's easy to see pale people at night."
Both Burton and Davis said they also enjoy legitimate swimming at the outdoor center.
"I like to hit the slides, the lilypads and the diving boards once I work up the nerve," Davis said. "Usually I just spin underwater and pretend to be a dolphin. I can't wait until it gets sunny again."
McCloskey agrees.
"It's hard to get a tan when you're wearing long sleeves."

P
Pisces (February 20-March 20).
C
Late Tuesday, Capricorn, a lover or close friend may ask for rare emotional guidance. All may seem small, Capricorn, but an alert attention to detail may now reflect an important emotional issue. Offer support and comfort. Social and family relations will soon regain their balance.

PEARL HARBOR
HONOLULU — In openings timed to match the minute of the attack nearly 60 years ago, moviegoers turned out at several Oahu, Hawaii, movie houses at dawn Friday, May 25, for the first showings of Pearl Harbor.
LAURENCE LAROUSSE
The first showing at Signature Theaters in Windward Mall was at 7:49 a.m., the minute the Dec. 7, 1941, attack was ordered. On that day, Japanese fighter planes passed over Oahu's North Shore, some of them heading down the island's windward side to bomb the Kaneho Marine Base.
Pearl Harbor showing timed with 1941 attack
Fans began lining up around 5 a.m. Friday, May 25, at Consolidated Amusement's new multiplex at the Ward Entertainment Center for 7:55 a.m. showings on five screens. The public opening of the film also marked the opening of the 16-screen theater complex.
The Disney blockbuster also had early morning showings at the Dole Cannery and Pearl Highland complexes. Each theater devoted several screens to the three-hour film, which premiered on Monday, May 21, aboard the air craft carrier USS John C: Stennis in Pearl Harbor.
At the Ward complex in Honolulu, patrons received a free bag of popcorn with each ticket, and the complex was giving away a car, trips to Hollywood and Las Vegas and other prizes.

Jarrett steals Speedway title
The Associate Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan.— Sure, Jason Jarrett would like to get back to the NASCAR circuits someday. But not iust yet.
"I'm not focusing on that. I'm just focusing on winning ARCA Rookie of the Year," said Jarrett, the son of 1999 Winston Cup champion Dale Jarrett and grandson of two-time NASCAR Grand National champion Ned Jarrett.
That focus is paying off for the younger Jarrent. He moved into third in the stands, behind veterans Frank Kimmel and Tim Steele, after his Chevrolet pulled ahead of Kimmel's Ford with four laps left to win Saturday's ARCA RE/MAX BPU 200 at the new Kansas Speedway.
It was the first win at the national level for Jarrett, 25, who is racing a full ARCA season this year after struggling on NASCAR's Busch Grand National circuit.
"That's a great win for him," said Kimmel, who won the NASCAR Winston West Kansas 100 earlier Saturday, in the first race at the $224 million track. "If you've got to get beat, I guess you'd want to get beat by someone like him."
It it didn't hurt Jarrett that Kimmel — who had won his four previous ARCA starts and would have earned a $15,000 bonus with a sweep on Saturday — developed engine trouble on the 131st lap of the 134-lap BPU 200.
"Wo broke a valve spring or something like that," said Kimmel, whose Ford led for 80 laps. "He was catching me pretty quick."
Kimmel was the one executing a late pass in the first race, though — winning a shootout with 19-year-old Jon Wood in the Kansas 100.
After Johnny Borneman's Ford crashed and caught fire in the 93rd lap, forcing a caution, the field got the green flag with only two laps left in the 100-lap race.
Kimmel, driving a Chevrolet, went onto the apron to pass Wood's Ford on the restart. He lost the lead by
a nose on the backstretch of the final lap, then regained it in the third turn to become the Kansas Speedway's first winner.
"I would have loved to go home as a two-time winner at the Kansas Speedway, but I guess it just wasn't to be." Kimmel said, "but it's an honor to be at a racetrack like this."
Tire blistering on the new track proved a problem on Saturday — especially for circuit-hopping driver Ryan Newman, who for the second straight week crashed after winning a pole.
Newman, who crashed in the 11th lap of the Coca-Cola 600 in Winston Cup action last Sunday, blew his right front tire and hit the wall in Turn 3 in the 87th lap of the BPU 200. He was running second to Kimmel at the time.
The crash denied Newman, who is racing an ABC schedule this season — for ARCA, Busch and Cup — a chance for his second win in as many ARCA outings this year.
He is scheduled to compete in the Kansas Speedway's Winston Cup event, the Kansas 400 on Sept. 30.
“It’s safe to say everyone was having tires blistering and coming apart the whole race,” he said. “Unfortunately, ARCA didn’t throw a caution probably when they should have. Everyone on pit road is blistering tires, but ARCA and Hoosier don’t want to admit it.”
Kimmel, however, said there was no one place to fix blame.
"When they tested here, it was cool, with a lot of dust on the track, and the speeds weren't what they are now," he said. "Hoosier brought everything they thought would work, but it's completely different.
"You've got to test here when it's 75, 80 degrees," Kimmel said. "It's not really their fault, it's not our fault, it's not the track's fault."

The Producers takes the Tonys
The Associated Press
NEW YORK— Say goodbye, Dolly!
The Producers, Mel Brooks' musical comedy about two showmen scheming to get rich by staging a theatrical flop about Nazis, shattered a Broadway record Sunday when it won 12 Tony Awards.
Sweeping every category in which it was nominated, including best musical, it topped the 10 Tonys that Hello, Dolly! won in 1964.
David Auburn's Proof, which won the Pulitzer Prize for drama earlier this year, won three awards, including best play.
But Sunday was Brooks' night. In between one-liners, he giddily found time to thank just about everyone for his musical juggernaut, including cast, crew, supporters and family.
He also cracked, "I want to thank Hitler — for being such a funny guy on stage."
With a torrent of gushing reviews and record box-office numbers, *The Producers* was an odds-on favorite to dominate the Tonys. And in quick
succession Sunday, it swept a half-dozen of the coveted awards for choreography, orchestration, direction of a musical, lighting design, costume design and scenic design.
Brooks clearly sensed the evening's inevitability. After one early acceptance speech, he cockily informed the Radio City Music Hall audience, "I'll see you in a couple of minutes."
Three of the musical's actors won Tony's: Nathan Lane (best actor-musical) for his portrayal of the creatively devious Max Bialystock; Cady Huffmann (best featured actress-musical) for her role as the star-searched clueless blond; and Gary Beach (featured actor-musical) for his portrayal of self-absorbed director Roger De Bris, who flamboyantly leads the cast in the song, "Springtime For Hitler," the show's most famous number.
Susan Stroman accepted the awards for musical direction and choreography; the latter honor marked the second consecutive year she has won it, after last year's Contact.
Producers to audiences in the 1960s as a madcap movie, won for original score and, along with Thomas Meehan, for best book of a musical.
Brooks, who first brought The
His voice cheery but scratchy, Brooks needled the losing nominees, noting that they picked the wrong time to début their work on Broadway.
"Any other year, you guys would have won — I assure you of that. But (The Producers) is a phenomenon, so forgive us for that," he said.
Most upstaged by The Producers was the musical The Full Monty, which won much critical acclaim and got 10 nominations but took home no Tonys.
Lane, who previously won a Tony for A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, dragged his co-star and fellow nominee, Matthew Broderick, on stage and accepted on behalf of both of them.
"We are very much a team ... believe me, without him, I'm nothing." Lane said with his arm around his co-star. Broderick quickly and politely backed off, though, allowing Lane to bask in the moment.
Daniel Sullivan, who took the
urection-play award for Proof,
feigned disbelief at the honor:
"There must be some mistake," he
said. "I had nothing to do with The
Producers."
Sullivan's leading lady. Mary- Louise Parker, took home the best actress-play award.
Other winners included 42nd Street, for best musical revival; its star, Christine Ebersole, got the top female musical prize.
The play revival award went to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Richard Easton, who plays poet A.E. Housman in The Invention of Love, took the top actor-play prize, while Robert Sean Leonard, who plays a younger incarnation of the same character, won in the featured category.
Viola Davis, the fiery wife in King Hedley II, received the featured actress award.
Special awards included a regional theater prize to Victory Gardens Theater of Chicago and a lifetime achievement award to Paul Gemignani, veteran director of several Stephen Sondheim musicals.
Slick criminal squeezes through divider window, steals police car
The Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. — A suspected car thief cuffed in the back seat of a Wichita police car apparently squeezed through a divider separating him from the front seat and stole the police cruiser.
The suspect led police Monday on back-to-back car chases through east Wichita, at one point driving through front yards and even killing a deer that darted into his path, police said.
Authorities eventually set spikes across a road to blow out the patrol car's tires and took the man into custody.
"He was handcuffed behind his back, but he somehow worked his hands around to the front of his body," police spokeswoman Janet Johnson said. "And I don't know how he fit through that opening. It must have been a tight fit."
The first chase started when a patrol car began pursuing a car
that had been reported stolen. It was during that chase that he killed a deer that darted into his path, police said.
The driver eventually lost control of his car. Officers hand-cuffed him and put him in the back seat of the patrol car.
While the officer was outside the car talking to a supervisor, the slimly-built man apparently found a way to get his hands to his front.
He then wrigled through a 12by-12 inch window in the Plexiglas divider separating the front and back seats.
"I don't know that we've ever had someone even try to get through there." Johnson said.
Bush twins cited for drinking
The man again led police through east Wichita neighborhoods. When he drove onto a dead end street, he passed pursuing officers by driving on front lawns. Johnson said.
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — A restaurant staff did not follow normal procedure when a 911 call was placed after President Bush's 19-year-old twin daughters were suspected of violating underage drinking laws, the owners say.
The May 29 call led to misdemeanor citations against Jenna and Barbara Bush on accusations they violated toughened underage drinking laws their father signed in 1997 when he was governor.
"Usually we would not have handled this in the way it was handled," Mike Young, coowner of the Chuy's Mexican restaurants in Austin, told the Austin American-Statesman in Tuesday's online edition.
Young said he understood why the incident happened the way it did.
Young said the owners have received tons of calls and e-mails about the incident.
"There's always some complaints — it does not matter what you do." But he said many supported how it was handled.
In a form letter dated June 1 sent to those who sent in e-mail, Young and co-owner John Zapp said. "We realize that many of you are upset with the recent occurrence at our Barton Springs location, and we want you to know that we are too."
Capt. David Ball of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agreed that restaurant staffers usually do not call police to report a suspected alcohol violation by a minor—and rarely use 911.
"That is the decision they have to make," Ball said. "For your normal misrepresentation of age, it would be very unusual."
Police cited Barbara Bush on a charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol, and Jenna for allegedly attempting to buy alcohol with a false identification. A 20-year-old friend of the girls also was cited on the possession charge.
Just two weeks earlier, Jenna Bush pleaded no contest to charges of underage drinking. She was ordered to go to alcohol counseling and perform community service.
Ratings are in as the reruns begin
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A fresh edition of CBS' "60 Minutes" was the No.1 program last week as the summer rerun dolrums set in and television viewership began to shrink.
The news magazine, which included a profile of evangelist Billy Graham's daughter, Anne Graham Lotz, scored its first top finish in 22 months, according to ratings released yesterday.
More viewers tuned into "60 Minutes" than the NBA Eastern Conference playoff final between Philadelphia and the Milwaukee Bucks when the broadcasts overlapped. The 76ers advanced to meet the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals.
A total of 14.9 million viewers watched "60 Minutes." The basketball game on NBC was the sixth-ranked program with 13.5 million viewers.
CBS had the top-rated comedy and drama with "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," which tied for fourth place. It was the most-watched network during May 28-June 3, Nielsen Media Research said.
"Who Wants to be a Millionaire's" Sunday and Tuesday editions on ABC tied for second place among all prime-time network shows.
Ratings for the 55th Annual Tony Awards failed to reflect Broadway's excitement over the hit musical The Producers, which won a record 12 tro
phies.
Sunday's ceremony on CBS drew 8.9 million viewers
Overall, CBS drew 9.7 million viewers followed by NBC with 8.9million.
ABC had 7.2 million viewers.
Fox had 5.9 million viewers.
UPN drew 3.3 million views
while WB had 3.1 million.
In the evening news contest,
"NBC Nightly News" edged into first place with 8.8 million viewers (6.6 rating, 15 share),
followed by ABC's "World News Tonight" with 8.5 million viewers (6.5 rating, 15 share). The "CBS Evening News" had 8 million viewers (6.0 rating, 13 share).
Pax TV had 1.5 million viewers.
A ratings point represents
1,022,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 102.2 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week of May 28 to June 3, the top shows, their networks and ratings: "60 Minutes," CBS, 10.5; tie: "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" (Sunday), ABC, and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" (Tuesday), ABC, both 10.1; tie: "CSL Crime Scene Investigation." CBS, and "Everybody Loves Raymond," CBS, both 9.5; NBA playoff game (sunday, Milwaukee at Philadelphia), NBC, 8.7; "Touched by an Angel," CBS, 8.3; tie: "48 Hours," CBS, and "Becker," CBS, both 8.1; "Funny Flubs and Screws Ups," CBS, 8.0.

Paying for college is about to get less expensive for students and families saddled by education loans.
Loan costs to shrink
The Associated Press
Starting July 1, the interest rate on federally backed student loans will be reset to what's believed to be the lowest level since the student loan program began in the 1960s.
Sunny with a high of 81. Thursday night will be clear with a low of 58.
THURSDAY
Interest on student loans will drop to 5.99 percent,
down from the current 8.19 percent, the U.S. Education
Department said Monday. Students start paying off the loans six months after leaving school and typically have 10 years to do it.

The federal government estimates the new rate will save the student borrower with a standard 10-year repayment plan about $136 for every $1,000 they owe.
Federal student loans are given on a variable rate that's reset every July 1. The new rates reflect long-term interest rates the U.S. Treasury set after last week's auction of Treasury bills.

Students who borrow to earn a four-year degree will graduate owing $16,000 on average, said Mark Kantrowitz, an expert on student finance and publisher of a Web site on the topic, FinAid.com.
The new rates apply to loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 1998. A borrower could also benefit from the lower rates by consolidating loans taken before then.

Close to 8,000 colleges, universities and training schools are eligible to participate in the federal loan program. This year alone, 5.3 million students and parents took out federal education loans averaging $3,838 each, education officials said.

We have a lot of old stuff new ideas'
Power plant employees gather near the loading dock at the end of the work day. Recently, they have been busy preparing one of the five boilers for inspection, as well as installing upgrades that will make the boiler more efficient and less dangerous.
Mike Burke, supervisor of the KU power plant, says that the production and distribution of energy poses a diametrical problem to the United States and many other nations. Burke says energy is not just a national problem. It begins locally on campus. The KU power plant, which is southeast of Wescoe Hall, is slowly upgrading its facility to become more efficient in energy production, less wasteful and less hazardous to human health.
POWER PLANT
10
On the outside, the power plant's rigid masonry is reminiscent of the early 20th century industrial era. However, inside, the plant works like a healthy, although aging, machine, that serves the entire campus with heat, steam and water.
PACIFIC RAILWAY CO., LTD.
Power plant employee Rick Reeves installs a direct chemical feed line to one of the five boilers as Dennis Flatts takes a break after delivering the needed supplies. The new line transports chemicals from a large barrel on the bottom level of the power plant to the boiler on the second level. The chemicals were once delivered by hand to the boiler, which Supervisor Mike Burke said was dangerous and inefficient.
Power plant Supervisor Mike Burke is everything except inexperienced when it comes to producing energy. Burke spent 25 years in the U.S. Navy where he worked in steam propulsion before coming to KU three years ago. While in the Navy, he worked on ships that traveled to Vietnam, Pakistan, Australia and South America. "The only large body of water haven't been in the Black Sea," said Burke.

KU Facilities Operation Employee Rick Reeves walks down a tunnel that stretches from the bottom level of the power plant to a nearby storage barn . The tunnels, which stretch for an estimated eight miles underground, allow the power plant to deliver heat and water to all parts of campus.

Health center to cost more for students who pay less
Watkins to charge full price on health care if students don't pay their full campus fee
By Brandy Straw Kansan staff writer
Students going to see a doctor at Watkins Memorial Health Center for a summer cold might not get stuck with a needle, but they could get stuck with a bill.
Students who have not paid the full campus fee will be charged the remainder of the $49.50 fee Watkins charges for its services.
"It's a little frustrating," said Mary Forbes, Parsons junior, who is taking three credit hours this summer.
Cindy Derritt, associate university registrar, said students taking more than four Lawrence campus credit hours paid the whole fee, which was included in the required full campus fee of $121.

campus had their student fees pro-rated,
meaning that the full fee for Watkins was
not included. For a student enrolled in
one credit hour, the one-time fee is $40
because the student only paid $9.50 of
Watkins fee. With each additional
credit hour the student is taking, the
one-time fee decreases by $10. Students not
enrolled in summer classes are able to
pay the full fee to use Watkins.
Randall Rock, associate director of health education at Watkins, said the fee could be a potential benefit to students because it was significantly less than the amount a student would pay for a first time visit at other medical offices.
Rock said this fee provided students access to health care without being a financial burden.
An office manager for Mt. Oread Family Practice, 3510 Clinton Parkway Place, said first-time visits were charged based on five levels of care and could range from $35 to $160. Each level was determined by the level of care provided and the amount of past medical history required to make a diagnosis.
Selena Scott, Austin, Texas, senior, said she did not feel that Watkins services were worth $49.50.
ON CAMPUS
"I don't go to Watkins that often," Scott said.
KU graduates are able to pay for Watkins services for up to one year by paying the full fee, which differs in the summer from the fee charged during the fall and spring semesters.
Rock said the fee made up 60 percent of Watkins' budget. It helped pay for the space and staff necessary to provide care and paid for evaluation and treatment of most routine health problems.
Other services not covered by the $49.50 fee include lab work, X-rays or fees for physical therapy and nutrition services. Missy Caywood, staff physical therapist for Watkins, said the estimated physical therapy charges ranged from $20 to $50 per visit, depending on services provided. It was $10 for an initial appointment with the dietitian and $7 for follow-up appointments.
Rock said these services could be billed to a student's insurance company.
Rock also said students should be warned when they check in if they have not paid the fee in full because they would be billed for the remainder of the cost later.

Students gear up for fall at KU
THE ART REALIST
Orientation informs freshmen about campus, its history and life in college
Julia Bridges, Lawrence junior, helps Brianne Colson, incoming Lawrence freshman, and her mother Kathy, pre-order books for the fall semester. New student orientation on Tuesday helped graduating high school students with their transition to college.
By Brandy Straw Kansan staff writer
Amy Cox thought new student orientation would be boring because she already knew enough about college from her older siblings who had shared their college experiences with her.
Instead, Cox, Rochester, Minn., freshman found Saturday's orientation to be helpful and exciting.
Saturday marked the beginning of new student orientation for this summer as 221 new students and 279 parents and guests filled the Kansas Union. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this summer, an average of 500 students and parents will be on campus to learn how the University operates, said Kristin Trendel, interim director for the Office of New Student Orientation.
"KU is a big and scary system if you don't understand how it works," Trendel said.
She said the office would be bringing back two-day orientations this year, which are designed to give students more time to interact with other new students as well as their orientation assistant.
Most of the orientation sessions are geared toward newly admitted freshmen, but there are sessions for transfer and readmitted students as well. The orientation for newly admitted freshmen is designed to teach them how to enroll, how to take advantage of services on campus and how to get involved. It also helps students meet others who share their major.
"I think it alleviates concerns and anxieties that students have about coming to college," Trendel said. "Hopefully it introduces them to university life."
Trendel said most students who attend are focused on enrolling and advising. Enrollment is explained during the student-to-student sessions. These small sessions, led by orientation assistants, create a more relaxed environment for students to ask questions and get to know other students.
The orientation assistants, who Trendel said were the heart and soul of the program, are current students who lead the new students in their student-to-student sessions.
Trina Ramirez, interim assistant director for the office, said this summer's group of orientation assistants were among the most qualified students.
of training to learn about the programs at the University. Trendel said she thought that the assistants added credibility to the program because new students would be more likely to relate to a student than an administrator or staff member.
The assistants go through three weeks
Matt Bertholf, Hutchinson senior said he enjoyed being an orientation assistant.
"I like the ability to help out new incoming students," he said. "It's a way to give back to KU."
Al Harris, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said he thought his orientation assistant when he was a freshman knew everything about campus. His favorite part about being an orientation assistant is being able to give students the tools they need to get through college.
By the end of the day, the new students receive a KU card and e-mail account and have enrolled in courses for fall.
For Cox, receiving the printed copy of her schedule, made college seem more real.
"I am a freshman in college!" she said.

McVeigh's death brings mixed emotions
Oklahoma students recall day of bombing remember victims in midst of execution
By Laurie Sisk Kansan staff writer
John Bloyd is not likely to forget April 19,1995.
Before that date, Bloyd was just another carefree high school student who enjoyed playing baseball and hanging out with his friends. But Bloyd began
to look at life differently after the bombing in the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people.
Bloyd, Edmond, Okla., graduate student, did not have to wait for news of the blast to realize something big had happened. Bloyd was 20 miles from Oklahoma City, in his first period government class at Memorial High School in Edmond, Okla., when he heard and felt the blast that he thought was an earthquake.
He said almost everyone in Edmond has some kind of connection to a victim.
"Two of my buddies left for downtown and skipped the rest of the day of school because one of my buddies' sister worked across the street from the building that blew up $ ^{\mathrm{i}} $ he said.
The maid of honor at his mother's wedding was killed in the blast, he said.
"At the time, baseball was all I thought about, but that day I had other things on my mind," Bloyd said. "The same day the bombing occurred, we had a baseball game, and the other team's assistant coach was not there;
they were looking for his body in the bombing."
Brian Brandes, Norman, Okla., senior, learned of a disturbance in Oklahoma City in his 11 a.m. speech class. He did not know the details until after football practice later that afternoon.
He said he realized he probably knew one of the victims. He spent the previous two summers working at a law firm across the street from the Murrah building Timothy McVeigh was executed

New design adds features, improves reader accessibility
Kvle Ramsev
Kansan managing editor
If you haven't noticed already, something is different about the Kansan. It's been redesigned.
As Emily Hughey, Kansan editor, mentioned in her column last week, the redesign reflects many behind-the-scenes changes at the Kansan. Here's what these changes mean to you:
- Today's Kansan is physically smaller—each page is now an inch narrower. The narrower format is easier to hold and less conspicuous in class.
- At the top of the front page, our nameplate becomes cleaner and less cluttered—giving you better access to
today's weather and a preview of what's inside the paper.
Yes, the weather bird has been fired. We've opted to replace him with a seven-day forecast provided by the KU Atmospheric Sciences Department. You can find this forecast along side the crossword in each issue.
We've included an index at the bottom of the front page, as well as a preview of what's to come in next week's Kansan.
A change in industry trends, technology and costs created the need for this
We've increased the size of story text to enhance readability and have chosen a headline font that is easier to read.

Personnel changes mark start of summer semester
James Carothers, professor of English, began serving as interim associate provost Friday, June 1, in place of Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, who is now the interim dean for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
McCluskey/Fawcett said she was pleased with the change.
"I think he'll serve admirably," McCluskey-Fawcett said. "He's done a wonderful job in every administrative position that he's been in."
Personnel are changing in other offices as well. Jenny Mehmedovic started as assistant to the vice chancellor for Information Services Monday, June 4.
At the end of the calendar year, Marlin Rein, director of Governmental Relations/Budget, will retire.
New KU students to be welcomed by appointees
The Office of New Student Orientation appointed two new interim directors Tuesday. May 29.
Kristin Trendel, the new interim director, took over for Mary Ryan, who left to serve as associate dean at the Edwards Campus
Trendel said one of her goals was to make sure students felt welcome at the orientations.
Trina Ramirez, who took Trendel's former position, is the new interim assistant director. She supervises the orientation assistant staff and helps with the overall orientation program.
"My goals are to provide support to the orientation assistant staff, the new student orientation office and those involved with orientation," Ramirez said. "I will also be a resource to new students and parents who will be joining the KU family."

New Yorker gets 25 to life for the murder of KU grad
David Jamison, convicted in the 1999 stabbing death of KU graduate Amy Watkins, received the maximum prison term of 25 years to life on June 7.
Justice Michael R. Juillet of the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, New York, announced the sentence after he read details of Jamison's criminal past. The court records, which had been sealed until that time, listed at least four other robberies. The file also contained an order of protection requested by Jamison's girlfriend that was issued one month before the murder.
The Watkins family expressed gratitude for the sentence.
Felix Rodriguez, a second man charged in the murder, will stand trial later this month.

Police discontinue search for suspect in carjacking
LOCALNATION&WORLD
By Julie Carter writer@kansan.com
Police officers are no longer searching for the vehicle or suspect in Saturday morning's reported car jacking at Clinton Lake State Park, said Lt. Kathy Tate of the Douglas County Sheriff' s Office.
Tate said that Christopher Redburn, a 20-year-old Lawrence resident, was using a pay phone by the park's entrance at 9:30 a.m. to call a friend and saw a Hispanic male pacing near Redburn's 1990 white Dodge Omni.
When Redburn hung up the phone and returned to his vehicle, the man then approached him, displayed a black automatic handgun, pressed the gun into his hip and forced him into the passenger's seat. Tate said.
According to the police report, the suspect left the park, located at 798 N. 1415 Rd., and drove toward Kansas City, Mo.
The suspect then stopped the car on Interstate
29 and told Redburn to exit the vehicle. Redburn was picked up along the interstate by an unidentified couple who drove him to a Kansas City, Mo., bus station, Tate said.
When he arrived at the station at 1100 a.m., Redburn called the police in Kansas City, Mo., who then attempted to locate the suspect and vehicle.
Because the crime took place in Douglas County, the police told Redburn he must return to Douglas County to file a police report.
No arrests have been made in this case, but Tate said officers were investigating certain aspects of the case.
"We are no longer looking for a Hispanic male suspect or the vehicle," Tate said. Tate would not further comment on the investigation.
Redburn could not be reached for comment.

Terrorist sentenced to life
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A terrorist convicted in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa was sentenced to life in prison without parole Tuesday after a jury couldn't agree on a death sentence.
The jury deliberated for five days over the fate of Mohamed Rashed Daoud Al'Owhali, 24, who had confessed to his role in the Aug. 7, 1998, attack on the embassy at Nairobi, Kenya, that killed 213 people.
One other defendant, Khalfan Khamis Mohamed, also could face the death penalty. His penalty hearing is scheduled to follow Al-Owhail's after a break of several days.
Al'Owhali's life was spared one day after Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh became the first person executed by the federal government since 1963. Under a 1996 federal law, prosecutors can seek the death penalty in terrorist murder cases.
"We the jury do not unanimously find that the
oath sentence is appropriate," the jury decided.
"We understand that the consequence of this is that Al-'Owhail will be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of release."
There was no exact breakdown of the jury vote. None of the jurors was available to discuss their deliberations.
A!O'whali, 24, of Saudi Arabia, rode in the truck used in the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Nairobi before leaping out and hurling stun grenades at guards.
He then ran for his life as the truck exploded. In addition to the 213 people killed, thousands were wounded.
Eleven other people were killed in a simultaneous bombing in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Mohamed, 27, of Tanzania, helped build the bomb used there.
The two other men convicted, Wadih El-Hage, 40, of Arlington, Texas, and Mohamed Sadeek Odeh, 36, of Jordan, face life in prison. when they are sentenced.
Bush courts European allies
The Associated Press
MADRID, Spain — President Bush opened his first European trip on the defensive yesterday as European allies rejected his stand on global warming and opposed his plans for a missile defense system.
The president spoke in a joint press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.
Bush is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time Saturday in Slovenia. He will offer "a strong normal relationship with America."
"Russia is not the enemy of the United States," Bush said, defending his position to abrogate the two nations' Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in order to build a missile defense shield for the United States.
Bush was behind closed doors with Aznar when the European Union served notice from Brussels, Belgium, that U.S. allies rejected Bush's new initiatives on climate change.
Bush said the treaty was flawed, unrealistic and not based on sound science.
Bush meets his critics Thursday at the European Union. "I come to the conference believing that every leader is sincere about his desire to clean the world and so are we," he said. "We have a different approach, but we
They urged Bush to change his mind and back the Kyoto treaty on global warming.
Aznar opened the press conference on a light note, teasing Bush about his Spanish.
The two leaders spoke side by side at the prime minister's official residence.
Bush emphasized the United States' great and enduring interests in Europe.
Confronting passionate European opposition to capital punishment, which he favors, Bush said that a majority of Americans believe it deters crime.
Bush recognizes that many Europeans disagree.
"There is so much more that unites us than divides," he said. "I refuse to let any issue isolate America from Europe."
Pledging to help Spain combat its serious problem with terrorism, Bush returned to the theme that promises to echo throughout his five-day, five-nation trip.
Aznar said that Spain has abolished the death penalty and that he personally is opposed to capital punishment.
He said that the United States and her allies "must not yield, must not waver in the face of terrorist activity."
Bush argued again for exploring a missile defense shield, which many overseas allies fear will trigger a new arms race.
"I realize it is going to require a lot of consultation," he said. "But I am willing to listen."
Motorists may be stopped between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. today and tomorrow in Lawrence by the Kansas Department of Transportation to complete a traffic survey.
Surveys to be given during local two-day traffic stops
The survey began yesterday and is designed to determine roadway needs and long-term planning in Lawrence based on travel patterns, the Department of Transportation said.
Local law enforcement and Kansas Highway Patrol officers will help control traffic.
"We are aware of the difficulties of stopping traffic. Because we are not asking the questions at the time of the stop, the delay will just be quick enough to hand the driver a card and wish them a good day," said KDOT's Ron Kaufman.
KDOT has prepared 100,000 surveys and hopes for a 20 percent return. Motorists who return one will receive a free Kansas highway road map.
Motorists passing through more than one survey point are asked to only complete one card per trip.
Woodberry maintains his innocence in two charges
Steve Woodberry, a former KU basketball player, pleaded not guilty to charges of domestic battery and criminal damage yesterday.
Woodberry, who played from 1990 to 1994, was arrested at 5:15 p.m. Friday, June 1, at a Lawrence car wash.
Sgt. Mike Patrick said Woodberry pushed girlfriend Stephanie Dyer of Olathe into the driver's side door of her Mazda 626, causing two dents that totaled $400 damage, and then choked her.
Dyer did not seek emergency medical treatment.
Woodberry's next court date is June 25.

Institute benefits incoming freshmen
By Mark Hansen Kansan staff writer
Not all freshmen start classes in the fall.
As part of the Freshman Summer Institute, a four-week program in which students take classes and live in Hashinger Hall, 45 students have already begun their college careers.
Tammara Durham, institute director, recruits for the program, for which all incoming freshmen are eligible. The institute, which is in its sixth summer, has two four-week sessions for separate groups of students.
"You learn how to navigate the system without 24,000 people," Durham said.
She said the students often said they felt like upperclassmen when other freshmen started classes in the fall. Durham also said the institute participants' four-year graduation rate was higher than the normal rate.
In addition to their classes, 15 of the students in the institute volunteered to work in the kitchen at the Jubilee Café from six to 8:30 yesterday morning.

The women's resident assistant, Megan Taylor, is a former participant of the institute, Taylor, Dallas sophomore, went through the program last summer. She said she was thrilled with the Jubilee Café volunteer work.
The Freshman Summer Institute allows incoming freshmen to begin their academic careers early, giving them a head start on college social life and a familiarity with campus. Above, Amy Riss, Leawood freshman, discusses the first week of the institute Monday with Jamie Gibson, Wellsville freshman, in Hashinger Hall.
"We had an amazing turnout," she said. "This group is exceptionally eager—they were all in the lobby at 5:30 by choice."
Amanda Boyer, Amarillo, Texas,
freshman, volunteered at the cafe.
"I'm exhausted but it was worth it," she said. "I'm going back on Friday I want to make it a weekly thing."
Taylor said that the summer atmosphere in Hashinger is conducive for the freshmen to get to know each another and excel in class.
Boyer is taking PRE 101, an introductory course to being a college student, and an introductory anthropology course. Each student takes PRE 101 and another introductory course of his or her choice while taking classes for the institute. Boyer said it was helpful having anthropology with just seven students, all of whom live on her floor.
Valdez Russell received a graduate degree from the University in May but chose to return to Daisy Hill to coordinate the Institute before starting a career.
"I really think they have a better adjustment to KU," he said. Russell said that the group went through the Adams Challenge Campus, a low-ropes course that teaches teamwork, over the weekend. He
said he relished the opportunity to help students one at a time.
"I know FSI has helped a lot of people," he said.

Computer lab relocates to the Kansas Union
By Mark Hansen
Kansan staff writer
Early morning typists might need a personal computer until the fall semester.
The Herb Harris Computer Lab has moved from the Computer Services Facility on Sunnyside Road to room 452 of the Kansas Union, which is in the corner adjacent to Alderson Auditorium and Commerce Bank.
Jerree Catlin, associate director of academic computing services, said that the new location will be open 24 hours a day after the completion of renovations to the Kansas Union, which will allow limited access to the fourth floor. She expected the renovations to be completed by the fall semester. Until then, the lab is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
weekends. Budig Lab summer hours have been extended and will be open from 8 a.m. to midnight daily.
"The Union is a more central site. Parking is also easier up there," Catin said. "We are anxious to keep it open as long as we can."
Mohammed Alzayed, Egypt junior, e-mailed his mother across the world from the lab. Alzayed said the lab is an improvement, although he had hoped for bigger monitors.
"The one that used to be by Dole was so small, it was really hard to move around. I also like the lighting here more," he said.
The sunlight that comes in through the trees on Jayhawk Boulevard might be the biggest difference in the new lab. The new lab has the same services as the former Harris lab, including Quark
Lab Change
What happened: The Herb Harris Computer Lab has moved from the Computer Services Facility into room 452 of the Kansas Union.
What it means: The new location will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends.
What's next: Students will have a 24-hour computer lab again when renovations that will allow limited access to the fourth floor are completed.
XPress, a program not available at the Budig Lab, and 30PCs, 12Macs, two printers and a scanner.
Lab monitor Rachel Merz said the move has caused some confusion.
"Lots of people don't know it has moved yet," she said. "As long as we communicate, it will be all right, but KU has a problem with communication."
The former lab will serve a variety of functions, including an
Internet II project led by Michael Grove, assistant director of academic computing. The multimedia project will allow instructors at separate universities to stream voice, data and images through the Internet.
The old lab will also have a data center where students can make appointments to get help performing statistical analysis for projects. The Computer Services
Facility will continue to house staff training.
Catlin said that although incoming freshmen will be using the new lab during the summer to establish e-mail accounts, it will not be reserved for instruction during the school year.
Announcements pertaining to the lab will be posted at ku.edu/acs/news in upcoming weeks.
Some students miss the 24-hour services. Todd Hippensteel, St. Louis junior, said he walked into the Computer Services Facility unaware of the move and a security guard told him to leave.
"It's a hassle not having a late-night lab," he said. "Thad to find a friend with a computer and a printer."

Officers prepare for fall semester
Mills says minority retension will be a top priority
By Mark Hansen Kansan staff writer
In previous summers, Student Senate president Justin Mills worked as a counselor at a space camp. However, this summer, he's preparing for his next frontier.
Mills said he spoke with Chancellor Robert Hemenway about a number of topics, including
Mills' most immediate concern minority recruitment and retention.
Mills said Hemenway's "we'll help-you-if we-can" attitude is positive. Mills also said he wanted to form a task force to address the issue at the University.
Meanwhile, Kyle Browning, student body vice president, spent part of his break reading the University's contract with Coca-Cola.
"I read it to familiarize myself with it—as I serve on a couple of boards that it affects." Browning
said. The part that talks about recycling was especially important to me."
He said the contract was unspecific about the number of recycling bins Coca-Cola would provide and whether Coca-Cola was responsible for replacing stolen or broken bins.
Browning also wants to make campus bulletin boards a more visible communication tool for students. He said he talked with Provost David Shulenburger about the on-c Campus bulletin board policy and found that the office didn't have the mechanism
for enforcing it.
Budget woes hit home to Mills when he saw the less than $6 hourly wage his staff would receive.
Mills' biweekly salary is $243.10 and Browning's is $228.80.
"It's a very tight year." he said of local and regional finances. "The question is, should we fund public universities or K-12 schools? I've been to high schools that need the funds. KU will be all right."

Foreign students stay for summer
Long distances and costs prevent international students from going home
By Dawn North
writer@kansan.com
The high cost of airfare and a desire to complete a degree in a timely manner are two reasons international students spend their summer vacations in Lawrence.
For Stefan Klinke, Hamburg, Germany, graduate student, it isn't that bad.
Joe Potts, director of International Student and Scholar Services, said there were an estimated 650 to 700 international students enrolled this summer, compared with 1,550 to 1,600 international students enrolled in an academic year.
He said he liked Lawrence and he liked Kansas.
Tracie Souter, Wichita graduate student and orientation assistant for International Student and Scholar Services, said that more international families had visited
Klinke said being away from home was not as hard for him as it might have been for others because he had traveled extensively before coming to Kansas.
Since Klinke will not finish his term under the Graduate Direct Exchange Program until August, his parents decided to come to Lawrence. He said he wanted to give them a tour of the campus, take them to Massachusetts Street and drive them to Kansas City. He said they would head for Chicago and visit other U.S. cities after sightseeing in this area.
their faraway students than she expected.
She said a lot of students stay in Lawrence their first summer because of finances, but many go home their second summer.
Lili Chen, Cheng Du, China, senior, said that during her summer classes the ratio of international students to American students seemed much higher than in her fall or spring classes. She observed that most American students went home for the summer.

Even though living away from home can be difficult, both Klinke and Chen hope to continue their education. Klinke is awaiting approval from exchange program officials that would allow him to stay at Kansas after his term ends in August, and Chen is thinking of an internship and graduate school after completing her undergraduate degree.
Summer vacation may not mean going home, but Chen does plan on squeezing a short break into her busy schedule. After finishing classes and working as an international student orientation leader on August 10, she plans on driving to Chicago with a friend.
Chen is taking six credit hours and works 30 hours a week at Oliver Hall. She said that living so far away from home was hard and that she called her mother twice a week. In addition, organized activities for international students pretty much cease during the summer. However, she said she has strong friends who help her during tough times.

Bombing: Students still feel effects of terrorist act

Brandes said Gene Hodges, the father of a childhood friend, was 54 when he died in the blast. It took two to three days to find his body.
"It made me realize how quickly people can die from senseless acts of violence." Branden said.

Timothy McVeigh was executed shortly after 7 a.m. Monday, June 11, for his role in the bombing.
Although Bloyd said he was not sure what his views on capital punishment were before the blast, his immediate reaction after authorities caught McVeigh was certain — McVeigh should be put to death.
In high school, Brandes knew he wanted to go to law school and thought about the issue of capital punishment a lot. But his opinion wavered, he said.
"I do have trouble with killing someone. Life's too important," Brandes said. "But it's the law of the land and I respect that. What McVeigh did was horrendous. If anyone deserves to die by execution, it was definitely him."

Faculty fashions differ from casual to conservative when teaching class
By Karen Lucas Special to the Kansan
When suiting up for the classroom, Robert Rowland and Mark Joslyn couldn't be less alike.
Teachers sport different clothing styles
On a recent Friday morning in Wescoe Hall, Rowland, chairman of the department of communication studies, taught his introductory rhetoric class wearing a blazer, khaki slacks, a sport shirt and oxford shoes. Meanwhile, Joslyn, assistant professor of political science, showed up for class in Blake Hall sporting a casual button-down shirt, khaki shorts and sandals.
As far as the University is concerned, professors can choose how they want to dress. Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost, said she was not aware of any faculty dress code.
Even though Rowland is not required to dress up, as he would be in some other professions, he still is a stickler for conventional dress.
"I'm about as formal as anybody gets on this campus," said Rowland, who also likes to wear sport jackets with dress shirts and ties—especially bow ties. "It just seems professional."
Yet Rowland said that others shouldn't be expected to adopt his conservative attire.
"If everybody dressed that way, my style wouldn't be distinctive," he said.

"I think it's cool," said M a d i l l , Lawrence sophomore. "It kind of gives the atmosphere a more laid-back feeling."

Faculty attire, however, has not always ranged from formalto casual.
Yet Glenn Hudspeth's dressed-down look shows how much things have changed. For Monday's class, the GTA in German showed up in cargo shorts, a plaid shirt and athletic shoes.
"I intend to always dress casually because formality stifles communication and creativity between students and teachers," he said. "One of the reasons I've chosen this career path is so that I don't have to wear a suit and work in a gray cubicle."
Hudspeth does not plan to don more conservative duds when he becomes a professor.

slurpee
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY THAD ALLENDER/KANSAN
Ahhh! The refreshing, and sometimes surprising, taste of slimy syrup slush called "slurpees" are a fixture in all of America's roadside convenience stores.
Brain freeze: an ice cold answer to a hot question
Three thirsty KU students sample Lawrence's frozen treats
Story by Luke Wetzel
Every summer, local Slurpee enthusiasts face an awful truth there are no authentic Slurpees in Lawrence.
Although purists may argue that other products are simply "wannabes" masquerading as the 7-11 treat, the gas stations and stores of Lawrence are awash with frozen desserts. You just have to know where to look. Learning to navigate the confusing web of snow cones, Icees and Slurpee spinoffs inLawrence can be done.
Although the machines in today's gas stations look like neon fuel tanks for rocket ships, the first snow cones were enjoyed as far back as the Roman times. Romans hauled snow from mountain tops to the city, where syrup was added to make the world's first recorded frozen dessert. Wooden planes were used to crush ice in later centuries, and hand-held ice shavers were invented in the late 1800s. Ernest Hanson invented the first motorized ice-block shaver in 1934, which quickly inspired other New Orleans vendors.
The modern frozen dessert was changed forever when Omar Knedlik, owner of a Coffeyville, Kan., Dairy Queen, began putting soda in the freezer to sell to customers. The treat caught on so well that he spent five years building a machine to create frozen carbonated beverages which he dubbed as Icees. By the mid 1960s, there were 300 Icee machines. Today, enough Icees are consumed each year to cover the Hawaiian islands of Kauai and Oahu.
Since the Icee's inception, dozens of similar drinks have been created from its template. In order to sort them out, a team of three tastestesters was assembled. They analyzed frozen desserts based on consistency, flavor and other factors. Multiple gas stations were hit on two separate ventures. New flavors were tried. Brain freezes were acquired. It was 90 degrees and sunny. All in all, it was not a bad day for frozen dessert experimentation.
The first stop was the Raj Food Mart,
1000 W. 23rd St., which sells Chili Willis.
Jon Breeding, Springfield, Mo., junior.
decided the thrill was somehow lacking from the chill.
"It doesn't hold together well," he said, watching the color of the syrup disappear from the ice with each slurp. "The flavor is acceptable but perhaps too saccharine."
Next on Breeding's menu were a French Vanilla Gourmet Ice at Kwik Shop, 1714 W. 23rd St., and an Alpine Blast Orange Dream at the Conoco Break Place, 2447 W. 6th St.
"The ice was the best part." Breeding said. "I'm a vanilla fan in most instances, but this flavor was the bane of all humanity."
The Alpine Blast fared better.
Vivek Kurisunkal, New Delhi, India,
senior, and Erika Ratzlaff, Buhler junior,
began their testing at Tad's Tropical
Sno. 939 Iowa St.
"A quality refreshment," Breeding said. "Flavor is orange but not quite acidic like orange soda — more creamy."
"You can call me an ice connoisseur." Ratzlaff said, "At the state fair, I would ask for just ice. Snow cone ice is the best kind of ice."
"In India we have sticks of flavored ice, but it's nothing like a popsicle," he said. "I didn't understand the concept of snow cones at first. I think there's a lot of svrpun."
Kurisunkal claimed to have sampled no American frozen desserts aside from an isolated snow cone encounter in the Fall of 1999.
Ratzlaff liked her frozen treat. "The consistency of the ice is really nice, but it melts fast," she said of her Sucker Punch. "It's kind of tart; I like it."
Ratzlaff had more fun pouring her cherry Icee at the next stop than she did drinking it.
"The whole ordeal of putting it in there is fun," she said. "I don't think I ever finished one. You get really pumped up when you're about to get one, but then you never get through it. At least I don't."
Breeding said that snow cones could be distracting in some instances.
"Probably too much to handle while driving." he said.
Benji King, Overland Park senior and
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
With flavor quality determined, brain freeze testing was initiated. Kurisunkal slurped for eleven seconds before pulling away, nearly eclipsing Breedig's twelve seconds set earlier that afternoon. Ratzlaff slurped for four.
"I got a little bit of a headache, but I don't think I got the full glory," she said. "Stay away from Polar Joe."
"When I got them, the little bear was part of the attraction," King said. "The novelty aspect of it isn't the same when you're older."
Kwik Shop employee, said Icees were one of the most popular things he sold.
"It pinches your brain," he said, wincing. "My jaw hurts, my head hurts. It's like a bad hangover. It suckes."
Kurisunkai stood by the side of the building with his head in his hands, trying to shake the lingering pain.
PHOTO BY BRAD DRIER/KANSAN
Kurisunkal was less partial to his Ice.
"I liked the other one much better," Kurisunkal said. "This didn't have too many flavors. Secondly, I thought it was very runny and more liquid."
After discovering Juice Stop was closed, Ratzlaff proposed making her own smoothies. A blended banana, cup of milk and 16 ounces of yogurt later, the deed was done.
"It's not gourmet, and I don't think I'd pick up guys if I was drinking it," Ratzlaff said. "It's like strawberry-flavored dentists' toothpaste."
"They're super healthy, a lot cheaper, and it's convenient because it's right at home," she said. "If you didn't wash the dishes, make smoothies and your house likes you again."
Things went downhill later for the testers. They thought Polar Joe's claim to be the "smoothest, coolest frozen gourmet drink ever" turned out to be a false promise at the Jayhawk Food Mart, 1414 W.6th St.
Vivek Kurisunkal, New Delhi, India, senior, receives a snowcone from an employee at Tad's Tropical Sno, 939 Iowa St., Tuesday after class.
Breeding agreed with her fellow tester. "Smoothies are head and shoulders above the rest of the field," he said. "It's like a meal."
Ratzlaff encouraged trying different kinds of fruit with homemade smoothies. She said the trips to get gas station refreshments also had a redeeming quality.
Wetzel can be reached at 864-4810 or writer@kansan.com
"I think an occasional visit to get a Slurpee or Icee retains your innocence because it's such a fun and wholesome thing to do," she said.

HOROSCOPES
This week's birthday.
New employment or career options may compete for your attention over the next 4 to 5 months. Some Geminis, especially those born between 1974 and 1978, may also quickly begin a passionate love affair or enter into a marriage before the end of November. If so, expect travel, relocation and highly emotional family demands to also be a continuing theme.
Aries (March 21-April 20)
Social relationships will demand diplomacy before midweek. Watch for friends or co-workers to be strongly concerned with their social identity and public reputation.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Revised duties and new work ventures will now rely heavily on past accomplishments or outdated information. Over the next few days, expect key officials to be focused on written documents, records or yesterday's performance.
Intuitive knowledge and peaceful reflection are accented early this week. After a fairly lengthy period of romantic doubt, emotional security now steadily returns to key relationships.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Early this week new romantic overtures will be difficult to resist. Watch for unexpected invitations or unique social gestures from friends, colleagues and potential lovers.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Romantic interest and social invitations will now expand.Early this week expect loved ones to suggest new activities, hobbies or group entertainment. All looks positive.
Older officials, teachers or mentors may now offer valuable clues concerning hidden politics; before mid-week watch for subtle pressures and small reminders. Play the diplomat.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Creativity and social enjoyment are on the rise. After a recent wave of romantic doubt and family pressure, optimism now returns. Late Tuesday expect quick introductions, new friendships or unexpected invitations from co-workers.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Family relations and home decisions may soon require extra attention. Over the next few days, watch for relatives or roommates to expect added dedication, emotional involvement or financial support.
Business announcements and financial information may be unnerving early this week; before Wednesday many Sagittarians may be disappointed with present work rewards or challenged to find new income sources.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)
This week friends and lovers may be strongly focused on public reputation, new social information or group opinion. Watch for a steady increase in gossip or romantic speculation over the next few days. Some Capricorns may also experience a quick expansion of communications projects.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)
Business relationships will be surprisingly candid this week; over the next few days expect both authority figures and business partners to reveal unusual ideas, opinions or information.
蟹
Pisces (Feb.20-March 20)
Past financial restrictions and business errors will now fade; early Tuesday expect work officials and colleagues to significantly change their approach to team goals, group projects or long-term priorities.

Psycho voted No.1 thriller by American Film Institute
The Associated Press
The rest of the top 10 were: No. 5, "The Silence of the Lambs"; No. 6, "Alien"; No. 8, "The French Connection"; and No. 9, "Rosemarv's Baby."
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The mother of all slasher films, "Psycho," topped the American Film Institute list of 100 most thrilling movies, with "jaws" and "The Exorcist" coming in second and third.
The rankings were announced in a special aired Tuesday night on CBS. The institute began issuing an annual list on different movie themes three years ago, with a roster of the top 100 American films.
"Psycho" director Alfred Hitchcock and "Jaws" director Steven Spielberg combined for 15 films on the list released Tuesday.
Hitchcock placed two movies on the list, with two others in the top 10—"North by Northwest" at No.4 and "The Birds" at No.7. Spielberg had six films, including "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at No.10.
The latest list was chosen by about 1,800 directors, actors, studio executives, critics and others in Hollywood, who voted from a field of 400 nominated movies.
Considering that 16 Hitchcock films were nominated, there was little doubt he would fare well. And it's small surprise that "Psycho" led the way, considering that even co-star Janet Leigh was so affected by her death scene in the shower that she only takes baths to this day.
"Psycho' scared the hell out of me when I saw it finished. Making it and seeing it are two different things," Leigh said. "That staccato
music and the knife flashing. You'd swear it's going into the body. I still don't take showers, and that's the truth."
The 1960 Hitchcock classic starred Anthony Perkins as mild-mannered Norman Bates, a nutcase who donned his dead mother's clothes to kill Leigh's character, a guest at the Bates Motel.
Linda Blair, who scored an Oscar nomination as the demonically possessed girl in "The Exorcist," said she still hears from fans who were so terrified by the movie that they recall exactly when, where and with whom they saw it.
"If you do one project in your lifetime that people remember like that, that's a terrific thing to have been a part of," Blair said.
While the list was heavy on horror, mystery and murder, it also included suspenseful dramas. "The Godfather" ranked 11th, "The Great Escape" was 19th, "Lawrence of Arabia" was 23rd and "Casablanca" was 37th.
The list featured Westerns such as "High Noon" (No. 20) and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (No. 54), the boxing flick "Rocky" (No. 52) and even "The Wizard of Oz" (No. 43).
"It cuts across drama and disaster and epic and horror and music and noir and sci-fi and sports and Westerns," said Jean Picker Firstenburg, the institute's director. "Each of these genres can affect you with the same emotional response, which is that your heart races."

Congress threatens to institute ratings for hip-hop industry
NEW YORK — Members of Congress urged the hip-hop industry yesterday to better regulate the content of its records before Washington beats them to it.
The Recording Industry Association of America voluntarily puts parental advisory stickers on CDs that it deems inappropriate for children. But Rep. Earl Hillard (D-Alabama) said that was not enough and suggested a ratings system similar to the movie industry's.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Connecticut), recently introduced legislation that would give the Federal Trade Commission the authority under its false and deceptive advertising laws to act against entertainment companies that market "unsuitable" material to children.
"Washington can regulate you out of business if you do not have your act together," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, (D-Mississippi).
Among those present for the first day of the summit — aimed at addressing hip-hop issues, including artist's responsibility — was Luther "Luke" Campbell, whose raunchy lyrics during his 2 Live Crew days challenged free speech laws.
Campbell said he was disappointed by Lieberman's criticism of rap.
"We've got somebody, Lieberman, that we supported seriously in the election, as black people, and he's the one that's mainly attacking us. To me, that's really a slap in the face," Campbell said.
A representative for the former vice presidential candidate declined to comment.
Bob Barker signs new deal to continue as show's host
LOS ANGELES — Bob Barker has agreed to stay on as host of The Price is Right through 2006, the durable game show's 34th season on CBS.
Barker, 77, signed a new five-year contract with the daytime program for which he's won 14 Emmy Awards. He said he was "humbled" by the network's confidence in him over the years.
The show, which started in 1957 on NBC, is among the highest-rated on daytime TV. Barker's new contract was announced Thursday during taping of the new season's premiere episode. The terms of his contract were not disclosed.
Joining Nikki Ziering will be two new assistants, Claudia Jordan and Heather Kozar, the 1999 Playboy playmate of the year.
Grammys add new category in rap for 101 total awards

The Grammys will now dole out 101 awards.
In addition, the Grammy have added the mastering engineer as a Grammy recipient in the album of the year category. Previously, only the artist and producer received the award for album of the year.

For Cade Remsburg, manager of the Jimmy John's Gourmet Sub Shop, 1447 W 23rd St., summer business is ideal. But only for the first two weeks.
By Luke Wetzel
writer@kansan.com
"For two weeks it's fabulous," he said. "You're happy. The store is clean. After two weeks you're like, man. I could use some excitement."
Jimmy John's hours change in the summer from being open until 2 a.m. to only being open until 11 p.m.
Remsburg said the store takes different measures to increase business, which is basically cut in half from the school year.
"We try and advertise in the Journal-World to try and get more non-students in," he said. "We also try and concentrate on the day side. You'd think summer school would help, but it doesn't."
Corey Snyder, University of Kansas graduate and clerk at Cork & Barrel Wine and Spirits, 2000 W. 23rd St., said the store keeps the same schedule and stocks the same amount of product despite the dramatic reduction of students in town.
"It's definitely slower." Snyder said. "We still have a steady crowd of regular customers, but it's not as busy for as long. Weekends are still steady. We really notice the difference between 10 and 11, which is normally our busiest time of the night."
Though bars like the Hawk and Bullwinkles depend on students' business and shut down in the summer, Brad Durkin, owner of The Crossing 618 W.12th St., keeps his bar open.
"We still have a pretty solid college crowd, but it slows down," Durkin said. He said the bar isn't as busy during the day, so he relies on the nights for profits.
"Our sales don't drop that much, but there's a huge decline in private parties." Durkin said.
Both Durkin and Remsburg called their businesses laid back in the summer months.
"There are a lot more familiar faces," Durkin said. "Everybody's out to have a good time. It's the way pretty much all bars are in Lawrence."
Employees at businesses say they aren't immune to the laid back summer vibe.
"It's tough when the evenings are nice and you want to get off, but it's alright," Snyder said.

Cheese matures with new album
By Rob Pazell writer@kansan.com
THE
STRING CHEESE INCIDENT
OUTSIDE INSIDE
Success in the music industry cannot be measured just by money or radio play. It is also important for a band to explore its medium and decide when it is a good time to move on.
Enter The String Cheese Incident, a fivepiece band from Colorado that built its success on wacky lyrics and hot bluegrass. Their maturity has elevated leading to their latest studio offering, "Outside Inside." They have gone from lyrics about hallucinogenic mushrooms and "Johnny Cash not smokin' that hash" to lyrical soul searching. Musically, The Cheese has moved away from bluegrass and toward heavier funk jams.
The title track opens the disc with upbeat drums and funk. It eventually transitions into a psychedelic rock jam. Next comes "Joyful Sound," the only offering from bassist Keith Moseley. This tune takes poetic lyrics and creates a rock anthem.
"Search" is the album's only half cover. The music is supplied by Ernest Randrianosolo and the lyrics come from guitarist Billy Nershi. Its island groove makes you want to drink a daiquiri on the beach.
The band slows things down with Nershi's instrumental, "Drifting." The slow mellow beat gives an easy-listening vibe.
They pick up the funk again with the next two tracks. "Black and White" and "Lost." These include horns that tread even newer, funkier ground.
The disc then moves to old school String Cheese Incident. It starts with "Latinissmo", which uses the salsa beats characteristic of
the band. "Sing a New Song", another Nershi tune, has an angrier feel but stays with the soul-searching theme. Strong slide guitar dominates this tune.
Closing out the disc is "Up the Canyon." This is The Cheese's only dedication to their roots, with a bluegrass zvdeco style.
*Rollover* "comes in at number 10. It is by far the best offering on the album. The upbeat island-style track with a reggae chorus will thoroughly please die-hard Cheeseheads. It goes through a myriad of jams including rock, jazz and techno styles. *Rollover*" is their most representative offering to date.
String Cheese Incident fans will probably agree that this album conquers new territory for the band. It leaves behind many of the sounds that made it famous and adopts a funkier theme. Unfortunately, many bluegrass fans, like me, who fell in love with the Cheese's innovative "pickin" might be disappointed with the lack of the mountain music. Nevertheless, it shows a strong third-studio album from a band famous for its live performances.

MOVIE
Moulin Rouge fails to keep eyes open
By Matt Zaller
writer@kansan.com
When a director morphs a musical into a film, interesting things happen. Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge is an entourage of color and theatrical excitement that numbs the senses. Set in Paris in 1899, it features the Montmartre district, which thrives with artists. Ewan MacGregor plays Christian, a writer who moves to Paris to discover love. Unfortunately for him, he finds it with Satine, played by actress Nicole Kidman, a dancer at the Moulin Rouge. After Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a non-fictional artist from the early 1900s, falls from the ceiling into Christian's lap, the Bohemian adventure begins. The ensuing action revolves around romance and the search for investment to keep the
Moulin Rouge afloat. While the Moulin Rouge ends in shambles, so does the film.
Nevertheless, the film provides a glimpse into the Bohemian lifestyle of Montmartre, a place frequented by artists such as Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Bonnard, Renoir, Manet, Cezanne and later Picasso, who lived right off the Boulevard de Clichy. The Montmartre district is and was Paris' red light district. Full of absinthe, brothels, dancing and painting, the film catches the vibrant colors of the artists' canvases and turns them into a different medium: film.
The film's cinematography is excellent. Cinematographer Donald McAlpine portrays scenes of Paris that singlehandedly merit viewing the film. Some shots are a grainy, filtered black and white, while others inside the Moulin
Rouge are blinding. The film blends the original Montmartre with its modern counterpart through camera work, costumes, theatrical adaptations and digital manipulations.
However, Moulin Rouge fails as a musical. Character and general plot suffer from cheesy lines and displaced actors. For example, Kidman cannot sing, and MacGregor should stick to roles such as Jedi master or a Glasgow heroin addict.
On the other hand, John Leguizamo is stellar as the real-life character of Toulouse-Lautrete, who is famous for his oil paintings and poster designs for the Moulin Rouge, Le Chat Noir and other publications of the time.
The original music, crafted by Craig Armstrong, lacks a decent melodic foundation. Worst of all,
the other half of the music is pirated from modern pop. The work of Madonna, Sting and Michael Jackson, among others, is incorporated into the original music of the film. The songs characteristically start like the original and merge into different songs. For example, Patti LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" mysteriously changes into Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit."
If you want to see the Moulin Rouge, go to Paris not the movie theater. Once you get to Paris, tickets to the Moulin Rouge cost around 350 Francs or $50. If you are a Toulouse-Lautrec fan or a future cinematographer, you may like this one. Otherwise, Moulin Rouge is simply confusing.

The moon passes through a series of eight phases that repeat themselves every 29.5 days, according to NASA. These phases can be seen vividly through the lens of a telescope and researchers can document every corner of the moon.
A
Torry Crass knows his way around the sky. Driven by a life-long interest in the stars and planets, the Phelps, Wis., sophomore spends nearly every night looking at the sky through a telescope or maintaining his astronomy-based Web site, www.ukans.edu/~aal. Crass is also the president of the Astronomy Club, which meets at 7:30 p.m. on the second Sunday of every month in 412 Lindley Hall.
The Clyde W. Tombaugh Observatory, located on the roof of Lindley Hall, has helped to unlock some of the great mysteries of our solar system. While doing research for his Master's thesis in the 1930s, Dr. Tombaugh discovered Pluto using a fork-mounted Newtonian reflector scope, with a measurement of 27-inch in diameter. Today, the scope still rests in the same location. Through the years, the observatory has collected an impressive artillery of telescopes: a 6-inch refractor that was built in 1885 by the renowned telescope maker Alvan Clark; a Daus-Preston 14 inch, fork-mounted reflector; and a variety of 8-inch telescopes, three of which are computer driven. The observatory presently is seeking to upgrade the facility in hopes of making further contributions to astronomy. The observatory is free and open to the public every second and fourth Sunday of the month and begins observation at sundown.

HAWK Link nests new with the old
Student program to make significant strides in second year
By Dawn North
Kansan staff writer
The second official year for HAWK Link is off and running, and coordinators of the program are excited. The program, sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, is a University-wide effort to increase the retention rate of freshman students of color.
Included under the students-ofcolor umbrella are African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans and Native Americans. However, anyone who would like to be a part of the program is welcome, said Robert Page, OMA director.
"Results thus far have been impressive," said Season Titus, HAWK Link Student Coordinator. Last year 85 students were involved in the program, and this year 84 percent of those freshmen are returning. That number exceeds the total University retention rate of 80 percent and the average retention rate for students of color, which is 68 percent.
So far this year, about 110 students have signed up for the program, but program coordinators are hoping for 200 by the end of the summer.
The University's retention committee has been so impressed with the program that it is considering using it as a model to develop a University retention plan. Titus said.
MARK HANSEN/KANSAN
The program is designed to help students academically by connecting them with tutors, faculty mentors, financial aid advice and academic advising, Titus said. But, she added, the social aspect is also important. She said making friends is another important factor in students' decision whether to return to college.
"The whole essence of how HAWK Link works is having that one primary contact that will help you navigate the system," she said.
Renee Gregory, OMA program assistant and HAWK Link coordinator, said the personal connection made a big difference.
Five guides add new dimension to the program. The student guides have been assigned to 20 incoming freshmen who have expressed interest in the program. Guides will keep in contact through e-mail, attend orientation sessions, answer questions and provide mentoring to the new students.
One of the program's unique facets is that it utilizes existing programs at the University instead of creating new services like other colleges.
She said students could call the HAWK Link office and ask for tutoring or other help and someone in the office could tell them who to call or walk them to the office personally.
Jamie Jones, St. Louis junior who is a guide, met Phil Conway, one of her group members, yesterday at orientation. Conway, who is from Kansas City, Mo., said he hoped HAWK Link would help him find a niche. Jones said that she wanted to help him find whatever he needed to get information and to be involved.
Anissa Vitale is a guide for the program because she sees a lack of minorities on campus. The Shawnee senior said she had a yearning drive to improve their numbers.
Page said that coming to a university can be intimidating. He said it was a tremendous help to have someone saying, "You're going to be OK."

The Hall Family Foundation anteced a record-breaking $42 million pledge for the next five years, marking the largest higher education donation in Kansas history. With the donation, the University of Kansas aims to be included in the top 25 public universities in the country, specifically in the area of life sciences.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Forrest Hoglund, president of the KU Endowment Association, and Donald Hall, chairman of the foundation, made the donation at 2 p.m. yesterday during a ceremony at the University of Kansas Medical Center School of Nursing atrium. A crowd filled the atrium and balconies of four floors. The program also was web cast on the KU Endowment Web site.
The pledge will become part of the University's third major fund-raising campaign since 1891, which will be announced formally in the fall.
Diane Silver, news editor for the endowment association, said the pledge
surpassed the previous record donation — $15 million from the Kansas Health Foundation in 1995.
The pledge is also the largest cash donation in the foundation's history and
will be distributed among the life sciences and humanities departments, the

Nicholson film to feature KU
Footage of passers-by downtown Lawrence might be in movie
By Laurie Sisk Kansan staff writer
For some KU students, a routine stroll through campus last Friday may result in an appearance in a major motion picture to be released this spring.
Although no extras from the University were hired for parts in the movie, director and co-writer Alexander Payne said shots were filmed of passers-by, and some of those shots might be included in the movie, which also features Kathy
New Line Cinema brought a film crew of about 12 people to the University of Kansas to shoot location shots for Jack Nicholson's new movie. About Schmidt.
Although the majority of the film was shot in Omahda, Neb., KU scenes will be used to establish shots as the lead character, KU alumnus Warren Schmidt, who is played by Nicholson, returns to his alma mater.
Bates, Dermot Mulroney, Howard Hesseman and Hope Davis.
Jim Glennon, director of photography, said the University support staff was very cooperative. He complimented Facilities Operations for speedy reactions to last minute requests.
Production began in early March in Payne's hometown of Omaha, where both of his previous movies, Election and Citizen Ruth, were filmed. Most of the principal filming in Omaha wrapped up in early May. Glennon said the picture was on schedule.
Frank Barthell of KU Media Relations said many people on the film crew were struck by the beauty
of KU's campus.
"These are people that by and large are not Midwesterners, so to get them here and have them say, 'Hey, we've got a nice campus and friendly people' is important," Barthell said.
Many of the scenes were shot in front of Dyche and Strong halls. Water trucks sprayed Jayhawk Boulevard and adjoining sidewalks to give the impression of a recent rain. Scenes were also shot in downtown Lawrence.
About Schmidt centers on Schmidt, a recent widower in his 60s, who struggles with his daughter's (Hope Davis) recent engagement to a man (Dermot Mulroney) he doesn't approve of. Kathy Bates stars as the would-be mother-in-law.

Family wants more testing of evidence
By Rob Pazell Kansan staff writer
The U.S. government is taking a new role in the homicide investigation of Shannon Martin, a 23-year-old KU biology student who was murdered last month in Costa Rica.
Sen. Sam Brownback, (R-Kan.), met yesterday afternoon with Jaime Daremblum, Costa Rican ambassador to the United States, to discuss the possibility of having evidence sent to the United States for DNA testing, said Erik Hotmire, a representative for Brownback.
Hotmire declined to comment on the results of the discussion.
Martin was slain while walking to her host family's house May 12 in Golfito. She had returned to Costa Rica with two grants to collect plant samples for additional testing after studying there. Investigators found hair in her grip when they discovered her body May 13. The FBI and the Organization for Judicial Investigation (OIJ), Costa Rica's equivalent of the FBI, refused to cover the expenses of shipping the DNA and hair samples.
INSIDETODAY
Staci Martin, Shannon's sister, wrote a letter to the U.S. government outlining the details of the case and urging it to pay for the shipment of the DNA evidence. She has asked others to appeal to their senators as well.
Jeanette Stauffer, the Martins' mother, has worked extensively with Brownback and with Lineth Saborio. director of the OII.
Sheri Martin, Shannon's other sister, said the letter was necessary to bring attention to the case. Although the investigation revealed nine suspects at the beginning, the suspects were released because the OIJ said there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute them.
"It appears that the DNA is the key evidence to detain the suspects." Sheri Martin said. "Staci was trying to get people aware of it."
Sheri Martin said she thought the hair samples wouldn't be tested unless brought to the United States.

Students' outlook bright after receiving national grants
The students are Soren Larsen, Lexington Ill., geography; Max Maximov, Germany, German literature; Ratna Radhakrishna, Lawrence, geography; and Mark Munzinger, Lawrence, history.
Four more KU graduate students have received Fulbright grants, bringing the total to six for the year.
Anne Mendyth-Wolf, project coordinator of international programs, said the students applied through the University, were accepted at the national level and then were accepted by the country in which they chose to research. She said these four grants were announced later than the first two because each country had its own timetable.
"I think you're always surprised because you don't want to expect it," he said. "There's no way I could have done nine months without this grant."
A Fulbright grant covers round trip travel, health insurance, tuition and living expenses for the academic year.
Seven students received Fulbright awards last year. Since the program started in 1947, 363 KU students have received Fulbrights.
Larsen will use his grant to spend nine months in Takysie Lake, Canada, researching how cultural history has constructed a sense of place in the Lakes District of British Columbia. He plans to return to the University for the 2002-03 school year to finish his project.

Group warns of scams
By Brandy Straw Kansan staff writer
The Better Business Bureau is warning students and their families to be careful when using a company to help them find scholarships.
The Bureau has received reports from families in northeastern Kansas who have been contacted by a New York financial aid and scholarship organization that offers to find scholarships for a fee. The bureau said the company was known to scam people out of money.
Joyce Woodard, bureau representative, said these scams occur frequently because families and students often need financial aid.
Woodard said students should be wary of companies guaranteeing a scholarship or "your moneyback" and companies that ask for a credit card or bank account number for either an application fee or to put a hold on scholarships. Companies stating that you are a finalist or have been awarded a scholarship or grant that you never applied for and companies that claim to do all the work for you might also be scams.
Woodard said some companies exhibit only one warning sign, while others show them all.
Sean Anderson. Lenexa freshman, said he had been contacted by companies like this before but had never used their services.
"It's pretty low to target students like that," Anderson said.
Brenda Maigard, interim director for the office of student financial aid, said students and families could make an appointment to help finding scholarships.
What happened: The Better Business Bureau is warning students of a New York financial aid and scholarship organization that offers to find scholarships for a fee. The company is known to scam people out of money.

What it means: Students and their families should be careful when one of these companies contacts them.

What you can do: If contacted by this company or one like it, call the Better Business Bureau at 766-2009.
"It's frustrating when students or families spend large amounts of money when we can provide financial aid counseling for free," Maigard said.
The number of confetti-filled egg shells prepared for the gala has increased to nearly 400 dozen this year. The eggs, which were what Langford used to break on her brothers' heads, sell for 50 cents.
Maigaard said the appointments would cover any financial aid topic, including how to do scholarship searches on the Internet, how to get federal aid or how to take advantage of the KU Endowment Association program.
She said one legitimate scholarship company, the Scholarship Resource Network, can be reached at www.srnexpress.com.
Maigard encourages students who need help to look at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators Web site, www.nasfaa.org/Home.asp.

For Jacinta Langford, Lawrence junior, cracking eggs on her brothers' heads is a favorite memory of past summer nights spent at St. John's Fiesta Mexicana.
Kansan staff writer
St. John the Evangelist, 1229 Vermont St., will hold its 20th annual Fiesta Mexicana fundraiser from 6 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday on the church premises at 1234 Kentucky St. The event promises authentic Mexican food, mariachi bands, dancing and festive games.
is the Fiesta committee chairman this year, and mother, Irene, with work behind the scenes.
This year Langford designed the Fiesta flyer, which in the past had been done by Lisa Bland, a devoted St. John's member, who was killed in a September 16th automobile accident. The 2001 celebration has been dedicated to her memory, and her husband, Jim, designed a commemorative medal in her honor to raise money for a college scholarship fund. Each medal will sell for $5.
The very first fiesta in 1981 was a small fundraiser created to offset a loss of funds when St. John's started the Corpus Christi Catholic Church, 6001 W. 15th St. Last year's fiesta raised more than $41,000 but only made a $4,000 profit after costs. This year the church is asking for more community involvement to help offset costs. Money raised at this year's event will be used toward a college scholarship fund for a Mexican youth in the Lawrence area and for capital improvements at the church's elementary school.

Spencer exhibit recalls past foundations of modern society
The exhibit, which will remain open through July 19, commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Great Exhibition — also known as the world's fair.
Spencer Research Library is taking a step back in time this summer as it presents the exhibit, "The Great Exhibition of Industry of All Nations, 1851."
James Helyar, Spencer graphics curator, said the exhibit provided an informative look into a time of revolutionary change marked by urbanization, the spread of railroads, the telegraph and the use of steamships.
The collection features books, newspaper accounts and hand-colored lithographs of the first exhibition, which drew 6 million spectators and featured more than 14,000 exhibitors.
Although the exhibit will close after July 19, Helyar has prepared a Web site where interested people can view digital images and gain information about the first Great Exhibition.

NATION Former KU signee Stevenson charged with statutory rape
Utah Jazz rookie DeShawn Stevenson has been charged with statutory rape for having sex with a 14-year-old girl, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Stevenson, a 6-foot-5 guard who had signed with KU two seasons ago before going to the NBA straight from high school last year, was charged last week in Fresno Superior Court, chief deputy district attorney Liz Mitchell said.
The 20-year-old Stevenson, a Fresno native, faces up to three years in state prison if convicted. His whereabouts Tuesday were not immediately known.
A warrant was issued Monday for Stevenson's arrest, the Fresno County Sheriff's Department said.
Stevenson is accused of having sex with the girl during a visit to Fresno in the past six weeks, Mitchell said. She didn't have any other details.
Neither the Jazz nor Stevenson's agent, Rob Pelinka, would comment Tuesday. Stevenson's lawyer, Richard Berman, did not immediately return several messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Stevenson played in 40 games for the Jazz as a rookie, averaging 2.2 points and 0.7 rebounds.
The Associated Press
On the night he was drafted, Stevenson was involved in a brawl at a high school all-star basketball game in neighboring Clovis.
This is the second time Stevenson has run into legal troubles since he was drafted in the first round by Utah last year, the 23rd pick overall.

Parking garage to hold 500 cars
Ninth and Mass site will hold 500 parking spaces
By Laurie Sisk Kansan staff writer
Almost seven months after the ground breaking of the Downtown 2000 Parking Garage project, business owners and city officials are eager for the opening of the garage at the 900 block of New Hampshire Street. The garage will cost an estimated $7 million and hold about 500 vehicles.
Dave Corliss, assistant city manager, said downtown would gain 400 new parking spaces when the four-story garage opens, in addition to the 100 spaces that are currently available.
"I think one of the good things about the downtown area is that it is a busy and viable area."
Corliss said. "One of the challenges that comes with that is providing the public with ample parking."
Corliss said construction is on schedule and the garage should open before the end of this year.
"We're looking forward to being able to provide more parking for downtown shoppers soon,"Corliss said.
The contract with Marlan Construction sets Dec. 22 as the expected completion date, but Mike Wildgen, city manager, said he hoped the garage could open sooner.
Wildgen said the construction was progressing well.
"It's just a personal hope, but I'd like to see it open sometime this fall," Wildgen said.
Corliss said the majority of spaces in the new parking garage would be open to the public, but some would be reserved for Firstar Bank customers and employees, whose lot was torn up
by the construction. Some spaces will be reserved for other downtown employees.
The street level of the garage will provide free two-hour parking and the upper levels will have long-term paid parking, Corliss said.
Handicapped parking also will be available.
The garage is being constructed in the middle of the block. A privately owned, threestory corner building with either commercial spaces or a hotel will be north of the garage, across from Java Dive, 10 E. Ninth St.
A four-story building comprised of retail shops and offices on the ground level and 24 loft apartments will be south of the garage, across from the Replay Lounge. 946 Massachusetts St.
On the east side of New Hampshire Street, the new Lawrence Arts Center will take up the majority of the block.
Although parking might have
been complicated because of detours and other changes in the past several months, city officials have heard few complaints since.
"The first two or three weeks of construction we had to adjust some parking and loading zone spots," Wildgen said. "But I haven't heard a word about any problems since."
*Nancy Nguyen, an employee of The Orient Vietnamese Cuisine, 1006 Massachusetts St., said she hoped the new garage would help customers feel less hurried. She said dinners are often rushed to pay a parking meter or avoid the restaurant because they are afraid of being ticketed.
"But the good news is that more parking is on the way," Corliss said.

Seven new officers join force and hit streets
By Julie Carter Kansan staff writer
Seven new Lawrence police officers hit the streets last week in an ongoing effort to bring the department closer to its allotted number of officers.
The officers, who were hired May21, went through a three-week orientation to help familiarize them with the city and station policy and are now completing a 12- to 14week field training session. The usual academy length is 21 weeks,
Sgt. Mike Patrick said. In the shortened orientation, the length of the field training will depend on how well the officers do.
These officers are the first to go through the shortened orientation program. The need to put more officers on the street prompted the change, Patrick said. Because the officers were already certified in other cities, the program could be shortened. If this group of officers do well, the department may use the three-week orientation again to
increase its number of officers.
"At this time, they are assigned to general patrol. There's not a specialized place for the officers now," Sgt. Rick Nickell said. "We have shown them how we do things around here, and we gave them background about our department."
Mayor Mike Rundle gave the new officers their radios and badges in a swearing-in ceremony June 11.
The department recruited officers through ads placed locally and nationally.
The new officers will help but not solve the department's shortage problem, Nickell said.
"We were short. We need officers, and we are still not at our 123 authorized strength." Nickell said.
Patrick said Lawrence had had trouble keeping its officers because of budget problems, but he said this had been a problem across the nation.

"Serious Drinks for Drinking Seriously"
Athlete earns award at meet
Tate earns All American status for NCAA performance
By Matt Norton Special to the Kansan
The senior finished fourth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 8:43.28,
earning All-American status.
Arkansas' Daniel Lincoln won the event in 8:42.31 as the top six finishers battled during the last lap and finished within 1.3 seconds of one another.
Distance coach Doug Clark said he expected a tight battle and was pleased with Tate's performance.
Andy Tate's dream season continued June 2 at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore.
"All things considered, I felt like there was a good chance he could win the race, with as many as eight people in contention at the end, and that's pretty much how it turned out," Clark said. "I wanted
Andy to be in position to win the race in the last two laps, and that's what he did."
Tate added the All-American award to one he earned during the indoor season in the distance medley relay. He also achieved personal best times in the 1,500 meters, mile, 3,000 meters and 3,000 steenlechase. He currently ranks third all-
time at Kansas in the steeplechase with his 8:38.11 at the Mt. Sac Relays in April.
Tate led the steeplechase 600 meters from the finish but couldn't hold off a charge by Lincoln, Weber State's Jeremy Tolman and Colorado's Steve Slattery.
Tate, a newcomer to the national scene in track and field, learned a great deal about the
Maryanne L. Kelley
pressure of a major national competition and what it takes to compete.
Tate: Won All-American honors in the 3000-meter steeple chase
Just a season ago, Tate said he worried about placing in the top six in the Big 12 conference. Now he joins teammate Charlie Gruber this weekend at the U.S. Track and Field Championships.
In his final Championships appearance as a collegian, Tate has more at stake than fast times and high places. National coaches and various sponsors will be looking for athletes to support on the way to the 2004 Olympics; if Tate performs well, he might get an opportunity to run professionally. But he isn't concerned with that now.
"I'm going to go in with the same mental game plan as I had for the NCAA final," Tate said. "I need to keep my composure. It's not the world championship trials in my eyes. The worst I've placed all year is fourth. I just have to be confident in what I'm doing and not stargaze."
Junior Andrea Bulat also earned All- American honors in her third straight NCAA Championship in the javelin.

Institute replaces myth with truth
By Dawn North Kansan staff writer
Camels—the brown furry kind—are big business in Africa. More hundred camels can carry more cargo than Christopher Columbus' three ships combined.
ANNA DUMOVICH/KANSAN
This was just one of many facts presented by Garth Myers, KU professor of geography, during a presentation Monday that kicked off a two-week institute, "People of Africa: A Source of Knowledge and Learning."
Dr. Khalid El-hassen, left and Dianne Schmidt share stories about their travels to Africa. Schmidt, a teacher from the Blue Springs School District, is one of 15 participants in a two-week class called, "Peoples of Africa." Sponsored by the African Studies Resource Center, the class teaches elementary and high school teachers about the African continent so they can change the way students see the world.
In his opening remarks, John Janzen, Director of the ASRC, said the KU resource centers were making a greater effort to bring a greater level of expertise to elementary and secondary teachers.
"We don't want to get too lost in academics, but want to focus on what teachers can use in their classrooms," she said.
Kelly Barker, geography teacher at Southwest Junior High in Lawrence,
Lyne Tumilinson has worked as the International and Area Studies Outreach Coordinator for 10 years. She said the outreach centers served as a liaison between faculty members who specialize in certain parts of the world to people in the outside world who were involved in teaching, community work, government, business and the media.
said one reason teaching about Africa was different now than it was 10 or 20 years ago was because we have become more involved with Africa from societal standpoints. One thing he does with his students is to focus on African solutions to African problems.
"I want them to see the culture from an African perspective instead of a U.S. viewpoint," he said.
Art Sloan, world literature and humanities teacher at Lawrence High School, wanted to understand more aspects of the culture so he could teach things that were important to the development of Africa, such as apartheid and the effect of European culture.
"Ultimately, what I want to teach is tolerance and acceptance of cultural diversity," he said.
Upcoming sessions in the institute will focus on values and traditional religions of African people, languages and culture and media stereotypes.

KU on fast track with new cable
A new fiber-optic connection, made possible by Sunflower Cablevision, will increase the number of cable TV channels in the residence halls from 36 to 72 within the next couple of years.
"It's about time," said Brad Baker, St. Louis senior.
Baker said he thought other universities already had a better selection of cable TV channels than the University of Kansas.
The new connection was up and running on parts of the main campus in March and the rest of campus will be upgraded in the future.
The connection provides faster access to campus network resources from faculty, staff, students and community members' homes that have Sunflower's Datavision cable modem service.
John Louis, director of networking and telecommunications services for the University, said the connection did not make the channels immediately available to the residence halls because the wiring needed to be upgraded, which would cost a few million dollars.
On Thursday, Sunflower Cablevision and the University celebrated their partnership. Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Dolph Simons, Jr., president of the World Company, which owns Sunflower Cablevision, joined two cables to symbolize the connection at the telecommunications control center in Elsworth annex.
"We have to be a university for the 21st century." Hemenway said on Friday. "Quality telecommunications are a central part."
Louis said the connection would substantially improve the speed of the Internet connection and quality of the cable TV system.
"It simply improves the quality and quantity of telecommunications applications between the institutions," Louis said. "It also allows us to take advantage of their technical expertise and vice versa."
The connection also permits live broadcasting through Sunflower's cable channel 66.
Dick Nelson, newsroom supervisor for KJHK and KUJH, said that KUJH benefited from the connection because the fiber-optic cable allowed Sunflower Cablevision to pick up a clearer signal of the programs. This would overcome any reception problems that might have existed in the past.

Shortened semester adds stress
By Karen Lucas
Special to the Kansan
Cutting class is hardly an option this summer for Leslie Eberly.
"You would miss an enormous amount of information," said Eberly, a Topeka senior who is one of 30 students taking the intensive version of Chemistry 184. "They cover a lot of chapters quickly."
Although courses like Chemistry 184, which is Foundations of Chemistry I, can be pretty demanding during a fall or spring semester, they can be even more so in the summer when they meet for fewer weeks.
When the beginning chemistry class is taught in the fall or spring, students attend three 50-minute lectures and a lab that meets for two hours and 50 minutes each week. In the summer, they have five one-hour lectures and nearly six hours of lab in just one week.
Peter Hierl, who is teaching the lecture portion of the course, is up front about the time commitment.
"If you spend 30 hours on the course and then you need to work 30 hours a week to earn tuition, it doesn't leave much time for partying," he said.
While Eberly juggles her part-time babysitting job with the final course that she needs for her degree in education, Kadie Lintner is spending a good part of her summer tackling Spanish 104—a course she can no longer put off if she plans to graduate by December 2002.
The Spanish class, which meets for five two-hour sessions a week, begins a new chapter every other day.
"It's very intense," said Lintner, Overland Park junior. "There's a good two hours of homework every night, if not more."
in the summer semester, two graduate teaching assistants share the Spanish 104 teaching
load. One teaches five classes and trades off with the other instructor for the next five. In the fall or spring, only one GTA teaches a section.
Gabriela Chavarria, one of the summer GTAs, said she favored the arrangement because it gave her time to work on her dissertation as well as to prepare for class.
Lintner said she liked having two instructors for the course.
"Tomas is very funny and makes class interesting," she said. "Gabriela is very organized and teaches very well, so it's a good balance."
About 20 students are taking Spanish 104 with Chavarria and Tomas Chacon, but only six students are enrolled in German 104—a number with which GTA Helmut Tweer is more than happy.
"The class size is wonderful because you can interact much better with the students and address their problems immediately." Tweer said.
Tweer also said he liked how the extended classes gave students more time to immerse themselves in the language. Yet, he said, the longer class periods had a downside.
"For two hours, you have to calculate students' fatigue and, therefore, find ways to keep that from happening." Tweet said.
Phillip Paludan, history professor, also commented on the challenges that a longer class session posed. For his four-week civil war course that is worth three credit hours, he alternates lectures with videos and discussion.
"When you got students for two hours and 10 minutes five days a week, even the best lecturer loses their attention," Paludan said.

DONATION Money pledged toward new research

school of business and the Edwards Campus.
school of business and the Edwards Campus. Hall said that the foundation studied the University's plans and made a proposal to the foundation's board
"With enough emphasis we can become one of the top centers for life science," Hall said. "It's a field that's crying for attention these days."
"It was a very easy sell," Hall said.
He said the opportunity to donate came at the right time.
NATION & WORLD
"Our community, as any community, needs higher education," Hall said. "I don't know of a greater need. If you don't you lose all of your kids eventually, they go somewhere else."
The $27 million pledge toward a new research facility at KU Med will partially fund the $65 million proposal. The building is planned for a plot north of 39th Street and adjacent to the Med Center library in Kansas City, Mo. The University is responsible for allocating the remaining $38 million to fund the research facility.
"We will continue to raise funds privately and talk with the governor and legislature about the building." Hemenway said. "We'll also look at how we can reallocate funds within the next five years. The Hall gift is dependent on us to break ground in five years."
Maurice Joy, professor emeritus of the School of Business, said he was overwhelmed with the foundation's $500,000 pledge to fund a professorship in his name.
"It's a wonderful honor. The Hall people are the salt of the earth," he said. "It's especially great for the School of Business. One of the things that people don't realize is that it is a lot harder to get gifts in the humanities."
Joy said he was in a circle of about 35 people who knew about the pledge before the press conference and had to keep it a secret.
"It was like the D-Day invasion," he said of the event's secrecy.
The program included a buffet and a three-piece band. Students and custodial employees who passed through noted the festivity.
"It's fancier than a distinguished professor awards ceremony," said Ning Lei, Beijing, China graduate student. Lei said the University sent e-mails to alert students of the program.

Navy halts bombings
VIEQUES, Puerto Rico Some sneak onto the bombing range by boat. Others don camouflage and use the cover of night to cut through fences.
The Associated Press
The idea is to halt bombing practice on Vieques island and being arrested is part of the deal, even for the nephew of President Kennedy and the wife of the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
"We are not violent criminals even though we have endured the act of shackles and have been treated as common criminals," an indignant Jacqueline Jackson told a federal judge Tuesday. She was jailed because she refused to pay $3,000 bail.
Activists working to end the U.S.Navy's six decades of bombing exercises on Vieues claim their peaceful guerrilla tactics succeeded in repeatedly pausing the
military maneuvers and contributed to President Bush's surprise announcement last week that the Navy must withdraw in two years.
"The people of Vieques have defeated the most powerful military apparatus in the history of humanity," activist leader Robert Rabin said Tuesday.
Another protest leader, Ismael Guadalupe, said the Navy wasn't bombing Tuesday because protesters were on its prized firing range—a claim the Navy quickly disputed.
"Our courage has turned Vieues into a world stage of peaceful protest," Guadalupe said.
The cause lately has drawn celebrities like Jackson and environmental lawyer Robert Kennedy Jr. to back charges that the bombing harms the environment and health of islanders.
The Navy denies that and describes as unscientific local
studies that claim Vieues residents suffer a higher incidence of cancer and other ills.
Actor Edward James Olmos and the Rev. Al Sharpton were among 180 people arrested during exercises in late April and early May. Sharpton has been on a hunger strike in a New York jail since May 29, and dozens of Puerto Rican protesters also are still in jail.
On Monday, as Navy jets dropped dummy bombs, Jackson walked through a quarter-mile of thick underbrush and woods to breach a Navy fence. She was arrested soon afterward.
Protesters say they want to reach the 900-acre beachside bombing range that is on 12,000 acres the Navy owns on the eastern end of the island. The Navy land is protected by a nine-mile arc of fencing that is regularly cut and then repaired.
Payments ease WWII slaves' pain
PRAGUE, Czech Republic A fund to compensate World War II-era slave laborers sent checks Tuesday to 10,000 people in the Czech Republic, the first payments to be made after years of haggling over the German-sponsored fund.
The Associated Press
Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kavan described the payments by the $4.3 billion fund, which is supported 50-50 by the German government and industry, as "historic."
Victims are eligible to receive up to $6,500 each if they were in concentration camp programs intended to work prisoners to
death, or up to $2,175 if they were forced to work elsewhere for German companies.
Up to 1.5 million surviving slave and forced laborers — most in central and eastern Europe — are believed eligible for compensation.
German officials said last week that the Jewish Claims Conference and organizations in the Czech Republic and in Poland would be the first to receive payments.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE. 20, 2001
The Polish fund said it would make its first payments June 28. The Jewish Claims Conference didn't immediately name a date to start payments.
Of the 10,000 Czechs to be paid in the first wave, 2,434
served as slave laborers in Nazi concentration camps, and 7,566 are former forced laborers, Jan Sechter of the Czech-German fund said.
The Czech-German fund has registered some 84,000 applications for compensation, but hundreds more applications arrive every day, Sechter said.
Dagmar Buresova, head of the fund's board, thanked the victims for their patience, which she said "helped to create a political climate that allowed cooperation with the German side."
Czech slave laborers will receive a total of $186 million.
Inmate asks for forgiveness just before execution
Strapped to the same padded gurney on which Timothy McVeigh died, drug kingpin Juan Raul Garza received a chemical injection yesterday and became the second inmate in eight days to be executed by the U.S. government. While McVeigh died stoic and remorseless, Garza was fidgety as he awaited execution, and apologized for the murders he committed. "I just want to say that I'm sorry and I apologize for all the pain and grief that I have caused," the 44-year-old Garza said. "I ask your forgiveness, and God bless."
Justice Department seeks quick end to tobacco lawsuit
The Justice Department wants to settle its drawn-out civil lawsuit seeking damages from tobacco companies, government officials said Tuesday, in a move that appeared to take the industry by surprise. Two Bush administration sources said there has been concern about the government's case. These officials, discussing the matter only on grounds of anonymity, said the department would prefer to go for a settlement rather than risk losing.
United States prepares pilots for missions in no-fly zone
Lt. Col. T.J. O'Shaughnessy steers toward Iraq, where the American pilot patrols the skies with laser-guided bombs under the wings of his jet fighter. In his vest, he carries a pistol and a letter urging his safe return if he is shot down.
The no-fly zone over northern Iraq is becoming more dangerous for its enforcers, with Iraqi firing more often from beefed-up air defense facilities. The United States is responding by avoiding risky areas and making sure pilots are ready for a possible rescue mission.
Condom ads have not aroused network television interests
A decade after Fox ran the first condom advertisement on network television, a study has concluded that they aren't much more common on the air today. CBS and NBC have since joined Fox in allowing condom ads, yet the policies are so restrictive that prophylactic manufacturers don't bother making many, said a report released Tuesday by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.

Charlie Rose grabs for the hull of the sailboat while Cody Walters treads water nearby. "That was the first time I've ever flipped one of those boats," Rose said Monday at Clinton Lake
Not so smooth sailing Crews face rough waters, put skills to the test
STORY BY LUKE WETZEL
alone turkey buzzard soared over the Clinton Lake marina as Charlie Rose secured a 420 sailboat onto the trailer hitch of his '88 Toyota.
46
"Yee-haw!" said Rose. "It's going to be fun today. We're going to be flying."
In the cove by the dock, three brightly colored windsurfers and one noisy jet ski drove around in circles. Rose, Overland Park senior, mimicked the sound of the jet ski motor while rigging the sails for the afternoon excursion.
"I'll be the first to say I've had fun in a jet ski, but the kind of fun you have on one is limited because it's not that hard," he said. "I prefer sailing. It's clean and peaceful. Would you rather go hiking and backpacking or take an ATV or snowmobile into the mountains? It's the same kind of thing."
Rose's sailing partner for the afternoon, Cody Walters, Onaga senior, said he was ready for his second time sailing. The other time he sailed the mast of the four-person sailboat broke.
The conditions that afternoon didn't look any friendlier. The relentless flapping of the main sail and the angry-looking waves suggested it would be a rocky voyage.
"It was really exciting when that happened," he said. "We cut right into the wind, and there was too much force, so it snapped at the bottom. One of our friends had to jump in the water to save Charlie's dad's dog."
"It's going to be hairy, but we can swing it," Rose said. "Today is one of those really fun days. It's the kind of day where you don't mind getting wet because it's going to be hot."
Once Rose had set both the sails, Walters hopped in to join him, launching the boat away from the dock with his momentum. Within minutes, the 14-foot boat was reduced to the size of a model against the backdrop of the dam, a wake of foam trailing after it.
"One thing I like about sailing is that it's a challenge," Rose said. "You have to be interested in doing it. Sometimes people want to go along for the ride, but you still have to do something. There's really no free ride on a sailboat."
Jesse Anderson, Lawrence junior, has been sailing at Clinton Lake since she was three years old.
"My dad dragged me out there," she said. "In high school he used to excuse me from class to go out to the lake."
Anderson grew to enjoy the sport at a summer sailing camp in Michigan.
"Iused to hate it,"she said. "It's hard to learn things from your parents. Sailing with your friends is completely different."
Since then, she has served as commodore of the KU Sailing club and competed in regattas in Texas, South Carolina, California, Rhode Island and other places. The University also hosted two regattas last year. The most recent was a division qualifier for nationals held in May. Large regattas can draw up to 18 four-person teams, which compete in races that go around buoys placed in triangular formations.
"Anything you're looking for in a sport it has." Anderson said. "You can sail to relax or get an adrenaline rush from going fast. If you want a tactical mental game, you can race."
Anderson said a common
aphorism is that anybody can learn sailing in a day but that it takes a lifetime to perfect.
"It itakes a lot of time to trim your sails right and learn the directions of the wind," she said. "It's like playing chess. You can tell anybody how the pieces work, but as far as putting them into a cohesive whole and winning the game, it takes awhile to learn. Lots of people call it chess on water."
Trimming, adjusting the angle of a sail, can be a delicate process. Let it out too far, and it begins flapping. Bring it in too much, and it won't catch enough wind to move the boat. Tacking, which is turning the bow into the wind to change direction, can be difficult on a windy day.
Rose and Walters found this out the hard way. In the middle of tacking downwind, the boat capsized, spilling both of them out.
THAD ALLENDEE/KANSAN
Walters said the strong wind threw them off balance.
"It was amazing," he said. "We were out there, and it was nothing but the sound of the sail flapping."
Rose remained undaunted. Within minutes he was back on the water.
"Man, I love these waves," he said. "It's like, we're in Kansas. Do you believe it?"
Rose steered the boat upwind, guiding it over the waves until it skimmed across the water. A windsurfer on the periphery prompted him to bring in the sail enough to accelerate.
THAD ALLENDER/KANSAN
As waves crash against the bow of the sailboat, Cody Walters, foreground, Onaga senior and Charlie Rose, Overland Park senior, lean out to counterbalance Clinton Lake's treacherous waters. Because of high winds and choppy water Monday, Walters and Rose faced the classic struggle between man and nature.
"Let's race this guy," Rose said. "Any time you've got two sails going in the same direction, it's a race."
Rose was victorious, but the race was short lived. After cruising past the windsurfer, a gust of wind threw the boat off balance. With the sound and fury of 260 pounds of fiberglass slamming into the surf, the boat went belly-up.
"That's what we call a death roll," Rose said. This time the boat was flipped over completely. Rose ducked under the water to push up the centerboard, then emerged to climb on top of the boat and use the board as leverage to flip it back around.
After ducking under the boom, Charlie Rose watches as Cody Walters secures the cheat in the cleat, completing a 180-degree tack.
"The wind today is like an unruly horse," he said. "It doesn't want to take the bit."
After cruising back into the shore, striking the sails and loading up the boat, Rose and Walters
"You really do get torn up in this sport," Rose said, admiring a series of bruises on his toe. "The lake water really doesn't help the healing process either."
Anderson said she still finds sailing relaxing despite participating in races and helping run the business side of the club.
"I think that will make the club itself more successful." he said.
Rose said the club hoped to build a dock by the water so members could sail without a trailer hitch to haul a boat from the marina.
"It's my release," she said.
"Instead of going out and burning down houses, I go out sailing."

HOROSCOPES
This week's birthday.
You are amazingly powerful this year. Don't let it go to your head. You're smart and lucky, hardworking and brave. The only thing that could trip you up would be your own ego. If you think you're doing this all by yourself, or start grabbing things all for yourself, you'll get your comeuppance. There's a built-in mechanism to keep you altruistic, as you'll no doubt discover.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You're so smart right now, you should be on TV. You could win enough in one of those game shows to retire. It helps if you've been doing your homework for years. But if you've been goofing off, now is the time to catch up. Apply yourself!
a hunch could pay off, but it's not really a gamble. More likely, you've been waiting for the right time. An older person, someone with whom you rarely agree, is pivotal. His recommendation cinches the deal, so be nice.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
You'll win the argument, no doubt about that. Can you do it in a way that's nurturing and supportive? No need to prove how strong or smart you are. That's obvious. Prove how gracious you can be in victory.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Do they expect you to do everything? Are your own inner ammeteries about to drive you nuts? You are your own worst crit, if that's any consolation. Nobody cares anywhere near as much as you do. They all have other stuff to think about. On the other hand, your conscientious attitude leads you to excellence. Onward and upward!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Libra (Sept.23-Oct 22)
You have a choice between near and far. Choose far.
Between little and big, choose big. Between ordinary and special, choose special. Between petty and universal significance . . . well? You should have the idea by now. Don't wait. At midnight, your coach turns into a pumpkin.
Again, mum's the word. Don't say anything; just show your teeth. That's not really a smile, but it's commonly mistaken for agreement. Or you could say "I got it!" just to prove you're listening. That doesn't really mean you agree, but it works.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You're not in the clear yet, but it won't be long. Just a few more leads to be followed up on, some loose ends to be tied. Tomorrow, the light at the end of the tunnel should be bright enough to read by. Take it one step at a time.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You could be undergoing an amazing transformation. You could be giving up some habits that never have worked in your favor. You could be growing slimmer, happier and a lot wiser. The first part is: Get the best coach. The second (and harder) part is: Never question the coach's judgment.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Some of your fears will have to be abandoned. You don't have time for them any more. Only keep the helpful ones, like the one that keeps you from touching hot things or jumping from high places. The ones about not being good enough? Flush those down the toilet. They're slowing you down.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
A private conversation could cause you to forget a public obligation. Better call those folks and let them know you're not going to be there. Their leader might get mad at you. Don't be any more irresponsible than absolutely necessary. Promise to finish the task tomorrow, and mean it.

Binocular's new CD combines genres for sublime effect
By Maggie Newcomer Special to the Kansan
Binocular, a 25-year-old artist from New York City, recently released his self-titled debut album for Maverick Recording Company. Binocular did all of the vocals, instruments and programming for the album, as well as the producing and recording. He previously released purely rhythm tracks under different names until he blended his guitar, dance and rock mixes with his smooth vocals for a stunning and pleasing result.
The album consists of 12 songs. One single "Deep" has already begun radio play. The album's other featured single, "You," leads as the first track and immediately puts the listener in a good mood or changes a good mood into a better mood. With many artists today, each song seems to be a recreation of the last. This is definitely not the case with Binocular. Each song has its own unique sound and rhythm while remaining easy to listen to. Every time a
song ends and slowly fades out, the listener is pleasantly surrised by the song that follows.
Some of the album's highlights include the eighth track, "Fire Burns Bright," the best song on the album. It is upbeat and fun, the kind of song you can't help but sing along with on the radio. The chorus and instruments are the keys to this song. There's a single guitar in the chorus that stands out but still blends effortlessly into the song.
"Gone Away" focuses on Binocular's soft and emotion-filled voice with quiet strings and guitar in the background. It starts out slow and keeps a calming tempo throughout.
Binocular can be played all the way through without having to jump between tracks. This is the perfect CD to play on a long road trip or to relax to after a rough day.

Perfect Storm marred with imperfections
BRADENTON, Fla.—A lawsuit filed by the families of fishermen and others portrayed in last summer's movie The Perfect Storm can go to trial, a judge ruled.
Jodi Tyne, former wife of captain Frank William "Billy" Tyne Jr., and her two daughters sued Warner Bros. and the two companies that produced the film. The lawsuit — filed in U.S. District Court in Orlando in August — says the movie cast Billy Tyne in a negative light and was produced without the families' consent.
Time Warner Inc., then parent company of Warner Bros., asked a judge to dismiss the case, saying it had the right to make the movie.
Jerilynn M. Amrhein joined the lawsuit in October on behalf of her son, whose father, Dale "Murph" Murphy, was portrayed in the movie by John C. Reilly.
The lawsuit claims the movie falsely depicts Billy Tyne, played by George Clooney, as an "unprofessional, unseaworthy and incompetent" captain who suffers a "self-imposed death."
Judge Anne C. Conway denied the company's motion and cleared the way for a trial next June, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported in its Tuesday edition.
The film, based on the book by the same name by author Sebastian Junger, is an account of Billy Tyne's final swordfishing expedition in October 1991 into the heart of storms that converged in the North Atlantic.
Popular homemaker to reveal true self in book
NEW YORK — It's not as easy being Martha Stewart as it looks, the lifestyle guru divulges in her upcoming autobiography.
The book, tentatively titled "Martha: Really and Truly," is scheduled to come out in 2003, the publisher Clarkson Potter announced Monday.
In a statement, the 59-year-old Stewart said she will acknowledge her sacrifices, personal heartbreaks, "bumps in the road" and imperfections in a seemingly perfect world.
"To many onlookers, what I have accomplished may appear easy, but it was all done with hard work, old-fashioned elbow grease and a certain amount of emotional pain and suffering," Stewart said.
Muralists' creativity to be kept in California
LOS ANGELES — California has declared a cease-fire in the war for the walls.
Artists' complaints have prompted the California Department of Transportation to temporarily stop the white-washing of graffiti-covered freeway murals.
In the past six months, "taggers" have hit at least four giant wall paintings, some of them dating to the 1984 Olympics. Afterward, cleanup crews have partially or completely covered the walls.
A few years ago, graffiti artists had an "unwritten code" against spray-painting their names on artwork, said mural artist Frank Romero, who has done numerous public art projects throughout California.
"I've had murals up 20 years and they've never been hit," Romero said. "This is recent, in the last three to five years. It's a war."

Music lovers true to their tracks
Eight-tracks bring back nostalgic era of the 1970s
The Associated Press
ENDICOTT, N.Y. — The ABBA 8-track plays in Len Saaf's apartment as he shows off the rest of his collection.
There's Kansas, the Commodores, Cheap Trick and a Ktel cartridge with the Barry Manilow chestnut "Mandy." This is music Saaf heard on the radio growing up in the '70s. Then there's the stereo, the one he found in a thrift store. It has a flywheel tuner, faux wood sides and — crucially — an 8-track slot.
"It was really something amazing," he says. "It was like digging something up out of the ground."
Or the grave.
Eight-tracks are supposed to be dead and forgotten, a musical format long ago relegated to the dustbin of pop culture's history, a dud technology, a symbol of '70s goofiness as potent as the leisure suit.
They are embraced by a community of collectors.
These 8-track aficionados are music lovers, retrotechnophiles, '70s survivors and iconoclasts.
But mostly, they seem like people hip to some really big ioke.
"There's a certain humor in playing an 8-track in 2001," said Daniel Gibson, a Texan who sells 8-tracks online with his wife, Kathy.
Developed for car audio systems in the '60s, the 8-track format flourished in the '70s before being abandoned in the '80's.
In retrospect, it's easy to see why.
The cartridges were chunkier than cassette tapes. Song sequences were shuffled to fit the four programs (two stereo tracks for each program, thus eight tracks)
The latter-day attraction of 8-tracks is a mystery even to the people who collect them—few report becoming a "tracker" intentionally.
Saaf, for instance, fell into it after finding the stereo. The 38-year-old software engineer already had a keen eye for retro-kitsch, evidenced by bigeye waif paintings hanging on
the wall of his Binghamton, N.Y., area apartment.
A common tracker story involves coming across some old cartridges, then maybe picking up more and more over the years. The next thing you know, you have 20,000 cartridges.
At least that's the way it worked for Malcolm Riviera, a pioneering tracker from Hickory, N.C., who maintains the p o p u l a r www.8trackheaven.com Web site.
"It's the music and the nostalgia and the funkiness of it all," Riviera explains. "And it's a cheap hobby."
Price is certainly a lure — 8tracks can go for under $3 on the Web and 25 cents at thrift stores.
There also is a widespread feeling that 8-tracks are so lame they're lovable, like a runt puppy. But nostalgia might be the biggest draw. Since the format's heyday more or less rose and fell with the '70s, 8-tracks tend to evoke powerful associations with that decade.
Saaf can recall listening to Supertramp in a Monte Carlo owned by his best friend's mom
in high school. Riviera remembers listening to his new "Abbey Road" 8-track on Christmas morning 1969 as he played with his sister's Spirograph. He still remembers where those old Beatles songs would fade out to a "ka-chik."
Daniel and Kathy Gibson, who keep a shed full of 8-tracks for sale at 75 cents to $1 a pop in Arlington, Texas, see their typical customer as a guy about their age — 39 — who maybe bought a Trans Am with an 8-track player and is looking for the music from his youth.
Business is brisk. The Gibbsons report getting a lot of calls from "mainstream people" in both the United States and abroad. Elsewhere on the Web, e-Bay lists hundreds of 8-tracks.
"Maybe it's the American way," Riviera says. "You kick something down then you go back to it years later."
West Wing creator to enter drug treatment
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing TV series, will be allowed to enter a drug treatment program instead of serving prison time for possession of cocaine and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Sorkin, 39, who pleaded guilty yesterday to a misdemeanor and two felony counts, must complete the two-year program or risk a prison sentence and fine.
"Needless to say, it is a relief to have a resolution regarding my legal situation," he said. "I
fully intend to proceed as directed by the court and am eager to get back to work and focus on what's important."
Sorkin was bound for Las Vegas when he was arrested April 15 at Burbank airport. He later was charged with one felony count each of possession of cocaine and mushrooms and a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession. He had initially pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Sentencing was deferred yesterday after his change of plea, pending the outcome of his treatment program.
A lack of a criminal record made him a candidate for treatment, said Sandi Gibbons, a representative for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
The program, which includes counseling and drug tests, will be administered on an outpatient basis and will not require Sorkin, who has been free on $10,000 bail, to enter a residential treatment facility.
A Dec. 3 hearing was set for a progress report.
If he fails to meet the court's requirements, Sorkin could serve up to three years, eight
months in prison and pay a $10,000 fine plus other restitution costs.
Sorkin, whose credits include the play and film A Few Good Men as well as the Emmy-winning White House drama The West Wing, has acknowledged that he underwent treatment in the past for a cocaine addiction.
Young actor's career saved by Spielberg
The Associated Press
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif — Vin Diesel could be poster boy for all out-of-work actors who have thought about packing it in and joining the 9-to-5 set.
A stage actor who had trained in New York City theaters since childhood, Diesel came to Hollywood a decade ago at 23 expecting studios would clamor for his talent.
Instead, the muscular Diesel had to fall back on his skills as a nightclub bouncer to make ends meet.
"I came out here thinking, I'm a New York actor, this town's just going to eat it up and I'm going to be working like crazy," said Diesel, 33, who stars as leader of a street-racing gang in The Fast and the Furious.
"A year goes by, and I failed miserably. I can count the auditions on two hands. I went back to New York a complete failure. I had to regroup and strategize."
From that strategizing came Multi-facial, a short film Diesel wrote, directed and starred in. It was shot in three days in 1994 for just $3,000.
"I got a phone call on Saturday morning." Diesel said in an interview at the venerable Hollywood hotel Chateau Marmont.
The film had a prestigious screening at the Cannes Film Festival, but its real payoff came in 1997, when Diesel returned to New York from the Sundance Film Festival, where his low-budget feature film Strrays had played.
"My agent said that Steven Spielberg just saw Multi-facial and loves it. That was enough for me. I don't know how much more she really needed to say to put me on cloud nine. I was ecstatic."
But there was more. Spielberg wanted Diesel in Saving Private Ryan. Diesel's response: "What's Saving Private Ryan?"
Months later, Diesel was in
Europe playing Private Caparzo, the member of Tom Hanks' squad killed by a sniper. It was Diesel's first professional film job. It was his first big acting money. It was the first time he got health benefits.
After Saving Private Ryan, Diesel was hired to lend his resonant voice to the title character of the animated adventure The Iron Giant. Next came a supporting part in the stock-market drama Boiler Room. Then the lead as an escaped killer in last year's sci-fi horror flick, Pitch Black, a role tailor-made for Diesel's rock-hard frame, piercing dark eyes and shaved skull.
Later this summer, Diesel costars with John Malkovich and Dennis Hopper in the gangster film Knockaround Guys, and next year he stars in the drug thriller "Diablo."
In The Fast and the Furious, Diesel plays Dominic Toretto, king of the Los Angeles street-racing scene. The film follows his uneasy friendship with a new kid on the block (Paul Walker), who turns out to be an undercover cop investigating a rash of truck hijacking.
Before filming, Diesel attended some illegal street races and came to understand what draws drivers to the sport.
"It's an opportunity to be competitive without gang warfare. It's a nighttime thing. I guess the fact that it's outside of the law makes it a little alluring, too," Diesel said
"I used to say, 'If I'm not star by the time I'm 18, I'm going to quit the business,'" Diesel said. "Then I said, 'If I'm not a star by the time I'm 21, I'm out of this business.' Then it was 23, then I changed it to 25."
In the end, his big break with Spielberg didn't come till Diesel was nearing 30.

Dillon Higdon rests after scrimmaging. For many of the young basketball players, the 2001 Roy Williams Basketball Camp is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play the game they love in Allen Fieldhouse.
ROY'S BOYS
I will not be alone. I am the best.
The next generation
Kansas Men's Basketball administrative assistant Jerod Hasse encourages the youngsters to be scrappy on defense.
The 2001 Roy Williams Basketball Camp has brought thousands of young basketball enthusiasts to Allen Fieldhouse in recent years. The sessions run from June 17 to 21 and June 24 to 28 and teach the campers everything from the basic fundamentals to more complicated tips that they can only learn from the experienced staff.

KU Professor assures Golfito's safety for students
Professor discusses security, Martin's murder during meetings with students
By Karen Lucas Special to the Kansan
After visiting Golfito, Costa Rica less than a month after a KU student was fatally stabbed there-Charles Stansifer, professor of history and former director of the Center of Latin American Studies said safety was not a general problem.
Stansifer said he thought what happened was an unusual occurrence.
"There's a very low homicide rate in Golfito," Stansifer said. "It is in general—despite this one tragic incident—a pretty safe place to be."
The body of Shannon Martin, Topeka senior, was found in the early morning of May 13. She traveled to Golifor, where the University of Kansas has a study abroad program, for a week to do field work.
Stansifer also traveled to San Jose, where he had a meeting with various officials at the U.S. Embassy.
The purpose of his visit to Golfito was to assess its safety.
"I saw my mission as trying to understand the dangers and the security of students living and working in Golfito," said Stansifer, who has been to Costa Rica about 75 times for teaching and research purposes.
Stansifer said things were going well for the students, who are studying biology and living with host families.
"They're excited about the opportunities, and they're taking advantage of them," he said. "I don't think the students are overly concerned about problems of security."
Nevertheless, Stansifer said safety was addressed in their orientation session. References were made to Martin's murder, and although students had the chance to ask questions about it, they didn't heavily pursue the topic. Students also were advised not to get out alone at night or venture into the rain forests unless they were in a group. Students were given life jackets.
Stansifer said he talked about security with a lot of people in Golfto—including hotel owners, other North Americans and also individuals in bars.
Shortly before her death, Martin had gone to a bar, which Stansifer said was in a safe area. However, the bar has been closed since the murder.
Martin's murder still is under investigation.
In his meeting last week with Jaime Daremblum, Costa Rican ambassador to United States, Sen. Sam Brownback learned that Costa Rican officials planned to have the FBI do DNA testing on evidence, said Erik Hotmire, press secretary for Brownback.
"His meeting on Tuesday with the Costa Rican ambassador to the United States was a very professional meeting, and Senator Brownback is hopeful that we will be able to move toward justice in this tragic case," Hotmie said.

HALL FAMILY FOUNDATION DONATION
KU schools divide grant
Campus will benefit from $8.5 million gift
By Mark Hansen
Kansan staff writer
The Hall Family Foundation's $42 million gift has been pledged and allocated to the University of Kansas—now $8.5 million of it will trickle down into the Lawrence campus.
"We did approach them and ask them for a gift," he said. "They responded."
Director of communications for the Kansas University Endowment Association, John Scarffe, said even pledges the size of the foundation's $42 million gift are usually the result of solicitation.
The pledge includes $1 million to fund two professorships in life sciences.
$7 million will go to the Hall Center for the Humanities for construction, lectures and professorships in the humanities.
Paul Kelly, chairman and Professor of molecular biosciences said, "The funds have been pretty carefully spelled out. The endowed professorship is half million—that will have a good trickle down effect. The state of Kansas provides a
$8.5 million
$500,000 will go to an endowed professorship at the School of Business.
Where the money goes
one-for one match for those professorships."
Here's how much of the $42 million Hall Family Foundation donation will come to the Lawrence campus.
Kelly said he hopes the $500,000 for each professorship will be matched privately so the state would have to match $1 million, making the professorships worth $2 million each.
He said the professorship money will finance the salary and research costs for each new professor and a start-up package. which will cost about $450,000.
$23.5 million
KYLP RAMSEY/KANSAN
A committee will search nationally for the new professors. They are
Center for Humanities.
The grant also includes $7
Janet Crow, executive director of the center, said the gift was unique.
"To receive a $7 million gift in the humanities is extremely unusual and very significant,"
A building committee will decide by early fall if $3 million of the grant will be used to build a new building or renovate an existing one. The other $4 million will fund professorship chairs and lecture activities.
the interest collected from the endowed chair fund would finance the Hall Center lecture series indefinitely. Crow said.
Part of the foundation's pledge, $1 million, will help fund a challenge grant for the center, which has a $500,000 base and requires the center to raise $4 for each dollar of the grant before the center will receive the money. The Endowment Association will raise the remaining $1 million.
The School of Business will receive $500,000 for an endowed professorship honoring Maurice Joy, professor emeritus in finance.

Kansas Union renovation continues
Construction's second phase winds down as third phase waits for contractors' bids
WILCOX
By Luke Wetzel Kansan staff writer
A new convenience store and expanded dining area approach completion at the Kansas Union while the final phase of the renovation awaits bidding.
The last phase of the renovation, a $6.2 million project, is up for bid Tuesday, July 10. However, before work will begin on the one-and-a-half-year project, students will see some noticeable changes.
The Hawk Stop, a 24-hour convenience store, will be finished in early July and ready by the fall.
"It's an expansion of what we currently do," said Pat Beard, building services director. Beard said the store, which will replace the candy counter, would also serve as a point to check KUIDs so that students, faculty and staff are the only ones using the computer lab. The lab will be open 24 hours a day.

Burger King, Pizza Hut, Mexican and Asian cafes, a coffee bar and convenience store highlight some of the additions to the union, which should be completed shortly after the fall season starts.
THAD ALLENDER/KANSAN
The third floor dining area will be a completely revamped food court by the fall. Added will be a Burger King, Pizza Hut, cafe, salad area, coffee area and Mexican and Chinese food areas.
Steve Scannell, assistant director of consultant services at Design & Construction Management, said he hoped to have negotiations with the contractor
finished by Wednesday, August 1
"We're going to try and hurry that through the state system so we can get the project done quicker," he said.
"We're hoping to do it in two weeks."
we're hoping to do it in two weeks. Beard said the renovation also would provide a central stairwell.

Frederick's resignation effective on Saturday
The search committee has yet to announce new director candidates
As the June 30 resignation of Athletics Director Bob Frederick draws near, the search committee and representatives for the KU Athletics Department remain secretive about progress on finding a new leader for the department.
"It's not something that's public information," said Reggie Robinson, search committee chairman. "The search is a private personnel matter."
By Laurie Sisk Kansan staff writer
Doug Vance, sports information director, said the decision to appoint an interim director would be Chancellor Robert Hemenway's decision and that Hemenway has not yet indicated such a move.
Frederick's resignation will be effective Saturday, yet no mention of an interim director for the department has been announced.
Hemenway could not be reached for comment yesterday.
INSIDETODAY
Frederick announced his resignation April 26, and a 16-member search committee subsequently began the process of finding a replacement.
Frederick was hired in 1987 as KU's 12th athletics director. After his resignation becomes effective, Frederick plans to teach in the School of Education.
The search committee and Heidrick & Struggles, the executive search firm, are looking for candidates to fill the vacancy. The firm also helped fill athletics director vacancies at Arizona State, Louisiana State, Michigan and Notre Dame.
Two weeks ago, Robinson said Heidrick & Struggles would recommend candidates to Hemenway but would not release the candidates' names to the public. Robinson did not comment about the progress of the firm's search
Robinson also said the search committee wants to have a list of candidates for Hemenway's consideration by late June or early July.

Vandals damage downtown buildings with graffiti
Downtown Lawrence was vandalized over the weekend when 17 buildings were damaged by graffiti, Lawrence police said.
The graffiti was found on the rear wall of 12 businesses between the 900 and 1100 block of Massachusetts Street. The other damaged buildings are located on Vermont, New Hampshire, Sixth and Ninth streets.
"The letters and characters are of an unknown origin, possibly Asian," said Sgt. Mark Warren.
Police are unsure whether the graffiti is gang-related and how much it will cost to remove it.
Former KU basketball player enters diversion
Steve Woodberry, a former KU basketball player, began a diversion program this week for charges of domestic abuse and criminal damage.
Woodberry, who played from 1990 to 1994, was arrested at 5:15 p.m. June 1 at a car wash at the 2800 block of Four Wheel Drive after a fight with girlfriend Stephanie Dver of Olathe.
Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence police said Woodberry pushed Dyer into the driver's side door of her Mazda 626, causing two dents and choked her. The dents totaled $400 in damage. Dyer did not receive medical treatment.
If Woodberry completes the diversion, all charges will be dropped, Judge Jack Murphy said.
Three arrests made during Saturday sobriety check
The Lawrence Police Department made three arrests at the sobriety checkpoint Saturday morning.
The checkpoint was held at the 700 block of North Second Street from 12:30 to 2:30 a.m. The 11 officers worked at the site where 182 cars passed through. Three drivers were taken to jail for driving while intoxicated, three were ticketed for having open containers of alcohol and one driver was ticketed for driving with a suspended license, Sgt. Kirk Fultz said.
The community responded positively to the checkpoint. Fultz said.
The next checkpoint will be held in July, but the exact date has not been determined.

KU Police to tackle campus issues covered in darkness
By Julie Carter Kansan staff writer
Even though there are fewer students on campus during the summer, the KU Public Safety Office keeps the same routine.
The office keeps all of its 28 personnel members on staff and continues to patrol the entire campus area, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey.
"We see the same problems, just fewer of them," Bailey said.
The office did not disclose how many officers were on duty at one time, but campus is patrolled at all hours.
Another safety measure is the emergency phone system. There are 56 emergency phones that anyone can use to reach the Emergency Communications Center. The phones are located throughout campus — 23 outdoors and 33 indoors — where telephones aren't readily available.
However, even though the Public Safety Office still may have the same schedule, some residents of the Jayhawker Towers say they do not feel particularly safe at night.
Close to half of the lights in the courtyard Towers have not been working all summer. This leaves the area that leads to the laundry room, vending machine and mail room pitch-dark.
"I don't go in the courtyard at night. It's really dark," said Sharonne Spencer, Compton, Calif., sophomore.
The lights next to Tower A parking and the lights between Towers A and B are the problem causers for students. Tower A is designated for graduate students and Tower B is designated for women.
Eric Grospitch, assistant director of student housing, said the lighting problem had been turned over to Facilities Operations last week.
Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operations, could not be reached for comment as to why the lights had not been fixed.
Some lights in the parking lot next to Tower A were not working for a short time. They were fixed when the problem was brought to the attention of the parking department, who handles the lights in all parking lots.
Donna Hultine of the Parking Department said the reasons why the lights were out could vary.
"Sometimes lines get cut because of construction, or there may be some other problem." she said.
Students with concerns about lighting around student housing can contact the department of student housing at 864-4560.
Rebels threaten more executions

The Associated Press
ZAMBOANGA, Philippines — The leader of a Philippine rebel group responded to an emotional appeal by the sister of one of the group's hostages with this hopeless message: Your brother is dead.
Speaking on Radio Mindanao Network on Monday, Ana Sobero made a public plea to the Abu Sayyaf to let her brother, Guillermo, speak to his family and relieve their suffering.
The station reported yesterday that it had received a call soon afterward from Abu Sayyaf spokesman, Abu Sabaya. In the call, Sabaya said he could not grant the request because Sobero is dead.
Speaking by satellite telephone to the Associated Press from Basilan, Sabaya on Monday threatened to execute more hostages, including another American, Martin Burnham of Wichita, if the government does not allow Sabava's choice of negotiators.
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and U.S. Rep. Todd Tiahrt gathered in a telephone conference yesterday to discuss the issue and demonstrate support for retrieving the hostages.
"What we're expressing is strong support from the United States for the Philinnes. It's
not giving any indication of a rescue," Brownback said. "Policy of the Philippine government is the same as America's. We don't pay ransom to terrorist groups. This puts the Burnams in a terrible position."
The Abu Sayyaf claims it is fighting for Islamic independence in the southern region of Mindanao. President Gloria Macapagal Arrovo dismisses them as simply criminals.
Military spokesman Brig. Gen. Edilberto Adan said a massive military campaign to rescue the hostages and wipe out the guerrillas was under way but was being complicated by two other rebel groups who are aiding the Abu Sayyaf..
Army Scout Rangers clashed with a group of Abu Sayyaf guerrillas yesterday afternoon in a remote village on Basilan, but there were no immediate reports of casualties, said Lt. Gen. Gregorio Camiling. Although there were no sightings of the hostages, he said the fighting raised spirits.
"This is a positive development," said Camiling. "We were looking for them and we made contact."
Senior staff reporter Rob Pazell contributed to these reports.

New York drivers to be cited for talking on cell phones
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The first state ban on motorists talking on hand-held cell phones has received final legislative approval, but it may be months before drivers are treated like outlaws in New York. If Gov. George Pataki signs the bill, as he has said he would do, the ban would begin Nov, 1, although drivers caught using hand-held cell phones will be issued only warnings during the first month. The measure, adopted 125-19 in the state Assembly on Monday night, was approved by the Republican-controlled Senate last week.

Women in AIDS-infested areas toying with trouble
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Women in nations hardest hit by AIDS often are afraid of refusing unprotected sex, a factor in the spread of the killer disease, experts at a U.N. AIDS conference said. Nearly half of the world's 36 million people infected with HIV are women — and the number is growing. Women now make up 60 percent of new infections. In sub-Saharan Africa, teenage girls are five times more likely to be infected than boys. In Haiti, which accounts for 67 percent of the Caribbean's HIV/AIDS cases, nongovernment groups handle what little sex education is offered in the schools while the Health Ministry seeks to draw up a nationwide approach, said Marie Deschamps, a member of the Haitian delegation.
Pope shares his message of unity in foreign lands
LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Pope John Paul II led a crowded outdoor Mass in western Ukraine on yesterday, picking a region long contested by Poles and Ukrainians, Catholics and Orthodox, Communists and nationalists as the place to make a plea for a spirit of forgiveness in Eastern Europe. "Let us feel ourselves gently nudged to recognize the infidelities to the Gospel of not a few Christians of both Polish and Ukrainian origin living in these parts. It is time to leave behind the sorrowful past," the pope said in his homily Tuesday, most of which was delivered in Polish. "May pardon, given and received, spread like a healingalm in every heart."
Ex-spy captured by FBI for money-laundering sting
LIMA, Peru (AP) — Known for years in U.S. diplomatic circles as "Mr. Fix-it" for his ability to make red tape disappear, Vladimiro Montesinos worked closely with U.S. anti-drug agents during his decade as Peru's spymaster. All the while, he was building a behind-the-scenes empire of graft that allegedly included $38 million stashed in a Florida bank. In the end, though, it was U.S. agents and those alleged ill-gotten gains that helped bring Montesinos to justice, a U.S. official said Monday. The official said an FBI money laundered investigation in Miami led to the ex-spy chief's capture in a crime-ridden Caracas, Venezuela, slum after an eight-month manhunt.

Fulbright fellows come to KU
University to play host to Institute for International Education summer program again
By Dawn North Kansan staff writer
"I if there's something you don't know, ask," was the advice last year's international Fulbright students wanted to pass on to this year's group.
This year's 24 students, who come from 20 different countries that range from Madagascar to Thailand, will begin a six-week language and orientation program at the University of Kansas Monday.
The Applied English Center will play host to the Institute for International Education Summer Program for Fulbright Fellows for the second year in a row. The graduate and doctoral students from abroad are doing
degree, non-degree or specialized studies in the United States.
Margaret Coffey, academic coordinator of the program, said the program was an excellent opportunity for the University.
Coffey said the institute's decision on a host site was a competitive process.
There are six U.S. institutions participating in the three-week orientation program. However, only Kansas was chosen to host the six-week program that teaches both the English courses and the orientation classes.
There are two tracks to the program, Coffey said - English proficiency and cultural orientation. She said incoming students usually have a strong English base but will receive help in research skills, oral presentations, grammar for communicating through writing and developing seminar skills.
The cultural orientation involves a general introduction to the United States, cross-cultural communication and American attitudes and beliefs that
have an impact on our educational system. Coffey said adaptation was not stressed, but rather, helping students to be comfortable while here was stressed as well as understanding why things happen as they do.
The long-distance travelers will start arriving June 30, making their way from the airport to Naismith Hall, where guides will help them get settled. Meetings will begin early Monday morning, and classes start Tuesday. Students also will get to experience a traditional American Fourth of July celebration complete with fireworks Wednesday.
Abou Bamba, a student from last year's program, will be a guest speaker at Tuesday's welcome reception. Bamba, from the Ivory Coast, will share tips on what to expect the first year of the program.
Coffey said that last year's group created an online discussion group to help students stay connected. They also created a tip sheet for future institute participants with advice such as,
"Don't be shy," and "Use the language lab whenever you can." She said it was difficult for the students because about half of them had to leave spouses and children behind to participate in the program.
After spending six weeks together in the program, relationships between students become strong, Coffey said. But, she said, it was then time to leave.
She said each student would head to a different U.S. university and would be alone again. The discussion group was a vital connection between students last year and between students and faculty. She is hoping the discussion group will have continued success with the 2001 group.
Tracy Cohn, program assistant, said that one of the most enjoyable things about the program was meeting the different students and seeing how they worked together.

"You walk in the entryway right now, and you're lost," he said.
Moving the stairwell will add space for Organizations & Leadership and Student Senate offices.
The new stairwell, which will be called the "Traditions Tower," will be a growing collection of KU plaques and memorabilia. A chunk of limestone inscribed with the Rock Chalk chant will sit on the bottom floor and an illuminated University seal in the ceiling.
One floor above, the Mt. Oread Bookshop will be separated from the Union Bookstore, which sells textbooks.
A performance area will be added to the Jaybow for bands along with the Summit Sub, which will be open later than other food shops.

Hemenway may get raise
By Brandy Straw Kansan staff writer
Chancellor Robert Hemenway's salary for next year will be considered today and tomorrow at the Board of Regents meeting.
The Regents will discuss the salaries for the leaders of the six regent universities: Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, the University of Kansas and Wichita State University, said Dick Carter, director of external relations for the Regents.
Carter said that the salaries usually increased.
Hemenway declined to comment about his salary,
which was $207,489 las year.
"I am happy to be a public servant of the people of Kansas no matter what the salary," he said.
The Regents also will discuss how to formulate the 2003 budget. Carter said the budget discussion would involve developing a formula to determine the amount of money universities would receive under the operating grant scenario. Universities would then take the money and apply it how they saw fit.
money more effectively.
Marlin Rein, KU director of budget and governmental affairs, said allocating money this way would allow the University to manage its
"It is a very positive thing," Rein said. "It secures equal treatment among the universities."
Rein said the operating grant scenario would allow the University to ask for a percentage increase in funding to the base amount instead of requesting increases on individual items, such as utilities or salaries, to be increased.
He said the meeting would determine the amount of money the University could request from Governor Bill Graves in September.

Film about Confederacy focuses on satire
By Ryan Dolan Special to the Kansan
Hollywood has tackled a lot of taboos during the past few years, but one issue remains virtually untouched.
Hollywood has failed to adequately address one particular taboo in a mainstream movies since the advent of sound: the enslavement of African people in the United States.
"It's the frustration of when you write things for Hollywood and they love them, but it's very difficult to get them produced," said Kevin Willmott, professor of film. "Mainly because slavery has got this weight on it."
Willmott speaks from experience. He and his part-time writing partner drafted a script about abolitionist John Brown, which director Oliver Stone bought but never produced.
That's why Willmott, a veteran
screenwriter, is in the middle of producing a "mockumentary" called C.S.A., which stands for Confederate States of America.
Co-producer, and KU alumnus, Brian Meade invited Willmott and producer Ric Cowan to show a test screen of C.S.A. last Sunday in Overland Park to conclude Meade's Halfway to Hollywood film festival.
About 500 people showed up for the screening, at the 250-seat Rio Theatre.
Because the film deals with the touchy subject of slavery, Willmott and Cowan wanted to get audience reaction before they went back to the editing room and got it ready for the film festival circuit.
"Everyone really seemed to love the film," Willmott said. "You're always looking for ways to deal with the history so that you can get the story out in some new kind of way to hopefully to
Cowan focused on the satire aspect of the film.
get around the so-called 'problem.'"
"And satire's a little bit more acceptable than preaching, and that's what we hope we hit with this."Cowan said.
Fashioned after the style of documentary filmmaker, Ken Burns, C.S.A. speculates about how the United States would be if the Confederate army had won the Civil War.
Although certain fictional events in the film strike some as humorous, Willmott claims that everything about slavery in the film is true.
A scene dealing with "drepdomania" is a prime example. Coined by a pre-Civil War doctor, drepdomania was the "medical condition" that caused slaves to run away from their masters.
"Everything I say about it is verbatim," Willmott said. "How
to prescribe and treat slaves to keep them from running away; it comes from the writings of Dr. Cartwright."
C. S.A. was filmed in and around Lawrence and Kansas City using an entirely volunteer crew and cast, many of whom have KU ties.
With such a provocative topic and promising screening, the filmmakers hope to be able to sell C.S.A. to PBS or a cable channel, or luck into a film distribution contract.
"The entire point of this is so that we can get that deal, so we can dance with those who brung us," Cowan said. "So we can turn to all these people who've helped us on two films, and say, 'What's your rate? Great. You're booked for the next four weeks.' That's the goal."

Study programs relocate
The new resource room will have rare European documents and artifacts.
By Mark Hansen Kansan staff writer
International outreach programs are relocating to recently vacated offices in Bailey Hall.
"We've already been expanding," said Matthew Koppe, graduate student and employee in the Latin American studies office. "It's a matter of arranging. It's definitely more enjoyable having more space as opposed to being cramped."
Lyne Tumlinson, outreach coordinator, said one of the artifacts available to teachers is a trunk containing Andean music instruments.
Four of the five international and area studies centers will relocate to Bailey, with a new outreach resource room that all area studies programs will share. The Center for East Asian Studies will move to Bailey in the coming year.
AARDN LINDBERG/KANSAN
Tumlinson hopes that record numbers will visit the resource room and outreach centers in the coming year.
The resource room will be stocked with books, maps and artifacts for K-12 teachers,business people and other scholars. Teachers may check out materials for use in the classroom.
The amount of adjunct faculty has made it difficult for the Latin American studies program to unite. Barbara Wiseman, accountant at the Latin
Thayne Cockrum, program assistant at the Center for Latin American Studies, unpacks and organizes documents that have been transferred from Lippincott Hall to room 320 Bailey.
Wiseman said people have come from throughout the region to use the center's resources.
Diane Fourny, director of the Center for European Studies, said the move to Bailey opened up new space for a small library and a conference room. The library has European Union documents.
American studies office, said the department had 114 adjunct professors and the move will help organize the program.

Wescoe Hall gets new carpet
Richard De George knows that packing up an office can be a monumental task.
By Karen Lucas Special to the Kansan
C
He recently boxed most of his large Wescoe Hall office, including 3,000 books. Even though a student helped him, De George said the packing cost him valuable time.
De George, professor of philosophy, isn't the only one on the third floor of Wescoe with moving boxes. Everyone in the departments of Spanish and Portuguese, English and philosophy have packed their belongings so
new carpet can be installed.
The movers and carpet layers began work last week and will continue into the second week of July. Their work is part of a three-year project to replace the carpet in all the offices and halls of Wescoe. Erin Spiridigliozzi, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the project will be done bit by bit because of money and time constraints.
Spiridiglozzi said the new carpeting would be more stain
Although most professors will return to their old offices once the new carpet is in,some will get new offices.
"It's a huge undertaking," Spiridigliozzi said. "The end result is we have a far better working environment."
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will pay nearly $47,000 to replace the carpet.
and dust resistant and stand up to wear and tear better.
There's no question that Jack Bricke, professor of philosophy, is looking forward to his new digs in Wescoe. "I'll have a window for the first time in 33 years," he said.

Gruber. Tate eliminated at Nationals
Matt Norton
Special to the Kansan
Andy Tate and Charlie Gruber ran with the nation's best track athletes last weekend at the U.S. National Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore., but spent most of the weekend playing catch-up.
Both battled their way through their respective preliminary heats but struggled in the finals and failed to qualify for the World Championships.
Gruber finished 11th in Saturday's 1500-meter run in 3 minutes, 46.4 seconds. Nike's Andy Downin, formerly of Georgetown University, won in 3:57.43 after taking the lead with a furious sprint in the final 100 meters.
Gruber said he found it difficult to accept his performance in Saturday's final.
"I don't know. It's like I get in these races (at nationals) and fear giving 110 percent a little bit,"
However, his performance Saturday was an eerie reminder of his trip to the Olympic Trials last
Gruber looked sharp in Thursday's preliminary heat. He took the lead early and finished third, qualifying for the final in 3:41.30. With a field full of youth like Virginia high school graduate Alan Webb and defending champion Gabe Jennings, who has battled injury and poor performances all season, Gruber was on the hunt for one of the three spots on the World Championship team.
Gruber said, "What if I do and it isn't enough? I'm struggling to get past that right now."
Gruber: Disap pointed with performance.
summer when he finished last.
"A theme is starting to form here at these things," Gruber said. "It's pretty disappointing, but I have some more meets this summer and I'll have to see what I can do."
Tate qualified for Sunday's 3000-meter steeplechase final, but he showed some of the effects of a long racing season in the cool, rainy weather Sunday, when he finished 13th in 8:44.85, well off his best of 8:38.01 set earlier in the season. Thomas Chorny of Nikke won in 8:22.16.
"I'm pleased with my performance," Tate said. "I had a chance with two laps to go to make a run for the top 10, but my legs just wouldn't respond. Coach Clark kept saying 'Top 10!' Top 10!' but I was too tired."
In Edmonton, Alberta Canada, javelin throwers Scott Russell and Andrea Bulat competed at the Canadian national
championships. Russell won with a Canadian national record of 80.17 meters, just more than
263 feet. He will return to Edmonton in August for the World Championships. Bulat finished second in the women's competition with a throw of 49.38 meters (162 feet). She will need a throw of 60.3 meters (197

HOROSCOPES
This week's birthday.
There's something about your home that isn't quite right, something that's been nagging at you in your sleep. This year you can fix it, or get a lot further in that direction. You can have the place you've always dreamed about. Or, you can start saving toward the down payment. It think it over and sketch out a plan. Once you've made a decision, the universe will help you achieve it.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
In a way, things are getting better. Somebody's coming to your rescue this time. Can you lean back in the passenger seat and let somebody else do the driving? Even together, you won't get far. On your own, you're going nowhere. Graciously accept the offer of assistance.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Concerns about finances fade as more work becomes available. Why so glum? You'd rather be playing, that's why. Schedule something extra-special for Friday night and Saturday. Let yourself get creative. Devise an inspirational prize.
You should soon see the light at the end of the tunnel. Only a couple more major frustrations, and you'll be there. Here are some clues: Measure three times and cut once, and pretend there's not enough to go around.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
You may be slowing down just a little. Don't plan anything huge for tonight or tomorrow. Quiet evenings at home will be much appreciated by you and the whole family. Nix on the 9-year-old's slumber party.
You could get a chance to increase your income. It could mean learning to play a new role, which doesn't sound bad. The tough part is that it's something you don't think you can do. Get past that, and you've got it made.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Check your work two or three times this morning before sending anything out. That's when you're most apt to make, and discover, mistakes. They could happen at any time, though. You might also think the boss is irritating, especially if he or she finds one of your errors first.
You can figure out how to make the operation profitable. Now, if you can only get the others to listen to your advice Start by talking them into giving you a raise. They'll also give you more respect.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Negotiations that began earlier in the week should start to bear fruit. Don't get anxious; it won't hurt to wait. Meanwhile, ask more questions. People will be in the mood to share their secrets over the next few days.
P
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your chances for success improve as the day goes on. Tomorrow will be a lot better. Remember that if you feel yourself getting tense. Whatever setbacks you suffer, real or imaginary, are only temporary. Don't make a joke at your mate's expense. Hurt feelings will last longer than this somewhat stressful condition.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The tricky part is coming next. This is when you convince an older person, possibly a parent or a boss, that you deserve more money. Don't be impatient. Wait until the time is right. The other person will let you know when the moment arrives. It may be tomorrow. Be ready.
P
蟹
LION
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Once you've crunched the numbers, you can relax. Schedule a date with friends, for motivation as well as amusement. You've been out of the loop for the past few days. You need to find out what's been happening.
Two people standing together.
It's time to pay the bills. Don't freak; all will be well. You will survive. You hate the paperwork part, but it's all just part of the process. You'll feel so much better once it's done. Partial payments will work on some things, by the way.

New Kirsten Dunst film will delight moviegoers
MOVIE REVIEW
15
By Ryan Dolan Special to the Kansan
Deciding to whom to dedicate your love is much like deciding which movie to see in the theater. Sometimes you have to ignore conventional wisdom and go with your gut instinct.
Despite previews that dismissed crazy/beautiful as another overly sentimental teen drama, my inner critic refused to believe that actor Kirsten Dunst would sign up for a straight-to-video film.
Score one for the inner critic, and, more important, for teens and adults searching for a delightful film that counteracts the summer's bang'em-up action flicks.
Dunst continues her string of strong performances as Nicole Oakley, the troubled teen. An affluent background, of course, does little to counteract her emotional problems and blatant alcoholism. Nearly everyone's resigned to her destructive tendencies, including her loving-but-distant father, Tom, played by actor Bruce Davison.
Carlos, portrayed by newcomer Jay Hernandez, exemplifies the well-rounded characters crafted by screenwriters Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi. Carlos is tough, caring and highly driven but prone to make immature mistakes such as hanging out at the beach and forgetting about an important meeting.
Her unlikely Romeo, Carlos Nunez, studies hard, plays football and hopes to lift his family out of the cycle of poverty by attending the U.S. Naval Academy.
Despite their families' objections, Carlos and Nicole fight to figure out how to make their relationship work.

ered a profound, hard-hitting film along the lines of Traffic and American Beauty if Disney executives hadn't stuck their noses where they didn't belong. Stockwell was forced to edit the movie from an R rating to a PG-13 rating. The cuts hurt the film's pacing in the last 45 minutes and softened its dramatic and emotional impact.

"Furious" blazes to top of charts
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Race cars made road kill out of talking animals at the box office.
The Fast and the Furious, a thriller about Los Angeles street racers, debuted as the weekend's No.1 film, grossing $41.6 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Eddie Murphy's Dr. Dolittle 2, the sequel about the veterinarian who speaks with furry creatures, took in $26.7 million and finished second.
Last weekend's top film, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, finished third with $20.2 million.
The Fast and the Furious benefited from an up-and-coming cast that included Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez.
Diesel plays the leader of a street-racing outfit whose gang is infiltrated by an undercover detective (Walker).
With a cast of white, Hispanic, black and Asian actors, the movie drew wide-ranging crowds. Half the audience was white, 24 percent was Hispanic, 11 percent was Asian-American and 10 percent was Black, according to distributor Universal.

Movie-goers younger than 25 made up three-fourths of the audience.

Disney chief steps down to start new company
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Walt Disney studio chief Peter Schneider is stepping down after just 17 months to form an independent Broadway theater production and investment company, which will be partially funded by Disney, the company said Wednesday.
No successor was named. Chairman Michael Eisner said in a statement that a trio of executives overseeing Disney's animation efforts and film distribution units would remain in their positions.
As studio chief, Schneider has presided over several box-office disappointments, including Pearl Harbor, which failed to meet Disney's high expectations, and Atlantis.
Grammer gets a raise, is televisions highest paid
The deal, which is still being finalized, would keep Grammer on the show as pompous Seattle psychologist Dr. Frasier Crane through 2004.
The paper said Grammer's salary also could increase through an advance on his share of revenues from syndication of the show, which begins its ninth season this fall.
The highest-paid performers on TV now are the cast members of NBC's "Friends." The six stars each take home a reported $20 million a year, including $750,000 per episode and shares of the show's syndication profits.
Jerry Seinfeld of "Seinfeld," Tim Allen of "Home Improvement" and Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt of "Mad About You" all earned more than $1 million per episode in the final seasons of those shows.
Grammer, 46, won the Emmy for best lead actor in a comedy in 1994, 1995 and 1998 for playing Crane. "Frasier" won the Emmy for best comedy five consecutive years, from 1994- 98.

Local filmmakers lan Duermeier, left, Lawrence sophomore; Sara Huslig, Lawrence freshman; and Thomas Hamm, Lawrence resident, worship the work of directors such as Kevin Smith and Tim Burton. Shoku Chudoko, the group's film company that means "food poisoning" in Japanese, took a big step when it decided to turn a year's worth of screenwriting into a full-lenth film titled Much Ado about Angels and Demons.
Silver screen dreams Local filmmakers deliver statements with their creations
STORY BY LUKE WETZEL
Sara Huslig's apartment is a film-lover's heaven. Her walls are lined with bigger-tnan-lire movie posters, like the Jack Nicholson one above that peers into the Shoku Chudoku production room.

In addition to learning how to manage lighting difficulties and edit hours of footage, the half dozen members of film company Shoku Chudoko have learned a thing or two about dealing with police.
At a filming session for a short gangster film set at the Campanile, the group aroused the suspicion of a nearby officer.
"Generally our policy is to alert the authorities of our presence beforehand," said Ian Duermier, Lawrence sophomore.
This time, however, that step was not taken.
"Ian and I were sitting there in our car with our trench coats and BB guns," said Thomas Hamm, Lawrence resident. "This other car pulls up, and we get out carrying briefcases. This cop immediately pulls up because it looked like the deal was about to go sour."
Hamm said he told the officer they had some BB guns and were planning to shoot some stuff.
"Shoot's not the right word when dealing with officers," Duermier said with a sigh. "You need to say 'film.'"
An interest in film and a mutual desire to sound more professional prompted Duermeyer and Hamm to form Shoku Chudoku, which means "food poisoning," in Japanese.
Duermeier and Hamm said Tim Burton and Kevin Smith were the directors who influenced them the most.
"It helps us organize," Duermeier said of the company. "It gives you something to go off of."
"Kevin Smith is who everybody likes to equate us with," Duermeier said of the director of Clerks and Mall Rats. "Our stuff is very dialogue-driven."
The company's first films were a series of short films exploring the group's fascination with video games and food. One of them, titled Carl, featured a protagonist who directly plugged himself into
four simultaneously operating video game machines.
The 90-minute movie, which Duermeier calls a "dark comedy," chronicles an effort by several different characters to retrieve Gabriel's horn, which allows people to enter heaven. The film has limited special effects, but by the end of the summer, the group will have something most 19-year-old filmmakers won't: a complete original score.
The group turned a year's worth of screenwriting and filming into a full-length film titled Much Ado about Angels and Demons.
Sara Huslig, a Lawrence freshman
who began writing music when she was 17, soon will complete her first score. Her apartment, lined with faces such as Jack Nicholson and the female robot from Metropolis, is a temple-to-soundtrack composer Danny Elfman. Elfman, who wrote the scores for movies such as Batman Returns and Good Will Hunting, is Huslig's biggest influence.
Huslig has assembled a 30-piece orchestra made up of local high school students to rehearse and record her score.
"I put up a sheet at Lawrence Free State and expected to get only 15 signatures, but when I came back there were
30 names on there," she said. "I set it up as a completely voluntary thing, so they're doing it for fun." Huslig said she plans to lead hearsails three to four times a week during the summer in the band room at Lawrence Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive, beginning tomorrow.
Shoku Chudoko members plan to save $9,000 for new equipment. They also want to set up a Web site and make a silent film to show at the Lawrence Arts Center, 200 W. Ninth St.
The group's funniest material is perhaps not in its scripted films but in a series of appearances it recorded on
"The song was by a band from Indianapolis called Johnny Socko," Osbern said. "It was all about how there are better things for cows than making them into glue and food. I just went through the Internet and got a whole montage of cows."
After studying film at the University of Kansas, Osbern plans to head to California to continue working in film.
The film, titled Evaporate, won first prize in last year's KAN film festival in the high school division. It was also picked up by the pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline, to show in antismoking clinics. Since then, Osbern's company has made short films with computer animation and filmed weddings and dance recitals for money. Osbern won another prize in the KAN festival this year, this time in the music video category.
Speaker's Corner, a television show on Channel 5. In their appearances on the show, the crew and friends have appeared backed by an angry mob, with limbs on fire, faces bloodied and beaten and speaking behind plants they held up in front of the camera.
"I'm going to do this as long as I still like it," he said. "This is just another avenue through which I can be creative."
"I interviewed four people who basically can't leave their apartments because of smoking." Osbern said. "They're hooked up to oxygen machines. One of them died after I made the movie, so I dedicated it to her."
The members of Shoku Chudoko are not the Lawrence filmmakers. Jeremy Osbern, Lawrence sophomore, made a name for himself with an award-winning documentary about smoking.
