Tours held to kick off Hawk Week activities
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
New students meet, learn way around campus in first week
Tours of Watson and Anschutz libraries and Watkins Health Center are going on today as part of Hawk Week 2001.
ISSUE 1 VOLUME 112
The Office of New Student Orientation, in conjunction with campus organizations and schools, is sponsoring Hawk Week 2001, which started yesterday and runs through Tuesday, Aug. 28. Organizers have planned daytime and evening activities for incoming freshmen and transfer students.
Events are divided into two parts
- Hawk Days and Hawk Nights.
"The purpose is to help new students get acclimated to the campus and introduce them to life on the hill," said Kristin Trendel, interim director of the office. "It's to help with the transition to campus."
"Hawk Days is more designed to help students navigate the University." Trendel said.
The Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and Watson Library will have open houses, tours or information sessions.
Trendel said Hawk Nights emphasized social activities.
The HAWK Link program will also sponsor events as part of Hawk Week. HAWK Link is geared toward to minority students and is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Ailts:
Teresa Lynn Clounch, associate director for the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said "This is an opportunity to get information to the campus community about the program. It lets students know about organizations and services on campus."
THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Jamie Jones, St. Louis senior and a HAWK Link link, said as a freshman she didn't know about programs such as HAWK Link.
She said she got involved with HAWK Link and Hawk Week to help new students adjust to life at KU.
"This helps them feel comfortable on campus," she said.
Trendel said a Hawk Week Committee comprised of representatives from several organizations organized the events.
in the events
"It's certainly a collaborative effort with help and support of other offices," she said.
Trendel said she hoped the events would help students feel welcome in their new home.
"I hope they get a feel for what the University is and get a feel for the layout of the campus;" she said. "And that they get an idea of the many resources to help students."

Embezzlement investigated
Irregularities uncoveredin KUAC internal audit concerning vouchers
By Laurie Harrison Kansan staff writer
Police are investigating a possible embezzlement of University money after irregularities were discovered during a routine internal audit.
The University of Kansas Athletic
Corporation filed a police report on Aug.
10, with the KU Public Safety Office.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey said police are investigating the irregularities as theft and the investigation "may take a while" since officers are combing through two years worth of documents.
The amount stolen has not been determined, Bailey said. The theft concerned falsified entertainment vouchers made between Aug. 1999 and Aug. 2001.
Between Aug. 15, 1992 and

suspect. Allen Bohl, athletics director, had no comment and referred inquiries to University Relations.
Susan Wachter, KUAC's chief financial officer, and Doug Vance, assistant athletics director in charge of media relations, said that they would cooperate with the investigation but would not comment on the matter.
KUAC is the same as the Athletics Department but is a non profit organization, said Susan Wachter, chief financial officer of KUAC. Its $23 million dollar budget is partially funded by student fees, ticket sales and contributions.

As campus creeps downhill, Oread neighborhood calls foul and fights to preserve history
BY LAURIE SISK
In an ongoing tug of war with the University of Kansas, the Oread Neighborhood Association has taken its concerns to the Lawrence City Commission
In February, the University purchased seven vacant houses in the 1300 block of Ohio Street in the Oread neighborhood and planned to demolish three of those to make room to build two new scholarship halls.
University
to make room to usher in new students
On July 24, the ONA and officials from the University met to set up dialogue between the University, the city and neighborhood organizations.
Although the ONA does not dispute the need for scholarship halls, members are concerned that construction of multilevel buildings in their neighborhood would present parking, storm water drainage and noise problems. In addition, members of ONA contend constructing the buildings would seriously alter the "fabric" of their neighborhood and harm the historical nature of the area.
That's a fabric that Bill Mitchell, resident of a west campus neighborhood, said was "already considerably moth-eaten, and the moths must somehow be controlled." The 1997 Campus Plan
Brian Pedrotti discusses the possibility of overlay zoning around the perimeter of the KU campus during his graduate-level project presentation which focused on the University encroachment issue.

in April, university architect Warren Corman told the ONA the plan was not a legal document and that it could be ignored if it conflicted with the University's mission.

No injuries in accidental morning blaze
$5,000 in damages result from stove fire in the Towers, officials say
By Laurie Harrison Kansan staff writer
An early morning fire in Tower A of Jayhawker Towers has been ruled an accident, the KU Public Safety Office said.
No one was hurt in the blaze that caused the evacuation of Tower A around 8 a.m. Sunday, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
The fire originated on the stove in room 211A and caused an estimated $5,000
in damages, Bailey said.
Someone called 911 at 7:58 a.m., and Lawrence firefighters had the fire under control by 8:42 a.m., Bailey said.
The residents of 211A could not be reached for comment.
John Emenyu, Kabera-maido-Soipu, Uganda, graduate student, lives down the hall from 211A.
Emenyu has lived in the towers a year and thought it was just another false alarm until a woman burst in his room and said that the fire was real.
Emenyu said the second floor hallway was full of smoke that smelled like burning plastic.

KU professor sworn in
Roscoe C. Howard Jr., a University of Kansas law professor, will be sworn in as the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia today.
President George Bush nominated Howard for the job. Howard, who has been with the KU law school since 1994, will seek formal confirmation for the position later this fall from the U.S. Senate.
KU Law School dean Steven McAllister said the appointment reflects well on the University.
"It's a great honor to have someone chosen by the president for that position." McAllister said.
He also said Howard would be a good fit for the position.
"He has a wealth of prosecutor experience." McAlister said.
From 1984 to 1990 Howard worked as a federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia and Virginia. During this time Howard served on an independent counsel investigation of fraud in the Reagan administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development. The investigation led to several convictions.
With 350 lawyers, the U.S. attorney office in the District of Columbia is the largest in the country.

Deaf program moves
The University of Kansas' deaf education program has changed locations. The program's faculty left the School of Allied Health at the KU Medical Center campus in Kansas City, Kan., for the School of Education on KU's campus.
For nearly 50 years, the program had been administered by the allied health faculty, while the School of Education had granted degrees in deaf education. Tom Skrtic, KU chair of special education, said the change helps the program because now the faculty and program will be in the same place.
"It was obvious the program needed to be in education." Skrtic said.
He said the program will now be reviewed and some revisions in the program will be made. The revisions will bring the program up to date on deaf education.

Students risk fines for parking spots
By Brandy Straw Kansan staff writer
Every semester, many students risk paying fines to the Parking Department for parking in the wrong zone or without a permit.
"Some people take the chance they are not going to get a ticket," said Donna Hultine, assistant director for the parking department.
Heather Krasovec, Garden City senior, said she took chances parking in blue or red lots when school was not in session and received $20 tickets for violating the posted signs.
Hultine said there was no free parking on campus during restricted hours, which are posted on the parking signs. Instead, she said students must have a yellow permit and park in the designated yellow parking lots or pay to park at a meter.
Yellow permits cost $85 annually or $50 for one semester.
The department oversells parking permits,
She said the signs tell students the restricted hours and what permit is required to park in each lot. The signs also indicate tow-away zones.
Hultine said cars could be towed if they are parked in fire lanes, by fire hydrants or in handicapped zones. Cars also could be towed if they have three tickets more than 10 business days old.
so having a permit does not guarantee a parking space, Hultine said.
She said students whose cars have been towed have to pay the $50 cost.
Rita Jordan, office specialist for the parking department, said parking officers try to call car owners before towing a vehicle but could call only if the vehicle is registered with the department.
Hultine said it is important to register all vehicles that might be driven to campus. If a permit is not displayed, the department identifies the vehicle by its license plate and mails
the ticket to whomever has registered the car.
Jordan said the department has about 15 student officers and four full-time officers. Officers continuously check for violators during their shifts and usually give out more tickets when they are fully staffed and when there are not many events on campus.
She said officers give out warnings during the first week of each semester.
Hultine said the officers should use judgment in the field. She said people who don't have a record of tickets or warnings usually get a warning for first offenses.
Hultine said general tickets for parking without a permit or in a wrong zone cost $20. Meter tickets cost $5 every hour or 20 minutes depending on the meter's time limit at the meter. The meter tickets can add up because the cars can be ticketed repeatedly, Hultine said.
She said the department collected $547,274 in parking fines last year.

City revamps bus routes, adds 12 to fleet
Added bus stops extra seating give riders more options for transportation
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Lawrence Transit System underwent route changes this summer, and more changes will come as the city welcomes 12 new buses.
On Aug. 6, five of the eight routes offered by the public transportation system were changed to feature better service to Cottonwood Incorporated, major retailers along 31st and Iowa streets, Haskell Indian Nations University and early morning pick-ups in North Lawrence.
"Mainly we made the changes from public input," said Karen
Rexroad, public transit administrator. Input came from the public forums since the bus service began.
The major changes were to routes three, four, five, seven and eight. The other routes were working fine, Rexroad said.
Maps of the new bus routes are available at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.; City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets; Union Pacific Visitors Center, 402 N. Second St.; and community recreation centers.
New buses will accompany these route changes.
Rexroad said the city was getting 12 new El Dorado buses to replace the 12 leased buses the city uses now. The city originally leased the buses to get the program up and running as soon as possible.
"It takes 18 months or more to
The new buses cost the city $205,975 each. They are 30-foot buses, making them 10 feet shorter than the buses KU on Wheels uses, Rexroad said. The buses have two seating options. They seat either 25 passengers or 19 passengers and two wheelchairs. The leased buses seat 16.
build a bus," Rexroad said.
Rexroad said she was unsure if the new buses and route changes would affect the number of people who use the transit system, especially because KU on Wheels would be resuming service as the changes were implemented.
Rexroad said she assumed there would be more riders, and after the routes changed, the number of people riding the bus had increased.
The new buses will also require new driver training, which will be provided by MV
Bus driver Daniel Simmons was anticipating the new buses
Transportation.
"They've been promising them for a long time, but we haven't seen them yet," Simmons said.
The new buses will be used on route eight for sure, Rexroad suid.
"That's the one that goes through KU, and we're' standing room only'on that route," she said.
The buses, coming from Chino, Calif., are expected to last 10 years. Two will arrive this month, Rexroad said. The rest are expected to arrive in October or November.

Murder fails to halt Costa Rican study abroad
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
The study abroad program in Costa Rica is continuing with changes this fall after the May 13 murder of Shannon Martin, a 23-year-old student.
The University of Kansas' Office of Study Abroad conducted a two-month review of safety, which included two visits to Costa Rica, interviewing students, staff, host families and government officials, said Diana Carlin, dean of graduate school and international programs.
Safety concerns stemmed from the murder of Martin, a study abroad student. Martin was on a research trip in Golfito, Costa Rica, the site of one of two study abroad programs in the country. She had participated in study abroad program on environmental studies in Golfito and lived with a host family the year before.
Lesli May, Topeka senior, said she was considering studying abroad in Europe or Costa Rica. Martin's murder worried her, though, she said.
"It makes me a little leery." May said. "But if I really wanted to go, I probably would still go."
May said she felt better that the University evaluated the program in Costa Rica.
"It makes me feel better knowing my school has gone down there to make sure students are safe and that it is taking precautions," she said. "I think wherever you go to study abroad you should be cautious."
The decision to send students to Golfito and San Jose, the sites of study abroad programs in Costa Rica, was made within three days, Carlin said. She said she consulted with people in the country, got information from the embassy and looked at security measures.
"We felt fairly conformable and were doing what we could to
ensure a safe environment," Carlin said.
This summer 14 students traveled to Golfito, and this fall 18 went.
Charles Stansifer, professor of history, was sent with the summer study abroad students for two weeks in June to ensure someone was there who knew the area. Carlin said.
Carlin said students go through an orientation before they leave and when they arrive in Costa Rica. Host families also participate to emphasize the importance of safety. The orientation includes students receiving materials about safety and health information in the country and an orientation by U.S. embassy staff.
Carlin said cultural issues were important for students studying abroad to understand. Expectations differ in other countries from the United States, she said
"We do a very good job of making students aware of cultural
issues," Carlin said. "We hadn't had major problems, but students need to understand the rest of the world doesn't behave like the U.S."
After Martin's murder, Carlin said she sent out a letter to summer and fall study abroad students about what had happened in Costa Rica. She said only one or two students opted not to go.
Carlin said she had been to Costa Rica by herself before, but Martin's murder still was a surprise.
pr
"I consider it to be a safe place," she said. "I felt very safe. This was a shock.
Martin's case is still being investigated by Costa Rican and U.S. authorities.
"We've been very open," Carlin said. "We have spent a lot of time looking at what we're doing. This could happen anywhere in the world."

Retake policy to benefit students in the spring
Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas' new course retake policy approved this summer will not benefit students until the spring 2002 semester because the policy is not retroactive.
Administrators are concerned that students who followed the issue last spring and expected implementation may have enrolled this semester to retake a course under the new provision.
"If that's what they're thinking, it's not going to work," said Richard Morrell, University registrar.
A decision by the Office of the Provost applies the new retake policy to only those classes taken this semester and thereafter. Students who planned to retake a course for a better grade this semester should consult with an academic adviser about dropping the course, Morrell said.
The new policy allows students who earn a D or F to take that course again to improve their grade. Only the grade from the course that was retaken will be figured into a student's grade point average.
"It's definitely going to help GPAs, and that was its design." Morrell said. "The downside for the students is that it's a forgive-but-not-forget policy."
The first course grade will appear alongside the retake grade on University transcripts.
A student must meet several requirements for the new policy to apply. A student must be an undergraduate or a transfer student who came to KU with less than 60 hours. Also, the original course must have been taken within the first 60 KU credit hours, or within the first semester at the University for transfers.
University approval is not required to retake a course.
but students must register with the dean of the college from which they are retaking the course by the sixth week of the semester.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, interim dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that college deans, in most cases, would then forward the request to the registrar's office for record keeping purposes.
"The only time we wouldn't approve it is if the student earned the D or F through academic misconduct," McCluskey-Fawcett said. "That's built into the wording of the policy."
In addition to the disqualifying cheaters, other restrictions were put into place. The policy can be invoked for no more than five classes; the same course can be retaken only once; the course must be retaken at KU; and this policy cannot be applied to any course in which a student has already passed a prerequisite course.
An older retake policy still applies to students wanting to retake a course in which they received an A, B or C grade. These students must have a dean and department chairperson's approval, and then the two grades will be averaged together to calculate the student's GPA.
The new retake policy met substantial opposition in the University Senate, where it passed by a 20-vote margin in May. Following the chancellor's approval, Tim Shaftel, an opposition leader and business professor, said there was no recourse available to its opponents.
"My hope is the value of the program is better than I thought it would be, and the disadvantages less disadvantageous," Shattel said.

The Hawk Shop, a new convenience store in the Kansas Union, is open and ready for business.
The last phase of the Union renovations began late last spring, when the Information Center was moved to begin construction of the Hawk Shop. The Hawk Shop is on the fourth floor and is open 23-hours a day, said Mike Reid, KU Bookstore director.
Reid said the Hawk Shop would supply more items than the Information Center, such as pens, pencils, cameras, batteries and blue books.
He said he hoped students would be able to get supplies they needed when the bookstores were closed.
During the summer, a 24-hour computer lab was also set up on the fourth floor of the Union. Pat Beard, Building Services Director, said students wanting to use the computer lab when the Union was closed would need their KUID to get into the building. He said students would scan their KUID
and enter through the convenience store.
Beard said the store would benefit students.
"Now students can have a place in the late hours to have access to computers, coffee, sandwiches and anything you can think of," he said.
Beard said the food court had also been remodeled. The Market replaced the Hawk's Nest and will have a Burger
King; the Carvery; cafeteria food; Mill Valley, which will serve salads; and Peppersticks, which will alternate between Mexican and Asian foods.
Not everyone is pleased with the renovations, however. Because of construction of a new staircase, the Jaybowl will remain closed throughout the school year.

South African activist, editor remembered
Associated Press Writer
LONDON — Donald Woods, a veteran South African newspaper editor and apartheid opponent whose activism was chroniced in the movie "Cry Freedom," died yesterday following a long battle with cancer. He was 67.
Woods was the founder and editor of the Daily Dispatch newspaper in South Africa. His opposition to apartheid angered authorities and eventually forced him into exile.
He was a close friend of Steve Biko, a leader of South
Africa's Black Consciousness movement who died in detention after being tortured by apartheid-era security police. Their relationship was presented in the 1987 Richard Attenborough film "Cry Freedom."
Daily Dispatch staff and family members said Woods died yesterday at the Royal Marsden hospital in Sutton, just south of London.
Woods edited the Daily Dispatch from 1965 to 1977, when he was gagged by the government and placed under effective house arrest. He
escaped in 1978 by disguising himself as a priest and slipping past police guarding his home.
Woods fled to Britain where he waged a campaign for South African democracy through lecture tours and news articles.
South Africa's High Commissioner in London, Cheryl Carolus, described Woods yesterday as a "truly great son of South Africa."
In 1978, Woods became the first private citizen invited to address the U.N. Security Council. He also served as a consultant on South Africa to
the European Union and the Commonwealth of Britain and its former colonies.
Woods was honored last year by Queen Elizabeth II for his human rights work.
Woods is survived by his wife of 59 years, Wendy, 60, three sons, two daughters and two granddaughters.
A funeral service is to be held in central London at an as-yet undetermined date, followed by a private cremation. The family will escort Woods' ashes back to his home in East London, South Africa, for burial.
Pharmacist worries one incident casts doubts on profession
Felony at pharmacy shouldn't spook KU
By Laurie Harrison
Kansan staff writer
Despite the much-publicized story of a Kansas City pharmacist charged with diluting life-saving drugs, students shouldn't be worried about similar problems at Watkins Memorial Health Center, University of Kansas officials said last week
The case of the Kansas City, Mo., pharmacist charged with
ing and adulteration of a drug is unusual, said Cathy Thrasher, chief pharmacist at Watkins.
"I it's aberrant behavior. I I'm appalled by it." Thrasher sai d, adding that she had never heard of this happening during her 26 years of practicing pharmacy.
Jack Fincham, dean of the pharmacy school, said the possibility of chemotheraphy drugs being diluted was a tragedy. Such an action not only could have shortened the life of critically ill patients, but also damages the reputation of the pharmacy profession, he said.

"It just decreases and diminishes the trust factor that is so important for health professionals to have." Fincham said.

Thrasher said even though Watkins did not prescribe chemotherapy drugs, Watkins personnel checked each prescription for accurate dosage, labeling and price before students received it.
On Tuesday, federal prosecutors charged the pharmacist, Robert R. Courtney, with a felony for diluting chemotherapy drugs. Courtney graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 1975.

New park lets dogs run leash-free
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Lawrence dogs and their owners have a new place to frolic without leash restrictions for the pets.
Mutt Run, Lawrence's offleash park, opened Aug. 4 near the dam at Clinton Lake.
The park is designed to let dogs run free, something they aren't normally able to do because of city leash laws.
"People wanted an area where people can run their dogs and we've tried to answer that," said Fred DeVictor, director of parks and recreation.
DeVictor said members of Lawrence Dogs and Owners Green Space approached the city about a year ago to build the offleash park.
ine city spent about $15,000 building the park at 1330 E. 901 Road, just below the dam at Clinton Lake.
The 30-acre park is mostly an open field, DeVictor said. The Army Corps of Engineers allotted another 30 acres north of the park for dog use, as well.
To make the park user-friendly, the city included trails, shade trees, restrooms for owners and tools for owners to clean up after their pets.
"We have regulations," DeVictor said. "One of the things we ask people is to pick up after their
pets, and we have gloves and stuff for that."
Dave Ramos, Olathe senior, has taken his Dalmatian, Iris, to the park several times.
He said Mutt Run provided an ideal opportunity for the two to play together. He said he usually took a Frisbee to the park for Iris to chase.
"She's getting good at some Frisbee tricks now." Ramos said.
But Ramos said one thing the park was missing was a pond for the dogs to swim in.
Mutt Run isn't often crowded
when he visits,he saidpossibly because people don't know the park is open.
Mary Boatright, Topeka junior, was unaware of Mutt Run's opening. She said if she had the time, she would take her dog to the park to run around.
Boatright lives in an apartment, so any time she takes her dog outside she has to have it on a leash, she said.
Mutt Run also may not be crowded because of its far-away location.
"It would have been more convenient if it was in town," Boatright said.
A friend told Holli Wilson, a nondegree-seeking student from Lenexa, that Mutt Run was open, but she only knew that it was outside of town - and not its exact location. Wilson has plans to visit the park with her dog now that she knows where to go.
But Ramos doesn't mind the drive to Clinton Lake if it means his dog can run leash-free.

KU geology travels to Colorado
CONTRIBUTED

Kansan staff writer
CONTRIBUTED ART
KU geology students work at a dig in Cañon City, Colo., during a six-week field camp. Participants studied rock sequences and the shape of the landscape.
While most KU students enrolled in summer classes spent their days in the sweltering humidity of Lawrence, geology students worked in the dry, desert heat of Cañon City, Colo.
This summer, seven geology students spent six weeks at a field camp to fulfill the requirements of Geology 560 and 561, Introduction to Field Geology and Field Geology. These are the only courses in the KU geology department required for a major that are offered exclusively in the summer and in a different state, said Roger Kaesler, professor of geology.
"The idea of the camp is to give the students examples of the way rocks are exposed, displayed and behave in the field," said Kaesler, one of two professors who lead the annual trip. "These are things you can't do in the lab."
While in the field, students map rocks, examine and describe rock sequences, and look at the shape of the landscape, said Doug Walker, professor of geology. The summer cumulates in a two-week project where each student maps, diagrams and creates a detailed report of a specific area.
Students do their work on laptop computers awarded by
the student technology fund.
Kyle Spikes, Hugoton graduate student in geology, has spent the last two summers at the camp. He said the field experience contrasted distinctly with sitting in a classroom and looking at a textbook.
"Once you get to places where there are real rocks, the experience multiplies exponentially," he said. "It is the best tool
you can use because it is real, not a fabricated model."
The KU geology department owns the Cañon City facility, complete with permanent cabins. But the program still requires heavy alumni support. The department also offers scholarships to offset the cost.
The department offers a twoweek course at the end of the summer for any student who has
completed an introductory geology course. Students travel in vans to Salt Lake City and back, doing geologic exercises along the way.
the way.
"The students go into the field and see if it translates into a field experience that they like," Walker said.

Although this is the first semester that in-state students have to meet minimum standards to enter the University of Kansas, standardized test scores can affect students beyond acceptance into KU.
In 1996, the Kansas Board of Regents set requirements for students entering state schools, effective for incoming students for the first time this fall. One of the three criteria is a minimum ACT score of 21.A perfect score is 36.
"The ACT is not inherently tied to admission," said Admissions Counselor David Burge. "But it opens doors for you."
ACT scores also determine what math and English classes freshman students are eligible to enter, according to the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center.
Additionally, the ACT is one of five factors considered by the Office of Admissions and Scholarships for the awarding of scholarships, Burge said.
"There is no formula that we plug people into," Burge said. "But it's safe to assume that the higher the score, the more competitive you will be for a scholarship."
Burge said the average ACT score for students receiving scholarships from KU is 28.
"We were encouraged to take it at my high school," she said.
Hannah Davoren, Tonganoxie sophomore, said she took the ACT four times during high school, each time in an attempt to increase her previous score.
Kansas high school seniors averaged a score of 21.6 on the ACT for the third year in a row, above the national average of 21.0, despite an increase in the number of students taking the test.
This year, 78 percent of Kansas high school seniors took the ACT, as did 38 percent of seniors nationally.
The percentage of Kansas students taking the test has increased each year since the Board of Regents set the new standards for state school admission in 1996.
Besides a qualifying ACT score, students can also have either a 2.0 grade point average or graduate in the top third of their high school class to meet the new admission requirements.

Hemenway recovers
menway recovers from Aug.8 prostate surgery
Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
A tradition came to an end yesterday as residence hall students moved into their rooms without the help of Chancellor Robert Hemenway. But he had a good excuse.
"I can't lift anything over 5 pounds," he said.
That order came from physicians at the University of Kansas
Medical Center, after Hemenway's Aug. 8 surgery to remove a tumor in his prostate. He is now recuperating at home and is upbeat about his condition.

"I've too much to do in the next five to 10 years." Heemenway said. Foremost on his agenda this year is the University's state funding situation, which includes fighting to maintain funding in the life sciences and other research areas.
Research saves lives as Hemenway has discovered through his own experience. Through research, doctors found success rates for beating cancer were much higher with early detection and treatment. This keeps many people going in for annual physicals, which is how Hemenway's tumor was discovered.

Lawrence history honored at Civil War house dedication
Local residents commended for abolitionist spirit
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
U. S. Rep. Dennis Moore and former Kansas City, Mo., mayor Emanuel Cleaver II helped dedicate the John Speer farmstead site and the Murphy-Bromelsick house yesterday at Hobbs Park.
JAMIE ROSE

JAMIE ROPER/KANSAN
Rev. Emanuel Cleaver addresses a crowd of 300 during the dedication of the John Speer homestead. Speer published the first newspaper in the Kansas Territory solidly opposed to slavery.
Pfc. Sammie Lee Ford is among the last of the Buffalo Soldiers. The African-American cavalry soldiers formed after the Civil War in the late 1860's and were so named by Native Americans as a moniker of respect. Six Buffalo Soldiers attended the dedication of the John Speer farmstead site.
"This evening we're here to honor, preserve and celebrate Lawrence's history because truly, the history of Lawrence is the history of our state and the history of our nation." Moore said to the crowd gathered at the corner of 10th and Delaware streets.
Lawrence played an integral role in Civil War history. Whether Kansas would become a free or slave state held huge implications for the territories west of Kansas, territories that still had to determine whether they would become states that would allow slavery. Lawrence was often a literal and figurative battleground between the two factions on both sides of the issue.
tions of books. John Speer was an abolitionist and newspaper publisher in Lawrence during the latter part of the 1800s. Two of his sons were killed in the infamous sack of Lawrence by Quantrill's Raiders.
His response was to help rebuild the town.
The Murphy-Bromelsick house, which was relocated to the memorial site last August, was built during the reconstruction of Lawrence in the years following the Quantrill raid.
Jim McCrary, co-director of the project to save and restore the house, said the house symbolized the spirit of the working-class people who helped rebuild the city, as well as the people who live in the community now.
He said the house was in fairly bad shape when restoration began. The mortar holding the brick structure together was crumbling and had to be almost completely replaced.
Workers had to scrape through nine inches of double-layer brick walls and a 16 to 18 inch stone wall foundation to take out the old mortar and replace it.
McCrary said he hoped the house
would bring attention to a part of the city that hasn't receive the recognition it deserved.
"It has a unique story and style," he said. "All the fancy stuff gets saved, but not those things that have to do with the working class. This is part of the neighborhood, and we wanted to draw people to East Lawrence."
For others, including Cleaver, the sites also had personal significance.
"I am the great, great, great-grandson of Frank Harrison Cleaver, a slave who was owned by Henry Cleaver of Cherokee County, Texas,"Cleaver said.
"Many of you are the descendants of slave owners. But now we are brothers and sisters in a nation that has been
greatly blessed. While we did not come over on the same ship, today we are on the same boat."

Pi Beta Phi sorority members practice fall recruitment songs Sunday morning outside their house on West 15th Street.
Recruitment process gets a makeover
By Julie Carter Kansan staff writer
Sorority fall formal recruitment has undergone changes in recent years.
recent years.
In the fall of 2000, the formal name changed from rush to recruitment, and all participants were required to wear the same Panhellenic T-shirts with the recruitment logo.
The dates have been pushed back to Aug. 25, 26 and Sept. 1, 2 and 3. In previous years, recruitment began the day residence halls opened. The change will give prospective sorority members a full week in Lawrence before recruitment begins.
Women have until Aug. 22 to decide if they want to participate in a sorority. After that, a late fee of $30 must be paid in addition to the $100 registration fee.
Women from the 13 sororities on campus voted to change the policy, said Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director for Greek programs.
"We wanted the incoming women to be able to attend Hawk Week activities so they can feel like part of the University." Karnes said.
This year, all of the recruitment events will take place on the weekends, with bid day on Sept. 3.
But not everyone is happy about the changes this year.
"Sororities made you go to Hawk Week events," said Molly Mueller, Overland Park senior and president of Gamma Phi
Beta. "It was required to go during recruitment. I don't think as many people will go if they don't have to."
Mueller said living in Lawrence for a week can lead to dirty rushing. Mueller referred to "dirty rushing" as the process of unofficially recruiting women before the official recruitment process begins.

Program sees success in minority retention
By Dawn North Kansan staff writer
The second official year of HAWK Link is off and running. The program, sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, is a University-wide effort to increase the retention rate of freshman minority students.
Students included under this umbrella are African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans and Native Americans. However, anyone who would like to participate is welcome, said Robert Page, OMA director.
Page said that coming to a university could be intimidating, and it was important to have someone there to support the students.
Season Titus,HAWK Link student coordinator,has liked what she has seen happening within the program.
"Results thus far have been impressive." Titus said.
Last year 85 students were involved in the program, and this year more than 71 of them are returning, which gives HAWK Link an 84 percent retention rate. That number exceeds the total University retention rate of 80 percent and the average rate for minority students, which is 68 percent.
The University's retention committee has been so impressed with the program that it is considering expanding it, Titus said.
The program is designed to help students academically by connecting them with tutors, faculty mentors, financial aid advisors and academic advisors. Titus said.
She said the social aspect was also important. Making friends is another factor in a student's decision to return to college, she said.
"Results thus far have been impressive."
Season Titus
HAWK Link student coordinator
Renee Gregory, OMA program assistant and HAWK Link coordinator, said the personal connection made a big difference.
"The whole essence of how HAWK Link works is having that one primary contact that will help you navigate the system," she said.
Students can call the HAWK Link office and ask for tutoring or other help, Gregory said. Someone there can tell them who to call or walk them to the correct office personally.
Five student guides add a new dimension to the program. The guides have been assigned to 20 incoming freshmen who have expressed interest in the program.
Anissa Vitale, Shawnee senior, became a guide for the program because she said she saw a lack of minorities on campus and wanted to improve their numbers.
Guides will keep in contact through e-mail, attend orientation sessions, answer questions and mentor the new students.
Student guide Jamie Jones, St. Louis junior, met Philip Conway, one of her group members, at orientation. Conway, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said he hoped HAWK Link would help him find his niche at KU.

Women's resource center develops men's education program
Forum will include masculinity, roles sexual assault
By Brandy Straw Kansan staff writer
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center isn't just for women.
The center is creating a new men's education program. The program will teach men how to support women in their fight against violence, show men what they can do to help diminish violence, and help them understand their masculinity and become role models to young men, said Marshall Jackson, associate director of the Student Development Center.
"If we can educate our men about violence against women, what they can do to prevent it and how to be an advocate for women in this arena, it's a win-win situation," said Jackson, who serves on the men's education program committee.
He said the program would define men's roles in society and help dispel myths about how men should behave.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director for the women's resource center, said the program would be a forum for men to discuss issues such as gender roles, defining
masculinity, sexual assault and expectations men have in dating situations.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 9A
"I think more and more campuses are feeling the need to shift the focus and look to men to create solutions to the problems," Rose-Mockry said.
She said it was important for men to begin talking about issues such as taking "no" for an answer and stalking, because men were stalked too.
According to the Florida International University Web site, between 26.6 percent and 35.2 percent of female students are stalked, and between 14.7 percent and 18.4 percent of male students are stalked. Because of these statistics and others, the resource center has decided to help students take action against stalkers.
Laura Montgomery, sexual assault prevention and education program coordinator for the center, said the center had developed stalking assistance kits designed to help individuals document their stalker's behavior.
The kit, which includes information on assistance programs and campus resources, was designed to help victims get the documentation necessary for filing a report with police, Montgomerysaid.
Rose-Mockyr said some of the warning signs of stalking
"If we can educate our men about violence against women, what they do to prevent it and how to be an advocate for women in this arena. it's a win-win situation."

"I think stalking is terrifying, dangerous, intrusive and disturbing," Rose-Mockery said. "It may have a serious impact on what the student came here to do."
included the victim repeatedly receiving unwanted gifts, phone calls, or visitors in class or at the workplace.
She said she encouraged students who thought they were being stalked to talk to someone and get a kit. The kits are free, confidential and available at several locations on campus.

Jon Davis worked at a local golf course during his freshman year at the University of Kansas.
She said students also learned to manage their time. A job forces students to organize their time between work and studying.

who answer phones, file or enter data. Students can work maintenance for Facilities Operations or make deliveries for Printing Services as well.
Davis worked his way up to resident assistant in Ellsworth Hall and spent this summer as a resident assistant in Hashinger Hall for the Freshman Summer Institute.
"I just had to go downstairs and go to work." Davis said of the convenience of working on campus.
Another advantage to working on campus, Hartley said, was that students were able to network with faculty and staff.
Davis, said he started working on campus because he could earn more than minimum wage.
Hartley said the pay for oncampus jobs ranged from $5.25 to $8.00 an hour. The higher paying jobs were usually computer-related.
Students can start in entrylevel positions and work their way up to better paying jobs or ones with more responsibilities, she said.
"I had a great RA, so I thought I
would help people the same way that RA helped me," Davis said.
Straw can be reached at 864-4810 or writer@kansan.com
He said he enjoyed being a resident assistant and a role model to the freshman on his floor.
Hartley encouraged students who were interested in working on campus to visit the University Career and Employment Services Web site, www.ku.edu/~uces, for jobs. She said the job listings were updated every day.
"It's been a rewarding experience," Davis said.

Teen-ager battles blood disease
The Associated Press
STAFFORD — Chelsea Dick starred high school last week.
She has a typical freshman schedule: geometry, world history, English, physical science, computer and band.
But when she goes home at night, things aren't so typical. Chelsea has to sleep with a needle in her abdomen for nine hours while dangerous excess iron, built up by transfusions, is removed from her blood.
Chelsea, 14, has autoimmune red cell aplasia, or aplastic anemia, which means that her body is killing itself.
The only cure is a bone marrow transplant. No one in her immediate family is a donor match.
At home in Stafford, Chelsea's parents stay up late talking things out.
Months of motel bills, food, gas, paying 20 percent of the cost of a shelf of prescription drugs and replacing the transmission in their van have wiped out their savings.
It saddens Chelsea to see the anguished looks that flash across the faces of her family.
"It's always there," her father says. "She's not the energetic girl she once was, but I have to
believe she'll be OK. Otherwise,
I'd "oo crazy."
Blood transfusions every seven to nine days provide the red cells her body no longer produces. This summer, her white blood cell production has begun to falter.
She tries to keep negative thoughts out of her head. She missed half of eighth grade but still got promoted while keeping her spot on the cheerleading squad.
Donations can be made to the Chelsea Dick Medical Expense Fund at Prairie State Bank, P.O. Box 250, Maize, KS 67101.

Best Buddies is a more service-oriented organization.
The club attends tournaments, which sometimes offer cash prizes. The club also plays host to speakers.
From the Concrete Canoe Club to Students for a Free Tibet, the University of Kansas offers more than 400 student organizations.
Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of Organizations and Leadership center, said the organizations were a great way to meet people.
"There is some type of activity for everyone," Quisenberry said. "Joining an organization can help social and organizational skills, especially if a student chooses to serve as an officer, like treasurer."
President Kelly Brown said Best Buddies was part of an international organization dedicated to promoting friendships among

people with and without mental retardation or developmental disabilities.
Each group member is paired with a young person in the community who is developmentally disabled.
Last year, Best Buddies had 35 members. The organization has three group outings each semester, including sporting events, bowling, pizza parties and dances.

"This is a very enriching and rewarding organization, as well as one that is fun for everyone involved." Brown said.
Brown said it was a good way to learn more about yourself.
Another KU group, the Sexuality Education Committee, helps students open their minds to issues of human sexuality.
Last year, SEC's roughly 10 members set up classes, information sessions and displays to talk about human sexuality issues, such as intimacy, spiritual growth within sexuality, homosexuality, self-awareness and relationships.
President Renzo Hayashi said the group always tried to come up
with new topics and improve old ones.
"This is a very liberal group of very interesting people who are accepting of your ideas and suggestions," Hayashi said. "No inhibitions here."
"We respect and are open to all ideas, genders, races and orientations," he said. "We're not a radical group, just regular KU students and a fun group to be in."
A campus dance group is trying to make a long tradition more accessible and contemporary for students.
The KU Ballroom Dance Club offers lessons in beginning, intermediate and competitive levels, and plays host to two ballroom dances each semester.
President Bogdan Pathak said it was a good way for people to develop self-confidence and be graceful on their feet.

A glitch that caused the KU Outlook e-mail server to crash in July has been addressed and the database restored, said Thelma Simmons, director for the Exchange Project.
During a routine upgrade of storage hardware, a bug corrupted the system and users lost service for up to five days. Academic Computing Services told users the system would be down for one weekend, but couldn't find the exact problem or its source.
According to the ACS Website, certain disk drives and versions of firmware can cause problems. ACS, however, was not aware of these problems when it installed
the firmware.
Simmons said ACS had finished restoring the system and had backed up all the data on storage databases.
Another source of the problem, she said, was the large size of the storage base — the place where Outlook users' e-mail information is kept. Since the July crash, ACS has split that storage base into smaller, more manageable units.
Simmons said users may not have been aware that deleting a message in Outlook did not erase it on the system. Instead, it sent the messages into a "deleted" folder where they remained on the server.
All sent messages were also kept on the server until being
deleted from the sent folder. She advised users to get rid of old or unwanted messages.
Simmons said a future crash was extremely unlikely.
Sarah Taghizadeh, Overland Park senior, said she had deleted her messages, but didn't realize they were put in a "deleted" folder.
Simmons said that most users had praised the switch to Outlook from the old campus e-mail system.
"Other than the server problem, I think the transition has gone very well. Overall, we got really good feedback on the install," Simmons said.

Technology goes beyond e-mail
Campus resources provide services to aid communication research ability
By Brandy Straw
Kansan staff writer
Even though students at the University of Kansas still stand in line to enroll, they can research term papers or access grades at any time of day on the Internet with the touch of a button or click of a mouse.
Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services, said the University was ahead of many other schools in its use of some technology, especially its Web site.
She said the Web site's organization and easy navigation made it more user-friendly than other university sites.
She said students were mostly interested in technology offered in residence halls, libraries and services offered by Academic Computing Services.
Through ACS, students can get Internet access, e-mail accounts, personal Web pages, computer lab resources and attend computer classes.
Kathy Pribbenow, documentation and training specialist for ACS, said the classes were free for students, faculty and staff. Classes range from one-hour demonstrations to two- or three-hour workshops.
The computer classes include Internet and Outlook services, Web site authoring, publishing and management, graphics, multimedia, Windows and Mac OS 10, office and data analysis software and operating systems.
Pribbenow said ACS would be offering computer training classes online this fall. The classes would cover the same material as ACS' other classes, but students could use the tutorials at their own convenience.
The classes are set up like a
workbook, Pribbenow said. Students do the exercises and then take a test. There is also a pretest students can take to see how much they already know about a certain subject to determine whether they need to complete the workbook exercises.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 11A
"I think everybody benefits from training no matter what their skill level is," Pribbenow said.
She said it was important that students register an e-mail account with the University because the e-mail address is used to create an online ID, which students can use to check their grades.
KU students who want a free e-mail account can go to wwwku.edu/computing/services and follow the directions on the site. All e-mail accounts are Exchange accounts and can be accessed through Outlook or on the Web at wwwmailku.edu.
Goodyear said having a KU email account was a great way to communicate with faculty and other students.
Another resource available to students via the KU Web site is research for term papers. The KU Libraries homepage, www.lib.ukans.edu, has links to the KU online catalog, databases to search journal articles, electronic journals and full-text article databases, including Lexis-Nexis, one of the most extensive databases available.
Richard Fyffle, interim associate dean of libraries, said the online catalog should link directly to 4,300 books in electronic form by September. The books can be read by using Net Library. Students are able to search the table of contents, search the book without using an index, go directly to a certain chapter or read the book from beginning to end. Also, the program would allow students to download the book onto their computers for a set number of days, he said.
"If the library is closed, there is still a collection of books students will have access to and be able to read online," Fyffe said.
He said the collection consisted of books that had been published within the past five years.
Another new feature, which Pyfe said he hoped to have finished this fall, is a direct link from the citation to the actual article, if available in electronic form.
Fyffe said he thought having these different resources would help students see how library research works.
"In this kind of environment students continue to search and explore without getting discouraged."Fyffe said.
He said in an online environment students could immediately determine if the information was important for their research without tracking down the journal in the library. He said he hoped this would keep students excited about learning.
Watson Library offers workshops for students who want help using the KU online catalog or searching the Web, said Mary Miller, Watson reference technology coordinator. Assistance is also available on the reference desk Web site, www.lib.ukans.edu/watsonref. Students working from home can e-mail reference questions to librarians from a link on this page.
In addition to library resources, technology in the residence halls is also important to students.
Ann Ermey, ResNet coordinator, said the halls offered ethernet connections, cable TV and telephones with long distance and caller ID, which is new this fall.
She said because more and more students were arriving on campus with computers, the residence hall rooms were equipped with hub technology. This technology, also new this fall, allows more than one computer to be hooked up to the ethernet connection simultaneously. Now,

students sharing a room can do online research at the same time. Hubs can be purchased through ResNet for $45, Ermey said.
She said she thought KU was ahead of some schools and behind others in its technology offered in the residence halls.
"I think we do pretty well and get better every year," Ermey said.
She said she hoped to provide new technology as it comes available in the future, but she said coordinators are more focused on providing current technology in the best way possible.
Goodyear said the amount of technology on campus for student use was adequate, but said there's always room for improvement.

Faculty fashion choices range from ties to sandals
When suiting up for the classroom, Robert Rowland and Mark Joslyn couldn't be less alike.
On a Friday morning during summer classes 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.
Even though Rowland is not required to dress up as he would be in some other professions, he is still 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."
Unlike Rowland, Joslyn never wears ties when he teaches. And when it's too cold for shorts, he puts on jeans.
Joslyn also sees his casual attire as going hand in hand with his informal classroom approach.
"The nice thing about being a professor is you can reveal your personality through your dress" he said.
Corrie Madill, who took Joslyn's Introduction to U.S. Politics class, said her professor's dressed-down look had a positive effect.
One of Joslyn's colleagues,
Not all untenured faculty are comfortable dressing informally for class.
"I think it's cool," said Madill, Lawrence sophomore. "It kind of gives the atmosphere a more laid-back feeling."
Lorraine Bayard de Volo, said she did not wear jeans to class. Instead, she opts for dressy slacks and a coordinating top and jacket.
"If I dress nonprofessionally, then I think — particularly because of my younger age and gender — that students are more likely to second-guess my authority," said Bayard de Volo, assistant professor of political science and women's studies.
Ann Cudd, a professor of philosophy who has been at the University since 1988, said that before she got tenure she wore more skirts and dresses.
Although Cudd now likes to wear casual clothes—sometimes even jeans—when she teaches a smaller class like a seminar, but prefers to dress up more when lecturing to a large group.
Faculty attire has not always ranged from formal to casual.
Linda Trueb, who has taught biology as a faculty member since the early 1970s and was a graduate student at the University before that, said that at one time female professors wore skirts or dresses while male professors wore coats and ties.
But Glenn Hudspeth's dressed-down look shows how much things have changed. For a recent class, the GTA in German showed up in cargo shorts, a plaid shirt and athletic shoes.
Hudspeth does not plan to don more conservative duds when he becomes a professor.
"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."

Valentino Almeida grabbed a microphone as the audience grew silent in respect for the evening's first order of business.
In front of about 250 audience members, Almeida sang a traditional hymn in hopes that things would go well at Saturday's celebration of India's independence.
Tradition surrounded the KU Cultural India Club festivities in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union.

The attendants, KU students and their families, were dressed in lengha and saris the traditional, elaborate dresses worn by Indian teenagers and women.
The eight performances mixed traditional hymns and flirty, spirited dances. Almeida, the KUCIC president, sang four hymns, including three which were Hindi hymns found in Hindi movies, he explained.
"In India, there are many songs in movies," Almeida said. "Hollywood doesn't do that. I chose to sing these songs because our people recognize them from popular Hindi movies. One of the hymns was from a movie made in 2000, so that's why most people cheered so loud: most everybody recognized it."

The audience listened in silence to a reading of the events that lead up to India gaining its independence from the British 54 years ago.
Spotlights in the colors of India's flag — green, white and orange — shone on several performers as they danced to upbeat, lively Indian music.
Nikki Dulku, the evening's co-host and KUCIC cultural chair, danced in flirty conversation with a male dancer.
Thirteen KUCIC members came onstage in a final prayer for India before some audience members left to attend a new student orientation. Prospective club members then learned about the area grocery stores, retailers, apartment complexes
and KU organizations that could help acclimate them with Lawrence.
Almeida said KUCIC met once a month and Student Senate often sponsored its events.

UPS workers help move residence hall students
Volunteers used dollies, rest station to make day easier
Jeremy Clarkson Kansan Staff Writer
Students who moved into Oliver Hall Sunday morning were met with a warm welcome by volunteers from United Parcel Service. About 25 volunteers from UPS came to Oliver to help students move into their rooms.
UPS came equipped with dolies and set up a rest station with music, water, Coke and fruit for everyone helping with move-in day.
Prizes were also given away to students, and UPS provided information on job opportunities.
Gordon Everett, Human Resource Recruiter for UPS, said the company wanted to make the day easier for students.
"Our main objective is to help students move into the residence halls," Everett said. "On top of that, if they would like information on the jobs we provide, they can get it."
Everett said the volunteer workers were a big help for families moving in and that they wanted to contribute to the college experience.
Lindsey Amodeo, Des Moines,
Iowa, freshman, said the UPSvolunteers were helpful.
"It's only taken us about 45 minutes, and we got all my stuff up already." Amodeo said.
Amodeo said she would have been stuck if the UPS workers hadn't been around to help her
load her belongings on a dolly.
"They brought lots of volunteers to help people work," she said. Reception has been well and people seem happy to have them here."
Students weren't the only people who were thankful for the UPS help with move-in day. Christine Thoorsell, Oliver Hall complex director, said the volunteers worked hard for the students.
Thoorsell said with so many people moving in today, the volunteers helped keep traffic in the building flowing.
Brian Wise, employment supervisor for UPS, said he wanted to provide job opportunities to students.
"One of the main reasons why we do this is to let students know of some jobs we have." Wise said.

Blurry: History pitted against progress in battle for Mount Oread
"Every master plan I've seen in a bound document is not worth a hoot." Corman told commissioners. "It is gathering dust on a shelf."
However, Corman agreed in April to listen to any alternatives that the ONA suggested.
Two monthslater, the ONA presented its proposals to Corman.
Among the proposals that ONA submitted was the use of existing KU-owned structures as sites for scholarship halls. Members also said Stouffer Place was an inefficient use of 32 acres of land and could be better put to use to accommodate both married student housing and scholarship halls. They also suggested using Stewart Avenue property as a site for building more housing.
In the proposal, ONA asked that the University leave older buildings intact and restore them, using them for homes for faculty, staff, retired professors, visiting professors or cooperative housing.
"This meeting confirmed to us that Mr. Corman was not interested in a shared dialogue with our neighborhood association," Davis said, "Our written proposal with alternative suggestions seemed to fall on deaf ears."
Among the recommendations presented by ONA was a suggestion that the University could refurbish some of the almost 100-year-old houses and turn them into student housing.
In response, Corman told the commission, "The University does not have a mission of establishing, replacing, or repairing private homes for private use or for rental. That's not our mission. Our mission is to try to take care of students."
Corman said that the houses were safety and fire hazards and that there have been two fires
Crawford said he had purchased houses in much worse condition and transformed them into beautiful homes. Crawford was interested in the Ohio street properties when the offers ranged between $300,000 and $400,000, but he simply couldn't compete with the University's higher offer.
"I am not going to fault the University for anything until I find out exactly what is going on," Crawford said.
Corman said many neighbors in the Oread area told him they wished the houses were gone, but they thought it wasn't in their best interests to make a public statement about it because they would be perceived as not being supportive of the neighborhood.
That comment drew cynical laughter from Bill Mitchell.
Corman also said that he "saw no reason to go east of Ohio Street."
"I don't see any option but razing these houses as soon as we can get permission to do so," he said.
"Laugh if you want," Corman said, "But this is a serious statement. If you want us to work together, we have to trust each other."
Mitchell said the University had already broken that trust when it ignored its commitment through the master plan not to extend east of the alley between Louisiana and Ohio streets.
'I would say to the University, which i

since the Kansas University Endowment Association bought them in February.
"They're all in bad shape." Corman said. "I don't think there is any way you could economically replace, restore or rebuild them. That's my opinion after 50-some years of architecture."
John Crawford, of Crawford Construction, Inc., said he wanted to buy and restore the old houses, he just couldn't meet the $700,000-plus bid offered by the University.

ONA members said in a letter to the commission that the group's "confidence and trust with KU is shaken. KU's aggressive actions have cut into the heart of
Janet Gerstner, ONA member, said it was not the first time the University had reneged on promises to the community.
parking spaces in the plan was one of the things that made the project acceptable in the eyes of the city and the neighborhood.
Gerstner said that when the University planned to build the Amini Scholarship Halls in 1991, it came forth to the neighborhood association and promised that the construction of these halls would include a 100-car parking ramp on the site. Gertsnar said the inclusion of ample
"We didn't get what we expected here and that's been a sore spot for the neighborhood." Gertsner said.
The ramp was never built.
She said that the current site plans on Ohio Street did not include any additional parking and that this would only contribute to an already unmanageable parking problem.
In the letter to the commission, ONA said, "KU has rewarded neglectful property owners by buying their blighted Ohio Street properties at prices far beyond the actual market values."
Allen Black, of the land use committee of the League of Women Voters, said this was a local example of a phenomenon that was occurring throughout the United States.
"They buy houses and then run them into the ground before selling them to KU for demolition," the letter said.
DNA said this created an atmosphere of blight-for-profit that encouraged property owners to have no interest in long-term consequences to neighborhoods.
"What was once a pleasant family neighborhood may turn into a student ghetto." Black said.
A Class Project
A Class Project
At the start of the Summer 2001 semester, Stacey White, an assistant professor in architecture and urban planning, suggested a list of possible final projects for a graduate level Local Environmental Planning Class. Hands down, the class chose the Oread/KU conflict as the most attractive project to pursue.
After an eight-week study into the problems faced by both the community and the University, the group, composed of four graduate students and one undergraduate student, came up with a list of proposals for the University and the ONA. The group offered to submit a copy of its 20-page report to the City Commission.
Lori Kruger, a graduate student who worked on the project, said, "When older single homes are replaced with University scholarship or residence halls, the sense of community is eroded. A six- or seven-story brick building appears to be a towering fortress when placed on a hill over the cowering two-story residences."
Kruger said the absence of clear definitions of the University's growth boundaries was "an inherent part of the problem."
was an innocent problem:
"Iimagine the unavoidable problems that would occur if we had implied speed limits on our streets and highways," she said.
an overlay zoning district that would extend around the current University perimeter and that would have special restrictions that would appease both the University and the neighborhoods adjacent to campus.
The student group also recommended
More importantly, the group stressed ongoing dialogue and a permanent board to facilitate discussions between the University and neighborhood members.
"The growing pains may become far less noticeable if both clarity and a stronger sense of mutual respect move to the forefront of the situation." Kruger said.
State Guidelines Pat Kehde
president of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance, said the 1997 Campus Plan was not the only agreement that would be violated if the University proceeded with demolition of the Ohio Street properties.
"We have in the University an organization that cannot come to terms with the fact that they cannot act unilaterally."
"If the campus board takes into account city-owned property, then they are reviewing out of their jurisdiction," Kehde said.
Kehde said the houses were within the environs of Spooner Hall, a KU-owned property, and Usher-Palmer Hpidr, a city-owned building. She said both of these were registered historical buildings and that because one was owned by the city and one by the University, this created a case of jurisdictional overlapping.
She pointed out a 1995 agreement between the State Historic Preservation Board and Board of Regents institutions that sets guidelines for University and community relationships in regard to demolition of properties within the environs of properties on the historical register.
Kehde also said the houses were purchased by the Endowment Association, which is a private corporation, and not an arm of the Board of Regents. Therefore, review of these properties should not be done by the Campus Historic Preservation Board — a board composed of nine KU employees and one community member.
repeatedly ignored calls from the HRC and from city staff to form a joint commission on the compliance to the State Historical Preservation Officer."
She said it was impossible for a campus review board to determine whether a project would encroach upon or damage only campus property.
"It is apparent that such a board cannot give an unbiased judgment, for how can KU employees vote against their own bosses' projects?" Kehde said. "KU has

the city commission for help in creating a climate that would not tolerate "the bullying and arrogant tactics of a powerful institution or individual."
He said the University was a large organization with many disconnected parts that often "bumbles its
way when expansion is planned."
"Otherwise, how can you explain the development of a master plan over six years, which is supposed to provide guidance over 20 years, and it is ignored just three to four years later?" Riordan said.
three to four years. Though the Campus Historic Preservation Board deferred a meeting in which the demolition plans would be formally announced, Riordan said they deferred only after they were told by the city they weren't in compliance with the SHPO agreement.
"We have in the University an organization that cannot come to terms with the fact that they cannot act unilaterally, but rather must act responsibly in true concert with and in cooperation with organizations and citizens."
Shelley Hickman Clark, associate dean of the KU Law School and board member on the Lawrence Preservation Alliance, agreed that the SHPO agreement was an important document to consider in this situation and also offered hope for future relationships between the University and the community.
"I believe that while KU has a pressing need for scholarship housing, I think they are going to approach this with good faith," Clark said. "I think there is room for dialogue."
The Campus Historical review board will hear up to 45 minutes of public comment on the Ohio street properties at a 6 p.m. meeting tomorrow at the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.

Local abortion dispute settled
Board of Healing Arts unanimously approves deal with local provider
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A Lawrence abortion provider accused of performing an abortion against a patient's wishes won't be punished under an agreement approved by a state regulatory board.
The 15-member Kansas Board of Healing Arts on Satur-
dayvoted unanimously to accept a settlement with Kristin Neuhaus that requires she keep a more detailed consent form and comply with the law.
"We're already doing everything that was recommended," Neuhaus said after the hearing.
Neuhaus was accused of performing an abortion on a patient who withdrew consent on June 7.2000.
Kelli Benintendi, an attorney for the Board of Healing Arts, has said the woman only wanted a local anesthetic and withdrew her consent to the procedure
after she was sedated with Diazepam.
Neuhaus said the woman was told Diazepam would have to be used because of the age of the fetus, and the woman consented to the procedure.
Under the agreement with the board, Neuhaus must comply with state laws on sedating and monitoring patients, keep proper medical records and inform patients about the probable gestational ages of their fetuses.
Neuhaus said she still might have to close her clinic because of debt and legal fees.
"We're already doing everything that was recommended."

She said the clinic was $40,000 in debt, partly because regulators temporarily shut it down last year during their investigation. She also said she had about $5,000 in outstanding legal expenses.
Accused murderer gets child custody
Old ruling overturned state law allows defendant to keep murdered wife's 5-year-old daughter
The Associated Press
HUTCHINSON — A Rice County judge has awarded custody of a 5-year-old girl to her father, who is charged with murdering the child's mother.
Rice County District Judge Don Alvord initially granted custody of Emily Corbett to her maternal grandparents, Diana and George Abney. But that decision was overturned Tuesday by Judge Barry Bennington.
turned Tuesday, of jayne Bennington said he found no evidence under Kansas law that Emily was in need of care from anyone besides her surviving parent. The Abneys turned Emily over to her father, Trevor Corbett, 27, of Sterling, on Thursday.
Corbett is charged with first-degree murder in the June 26, 2000; slaying of his former
wife, Crystal Casey. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday in Reno County District Court.
A Kansas Social and Rehabilitation Services attorney said Friday that state child custody law afforded Corbett the presumption of innocence and that the charge against him was considered insufficient under Kansas law to cost him custody of his daughter.
"Defendants are presumed innocent and capable of taking care of their children," said Roberta Sue McKenna, an SRS attorney for children and family policy. "That doesn't switch until and if a conviction is handed down."
McKenna said there was a section of the state statute that cleared the way for a custody switch if another child in the home had been injured or abused. But there is no similar provision governing the abuse or killing of one parent by another.
Until recently, Kansas parents retained post-conviction custody of their children, even in the circumstance of one spouse

"Now, Kansas has a procedure where the court can presume a parent unfit," McKenna said. "Once a parent is convicted, they are presumed unfit."
HOLTON — A Jackson County jury acquitted Richard Bradley Jr. on charges that he and two classmates planned a Columbine-style attack on Royal Valley High School.
The Associated Press
Jury acquits ex-student of planned school attack
"I'm just glad it's all over with," Bradley said. "I'm glad the truth got out."
Bradley, 18, had been charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated arson or, in the alternative, solicitation to commit aggravated arson, two counts of criminal use of explosives, and one count each of aggravated intimidation of a witness and criminal threat. He was acquitted on all counts.
The former Royal Valley senior was arrested along with fellow students Jason Moss and James Lopez on Feb. 3 in connection with a plot involving homemade bombs and a semi-automatic assault rifle.
Authorities searched the three boys' homes and seized weapons, long black coats, hand-drawn plans of the school and instructions and materials that could be used to create crude bombs.
As District Judge Tracy Klinginsmith dismissed the jury at about 9:15 p.m., about 20 people in the courtroom erupted in applause, then surrounded Bradley, offering hugs and congratulations.
On Friday, Bradley's family and friends awaited the jury's verdict after more than 12 hours in court. Many of his supporters wore buttons declaring him "The real victim of RVHS."

comment on the jury's verdict.
Athena Andaya, an assistant attorney general who prosecuted the case, limited her remarks to thanking the jurors for their service.
The case went to the jury at about 6.30 p.m., after four days of testimony from more than three dozen witnesses.
Defense attorney Richard Lake summed up his defense by listing each witness and recalling their testimony. For many, he simply stated that their testimony concerned Moss and Lopez and not his client.
Lopez, 17, was convicted in April on one count of criminal use of explosives and one count of criminal threat as part of a plea agreement to testify against his co-defendants.
Moss, also 17, is awaiting trial on Aug.27 on charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated arson or, in the alternative, solicitation to commit aggravated arson, two counts of criminal use of explosives and one count each of aggravated intimidation of a witness and criminal threat.

Scientists question Bush's cell numbers
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON The world's largest federation of scientists questioned whether there really are 60 embryonic stem cell lines available for federally funded research and challenged the Bush administration to immediately identify them.
President Bush, in an announcement last week, said that federally funded researchers could use any of more than 60 embryonic cell lines that he said existed, but the American Association for the Advancement of Science said in a statement Friday that there was doubt about the number and origins of those cell lines.
"Many of our scientific colleagues have questioned that number, believing it to be much smaller," the AAAS statement said. It urged the Bush administration to immediately make public the sources and identities of the cell lines.
"Until leading scientists in the field can assess their quality, it is not possible to determine whether the existing collection of those lines will be sufficient" for research, the statement said.
Dr. Lana Skirboll, the NIH researcher who surprised the research community by finding 60 cell lines at the request of the White House, said that she couldn't identify all of the researchers that had developed cell lines because some of the labs "are not quite ready to announce."
"We will in the not-too-distant future make sure that everybody knows exactly where the 60 lines are," she said.
Skirboll said there were five labs with stem cell lines that hadn't been announced publicly because of "commercial confidential and other security issues."
and other security threats. The AAAS statement was issued as federal health officials prepared to meet this month with officers of a University of Wisconsin foundation. The officials will be working out the legal details to allow government-funded researchers to use cell lines
developed at the university.
The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, or WARF, controls the absolute rights to the five best-known and most widely studied embryonic stem cells, which were created by Dr. James Thomson of the university. But the foundation also holds patents that may affect all 60 of the cell lines touted by President Bush.
How the claim will be resolved is one of the sticky issues to be negotiated with the National Institutes of Health, said Andy Cohn of WARF.
Control WARF. Officials said details of the meeting were still being sorted out, but the parties are expected to negotiate ways to satisfy any patent claims WARF has against embryonic cell lines created by laboratories outside the United States.
U. S. WARF officials said they believed that those foreign cell lines must be licensed under WARF's patent rights before they can be imported for use by American scientists.
NAACP feels snubbed by President Bush
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — NAACP leaders, already unhappy about the White House's conservative agenda, are upset by President Bush's failure to meet with them to discuss civil rights.
In a July 31 letter, Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, asked Bush for a closeddoor audience to air a variety of concerns.
concerns.
"As you witnessed firsthand a year ago at our national convention, our members are very politically active and astute," Mfume
wrote. "Despite whatever philosophical differences may exist, the absence of a dialogue can only make them worse."
A week later, White House scheduling director Bradley Blakeman sent a reply saying Mfume's request had been received, but giving no indication of when a meeting would take place.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said Mfume's letter was being handled like any other request for time with Bush.
"The request is under review," Fleischer said. "The president reaches out to all kinds of American constituencies and will continue to do so.
But NAACP officials, noting that the reply did not come from Bush himself, his chief of staff or his top aides, felt snubbed.
"We're waiting. We're eager and willing to sit down and talk," said board chairman Julian Bond. "And even though the White House is the people's house, you can't just go knock on the door."
Bush attended a fund-raiser this week at a Denver hotel that was being picketed by the NAACP.
At the NAACP's convention last month, Bond accused the
president of being a puppet of the political right. Bush ignored Bond's remarks, but Fleischer said Bond had gone too far.
Bush did not attend the convention but sent a videotaped message highlighting his diverse Cabinet and expressing a desire to ensure the Republican Party "keeps faith with the memory of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass."
Mfume told Bush that he wanted to discuss Social Security reform, hate crimes, education, health care, election reform, economic development and "the general state of race relations in America."
Expert blames Ford design not Firestone tire quality
$1 billion at stake in latest lawsuit plaguing company
The Associated Press
McALLEN, Texas — An automotive expert testified Saturday in a $1 billion lawsuit against Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. that vehicle design, not tire design, caused a rollover accident that injured four members of a South Texas family last year.
Chris Shapley, an independent automotive engineer who specializes in vehicle dynamics, was the latest witness to point the blame at Ford Motor Co.
The lawsuit — the first of many similar ones against the tire maker to reach trial in the United States — was filed by Dr. Joel Rodriguez, whose brother, son and wife were injured when their Ford Explorer blew a tire and flipped in March 2000.
"When you lose the belt, you don't lose all of the things that a car does for you, just some of them," Shapley said. "It's going to disturb you a little bit, but it should not throw you out of control."
Shapley was referring to tread belt separations on tires, which prompted a recall of 6.5 million tires by Firestone last summer
The recalled tires have been linked to at least 203 deaths and 70 injuries. In May, Ford Motor Co. said it would replace 13 million more Firestone tires.
Plaintiffs claim faulty tires led to the wreck on a Mexican toll road, leaving Rodriguez's wife,
39-year-old Marisa, with garbled speech and an IQ of 79.
Lawyers for Firestone insist a flaw with the Ford Explorer, not their tires, led to the crash.
However, Lampe insisted Ford solely was to blame for the accident.
On Friday, Bridgestone/Firestone chief executive John Lampe testified that there were flaws with some Firestone tires causing tread to separate.
"We take responsibility for our tires, and tires are part of the issue, but doggone it, we have to look at the vehicles," Lampe said. "All manufacturers see separations in their tires. Separation is not the cause of the problem; it's a result of something."
Lampe said 42 of 43 rollovers involving Ford Explorers in Venezuela were on competitor's tires. Bridgestone/Firestone has said its tires were made according to specifications set by Ford and that tread separations do not cause rollovers.
When asked by Judge Filemon Vela if tread separation was the result of a problem with Ford Explorers, Lampe said company research so far was inconclusive.
Firestone has settled more than 150 cases, mostly involving tires on Explorers, for undisclosed sums. Attorneys for Rodriguez have already settled their case against Ford for $6 million.
The trial resumed Saturday to make up for the half day of testimony missed on Thursday when a juror's wife had a baby.

Bush pushes for religious group funding
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 17A
Senate will consider initiative when it returns from summer recess
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas President Bush said Saturday he was trying to make government more compassionate by letting religious charities compete more easily for taxpayer money.
"A compassionate government should find ways to support their good works," Bush said in his weekly radio address Saturday. "Unfortunately, government often treats charities and community groups as rivals instead of partners."
Bush has been seeking to persuade Congress to pass legislation opening government's doors
wider to churches, synagogues and other "faith-based organizations."
The initiative has raised concerns that it would violate the constitutional separation between church and state.
Bush echoed the findings of a report last week that contended federal officials routinely discriminate against religious groups when handing out grant money by taking those fears too far.
The report, based on data from five Cabinet agencies, "documents a government bias against faith and community-based organizations, a bias that exists even when constitutional concerns about church and state have been addressed." Bush said.
"Government administrators restrict religious groups from even applying for funding simply because they are religious," he said.
civil rights of such religious groups, he said.
Such government restrictions infringe on the
Bush noted that the House has already passed the necessary legislation. He urged the Senate to do likewise when it returns after Labor Day from its summer recess.
The measure has attracted little Democratic support. No legislation has been introduced in the Senate, where democrats are in control.
Bush said the program can help broaden government programs intended to encourage home ownership among low-income people, and provide an array of social services, including shelters for battered women and children, pregnancy centers, drug addiction treatment programs, and care for the homeless.
"If you agree, let your senator know if you see him or her during the congressional recess," the president said.
Wildfires consume 93,000 Washington acres
The Associated Press
LEAVENWORTH, Wash. — Gusty winds fanned fears of wildfire Saturday in this Cascade mountain tourist town, where flames have already gobbled more than 5,000 acres and could threaten nearly 2,000 homes and businesses.
It was just one of seven major fires in drought-stricken Washington state, where more than 93,000 acres had been burned across the state's arid east side in the past week.
Fire engines from around the state converged on the community.
to protect it from the so-called Icicle complex of more than 20 fires
"This is the No.1 priority fire in the region because of all the houses," said fire information officer Greg Thayer with the Wenatchee National Forest.
Across the West, 26,000 firefighters were at work Saturday battling 30 major fires that had blackened 504,044 acres, said the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise. No serious injuries have been reported. Last month, four eastern Washington firefighters were killed in a different round of blazes.
Oregon had 12 major wildfires, two of them new, on 232,000 acres. Homes were threatened in Monument, Ukiah and Dale.
"We're winning the war," said 79-year-old Monument resident Gus Peterson, who had used his red pickup, fitted with a 240-gallon water tank and a coiled hose, to help a small army of firefighters battle the blaze flanking the town.
Fire crews had scraped and burned a perimeter outside of Monument to keep the 26,000-acre fire away from homes. Fire officials had expected trouble Friday from winds. But the winds turned out to be weaker than expected.
In northern Nevada, weary firefighters faced a new fire that had burned 13,000 acres by Saturday morning.
Fifty homes had been evacuated in Leavenworth since the middle of the week, about 30 of them Friday night, when the wind-driven fires raced across an additional 1,000 to 1,500 acres. Residents of 200 homes were warned that they might have to leave.
West Nile virus kills woman in Florida
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The death of an elderly woman from the West Nile virus prompted officials Saturday to warn residents and open a phone bank to deal with concerned callers.
Blanch H. Hill, 71, died from the mosquito-spread virus Aug. 11 at Grady Memorial Hospital, officials said. Six other people in metro Atlanta hospitals with similar symptoms are being tested, but no other human cases in Georgia have been confirmed.
Officials on Saturday were larviciding around senior citizens' homes downtown and in a park where dead birds infected with the virus have been found. Larviciding is a mosquito control method in which chemicals or natural substances are put in standing water to kill juvenile insects.
The virus, which can cause deadly swelling of the brain, has killed nine people in New York and New Jersey since 1999. It has appeared in the South this year in two Florida residents, and in dead birds in Florida, Georgia and Virginia. Mosquitoes can transmit the virus
from birds to humans and other animals.
Atlanta health officials urged residents to remove any standing pools of water where mosquitos could breed and to use bug repellent.
Public spraying to kill mosquitoes was under way this week on New York's Staten Island. A 73-year-old woman on Staten Island was being treated for the virus. Infected birds have been found in several Northeast states.
For most people, the virus causes only a flu-like illness, and many who are exposed don't get sick at all. People with weakened immune systems are considered most at risk.
In Ontario, Canada, authorities reported Friday that a dead crow found in Windsor, near Detroit, tested positive for the virus. It was the first known case in Canada since the disease was discovered in North America in 1999, said Dr. Allen Heimann of the Windsor/Essex Health Unit.

Two dead in Mideast attack
JERUSALEM — In a day marked by gunbattles, helicopter raids and grenade attacks, Israeli troops yesterday shot dead two Palestinians, including a 13-year-old boy, while Jewish settlements came under mortar fire.
The Associated Press
The Israeli military said it regretted that the Palestinians send youths "to throw grenades and fire at (Israeli) forces from populated civilian areas."
Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said he was in contact with Palestinian officials in a bid to arrange a cease-fire, but Palestinian leaders dismissed it as a public relations effort designed to draw attention away from the military actions.
In the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian militants threw grenades and fired rifles at Israeli soldiers patrolling the Israel-Egypt border, prompting the soldiers to fire back, the military said.
"What Mr. Peres is saying is just a trick, another game to cover the policy of assassinations and attacks against the Palestinian people," said Yasser Abed Rabbo,
the Palestinian information minister.
Also in southern Gaza, Palestinian militants fired six mortars at the Jewish settlements of Gush Katif, slightly injuring one settler, the Israeli military reported.
The army responded with Apache helicopters that fired missiles, flattening the Force 17 security offices, while tanks shelled another Palestinian security base.
In the West Bank, Israeli troops blocking a road near the city of Nablus forced on Palestinians trying to skirt the checkpoint on foot, killing one and wounding three, Palestinians said.
Despite the daily violence, Peres, the Israeli foreign minister, said he hoped to meet in coming days with Arafat.
However, Ahmed Qureia, the speaker of the Palestinian parliament, said he and other senior Palestinian figures would not speak with Peres until Israeli security forces hand back Palestinian buildings and security offices in and around east Jerusalem.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon insists there will be no formal peace negotiations until the violence ends. However, he has given Peres permission to hold talks with the Palestinians on a possible cease-fire.
A U.S.-brokered cease-fire, declared more than two months ago, has never taken hold. Since the Mideast fighting began nearly 11 months ago, 572 people have been killed on the Palestinian side, and 152 on the Israeli side.
Modern opera hits wrong note in Austria
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — An attempt to introduce contemporary themes such as drug addiction and homosexuality to Johann Strauss' operetta Die Fledermaus drew a caustic response at the Salzburg Festival.
Tuxedoed gentlemen and gowned ladies, some paying as much as $120 to attend the 2001 premiere at the famed Felsenreitschule Hall late Friday, booled. Some swore. And reviewers store it to pieces.
Criticism focused mainly on German director Hans Neuenfels' efforts to break political and social taboos — introducing racy themes to the waltzy operetta that was a triumph for Strauss when it made its world premiere on April 5, 1874.
To do so, Neuenfels had to recast some of the main characters: Russian Prince Orlofsky was portrayed as a cocaine addict.
Most Austrian newspapers do not have a Sunday edition, but available reviews showed little support for his efforts. Karlheinz Roschitz of the mass-circulation Kronenzeitung titled his review: Gone down in wild coke orgies.
"Hans Neuenfels produced ... an orgy of destruction. The audience ran away in droves."
Similarly, the reviewer of the Austria Press
Agency criticized the fact that the Russian prince appears as "cocaine king" who only shows "what excessive consumption of drugs leads to."
But Gerard Mortier, the Belgian impresario who is leaving Salzburg as the festival's artistic manager, told the Vienna daily Der Standard, "I am personally very happy."
"That is theater how it should be: arousing, provocative and challenging," he said.
Another of those who disapproved of Neuenfel's rendition of Die Fledermaus — which means The Bat — was Helene Partik-Pable, a lawmaker and prominent political ally of populist Joerg Haider
Haider was formerly chairman of the far-right Freedom Party, which currently forms the government along with Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel's Austrian People's Party.
"Once again the question arises as to what damage is done to the Salzburg Festival by such productions that completely antagonize and mislead the audience and how much (Salzburg's) reputation as a serious festival city is put at risk," she said.

Caribbean tropical storm Chantal builds
The Associated Press
KINGSTON, Jamaica Chantal, the Caribbean's first tropical storm of the year, neared hurricane strength yesterday, churning her way past Jamaica and heading toward Mexico's Yucatan peninsula.
The fast-moving storm, which formed early Thursday, soaked small islands in the Caribbean and generated lightning bolts that killed two brothers collecting rainwater in Trinidad.
"The thunderstorms around the storm's center have intensified, and Chantal at this point is moving across the warmest waters in the Caribbean so she is bound to intensify even more," said Eric Blake, a meteorologist at the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Chantal was expected to build to hurricane strength later yesterday, and by today come within 115 miles of Honduras. By late tomorrow, the storm was expected to near Mexico's Yucatan, Blake said.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 19A
Mexico issued a hurricane watch from Chetumal to Cancun. Belize posted a hurricane watch from Belize City northward and a tropical storm watch for areas south of the city. The Cayman Islands were under a tropical storm warning.
At 11 a.m. EDT yesterday, the center of the season's third named storm was 270 miles southeast of Grand Cayman Island, moving west at 15 mph. The storm's winds were a sustained 70 mph and extended outward for 175 miles, mainly to the
northeast of the center.
Gusty winds swept through the Jamaican seaside capital of Kingston on Saturday, and rough seas prompted fishermen to drag their boats ashore. Some flights into Kingston's international airport were being canceled.
"It won't be the worst one, but there aren't good storms," said Jeff Wade, a 71-year-old fisherman, who dragged his canoeshaped boat out of the breaking whitecaps and onto a beach in the fishing village of Port Royal, just outside Kingston.
Moving at twice the speed of average storms, Chantal formed Thursday and raced westward across the Atlantic Ocean, passing over Barbados and then hovering over St. Vincent. The storm has alternately lost and regained

Tropical storms have sustained winds of at least 39 mph and become hurricanes at 74 mph.
The season's first two named storms, Allison and Barry, hit land along the northern Gulf Coast as very wet tropical storms. Barry did little damage and brought relief to droughtstricken areas in the Southeast United States.
Lebanon army cracks down on critics
The Associated Press
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The army arrested an editor for a prominent Arab newspaper, the second detention of a Christian journalist in three days, as Pope John Paul II yesterday criticized a crackdown on Lebanese Christian critics of Syria.
Military intelligence agents detained Habib Younis, a senior editor for the newspaper Al-Hayat, at his house in Jbeil, a town north of Beirut, on Saturday evening, the paper reported.
The London-based newspaper reported yesterday that Younis, who works for AlHayat's Beirut bureau, was told he was being detained "to be asked some questions."A senior military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed Younis' arrest.
"Following arrests in the ranks of the Lebanese opposition, it is now the turn of the press to be muzzled," Al-Hayat commented.
Since Aug.7, the army has detained about 250 Christians opposed to Syria, the main power broker in Lebanon. Many detainees have been released, but the crackdown has been widely criticized by government and opposition politicians as a case of the military exceeding its powers.
John Paul criticized the arrests, appealing to Lebanese leaders "that the values of democracy and national sovereignty not be sacrificed for the political interests of the moment."
"A pluralistic and free Lebanon constitutes for the entire Middle East region a richness: Let everyone help the Lebanese people preserve it and make it bear fruit," the pontiff told a group of faithful gathered at his summer retreat outside Rome.
The military accused the country of seeking to destabilize the country, charges dismissed by the Christian opposition.
The authorities gave no reason for the arrest of Younis, but the Reporters' Syndicate issued a statement saying it had been informed by Brig. Raymond Azzar, the chief of military intelligence, that Younis was arrested because he planned to go to Cyprus yesterday to meet an Israeli official.
Al-Hayat dismissed the alleged meeting in Cyprus as "unture," saying Younis was scheduled to work a 12-hour shift in the Beirut office yesterday.
The Reporters' Syndicate statement said it rejected the accusations against Younis and was demanding his release along with

Ukrainian coal mine explosion kills 36, leaves 14 missing
Miner describes blast scene as 'piles of bodies'
The Associated Press
KIEV, Ukraine — An underground methane and coal dust explosion killed 36 miners, injured 44 and left more than a dozen missing in eastern Ukraine yesterday — the most serious accident this year in the country's hazardous coal mines.
"This is a tragedy. We understand once again that that we must re-equip our coal industry both technically and technologically to bring it to a proper level. It is one of the state's priorities." Deputy Prime Minister Volodymyr Semynozhenko was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying.
The morning blast came as more than 250 miners were working underground at the Zasiadko mine in the coal-rich Donetsk region, authorities said.
Semynozhenko lamented the deteriorated state of Ukraine's coal industry, considered among the world's most unsafe, and pledged to help the families of the dead and wounded.
Most of the miners were brought to the surface, where 22 were hospitalized, at least four of them in grave condition. Twenty-two others were injured only slightly.
Ukraine's Emergency Situations Ministry said at least 14 miners were missing, but noted that its figures were preliminary. Rescue teams were working in the mine, battling a continuing fire, officials said. One
miner who escaped the accident unharmed described seeing "piles of bodies" while making his way to the surface.
Police surrounded the mine compound and barred reporters from entering. Grim-faced workers and relatives sat outside the mine's main administrative building in Donetsk awaiting the news.
It was not immediately clear what caused the blast at the Zasiadko mine, which was also the site of a May 1999 methane explosion that killed 50 miners and injured about 40 others.
President Leonid Kuchma ordered that a government commission be formed to look into the causes of the accident, said his spokesman, Oleksandr Martynenko. Kuchma also planned to visit the mine Monday.
Ukraine, once the pride of the Soviet Union for its huge coal mining industry, has more than 200 working and mostly unprofitable mines that were devastated by the Soviet collapse in 1991.
After the government of independent Ukraine slashed subsidies to the coal industry, the death rate began to rise. Last year, 318 coal workers died on the job, including 81 killed in a single explosion, and at least 120 have died so far this year.
Most accidents are blamed on outdated equipment and widespread disregard for safety rules. This year's second-deadliest accident was a May explosion at the Kirov mine that killed 10 and injured dozens of workers, also blamed on gross violation of safety rules.

UNDER PRESSURE, KANSAS FOOTBALL KICKS OFF SEASON WITH CHANGES
Freshman kicks his way to the top
By Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
You'd think a true freshman would be excited to see his name atop the Kansas football depth chart.
Not place kicker Johnny Beck.
"I was happy about it," said Beck, a standout at Piper High School in Kansas City, Kan. "But I didn't call home or anything. I know they wouldn't have given me a scholarship if they didn't think I could do it."
That's confidence. And that's what Kansas needs at the kicker position.
"Every coach wants to have the confidence that they can put up three points when they're in position," Kansas coach Terry Allen said. "Every coach would like that, but it's not a luxury most have."
For the past four years, the Jayhawks have depended on the inconsistent right foot of Joe Garcia. With Garcia's ups and downs, Kansas has not had a dependable kicker.
Enter Beck, who believes he can give Kansas the consistency it has lacked.
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
"I think we can be a good team," Beck said. "I want to be a part of that. If there's a field goal that can make the difference between a winning season or send us to a bowl game, I want to be out there kicking it."
That confidence comes from a career as the most prolific high school kicker in state history.
His 28 career field goals are a Kansas state high school record, and his 10 of 12 on kicks from outside 50 yards placed him among the most recruited kickers in the Midwest last year.
The success carried over onto the practice field, where Beck has edged sophomore Phil Case to take the top spot among the team's place kickers.
Even after Beck missed his first three attempts in the season's first scrimmage Saturday, Allen was convinced he had found his kicker.
"He hit them clean and he hit them hard," Allen said after the scrimmage, where Beck missed three inside 40 yards before connecting on a 47-yard attempt. "That's all we ask for from a consistency standpoint.
"He's a level-headed kid with a great leg," Allen said. "But we also know that Phil Case can do a good job, so we have what we want back there."
As for Beck, he believes it's time for action.
With Beck's confidence and strong right foot, the Kansas football team believes its kicking game is in good hands.
"The pressure will come from myself and my own expectations," said the freshman, who can put it through the uprights from 65 yards away. "I know the coaches have confidence in me, so I've just got to go out and do it."
Sophomore redshirt Phillip Case works on field goals as freshman place kicker Johnny Beck looks on. Case and Beck are competing for the starting position in the 'Hawk's lineup.

Face to face, players seek answers
Interviews, squad switches bring newfound intensity to the team's practices
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
Kansas football senior co-captain Nate Dwyer has given more interviews than he could count in his career as a Kansas football player, but recently he took his turn as an interviewer.
Dwyer — a defensive lineman voted the Jayhawks' most valuable player following last season — sat in the hot seat opposite freshman running back Marshall Chiles.
"It was cool, we interviewed each other and got to know each other," Dwyer said. "Everybody on the defense interviewed somebody on the offense. It gave us a chance to talk to someone you normally wouldn't."
The interviews, part of a series of team unity exercises, were among the many changes to the Kansas football team this season.
After 18 wins in four seasons with Terry Allen—Kansas hasn't won more than five games in a season during his
tenure — something had to give
The first sweeping changes came in the coaching staff. Allen's staff will feature seven new faces this season, including defensive coordinator Tom Hayes and co-offensive coordinator Rip Scherer, who will run the offense with Allen.
The coaches have already helped to change one thing — the pace of practice.
"We've all been working harder." Dwyer said. "The defense has to keep up with the offense and they've been working hard. These new coaches have been around and they know what they're doing, so we've got respect for them."
Last year the coaching staff decided to increase the tempo halfway through the season. With a newfound intensity, Kansas beat Missouri on their homecoming at Faurot Field and upset Colorado at home the following week.
The coaches don't plan on waiting this year.
"We turned up the intensity on the first day of spring practice," said Allen, who credited the new staff with bringing a new mindset.
The true coaching of the game isn't
"The true coaching of the game isn't that different, but they bring a new attitude and enthusiasm..."
Terry Allen
Kansas football coach
that different," Allen said, "but they bring a new attitude and enthusiasm that can be just as important as anything else."
In addition to intensity, the team is working to build its overall unity. That's where the soul-searching interviews come in.
"It's those little things that are making the difference both on and off the field," said Dwyer, who said this year's team was already as unified as any he's been a part of at Kansas. "If we're going to be successful we need to play as a team as opposed to a bunch of individuals. We need to find a way to be a cohesive unit."

Senior thrower shines in competition
KANSAS TRACK ATHLETE BREAKS CANADIAN NATIONAL RECORD
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
Senior All-American javelin thrower Scott Russell upped his own Canadian national record in the preliminaries of the World Track and Field Championships on Aug. 12, just missing what would have been a berth in the final.
Russell's throw of 81.66 meters — or 267 feet, 11 inches — placed him thirteenth in the preliminary field of 27. Twelve made the final, with the twelfthplace throw just 5 inches ahead of Russell's.
Going in with the idea of setting a new personal and national best, Russell
Russell first broke the Canadian record, as well as Kansas record, at the Canadian championships in June when he won with a throw of 80.17 meters, just over 263 feet.
"Honestly, going in with the mark I had, there was no pressure other than the pressure I put on myself," Russell said.
said he felt little pressure performing on one of track and field's biggest and brightest stages.
Russell then rested the three-and-a half weeks between the Canadian and world championships, not competing once during that span.
Russell's mark coming into the meet was the lowest personal best of anyone in the field, and just the thirdshortest 2001 effort in the field. After throws of 262-5 and 262-7 in the first
"I felt as good as I have in four years at KU." Russell said.
Russell:
Broke records with 263-foot javelin launch.
Russell will compete next at the World University Games in Beijing. The preliminaries begin there Aug. 30. He said he expected to be in the running for a medal.
two rounds, Russell launched the record throw in the third and final preliminary round. However, Latvia's Lusis
Voldemars' throw of 268-6 vaulted him into 10th place and prevented Russell from making the final.
"The whole Worlds experience was amazing," Russell said. "It's such an advantage going into Beijing and next year."

No, the circus didn't quietly roll into town late last night. You didn't just miss seeing the Big Tact. Actually, you're just in time. The show is about to begin.
Bohl starts to pull off magic trick at Kansas
Come one, come all, step right up to Amazing Al's Magic Show.
PETER ROBERTS
Watch closely as Al Bohl, the new Kansas athletics director, who is nationally renown for making thousands of rabid fans appear inside cavernous football stadiums, waves his arms in the air, wiggles his fingers and — poof — good things happen.
happen.
Case in point: when Bohl arrived at Fresno State the athletics department was in shambles. He waved his arms, clicked his heels, and five years later the school had witnessed back-to-back football bowl games and a softball national championship.
Now the magic show has come to Kansas and Bohl already seems to be in prime form. He pulls a rabbit out of a hat, waves his hands, and then he makes a quarter disappear, only to have it reappear behind a freshman's ear. Geez, this guy is good!
1
"What should I do next?" Bohl asks confidently.
communally "Give us beer in Memorial Stadium!" screams a throng of students.
And about coach Terry Allen's speeding ticket garnered while driving his daughter to school last week; just talk to Bohl and I'm sure he can make that disappear with a simple phone call.
"Alright then," Bohl says. He waves his arms, mumbles some witchy words and calls upon the spirits of Stifler and John Belushi. BAM, the sky parts and frothy barley-based beverages pour from the sky. Presto, beer is allowed at KU football games. This Bohl guy is amazing!
The truth is this: Bohl is rebuilding an entire university athletics department. A few of the magic cards are already in place.
You want the Backstreet Boys singing the national anthem at games? Sorry, but Bohl likes real music. He'll find a better band.
5
It's not quite that easy, but Bohl said he's confident he could sway Chancellor Robert Hemenway to overturn the University policy forbidding alcohol on most campus locations. Just how confident is he?
He's willing to try anything. You want to get some friends together to form a student tunnel to usher the football team onto the field before games? Al Bohl can do that.
You want moonwalks on Campanile hill and plastic noodles in the student section? He can do that too.
He has a new football staff full of winners. He has a young volleyball team with a great coach, a soccer team that is about to have its breakthrough season, a softball team that surprised the Big 12 Conference last year and men's basketball is still taking care of business.
"I believe I'm going to be successful in that. That's something I know that I must get done," Bohl said at football media day, as part of his drive to at least allow booze in the stadium parking lot for pregame tailgating.
If successful — and Bohl believes he can get it done by the Sept. 1 season opener against Southwest Missouri State—his next trick will be putting fans in the stadium.
Bohl has a lot of tricks up his sleeve and all of them involve winning. The man is a winner.
He won't lose at Kansas

"Layaway now for summer"
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
Alcohol a possibility at Memorial Stadium
Right now, the University only allows alcohol in designated areas. Alcohol at Memorial Stadium could conflict with University policy not athletics department policy. The University policy is still under consideration.
Alcohol is involved in Allen Bohl's plan to revitalize the Kansas football program. Bohl, who was hired as the Kansas athletic director this summer, wants to allow fans to drink alcoholic beverages while tailgating outside Memorial Stadium.
Bohl is determined to see weekly sell-outs at the about 51,000-seat stadium, and he said tailgating and a party atmosphere at games were key to reaching that goal.
According to Doug Vance, sports information director, Bohl wants to promote the concept of tailgating responsibly. Bohl is waiting for the University to determine its stance on the policy so he can begin to talk about possible changes.
Bohl is working on an atmosphere that includes tailgating and the attitude that, on the afternoon of a home football game, Lawrence is the place to be in Kansas.
"You're in the midst of covering Kansas football when things are going to be extremely different." Bohl said at the annual media day for football coaches and players.
Jana Bradfield, Lenexa senior,
said that allowing alcohol before
games would help.
"It might help increase attendance because people can drink outside the stadium instead of having to do it at home or at the bars."

Soccer turf hangs tough
By Jason Hwang Kansan sportswriter
If the turf on SuperTarget field stays healthy, Kansas women's soccer players won't have to be bused to any of their home games this fall.
SuperTarget Field had problems in the past during the soccer season. Last year, although the field was re-sodded, Kansas had to play two games at the Blue Valley District Activities Complex in Overland Park and one game at the Olathe District Activities Complex. The Kansas Credit Union tournament also had to be moved out of Lawrence.
Christy Tolin, media relations assistant for the Athletics Department, said the field had drainage problems and the grass began to die. The field opened in October 1995.
Phil Grom, a KU groundskeeper who maintains SuperTarget Field, said maintenance staff
members routinely kept up the condition of the field.
"We've tried to maintain this field every day." Grom said.
Darren Cook, director of facilities, said extreme heat and poor soil contributed to problems with the field's condition.
"Bluegrass turf is beautiful in perfect weather conditions," Cook said. "Unfortunately, when the weather gets hot, the turf cannot take the heat and just wilts. If it rains a lot, the water that goes under the grass just stays. So the grass wilts."
The water collects beneath the field because it was built on top of clay instead of rich soil. Traditionally, clay is waterproof and not very fertile. The water then seeps through the field and soaks the playing surface.
Cook said the department could have bought better turf, such as Bermuda grass. But because of the tight athletic
"We've tried to maintain this field every day."
Phil Grom KU groundskeeper
budget, they were forced to use cheaper, lower-quality turf. Over the past several years, the Athletic Department spent between $30,000 and $40,000 to maintain the field.
Despite past problems, Cook said the field was ready for play.
"Up until two weeks ago, the field was in very good condition," Cook said. "We were very proud to maintain this field to its best. There are some brown spots due to the heat stress and the fungus."

Intramural sports cut out entry fee
By Kevin Flaherty Kansan sportswriter
One of the biggest changes for this year in the intramurals world is the absence of entry fees, which last year averaged about $30 per sport.
But signing up for a team and not playing could be costly this year, as forfeit fees have been reintroduced after being absent in recent years. Forfeit fees will be $10 per game, and if a队 doesn't pay the fee by the time of its next game, it is removed from that particular sport.
Another change is the new intramural program manager, Eric Schreiber. Schreiber said he thought the waiving of entry fees and the reinstatement of forfeit fees would help increase student
participation.
"I believe that the new plan will work," Schreiber said. "The lack of fees will ensure that the opportunity to take advantage of intramurals is always there and the forfeit fees will stop teams from signing up and bailing out."
Schreiber is also open to suggestions for new events. One of the ideas floating in is "Battle of the Beet," a type of tug-of-war game that garnered huge support when he was at Northwest Missouri State.
There are seven fall intramural team sports currently open for participation, including sand volleyball and floor hockey. Individual sports also are available, including tennis singles, golf, bowling, 8-ball pool and racquetball.
Tony Chan, Elgin, Ill., sophomore, looks forward to the upcoming season.
"They have pretty much all of the main sports I like to play," Chan said. "The only thing I might like to see is some running, possibly cross country sort of events."
Flag football and sand volleyball both hold meetings on Sunday, Aug. 26, and play begins on Sept. 3.
If you would like to be active in intramurals and make some money while doing so, intramural leagues are looking for referees. Go to the intramural office at 208 Robinson or call 864-3546 for more information.

Cubs inspire dreams hopes of anxious fans
Cubs lovers divided on teams chance at the World Series
By Ryan Greene Kansan sportswriter
As a Chicago Cubs fan, Adam Spore had a summer unlike any other in his life. Behind the left field bleachers just outside Wrigley Field, Spore lived out a childhood dream.
"We spent a lot of time on Waveland Avenue this summer waiting for home run balls," Spore, Geneva, Ill. sophomore, said. "It was a blast. The excitement we saw this summer is a type that has not been seen before. This is the most excited I have been about Cubs baseball in my lifetime."
Spore has been a Cubs fan since he was in diapers, and the summer that his team has had in 2001 has him very excited about this fall and the end of the Major League Baseball season. But Spore is concerned about keeping up with the Cubs' race in the National League Central after having spent the summer in Geneva.
"I will most likely use the Internet as well as WGN," he said.
WGN, a Chicago-based station that is nationally syndicated, broadcasts about 80 Cubs games and 80 White Sox games a summer.
This has been a dream summer for the Cubs.
Statistically, Sammy Sosa is expected to surpass career highs in every major category except home runs. As of Aug. 15, Sosa was batting .308 with 43 home runs, 115 RBIs and 99 runs scored.
The team has pulled off this feat with a roster filled with mostly cast-offs and aging talent,
such as Rondell White, Jeff Fassero, Tom Gordon and Michael Tucker.
Second-year manager Don Baylor has been the glue holding everything together. However, Baylor has been constantly criticized in Chicago, in the papers and over the airwaves for sticking with older veterans and not playing young top prospects such as Corey Patterson, Carlos Zambrano and Roosevelt Brown.
Trades just before the deadline last month set this Cubs summer apart from less memorable ones.
When the Cubs were originally shunned by Fred McGriff, who refused to nix his no-trade clause with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the team went ahead and acquired Michael Tucker, Tucker, who began his career with the Kansas City Royals, had been a hot prospect his entire career, but never reached his full potential.
About two weeks after that deal, Fred McGriff canceled his no-trade clause and joined the Cubs just in time for a 3-game series with the rival St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs pulled off a steal in acquiring McGriff, trading two minor leaguers, Manny Aybar and Jason Smith. Fred McGriff could be the most important key in the stretch run because of his ability to give Sammy Sosa some protection at the third spot in the batting order.
MacPhail then pulled off a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers to acquire David Weathers, a 31-year old right-handed reliever to aid a tiring bullpen comprised of crafty veterans, as well as a young flame-thrower named Kyle Farnsworth, a native of Wichita.
Fans around Chicago give different predictions about how far the Cubs can take it this year. Some believe this is a team of destiny, and with all the deals MacPhail pulled off, it is headed
"It was a blast. The excitement
we saw this summer is a type that has not been seen before. This
is the most excited I have been about Cubs baseball in my lifetime."
Adam Spore Geneva, ill. sophomore
to its first World Series since 1908. Others, however, think the pitching staff will not be able to hold up and will fold, resulting in either an early entry from the playoffs or no play-off appearance at all.
"This team is not a team of destiny. They just have a great pitching staff, the Crime Dog (Fred McGriff) is helping in the cleanup spot and the team made some awesome trade deadline moves." Spore said.
He also said he believed that the bat of Fred McGriff would determine how far the Cubs go into the post-season.
This summer has indeed been magical on the North Side of Chicago. Fans like Spore are hoping that this is the team with the instinct, pitching and timely hitting to finish the summer with a parade down Michigan Avenue.

Morale: Team looks for fresh start
CONTINUED FROM 1B
In addition to interviews, the players have been encouraged to play basketball and dodge ball together, anything to keep them interacting away from the football field.
Players have also been watching game films with different position coaches and players. The new perspective was intended to supply a more complete understanding of the game.
"I was watching some films with Marcus Rogers," running back Reggie Duncan said. "He just pointed out some things that they do that I can look for."
With UCLA and Wyoming on the non-conference schedule, the 'Hawks will need all the help they can get to avoid their fifth-straight losing season. Further complicating the situation is that this year's team will feature a new quarterback, running back, two offensive linemen and as many as six newcomers starting on defense, as well as a new offensive scheme.
"Everything's different about this team." said senior receiver Harrison Hill, a four-year starter. "We've got the new coaches, a new offense. It's just totally different around here."
Hill and the receiving corps make up the one known commodity on the Kansas squad. Hill and fellow seniors Roger Ross and Termaine Fulton combined for eight receiving touchdowns and nearly 65 percent of the team's catches last season.
“Our receivers will be our strength,” Allen said. “And we'll figure out a way to get them the ball.”
Who will be distributing the ball is still in question.
Sophomore Zach Dyer, who emerged from spring as the No.1 quarterback, still has the job, but redshirt freshman Mario Kinsey continues to challenge.
Both are athletic quarterbacks who will be as dangerous with their legs as they are with their arms.
Allen has said he would like a solid No.1 starter by the beginning of conference play.As for other positions,he would like to at least have a clear top two by the start of classes Thursday.
8.
Whether it's Dyer or Kinssey call signals, Reggie Duncan will line up as tailback.
Duncan emerged last year as a freshman against Colorado, taking over for an injured David Winbush to rush for 44 yards on a touchdown-scoring drive, including the score from six yards out. He finished the season fourth on the team with 207 yards.
With a secure starting role, Duncan said he feels more comfortable than last year. He also said he is in the best shape of his life, demonstrated by a 40-yard run on the first play from scrimmage on Saturday morning.
Up front, Kansas will have to replace two linemen on both offense and defense. Ervin Holloman and Dwyer return in the middle on defense, but

both ends will have to be replaced.
The defense must recover from a late-season collapse which saw the squad surrender an average of more than 530 yards in losses to Texas Tech, Nebraska, Texas and Iowa State.
Not yet two weeks into practice, Allen said his team has a number of kninks to work out.
With all the talk of change at Kansas, one constant remains, the pressure on Allen to lead his team to a winning season.
With a new athletics director who carries a reputation for revamping football programs, Allen's fifth season at the helm could be filled with pressure.
"The only pressure I feel are the expectations we put on ourselves to be successful," he said.

From crew to Kung Fu, club sports relieve stress
By Laurie Sisk Kansan staff writer
Sometimes joining a club sport is all about meeting people with common interests. Sometimes it's about honing lifelong skills in a particular sport. Sometimes it's about making new friends. But for many KU students, joining a club sport is a great way to relieve stress and put the pressure of school work behind them for a few hours a week.
Igor Shkolnik, past president of the KU Kung Fu Club, said learning Tai Chi in his club was a great way to ease his mind and forget about everyday problems for a while, while picking up valuable self-defense techniques.
Elizabeth Hamby, president of the KU Women's Soccer Club, said the club helped her get through stressful times.
"It focuses on the harmony of the mind and body," Shkolnik said. "In some respects, it is a way of relaxation and meditation."
"When all else was going wrong, I could come to practice, forget it all for a couple of hours and have fun," said Hamby, a fourth-player with the club.
The club goes to the national tournament each year, and plays teams such as Kansas State, Missouri, Washburn and Pittsburg State.
Jared Coffin served as president of the KU Men's Soccer team last year and said his team was a competitive, intense group.
"KU Men's Soccer is a nationally-ranked club team traveling both regionally and nationally," Coffin said, "Last year, trips took us to lots of Big 12 schools, as well as Austin, Texas, for the national tournament."
The KU Ice Hockey Team competes with other clubs across the country. Bryan Luhman, club
president, said inexperienced hockey players could participate as a manager or serve on the practice squad. He said the team competed twice a month from mid-October to March and practiced twice a week in Overland Park.
"The team is fun," Luhman said, "You get to meet people from all over the nation as well as people from Canada. We get to travel to other schools and cities like Chicago, and if we attend nationales we get to visit the East Coast."
Jessie Bird, president of KU Women's Lacrosse, urges newcomers to check out the club.
"To join, you don't need any experience," Bird said. "We have players that played in high school and some that have never played the game before."
Bird said that although many players bought their own sticks, equipment was provided.
Fifty to 80 students take advantage of the KU Crew club each year, said president Jeremy Struemph.
He likes the sport because of the team emphasis.
"Everyone needs to work together to make this work," Struemph said. "In football, basketball and other team sports, one person can make a team, but in crew, all the people in the boat have to work as one in order to do well."
Struemph said 90 percent of KU rowers had no experience before joining the club.
Mike Jones, president of Men's Ultimate, also known as The HorrorZontals, is trying to spread the word about the emerging sport of Ultimate Frisbee, a mix of Frisbee and several other sports.
started playing in college."
"Ultimate combines elements of soccer, basketball and football," Jones said. "It is a sport that probably all our active members only really picked up when they
The club competes in several out-of-town tournaments and conducts its own annual tournament, "Fool's Fest."
Ben Coles, interim director for KU Cycling, said the club offered a wide variety of activities from elite, national level competition to fun, local recreational rides.
Coles also said anyone interested in learning to race was welcome.
"There are some of us who are highly competitive and race every weekend to advance our cycling careers," Coles said. "But the majority of the club is just geared to going out and riding bikes."
Coles boasted his club as the only club or NCAA Division I sport at KU to have won a national title in the last 10 years. In 2000, Jed Schneider won the Collegiate Cyclo-cross Championship.
KU also offers both men's and women's rugby. Brent Zluticky, president, said the men's team typically had about 50 active members.
"There are many reasons to join the rugby club," Zluticky said, "It is a great way to stay in shape, you get the opportunity to travel and gain leadership experience and there is an amazing sense of camaraderie between teammates."
He said rugby was one of the most physically demanding sports around.
Other sports, such as badminton, bowling, fencing, wrestling and chess are open to students. For a complete list of club sports and contact information, go to http://www.ukans.edu/services/sport-orgs.shtml.

Former'Hawk enters WNBA
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
Five athletes from the Big 12 Conference,including one Jayhawk,were included in the 2001 WNBA draft,making them part of one of the most touted recruiting classes in the league's five-year history.
Former Jayhawk Jaclyn Johnson was the 42nd overall pick as she went to the Orlando Miracle in the third round. Johnson led Kansas in scoring last season with 16.1 points per game. She also led the team in rebounds, averaging 7.70 per game, along with 2.12 steals per game and 0.9 blocks per game.
Kansas finished ninth in the conference with a record of 5-11 in conference play and 12-17 overall.
After helping their team to a fifth-place finish in the Big 12 last season, Missouri teammates
Amanda Lassiter and Marlena Williams are also members of the WNBA community. Lassiter, an All-Big-12 first team selection in
2001, was chosen in the first round by the Houston Comets, the four-time defending league champions. Williams was chosen by the Indiana Fever late in the third round.

Johnson: drafted in the third round
Lassiter was
the team's leading scorer with an average of 19.1 points per game. She also led the team in steals with 98, in blocks with 64 and was second in total rebounds with 197. Williams backed her up with the team's second-highest point total.
Although Texas A&M finished last in the 2001 Big 12 standings, forward Jaynetta Saunders went to the Cleveland Rockers in the second round.
Saunders led Texas A&M with 21.8 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.
Texas A&M finished 2-14 in the Big 12 and 12-16 overall.
The Minnesota Lynx chose Iowa State's Megan Taylor in the fourth round. Taylor was selected to the All-Big-12 second team, and although not among Iowa State's top scorers, she made 87 percent of her free throws last year and contributed 14.4 points per game.
The Cyclones took third in the Big 12 last year with a 12-4 conference record. The Cyclones finished 27-6 overall.

Jayhawks hope to make big splash
By Jeremy Giles Kansan sportswriter
The University of Kansas swimming and diving team has high expectations for the upcoming season. It hopes to place in the top fourth of the Big 12 Conference after finishing last in the previous championships.
"Right now, I would say we are third behind Texas and Texas A&M," said diving coach Kevin Lawrence.
Missouri and Iowa State.
The University of Texas enters this season as the odds-on favorite following three consecutive Big 12 Championships and a third-place finish in last year's NCAA Championships.
"We will be ahead of Missouri, Iowa State and Nebraska," Lawrence said. "But we need to stay healthy."
In last year's Big 12 Championship meet, Texas won the first 17 events, setting meet records for total points, 997.50, and margin of victory, 389, en route to the title. Kansas finished sixth behind Texas A&M, Nebraska,
The key to the diving team's success may be the health and performance of senior Rebecca McFall. As a junior, McFall set team and championship meet highs in one-meter diving, three-meter diving and platform dive. She also holds the school record on the platform with a score of 454.25 at the 1999 Big 12 Championships.
"Rebecca McFall was one of our most consistent performers." Lawrence said.
McFall will lead an injured squad into the fall season. Juniors Kristi Misejka and Patti Stringham are returning from off-season surgeries.
But as the team regains its strength, it hopes to build on last season and move ahead in the
Big 12.
"I think we have a good chance to move up," Misejka said. "We left last season disappointed and not wanting to feel that way again, so hopefully that will be motivation enough."
While they will look to improve their performance record, they led the pack academically. Last year, the diving team and its swim team counterpart had seven first-team Academic All-Big 12 members.
"Academics are our number one priority here at KU." Lawrence said. "Last year, our team GPA was 3.1. We just need to be sure their priorities are straight and that they are on the ball academically."

Young women's golf team looks to juniors as leaders
By John Domoney Kansan sportswriter
Entering her third season as Kansas women's golf coach, Nicole Hollingsworth is hoping that the third time is a charm.
After her first two teams both finished last in the Big 12, this year's edition of the jayhawks even featured a conference championship.
"As a coach you don't talk about that a lot." Hollingsworth said of the Big 12 championship. "However, a lot of people look at that. We want to do better, and we're capable of doing better."
Much of Kansas' fortune rests on its junior class, which will lead the team. The Jawahires are without a senior on the roster with the graduation of Ashely Bishop and Sarah Mahoney last year.
"I think it's always nice to have senior leadership. This year somebody's going to have to step up." Hollingworth said.
Hottingsworth and the Jayhawks are counting on Topeka, junior Tiffany Kruggel, and Martinsville, id., junior, Heathen
Rose elevated her game to new heights during last year's Big 12 Championship to finish in a tie for 28th.
Krugel also showed promise placing 59th in the championship.
Hollingsworth said that , along with Kruggel and Rose, Great Bend junior Kristy Stra ib and Modesto, Calif., sophom re Jennifer Bawanan would form the nucleus of the team.
Hollingsworth is look ing for impact players in her fre shman class of Morgan Arb uckle, Meredith Winkleman and Lawrence Free State High School graduate Laren Phlegar.
The Jayhawks also good news when Jill Mac a junior from Kent State to transfer to Kansas.
MacDonald brings added experience to the squad and has Hollingsworth elated.
"I'm very excited al out Jill coming to play for us bec ause she has a lot of international l experience." Hollingsworth sai d.
Although NCAA rules prohibit the team from having any practices during the summer, the women stayed busy competing in tournaments, practicing and playing rounds ever day in preparation for what is a critical year for Kansas.
Hose said that tour naments were a large part of the golfers' summers.
"We competed in different tournaments all over the country," Rose said. "There a tournaments for amateurs all the time in the summer."
The Jayhawks will use their hard work during the summer to fine tune their games for the competition they'll face, especially in the difficult Big 12.
"It's always a pretty competitive conference that is considered one of the two or three best in the country." Hollingsworth said.
metore Kansas tests its improvement against the rest of the Big 12 at the Big 12 Invitational on Oct. 1 and 2 in Sillwaukee.
The team then heads to the Baytree Intercollegiate in Myrtle Beach Sept. 7 to 9.
Next comes a trip to Big 10 country in East Lansing, Mich., at the Mary Fossum Intercollegiate Tournament with host Michigan State Sept. 15 to 16.
The fall schedule wraps up with the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational at Alvamar Golf Club in Lawrence Oct. 15 and 16.
The Jayhawks know they have a lot to work on when practice begins Thursday, but Rose said the team was anxious to get started.
"We're very excited about the year, and we're going to have a good year." Rose said.

each said they ha heard of Uli-
mate Orange ank knew what it

taking the supple ment.
The NCAA re caused a survey that showed tha 42 percent of college athletes ave used some kind of supplier ent other that interests.
Harrison Hill senior receiver and team co-ca stain, said last week that he di not think any Kansas footb player was using substance that they knew were banned by the NCAA.
Coach Terry Hen said he had spoken with se ral players who did not know what Ultimate Orange was.
Jack Fincham, dean of the School of Pharmacy, said that ephedrine was once used to reduce nasal decongestion.
Fincham said a common side effect was stimulation of the central nervous system, which increases heart rate. The substance has been linked to strokes and heart attacks.
Wheeler died Aug. 3 after he collapsed during a sprinting drill on a Northwestern practice field.
The Cook County, Ill., medical examiner said Wheeler died of bronchial asthma. But there have been reports that Wheeler and some other Wildcats may have used Ultimate Orange, a nutritional supplement that contains herbal ephedrine.
Toxicology tests due in a couple of weeks will show if Wheeler used ephedrine, said Dr. Edmund Donoghue, the medical examiner.
"A team is studying every aspect of the tragedy with the aim of preventing something like this from happening again," Northwestern athletic director Rick Taylor said. "We're looking into everything."
Northwestern players reported to camp in Kenosha, Wis. on Thursday. Wheeler's family and Northwestern have ongoing investigations into Wheeler's death, and an investigation Thursday about the gruelling conditioning drills they endure.
Wheeler's mother, Linda Will.
Ultimate Orange facts:
Ultimate Orange is an energy supplement available over the counter and sold as an energy drink.
The supplement contains ephedrine, a stimulant that is banned by the NCAA.
Ephedrine stimulates the central nervous system and can lead to increased heart rate.

talked to a number of her son's teammates and has said that Wheeler didn't have to die.
Will has enlisted the help of the Rev. Jesse Jackson and lawyer Johnnie Cochran, Jr., who contend Northwestern wasn't prepared to deal with such an emergency.
Northwestern has furnished Cochran's Chicago law partners with a video tape of the practice that shows paramedics attempting to resuscitate Wheeler.
Coach Randy Walker has agreed not to use the sprinting drill that Wheeler collapsed while performing.

Former'Hawks vie for NBA play
KANSAS

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 9B

Kansan sportswriter
As training camps quickly approach, two Kansas graduates continue to chase their dreams of playing in the NBA.
As of now, former Kansas center Eric Chenowith appears poised to make the New York Knicks through a convincing training camp, but former Jayhawk forward Kenny Gregory will need another team to give him a chance after being released by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
New York picked Chenowith in the second round of the NBA Draft in June with the 42nd overall pick. Slipping into the second round of the draft meant that he was forced to earn his way onto the Knicks squad through his play during the summer.
Chenowith played for the Knicks in the Summer Pro League, a league that NBA teams use to give playing experience to young talent, draft picks and undrafted free agents.
Chenowith said he didn't know what to expect from his experience this summer.
"I had no expectations going in, but I definitely came away a better player," Chenowith said.
Chenowith played in all six of New York's games and averaged six points and three rebounds per game. He said the competition was similar to what he faced in college.
"The competition was weird," Chenwith said. "I played against mostly big, strong guys, but none of them were too good. I
played against guys like Kwame Brown and the Collins (Jason and Jarron) twins, and they didn't impress me. It's going to get tougher when I get to camp."
In joining the Knicks, Chenowith will play for a team which uses its center's rebounding abilities more than its scoring talents.
"I was excited when I went to New York because I knew they needed help at center, and my game fits their team," Chenowith said. "Coach Van Gundy is an extremely hard worker. Plus, the guys have been great. Even a guy like Latrell Spreewell has stepped forward and been friendly."
With less than two months remaining until training camp opens, Chenowith said his goals haven't changed.
"I just want to make the team and sign a contract, simple as that," Chenowith said.
Gregory went undrafted in June, but the Timberwolves gave Gregory the chance to play on its Summer Pro League.
Rob Babcock, director of player personnel for the Minnesota Timberwolves, said Gregory wasn't able to convince the team of his worth.
"We brought Kenny in to work out before the draft and in our Summer Pro League, but he will not be invited to training camp," Babcock said.
Gregory could not be reached for comment, but
Babcock said he believed that Gregory would explore his options in the NBA, in
the newly-formed National Basketball Developmental League, or in Europe.

Rowers prepare for national success
The 2001 Kansas women's rowing team hopes its experience will propel the program to the next level this year.
After finishing last season with a No. 23 national ranking, coach Rob Catloth thinks this year's squad has a strong chance of qualifying for the NCAA Championships in the spring.
"Last year, we had the depth to be able to compete with anyone, but the top end of our team wasn't always that great," said Catloth, who is heading into his sixth season with the 'Hawks. "We have been on the edge of making into the NCAs for several years, and we have the talent to do that this year. We just need to get over that hump."
The top Kansas eight-boat from last year featured several younger rowers, which Clay Center senior Bonnie Dodd believes could be an advantage this season.
"I think we've realized what it is going to take to make it into the NCAAs," Dodd said. "We are going to have to improve our boat speed if we are to have a chance. I'msure Rob will have a new set training exercises for us to accomplish our goals."
Catloth said it was hard to predict how this season would unfold until practices began for the fall season. More than 2,000 recruiting letters are sent out during the summer to incoming freshman women.
Anywhere from 85 to 120 athletes try out for the team, with about half actually making the squad. They have the opportunity to make the varsity squad by the spring.
The first two or three weeks of the season are used to teach freshmen the basics of rowing. After that, the coaches identify those with potential to make the varsity squad, Catloth said
"The fall season is basically used to get ready for the spring," Catloth said. "People catch on to rowing at a different rate. Someone always seems to come out of the blue and surprises us."
During the fall season, rowers compete in head races, which are basically time trials on rivers. Rowers, starting the course one after the other about 15 seconds apart, navigate three miles of river.
"We do a top to bottom during the fall," Catloth said. "The freshmen work on fitness training, and the more experienced rowers work to get the kinks out of their form."
Dodd said she expected Spivey senior Dana Parsons to lead the top eight-boat this year. She was a member of No. 1 varsity boat, which finished sixth at the NCAA Central Region Championships last spring.
"Dana has always been a positive influence and good person to look up too," Dodd said. "Although, everyone on our squad contributes in their special way."
The Kansas women's rowing team begins practice once school begins, with three to four hours of work every day at Clinton Lake. The coaching staff will decide who is cut from the squad in the middle of September. The first fall meet n Sept. 29 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Par putt propels golfer to first PGA championship
The Associated Press
In his first time contending for a major, Toms played it conservatively on the decisive 18th hole and made it pay off with a 10-foot par putt to win the PGA Championship in dramatic style and deny Mickelson the major he so badly craves.
DULUTH, Ga. — David Toms showed Phil Mickelson how to get it done yesterday.
MONDAY,AUG.20,2001
With only a one-stroke lead and one hole to play, Toms decided to lay up short of the water on the 490-yard closing hole, the longest par 4 in PGA Championship history, and take his chances with his putter.
Toms snatched the lead with a hole-in-one from 243 yards on Saturday. He will be remembered for a 10-foot putt that gave him his first major and a final-round 69 that broke the 72-hole record for major championships.
After Mickelson's 30-foot birdie putt stopped 2 inches short of going in, Toms confidently rapped in his putt for par.
He finished at 265, breaking by two strokes the record first set at Royal St.
It didn't let him down.
George by Greg Norman in the 1993 British Open and later matched by Steve Elkington, who beat Colin Montgomerie in a playoff at the 1995 Riviera.
Mickelson still doesn't have a major, but no one can question his heart.
He played with courage and skill and made only one mistake on the back nine, but it cost him the major he covets. A three-putt from 50 feet on the 16th hole gave Toms a one-stroke lead, and the 34-year-old from Louisiana never gave it back.
"I just felt it was my best way to make 4," Toms said. "That's what I had to do, and it worked out just fine."
Taking his second shot on the final hole, from 210 yards away, Toms put his fairway metal back in the bag and played it safe with a wedge, laying up 90 yards short of the green.
"I certainly — certainly tried hard," he said.
Mickelson will have to carry that burdensome label of the "best player never to have won a major" for eight more months. His next chance is the
Along with winning $936,000 and the prized Wanamaker Trophy, the sixth victory of Toms' career earned him a spot on his first Ryder Cup team.
Mickelson is now 0-for-34 in the majors since he turned professional 10 years ago. It only seems longer because of his success — several PGA Tour victories as an amateur, 19 in all, second among active players to only Tiger Woods.
The only thing missing is a major.
Masters.
On the 15th hole, the scene of his dramatic ace the day before, Toms deposited this tee shot in a bunker and blasted out weakly to 20 feet. From the first cut of rough, Mickelson used a 60-degree sand wedge to chip his ball toward the hole, and it dropped in the heart.
It was the seventh time Mickelson had gone into the final round of a major within two strokes of the lead.
Mickelson took two steps, pumped his fist toward the ground and for once, didn't flash that gee-whiz smile that usually accompanies his great shots. He was all business, locked in
on winning his first major.
And just like that, it slipped away.
Mickelson caught a break when his tee shot went right for the third straight time, only to bounce out of the trees into the fairway — albeit 198 yards away. He hit the green, but knocked his 50-foot birdie putt about 6 feet by the hole.
Steve Lowery had a 68 and finished three strokes behind at 268 — and just two strokes short of making the Ryder Cup team.
He missed the putt on the left side to make bogey, and never got another chance.
"Stop! Stop!" he cried.
Toms' victory knocked Tom Lehman out of the top 10 in the standings. Curtis Strange will announce his two captain's picks this morning.
Then Phil finally flinched
Mark Calcavechia had a 65, the best score yesterday on an Atlanta Athletic Club course that finally was firm and fast. He tied for fourth with Shingo Katayama, who had more adventures with the water and closed with a 70.
Woods denies slump after finishing 30th at PGA
The Associated Press
DULUTH, Ga. — Tiger Woods claims he's not in a major championship free fall.
His results might show otherwise.
His results show once in April. Woods has failed to finish in the top 10 in the year's final three majors, finishing 12th at the U.S. Open, 25th in the British and tied for 30th in the PGA Championship yesterday.
He wore his traditional final-round red shirt, but Woods' flashy game wasn't present in the final round at Atlanta Athletic Club.
Instead of gunning for his third straight PGA title, Woods was just struggling to stay below par, with more groans and moans than roars from those following the golfing great.
Woods took yet another off week in stride.
round in every single tournament," he said.
"If you want to play this game for a long period of time, and I may be playing this game as long as Arnold (Palmer) has been playing—into my 60s and 70s competitively—I don't think you can beat yourself up over every single shot and over every single
"What you can do is learn from it," Woods added. "That's what I've done in the past and I will continue to learn more from my good and bad — more so when you play bad."
Woods has now finished out of the top 10 in five straight tournaments — a first for the game's all-time money leader.
"I've been blessed to have played as well as I have for two years, and on top of that I've had a lot of good breaks." Woods said. "When you get the breaks going your way, they seem to accumulate and you seem to take advantage of them."
Woods, who needed two long putts Friday over his final few holes just to make the cut, began the day at 1-under par and teed off three hours behind the final pairing of David Toms and Phil Mickelson.
Still, the crowds built to 10-deep along the first fairway, many hoping to see Woods make some kind of charge. A sign hung around one man's neck that said "Woods for President."
"I came out to see him shoot a 60 so everybody
After driving it in the rough on No. 1 and saving par, Woods bogeyed No. 2 and it was clear no low round was on the horizon.
will they're never safe no matter how far they are ahead," said Fred Alley of Greensboro, N.C. "If he shot a 60, it would scare the whole field."
No dice.
He finished the front nine the same place he started — at 1-under. Woods then hit his tee shot in the sand on No. 11 and threw his club after his approach shot fell 30 yards shy of the green and he boveged.
Normally long and accurate off the tee, Woods had only one of those components the last four days. His average driving distance was 316 yards, but Woods managed to hit just 32 of 56 fairways, a 57 percent clip.
However, Woods refused to say he was in any kind of slump.
"It's part of playing sports," Woods said. "You can't have everything going your way all the time, especially in this sport. It's pretty fickle."
Cornejo leads Tigers to defeat KC Royals
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Nate Cornejo earned his first major-league win and Jose Macias hit a two-run single as the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 4-3 yesterday.
Cornejo (1-0), a combined 16-3 at Triple-A Toledo and Double-A Eric before he was recalled by the Tigers earlier this month, was 0-1 with 15.30 ERA in two previous big-

league starts. But he stopped the Royals on five hits in 6 1 3 innings, allowing two runs with three walks and three strike-outs.
He retired 10 straight and 15 of 17 before Luis Alicea hit a solo homer with one out in the seventh.
Matt Anderson allowed a run in the ninth before getting his 15th save in 16 chances.
Chad Durbin (1-4) gave four runs — one earned — and seven hits for the second complete game of his career. Durbin was hurt by shortstop Neifi Perez's error in the fifth, which helped the Tigers break a 1-all tie.
After Bobby Higginson was safe on Perez's one-out error, Tony Clark reached when his weak ground up the first-base line stayed fair as Durbin let it roll. Robert Fick then hit a drive that went off center fielder Carlos Beltran's glove — it was ruled a single — to load the buses.
Randall Simon followed with a tiebreaking groundout and Macias singled through the middle to make it 4-1.
Joe Randa hit an RBI double to give the Royals a 1-10 lead in the first.
The Tigers recovered with Clark's runscoring groundout after Damion Easley doubled and Higginson singled in the home half.
Notes:
- Durbin hasn't won since his other complete game July 28 at Oakland, a span of four starts.
Tigers first-base coach Juan Samuel served his one-game suspension in the aftermath of the Aug. 10 brawl at Kansas City.
After a 3-33 road trip, the Royals open a 13-game homestand, their longest of the season, tonight against the White Sox.
The Tigers are just 5-13 in August after winning two of three from the Royals.

Rain no damper on Winston Cup
The Associated Press
BROOKLYN, Mich. — Sterling Marlin has been the best Dodge driver all season, so it was only fitting he gave the automaker its first Winston Cup victory in 24 years.
The two-time Daytona 500 winner passed Bill Elliott with 53 laps to go at Michigan International Speedway, and won when a heavy shower halted the scheduled 200-lap event Pepsi 400.
"We'll take them," said Marlin, who ironically last won in a race of the same name, at Daytona in July 1996.
Neil Bonnett got the last previous victory for Dodge in Ontario, Calif., in 1977. The automaker returned to Winston Cup racing this season after a 16-year absence.
Marlin beat Ricky Craven back to the finish line at lap 156 when the caution flew for rain, and the cars ran six laps under yellow before NASCAR called the race. An earlier shower at the halfway point had forced a 1-hour, 45-minute stoppage.
Craven finished a career-best second, with Elliott third. Matt Kenseth and Johnny Benson rounded out the top five.
"I kept looking in my mirror and I saw Ricky coming." Marlin said.
"It was raining and I was thinking,
'Man, they've got to call it,' because it was getting slick out there."
Marlin's win — the seventh of his career — completed a sweep for car owner Chip Ganassi yesterday. Ganassi driver Bruno Junqueira won the CART race in Elkhart Lake. Wis., earlier in the day.
Despite the long victory drought, Marlin remained confident in his ability.
"I never doubted myself," he said. "I knew we could get the job done if we could get some stuff to do with. I felt in my heart that I could still drive a race car as good as anybody."
Ricky Rudd's blown engine brought out the second caution, at lap 121, and all the leaders except Jeremy Mayfield pitted. Elliott changed two tires and came out behind Mayfield while Marlin chose to take four, putting him back in seventh.
Elliott passed Mayfield for the lead on lap 129 and pulled out to a 2-second advantage. But with the fresher tires, Marlin steadily worked his way through the field and closed quickly on Elliott.
He made two attempts to pass before finally pulling abreast of his fellow Dodge driver on the
frontstretch on lap 147. Marlin took the lead in turn 1.
"The first time I tried to pass him,
I didn't catch him in the right place
on the track," Marlin said. "The last
time I caught him, I got a good run
up off turn 4 and just got on by."
Craven took second from Elliott four laps later, and he was gaining on Marlin when the rain came.
"I think we were within five laps of getting there," Craven said. "It would have been exciting. I would have liked to have had 10 more laps to race him."
Rudd and Rusty Wallace appeared to have the fastest cars, but Rudd's engine went sour just before the delay and Wallace's did the same shortly after the race restarted.
"It always seems like you have problems when you're running good," Rudd said. "When you're not having a good day, nothing seems to break."
With those two out of the way, and with favorites Jeff Gordon and Dale Jarrett mired deep in traffic, it almost assured a surprise winner.
Many of the teams had crewmen posted at the NASCAR command post in the garage, watching the weather radar for the approaching rain. The pressure of an early finish
provided some of the best racing of the day, with cars dicing two- and three-wide for position.
Mark Martin was conserving fuel and leading when the first rain shower forced NASCAR to stop the race at lap 100. He stayed out when most of the other leaders had to pit. When the rain briefly intensified, it looked like he might snap his 42-race losing streak.
But the rain stopped, and the track was quickly dried to set up the frantic finish.
Gordon finished eighth, while Jarrett had a flat left-rear tire with 55 laps left and dropped back to 37th. Gordon leads Rudd, who wound up 42nd in the field of 43, by 298 points in the series standings.
"You can't control when you're going to have problems and they're going to have problems," Gordon said. "You've just got to make sure that you keep coming home on the lead tap with as few problems as possible."
NASCAR tried to start the race about 10 minutes early because of approaching rain but didn't quite make it, with sprinkles hitting the track as the cars took the track for pace laps. The rain forced the field to make about 10 extra laps before the green flag waved.

Earnhardt Jr. wears new safety device
The Associated Press
BROOKLYN, Mich. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. wore a head-and-neck-restraint system in the Pepsi 400 yesterday, six months after his father died of a skull fracture in a crash at the Daytona 500.
It's the first time Earnhardt Jr. has raced with the safety device in his brief Winston Cup career and came two days before NASCAR is scheduled to release a report on the fatal accident involving Dale Earnhardt Sr.
The elder Earnhardt died of a fracture at the base of his skull after his head was whipped forward when his car hit the final-turn wall at Daytona on Feb. 18. He didn't use a restraint system and, like his son, opted for an open-faced helmet.
A majority of NASCAR drivers use full-faced helmets.
Jade Gurss, a spokesman for the younger Earnhardt's team,
said last-minute adjustments had to be made to the device to make it more comfortable.
Gurxs said Earnhardt used the Hutchens Device in practice Saturday, the first time he tested it.
"He liked it," Gurss said. "There's about six or seven different areas of adjustments on the device, so we've got to work on those to make it better for him."
Gurss said Earnhardt Jr.'s decision was made after at least three drivers asked him to try the device.
"I can say there's a couple of us that have suggested it to him because we care about him," Dale Jarrett said Saturday.
"There's two guys right now that drive this sport, and that's Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr. And we want to keep those guys around here."
Schumacher teams up with Ferrari and wins Hungary's Grand Prix
Gurss said Jarrett, Gordon and Jeff Burton spoke with Earnhardt Jr. about the restraint system.
The Associated Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary — Michael Schumacher won his fourth Formula One championship and matched Alain Prost's record of 51 Grand Prix race triumphs by driving his Ferrari to victory at the Hungarian GP yesterday.
With teammate Rubens Barrichello finishing second, Ferrari also won the constructors' title for the second consecutive year.
Schumacher, the defending Formula One champion, started from the pole and never relinquished his lead except for brief intervals after two pit stops.
air over the steering wheel in jubilation.
Schumacher lifted both fists into the
"Compliment," Ferrari team director Jean Todt told Schumacher in Italian over the radio as he took the checkered flag.
"It's amazing," he said. "I don't have the words to tell you how wonderful it is to work with you guys. I love you all."
The 32-year-old German, winner of seven of 13 races this season, moved into a second-place tie with Prost — who retired in 1993 — on the all-time list with four Formula One championships. Juan Manuel Fangio leads with five.
"When I started in Formula One, all these great names were so far ahead of
"We had a great weekend. I got the pole, I got the victory, I got the 51st victory to share with Alain and I got my fourth championship. It's a bit too much for me to take." Schumacher said.
me, I never thought at the time of catching up with them. But after a couple of races, I noticed that I could compete with them."
In winning the race for the third time — his other victories were in 1994 and 1998 — Schumacher secured the title with four races left in the season.
By collecting 10 points for the win, Schumacher raised his season total to 94 points and took an unbeatable 43-point lead over McLaren-Mercedes driver David Coulthard, who finished third.
Ferrari matched the record of 11 drivers' titles held by McLaren. Ferrari leads the series with 11 constructors' championships.
Until Schumacher's title last season, no Ferrari driver had won the championship since Jody Scheckter in 1979.
Schumacher's other titles came in 1994 and 1995, with Benetton.
The numbers confirm Schumacher's supremacy and he demonstrated it over the 77 laps on the tight, twisting, Hungaroring circuit. He made no mistakes in the sweltering heat and cruised home.
Coulthard got off to a slow start from the second position and Barrichello slipped past him on the outside before the first corner.
After 10 laps, Schumacher was one second ahead of his teammate and two seconds ahead of Coulthard. Five laps later, the gap grew to five and seven seconds, respectively.
The margin increased steadily until Schumacher made his first pit stop on lap 28. He came out in third place, trailing Barrichello by 11 seconds.
The Brazilian in three laps later, leaving Coulthard in the lead, until his pit stop. Coulthard came out behind Schumacher but ahead of Barrichello.
By lap 33, Schumacher was 14 seconds ahead of Coulthard and 16 seconds ahead of Barrichello.
The three leaders all made their second stops for fuel and fresh tires between laps 53 and 55 and Coulthard again ended up behind Barrichello.
Schumacher's lead stayed under 10 seconds until the end. He finished 3.3 seconds ahead of Barrichello and 3.9 ahead of Coulthard.
Schumacher's younger brother, Ralf, was fourth in a Williams-JMW, Mika Hakkinen was fifth in the second McLaren and Nick Heidfeld was sixth in a Sauber.

Victory against Bears boosts hopes for season
Incoming players show strong scoring speed in opener
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas soccer team opened its season with a 5-1 exhibition victory over Southwest Missouri State yesterday at Super Target Field.
After trailing 1-0 early, Kansas scored five unanswered goals, four of them in the second half, en route to victory in front of a large crowd including new athletics director Al Bohl.
"It was a total team effort," head coach Mark Francis said. "We're pretty happy with how it went the first game."
The Bears started the scoring in the 29th minute, when forward Mary Litvan poked one past Jayhawk goalkeeper Sarah Gonzalez to take the early lead.
Freshman forward Amy Geha盯 the score with a breakaway goal in the
41st minute. She added another in the 74th minute, completing her impressive debut.
"I thought all the incoming players did very well today," Francis said. "It's not easy your freshman year to come in and play right away. A lot of times it takes a while to adjust, and I thought they all did so very quickly."
The win leaves the Jayhawks optimistic about the season ahead of them, despite being ranked seventh in the Big 12 Conference preseason poll.
Sophomore defender Amanda Williams and freshman forward Monica Brothers scored in the 51st and 52nd minutes, respectively, both on powerful kicks past the outstretched arms of opposing goalkeeper Lexie Stormo. Senior forward Hilla Rantala finished the offensive showcase with a goal of her own in the 80th minute.
"I'd rather be picked seventh than first," Francis said. "If we finish seventh this year, I will be
disappointed."
The Jayhawks hope to improve on their 7-11-2 record with a talented incoming class, which includes two transfers from a strong University of Nebraska program.
"Lacey (Woolf) and Brooke (jones) have played at this level before," Francis said. "They come from a program that's used to winning. They bring that kind of mentality to us which is something that we need."
Francis feels the team has several strengths, despite half the players being new to the program.
"One of our strengths is depth. You can't be successful in our conference without depth." Francis said. "I think our overall team speed this year is very good. That was a big focus on our recruiting this year. You can't coach speed."
Another advantage the Jayhawks have is the return of home games to SuperTarget Field.

Wildcats' lineup ready for season
Roberson primed, team confident coach Snyder says By Michael Sudhatter Special to the Kansan
After senior Jonathan Beasley completed his college career with a 35-21 victory over Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl, the Wildcats' search for a new quarterback began.
Bill Snyder, Kansas State football coach, said sophomore quarterback Ell Roberson was the No. 1 quarterback as of Aug. 11. However, Snyder said that there was a close race for the quarterback who will get the nod at the season opener at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
"Ell is our number one quarterback and Marc (Dunn) did a nice job in the spring and closed the gap," Snyder said. "Both had very fine summers and they will both be very competitive."
The Wildcats have plenty of experience in the backfield because of the senior duo, running back Josh Scobey and fullback Rock Cartwright. Scobey, who scored 16 touchdowns for K-State last year after playing two years of junior college football, said he wanted to be part of a program that was building a new tradition.
"A lot of people asked, 'Why do you want to go to Kansas State? Go to OU, go to Nebraska, go to Colorado,' and those are places with great tradition," Scobey said. "But I wanted to come here and establish something that I could say I helped do. I want to say that I was part of Kansas State's first Big 12 championship and first National Championship."
The senior offensive line of Thomas Barnett, Andy Eby and John Robertson will protect the line of scrimmage for Scobey and Cartwright.
Punt returner and wide receiver Aaron Lockett will return with preseason All-
American punt return status from several news publications. A Tulsa native, Lockett said he was welcoming the challenge of playing road games at Southern California and Oklahoma on Sept. 29.
"We want to get a little consistency going." Lockett said.
"Playing at Oklahoma gives me the opportunity to play in my home state in front of a lot of fans, but it will pretty much be another game, our first Big 12 game," he said.
On defense, the Wildcats return only three starters: senior free safety and captain Jon McGraw, senior linebacker Ben Leber and sophomore linebacker Terry Pierce — the 2000 Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year. Leber said this year's rematch in Norman would take on extra meaning for Kansas State after two losses to the Sooners.
"I know that every opponent is equal and that you prepare for them all equally, but we want to avenge the loss," Leber said.
wnite two of the Wildcats' marquee matchups take place in the first month of the season, Kansas State — ranked 13th in the Associated Press poll— will Colorado, Texas A&M and rivals Kansas and Missouri. They will travel to Lubbock for a game against Texas Tech, which played a strong game in a 28-23 loss last season in Manhattan. In November, the Wildcats will play road games at Iowa State and Nebraska, where the team hasn't won since 1968.
McGraw said he was confident the Wildcats would be prepared for their season opener.
"I know that coach Snyder does a tremendous job of preparing us, and I know we will be ready for that first game," McGraw said.

Sooners select starting quarterback
The Associated Press
Nate Hybl bests Jason White for leadership position
NORMAN, Okla. — Bob Stoops made his long-awaited decision Thursday, naming Nate Hybl as Oklahoma's starting quarterback.
"the bottom line is, we feel Nate has earned it." Stoops said after the team's morning practice. "He's done well and better (than White) in some areas. He's had fewer plays as well. It's still a very positive situation."
Hybi, a junior, beat out sophomore Jason White in the competition to replace Josh Heupel, who led the Sooners to the 2000 national championship.
Oklahoma opens its season
Hybl had a strong showing in the final full-scale scrimmage Wednesday night, completing 24 of 29 passes for 179 yards including a 35-yard touchdown. White was 11 of 18 for 141 yards with one TD.
Aug. 25 against North Carolina.
"Jason has been great about the competition. They both made each other better," he said.
Stoops said he looked at several factors, such as execution, consistency and leadership.
Offensive coordinator Mark Mangino said he and quarterbacks coach Chuck Long discussed the situation after the scrimmage Wednesday night, then met again Thursday morning before talking with Stoops.
"Right now Nate has just kind of been feeling a little more comfortable at the position and things are going just a little bit
smoother for him than they are for Jason," Mangino said.
"We've got the utmost confidence in Jason. If something happened to Nate or whatever the circumstances could be, we're comfortable with Jason, too."
Hybl and White have each been in the system the past two years. Hybil won the No.2 job last season, then practiced with the first-team offense during spring workouts.
The two have shared time with the first team during two a-day workouts, although Mangino said before those practices began that Hybl's status as the backup last season gave him a slight edge.
In the three preseason scrimimages, Hybl completed 70 percent of his passes, for 550 yards, with two touchdowns and one
interception. White completed 65 percent, for 434 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
Stoops had said after the final scrimmage that the starter will have earned the job.
"All our players earn it every day we practice," he said. "Every time we scrimmage, if someone plays better than another guy, then he deserves an opportunity to play."
"So though maybe it would have been easier on everybody to name a guy before last spring, I don't believe that's been our method. Our method has been about earning your way, regardless of what position you're at."
Simms confident as quarterback for Texas
Despite past errors, top starter ready to take championship
The Associated Press
AUSTIN — The No. 1 on Chris Simms' jersey says it all: The New Jersey boy came to Texas to be the best quarterback the Longhorns have ever had.
Never mind that the statistics say that title already belongs to the guy sitting on the bench behind him — Major Apple-white.
Simms, the golden boy with the rocket left arm and just seven career starts behind him, has taken firm hold of the No.1 quarterback spot for the fifth-ranked Longhorns.
"Some people don't believe in me," Simms said. "I believe in me."
The Texas coaches surely do, too.
Despite a rough start to the 2000 season, Simms made a lot of believers out of those who watched him throw for 623 yards and five touchdowns in
consecutive wins over Kansas and Texas A&M to end the regular season.
His 383-yard, three-touchdown performance against the Aggies wowed a national television audience. "We made Chris Simms who he is after he exploded against us," said A&M safety Jay Brooks.
This season hasn't even started and Simms is already having to deny rumors that he would turn pro if he has a stellar year.
"That's ludicrous," he said. "Even if I had the greatest year in the history of college football. There's no way."
If statistics were the only standard, it would be Applewhite taking the snaps and basking in the Heisman hype.
The fifth-year senior owns or shares 40 school records, including most career passing yards (7,974), most career touchdown passes (57) and most consecutive games with a TD pass (19).
With a good season this year, Applewhite could have become one of the handful of college
passers to reach 10,000 yards for a career.
But two career knee injuries and Simms' emergence as a budding superstar have pushed Applewhite, the All-Big 12 quarterback as a sophomore two years ago, to the sideline.
Simms has been looked upon as the Longhorns future since he got to campus in 1999.
The son of former NFL quarterback Phil Simms, he was the marquee player in a heralded freshmen class.
The Simms-Applewhite rivalry heated up last year when coach Mack Brown rotated the two quarterbacks for several games.
The team struggled to develop chemistry, and Brown, stung by criticism for the way he handled his QBs, nixed that idea for this season. Brown named Simms the starter back in spring drills.
Despite the confidence from his coaches and his teammates, Simms is still trying to shake off some of last season's gaffes.
He passed for 1,064 yards last season with eight touchdowns,
but also threw seven interceptions, three of them returned for TDs. He threw four interceptions in last season's Holiday Bowl loss to Oregon.
Stats like those, and his relative lack of playing time, have caused some to cackle over the Heisman talk.
Even the Austin American-Statesman newspaper labeled him a "pretender" for college football's biggest individual award.
Still, Simms says he's learned a lot from those mistakes and is prepared for a good season.
"I didn't realize (last year) how much stress I was under," Simms said.
The quarterback rotation took its toll last season and Simms says he's much more comfortable now.
Simms seems much more relaxed now. He's in control and aiming at a national championship.
"We've got our eyes on it," he said.

Friends compete for tailback job
Two Tigers players say their friendship has not suffered despite rivalry
The Associated Press
MEXICO, Mo. — It would fit that soon after arriving at Missouri, Zack Abron would find Jain Gilmore.
Both football players, both tailbacks, both blessed with a name that starts with every kid's favorite letter. They ended up the best of friends almost right away.
"Off the field, he's been home with me," Gilmore said of their spring vacation to Tampa, Fla. "We just chilled out. Went on the beach, went to the clubs. Just had fun."
Gilmore insisted it's no different now, as the pair are practicing and admittedly competing this week at the Tigers preseason camp for the starting tailback job in the Missouri backfield.
"We really haven't talked to the coaches about it," Abron, a sophomore from St. Louis, said Tuesday, adding that his friend was a strong player.
Gilmore, a senior, said, "We know we're competing against each other, but we're not letting that affect our friendship. That never comes up in our conversations."
Both are different physically compared to last season, when they combined to run for 1,134 yards and 12 touchdowns. Gilmore dropped almost 20 pounds before this year's spring practice began, while Abron has slimmed down to 220 pounds.
Both said their weight loss had had different effects on the field.
Gilmore, a former Mr. Football in Florida, arrived as a heralded recruit in 1998 and isn't worried about making defenders miss as much as just running through them.
"I'm just faster and quicker on my feet," Abron said. "I can read the defense much better than I
"We know we're competing against each other, but we're not letting that affect our friendship."

could last year and that helps me out with my runs, to know where I need to make my cuts at."
Beyond the speed, his weight loss means Abron enters the season in probably the best shape of his life, said first-year coach Gary Pinkel.
Only a sophomore, Abron has three years left at Missouri and came out of spring practice listed ahead of his friend on the depth chart.
Pinkel, however, isn't about to pick between the two at this point.
"The players will determine by the way they practice if they are ready to play at this level," he said. "If they are, we'll work out a substitution plan for a player. They have to prove to us and prove to the team that they deserve to play."
Gilmore, the team's top returning rusher and scorer, is fully aware this is his last preseason camp, with his final season of college football just a few weeks away.
Pinkel's arrival meant that Gilmore, like a fair number of the Missouri veterans, needed to learn a new offensive system for the third time in as many years.
But that, Gilmore said, made his final year at Missouri exciting.
"I have the ultimate goal. I want to get to the next level," he said. "I know it's here now and if I want to make it happen, I've got to have a great season this year."
Ankle injury could hamper Buffaloes' marquee player
Colorado's star rusher might miss opener
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado's leading rusher in each of the past two seasons could miss this year's opening game because of an ankle injury suffered in an Aug. 11 scrimmage, team doctors said.
Cortlen Johnson, who has been plagued by minor injuries for the past two years, sprained his ankle.
Athletic department spokesman Dave Plati said Johnson's ankle may heal early enough for him to play the Aug. 26 home game against Fresno State.
An MRI showed the sprain was lower in the ankle than originally thought. Plati said sprains were less severe if they were

rest of the season. Still, he managed to rush for 155 yards to close the season at Nebraska, the fourth-highest total by a rusher visiting the Cornhuskers.

With Marcus Houston missing practice last week with a groin injury and Vince Reed out with an ankle injury, sophomore transfer Chris Brown could see increased playing time. He was listed at the top of CU's depth chart with Bobby Purify second.
Nebraska rebuilding after last year's losses
Fourth-ranked team will depend on young talent
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Last season was supposed to be Nebraska's time to climb back on top of college football.
The Cornhuskers opened the season at No. 1 and were favorites to become just the second team to go wire-to-wire to a national title.
Instead, the Huskers sputtered in their two biggest games
of the year losing at Oklahoma and Kansas State within a three-week span late in the season

tukkers
"It's kind of been a bitter taste the last two or three years," senior quarterback Eric Crouch said. "We've got a great home schedule set up and we've got a great team this year."
and ended with a forgettable 66-17 blowout of Northwestern in the Alamo Bowl.
There is reason to be positive at Nebraska, which starts this season ranked fourth. Crouch is healthy after offseason shoulder surgery for the second straight year and the Huskers play eight of their 12 games at home, including their biggest challenges.
But there are major concerns. Only five starters are back on offense and seven on a defense that struggled last year.
All-American center Dominic Raiola and linebacker Carlos Polk are gone, along with All-Big 12 rush end Kyle Vanden Bosch and I-backs Dan Alexander and Correll Buckhalter.
Still, coach Frank Solich said he felt Nebraska had enough quality young players to regroup and make a run this year as long as they improved and played consistently.
"If that doesn't get done, we won't run for any Big 12 championship or any national championship. We'll be an also-ran." Solich said. "We're hoping to be a better football team."
The Huskers had potential last season, but fizzled in losses at Oklahoma (31-14) and Kansas State (29-28) that left them out of the hunt for a second straight Big 12 title. The Huskers — who won national crowns in 1994 and 1995 and split the title with Michigan in 1997 — ended up 10-2 and ranked No. 8 in the final AP Top 25.
"There were things last year that stood out and hurt us a lot," Crouch said. "Things we believe that are traditional in Nebraska football weren't there for us last year."
Both the Sooners and Wildcats have to come through Lincoln this year, a big reason why the Huskers are the favorites to win the Big 12 North, even with
out some key players from last year.
Junior John Garrison (6-foot-3, 300 pounds) is the front runner to replace Raiola at center, but the Huskers still need to fill in holes at right guard and tackle. Jon Rutherford (6-3, 300) can play anywhere on the line and has healed from a torn knee ligament suffered last November, leaving just one spot open.
Tackle Dave Volk (6-5, 300) and guard Toniu Fonoti (6-4, 340) will continue to anchor the left side.
Buckhalter and Alexander, who shared the backfield the past two seasons, are in the NFL, leaving the 1-back position to junior Dahran Diedrick.
Solich describes Diedrick, a 6-foot, 225-pound junior, as a back who can run 30-35 times a game and still be strong. Diedrick played in 11 games last season with 6.4 yards per carry (212 yards) and three touchdowns.
All-Big 12 tight end Tracey Wistrom (19 catches, 314 yards, 5 TDs) is back for his senior season, but Wilson Thomas is the only wide receiver with any career receptions — he has one — and will take over for Matt Davison. John Gibson will likely replace Bobby Newcombe at wingback.
Defensively, the Huskers lose their top three tacklers in Polk (90), Randy Stella (58) and Vanden Bosch (56). Stella, who would have been a senior linebacker, was kicked off the team for violating undisclosed team rules.
"There were things last year that stood out and hurt us a lot. Things we believe that are traditional in Nebraska football weren't there for us last year."
Eric Crouch Nebraska senior quaterback
The Huskers do have depth and experience at rush end with Chris Kelsay and Demoine Adams and tackle with Jeremy Slechta, Jason Lohr, Casey Nelson, Patrick Kabongo and Jon Clanton.
The secondary remains mostly intact and Solich is confident in his linebackers despite losing starters Polk and Stella. Jamie Burrow takes over for Polk and Mark Vedral and Scott Shanle will start on the outside.
"I was pleased with how far they came," Solich said. "I like the fact that it will be an aggressive defensive football team. They will get after you."

Wimbledon champ falls in RCA Championships
INDIANAPOLIS — French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten advanced to the RCA Championship final yesterday by beating Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic 1-6, 6-3, 6-2.
After a one-hour break, Kuerten had to get back on court to face Pat Rafter for the title. Kuerten's semifinal was scheduled for Saturday but was postponed by rain.
It was the second straight week Kuerten was forced to play a semifinal and final on the same day.
The Brazilian beat Tim Henman and then Rafter to win a tournament in Cincinnati last Sunday.
In Indianapolis, Ivanisevic cruised
through the first set but struggled after that.
His booming serve failed him during the last two sets, with just 44 percent of first serves going in.
At one juncture, he threw his racket, breaking it, and then tossed it into courtside flowers.
Rafter, who lost to Ivanisevic in the Wimbledon finals in July, won his semifinal Saturday against Marat Safin 6-3, 5-7, 7-6.

After Gant scored when first baseman Paul Konerko made an error on Johnny Damon's bouncer, Manuel came out of the dugout screaming at Fichter, apparently about ball-and-strike calls, and was ejected.
Crew chief Joe Brinkman came in from third base to try to calm Manuel down.
Bench coach Joe Nossek took over for Manuel.
Shoulder soreness keeps Cub's pitcher on the bench
PHOENIX — Kerry Wood's return to the Chicago Cubs' rotation has been delayed after the right-hander experienced soreness in his shoulder.
Wood, who hasn't pitched since Aug. 3 because of tendinitis in his right

Curse may have blown up Volkswagen featured in film
BOSTON — The Curse of the Bambino hasn't stopped a 29-year-old Navy veteran from visiting every baseball park in the country, even though his 1970 Volkswagen bus burst into flames near Fenway Park.

legendary curse, which some believe has kept the Red Sox from winning the World Series.
The van, named "Breeze" after the vehicle driven by
Kevin Costner in the film Field of Dreams, had already been to 20 ballparks.
"Breeze went out in a blaze of glory," said Richardson, who bought the vehicle for $2,400 in California about three months ago.
He managed to save most of his belongings, including about 20 bobble-headed slugger dolls and a baseball cap/ice cream dish from every stadium he's visited.
Richardson also got to see Friday's night game against the Orioles — from seats he called "amazing."
"My friends and I were sitting where Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones were sitting in the movie," he said.

TRACK & FIELD Top runner warns athletes against performance drugs
GENEVA — Many track stars will die as a result of taking performance-enhancing drugs, world 1,500-meter champion Hicham El Guerrouj warns.
"In the years to come, many athletes will die because of doping," the Moroccan said. "Believe me, there will be more premature deaths. We will see in 20 or 30 years who took drugs and who didn't. Look what happened to Chelimo."
He was referring to former 10,000-meter world record-holder and Olympic silver medalist Richard Chelimo of Kenya, who died Wednesday from a brain tumor.
Asked if he meant that Chelimo's death was linked to taking performance-enhancing drugs, El Guerrouj replied: "I'm not saying anything. I am simply pointing out that not long ago Chelimo is a healthy athlete. Now, at 29. he's dead."
El Guerrouj's comments came after world 5,000-meter silver medalist Ali Saidi-Sief of Algeria tested positive for the banned steroid, nandrolone.
Saidi-Sief faces a disciplinary hearing and risks a two-year ban and being stripped of his medal.
"He has tarnished Algeria's image, and that upsets me after everything that athletes like Nouraddine Morceli have done for Algeria," "El Guerrouj said.

Hurricanes may be in lead in race toward Rose Bowl bid
The Associated Press
Miami may be more than just the best team in the Big East Conference — the Hurricanes may be the best team in the country.
As the 2001 season unfolds, though, the biggest question facing the 'Canes involves coaches, not players.
With the departure of Butch Davis, Miami opens the season under 53-year-old Larry Coker, a career assistant making his head-coaching debut.
U
Coker promoted two of his assistants to coordinators — Rob Chudzinski replaces Coker on offense and Randy Shannon runs the defense.
It's rare indeed for a coach to inherit a team many are predicting will contend for the national championship. If Miami wins the title in the Rose Bowl, it would be just the second time a rookie coach captured the national crown. Michigan's Bennie Oosterbaan did it in 1948.
The coaches may not be experienced, but the players are, starting with Heisman hopeful quarterback Ken Dorsey, All-American safety Edward Reed and standout offensive tackles Bryant McKinnie and Ioaquin Gonzalez.
"Yes, it's a little unique to be in the position I'm in," Coker said. "It's a little intimidating to think about it in those terms, but we have to make sure we stay focused on what we have to do week to week."
In all, 14 starters return from last year's 11-1 team that finished No.2 after beating Florida in the Sugar Bowl.
Miami's tough schedule starts with the season opener at Penn State on Sept. 1. The road gets bumpier, with games at Florida State and Virginia Tech. There's also a Sept. 15 home game against Washington, the only team to beat Miami in 2000.
The Hokies, also 11-1 last season, will operate without
Michael Vick at quarterback, but tailback Lee Suggs returns after leading the nation with 28 TDs. He, too, is a Heisman contender. Junior Grant Noel is set to start at quarterback.
While Miami should win the Big East, don't count Virginia Tech out of the national title picture. With a soft nonconference schedule — UConn, Western Michigan, Central Florida—and its biggest test at home against the Hurricanes on Dec. 1, coach Frank Beamer's team is talented enough for another title run.
Joining Coker as first-time coaches in the Big East are Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia and Greg Schiano at Rutgers. Schiano was Miami's defensive coordinator last year.
Pittsburgh, led by All-American wide receiver Antonio Bryant and a tenacious defense, looks to be stronger than a year ago, when the Panthers were 7-4.
Walt Harris, wooed by Ohio State, returns for his fifth season and has 18 starters back, including 10 on defense, led by end Bryan Knight and safety Ramon Walker. David Priestley, who threw for 829 yards and five TDs last season, moves in as the starter for the graduated John Turman.
Boston College will rely on tailback William Green (1,164 yards, 16 TDs). Brian St. Pierre moves in at quarterback for the graduated Tim Hasselbeck, and will have a top receiver in Dedrick Dewalt (17.8 yards per catch in '00).
"We did win games before Mike was here and we're going to win games when Mike is gone."
Syracuse coach Paul Pasqualoni, entering his 11th season, has to be on the hotseat after consecutive five-loss seasons.
Lee Suggs
Miami tailback
With one of the nation's toughest schedules — vs. Georgia Tech in the Kickoff Classic, at Tennessee, Virginia Tech and Miami, and home to East Carolina and Auburn — the Orangemen could lose their streak of 14 consecutive winning seasons.
There's no clear-cut starter at quarterback, but freshman Cecil "The Diesel" Howard could have an impact. The defense is led by Dwight Freeney, who had 13 sacks despite playing just seven games in '00.
Rodriguez, who returns to his alma mater to replace Don Nehlen, will shake things up in Morgantown with a spread offense he helped devise with Tommy Bowden at Tulane and then Clemson. Senior Brad Lewis will open at quarterback. Avon Cobourne is back after running for 893 yards last season. Nine starters are back on defense, but they must adapt to a new attacking scheme which features an eight-man front.
Temple is playing its last season in the Big East after the Owls were kicked out by the league earlier this year. Coached by Bobby Wallace, Temple could pull a few surprises. They are led by quarterback Devin Scott, running back/returner Tanardo Sharps and a defense that has 10 starters back.
Rutgers, which fired Terry Shea after five seasons and just 11 victories, is looking for its first winning season since 1992.
Heisman creates blitz of ads
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — When Oregon State quarterback Terry Baker was in the middle of his Heisman Trophy-winning season in 1962, his publicity campaign consisted of a short news release the school sent out each week.
"I was unaware of anything being done," Baker said.
In June, Oregon boosters donated $250,000 to plaster quarterback Joey Harrington's image on a 10-story building in Manhattan, where the Downtown Athletic Club awards the Heisman every year.
Today, the marketing machine has grown far beyond what the soft-spoken Baker could have imagined 39 years ago, and the machine's arrival in the Pacific Northwest might bring its first Heisman since Baker.
Oregon State didn't want to be outdone, so it spent $100,000 to promote tailback Ken Simon-
ron. A CD-ROM was issued, complete with Simonton highlights and interviews ("My name is Kenneth Paul Simonton ... see you when I see you," as the introduction goes).
Simonton has his own logo—a silhouetted Simonton behind a shield, flanked by the words "All heart. All warrior." He's also got a Web site.
"If we're successful and Kenny has a good year, then he's got a chance," Beavers coach Dennis Erickson said. "But it's almost getting out of hand as far as all that stuff is concerned."
Oregon's "Joey Heisman" billboard earned rebukes from several newspapers, including The New York Times' editorial page, for its supposed excess.
But the attention is paying off. Harrington also made the cover of ESPN Magazine and could be the most famous quarterback in America, despite statistics that don't measure up to rival Jonathan Smith of Oregon State.
"If we're successful and Kenny has a good year, then he's got a chance."
Dennis Erickson Oregon State coach
"It's a little embarrassing, to be perfectly honest," Harrington said. "But I know it's for the good of the university, and it's great publicity for the state."
Simonton said his biggest thrill of the campaign so far was meeting Baker earlier this summer when they did a photo shoot together.
"Me and Terry was real cool," Simonton said. "That's been the most fun out of this whole Heisman nonsense."
Defense coaches face hurdles
The Associated Press
Michigan coach Lloyd Carr has witnessed a shift in football philosophy, not only in the Big Ten but across the country.
Offenses are increasingly spreading receivers across the field with no-huddles and multiple formations. And defenses are scrambling to match up.
"What Joe Tiller brought to this league when he started playing full games with four wides and no backs, and a year ago with the offense of Northwestern, has certainly changed college football," Carr said. "I think the defensive coaches are up against it and until they come up with something that's going to stop the avalanche of points, I think we're in an era where defense doesn't necessarily win championships. It's sad to say," he said.
Coaching styles and strategies
Paterno enters the season one win shy of tying Bear Bryant for most victories by a Division I coach.
must change and Joe Paterno, coming off just his second losing season in 35 years at Penn State, is ready to make some, too.
Pre-season favorite Northwestern, meanwhile, must cope with the tragic death of Rashidi Wheeler and the aftermath that questions the school's conditioning regimen.
Northwestern shared the title last season with Purdue and Michigan, averaging 34 points a game. The Wildcats should again feature one of the country's most potent offenses with 10 returning starters led by quarterback Zak Kustok and running back Damien Anderson, who gained 2,063 yards and finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy balloting last season.
but the death of Wheeler, a senior safety, during preseason conditioning runs, and the scrutiny the program faces, will test the Wildcats like no opponent.
Illinois hopes quarterback Kurt Kittner can put it back in contention after an off-year; Minnesota's Glen Mason, a candidate at Ohio State, will try to pull off a first by taking the Gophers to a third straight bowl game; Michigan State welcomes back tailback T.J. Duckett, who gained 1,353 yards last season; Wisconsin returns quarterback Brooks Bollinger and preseason league defensive player of the year Wendell Bryant.
With the BCS title game in Pasadena this year, a Big Ten school will need to finish first or second nationally to have a shot at the Rose Bowl.

Beavers and Ducks wage war in Oregon football rivalry
The Associated Press
Oregon State players don't need old-timers on the porches around Corvallis to tell them about the dark days of Beavers football.
Jonathan Smith, the team's senior quarterback, remembers the bad times vividly. He was a redshirt freshman in 1997 when the Beavers went 3-8 to complete an unprecedented streak of 28 consecutive losing seasons.
"They were giving tickets away at Bi-Mart if you spent 25 bucks," he said.
Good luck finding any freebies now.
The Beavers shed their bargain-basement reputation with one remarkable season, winning a share of the Pac-10 title and routing Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl to finish 11-1. If not for a 33-30 loss at Washington in October, Oregon State might have played for the national championship last season.
Despite the loss of some key players, the 11th-ranked Beavers are poised for another run.
But the obstacle that could keep them out of the Rose Bowl
keep them out of this season's title game — is just down the road, 37 miles south on Highway 99.
"There hasn't been such a high in this state like there is right now," Oregon State coach Dennis Erickson said. "It's a fun time."
Oregon, ranked seventh, has possibly its strongest team ever, and a classic battle looms on Dec 1, when the teams meet in Eugene for the 105th "Civil War."
Each team has a superstar leader: Oregon has Joey Harrington, a 6-foot-4 quarterback with a mischievous smile and a quick-strike offense around him; Oregon State has Ken Simonton, a 5-8 tailback who talks big and backs up every word.
They are the faces of college football's latest great rivalry, and the coincidence of both teams being so powerful at the same time has excited fans. For the first time, both schools have presold all of their tickets for the season.
That first day in December may be gray and wet, but those who come bundled up in green and orange slickers won't even notice.
"It really brings the state closer together," Harrington said. "Come Dec. 1, it's going to be torn apart, but it's something to talk about. It's a sense of pride for the state."
For years, the "Civil War" was of little interest to anyone outside
the Willamette Valley, and for good reason.
The state witnessed some awful football beginning in the 1970s, when Oregon State was entering its stretch of futility. The Ducks, for their part, didn't win more than six games a season between 1965 and 1988.
Then Oregon started gaining strength, reaching a peak with the Rose Bowl in the 1994 season. Since Mike Bellotti took over for Rich Brooks as coach six years ago, Oregon has won 49 games, more than any other Pac-10 team. Last season the Ducks reached 10 wins for the first time when they beat Texas in the Holiday Bowl.
The Beavers' resurgence began in November 1998, when they beat Oregon 44-41 in double overtime. Simonton's fourth touchdown of the game sealed the victory in a promising 5-7 season.
When coach Mike Riley bolted to the NFL's San Diego Chargers, Erickson came in and lifted the dark cloud by guiding the team to a 7-5 record. But the Beavers lost their last two games, including the one in Eugene.
"I did not understand the rivalry until we got our rear ends beat over in Autzen Stadium," Erickson said. "Then, when I was walking out, I realized what kind of rivalry it was because people were not saying a lot of nice things to me."
By the time last year's "Civil War" rolled around, the Beavers had climbed to No. 8, while the Ducks — whose only loss was at Wisconsin to open the season — were No. 5. Yet the matchup fizzled when Harrington was intercepted five times and fumbled once in the Beavers' 23-13 victory.
For all their optimism, the Ducks haven't come to terms with the defeat.
"There will be an eye to the Oregon State game throughout the entire season," Bellotti said.
Oregon appears to have the edge this time. They've won 20 straight at home, and running back Maurice Morris — coming off a 1,188-yard season — will complement Harrington well.
Oregon State, meanwhile, lost its top three wide receivers — Robert Prescott, Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh and both defensive ends.
Still, the Beavers, with a rebelious streak reminiscent of Erickson's Miami teams, aren't ready to hand the mantle back to Oregon.
they say when the spotlight's on you, you've got to shine.
"It really brings the state closer together. Come Dec. 1, it's going to be torn apart, but it's."
something to talk about. It's a sense of pride for the state."
Joey Harrington Oregon quarterback
right? That's what we've got to do." Oregon State linebacker Richard Seigler said.
No one epitomizes the new Beavers more than Simonton, whose only scholarship offer out of Pittsburg, Calif., came from Riley.
Last season he ran for 1,559 yards, scored 19 touchdowns and broke the school's career marks for yards rushing and points. Another 1,000-yard season would make him the fifth player in NCAA history with four.
What made last year's team special, Simonton said, was the brotherhood, and it's a feeling that will be hard to recapture.
"We just had a lot of oddballs from a lot of different walks of life," he said. "We really learned to respect each other, to love each other. That's what I miss about last year's team."
The Beavers played their finest football when it counted most in the 41-9 victory over the Fighting Irish on New Year's Day.
"Winning the game, and winning it convincingly on national TV, woke a lot of people up about our program," Erickson said. "It opened up a lot of doors for us recruiting way that we'd never even come close to getting in."
The athletic department has cut a $10 million deficit by more than half the last three years, and an indoor practice facility — like the one Oregon has — is nearing completion. More important is the presence of Erickson, who spurned interest from USC last winter and seems intent on keeping Oregon State from becoming a one-year wonder.
"Our players are very aware how they got to where they're at right now, which is hard work," he said. "They also know that can turn the other way just as fast, because they've seen it on the other side of it."

Committee revamps Hawk Week party
Jayme Uden has had a busy summer. Uden, Hawk Week coordinator, has been scheduling buses, planning tours, getting donations and updating the Web site to organize and promote Hawk Week, the week-long welcome back party thrown each year before classes start.
"The events are about the same this year, but the times have changed," he said. "The dances were made a bit later and we moved the community service event to a Saturday. Last year it was on a week day and we didn't get a lot of people."
This year, Hawk Week carries a Survivor theme, which organizers hope will portray the University as an adventure.
ture," said David Johnston, marketing coordinator for the Kansas Union. Johnston is a member of the Hawk Week committee, a group of 25 members from different campus organizations who plan the week.
"KU is nothing if not an adven-
Although the theme came easily, it took the committee some time to come up with this year's tag line.
"It was going to be 'Conquer KU,' but that was deemed controversial, and then it was going to be 'Survive KU,' but that didn't work either," Johnston said.
They eventually decided on "Jayhawks Unite," which Johnston said was designed to promote KU as a community. It wasn't always this way, he said.
Johnston said recent Hawk Weeks were a far cry from those held when he was a KU student in
the early 1990s. Back then it was called Country Club Week and attendance was mostly greek.
"It was not embraced by all of campus," he said. "We've seen a real effort on the part of the University to make it more of a campus-wide event. They've done a great job involving all the residence halls, scholarship halls, fraternities and sororities."
One of the events, which directly involves people of different groups and living areas, is the Hawk Crawl, a four-location dance that introduces students to KU living environments other than their own. This year, buses will shuttle partiers from the Jayhawk Tower, Wesco Beach, Alumni Place, and the Phi Pi fraternity and Pi Beta Phi sorority houses, the block in which several of the scholarship halls are
Another Hawk Week staple is Traditions Night, where students gather to hear about KU's rich history.
located.
Uden encourages all KU students — not just freshman — to be a part of Hawk Week.'
"Every freshman needs to go through Traditions Night to learn the songs and learn the traditions on campus," Uden said. "It's one of the better programs here."
"There's a misperception that Hawk Week is just for new students," he said. "It's really meant to be a welcome back to old students as well. Any sophomore who comes to KU and thinks he's seen it all is missing out."

Adams course strengthens mind, body
By Mark Hansen Kansan staff writer
Bryan Christensen, Adams Campus coordinator, sports a T-shirt which reads, "No wall is too tall."
However, a 14-foot wall is too tall to scale with bare hands. That is when the groups realize the importance of teamwork.
Saturday morning, the All Scholarship Hall Council worked through three of the Adams campus' 19 stations. The course is about 12 miles southwest of the University of Kansas, near Clinton Lake.
After each station, the group discussed lessons learned with a course facilitator.
The group did the Mohawk Walk, a tightrope-like challenge in which the entire group must hold hands and traverse a thick wire that zig-zags between trees.
attempts to pass the station.
Elizabeth Beavers, Ames, Iowa, sophomore, said supporting her teammates was crucial to completing the task. The group took three
She said the experience should translate into better cooperation on projects this academic year.
"It really makes you work together," she said. "It was a lot of fun."
Dave Rolling, facilitator at the course and KU graduate student, said the real challenge is more mental than physical. He said 350-pound participants have done as well as thinner people.
The Crock Pit station is like going through a cave, said Christensen, pointing to four posts connected in a square by two parallel levels of rope suspended above the ground. He said he told a story to set the rules for each station.
At the pit, he tells groups that crocodiles await their fall, and the teams have only the tools they've found — two boards and two milk crates — to get across.
Group members have to make levers and maneuver their bodies between the ropes and out of the
crocodiles' imaginary snapping mouths.
Christensen said this is one of the toughest of the 19 stations and usually takes about an hour to complete.
The Adams Campus comprises about 220 acres and has been open for 20 years. The land was donated by Boots Adams, for whom the Adams Alumni Center is named. The KU Endowment Association owns the land.
Christensen said the course is mostly self-funded by user fees. This includes $900 to replace a tire on the tractor trailer that transports groups to the sites' stations and to repair damage done by vandalism.
Christensen said about half the groups that came through were affiliated with the University. Other groups include junior high, high school, teams, churches and business groups. He said 5th-grade students were the course's youngest groups and business
groups of 40-year-olds were the oldest. The oldest individual to tackle the course was 72, he said.
He said the course's busiest week occurs just before the fall semester begins — an average of 10 groups have come to conquer the course in mid-August. Typically about one to four groups a week take the challenge.
Christensen estimated between 2,000 to 3,000 people used the course in a year.
The cost is $15 per person.
Events are either from 8:30 a.m.
to 12:30 p.m., or from 1 p.m. to 5
p.m. The course closes in late
November and reopens March 1.
The campus staff also provides hayrides followed by toasted marshmallows.
To schedule, contact Bryan Christiansen at 864-0794.

That's F-A-T. Not P-H-A-T.
As a nation, we are getting fatter. And KU students are not exempt.
Take, for example, the freshman 15.
That's a lot of fat!
The freshman 15 is not a new music group, nor is it one of the latest reality-TV shows.
It is, however, the weight in pounds most students gain during their freshman year in college. The University of Kansas admitted a freshman class of about 6,000 freshman last fall who probably gained 90,000 pounds by the end of spring.
College students are not exempt from the chubby fingers of obesity, even though magazine and television ads shout the message, "thin is in." The freshman 15 is alive and unwell. Some nutritionists say it's probably closer to the freshman 20.
She said
But college students are not the only ones packing on the pounds. Initial results from the 1999 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicate that 61 percent of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. Also, obesity and overweight classifications are not limited to females - a 1990 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey shows 26 million overweight males compared to 32 million females. Eating disorders, like anorexia and bulemia, also are rising in males.

beer, a high-calorie and high-fat diet, decreasing physical activity, no parental guidance and loneliess.
While research continues to stack up evidence in proof of the overweight and obesity epidemic and documents the health risks that accompany it, Americans persist in unhealthy eating habits with little exercise, all the while growing bigger and bigger.
Possible reasons for college weight gain abound - late-night pizza deliveries, fast food, too
Whatever the reason, evidence says lifestyle choices made now could affect people for the rest of their lives.
Lindsay Douglas, St. Louis senior, fell victim to the pizza monster and the freshman 30.
ordering pizza late at night in the residence hall became a tradition. She didn't realize that pizza was taking its toll, nor did she grasp the impact of the 20-ounce sodas she drank in her classes. Each soda packs 250 calories and contains 15 teaspoons of sugar.
Before coming to the University, Douglas had been active in
sports had never
and had never worried about her weight. She said that college was a big adjustment.
"You have so many other things to worry about, you let some things go," she said.
Douglas admits that her favorite pig-out food was McDonalds' double cheese-burger value meal - super-sized.
If she could do it over again, Douglas would splurge once in awhile, but wouldn't make it a daily habit – and she would not super-size.
The scales have rebounded since her freshman days, and Douglas is running eight miles a day in preparation for the Miss Kansas Pageant.
an activity, somewhere to go with your friends. And it was cheap." she said.
Fat-me?
So how do you know if you are overweight or obese? Doctors and dietitians recommend using Body Mass Index (BMI) for determining whether individuals are at a healthy weight, overweight or obese.
Dieting for Dummies, by Jane Kirby, makes BMI calcula
tourabeasy. Here's the simplest way to do it: multiply your weight in pounds by 704.5. Second, take your weight times your height (in inches). Third, divide the weight by the height and you have your Body Mass Index.
A BMI of 19 to 24.9 is a healthy weight. A BMI of 25-29.9 is overweight, and those with a BMI greater than 30 are classified as obese. The higher the BMI, the higher the risk of developing weight-related health problems.
Nature vs. nurture
The age-old question resurfaces in regard to weight gain. Is weight hereditary or is it related to environment? Experts don't always see eye to eye. However, most agree that both factors are involved.
Anne Fletcher, nutritionist and author of Thin for Life, said, "It is true that if you're overweight, you're eating more calories than your body needs to maintain a healthy weight."
But she said she thinks genetic factors and metabolism rate can help explain a person's predisposition to being overweight. However, she said, that doesn't mean you can't do something about it.
Joe Donnelly, KU professor in health, sport and exercise sciences, thinks few people have genetic-inherited obesity. Donnelly, who conducts obesity research, thinks obesity is mostly by choice. He said people are eating too much energy-dense food, but most are not exercising - too much energy is coming in and not enough going out.

Fat: Too much feasting leads to freshman 15
Donnellly said that only 18 percent to 20 percent of the U.S. population exercises.
"Most people know what to do, they just don't do it," he said.
Late-night nite: food and rest.
The workers at the Pizza Hut on Massachusetts Street know one thing: there's a lot of pizza going to the residence halls. Eric Glenn, manager, said weekly sales are down $3,000 when the fall and spring semesters are not in session.
Glenn has 14 drivers on staff to make an estimated 200 weekly deliveries to the campus area. He said 40 percent of his deliveries during the fall and spring semesters are for students.
If students aren't hungry for Pizza Hut, one of 22 pizza joints in town, they can always make a run for the border to the nearest fast-food (or fast-fat) restaurant. Lawrence, a city of 80,000, lays claim to four McDonalds, Sonics and Pizza Huts; three Burger Kings and two Wendvs and Taco Bells.
There are problems with fast food. First, there may be healthy choices, but few people buy them, says, Dieting for Dummies.
Second, whether eating in the car or in the restaurant, customers probably are eating too fast. Researchers have shown that one of the best ways to moderate how much a person eats is to relax and eat slowly. Third, high-calorie and high-fat foods saturate fast-food menus. A Double Whopper with cheese is stuffed with 61 grams of fat and a Big Mac drips 33 grams of grease. Four slices of Pizza Hut's stuffed crust pizza contain more than 1,700 calories.
Beer adds another dimension to weight gain. For most students, the weekend begins on Thursday night because fewer classes meet on Friday. Some students even begin partying on Wednesday
Drinking four days a week is not unusual, some students said - neither is drinking a 12-pack in one sitting. A 12-ounce beer contains about 200 calories - a dozen equals 2,400. For a 175-pound student who is not active, that is more than enough calories for a whole day.
In an informal survey of KU students, 63 percent said they ate too much fast food and pizza during their freshman year and 19 percent attributed part of their weight gain to drinking too much beer. Mammoth-size, please
Portion sizes substantially grew during the 1990s. At McDonalds, you get more for your money if you super-size it. 7-Elevens sell a 64-ounce Double Gulp that has 800 calories. And regular-sized candy bars are a thing of the past –king-size bars fill up store shelves.
A regular-sized Snickers bar has about 150 calories. The "Big One" Snickers bar, touted as being fit for a king, has 500 calories. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups used to be sold in singles, then in doubles. Now, they come four to a pack. The king-size version oozes 28 grams of fat and has a colossal 500 calories.
Michael Fumento, author of The Fat of the Land says big food is harmful.
"First, in and of itself, it provides too many calories for one course or at one time. Second, it motivates other manufacturers and sellers to produce big food. Third, it distorts people's ability to tell what a healthy-size portion is." And, he said, "Finally, people feel obligated to eat everything on their plate, whether they really want it or not."
Eatie killing us
The latest RAND Institute study in June warned that obesity may be worse for a person's health than a lifetime of smoking and drinking.
Roland Sturm and Kenneth Wells, physicians and spokesmen for the study,
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Fact Book for 2000-2001 states, "Obesity has increased by over 50 percent among adults and 100 percent among children and adolescents in just the past 15 years."
said these findings highlighted the need for public programs to reduce obesity rates in America.
According to CDC research, more than two-thirds of American adults are trying to lose weight or keep from gaining weight, but many do not follow guidelines recommending a combination of fewer calories and more physical activity.
Yutaka Kawase, family physician in Overland Park, said he probably tells three or four patients a day to lose weight. Kawase said it was more difficult to treat obesity than treating an infection because prescribe medicine does not make it go away. He also said it was difficult because some patients were personally insulted when approached about weight.
"It's a hard thing. Life habits are difficult to change." Kawase said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that obesity contributes to more than 300,000 deaths each year.
The National Institutes of Health report obese individuals are at an increased risk of illness from hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, respiratory problems and certain types of cancer.
Statistics show that a person who is 40 percent overweight is twice as likely to die prematurely as an average-weight person. Winning the battle of the bulge
Ann Chapman, clinical dietitian in health education at Watkins Health Center, said the weight battle is serious business. She added, it isn't just about appearances - it's about staying alive.
day for different reasons, but many of those are for weight-related issues. Some are referred by their doctors, and others come on their own.
"I see students of all ages,not just freshmen. There seems to be more of a gradual steady weight gain over the college years,"she said.
She said she sees five or six students a
The first thing Chapman does is find basic information, such as what students ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner the day before. She asks similar questions about exercise. She also discusses the importance of good nutrition, the value of exercise, the food pyramid and setting small goals one week at a time.
Students may come to see her on a weekly basis or just for a one-time counseling session, she said. Chapman also teaches a session at freshman orientation on making good choices, which includes a nutrition section.
The University, however, does not require a physical education or nutrition class. Requirements vary, but North Carolina State University requires two hours of physical education and MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe requires two to three hours in health and physical education.
Joe Donnelly, professor in health, sport and exercise sciences, said there had been efforts to persuade the University to require physical education and health classes, but the results were unsuccessful. He said that he would prefer a required "lifestyle" course that would teach physical activity, health, nutrition and leadership. The dynamic duo need not wait
The rescue of the overweight doesn't come from a Batmobile or from someone who flies through the air. Relief arrives in the form of crispy fruits and vegetables and through physical activity.
And it's not magic. It's hard work.
The Food Guide Pyramid, recommends two to four daily servings of fruit and three to five vegetables each day.
and three to five people. "The problem is that most people tend to eat from the top and bottom of the food pyramid," Chapman said. Fats and sweets garnish the peak of the pyramid, and breads, cereals, rice and pasta fill in the base.
The dilemma caused by eating at the top and bottom of the pyramid involves not only nutrition, but also calories. One gram of fat contains nine calories and one gram of carbohydrate or protein has four calories. Therefore, it will take more energy to burn one gram of fat than one gram of carbohydrate or protein.
By eating a nutritional diet and exercising, a person will speed up weightloss efforts by increasing the number of calories burned, Kirby said in Dieting for Dummies.
Tiffany Perez is proof of the benefits of exercise. Perez, Overland Park, was a freshman at the University last year. She said that walking to classes everyday saved her from the freshman 15. Perez actually lost seven pounds her freshman year.
Dara Sims, incoming Olathe freshman, said she was determined to not fall victim to the freshman 15.
She said she worked out often and tried to eat healthy foods. Sims said she doesn't like the greasy taste of fast foods. Instead, she prefers to eat fruits and vegetables.
"I'm not going to stress out about it. I'll just keep on exercising and eating healthy." Sims said.
If she successfully dodges the freshman 15, Sims could lower the freshman weight gain total this year to 89,985.

After financial woes split up its family,KU men's tennis looks ahead
when the men's tennis program was cut last spring, the University of Kansas lost a net full of great players. But more importantly, KU shattered its link with players from across the southern border.
By Mark Hansen Kansan staff writer
The former men's tennis program welded a community beyond borders.
The link in the community was shattered when the men's tennis program at the University of Kansas was cut last spring. That loss as well as the loss of men's swimming and diving was the toughest decision he made in 14 years as athletics director, said Bob Frederick, former athletics director.
The tennis cut was projected to save about $250,000 next year and $1.5 million during the next five years — about 2 percent of the athletics budget
percent of the athletes who stay at the University will still have a scholarship. But less than half of the team's eight-man roster will stay.
Eleazar Magallan, who played No.1 singles for the Jayhawks the past two seasons, is transferring to the University of Florida.
Magallan said the cut blindsided the team.
"We were shocked. But what could we do," he said. "They had reasons."
The athletics department and coach Ross Nwachukwu promised to help the student athletes transfer. Those promises came through.
Team members Pete Stroer and Rodrigo Echagary will be together at the University of Texas, coached by a former KU coach, Michael Center. Alex Barragan will play for Texas A&M.
gam who play Echagary and Barragan have played together since they were 10-years-old in Mexico. Now they are rivals — Echagary will play for Texas and Barragan for Texas A&M.
Echagary already knew about his new coach through many friends from Mexico whom Center recruited and coached.
A half-filled football stadium may have been the men's tennis program's downfall. It may have been Kansas' winter. Or the downfall could have been the addition of four universities in Texas
when the Big 8 changed to the Big 12. It could have been the budget. It definitely wasn't the program. Tennis Circuit
KU's reputation persuaded Echagary to come here.
to come here.
"When you're international, you really don't know where you're going," Echagary said. "It makes it easier to know people where you're going. KU tennis has a long history with Mexican players."
Magallan decided to come here after Enrique Arbaroa beat him in a Mexican tournament, and persuaded him to attend the University.
Since, Arbaroa has represented Mexico in the Olympics and in the Davis Cup.
There were eight players from Mexico in the 1990s.
in the 1980s. Rafael Rangel was the first, from 1987 to 1991.
Rangel came because his father, a KU alumnus and president at a university in Mexico, brought his son for a visit.
A former KU tennis player and coach, Michael Center, then cultivated the link. Center went to Mexico with Rangel, Arbaroa and former player Paul Garvin, and laid the groundwork for an international program.
Xavier Avila, class of '97, met Luis Uribe, another Mexican KU tennis
player at a tournament in Japan and was persuaded to attend Kansas while in East Asia. He played Arbaroa three years before they would be Jayhawk doubles partners while in a singles tournament in the Dominican Republic.
Alexis McKinley, KU class of 1998 and Arbaroa's fiancee, was glad the University had a Mexican connection.

The men's program came close to securing a home at the University, with an indoor facility.
"My single biggest frustration in 10 years was that we didn't get an indoor facility built," Perelman said. "A good portion of the money was ready to go. We were so close. In hindsight, if we had built an indoor facility, it would have been a lot tougher for them to cut the program."
But other University projects took precedence in University approval and land allocation. For example, Anschutz sports pavilion, and improvements to Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium, Perelman said.
He said the best chance was in the 1987-1988 season, right after the men's team won back-to-back Big 8 titles, and when KU won the NCAA basketball championship in 1988.
Perelman was close to former men's basketball coach Larry Brown.
"We were friends," he said. "He was the best man at my wedding. I learned a great deal about coaching from him."
Perelman went on to coach at the University of Tennessee, then he coached professional player Chris Woodruff on the tour for seven years.
"I thought if we had success, things would start to snowball," he said. "I really think that indoor facility would have propelled us."
Perelman and Cen-
coaches raised money for their programs.
He worked with John Hadl of the Williams Fund, to devise a system in which money a program raised could be put directly back into that program, instead of into a collective pot.
"My feeling was if we wanted to be successful at the national level we needed that," he said. "Both programs developed into top 20 teams.
When Perelman arrived, the teams had a part-time coach. The men's team was at the bottom of the Big 8. It ranked as high as 12th in the NCAA during his tenure.
Center followed Perelman as coach and vigorously continued raising money for the program.
But money dwindled.
"From what I understand, after Center left, a lot of contacts weren't kept up,"Perelman said. Money Game
Center said he was shocked that tennis supporters weren't given more time. He said Big 12 officials also were frustrated at the sudden announcement and might require schools that drop a program to give at least two years notice.
"It was a program that was around for

it was around for about a hundred years, and in about a month it's no more." Center said.

said.
"I think that if the chancellor and athletics director would sit down in front of enough people, then I think there would have been a lot of people who would have bellied up to the line," Perelman
Men's tennis has a maximum of four and a half scholarships for a roster about twice that number. The University has about 550 student athletes.
"I don't believe they explored all options, I also believe that they waited for a crisis to act."
John Stauffer Father of former KU tennis player
Richard Konzem, associate athletics director, said the basketball and football programs must carry a heavy financial burden.
"You have to look at your resources," he said. "When you have 20 programs and two make money, you have to make some tough decisions. Basketball revenue is maxed out. While we looked at our potential with a sold-out football stadium, it still doesn't work out. Something's got to give."
Konzem said there's no good way to cut.
"We looked at all the options," he said. "There's no good way to do it. If you do the one-year thing, then you go through a year of turmoil. You can't recruit, and kids transfer when people know you're on the chopping block."
Konzem said that private donations wouldn't have made up the gap.
To Magallan's knowledge, there was not an alumni effort to save the program as there was for men's swimming.
"Looking, quite honestly, there wasn't enough money to sustain it on an annual basis," he said.
The men's tennis program seemed to die quietly, while the swimming alumni were boisterous in last-ditch efforts to save the program. But behind the scenes tennis supporters made moves.
John Stauffer, of Topeka, is the grandson of University donor Oscar Stauffer. John Stauffer's son David was on last year's team.
"There were some people who worked on a proposal, under the assumption that the proposal would be looked at to examine the program," Stauffer said. "It was submitted and summararily rejected.
"I don't believe they explored all options," he said. "I also believe that they waited for a crisis to act."
Stauffer said he intends to discuss men's tennis with new athletics director Alan Bohl.
If the numbers balance, the athletics department could reinstate the program. Easier said than done, Center said. "They cut the arm off." Shortened History, Southern Mination
Team records go to 1888, when the the Jayhawks played Baker in a four-year series. The team became part of the University's Athletic Association in 1903.
The men's program had eight All- Americans, eight NCAA berths including five trins to the round of 16. The team
won Big 8 titles in 1987 through 1989, then in 1994 through 1996 — then came the Texans.
The four schools from Texas increased the conference's media market and offered stiff tennis competition. Kansas dropped to sixth in 1998 and 1999, then improved to fourth in 2000 — but the budget didn't improve
Next season, eight schools in the Big 12 will have a tennis program.
Teams in warm weather climates fare considerably better than schools in colder climates.
Konzem said weather became an issue when the University entered the Big 12.
"The tennis program had not been successful until the eighties," he said. "Now they had a good run in the late eighties and early nineties. Then we were hurt by the Big 12. In our Olympic sports, weather is such a big issue. Six teams in the Big 12 clearly outstrip us in weather

Conege tennis had become an international sport. Is that the mission of the school? To field an international team?" he said. "Diversity is great, but I don't know. We ask, can we rely on high school kids from Kansas to come to our school and succeed in our sports? Can we compete in the Big 12 and NCAA?"
Stauffer said the University did have a stake in having a men's tennis team.
"Should they pursue it? Yes," he said. "It is the primary flagship university of the state. It should be the lead in academics, and all extra-curricular activities."

Building A More
What's Happening?
The Kansas Union is changing again! Since its dedication in 1926, the Kansas Union has undergone no less than 5 major renovations and numerous upgrades. The Phase III Renovation, beginning in 2001, will add many new features and amenities. Input was sought from students, faculty and staff in planning for this final phase of a three-phase plan to update the 75 year old building.
Construction will last a little over a year, as new features will be phased in as they are completed. What does that mean to you? Fewer inconveniences and more services when you need them. Some improvements to the building, such as the new Herb Harris Student Computing Lab and the Hawk Shop convenience store, have already been added Customers can begin taking advantage of these new services right away.
FARMINGHILL HOUSE
The west side of the Kansas Union around 1940.
New Food Court
On Level 3, the food court has already received its facelift. This fall, The Market will open as a bright and lively hot-spot of an eatery, with several new offerings including Asian cuisine, sub sandwiches and even a Burger King Pizza Hut will also relocate from the Hawk's Nest. Finally, Jitter Mug's Coffee Shop will stay open later to offer Einstein Bros. bagels,
Starbucks Coffee and Smoothies for those late-night cravings!
The Jaybowl is Saved
The Jaybowl, which will be closed for the fall, will reopen better than ever. New lanes and improved decor will make this modern hangout a slacker's paradise. The front of the Jaybowl will be transformed into a late night lounge, complete with a stage for live performances. It will take over the tradition of the Hawk's Nest name and turn Level 1 into the best late-night destination for a study break.
Before you know it, the grand, new stair tower will be added, and you will be able to walk over from the garage on the connected catwalk to level 2. Welcome to the new and improved
Garage Connection
KU Bookstore and Mt. Oread Bookshop! More room, giant windows and oversized furniture greet the weary shopper. And more surprises await you in the coming months as we continue to build a more perfect Kansas Union!
What About Burge?
The Burge Union is also changing. New furniture has been added to the much improved decor upstairs. KU Recreation Services will operate a new fitness center upstairs where the Union Tech Center was formerly located (the UTC has moved to the Kansas Union). The Hawk Shop convenience store was added over the summer to the front of the KU Bookstore, and the Crimson Cafe continues to expand its menu. It's an exciting time to visit the Burge Union. Be sure to say Hello to Mr. Burge when you see him.

After the fall of communism, KU professor Paul D'Anieri teaches politics in Ukraine
Calling attention to Ukraine
By Brandy Straw Kansan staff writer
PHOTO BY THAD ALLENDER
Paul D'Anieri, associate professor of political science, taught politics in Ukraine. D'Anieri said he hopes his research can help westerners and Ukrainians understand the state of past and present Ukrainian politics.
Paul D'Anieri spent five years researching and writing his doctoral dissertation about arms control, the United States and the Soviet Union.
Then in 1991, just as D'Anieri was completing his doctoral studies and beginning his career at the University of Kansas, the Soviet Union collapsed. All that hard work seemed pointless.
"I was disappointed that something I poured five years of my life into suddenly seemed uninteresting," said D'Anieri, associate professor of political science.
But, D'Anieri didn't dwell on his disappointment. After the fall of communism, he thought politics in former Soviet Union region had become more interesting and exciting. He turned his attention to Ukraine. Reinventing his career
D'Anieri had an obstacle to his studies -- he did not speak Ukrainian.
Before he left for Ukraine in 1993, D'Anieri studied Ukrainian for two semesters at the University. However, since he already knew Russian, Ukrainian was easy to learn.
Russian, Switzerland was the Bruce Berglund, assistant director of the center for Russian and East European studies, said that choosing to work in Ukraine was a dramatic change for D'Anieri.
"I respect people who choose to do all their work over there," Berglund said. Why the Ukraine
D'Anieri then he hopes his research would help westerners and Ukrainians understand the state of past and present Ukrainian politics.
D'Anieri is intrigued by studying Ukraine, which he thinks is similar to studying the founding of the United States when politics were unstable and unpredictable.
Ukraine has deep ethnic and religious divisions similar to the countries that previously comprised Yugoslavia.
were unstable and important U.S. allies -- it borders Russia and Poland and is close to Germany.
D'Anieri has written a textbook about Ukrainian and Russian relations, Economic Interdependence in Ukrainian-Russian Relations.
"His knowledge of Ukraine's reality is amazingly deep. When you read the book, you can feel that he knows the country and the people."
people."
Elena Kovalena colleague of D'Anieri
Elena Kovaleva, who participated in D'Anieri's Summer Institute for Ukrainian Social Scientists in July 1999, said his book was the most detailed study available of Ukrainian-Russian relations.
"His knowledge of Ukraine's reality is amazingly deep." Kovaleva said. "When you read the book,you can feel that he knows the country and the people."
She said his research of Ukraine was objective, and he described the true state of Ukraine rather than how Ukrainian leaders portrayed it.
Living and teaching in Ukraine
It was about 4:30 in the afternoon as the winter sun started to set in L'viv, a city of Ukraine. D'Anieri had to end class before his lecture was finished because there was no light left for students to take notes or see his writing on the blackboard. The students in his introduction to international relations class always went home early because L'viv State University had neither lights nor heat
But that's how it was in 1993 when D'Anieri traveled to Lviv as a visiting Fulbright Scholar. The economic conditions in Ukraine were so bad that by the time he left in 1994, the Ukrainian currency, karbovanets, was valued at 180,000 to one U.S. dollar. Ukrainians survived at subsistence levels. D'Anieri said Ukraine taught him a lot of lessons, especially patience.
"It was not a very easy place to live." D'Anieri said. "It was sort of like camping."
He said that even basic transactions,such as going to the store for groceries, were difficult. Only raw ingredients were available, such as sugar, flour, milk, eggs, bread and meat.

D'Anieri: Associate professor delves into Ukranian politics
CONTINUED FROM 10C
He can remember asking a colleague if he had plans for the weekend. His colleague said he was going to the village "to do potatoes," which meant he was going to help his family harvest potatoes and would receive some of the harvest in exchange.
D'Anieri said that most faculty salaries could not cover the cost of living, so many faculty members traded their labor for food.
During D'Anieri's stay, his friends cooked a Thanksgiving dinner for him and another American. It was his most thankful Thanksgiving because his friends had little money but managed to make a dinner with all the trimmings, including a pumpkin pie.
Retraining social scientists
Besides researching the politics of Ukraine, D'Anieri also is retraining social scientists so they can train future leaders about democratic government.
D'Anieri said he would like Ukrainians to develop their own internal capacity to study Ukrainian politics.
He said that Ukrainian universities had no division of political science when Ukraine became independent because the universities had studied Marxism under Soviet rule.
Maria Carlson, director of the center for Russian and East European studies, said D'Anieri played a role in Ukraine's transition to become a modern state. Success
One of the faculty members D'Anieri taught has written a textbook on Ukrainian political parties, using the western approach to studying politics.
D'Anieri said his biggest reward was teaching undergraduate students at Lviv State, because it was interesting to see what they've accomplished.
One of his female students has
started a Non-Governmental Organization to foster a women's political movement in Ukraine.
"It's frustrating that none of the big changes one hopes to see ever happens, and I see no prospect of them happening," D'Anieri said, "But, in the individuals I've worked with, I've seen a lot of change."
The students' optimism also affected D'Anieri's life. As a self-proclaimed pessimist, he found that inspiring.
An interest in politics from an early age
D'Anieri grew up in New York during the Watergate scandal. In school he learned about the glory and honor of American politics. Then he would go home and read the three newspapers his parents subscribed to, turn on the TV to the Watergate hearings and learn how American politics were full of scandals and corruption. He felt disillusioned.
These discrepancies motivated him to have a better understanding of politics. As an undergraduate at Michigan State University, he decided to pursue his long-standing interests in international affairs. His work at KU
"There was an enormous gap between the propagandized view of American democracy I got in school and what was in the paper every day," D'Anieri said.
At the University, D'Anieri splits his time between teaching political science and being associate dean of international programs.
D'Anieri teaches Political Science 170, Introduction to International Politics and Political Science 675, Russian Foreign Policy. He said he was probably one of a few professors who likes to teach in the big lecture halls.
"There is something about me that likes an audience," D'Anieri said. "I like concocting a lecture that can explain something very
"There is something about me that likes an audience. I like concocting a lecture that can explain something very complicated in a simple manner." Paul D'Anieri

complicated in a simple manner."
D'Anieri said he is committed to involving faculty and students into international affairs. He said he is working on a program that would help undergraduates experience different cultures by studying abroad or living with a roommate from a different country.
Diana Carlin, dean of international programs, said D'Aneri's international visibility demonstrates the importance of international programs. She said he is a model for what the programs try to accomplish.
Carlin said it was also nice to have D'Anieri around when meetings got bogged down.
"He has a great sense of humor," Carlin said. "He'll do something to get us laughing."

KU lecturer finds time to reflect on his hero
James Grauerholz spem years at Beat Generation ground zero, and had a 23-year friendship with William Burroughs, much of it in Lawrence.
Burroughs, who died in Lawrence in 1997, was a prolific writer who defeated censorship with his signature novel Naked Lunch and pioneered several methods of artistic creation, including "cut-up" texts and shotgun art.
Grauerholz is the director of William Burroughs Communications and the executor of Burroughs' estate. He has edited numerous Burroughs works, is writing a definitive biography on Burroughs and he has found time to teach in the American studies department at the University of Kansas.
Grauerholz's odyssey into the heart of the Beat Generation began when he left Mount Oread for New York City in 1974. He eventually came back.
One thing he missed was a Lawrence lawn beneath the summer moon.
"I missed that in Lawrence if you were partying on a summer night, if the chiggers weren't too bad that week, you could fall asleep on the yard and see the stars," he said. "In general people are permanently imprinted with a love for the place where they came from."
Grauerholz grew up in Coffeyville and came to Lawrence to attend KU. He ventured to New York to pursue a music career and to meet the Beat Generation's living luminaries: Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs.
Burroughs and Grauerholz bonded immediately.

Their intimate relationship led to a lifelong friendship. Thunderbolt in print
Between classes at Field Kinley High School in Coffeyville, Grauerholz received the book that changed his life. An acquaintance handed him Burroughs' Naked Lunch. It was the Spring of 1967, and the novel had been cleared from censorship restrictions the previous year.
"I went home and started reading it, and it was just like a thunderclap, a thunderbolt really. I loved it," Grauerholz said. "It was hysterically funny, and

Propst said reports that Buroughs was isolated in Lawrence were false.
Grauerholz and Burroughs shared similar perceptions.
"People in their 30's don't have the social life William had," he said.
"I missed that in Lawrence if you were partying on a summer night, if the chiggers weren't too bad that week, you could fall asleep on the yard and

I couldn't put it down, and I just immediately got into it."
Wayne Propst, artist, poet and builder in Lawrence, said Grauerholz provided a perfect environment for Burroughs when the two moved to Lawrence in the early 1980s. Burroughs realized it when visiting a friend at a retirement home.
"I remember we went out to Presbyterian Manor, and after that the old man was starting to get cranky, and he caught himself in mid crank. He would realize, 'Hey, I've got a nice home, people who look after me, I can drink and smoke all day long,'" Propst said. "New York is a pretty brutal place even if you're a young person. If he
Grauerholz has accomplishments outside of his work with Burroughs.
"James is an accomplished musician. He's had an artistic life quite separate from William."
"A lot of James' projects didn't spring from Bill and didn't have their genesis there, like music." Propst said.
Propst said that Grauerholz also has innate design skill.
"He would not merely do sketching,but he would build a scaled model of what he wanted to do."he said.
Propst is among Grauerholz's circle of friends from his years as a KU student. The friendships were strong enough to lure Grauerholz and the beat icon to Lawrence. "When I die, I want to be buried in the same coffin as James," Propst said.

Grauerholz: Preserving Lawrence culture important to artist
PHOTO BY THAD ALLENDEI
James Grauerholz is one of the last links between Lawrence and the Beat Generation. Friendships with William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg lead Grauerholz to teach and American Studies course highlighting the works of Burroughs.
Lawrence, Part I
CONTINUED FROM 11C
Grauerholz came to Lawrence in the Fall of 1969 as a 16-year-old freshman honors student. He had tested out of Field Kinley High School and planned to become a philosopher.
Grauerholz spent four years at the University but didn't graduate. He primarily studied Eastern Philosophy
"I wasn't just coming to the University of Kansas, but I was coming to Lawrence," he said. "I knew it was kind of a bohemian place. There was kind of a poet, beatnik, hippie-biker scene, and I fully wanted to encounter all that and join the psychedelic revolution and everything else—all of which I did."
Grauerholz initially visited New York in the spring of 1973, where he met Andreas Brown, of the Gotham Book Mart, who offered him a job if he came back. He accepted.
"And I just never went back to finish my BA; maybe I will," he said.
New York Years
Grauerholz had been writing poetry and songs before going to New York and wanted to carve a niche as a poet and musician.
"I really wanted to go to the great big city and meet the great people of my time, and I wanted to be a musician," he said. "At some point I realized I didn't have the nerve to stake it all. Then I was more comfortable working in the background. I lack the consistent egoism and gregariousness of the public performer."
So Grauerholz worked behind the scenes.
"I felt it was destiny and I belonged there. I said, 'Yeah, I'm here and I've got to make a point of earning my continued stay.'" he said.
Grauerholz said many famous artists had infamous personal lives.
"In many ways Burroughs' record as a human being, his moral record was checkeder and subject to criticism. But, his dedication to his work is above reproach," Grauerholz said. Trapping the Piltrimane
Grauerholz is writing Pilgrim On the Earth, which will be the third biography on Burroughs.
Last spring, Grauerholz taught "The Life and Work of William Burroughs," American Studies 494 / English 479.
Norm Yetman, American Studies professor, said "We were absolutely delighted with the reception of his course. He had 38 students, and 35 of them filled out evaluations with overwhelming enthusiasm."
Grauerholz said he taught the course to help develop his biography outline and to receive student insights.
Grauerholz offered feedback and research assistance to his students. But the biography has stalled.
"Frankly the biggest competition this summer is swimming and socializing and practicing with my band a lot and kind of having fun, because it's summer." he said.
The biography was scheduled for delivery by Grove Press next February, but Grauerholz said he needs more time.
When published, it will be brimming with Grauerholz's experience and research on Burroughs. He tracked down information to corroborate what Burroughs said and didn't say in interviews.
One search led to south Texas, where Burroughs lived on a farm. There, he found a saga of binge drinking, drug use and murder.
In 1987, Grauerholz co-coordinated the River City Reunion in Lawrence, a tribute to the counter culture of the 1960s and 1970s.
"I did the River City Reunion, deliberately to fan the flames of the sixties that were still smoldering here." Grauerholz said, "and it worked. But, nothing's forever."
Grauerholz said he intended to stay in Lawrence, and that the energy that drew him to the hill is still here, but that it is more rare.
Several years ago, for example, the Crossing crowd drove out the last of the Bohemian hippies, he said. "I used to go and see Paw at the Crossing. They would rock that place, and other bands played there. I played there. But that's all over now."
Overall, Grauerholz linked the end of Bohemian influence in Lawrence to politics.
"It's really a hangover from the Reagan years," he said.
"There's this entrenched attitude of growth at all costs, growth at any cost,
Grauerholz is also skeptical about the benefits of Lawrence's growth.
growth in any direction, growth of any kind, more people, more business, more roads. By all means more roads," he said. "Too much traffic? Obviously we need more roads—did anyone stop to think that the more roads you have, the more traffic you're going to have."
Grauerholz's primary craft was music when he was an undergraduate and when he stepped onto New York pavement.
In early 1995, Grauerholz formed the first version of the band, Tank Farm. He plays guitar and sings lead.
"But I was helping William, so I put the music aside. It wasn't until 1992 that I seriously started playing again," he said.
A tank farm is a group of large holding tanks of petroleum or petroleum byproducts in a geometric formation. Grauerholz passed a road sign on Highway 169, "Tank Farm Road," and was struck with the name for the band.
He recently wrote the song, "What the Hell do I do on Tuesday." It goes, "I do pretty well on Monday / I can still put up a fight / I can get out of bed and go to work / I can even make it through the night / But what the hell do I do on Tuesday / If you could tell me it would be so nice." Next
Grauerholz, who is approaching 50, says that his life after Burroughs is steeped in playing and writing music.
The duty to advance Burroughs' work also burns on.
"I see Burroughs as part of a vector of left-handed tradition in civilization, as a direct transmission of thought from centuries before," Grauerholz said.
Grauerholz and biographer Barry Miles have edited a restored text of Naked Lunch, which will be released this fall.
Grauerholz will teach "The History of Sexual Subcultures in 20th Century North America" this fall semester in the American Studies department.
Life after Burroughs has Grauerholz busy rehashing his adventures, making music and teaching courses in Lawrence, even on Tuesdays.

Minor opens doors for humanity
By Laurie Sisk Kansan staff writer
A trace of sauce from his Yello Sub BBQ chicken sandwich nestles near the corner of his mouth, camouflaged partially by his black goatate. He'll clean up later. Right now he's passionately engaged in lunch.
Bob Minor likes his Yello Sub.
He describes the owner as a successful businessman who lives a simple, non-lavish lifestyle. That's something Minor respects. His politics are so deeply rooted that they dictate where he chooses to dine.
Minor's southwest Lawrence home is a simple, two-bedroom dwelling. He never has been into lavish things. He earns a professor's salary and drives a Ford Escort. It gets him where he needs to go.
Two years before he came out to himself, Minor divorced his wife of 15 years and retained primary physical custody of his 8-year-old son. Matt.
Minor is the product of a plain, simple West Allis, Wisc., family of four kids with blue-collar parents. He is the oldest of a first-generation college family.
He realized he was gay at age 40.
He said he "came out as it came up."
Coming Out
For his family in Wisconsin, it was no big shock.
A few years earlier, Minor's mother, Alice, awoke from a dream in which her eldest son stood at the foot of her bed and said "Mom. I'm gay."
The dream was so vivid that when Minor came out to his mother in the mid-1980s, she said she already knew. His father, Carl, died from an aneurysm in 1977.
His sister, Joan Palumbo, who still lives in Wisconsin, said she and her brother and sister already had an idea that their big brother
might be gav.
"It was sad only because we knew it might be hard — the way people might treat him," Palumbo said. "But we really love each other, so it didn't matter at all, not one bit, to the family. There has always been a lot of love in this family. We were all raised to be sensitive, caring people."
Palumbo said she always looked up to Bob. She liked to call him "the achiever."
Bob was her idol.
"Whenever something went wrong, I knew he'd be there to protect me." Palumbo said. "He was — and still is — my idol. I always looked up to him. He was always so bright. He's got such a great mind — He's Mensa bright."
Minor left home when he was 17 and worked his way through college.
Although his sexuality carried no special issue with his mother and siblings, Minor's son had a harder time accepting his father's sexual orientation.
"I remember it like it was yesterday," Matt said of the day his father came out to him.
Now 24, Matt said he was 14 and he and his father were in the car on the way to his girlfriend's house when his dad asked him, "What would you say if I told you I was gay?"
"I laughed," Matt said. "I thought it was a joke."
Once Matt realized his father was not ioking, he became angry.
"It really affected the way I thought about him — our relationship took a 180-degree turn," Matt said. "I grew up believing that kind of activity was wrong."
Minor said it was difficult for Matt.
"He was worried about what people would think about him—and of me. It was a traumatic thing for him," Minor said.
him think that change would always hurt him."
"I think he eventually has to learn that it is ok and that nothing has changed between him and me," Minor said. "He doesn't like change. The divorce really made
"In junior high and high school, it is something that every guy jokes about. I didn't want anbody to find out," Matt said.
Matt said it was tough as a teenager.
He said he moved away and went to college at Pittsburg State University to get away from the issue.
"But being away made me realize that I needed to accept that that was who my father is," Matt said. "It's his life and I want him to be happy. I don't want to lose him—he's my father."
In 1994 he was a member of the Values Panel for the Kansas City Star, a member of the Communities Against Hate Crimes Task Force of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Kansas and was on the Diversity Advisory Committee for Kansas City Public Television. In 1999, he received a national leadership award for education from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Matt said his closest friends knew about and accepted his father, but it was still not something he liked to talk about.
Minor also writes a monthly column, "Minor Details," for The Liberty Press, a news publication for the
for the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender communities in Kansas City, Mo., and statewide in Kansas.
Now 56, Minor is a leading activist for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in Kansas. In addition to having served in the department of religious studies at KU for more than 24 years, he served as department chairman for six. He also is highly involved in class, gender and race issues.
He also has published five books on South Asian religions and recently released his sixth book, Scared Straight: Why It's So hard to Accept Gay People and Why It's So Hard to Be Human.
Thad Holcombe, pastor at
Ecumenical Christian Ministries, said, "I think it's an important book. The issue of homophobia is institutional and inbred in all of us."
His son Matt heard about the book in early July and said he was very proud of his father's latest accomplishment.
"That's how my dad is," Matt said, "When something is important to him, he's balls against the walls. He just goes all out to do it. That's one trait I got from him. I'm just more stubborn." The Male Feminist
Minor said he believes in a common humanity, one in which males and females are allowed to explore their full potentials.
"That's what a patriarchal culture does," Minor said "It conditions men into something awful and then women are expected to treat that as the value."
With the exception of a few plumbing differences, Minor sees men and women as very much alike. There are, however, a few conditioned differences.
He said this conditioning was a form of abuse because it robbed a person of one-half of his or her being. He said it took "a lot of abuse to turn men into "masculine people" — and it took a lot of abuse to turn women into feminine people.
"Women are much more in touch with reality than men are," Minor said. "Men are out of touch with their bodies and out of touch with the cycles of life - the monthly cycles."
He said he thought men were taught to overcome the world. He said women have become victims of this because they have been conditioned to respond to men's conditioning.
"You take away half the characteristics that human beings are," Minor said. "You force some characteristics upon men and deny men of others. You force some on women and you deny women of others so we lose most of our humanity."

Minor: Open-minded professor speaks for equality
CONTINUED FROM 13C
Minor said he found feminist readings to be insightful.
I've always had a sense about justice and fair play and nondiscrimination. It just always made sense to me." Minor said. "I was never threatened by feminism. It was never the case where I felt I had to defend my masculinity or that feminist teachings were male-bashing."
He said he never felt personally bashed. He said he always felt his masculinity was something he was conditioned around and the way to deal with that was to undo it, not to deny it or get caught up in guilt or shame about it.
"You can't love manhood and justice."
Minor said. "Because if you go for manhood, justice suffers. I really believe the key is breaking this masculinity stuff up."
Minor said men are the ones who need to begin to do that.
"You can't create an oppressor without taking away his feelings," Minor said. "If he feels too much, he won't be able to oppress people."
Minor's philosophy also carries into his feelings about the unfair treatment or harassment of lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender people.
Holcombe said Minor's workshops on homophobia have been a much-needed addition to the University.
"His homophobia workshop has brought a more comprehensive, institutional systemic understanding to me about that," Holcombe said.
WESTERNS
I CAN TAVEN IT'S STRIGHT!
Scored Straight
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Bob Minor, left visits with a customer at Hastings in Topeka during a booksigning for his latest work, Scared Straight.
Minor said, "you have to have homophobia to create an oppressor. Without homophobia, we would all feel more free to hold hands.
"If we start holding hands, it is hard to hit each other." The University Myth
While serving on the University Senate Executive Committee, Minor began to see things. Some of those things he believed were very wrong.
Although Minor's love of teaching never has waned, his faith in the institution of higher education is anything but strong.
"There are two universities," Minor said. "There's the university that is the myth — that we are all colleagues and that we all work together. Then there is the other university — the one that's real."
Minor describes this "real" university as one where certain people have power and certain people don't. Faculty, Minor said, don't have a lot of power — only that which is occasionally allotted to them by administration.
Minor said when he sat on university governance, it would try to make decisions like going against line-item tuition.
"We'd just get told by the administration that we were embarrassing the University. They would allow us to only make the decisions they wanted us to make. Faculty would get surprised when the administration would reverse decisions or not go along with them." Minor said.
Minor said he thought a lot of professors were in denial about their role in the University community. He said they deny they are working class and prefer to think they own the University. Not so, Minor said. Administrators decide when and where professors can have input.
He said it wasn't just Kansas. He said all universities were conservative institutions.
"You can warehouse liberals here, but you can't be liberal," Minor said. "You can be a little more liberal than some businesses, but we're supposed to run the University like a business."
Minor said he didn't like to see the University run as a business. He also resents the imposed silence that comes with the University structure.
"We can't talk about it," Minor said. "The Emperor has no clothes and we're not supposed to talk about it."
Minor is one of the few that does.
It is the lifeblood of his activism - placing more importance on what he
feels he should do, rather than what he's told he can or cannot do.
In that sense, Minor's self-imposed title of "radical" rings true.
"Bob has kind of reaffirmed my feeling that the University is on kind of a fine line between being sold out to the interest of the predominant culture over being true to its mission of educating people in terms of supporting life-long inquiry, education and personal growth," Holcombe said.
Tim Miller, department chairman for religious studies, admits that Minor is a vocal, intense activist, but said his activism has never created a problem within the department.
"I don't know if I understand the totality of all his philosophies," Miller said, "We tend to get it in small bursts within the department."
Miller said the department had a history of people who were activist about their own particular agendas.
then own tradition. "In that way, he fits into a grand tradition here," Miller said, "The big difference between Bob and other people in the department isn't so much in the kind of activism they participate in, but in their level of outspokenness."
Robert Shelton teaches in the same department as Minor and said Minor pushes both students and colleagues to think.
"He's very committed to the task of learning and teaching." Shelton said. "He has a lot to offer as a way of raising questions and issues in a way that can't be avoided." Conservative U
Minor says many places within the University are conservative. He points out the School of Law and especially the School of Journalism.
"There are a few pockets of more progressive people in these places, but basically this is a very conservative institution." Minor said.
"This journalism school is the most conservative journalism school I've run into." Minor said. "I was shocked they actually gave Molly Ivins an award this year."
Minor's experiences with the University and local press have been tenuous at times. Years ago, Minor served as one of the on campus organizers for the National Education Association, and worked to get a union at KU.
"The Lawrence Journal World called us outside union agitators," Minor said. "That was funny because we were all
professors here."
Minor remembers going into the journalism offices at KU to talk to faculty about organizing a union.
"I was literally kicked out," Minor said. "I thought it used to be that newspaper people knew the importance of unions and supported them."
Through all its conservatism, Minor said the University was committed to human rights as a formal status.
"And as long as it doesn't cost too much money," Minor said.
Minor said he doesn't want to analyze and tell people "its worse than you think," or tell people the history of problems. He wants to be more solution-oriented.
Holcombe said he agreed that the University could do more to promote a more liberal environment.
"The goal of education itself is to provide a critique of our society and to raise questions. Bob sees the University at least to some extent as representing the dominant culture rather than an alternative to that - almost to the extent that the University has been captured and seduced by the common culture," Holcombe said.
The Fairness Project
Minor is convinced that because of its conservative nature, the university environment will do little to serve as a catalyst for social change.
"Change in society is not going to take place here," Minor said.
Class, race, and gender issues are at the top of Minor's hit list.
He thinks these changes must be made in the working middle class to have real, lasting effects.
"I don't like discrimination," Minor said. "I don't like when people aren't treated fairly."
So Minor created what he calls The Fairness Project, a Web site aimed at pulling together a lot of the things he has done for equality and justice.
And while Minor continues to work for equality and fairness at the University, he also works tirelessly outside of campus to promote change.
"I don't want to see people in oppress sor or victim roles." Minor said.

Ministries reach out to students
By Dawn North Kansan staff writer
Finding the man or woman of your dreams might be enough to compel some KU students to get involved in campus ministries, but Alison DeTray joined for other reasons.
DeTray, Bucyrus senior, said that even though campus ministry provided a great way to meet people with similar values and beliefs, it also offered an environment where students felt unconditional love and acceptance.
Back-to-school week provides an opportune time for students to look into various campus ministries and try them out.
Kansas University Religious Advisers provides a pamphlet listing the 22 ministries that have been registered with their organization and will hold an open house from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at Danforth Chapel.
"We want to hear students' views of who they think Jesus is." Mark McElmurry Navigators director
Many of the 22 ministries on
campus have back-to-school activities planned during the next two weeks and invite students to be involved.
Linda Smith, Director of Outreach at St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, invites new and returning students to an opening barbecue tomorrow at 5 p.m. on the lawn at St. Lawrence.
"St. Lawrence would like to welcome all students and wish them success in their year," she said.
The Navigators, a non-denominational ministry, will be administering a spiritual interest survey
nursday and Friday in front of Mrs. E's.
"We want to hear students' views of who they think Jesus is," said Mark McElmurry, Navigators director.
Steve Swanson, Director of Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, an Assembly of God campus ministry and past president of the Advisers said, "KU Religious Advisers tries to establish a relationship between the registered leaders of religious organizations on campus and the University. The leaders and members of the religious organizations then interact with students."
DeTray said thinks the most important purpose of campus ministries is to teach students about God. That knowledge, she said, gives students hope and purpose.

Elizabeth Berghout, assistant professor of music and University carilloneur, plays the carillon at the top of the Campanile. The Campanile is a monument to students and faculty who died in World War II.
Carillonneurs keep campus ringing
Mark Hansen
Kansan staff writer
At the top of the Campanile, metal linkage rods fire like pistons while the bells resonate. The rods pull the anvil-shaped clappers that strike Campanile's 53 bells.
The playing cabin is just below the five tiers of bells and allows barely enough room to slither around each side of the clavier, or keyboard.
The largest bell weighs 13,440 pounds and the largest clapper weighs 300 pounds.
the bells by turning a tension knob. The knob is on the 56 wires that connect to each clapper. A professional carillon service technician checks the bells once a year.
Playing the instrument is physical. Elizabeth Berghout, University carillonneur and assistant professor of music, raps the wooden keys with a loosely closed fist. When the pace quickens to a cluster of notes Berghout somersaults her fists along the knees
The bells are permanently tuned in the factory, but before each recital Berghout adjusts the distance between the clapper and
"Some have called the carillon the most unmusical instrument around," Berghout said. "But I don't think so."
She became KU's carillonneur last fall, when Albert Gerken retired after 37 years.
Berghout has 22 recitals scheduled this semester. They are at 5 p.m. Sunday and 7 p.m. Wednesday during daylight savings time. The Sunday recital is at 3 p.m. after the time changes. There are no recitals during Labor Day, fall break or Thanksgiving break. Recitals last about a half-hour during the school year.
She ends each recital with "Crimson and Blue," the KU alma mater, and then offers tours of the Campanile afterwards.
When the bells ring and Berghout is not performing, it could be a
student at the keys or the "Westminster Quarters" — a tune that plays automatically every quarter hour.
Classes in carillon are open to KU students with permission from the music department.
Curtis Sloan, who graduated last spring with a political science and communications degree, learned to play the carillon while at KU.
Sloan's friends could hear his class work.
"I worked in Strong Hall," Sloan said. "And I would tell my friends to open the windows and listen."
Sloan's favorite place to listen to the carillon is behind the railing outside of Spencer Research Library. He said the sound bounced well there.
Interested listeners can get more information at the carillon Web site, www.carillon.ku.edu.

Uphill battle: going to KU's campus isn't a cake walk
By Mark Hansen Kansan staff writer
Mount Oread is steep, but not steep enough to keep physical education off the ARTS form.
However, he did say recent studies show that walking especially uphill walking improves health.
"We know now that even that workout is beneficial," he said.
Leon Greene, associate professor and undergraduate curriculum coordinator in the department of health and sport sciences, said the hills and the lack of a physical education requirement weren't related.
Maps at the T.R. Smith Map collection in Anschutz Library, prepared by KU Design and Construction Management, show that the highest campus elevation is 1,025 feet in front of Strong Hall.
This peak slopes down to 880 feet at 18th and Illinois streets and 900 feet at Ninth and Massachusetts streets and at Memorial Stadium.
The Kansas Union sits between 970 and 1,000 feet. Potter Lake is 950 feet.
Anthony Romero, graduate student, said he avoids the steep walks. He works and has class in Malott Hall, so he parks by Robinson Center and takes a short walk to Malott.
"This is the only part of campus I see," he said.
Students who walk directly to Wescoe Hall from McColum Hill traverse two-thirds of a mile. The path through Irving Hill Road begins at 1,000 feet, dips to 910 feet, then climbs back to 1,000 at Wescoe.
Fourteenth Street climbs up 800 grueling feet with an increase in altitude of 100 feet from the middle of the intersection of Ohio and 14th streets to the campus gate
Dannah Hartley, Carl Junction, Mo., junior, walks up 14th Street from Louisiana St. to campus.
"It's not too bad," she said. "The hill behind Wescoe with stairs is a killer."
Despite the temptation, Hartley said she hasn't chosen to stay in bed instead of climbing the hill to class.
"No, no, no," she said. "It's not that big of a deterrent."

'Disorientation' to guide KU newcomers
By Luke Wetzel
Kansan staff writer
If a group of KU students accomplish its goal, newcomers to Lawrence will feel at home a lot sooner than they ordinarily would.
The "Disorientation Guide" is a booklet designed by about 20 KU students to help introduce new students to unique tidbits about the community, as well as promote supporting local businesses. Students in Concerned Active and Aware Students decided last spring to revitalize the booklet, which was last published in the 1980s.
"They've been trying to do it for the last few years," said Anneliese Stoever, who is writing an article on local music venues for the guide. Stoever, Overland Park senior and co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, said the guide will be an alternative to the information presented at actual orientation.
"At orientation they tell you a lot of stuff you don't need to know," she said. "This is more about the Lawrence community and how to get by. One of the articles is a list of things to do before you graduate. It mentions 'Two for Tuesday's' at Liberty Hall and the vegetarian luncheon at the ECM. It's more like real-life orientation."
Sean Whittier, Prairie Village senior, is helping compile a local buyer's guide for the booklet.
"We're trying to give people some options other than Walmart and Super Target," he said. "We basically called every store in the phone book to find out if they were locally owned."
Whittier said he hoped the guide would help prevent Lawrence from turning into another "strip mall hell."
"One of the things that's unique about Lawrence is all the locally-owned shops," he said. "It's well documented that when Wal-Mart and stores like that roll into town, lots of small places have to close."
Ben Burton, Ocean, N.J., senior and Student Ex chairman for Student Senate, said he hoped the guide would help students feel more at home by giving them ways to get involved and have fun in Lawrence.
"It took me a few years to find out what some of the cooler things were," Burton said. "This is a great way to eliminate part of that learning curve."
Burton is compiling a list of campus and community organizations. He also plans to do a write-up about some of the more interesting graffiti in town.
"It's just to make some of the newcomers to the University more familiar with what the community has to offer that might not immediately be apparent," he said.
The guide will be distributed in living organizations and tables on campus. Organizers hope to have it completed by the start of the school year.

Although Lawrence is in the heart of carnivore country, University of Kansas students have options for their vegetarian tastes.
By Rob Pazell Senior staff writer
Although Lawrence doesn't offer a vegetarian-only eating establishment, several places offer vegetarian alternatives.
Area offers meatless options
Nancy O'Conner, marketing director for the Merc, said it is a great fit for vegetarian students.
Students who left for the summer will come back to find the Community Mercantile Cooperative at its new location, 901 Iowa St. The Merc is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. everyday and provides a full-service grocery store with the largest selection of natural foods in the area.
"Anything a vegetarian would want, we have it," O'Conners said.
The store has a large variety of foods like soy milk, tofu and soy cheese, she said.
Students also have a vegetarian option right down the street from campus. Ecumenical
Christian Ministries and KU Environs co-sponsor a veggie lunch from ll:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.every Thursday at the ECM building,starting August 23 and ending December 20.
Jolinda Matthews, Ecumenical Christian Ministries staff member, said the lunch is free, but students can give donations to help pay for the next week's veggie lunch. Volunteers cook the meals and the menu changes weekly. Matthews said there was no lecture or any other obligations.
"It's just eating, sitting around, and having a good conversation." Matthews said.
Students who like spicy vegetarian cuisine can travel down the Hill to The Orient Vietnamese Cuisine, 1006 Massachusetts St. The Orient's menu has a separate vegetarian page. They offer popular eastern dishes like phat thai and spring rolls with vegetarian substitutes such as tofu and tempeh.
Nancy Nguyen, owner, said she had been serving vegetarian cuisine for five years and received many student customers.
"We get a lot of students," Nguyen said. "If you ask students who eat vegetarian, they know this place."
Emily Hadley, Tonganoxie junior, said she goes to The Orient twice a week.
"They use tempeh and tofu which has the same texture and substance as meat," Hadley said.

In possession of penalties
Minors caught with alcohol face consequences
By Julie Carter
Kansan staff writer
Ryan Halsted walks through the door into a crowded bar. He doesn't have to wait in line. He glances around the room, watching for telltale signs of someone who isn't supposed to be there.
Some of the bar goers don't mind that Halsted, a uniformed Lawrence police officer, is there, but others get nervous.
"I know when I walk in I will probably ruin someone's night. But I am just doing my job," Halsted said.
Some people don't react when they see an officer, but others make it obvious they are not of legal drinking age.
Probable cause to give a citation for minor in possession includes several criteria. The Kansas Supreme Court made a recent ruling that simply looking underage is enough to ask for identification.
"Just like a crime, I have to have probable cause to give an MIP" he said.
"Some people just draw attention to themselves. They will put their drink down and push it away from them. It's like the beer becomes poison when they see us," Halsted said. "The real problem is when underage drinking turns to drunk drivers or fighting. We have to look out for those things."
Mike Flanagan, Overland Park senior, was surrounded by friends at a Lawrence house party two winters ago when a police officer entered. Flanagan was only 20.
"I was scared because I knew he was coming right for me," Flanagan said. "I was the tall guy with a red hat. I must have stood out."
Even though all of Flanagan's friends were also underage, the
officer asked only for Flanagan's ID. Out of the 50 people at the party, Flanagan received the only MIP.
Any of several factors could bring police officers to a bar, party or event where alcohol and underage drinkers might mix, said Stg. Mark Warren.
A concerned neighbor or regular patrons at a bar may see an increase of underage drinking and notify police. Police also do random bar checks.
When officers approach someone they suspect is drinking illegally in a bar or at a party, an officer first will ask to see an ID.
"It's just not a good idea to give a fake ID to an officer. We will know if it's not you," Halsted said. "You can be charged with obstruction of justice. If you are underage and in a bar that is 21 and over, chances are you had to use a fake ID to get in. We realize that."
When someone is cited for an MIP, there are two ways to handle it legally. More than half of the 300 minors who are cited for drinking each year choose diversion.
The offender will receive a ticket that must be signed as a promise to appear in court, Warren said.
Diversion is available for those with no criminal record who are willing to meet with the conditions, said Christine Tonkovich, Douglas County district attorney.
"Usually, somebody who comes in with a Minor in Possession charge, this is the first thing they have been charged with," Tonkovich said. "It is a Class C misdemeanor, which is the lowest level of misdemeanors."
When diversion is completed, the offender's record will show that the offender went through the program, and the case was dismissed.
Most people on diversion do complete the six-month program, Tonkovich said.
accepted into diversion. If you plead guilty or are not accepted for diversion, you are convicted," Tonkovich said.
"You are never actually found guilty of a crime if you are
If the offender is convicted of drinking underage, there are more serious consequences.
A judge can impose 30 days of jail time, and as of July 1 of this year, anyone convicted will have his driver's license suspended for 30 days and restricted for 60, said Vicki Stanwix, Lawrence Municipal Court manager.
Darren Finnigan, Olathe senior, has been cited for underage drinking four times.
The only MIP for which he was eligible for diversion was his first. When he arrived at a field party, he was not greeted by friends having a good time. He was welcomed by an officer with a flashlight and lots of questions.
Finnigan was ticketed for underage drinking three times a few summers ago, including twice in one week.
"I was hoping I could get away with it. At first I told him there wasn't anything in my trunk, but he didn't believe me," Finnigan said.
Finnigan paid the fines and went to the alcohol-education classes required to complete his diversion.
He did have something hidden in the trunk — beer.
"It it was a monetary punishment more than anything else," Finnigan said.
Twice that summer, police arrived at parties Finnigan had thrown. The officer took the kegs of beer and fake IDs Finnigan used to buy the alcohol and left him with more MIP citations.
The final citation came two years later at a liquor store.
"An undercover police officer was watching me. He saw me put the beer in my car and then followed me." Finnigan said.
For each MIP after his first, he was convicted and required to pay fines up to $500.

House offers punk and politics
Santos Gold band members Kelsey Richardson, left, and Dalin Horner perform in the living room of the Pirate House, 400 W. 14th St. This was the band's first time playing at the house, which is a regular venue for local and national acts.
By Luke Wetzel
Kansan staff writer
AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
For the last two years, passersby at 14th and Kentucky streets may have noticed curious things at the house on the southwest corner. On any given night, one might see people running around in costume, learning to ride a unicycle or playing a game of dodgeball in the street. On the porch, anywhere from two to a dozen people may be gathered in a discussion beneath the giant Christmas-light anarchy and equality signs. However, the most defining feature of what the residents call the Pirate House, 30 W. 14th St., is the consistent presence of punk rock.
When the Locusts, a San Diego punk band, played on the front porch one Monday evening in July, about 400 people mostly teenagers in black T-shirts
spilled out of the front yard into the sidewalk and across the street. Although the show was the biggest ever at the Pirate House, it was in most ways a routine summer evening at the house.
"By the end of the summer, this house will have done 30 shows," said Dave Strano, who at six months in the house, is the senior resident. "It gets so crazy. This summer this place has turned into more of a venue than a house. It's hard to get a lot of sleep here."
Whether it be an all-ages show, a vegan potluck dinner or a meeting to plan a caravan to protest the IMF World Bank Meeting in Washington D.C., the Pirate House is a hotbed of activity. It is an unmistakable landmark in the heart of the so-called Student Ghetto.
"That's my favorite thing in the world, all the kids who come over and play music," said Dylan Desmond, Overland Park sophomore. Desmond, who moved into the house from Hashring Hall in May, began coming to shows at
the house before he finished high school.
"There's a real strong energy that everyone has here," he said. "Everyone wants to do something."
Unfortunately for the band and crowd at the Locusts show, the energy — and the noise from the amplifiers — rendered it short-lived. Ten minutes after the band struck the first power chords, the police arrived. A reluctant Strano had to ask the crowd to disperse.
"The cops have come before, but that was the first show that was ever stopped," he said. "They know us by face and name now."
"We just mostly wanted a place where we could have shows."
The Pirate House legacy began in August 1999 when Kurt Lane and two friends decided to fill the void left after several Kansas City all ages clubs closed.
said Lane, Overland Park senior.
Lane said the name Pirate House came from the Jolly-Roger flag that hung above the porch. That fall, residents added a Christmas light anarchy sign and the big "E" that stands for equality, giving the house an even more recognizable identity.
"It seems that all the houses here have a name," he said. "Calling it the Pirate House just made it easier to identify."
Lane and the other two founding members have since moved out of the house, but he has seen a lot happen since 2-hr-Turn and Reflector played the inaugural show on September 12, 1999. Since then, residents have put on benefit shows for organizations like Senior Services and the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee. The house was listed in a national guide of places to play last year, and bands from as far
away as Sweden have played there. Current residents have organized caravans to protest President Bush's inauguration, IMF World Bank meetings and downtown businesses they say use slave labor. They are currently helping plan a national anarchist gathering for 2002, which they hope to hold on a local farm.
"I'd say the place is pretty nationally known right now," Lansaid.
Today, the Anarchy and Equality signs no longer hang from the front of the house. The homemade red and black "Tierra Y Libertad" flag — an anarchist phrase from the Mexican civil war that directly translates to earth and liberty — now hangs inconspicuously on the inside of the porch window. The couches, a rocking horse and other decorations were removed in late July at the

Salons and barber shops help students cut costs
By Dawn North Kansan staff writer
There is "shear" joy in getting a good, cheap haircut — especially for college students living away from home for the first time.
For many students, haircuts were something like doctor bills and groceries, an ordinary, necessary expense paid for by parents.
But, along with their newfound independence comes tough decisions such as finding not only the best cut in town, but the best buy for their money.
Carol Dias da Silva, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sophomore, is glad she made Sakaroff's The Salon, 12 E. Eighth St., her hair-do business.
"It's a funky place and kind of modern," she said.
Dias da Silva said her conservative roommate decided to give Sakaroff's a try but was apprehensive when the stylist wanted to try a different kind of cut. Now her roommate likes her new hair cut and is glad she made the
change.
A shampoo, cut and style at Sakaroff's costs $23 for men and $25 for women. Ryan Crowell, stylist, said Sakaroff's tried to keep their prices low so they don't alienate college students. He estimated that 65 to 70 percent of their business is students, with a 25 percent male clientele.
Using lots of color is one of the latest trends in hair fashion, Crowell said. Sakareff's specializes in cuts and colors and many clients are opting for louder colors. He said one of the new twists was putting brighter colors underneath and adding highlights in strong contrasting colors on top, creating a "peek-a-boo" effect.
Stylish cuts include dramatic layering, which is a jump back to the late 70s and early 80s, and blunt cuts which are also making a comeback.
"Trying to create a fashion that has a style to it but isn't high maintenance is important."
Crowell said. "It needs to be something that the client can do at home, not just something that looks good when the person leaves the salon."
Bernadette Kuhn, Chicago sophomore, said she likes Sakaroff's because many of the stylists are young. But, the most important factor is getting "a stylish haircut for a decent price."
Choosing from the 59 salons and 22 barbers listed in the Lawrence Yellow Pages won't be easy, so asking people on campus might be one of the best ways.
ryan Bonewitz, Newton junior, said R C's Stadium Barbery, 1033 Massachusetts St., is a great place to get a haircut.
"They do a great job and R C has always got a lot of good stories," Bonewitz said. The $8 price is also a bargain.
Another barber shop frequented by students, Downtown Barber Shop, 824 Massachusetts St., is complete with a red and white striped barber pole. Jay
Amxy, barber, said cuts, without a shampoo, are $8.
Headmasters, 809 Vermont St. is more expensive than some of the other salons around town. Depending on the stylist, prices range from $30 to $50, said Jessie Robie, salon coordinator. Along with a shampoo, cut and style, each customer receives a two to three minute massage. Some students say that they'll pay the extra money just to receive the short massage.
And then there are students like Molly Hayden, Chicago junior, who waits until she goes home to get her tresses cut.
She has had the same stylist for four years at Mario Tricoci's salon. And even though Hayden goes home only two or three times a year, she thinks it's worth the wait.

Area parks offer students outdoor fun
A garden, frisbee golf course and bike trail give residents active options
By Rob Pazell Senior staff writer
University of Kansas students can find a variety of parks in Lawrence for their outdoor recreation fix.
Lawrence contains more than 50 parks. While some are conventional playground and green field parks, others have unique qualities.
The Japanese friendship garden boasts sculptures, a fountain and a gazebo where downtown shoppers can relax.
The garden celebrates Lawrence's relationship with one of its sister cities, Hiratsuka, Japan. It was dedicated last October to celebrate the 10 year
anniversary of Lawrence's participation in the Sister Cities International program. Lawrence's other sister city is Eutin, Germany. Fred DeVictor, director of parks and recreation for the City of Lawrence, said a site selection committee chose the location of the friendship garden.
"We looked at a number of sites," DeVictor said. "Watkins Park needed to be renovated and so we decided on it."
If students crave physical activities, other parks offer such opportunities.
Centennial Park has an 18- hole frisbee golf course. Frisbee golf is similar to golf, but players throw frisbees toward a chain link hole instead of hitting a ball with a club.
Heather Glaholt, Prairie Village senior, said that she played three or four times a week during the summer and that it can be challenging.
"There's lots of forest and lots of tree hazards," Glaholt said. "But its open in some areas. It's a pretty cool course."
DeVictor said the parks and recreation department worked with a disc golf club to create the course that continues to attract students.
"We've had some people indicate that we need to build another one." DeVictor said.
Lawrence also has a number of parks with mountain bike trails. For example, the Riverfront Park has the River Trail, a 9 mile course maintained by the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club.
J. C. Vandeventer, retired pro cyclist and member of the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club, said the club hosted a ride and barbecue at 6:30 p.m. every Wednesday during the spring, summer and fall through October at the River Trail.

Combating crime on and off the Hill
Public Safety Office and Lawrence police serve specific areas
By Julie Carter Kansan staff writer
With two police departments in Lawrence, students may have trouble deciding which department to contact when they need help.
The KU Public Safety Office, 302 Carruth O'Leary Hall, 1246 West Campus Road, is responsible for investigating all crime on campus and operates in the same manner as the Lawrence Police Department, said Ralph Oliver, director of the Public Safety Office.
If a student is not sure where the crime occurred, he or she may contact the Public Safety Office, and an officer will direct the call to the proper authorities.
"Our jurisdiction includes any property owned or operated by the University and adjacent streets," Oliver said.
If a public safety officer is on patrol and witnesses a crime off campus, the officer will take action.
"We will make initial contact, stabilize the situation and call Lawrence Police," Oliver said.
Along with investigating crime on campus, the Public Safety Office also may issue speeding tickets.
The Public Safety Office recently used some grant money
to buy a laser detector to help them detect speeding drivers and reconstruct accident scenes.

Students cashing in at Lawrence banks
Area banks offer different options for accounts
By Dawn North Kansan staff writer
"It's not a good thing for the college to get too cozy with large corporations," Schmitt said.
Finding a safe place to keep their money is a top priority for most students.
Not everyone agrees with Schmitt's perspective. Sangeetha Lourdes, Malaysia senior, said she liked having the bank at the Union.
Shandi Elsey, Sublette senior, said she was not happy with Commerce Bank. She felt that because she was a student, the bank did not take her seriously.
Hiding money under a mattress or at the bottom of the underwear drawer might not be everybody's idea of safe-keeping — so, for those students, banks come in handy.
"Lines may be long, but it's not a problem," she said. "And, besides, most international students don't have cars."
Elsey was charged $100 in overdraft fees last spring. She found out it was a banking error, but she was passed through five employees before the bank agreed to refund her $100.
There are 21 different banks in Lawrence, but some are more popular with students than others.
The bank made another major mistake last month, so she has decided to close the account and send her checks back home.
Even though most college freshmen have had checking accounts in their home towns, most students open an account at a local Lawrence bank because it is much easier to cash checks. The hard part is choosing the right one
Michael Schmitt, Virginia Beach, Va. graduate student, said he thought he made the right choice using Commerce for his banking needs. However, he said if he had to do it all over again he would choose a locally owned bank.
Commerce is a major player in the KU picture. The student identification card, called the KU Card, functions as an ATM card, debit card, long distance calling card and can even be used in vending machines on campus.
He said from the line at the Commerce location in the Kansas Union that he didn't think a bank should be on campus.
A Commerce checking account requires no minimum balance, no service charge and offers free pre-authorized transfers from any U.S. bank.
Anthony Bombardier, Smith Center senior, said that The University National Bank had been great. He opened the account the first week he was in Lawrence.
"They were easy to talk to, and they answered all of my questions," Bombardier said.
One weakness of The University National Bank might be the $300 minimum balance required. Student accounts that fall beneath that amount would be charged $3 each time. Todd Sutherland, bank president, said the bank has an attractive ATM package that costs $3 a month. Students can use any ATM in the world with no service charges.
He said there were no checking fees and he liked having an ATM machine at Perkins, 1711 W.23rd St.
For a real deal, students might want to check out Free State Credit Union, 901 Iowa, in the Community Mercantile Co-op building. Mark Kasson, president and CEO, said local residents started the credit union 25 years ago. They wanted to have their own financial co-op, he said.
Credit unions are owned by their customers. Today there are 1,200 members in the Free State Credit Union.
- Do you require a minimum balance in the account?
If so, what is the charge if I go below the minimum balance?
Questions to Ask When Opening a Checking Account
What is the amount required for initial deposit?
below the minimum balance
■ is my first order of checks free?
Is my first order of checks?
Are there any service charges?
There is free checking, no minimum balance and only a $5 initial deposit. The one drawback was that it didn't have ATMs all over town, Kasson said. But, he said customers pay the price for convenience, so students needed to decide which was more important, convenience or better prices.
"It's safer to have your money in a financial institution rather than on your dresser, and it's insured," Kasson said.

REAL dollar program fails to catch on
Alternative money initiative falls short of expectations
By Kyle Ramsey Kansan managing editor
Although the REAL dollars program started a year ago to keep money in the Lawrence community, it hasn't caught on yet.
The program, sponsored by the Lawrence Trade Organization, creates and distributes an alternative currency unique to Lawrence called REAL money. REAL stands for Realizing Economic Alternatives in Lawrence.
The Lawrence Trade Organization designed the program to keep money in Lawrence by using currency accepted only at participating businesses. These stores are labeled with a REAL dollars window sticker.
The value of REAL money, which can be exchanged in demonstrations of $1, $3 and $10, is equal to U.S. federal money.
Each bill features the portrait of a Lawrence historical figure, such as author William Burroughs.
However, some area merchants say the program is losing momentum.
"We've had less and less REAL dollars come in over the past three months," said Pat Kehde, owner of The Raven Bookstore, 8 E. Seventh St. "I think it dying."
Kehde said she didn't think the incentive to use the dollars was very strong.
"There needs to be some other motivation," she said.
Boog Highberger, organizer of the program, said that about $8,000 of REAL moneywas in circulation, but the program had not met the expectations he established when it began last September. Highberger said there are no plans to end the program.
"Where else but
"Where else but Lawrence, Kansas, can you go out and buy a beer with a $3 bill?"
Boog Highberger Organizer of the REAL dollars program
"The tangible benefits include a no-interest loan program backed by the interest earned on the invested federal dollars exchanged for REAL dollars," he said.
Supporting businesses would be eligible for these loans,but the program hasn't generated enough capitol to lend.
"I need a couple more dedicated volunteers, and we need to get the loan program going," Highberger said.
Advertising and volunteers would help the program grow, he said. To help promote economic growth, Highberger has been working on direct mail fliers, door-to-door visits in the community and a free directory that lists participating businesses.
REAL dollars can be purchased from the Lawrence Trade Organization's Web site, http://lto.lawrence.ks.us, and at participating businesses. Highberger stressed the originality of REAL dollars.

The song remains the same
By Mark Hansen
Kansan staff writer
Loose change and dollar bills can pay for laundry, as well as bar music.
Lawrence bars have a variety of songs ready to spin in their jukeboxes — but some bar patrons and workers say the needle is spinning.
the jukebox at Louise's, 1009 Massachusetts St., plays three songs for $1, seven for $2 and 18 for $5, which is a common price system in bars. Adam Mansfield, Louise's manager, said he often heard Creedence Clearwater Revival and Stevie Ray Vaughn in the bar.
Mansfield attributed Lawrence bar patrons's static song choices to the popularity of an album's singles.
"Iused to like them until I heard their songs a million times,"he said.
"People play the same song on an album," he said. "You hear a few songs on a few select albums instead of some other songs on

"We had to take out The Cars' Moving in Stereo because it was played about 20 times a night," bartender Dana Wiseman said. "That's a good one though."

Shop offers the sounds of music
By Christa Henton and Gia Hua Specials to the Kansan
With the harp looming above her, Emma Woodard leans her instrument against her shoulder. She can barely reach the furthest strings.
Her fingers create a familiar song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
As Woodard finishes, she stretches her arms out for the last scale and pulls them back for the final "ping" of the highest note.
Her small audience stands to applaud, and Woodard smiles a proud, tight-lipped grin.
Emma Woodard is 8-years-old and just one of Phyllis Hoffman's 50 students.
"She's an amazing student," said Hoffman, midwest regional director of the American Harp Society. "She reminds me of myself when I was her age."
At age 52, Hoffman opened the Hoffman Harp Gallery, 1341 Massachusetts St., with friend, Randall Platt.
Now, in their second year, they are the only full-service harp store between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains and one of five such stores in the nation.
"We originally started looking for a location in Kansas City, but rent over there was around $3,000," Platt said. "We got this place for $750 a month, bills paid."
Hoffman Harp Gallery sold 40 harps last year. Platt said profits from those harp sales accounted for about 90 percent of their earnings.
"You can't run a business just teaching. You teach to raise interest, and that's what raises your sales," he said. "As far as projections for next year, the only thing I can say is I hope to keep it going."
Word of mouth may be the easiest way to drive sales, but advertising in harp trade magazines and mailers definitely would help. Platt said.
"We probably don't do enough national advertising like direct mail," Platt said. "But, we don't feel like we're ready for that mass
vet."
Although Hoffman's Harp Gallery may not be ready for the masses, it is doing well on Mass. Street. With Lawrence listed by John Villani's book as one of the "100 Best Art Towns in America," the town seems a fitting home for such a unique business.
The gallery's uniqueness is exactly what excites Emma Woodard about playing the harp. Emma sits back on her stool, cocks her head away from her harp and says, "This is so much cooler than piano."

The shift from Haskell to KU is a plan Michael Begay has envisioned ever since he watched his sister walk down Campanile hill. Both universities are striving to make the transition either way less daunting and more viable to students. Begay is pictured above at Haskell Indian Nations University.
From Haskell to the Hill
Making transition takes time,patience and understanding
By Dawn North Kansan staff writer
Ever since Michael Begay came to Haskell two years ago, he had his eye on "the Hill."
While visiting his sister as she prepared to graduate from the University of Kansas, he noticed photos on the walls in the geology department. They showed KU graduates making their way down Campanile hill in caps and gowns, and at that moment, he knew.
"I want all of my family to see me walk down that hill," he said to himself.
Begay wanted to receive his associate's degree from Haskell Indian Nations University. Pride resonated as he talked about
Haskell alumni and wanting to join their ranks. Begay did that in May when he earned his two-year associate's degree. He will transfer to the KU campus this fall and will work on his undergraduate degree in computer science.
A move across town is usually not a life-changing event. But, for Michael Begay and Dianne Yeahqu Reyner, it will be just that. They are two of the 15 to 20 Haskell graduates who will transfer to the University for the fall semester.
They will join the Native-American student population of about 225, minuscule compared to 26,000 students.
The University is striving to cut down barriers for Haskell transfer students by improving existing programs and developing new ones to make the transition smoother.
However, the 1.7 mile drive from Haskell in southeast
Lawrence to the University can be like traveling to another country.
"When you step off the Haskell campus to Massachusetts Street, it's a different scenery." Begay said.
The shift from a campus of about 850 Native Americans to a predominantly white student body 50 times that size will bring a new set of challenges for these students.
"At Haskell, it's comfortable. We can just be ourselves," Yeahquo Reyner said. "But that same comfort won't be there at KU." She said Haskell had an incredible support system. At the University of Kansas, she and other transfer students will have to learn to make the cultural adjustments every day.
Despite different surroundings, Begay is looking forward to meeting new people.

She completed her bachelor's degree in American Indian Studies from Haskell in the spring and will be entering KU's Indigenous Nations Studies Program this fall. In addition to her studies, Yeahquo Reyner wants to work with University Theatre. History
Yeaquho Reyner, too, is looking forward to the University.
Haskell began as "The United States Indian Industrial Training School" on Sept. 1, 1884. It was founded by the U.S. government as a training school for Indian children. Assimilation to the white culture was the goal, as students donned uniforms, put on shoes and cut their hair.
SUNSHINE
The 28-year-old Navajo grew up on a reservation in Crown Point, N.M., and is proud of his deep roots in his culture.
Their native customs, religions and languages were to be left at home.
Haskell: change takes time
Many changes have occurred through the years. The biggest change came in 1995 when the school became more than a two-year junior college and changed its name to Haskell Indian Nations University. It is now a fully accredited university that celebrates the diversity and culture of more than 500 federally recognized tribes. One hundred fifty tribal nations are represented at Haskell.
Manny King, Haskell registrar, said the school recently added American Indian studies, environmental science and business administration to the education degree, boosting the number of degrees offered to four.
Haskell continues to offer associate's degrees in 15 areas of emphasis. He said one of the school's strong points was that it continued to weave American Indian culture into all of its curricula.
CONTINUED FROM 9D
King said most of the 140 graduates of 2001 - 35 with undergraduate degrees and 105 with associate's degrees - wanted to go back to their tribes after graduation and make a productive
"It's an awesome place to go, even though it's just across town," Flores said about the difference in size between the Haskell and KU campuses. "Financially, it is difficult because Haskell students have not had to seek financial assistance before."
Cornel Pewewardy, an assistant professor in the School of Education, volunteers for the Haskell Mentoring Program. He said he recognized the financial challenge of attending the University. The only tuition required to attend Haskell was a $150 activity fee. The remaining costs are paid by the U.S. government.
"In return for land altering their livelihoods, Indians received promises of money, goods and certain services, such as health care and education," Pewwardy said. Different point of view
for with human lives - Indian lives. When white settlers moved farther west, the U.S. government began to obtain legal titles to the land by signing treaties, he said.
But Powewardy said he thinks the meager tuition is hardly a free ride. He said the tuition was paid
Flores said there were nine undergraduate transfer students last year, and she expects eight of them to return for the fall semester. The problems incoming Haskell students face may vary, but two are common: the size of the student body and financial pressures.
"We really strive to produce the most professional and quality-educated Native-American students, who can then go out into the work force and be successful - because they are the future of our Indian people," King said.
Some of the services the program provides are enrollment and advising on the Haskell campus in April, a one-time $150 book grant, student mentors, faculty and staff mentors and a special orientation program in August when students are introduced to former Haskell students and Native-American faculty members.
The University of Kansas is trying to make the transition as comfortable as possible. Gloria Flores, associate director for the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said the Haskell Mentor Program, a volunteer-based service, was designed to anticipate and address the needs of Haskell students.
impact on their political systems, schools and communities.
Dire recommends that Haskell transfer students think about their career path, see how credit hours transfer and think about what they want to do after college. He said Haskell was more conducive to his personality and what he wanted to do after finishing college.
Although KU's efforts to improve conditions for Native-American students continue to grow and expand, some students feel their needs are yet to be met. Dan Dire, a fall 2000 Haskell undergraduate transfer student, became disillusioned with the University of Kansas after one semester. He returned to Haskell.
He said he wants to teach others that there is a way out of the reservations and a way back.
"The program isn't as cool as they say," Dire said. He was disappointed because much of his course work transferred only as electives, the class sizes were too big and professors' teaching styles were very different from Haskell teachers. He said that his history professor, in particular, wasn't willing to see his view. He said he felt as if he had no place at the University.
"I only got one letter from my mentor - at the end of the semester," he said.
Michael Begay also knows what he wants to do after he gets his bachelor's degree. He hopes to pursue a graduate degree in computer science and then return to the area where he grew up.
Dire said the mentor program let him down.

Taste-testing frenzy, the winners and losers of summertime refreshment
by Luke Wetzel Kansan staff writer
Jon Breeding stood outside Kwik Shop, 1714 W. 23rd St. poking at a gourmet ice beverage with a straw and sipping it intermittently. If you were to ask him, he would probably tell you to take your 87 cents elsewhere, but at the moment he was too busy grimacing.
"The flavor was an unconscionable french vanilla," said Breeding, Springfield, Mo., junior. "I'm a vanilla fan in most instances, but this flavor was the bane of all humanity."
Breeding was part of Lawrence Frozen Treat Test 2001, an ambitious quest to seek out brain freezes and flavorful frozen desserts in a town devoid of 7-11 Slurpees. Although purists may argue that other products are similarly "wannabes" masquerading as Slurpees, the three taste-testers found the gas stations of Lawrence awash with similar treats.
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 beverage experimentation.
Breeding proved his dedication to the project before the first slurp. On the way to Raja's Food Mart, 1000 W. 23rd St., he refused an offer of pretzel sticks.
"I want to keep my palate clean." he said.
At Raja's, which sells Chili Willis, Breeding 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 his menu was an Alpine Blast Orange Dream at the Conoco Break Place on 24th and Iowa.
"A quality refreshment." Breeding said. "Flavor is orange but not quite acidic like orange soda-more creamy. And what a name."
History
Although the machines in today's gas stations look like neon fuel tanks for rocket ships, history suggests Romans enjoyed a good brain freeze, too. Romans would haul 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 further evolved in Kansas, when Omar Knedlik, the owner of a Coffeyville Dairy Queen, began putting soda in the freezer to sell to customers. The treat caught on so well that he dedicated five years to building a machine to create frozen carbonated beverages, which he dubbed Ices. By the mid 1960s, there were 300 Icee machines. Today, enough Ices are consumed each year to cover the Hawaiian islands of Kauai and Oahu.
Benji King, Overland Park senior and Kwik Shop employee, said Icees were one of the most popular things he sold in the summer.
"When I used to get them, the little bear was part of the attraction," King said. "The novelty aspect of it isn't the same when you're older."
The Testing Continues
Vivek Kurisunkal, New Delhi, India, senior, and Erika Ratzliff, Buhler junior, and began their testing at Tad's Tropical Sno, 939 Iowa St., where customers can choose from over 200 flavor combinations.
"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."
Kurisunkal claimed to have no American frozen dessert experience aside from an isolated snow cone encounter in the fall of 1999.
"In India we have sticks of fla

vored 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 syrup."
Ratzlaff liked her treat from Tad's.
"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."
Breeding said that snow cones could be distracting in some instances.
"Probably too much to handle while driving." he said.
At the next stop, Ratzlaff had more fun pouring her Icee than she did drinking it.
"The whole ordeal of putting 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."
Kurisunkai was even less partial to his Icee.
"I liked the other one much better," he said referring to Tad's. "This didn't have too many flavors. Secondly, I thought it was very runny and more liquiyd." Brain Frenzel
Later, things went downhill. The testers thought Polar Joe's claim to be the "smoothest, coolest frozen gourmet drink ever" turned out to be a false promise at Jayhawk Food Mart, 701 W 9th St.
"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'
With flavor quality determined, brain freeze testing was initiated. Kurisunkal slurped for 11 seconds before pulling away, nearly eclipsing Breeding's 12 seconds set earlier in the afternoon. Ratzlaff slurped for a modest 4.
toothpaste."
"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."
Meanwhile, Kurisunkal stood by the side of the building with his head in his hands, trying unsuccessfully to shake the lingering pain.
"It pinches your brain," he said, wincing. "My jaw hurts, my head hurts. It's like a bad hangover. It sucks."
On the way to Juice Stop, a comment from Ratzlaff suggested she might have been affected by the brain freeze after all.
"I wonder how far your car can run on just Icee," she mused. "Like a meal"
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.
"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."
Breeding also had high words of praise for smoothies.
"Head and shoulders above the rest of the field," he said of his America's Cup smoothie, which he got at The Juice Stop. 812 Mass. St. "It's like a meal"
Ratzlahff encouraged trying different kinds of fruit with homemade smoothies. She said trips to get gas station refreshments also had a redeeming value.
"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.

MIPs: Officers attempt to curb underage drinking
BOTTLED AT THE DISTILLERY
THAD ALLENDER/KANSAN
Underage drinking is a crime many young people commit. Few are ever caught, however. This Class C misdemeanor can place first time offenders on diversion, suspend their driver's license or put them behind bars.

an additional midemeanor charge when someone is caught drinking underage. Tonkovich said.
"If you are in possession of an ID that is clearly falsely manufactured, chances are that you are going to be looked at more critically because you may have access to and be able to provide information about the person who is manufacturing IDs." Tonkovich said.
In the eyes of the law, possession of any identification other than your own is a misdemeanor, Tonkovich said.
Some bars in Lawrence rely on the eyes of employees at the door to weed out the underage crowd while others have scanners and cameras.
Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., is well known for taking fake IDs and playing them on the wall for anyone to see. The nearly 540 IDs posted are to serve as a hindrance to anyone underage who might trv to drink there.
"We take IDs because if we don't, they will use them somewhere else," said Adam Mansfield, manager of Louise's.
Most people don't put up a fight when they have their IDs taken at Louise's because they know they have done something wrong, Mansfield said. However, some tru to keep their IDs.
"We have kids come in who insist their IDs are real and tell us to go ahead and call the cops. When the cop gets there, the kid will take off running." Mansfield said.
Pat Munshrush, assistant manager of The Sandbar, 17 E. Eighth St., said, "We use a scanner to check if a license is valid, and we have a camera to take a picture of the ID."
The Sandbar never has been cited for allowing underage drinking.
Halsted of the Lawrence police said the police usually don't look at the tapes unless someone commits a crime at the bar.
There is not a big difference
between the bars that allow people to enter at 18 and the bars that are strictly 21 and over, Halsted said. The bars that allow 18-year-olds inside do have more MIPs issued than the other bars.
"Underage people can get inside without any problems. When they are in, they can ask someone who is 21 to buy them a drink. That's when it becomes a problem," Halsted said.
No matter what age group is allowed or how hard the IDs are checked at the door, someone may be watching from inside without offenders knowing it.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control agents are in plain clothes and have the job of watching who is drinking alcohol and who is serving it.
"Most of the time we are in and out, and no one knows we are
there," said Shannon Mlynan, enforcement chief of the ABC.
The ABC officers spend most of their time in college towns and at events where alcohol and underage people can be found together, such as concerts.
Throughout the state last year, the ABC found a 77 percent compliance rate with liquor laws in bars and liquor stores.
The ABC has a schedule of
when it will head to certain college towns and events, including the beginning of the school year.
Thoughts of ABC officers and police officers at bars no longer cause Finnigan or Flanagan to worry about their nights out. They don't have to look over their shoulders or use fake IDs. They are now of legal drinking
"When everyone enrolls, we do too." Mlynar said.

House: a home to more than tenants
CONTINUED FROM 4D
insistence of the city, which wrote the landlord a letter demanding their removal.
With couches visible on the porch next door and Christmas lights and neon beer signs on display throughout the neighborhood, it's hard for Strano and his house mates not to feel targeted. Even so, they removed the decorations and even volunteered to seal the new deck installed during the summer by the landlord and her two sons.
"The landlord's been supportive, but she doesn't want to get another letter from the city," Strano said. "It's really obvious to us the city considers us an annoyance. We're trying to build something different than this city."
The image shows a group of people gathered outside a building at night. The crowd is composed of men and women, with some standing and others seated on the ground. They appear to be enjoying a social event or gathering, possibly a celebration or concert, given the presence of stage lighting and a large audience. The setting suggests an outdoor venue, likely in a residential area or public space.
Strano, 19, sports a goatie and earrings in both ears and usually can be seen wearing a torn black T-shirt and a black baseball cap with patches sewn to the bill. He works mornings at Einstein Bros. and spends his free time promoting shows and activist activities rather than going to college. The "something different" he talks about stems from a common interest his house mates share in music and politics.
"All of us more or less listen to punk rock," Strano said. "I'm not going to say we're all anarchists here, but we all share lots of anarchist ideals."
Strano said anarchism was about cooperation, not lawlessness and disorder. He said he thought society's emphasis on materialism and competition caused everyone to feel unhappy, regardless of status.
"No matter who you are, whether you're a rich white male or an oppressed Native American, it's pretty safe to say you're not happy with the way you're living," he said. "What anarchism means is a non-hierarchical cooperative way of living."
This cooperative spirit is most clearly manifested in the three word punk rock credo: do it yourself. or. DIY.
"Punk started out as a counterculture, so bands couldn't get shows a lot of times, so now DIY became more of an anti-capitalist thing." Strano said. He said DIY is exhibited beyond the punk scene, citing the hip-hop community of Kansas City as an example. The DIY ethic is shown in the house in the give-and-take relationship the residents have
with the travelers who come through almost every week. The residents give traveling bands the money raised at the shows and provide them with a place to sleep. The travelers, in turn, help out with dishes and cleaning.
AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
On a Sunday night in late July, the only thing to do on the front porch was lament the humidity, so Strano, Desmond and four friends decided to make fliers for a house show that Thursday. Their first stop was Kinkos, where the group used a picture of a swimmer from last year's Lawrence High School yearbook as a backdrop for the flyer. Once the flyer was completed and 20 copies were made, the crew headed out to place them on bulletin boards and under the doors of local businesses.
On the way to Henry's, 11 W, Eighth St., a man who looked to be in his late thirties stopped Mike Wells, a 22-year-old from Olathe who hangs out at the Pirate House.
"Where's the big show at tonight? The Bottleneck?" The man asked.
Friends and fans gather outside the Pirate House at 14th and Kentucky during a break between bands inside. The Pirate House has gained national recognition as a music venue and attracts substantial crowds for the shows. This " it" he said. call the Math.
"No, we're just fliering for a show at the Pirate House," Wells said as the rest of the group went into the shop.
After the bombardment died down, the group moved one block north to another dumpster. Strano grabbed a piece of plywood from inside and jumped on to the corner of the dumpster, waving the plywood like a saber.
A foray of dumpster-divers continued all the way back to 14th and Ohio. At 2 a.m., the group returned home with a proud collection of books, silverware, an Alf Doll and a plastic art apron that read "Grandma Loves Me. She Gave Me
The man said good night and Wells went into the shop, where Zeke Altenbernd, a 16-year-old Lawrence High School student, was handing a flier to a girl with a pet rat named Mojo.
"I've got some friends at Fort Riley who always drive in to go to shows at the Pirate House," the girl said, with excitement as Mojo circled her neck. "I'll have to give them a call."
With most of the filers distributed, the small band headed down the alley behind Rudy's to look for discarded pizza. When they got there, the closest thing they found was a giant pile of dough in the dumpster. Desmond was quick to grab a handful, and it wasn't long before a full-fledged dough fight broke out in the alley.
Strano said activities like the potluck dinners, bike-fixing sessions and video showings helped give the Pirate House an open feel.
The evening's scavenging didn't yield much of practical use, but the house is filled with the products of dumpster trips that have. The freezer in the kitchen is filled with frozen dough, and a box of potatoes rescued from a dumpster sits in the corner.
"A lot of people get weirded out when you mention politics and vegan food, but when they realize it's just about having fun with good friends, they get into
Very little space, if any, is wasted in the house. The main room, which is usually dedicated to the bands, currently is covered with bicycles that were being worked on earlier in the day. Four more bicycles hang by their front tires in the main entryway. The room next to the kitchen, which residents have set up as a library, is filled with books and literature that have either been donated or found by residents and guests. The back porch is covered with cans and bins for recycling, and the tiny strip of a back yard has been converted to a garden.
Jen Pace, Liberty, Mo., sophomore, said that although she doesn't directly know anyone in the house, she feels comfortable bringing friends who don't usually listen to punk rock over to shows.
"It's different than the usual scene we've got at KU," she said. "It's a lot of fun there. Everybody's welcome and there are all sorts of different people."
The open-house policy, especially during shows, sometimes results in a party atmosphere where people drink outside rather than listening to the band. Aside from one instance in which there was a keg, members of the house never provide alcohol.
"I wish people didn't think of this as a party house, but I suppose it's inevitable." Strano said.
Though it might seem the house can't be any more active than it already is, Desmond said there were several things he would like to see happen, such as an art exhibit in the house or guest speakers on different topics. Lane, who helped start the Pirate House, is starting an infoshop in his new house at 1305 Tennessee. The house, which they plan to
call the Mother Earth Collective, will have literature, a screen-printing machine and be a place where people can have meetings. There will be no shows there.
For the time being, Strano said he had no plans to move on or change the name of the house.
"There's that big thought that I couldn't live any way else," he said. "I don't think I could ever change the name if I tried."
Pace said the house was a good place for people to overcome stereotypes.
"Everybody goes in with a few prejudices," she said. "Someone might never have talked to a person with a Mohawk before, but they'll find out that we all have a lot more in common than we thought."

Sailing the hot summer days away
Sport offers relaxing, good times amidst waves
by Luke Wetzel
Kansan staff writer
SOLARIS
Three brightly colored windsurfers and one noisy jet ski drove in circles in a cove near the Clinton Lake Marina as Charlie Rose secured a 420 sailboat onto the trailer hitch of his 1988 Toyota van.
"Yee-haw!" said Rose, Overland Park senior. "It's going to be fun today. We're going to be flying."
"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 that June 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 at Clinton didn't look any friendlier. The relentless flapping of the mainsail and the angry-looking waves suggested it would be a rocky voyage.
"It's going to be hairy, but we can swing it." Rose said.
Once Rose had set both the sails, Walters hopped in, launching the boat with his momentum. Within minutes, the 14-foot boat looked like a toy as it sailed towards 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 7.
"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 camp in camp
Michigan.

Michigan "I used 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 club also held 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 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 was that anybody could learn sailing in a day but that it took a lifetime to perfect.
"It takes 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 a while to learn. Lots of people call it chess on water."
or 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.
Walters said the strong wind threw them off balance.
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.
"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.
up.
"That's what we call a death roll." Rose said. This time the boat was upside-down. Rose ducked under the water to push up the centerboard, a slab of wood which serves as a kind of fin in the middle of the boat. He then emerged to climb on top of the boat, using the board as leverage to flip the boat upright.
After cruising back into the shore, striking the sails and loading the boat, Rose and Walters retired to the parking lot to munch on Triscuits, drink beer and compare war wounds.
"The wind today is like an unruly horse," he said. "It doesn't want to take the bit."
healing process either."
"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
hearing process check
Rose said the club hoped to build a dock to store the team's boats right by the water. That way, members of the team wouldn't need to hitch them to a trailer and drive them all the way down to the dock.
"I think that will make the club itself more successful," he said.
Anderson said she still found sailing relaxing despite participating in races and helping run the business side of the club.
"It's my release," she said.
"Instead of going out and burning down houses, I go out sailing."

Bovine beauties parade through Plaza
Cows to be auctioned on Internet after display ends
by Luke Wetzel Kansan staff writer
This April, Amy Carlson's career as a muralist and illustrator led her somewhere she never imagined she'd be — a giant warehouse full of bubblewrapped fiberglass cattle.
The warehouse on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., held hundreds of the bovine-looking creatures that were actually blank canvasses for artists who were allowed to select from three cow poses: standing, grazing and reclining.
"It was kind of surreal going in there," Carlson said. "You didn't know they were cows, they were so wrapped up."
Carlson is one of six Lawrence artists who lent their talent to CowParade Kansas City 2001. The cattle, which were sponsored by various businesses and organizations, will be on display throughout the Kansas City area through Sept. 14.
Once the more than 300 cows are removed, they will be auctioned live and on the Internet, with part of the proceeds benefiting the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, The American Royal and Friends of the Zoo. Previous CowParades took place in Chicago in 1999 and New York City in 2000.
Carlson's cow, titled "Cowmelot," is a grazing cow
adorned with a fleur-de-lis-covered cape and helmet. Carlson said her idea grew from interest in medieval costumes and armor.
"You know, they used to dress their horses up, so I thought I'd see what this stuff looked like on a cow," she said. "I submitted the proposal the day before the deadline because I forgot about it. I thought, 'I'll just slam this thing together and see what happens.'"
After learning her design was selected, Carlson was given $1,000 and about a month to complete it. She made the cape by sewing together fiberglass screens and screwing them to the cow, then adding layers of fiberglass resin for the desired finish. Carlson, who has also completed public art at Pinckey Elementary school, 810 W. Sixth St., and at the East Lawrence Community Center, 1245 E. 15th St., said the short duration and visibility of the cow parade made it unique from other displays.
"I just like it because people who don't usually pay attention to art can enjoy it," she said.
Dave Loewenstein, a professional muralist who has completed public art in Northern Ireland as well as Lawrence, also completed a cow for the parade.
His cow, the "Co-walligator", features a naked artist painting in the belly of an alligator. Loewenstein said the limitations and copyright-forfeiture imposed by the CowParade corporation prompted him to design his cow in a satirical manner.
"You know, they used to dress their horses up, so I thought I'd see what this stuff looked like on a cow." Amy Carlson Lawrence artist
"To me, a Co-walligator is somebody or something that does a poor job of masking its bad intentions," he said. "It's a wolfin
sheep's clothing kind of thing."
Loewenstein said the CowParade caused a stir among those who saw cows as the lowest-common denominator of public art. He said a group of artists even approached the Kansas City commission, asking them to spend money on other artistic projects instead.
"I appreciate both points of view," he said. "I'm glad I did it in the long run, although a lot of my artist friends are giving me hell for it. It's getting a lot of people out walking around looking at something that takes some creative output."
Lawrence illustrator and KU graduate Kristin Dempsey said she wanted a design that would appeal to Kansas City. What she came up with was a playful twist on the Kansas City barbecue legacy.
Her cow features fruits, vegetables and coffee on a yellow background.
"I decided to do a cow that had no meat on it-and by that I don't mean a skeleton." she said.
Dempsey said friends have paid more attention to her cow

than any other project she has done.
Dempsey said the unusual shape and uneven surface of the cow made her project more consuming than she predicted. She also had to use acrylic paints instead of oil paints because of the drying time. Despite the obstacles, Dempsey said she was pleased with the result of her month-long effort.
"It certainly has created quite a stir," she said. "They have succeeded in making themselves quite visible."

Murder case no problem for recent KU law grad
Bob Thomas serves as defense lawyer in murder trial
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
Bob Thomas is preparing to take on one of the biggest cases in state history, and he is doing it after receiving his degree last year from the University of Kansas Law School.
Johnson County District Judge John Anderson III appointed two experience death penalty defense lawyers from Missouri, Patrick Berrigan and Sean O'Brien, to help Thomas in the defense of John E. Robinson. Sr.
He is also charged with the 1985 murder of a Kansas City teen and arranging the illegal adoption of her infant daughter.
Robinson is charged with capital murder in the deaths of two women found in barrels on his property in Linn County.
Robinson, who originally declared himself indigent, rejected free, state-appointed counsel and retained the services of Thomas earlier this year.
Thomas made no objection to having counsel appointed to assist him.
"I didn't object because I will use the help." he said.
Prosecuting attorneys in the case asked Judge Anderson to consider appointing assisting counsel because of the overwhelming complexity and importance of the case, and Thomas' relative lack of experience.
According to Thomas, there are more than 20,000 pages of discovery evidence to sort through, and because it is a capital murder case, there will be added litigation and punishment phases.
As a result, Thomas said he didn't expect the case to go to trial for some time.
Thomas G. Stacy, professor of law, said that there is a trend in courts around the country to try to ensure that capital cases are decided fairly and accurately.
"There is a greater concern than say, five years ago, that things will go awry," Stacv said.
Recently, the governor of Illinois placed a moratorium on the death penalty because of concerns over mishandled cases.
Stacy said the prosecution wants to make sure that the defendant receives the most competent defense that he can in order to make the public feel assured about the outcome.
The state legislature in Nebraska tried to do the same thing, but was vetoed by the governor.
Stacy said the standards for overturning a conviction for incompetent defense are very demanding, but a surprising number get overturned for one reason or another.
Thomas knows that by taking this case, he is now in the spotlight.
"It's exciting and at the same time stressful," Thomas said. "In cases of this nature, I don't care if you're F. Lee Bailey it's going to be tough."
it's going to be tough."
Tim Glassco, Wichita third-year law student, appreciates the fact that in a year he could be in the same position. He said Thomas' case gave him a degree of comfort.
"It show's that if you're confident in your abilities, it doesn't really matter how much experience you have," Glassco said.

Caller ID now in University housing
New service now offered by the University also increases students' rent
By Laurie Harrison Kansan staff writer
Students living on campus now know who is on the other end of the phone.
After a year of work, Network and Telecommunications Services has provided caller ID in all University housing.
The University increased the rent to provide the service.
John Louis, director of Networking and Telecommunications Services, said in spite of the increase, no profits were made from it.

Louis called the addition "student-driven" and said NTS started to consider adding the service only after students requested it. NTS also surveyed the students to see what kind of interest existed.
Kent Lavene, complex director for McCollum Hall, said the service will be helpful to students.
He said students and staff will now be able to address harassing telephone calls residents received last year.
"It'll be easier to track down if the call is from campus. It's not fool-proof, but it's a good plan," Lavene said.
However, despite the possible effects of the service, one resident disagrees with the rent increase.
"It's preposterous," said Ambriel Renn-Scanlan, Sellards Scholarship Hall president and Topeka senior.
"I didn't have any warning about it. I didn't have a say in it," Renn-Scanlan

Chancellor challenges students at convocation
Mills asks freshmen to try something new, step out of 'comfort zone'
Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Students should be proud to have chosen a University recognized as one of the top 25 schools in the nation, Chancellor Robert Hemenway told students last night during the University of Kansas Convocation.
Hemenway used the 136th annual ceremony, held at the Lied Center, as an opportunity to tell freshmen how important they were at the University. He gave them encouragement during the official opening of the academic year.
"A KU degree is not for everyone," Hemenway said at the Lied Center. Not all will measure up. We believe you will."
The chancellor challenged everyone to be honest with themselves, to be honest with their beliefs and to stand up for their religious faiths. He told them not to fear change, but to embrace it.
Justin Mills, student body president, advised students to make the next four years as memorable as possible. He urged freshmen to get involved in a

"I want to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone," Mills said.
For some people, the ceremony was part of a continuing tradition of beginning the school year.
Brian Powell, Barnhart, Mo. senior, said he had attended convocation four times.
"It's good to see everybody together in one place to kick off the school year," Powell said.

School approves removal of historic houses
Neighborhood group raises concerns about Oread demolition project
By Courtney Kansan staff writer
The Campus Historic Preservation Board unanimously approved a plan to demolish three houses on the 1300 block of Ohio Street to make way for two scholarship halls.
Changes may be nearing for the Oread neighborhood, as the University of Kansas approved the demolition of three houses Tuesday night.
But members of the Oread Neighborhood Association are concerned with the possible demolition.
"I don't think they should tear down houses to make a parking garage," said Terry Riordan, president of the organization, referring to the size and appearance of the scholarship halls if they were built.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture and urban design and board member, said "Clearly the issue for the neighborhood is that there is a scale and character to the neighborhood to which they are a part. The concern is that whatever goes there is compatible in a sense."
Ultimately, the construction would take place in one of Lawrence's historic neighborhoods.
"It was a somewhat difficult decision in the sense that we had to sort out what

the historic implications were," Gaunt said. "Our responsibility is following state guidelines for state historic preservation."
The buildings earmarked for demolition are between Spooner Hall and the Usher house, which is home to the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Both buildings are registered on the National Register for Historic Preservation, and they are within 500 feet of the buildings to be demolished. That means the area in question falls under the joint jurisdiction of the city and the University. When that situation takes place, an environs review is necessary before the project can progress.

CAMPUS Local dentist donates $485,000 worth of beetles to University
A Lawrence dentist and his wife have given 10,000 to 20,000 tiger beetles annually to the University of Kansas Entomological Museum since 1991 donations that were valued at almost $485.000.
David W. and Judy Brzoska capture, clean, mount, identify, and label each of the specimens. David Brzoska, who has a master's degree in entomology and a doctor of dental surgery degree from Ohio State University, has collected the beetles for research since the 1960s.
As part of the 4 million specimens at the KU museum, the tiger beetle collection improved the museum tremendously by making the University a center for tiger beetle research, said Steven Ashe, senior museum curator.
"It's absolutely unique," Ashe said.

Man gives $53,600 to Fine Arts in honor of his late daughter
De Lancy A. Smith, a retired business executive, donated $53,600 to the School of Fine Arts to create a scholarship in memory of his late daughter. Smith gave the money to the Kansas University Endowment Association to establish the Stephanie Ann Smith Memorial Scholarship.
Smith said the scholarship was a good way to help the school.
Stephanie Smith came to the University in 1964. She created store displays to pay for college, and she participated in theatre design for Rock Chalk Revue performances. In 1966, breast cancer was diagnosed and she was treated for it. Eight months later, her cancer returned, and she died in 1967.
John Scarfie, Director of Communications for the Endowment Association, said the scholarship would be awarded annually to a student in the school.
"It will go to a student pursuing a bachelors degree in theatre design with a preference for students who have chosen a concentration in seam design," Scarfe said.
The first scholarship was awarded to theatre design student Emily Elder, Wellington junior.

State treasurer still talking about governor race plans
TOPEKA -- State Treasurer Tim Shallenburger is more interested in running for governor than he was several months ago.
He said Wednesday that he might not wait on Congressman Jerry Moran, who represents the 1st District of western and central Kansas, to decide whether to seek the Republican nomination next year.
"I'm actually probably leaning more toward running than I was 90 days ago, but 90 days ago, I was probably leaning against it," Shallenburger said during an interview.
Shallenburger, from Baxter Springs, was elected treasurer in 1998, after serving 12 years in the Kansas House, the last four as its speaker.
The only announced candidate for the GOP nomination is House Speaker Kent Glasscock, of Manhattan.

Committee dedicates summer to library dean search plans
By Eve Lamborn
Kansan staff writer
Some members of the committee to select a new Dean of Libraries spent the summer encouraging potential candidates to apply for the job.
A subgroup within the committee identified and contacted dean candidates in an effort to turn likely applicants into actual candidates, said Bill Carswell, committee chair.
The library dean search committee also spent the summer making the necessary preparations for the upcoming selection process.
Those preparations included creating a position description, placing advertisements for the position, recruiting candidates through minority publications and writing interview questions.
The committee will begin to discuss applications after Sept. 10, with plans to create a shorter list of names. From that short list, they will create an interview list sometime in October. Carswell said.
He said the committee wanted to give the Provost a final list of a few names, complete with each candidate's strengths and weaknesses in November. But Carswell said that deadline was "very ambitious."
Keith Russell, the former dean of libraries, retired last January because of health reasons.
Carswell emphasized that the committee wanted a new library dean with leadership skills and experience in "providing enhanced library services," which meant increasing both digital and non-digital services in an effort to make information more accessible.
The committee also wants a dean with strong communication skills, a commitment to diversity and good fund-raising ability.
"We want someone who will lead us into the future and provide a vision to guide the library," said Jenny Mehmedovic, assistant to the Vice Chancellor and search staff facilitator said.
Carswell said the library sits at the center of the information age,but it is also in the midst of changes.
"We want someone who will recognize these changes and creatively lead the library," he said. "Books don't disappear, but there will be changes even with printed information."
According to the position description, the Dean of Libraries manages the library budget, initiates fund raising, and creates "a vision for the libraries that serves the academic mission of Kansas University."

Oread: Deadline in 30 days
Dennis Enslinger, historic resources administrator for the city, said the state's Environ Review Law mandated the review of any project which fell in an area of joint jurisdiction.
The city and the University drafted an agreement to outline the review process. Both sides set up review boards. The University set up the Campus Historic Preservation Board, and the city established the Historic Resources Commission.
The first step of the review is approval of the demolition by the University board.
The approval meeting lasted some three hours Tuesday night before the board reached an agreement.
"There is no negative impact on the two historic register buildings within 500 feet, that is Spooner Hall and the Usher house," Gaunt said, which was why the board approved the demolition.
The next step in the review process is for the city's Historic Resources Commission to review and approve the demolition. Under the agreement, the commission has 30 days after the board's approval to meet, discuss and come to an agreement.
Riordan told the City Commission Tuesday that 30 days was not long enough for the city to
adequately examine the situation and reach a decision.
"To review is fine, but to make a final determination in 30 days is to lock them into something." Riordan said. He said that problems, which should have been addressed in the beginning, often crept up.
If the city approves the demolition, the project will continue. If not, the commission and the University board will meet jointly to discuss the project and try to reach a conclusion.
But Jim Long, assistant provost for planning and facilities management and member of the University board, said a 30-day period was plenty of time to make a decision.
"It gives time for the appropriate notice to those concerned," Long said.
If the Historic Resources Commission approves the demolition and construction of the scholarship halls, Gaunt said the University board agreed to stay involved with the project to build structures that fit with the existing buildings in the neighborhood.

Birth control device found safer than formerly thought
A new study has exonerated the IUD, the birth control device that has been shunned in the United States since the 1970s because of fears it makes women sterile.
The federally-funded study found that never-pregnant women who had used a modern intrauterine device had no increased risk of their fallopian tubes becoming blocked.
"The IUD is much safer than previously thought," said David Hubacher, lead researcher and an epidemiologist at Family Health International of Durham, N.C., a nonprofit research group.
The study does not clear the Dalton Shield, which started the IUD scare in the 1970s. Unlike other IUDs, it had multiple filaments that dangled from the device to let women know it was in the correct position. Doctors believe the filaments let bacteria climb easily into the uterus. The Dalton Shield was not studied in this latest research and was taken off the market long ago.
Accuracy of test questioned in drunken driving case
HAYS — Attorney for a woman charged with drunken driving are asking a judge to rule on whether a commonly used field test is scientific enough to be presented as evidence.
And whatever the judge's decision, prosecutors expect the case against Andrea L. Coberly to move through the appellate courts and eventually establish case law in Kansas.
"The case itself is just the vehicle we're using to get it up to the Supreme Court," Ellis County Attorney Tom Drees said.
Law enforcement officers say the horizontal nystagmus test—a field test on how smoothly a person's eyes follow a moving object—is one of their best tools in determining whether to administer a breath test for alcohol.
At issue, though, is whether the test can stand on its own.
If the gaze test is found to be scientifically accurate as a sign the driver is impaired, it will open the door to courtroom testimony in cases across the state. Drees said.
"It becomes particularly important when the driver refuses a preliminary breath test." Drees said.
Coberly, 23, was charged with driving under the influence after a traffic stop north of Hays in June 2000.
A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper, suspecting Coberly was intoxicated, asked her to perform three tests, one of which was the gaze test.
Typically, an officer holds a pen about a foot away from the driver's eyes and moves it horizontally, watching for the driver's eyes to twitch. If the eyes twitch, that is interpreted by the officer as a sign the driver has been drinking.

New leaders strive for executive inclusion
Browning works to make good on campaign-season promises
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Kyle Brownning said making recycling accessible in residence halls was one of his top priorities this year as student body vice president.
"It looks like we're going to be recycling in all halls for once," Browning said.
But some students remain skeptical of whether recycling will really work.
"Some students will do it," said sophomore Randy Rucker, an Ellsworth Hall resident. "I'm not going to go out of my way, but if it is there, I will do it."
Michael Maher, Overland Park freshman, said he was glad Student Senate was taking the initiative.
Browning and Justin Mills, student body president, spent the summer developing a "Disorientation Guide." The 36-page text is not anti-orientation. Browning said, but it contains information about KU and the Lawrence area that students often don't discover until they have lived in Lawrence for a while.
"I think it will work if (Senate) just puts in a little effort," Maher said.
"It's something that people have been talking about bringing back for years," said Browning. "They used to print them back in the 80s."
Browningalso took on revising the campus bulletin board with the intention of providing two separate boards — one used by the University and the other available for students to post information.
Browning said he hoped that any animosity stemming from the April Student Senate elections had subsided.
"To be honest, this summer has been pretty good," Browning said. "There are a few people who are going to fight us, but we think the stuff we're working for is good."
He said the Senate training sessions, scheduled during sorority recruitment week, caused some concern among senators. But he said there would be a make-up
session for senators who couldn't make the training.
"A lot of people though I was excluding greeks, and that's not the case at all," Browning said.

Mills wants to leave hard feelings behind says minority retention still his priority
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Despite some animosity in Student Senate just after Justin Mills' election as student body president last semester, Mills said he was looking forward to a productive year.
"There was some tension during the summer, but people have
been supportive of the Student Senate," Mills said. "If we just argue, nothing will happen. I think it has all faded, and is in the past."
Mills said he refused to fester over proverbial spilt milk, instead focusing his attention on what it would take to bring the Senate together.
"I think there are just a few isolated people who are going to cause problems," Mills said. "It's going to take dedication to get things done."
HANW WEEK 2001
Student body Vice President Kyle Browning, left, and President Justin Mills are planning changes for campus this year. The two have worked to implement a recycling program for University residence halls.
THAD ALLANDER/KANSAN
Mills said the crown jewel of his work would remain minority recruitment and retention. He said people weren't aware of the organizations and opportunities available to minorities throughout the University.
"There's so many programs at KU that people don't know about," Mills said. "It's important for people to understand each other. You can do a lot to increase awareness."
Santos Nunéz, program director for the Multicultural Resource Center, said she looked forward to working with Mills on creating awareness around campus.
"I think that he's doing a good job of getting people excited," Nunéz said.
"We would like to see ways our organization can help others. That's in the future," she said.
Kate Weber, Kansas City junior, said she was pleased that Mills had made minority recruitment his highest priority.
"I think college is a really good opportunity to get exposed to diversity," Weber said. "It's a great opportunity to learn about other cultures."
Mills said that students needed to know how Senate ran, so that they could become more proactive.
"My overall goal is to increase awareness of what Senate does," Mills said.
"I don't see anything that's going to be a major snag."

OPINION EDITOR'S NOTE
Revel in freedom: Speak out on the opinion page
We hope that you won't recognize the opinion page this semester. That you wonder - when you pick up the paper - what will be happening on the opinion page that day. We hope that sometimes you see yourself reflected in columns, editorials, cartoons and even the Free for All. And we hope that just as often you are exposed to opinions you don't share, that you're shocked, and that you're moved to action. If it doesn't stir you un, we aren't doing our job.
The news and sports pages of the Kansan are the work of aspiring journalists-people who can't help but think about inverted pyramids and their grades when they write. But the opinion page is the sounding board for the opinions of all students and faculty. You don't have to be a writer. You don't even have to know who William Allen White is.
we are going to aggressively tackle issues that affect the University, Lawrence and Kansas. We are going to leave columns dealing soley with national politics to the New York Times, which can do them better, and focus our attention on a critique of the issues that affect you every day on campus and in Lawrence.
We will, however, write about politics as they impact the price you pay for gas at Amoco, the tax on your Free State beer and the cost of health care. If you can't see it happening here in your community, you won't see it here on the opinion page either.
The Free for All is back, and we're a little amazed that more of you didn't leave us messages to print as you poured back into town. The Free for All is unadulturated expression, and it's the reason many of you open the paper every morning. So start calling and see your own words, albeit unattributed, in print.
We can cover issues more thoroughly with a series of editorials and columns than with just one. We're going to hash out commercialization on campus, student and faculty diversity, the expansion of the University into Oread neighborhood, the course retake policy, faculty salaries and much more. We want to hear from all the players and we're going to follow issues as long as they are relevant to students and faculty.
The Kansan pages have been redesigned, so the opinion page is a little smaller. With less space, we will print fewer polls and person on the street interviews. Instead, that space will be for columns, editorials, and letters to the editor.
What we need from you as a reader is to be proactive. Use the opinion page to write about what you think is wonderful, or horrible, or unjust on this campus. We try, but Kansan editors can't read your mind. You've got to tell us. Exercise your freedom of speech, or somebody else is bound to try and speak for you.
PERSPECTIVE
Kansan's new look and staff only the surface of changes
I thought I'd be clever and phone in this column to the Free for All, figuring more people would read it.
The message went something like this:
Welcome back to a new semester. The Kansan changes its staff and look every semester, but I'd like to think this time around we're really making some . . . BEEP!
I couldn't say everything in 20 seconds—and believe me, I talk fast—so I'll have to write the traditional column after all.
When you picked up today's Kansan, you probably didn't recognize it. During the spring and summer, several Kansan staffers, led by designer Kyle Ramsey, worked to change the entire look of the Kansan. The goal was to make the newspaper more attractive and accessible to readers.
That starts with the size of the paper itself. It's actually one inch narrower. Lots of newspapers are switching to the smaller size to save money, but for readers, it means shorter, more concise stories. The Kansan will also be easier to handle, making it less conspicuous when you read it during those boring lectures.

Commentary
of the Kansan, we've made some changes to our staff, as well. Every semester, the entire Kansan staff — from the editor-in-chief down — changes completely. This semester in particular, we've tried to recruit more new people to bring in different ideas and perspectives. My hope is that readers will challenge us as a staff, and that we'll challenge ourselves, to consider our content and decisions from multiple points of view.
We have two readers' representatives who will work as liaisons between readers and the Kansan. One has worked as a Kansan reporter and copy editor; the other is new to the newsroom. Their job is to be a sounding board for readers, to be a consistent Kansan presence in the community and to represent readers inside the newsroom.
pated in diversity training sessions this week at the Multicultural Resource Center. Does that mean we're suddenly perfect people? Of course not. But we all learned something, and we're striving to be more aware of our readers as we're doing our job producing each day's issue.
Kansan staff members also partici-
Indeed, Kansan staffers are students like everyone else. You may see us at a coffee shop, relaxing at a local bar, or studying in the library. We have varying levels of experience - some of us have worked at large, professional papers, and some are rookies in journalism. We set high standards for ourselves, but we're all still learning.
The real test of our success is whether readers pick up the paper every day and read something other than the Free for All.
So let us know what you think. Yes, you can call Free for All, but you can also drop by the newsroom or call us at 864-4810 and talk to more than an answering machine. Plus, you won't have to speak your piece in 20 seconds or less.

PERSPECTIVE
For the past 20 years, the word "recycling" has become entangled in our vocabulary. Most Generation Xers grew up hearing about how much trash they threw away and how landfills were filling up. In fact, I doubt there is any student who would argue that recycling isn't beneficial for our earth.
Campus recycling doesn't do enough
However, the attitude surrounding recycling on our campus is ridiculous. Finding a place to deposit a can or newspaper for recycling on campus can be tricky even if you are willing to search.
Ultimately, the University of Kansas' recycling program doesn't accomplish what it could. The program recycles about 2,000 tons of material every month, but this number is quite small compared with how much recyclable material gets thrown away every day on campus. Compared to the University of Oregon and the University of Washington (whose recycling programs have been in place for 25 years, compared with KU's four), the amount of recycling which takes place on campus could be much larger.
For those who do not know, KU's recycling program receives funding directly from the students. Every student pays an extra dollar each semester, which pays for the salaries of part-time student employees. The administration also matches every dollar, which provides the department with supplies and equipment. Student Senate was responsible for adopting this policy in 1997.

Commentary
The University's administration is fairly stubborn on the subject. Although the Environmental Health and Safety department has adopted an environmental policy, these recommendations have yet to hold the Chancellor's endorsement. Because recycling involves start-up and maintenance costs, some departments opt to throw everything away.
So why isn't the recycling effort currently pursued more on our campus? Several reasons exist for our lack of recycling facilities and funding at the University.
Similarly, recycling at the Kansas Union is low. The Kansas Union has areas to recycle cardboard, aluminum, plastic bottles, and several kinds of paper. But the Kansas Union has six-floors, and recycling bins only exist on one floor.
Some might think outdoor recycling bins are ugly, but I think thousands of newspapers littering our campus at the end of the day is much less aesthetically pleasing than a couple of wooden recycling bins.
Outdoor recycling is also a problem. We currently do not have any places outside for recyclables, even
though KU Recycling has proposed the idea several times in the past.
Luckily, recycling in the dorms is beginning to pick up and that's definitely a step in the right direction. According to Victoria Silva, program director for KU recycling, the program should experience growth in the next two years.
the next two years. The growth of recycling programs will inevitably be a slow process. However, the plan is simple. The University needs to adopt an environmentally-sound policy. The University needs to pressure departments to recycle. The University needs to support outdoor recycling bins on campus. Chancellor Hemenway needs to come out and endorse this stuff, or else nothing will happen anytime soon. Lastly, you need to take the initiative not only to demand a more available recycling program on campus, but also also to get involved yourself in the recycling effort. Because students were responsible for initiating the program, any growth will have to start with them.

Hawk Week 'Beach' event promotes diversity, entertainment

J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Students took over Wescoe Beach yesterday as part of Hawk Week 2001.
Many students gather outside of Wescoe Hall to watch and participate in the annual Hawk week activity, beach volleyball
KAREN CLAWSON/KANSAN
About 100 students of all backgrounds gathered in front of Wescoe to win prizes, eat free food and watch entertainment at Take Over the Beach.
The event is sponsored by the Office or New Student Orientation and HAWK Link.
HAWKlink is a retention program primarily geared toward minority students to help them get acclimated to the University.
"The event is to introduce students of color to different organizations," said Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs. "I hope they will get associated with offices to get involved."
"It sounded like something I should come see," she said.
Guevara said she thought it was good that the University put on events like Take Over the Beach.
"It makes me want to get involved," she said.
Groups such as Black Student Union, the Hispanic American Leadership Organization and historically Black and Latino fraternities and sororities had information tables.
Inspirational Gospel Voices and U.N.I.T.Y. Hip-hop Dance Troupe performed.
Some of the historically Black fraternities and sororities also performed. Alpha Phi Alpha members had a probate show.
Chris Haydel, sergeant at arms for the fraternity and a KU graduate said the show introduced the fraternity's new members.
After a step performance, where the fraternity members performed to rap and hip-hop music, a white limousine pulled up on Jayhawk Boulevard.
The three new members and Haydel came out dressed in three-piece suits and were introduced by Haydel.
Delta Sigma Theta members such as Jennifer Morrow, Kansas City, Kan. senior, and Quanita Crable, Wichita senior performed too.
They said their sorority participated in order to introduce new minority stu
dents to their organization.
"I like to see other minority students participate on campus." Morrow said.
Besides performances, students could also win free Hawk Week T-shirts if they correctly answered KU trivia.
Anissa Vitale, Shawneen senior and HAWK Link guide, said she hoped the event would help students meet other
students.
Reach Mendoza at 864-4810
Josh Arce, Topea senior, said he had attended HAWK Link before.
"It helps to make you feel more comfortable; everything's more accessible," Arce said. "It's like the best support group."

Blood banks afraid of running dry
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The government is starting a day-to-day tracking system to monitor the nation's blood supply and sound an alarm when shortages loom.
It comes none too soon: A tight blood supply, once a problem only around holidays, has become a yearround crisis for many parts of the country. It may worsen next month when many donors are turned away as a precaution against mad cow disease — and as hospitals grapple with sharp increases in the price of blood.
"The shortage thing is just starting. It's going to get worse," said Tom Wadsworth of Fletcher All Health Care, Vermont's largest hospital.
"We may find ourselves back in the pre-1970s days where if we're doing an operation, we have to check the blood bank first and make sure something's in the refrigerators," adds Dr. Christopher Lowell, Massachusetts General Hospital's transfusion director.
In the last year, repeated shortages have forced hospitals from New York
to California to postpone elective surgeries and issue emergency calls for donations. Last month, supplies in part of Illinois reached their lowest point in eight years. Los Angeles blood banks are debating if donors should be paid. And the government is considering a ban on blood imported from Europe, a move that could cut New York City's blood supply by a third.
In 1999, the latest figures available, Americans donated 13.6 million usable units of blood, and 12.4 million units were transfused, says the National Blood Data Resource Center. Because donated blood lasts only a few weeks and demand has risen steadily for a decade, that's too small a margin for comfort.
No one knows just how tight today's supply is because there has been no real-time monitoring—until now.
The Department of Health and Human Services is signing up 29 hospitals around the country to report every day how much blood they have in stock and how much they used in
the preceding 24 hours.
Their information will be posted on a public Internet site sometime this fall, providing a snapshot of how much blood is available day-to-day in different regions.
that's when the American Red Cross is set to turn away thousands of donors who spent a cumulative time of three months in Britain since 1980, or six months anywhere in Europe. It's a precaution against the theoretical risk that the human version of mad cow disease might be transmitted by donors exposed to infected beef overseas. Experts predict it could cut blood donors by 9 percent. So the Red Cross is writing tens of thousands of donors, urging the less traveled to give blood more
"That will be the earliest warning when we're heading for a serious problem," explained Dr. Gerald Sandler, transfusion chief at Georgetown University Hospital, one of the participants.
The tracking begins at a crucial time — hospitals are fearful of more shortages next month.
often.
Pricey blood has many hospitals considering starting their own inhouse blood bank like the one that supplies half of Massachusetts General's supply. Vermont's 14 hospitals are discussing trying that or importing blood from a Red Cross competitor outside the state. Other hospitals are considering trying to save and recycle patients' own blood to reduce surgical transfusions.
Red Cross director Bernadine Healy said the price increase paid for numerous new safety tests and procedures performed on blood, many that blood banks began years ago without passing on the cost. But many hospitals argue the charges are too high, saying the Red Cross holds a monopoly in parts of the country where independent blood banks might charge less.
Still, it is getting more expensive to process blood no matter who does the work. Expect federal blood advisers soon to tackle whether the government should do more to pay for
Same-sex homes on the rise, census says
Figures dispel stereotypes, improve outlook
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Same-sex couples head nearly 600,000 homes in the United States, according to census data considered the federal government's most thorough count yet of homosexuals. A gay or lesbian couple led a household in nearly every county in America.
Of the 594,391 same-sex couple homes in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, nearly 16 percent were in California, and 8 percent in New York, according to the
2000 census. San Francisco had one of the highest shares among metropolitan areas, while gay and lesbian partners also settled in rural parts of the Midwest and Deep South.
But reflecting how widely dispersed these households are, there was at least one same-sex couple home in 99 percent of all U.S. counties.
Such living arrangements still comprise a tiny share of the nation's households just more than one-half of 1 percent of the 105.5 million U.S.homes.
Yet many gay rights groups said the count alone offered proof of the growing social acceptance of homosexuality. David Smith, senior
strategist for Human Rights Campaign, said the statistics would be used to buttress arguments concerning such issues as legal recognition of same-sex couples.
"The census figures will change the debate for many Americans — from an abstract controversy read about in newspapers or seen in noisy debates on television to a discussion about real families, real people and real lives," Smith said.
The results also dispel stereotypes that homosexuality is limited to large urban centers and college towns, Smith said.

Group recruits 'correspondents' for abortion war
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — An anti-abortion group has begun recruiting Indiana residents to photograph patients and staff members outside abortion clinics in hopes of publishing them online and on public access television.
The group considers the photographers "abortion war correspondents," but the group's tactics have outraged traditional journalists and those on both sides of the abortion debate.
Photographs from abortion clinics in 21 states already are online through the Georgia-based Christian Gallery News Service, which calls itself the "charter member of the abortion abolition press."
"We are not supportive of threats or intimidation," Mike Fichter, executive director of Indiana Right to Life, told The Indianapolis Star. "We are supportive of reaching women through education."
Dinah Farrington, vice president of public policy for Planned Parenthood of Greater Indiana, had stronger words: "This isn't journalism. It borders on domestic terrorism."
Planned Parenthood operates three of the state's 10 clinics that provide abortion services. Images from Indiana clinics could go online and on television within a month, said
Jonathan O'Toole, a Missouri resident recruiting correspondents in Indiana this week.
He said he already had found one willing family, which he declined to name.
"One of the reasons abortion is still legal is the failure of the news media to present the images of aborted babies," O'Toole said.
Legally, anyone can stand on a public sidewalk and take a picture of something in plain view. However, problems arise if someone trespasses on private property to get photos, said Lucy Dalglish, executive director of The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press in Virginia.
And this anti-abortion group covers only one side of the abortion issue, Davis said. "It's like going to cover a war and only covering the evil, godless enemy."
The Christian Gallery News Service also operates the anti-abortion Web site that contains the Nuremberg Files, which lists the names of abortion providers and crosses off those who have died.
The legality of the Nuremberg Files was tested in court, but a federal appeals court in March upheld the right to publish such a list.

Blood banks afraid of running dry
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The government is starting a day-to-day tracking system to monitor the nation's blood supply and sound an alarm when shortages loom.
It comes none too soon: A tight blood supply, once a problem only around holidays, has become a yearround crisis for many parts of the country. It may worsen next month when many donors are turned away as a precaution against mad cow disease—and as hospitals grapple with sharp increases in the price of blood.
"The shortage thing is just starting. It's going to get worse," said Tom Wadsworth of Fletcher Allen Health Care, Vermont's largest hospital.
"We may find ourselves back in the pre-1970s days where if we're doing an operation, we have to check the blood bank first and make sure something's in the refrigerators," adds Dr. Christopher Lowell, Massachusetts General Hospital's transfusion director.
In the last year, repeated shortages have forced hospitals from New York
to California to postpone elective surgeries and issue emergency calls for donations. Last month, supplies in part of Illinois reached their lowest point in eight years. Los Angeles blood banks are debating if donors should be paid. And the government is considering a ban on blood imported from Europe, a move that could cut New York City's blood supply by a third.
In 1999, the latest figures available, Americans donated 13.6 million usable units of blood, and 12.4 million units were transfused, says the National Blood Data Resource Center. Because donated blood lasts only a few weeks and demand has risen steadily for a decade, that's too small a margin for comfort.
No one knows just how tight today's supply is because there has been no real-time monitoring—until now.
The Department of Health and Human Services is signing up 29 hospitals around the country to report every day how much blood they have in stock and how much they used in
the preceding 24 hours
Their information will be posted on a public Internet site sometime this fall, providing a snapshot of how much blood is available day-to-day in different regions.
"That will be the earliest warning when we're heading for a serious problem," explained Dr. Gerald Sandler, transfusion chief at Georgetown University Hospital, one of the participants.
The tracking begins at a crucial time - hospitals are fearful of more shortages next month.
That's when the American Red Cross is set to turn away thousands of donors who spent a cumulative time of three months in Britain since 1980, or six months anywhere in Europe. It's a precaution against the theoretical risk that the human version of mad cow disease might be transmitted by donors exposed to infected beef overseas. Experts predict it could cut blood donors by 9 percent. So the Red Cross is writing tens of thousands of donors, urging the less traveled to give blood more
often.
Pricey blood has many hospitals considering starting their own inhouse blood bank like the one that supplies half of Massachusetts General's supply. Vermont's 14 hospitals are discussing trying that or importing blood from a Red Cross competitor outside the state. Other hospitals are considering trying to save and recycle patients' own blood to reduce surgical transfusions.
Red Cross director Bernadine Healy said the price increase paid for numerous new safety tests and procedures performed on blood, many that blood banks began years ago without passing on the cost. But many hospitals argue the charges are too high, saying the Red Cross holds a monopoly in parts of the country where independent blood banks might charge less.
Still, it is getting more expensive to process blood no matter who does the work. Expect federal blood advisers soon to tackle whether the government should do more to pay for
Same-sex homes on the rise, census says
Figures dispel stereotypes improve outlook
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Same-sex couples head nearly 600,000 homes in the United States, according to census data considered the federal government's most thorough count yet of homosexuals. A gay or lesbian couple led a household in nearly every county in America.
Of the 594,391 same-sex couple homes in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, nearly 16 percent were in California, and 8 percent in New York, according to the
2000 census. San Francisco had one of the highest shares among metropolitan areas, while gay and lesbian partners also settled in rural parts of the Midwest and Deep South.
But reflecting how widely dispersed these households are, there was at least one same-sex couple home in 99 percent of all U.S. counties.
Such living arrangements still comprise a tiny share of the nation's households just more than one-half of 1 percent of the 105.5 million U.S. homes.
Yet many gay rights groups said the count alone offered proof of the growing social acceptance of homosexuality. David Smith, senior
strategist for Human Rights Campaign, said the statistics would be used to buttress arguments concerning such issues as legal recognition of same-sex couples.
"The census figures will change the debate for many Americans — from an abstract controversy read about in newspapers or seen in noisy debates on television to a discussion about real families, real people and real lives," Smith said.
The results also dispel stereotypes that homosexuality is limited to large urban centers and college towns, Smith said.

Sex a motive in killing of gay man
The Associated Press
WICHITA — A beating and arson that killed a 58-year-old Wichita man began with him making sexual advances to two teen-agers now charged with killing him, witnesses said.
The co-defendants — 18-year-old Zachary Steward and 17-year-old Brandon Boone — blamed each other for repeatedly striking Marcell Eads on his head, according to testimony presented at a preliminary hearing Tuesday.
They also accused each other of setting the fire that killed Eads, and both took credit for trying to put out the fire.
District Court Judge Joseph Bribiesa ruled there was enough evidence to charge the two with first-degree murder, aggravated arson, aggravated burglary and aggravated robbery. The judge also ruled that Boone, 16 when the crimes occurred, would be tried as an
adult.
Innocent pleas have been entered for both men. Trial was set for Oct. 8.
Early the morning of June 29, firefighters found the body of Eads on the floor of his smoldering home.
Although Eads was beaten severely, it was the fire that killed him, Deputy Coroner Jaime Oeberst said. Eads was burned over 60 percent to 70 percent of his body and inhaled smoke that left a lethal level of carbon monoxide in his blood, he said.
Tuesday's testimony showed that sex and sexual orientation appeared to be key factors in the motive.
Police Detective Blake Mumma said Steward gave a statement in which he said that Eads had made sexual advances toward him and Boone — prompting Boone to start beating Eads with a broomstick, and later with the end of a table and a rock. Steward also admitted to striking Eads, Mumma
According to Steward's statement to police, the two teens returned to Eads' house and Boone started the fire.
said.
Eads, a hairstylist, was openly gay, said neighbor Zusan Livingston. She said Eads told her he was having a relationship with Steward.
She said Steward used a slur to describe the man and said he wanted Boone to go with him to beat the man and steal things from his home.
Rachel Mroczkowsk, Boone's 15-year-old girlfriend, testified she heard Steward say the night of the killing that he was angry because he had gone to a man's house and the man had grabbed the area around his genitals and propositioned him.
Under Kansas law, if it can be shown that someone was a crime victim because of his sexual orientation, a judge can use that to justify a harsher sentence
North Carolina eyes Elizabeth Dole for Senate
The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. — A group of prominent North Carolina Republicans is launching a public bid to draft Elizabeth Dole to run for the U.S. Senate next year.
"I think Elizabeth Dole will find a lot of people who would look favorably on her as a candidate," said Randy Doub, a Greenville lawyer. "She could really hit the ground running."
Youngsville businessman Robert Luddy said Monday that he had been working with about 10 other high-profile business leaders and party activists to persuade Dole to run if Sen. Jesse Helms did not seek re-election.
Those close to Helms say a decision could come this week, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported in Tues-
The 79-year-old conservative icon has suffered from health problems in recent years, including an ailment that numbs his feet and impairs his balance.
Luddy and other organizers said they would encourage citizens to send letters to Dole and probably would start a petition drive and use the Internet to round up other supporters of Dole, a Salisbury native and former leader of the American Red Cross.
Others involved include Raleigh businessman K.D. Kennedy, a former finance chairman for the state party, and Doug Haynes, a former GOP congressional candidate whose father was a minister at the church Dole attended in Salisbury.
Those behind the Dole effort were careful to say
their plans are contingent on Helms' announcing his retirement.
Party leaders in Washington, including White House strategist Karl Rove, have been quietly courting Dole for weeks, arguing that her name recognition, popularity and experience in the cabinets of Ronald Reagan and George Bush would make her a strong candidate even though she hasn't lived in the state for several decades.
This month, Dole acknowledged through a representative that she would give the race "strong consideration" if Helms bows out.
Others eyeing the race include former U.S. Sen. Lauch Faircloth of Clinton, U.S. Rep. Richard Burr of Winston-Salem and former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot.
Some longtime Helms backers seem poised to throw their support behind candidates other than Dole. And Rocky Mount businessman Jack Bailey said he considered a Dole candidacy "garbage."
"I don't think she's a resident," Bailey said. "I don't consider Elizabeth Dole to be a viable candidate when she hasn't lived in the state for the last 40 years."
Among Democrats, North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall is the only announced candidate for Helms' seat. Others looking at the race include state Rep. Dan Blue of Raleigh, a former House speaker; and Mark Erwin of Charlotte, a former U.S. ambassador.
Late governor's memoirs settle in at Haskell library
LAWRENCE — A three-inch thick stack of typewritten pages is the start of what was to become former Gov. Joan Finney's memoirs.
The Associated Press
Housed in the library at Haskell Indian Nations University, the unfinished document offers an unedited look into Finney's Topeka childhood and her political career.
Finney, who died in July of complications from liver cancer, was the state's first female governor. serving from 1991 to 1995.
She also wrote about her relationship with the news media.
After several failed attempts to get along with the Statehouse press corps, Finney said she realized "I didn't need them. All I needed was the people, and the people were smarter than the press anyway."
Four years ago she quietly donated five boxes of gubernatorial papers and photographs to Haskell, which was one of her favorite causes.
Finney won a reputation as a strong supporter of American Indians, inviting tribal leaders to the governor's mansion and leading efforts in the 90s for tribal compacts that would allow casinos on the reservations. She also served on the Haskell Foundation board.
The foundation, an independent, nonprofit agency affiliated with the university, had plans in 1997 to print several items, including a collection of essays by Denise Low, a writer and former head of the university's English department.
The plan was for the foundation to publish the memoirs along with the collection of essays.
Low estimated it would take 12 to 18 months to add structure and context to the material.
"It's like a string of pearls without a string," Low said. "There these wonderful bits without any underlying structure."
Rahder said Finney wanted to give the documents to Haskell because she knew the university wanted to be established as a center for American Indian research, education and cultural programs.
The documents are available for the public to view at the university's library, but so far, Rahder said, no one has asked to view them.
"I don't think anyone knew we had them," she said. "We never made it public."
Eventually, the notes and pictures will be stored at Haskell's cultural center and museum, which is scheduled to be finished in mid-November.

Violence continues in Gaza
Truce talks planned for Berlin must be 'well prepared'
The Associated Press
NABLUS, West Bank — Israeli commandos yesterday opened fire on Palestinians they said were involved in planting a bomb, killing five people. Palestinian officials said three of the dead were unarmed villagers.
In Gaza, meanwhile, Israeli helicopters fired four missiles at two cars, killing one person, witnesses said. Palestinian security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said the dead man was Eilal Al-Ghoul, 26, a member of the Palestinian Preventive Security Service. The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
In the West Bank city of Nablus, after the nighttime shooting by the commandos, five bodies were lined up at a Palestinian hospital before a funeral procession. During the procession, a
bullet fired in the air by a marcher critically wounded another man in the head. He was in intensive care at a Nablus hospital.
Israel fired two surface-to-surface missiles at a Palestinian police station in the Gaza village of Karara, and seven policemen were injured by debris. The army said the missiles were fired in response to a Palestinian mortar attack.
Palestinian gunmen opened fire at the entrance to the Jewish settlement of Psagot near Ramallah in the West Bank and soldiers returned the fire, the Israeli military said. Palestinians said an Israeli tank crossed a few yards into Palestinian territory and fired shells at houses. No injuries were reported.
In Jerusalem, visiting German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer said that Mideast truce talks, tentatively set for Berlin, must be well-prepared, and that he was in touch with the United States, Russia and the European Union on the issue.
The talks would be held between Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
Peres, who is visiting Poland, confirmed yesterday that he plans to hold renewed trucetalks, but declined to say when or where they would take place.
Over the past two days, Fischer has been shuttling between Israeli and Palestinian leaders to help arrange talks. Peres has proposed a gradual truce, to be implemented first in relatively quiet areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Yesterday, shots were fired at an Israeli truck near the West Bank town of Jenin, and two Israelis were lightly wounded, the army said.
Fischer told Israeli Parliament Speaker Avraham Burg in a meeting yesterday that "the only thing that can stop this crazy cycle of bloodshed . . . is a total freeze of (Israeli) settlements and a total freeze of violence."

MOSCOW — If the United States and Russia fail to reach an agreement on missile defense, Washington will use its right to unilaterally withdraw from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton said in an interview to a Russian radio station.
In a Russian translation of the interview posted on the station's Web site, Bolton said that the United States would prefer to come to a joint decision with Russia and that he hoped progress would be made before the leaders of the two countries meet in November. The interview was conducted Tuesday and was to be broadcast yesterday evening.
U.S. may quit treaty, official says
Russia is opposed to dismantling the ABM treaty, which it calls a cornerstone of international security and which prohibits national missile defense systems. But the United States says it will go ahead with building a missile defense system because of potential nuclear threats from countries such as North Korea and Iran.
“If—even though we wouldn’t want this to happen—we are not able to come to an agreement with Russia, we will have to use our right under the treaty not to violate it, but to withdraw from it,” the Echo of Moscow site quoted Bolton as saying.
The treaty allows each side to withdraw from it six months after notifying the other side of its intentions.
Bolton was in Moscow this week as part of a series of consultations that began after President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in July that missile defense would be linked to talks on cutting the nuclear arsenals of both countries.
The Russian delegation emphasized the need to make cuts in strategic weapons "on the condition that the ABM treaty is preserved in its current
form," according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry.
Asked by the interviewer whether U.S. officials were aiming to make progress on the issue before a meeting between Bush and Putin tentatively planned for November, Bolton said that was the hope, but added that it could not be seen as a final deadline.
"I would imagine the presidents would be disappointed if by that time we have not achieved significant progress and they won't have anything to talk about at their meeting in Texas," he was quoted as saying.
Russian officials repeatedly have complained that they lack concrete information on U.S. missile defense plans, but Bolton said Washington had presented "an enormous mass of information to the Russian side about both the research program and the organization of our ballistic missile system."

Slow U.S. economy hits Mexican border
The Associated Press
TJUANA, Mexico — Owners of foreign-owned factories who once flocked to the Mexican border to take advantage of its cheap labor are laying off tens of thousands of people in the wake of a U.S. slowdown.
After years of strong economic growth and a booming job market spurred by the North American Free Trade Agreement, Mexico's dynamic industrial region is sputtering.
On a scruff hill dotted with shacks, 50-year-old Jose Luis Cuadras struggles to eke out a living after losing his job sewing U.S. baseball hats at a maquiladora, one of the thousands of assembly plants that have characterized Mexico's border with the United States.
He now works at a stand that sells garage doors discarded by Californians. Carted across the border, the doors are used by impoverished Tijuana residents as walls for their homes. Cuadras now makes about $5 a day, about half of what he earned at the maquilladora. The lanky man moved into a garage-door home after not being able to pay his rent on an apartment.
"You do what you can to get by," he said.
The maquiladora industry has lost 100,000 jobs so far this year, mostly along the 2,100-mile northern border.
officials say.
Since January, the Mexican state of Baja California, home to Tijuana, has lost 23,100 jobs, while the Chihuahua state has lost 59,100 jobs, Mexico's Labor Secretary Carlos Abascal said. The two states host the largest number of maquiladoras.
The U.S. downturn "has had a huge impact," said Manuel Gonzalez, assistant director of the northern Mexican border sector for the National Manufacturing Chamber. "There's been layoffs. Some plants have closed, while others are cutting back on hours and having people work only three or four days. That way they don't lose their skilled workers but can still remain competitive."
Rolando Gonzalez, president of the Maquila and Export Industry Council, said the electronic, textile and automobile manufacturers had been hit hardest.
International heavyweights such as General Motors, Phillips Electronics and Sony have had to lay off people at their Mexican plants.
Maquiladora leaders are working with the Mexican government to find ways to soften the blow.
Maquiladoras, also known as "twin plants," were started in the 1960s to take advantage of Mexico's low labor costs. They have grown over the years to become the industrial backbone of
the country's northern border, with more than 3,500 plants employing 1.2 million people. Most of the plants are concentrated in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Tex., and Tijuana, across from San Diego.
Mexican Border Commissioner Ernesto Ruffo said the maquiladora industry expected to create 150,000 more jobs this year. But exporters, who send more than 80 percent of their goods to United States, have been hit both by the U.S. slowdown and the strong peso.
Not all the news has been bad. The region has attracted new U.S. companies looking to cut costs by locating in Mexico. But not enough have come to offset the laffords, officials said.
In a dusty neighborhood, Miguel Lopez, 23, said it took him two months to land another job after being laid off. A year ago it would have taken only a few days.
Even so, Lopez was weighing his options after being told there would be no more overtime pay.
"I'm thinking of going to the other side," said the father of two, referring to the United States on the other side of the border.
"Is it any better over there?" he asked.
Chinese sect member gets death sentence for murder
Associated Press
BEIJING — A Chinese court sentenced a member of the banned Falun Gong sect to death yesterday for murdering a fellow villager with an ax to attain salvation, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The court in southern China that condemned Lan Yunchang suspended the sentence for two years because he had surrendered to police, Xinhua said. People given suspended death penalties are eligible for commutation to life imprisonment if they behave well in jail.
Nevertheless, the sentence was thought to be the most severe given to a Falun Gong follower since the government outlawed the popular meditation movement in July 1999. Others have faced charges including theft, fraud and illegal assembly.
Wei Shaoming died a day after Lan hit him on the back of the neck with an ax on April 16, Xinhua said. It said Lan thought that by killing Wei, it could ascend to heaven. It said Lan had asked Wei to provide him with arsenic, and when Wei could not, Lan attacked him.
Lan, from Zhuyu village in the Guangxi region of southern China, maintained his faith in Falun Gong despite 15 days in police detention in September 2000 and efforts to force him to renounce the group, Xinhua said.
In an apparent attempt to add to what the government claims is evidence implicating the group in numerous deaths, the court said Wei was "a victim of Falun Gong," Xinhua reported. "Using the excuse of 'ascending to heaven,' he intentionally and illegally deprived another person of life," it continued.
Chinese authorities have sent thousands of Falun Gong practitioners to prisons and labor camps in their relentless campaign against the group. Falun Gong claims practitioners are routinely tortured in custody and that 263 have been killed.
China says the group is a cult that has caused the deaths of more than 1,600 people, mostly practitioners it says were told to use meditation rather than medicine to fight illness.
Chinese leaders fear the group, which until the crackdown had tens of millions of members and a close-knit organizational structure, threatens the Communist Party's monopoly on power.
Practitioners believe Falun Gong promotes well-being, high moral standards and even supernatural powers.

Al Bohl arrives at Kansas with boy-band ideas
It was just a few days ago when my roommate tapped me on the shoulder. After 468 straight hours (ballpark figure) of playing Playstation, he wanted to go buv books.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Buy books? For what? Was it the end of the summer already?
He also informed me he went to Europe for two months — I didn't notice — and that I had just completed my last summer of freedom.
I guess playing Playstation for 22 hours per day is called freedom when you're in college. After you graduate, it's called "unemployment" and you actually get paid for playing Playstation, as long as you prove to the government that you've made some effort to leave your house in the past 10 years. Funny how that works.
PETER GILBERT
Michael Rigg

columnist
Of course, the biggest surprises of the past three months were the hiring of Allen Bohl as athletics director and the continued dominance of boy bands as they brainwash the minds of the world's youth. Not surprisingly, they're related.
A turn in my chair brought me to my computer, where a check of my e-mail told me about the news events of the summer. Did you know Kansas has a new athletics director? And that somebody was embezzling money from the Kansas University Athletics Corporation?
Boy bands were built on the premise that you can take an obviously inferior product, market it and build a fan base. The same task awaits Bohl when it comes to his No. 1 goal: finding people willing to watch a Kansas football game.
Also, Bohl embarked on a tour around the state to every small town just to let them know their favorite university also has a football team, by the wav. and that football team needs fans.
Small towns that have never seen a boy band.
Small towns who think "dirty pop" is what Old Man Hadley drank before the county last month, shortly before doing handstands on top of the Ferris wheel.
Even more amazing is the fact that Bohl has only been on the job for three weeks and he already has a deep understanding of the one-tracked minds of the Kansas fans.
I can see it now.
"Hey Timmy, wanna go to the football game? I hear Southwest Missouri State is in town?"
"Why the &##$ would I do that? N'Sync is have an Internet concert!"
"Well, Jeff Boschee will be there!"
"Oh! Why didn't you say that sooner? Let me just grab my wallet! And a beer!"
Speaking of boy bands, football coach Terry Allen accompanied Bohl on his barnstorming tour, trying to sell his program and -to some extent- himself. The only problem was, Allen didn't go on these trips - at least the Allen you and I know.
He now looks a tad closer to Justin Timberlake after losing 20 pounds thanks to the famous protein diet. He also got a new haircut and a tan. After five years of tense and fidgety meetings with the media, Allen was relaxed and secure at the preseason media day at Memorial Stadium.
"I didn't sit on the hot aluminum out there (at Memorial Stadium) just because I can see the caption now." Allen said after wilting in the 98-degree heat. "Allen on the hot seat."
Insert rim shot here.
Only time will tell what the changes will mean for Kansas athletics. If anything happens, let me know. I'll just be on my Playstation, drinking dirty pop. Rigg is a Greenwood Village, Colo. senior in Broadcast News.
Frederick's pay leads school
By Jay Kraill Kansan sports editor
Bob Frederick, former Kansas athletics director, became the highestpaid faculty member in the School of Education this fall.
Frederick will make $116,000 for teaching in the school's graduate program in sports administration. The average salary for full professors in the School of Education is $69,000.
According to a five-year contract signed this summer, Frederick will continue to earn the same salary he had as athletics director - $166,303. The additional $50,303 beyond his teaching salary is considered compensation for public relations work he will perform for the University.
"The School of Education and the department are delighted to have Dr. Frederick on our faculty," she said. "Some people out there might think there's something else going on, but we're delighted to have him."
He will teach two courses this fall and three in the spring, said Angela Lumkin, dean of education.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said half of Frederick's salary would be paid by the athletics department
for the first year of his contract, while the other half would be paid out of state funds allocated to the University. After that, half will be paid from state funds and the other half will come from "private funds at the discretion of the chancellor," Hemenwav said.
While those private funds are held by the Kansas University Endowment Association, they won't be pulled from any trust or fund in which money is banked for other purposes, Hemenway said.
Although his base salary remains the same, Frederick has lost benefits associated with the athletics director position that Hemenway said could be valued at between $50,000 and $60,000. As athletics director, Frederick was provided with a car and a country club membership, along with other perks, Hemenway said.
"Dr. Frederick is probably taking somewhere in the range of a $50,000 to $60,000 salary cut to work in the School of Education," Hemenway said, referring to the loss of the benefits.
Hemenway said any comparison of Frederick's salary with that of other education professors should

Young roster heads volleyball team
SEE FREDERICK PAGE 11A
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
Though setter Molly LaMere is the only senior on the Kansas women's volleyball team, she won't be the only leader.
"It's a unique situation," she said. "There will be several others leading from below, each helping in different wavs."
Coach Ray Bechard said he liked his team's chances despite the young roster, the loss of three great offensive players and playing in one of the most competitive women's volleyball conferences in the nation.
"I think we will be extremely competitive in all of the positions this year." Bechard said. "We will have four or five players challenging for court-time at nearly every spot on the floor."
The Jayhawks will count on returning standouts such as sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome, who collected 185 kills in 84 games last year. Junior defensive specialist Jennifer Kraft is back as the team's leading server. LaMere racked up 1,295
of 1.445 sets for the team last season.
Bechard said he thought he could change his team's approach to winning. For the last few years the team has been offense-oriented.
Departed players like outside hitters Amy Myatt, Nancy Bell and middle blocker Danielle Geronymo led last year's offensive attack with 4.57, 3.59 and 2.96 kills per game. The approach this year is different by necessity.
"There's a lot of offense that we lost and that's the one thing that jumps out," Bechard said. "But we feel with the players we brought in we can emphasize other areas like ball control and defense, which these new players can provide."
Kansas has plenty of opportunities to prove itself against solid teams in a conference stacked with talent. Several teams in the conference could be ranked in the Top 25 by the time Kansas matches up with them. Kansas State, Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and the defending national champion Nebraska field outstanding teams almost every year.
Overall, the team is striving to achieve a regular season record of .500 or above. Kansas volleyball
hasn't been to the NCAA tournament since the inception of the Big 12 Conference.
The ladies maintain two distinct relationships on and off of the court.
"Chemistry is important on the court," LaMere said. "We keep our relationships off the court separate from those on the court."
Rest assured that the team is in good hands. Bechard's record since coming to Kansas in 1998 is 47-45 after last year's 15-14 finish. From 1985-97 his teams at Barton County Community College achieved a record of 716-60. His winning philosophy involves developing individuals while making sure that what each player is doing accommodates what the team wants to accomplish.
"Our motto this year has been 'Contribute more than you consume.'" Bechard said.

Duncan, Green bolster running game
28 51
AARON LINDBERG/KANSAN
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
Daniel Coke, sophomore running back, looks for a hole in the defense during a scrimmage at Memorial Stadium yesterday.
Duncan finished his afternoon with 36 vards on five carries.
After a start that saw Kansas' starting offense manage only nine yards on its first six plays in yesterday's scrimmage at Memorial Stadium, starting sophomore running back Reggie Duncan got angry. The next two times he touched the football, the 5-foot-9, 202-pound barreled through several Jayhawk defenders for 26 yards.
"Coach (Jay) Johnson always tells us to get the offense going; he says that we are the catalysts." Duncan said. "The first series wasn't good at all. That second series, the coaching staff sat us down. The rest is history. We went and scored like we were supposed to."
On third-and-eight from the 8-yard line, sophomore quarterback Zach Dyer hooked up with senior wide receiver Termaine Fulton at the goal line. He shimmied around cornerback Andrew Davison for the first touchdown of the scrimmage.
Despite nursing a tender right shoulder and elbow, Dyer was 6-of-10 passing for 55 yards and an interception to go along with his touchdown. He said he felt much more comfortable throwing the ball after resting his arm during the second half of Tuesday's afternoon practice.
"I told the coaches it really started to hurt me after it started throbbing, so I threw some ice on it yesterday on the field," Dyer said of his passing arm. "But I felt like I was a little more accurate today. I had more zip on the ball. In general, I was pleased."
Coach Terry Allen said he was also satisfied even though his offensive starters ran only 24 of the day's entire 79 plays. He said the starting Jayhawk defense did stifle the team's new-look offense which featured more shotgun sets and no huddle formations.
"We were going nine-play segments, and I think the first nine plays that the defense did not allow a first down," Allen said. "The next time the ones came in against the ones, the
"The first series wasn't good at all. That second series, the coaching staff sat us down.The rest is history."
Reggie Duncan sophomore running back
offense took it 10 or 11 plays and scored.
"From a head coach's perspective you like to see that."
NOTES
A long way back to the top
Redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Long, once a highly-touted recruit from Iowa City, Iowa, continues to struggle with the new offense. After being replaced by junior Jonas Weatherbie for the No. 3 slot, Long saw his first action on the scrimmage's 51st play. Despite going 1-of-5 passing for 12 yards, he said he remained uplifted.
"I can't be negative," Long said.
"There's a lot of room for me to
improve, but I think my time will come."
Green pastures for true freshman
Green pastures for true freshman One of the surprises from yesterday's scrimmage was Tampa, Fla., freshman running back Clark Green. Even though sophomore Dan Coke is Duncan's solidified backup, Green helped his cause for playing time by rushing for a game-high 40 yards on six carries.
"The other guy (Coke and sophomore Harold McClendon) have an edge on me because I am a true freshman," Green said. "I am hoping I get a chance."

Frederick: Ex-AD keeps old salary
Hemenway declined to comment on whether Frederick's pay was equitable with that of other education faculty members.
Frederick said no education faculty member had approached him about his salary or how it compared to the average education faculty member's salary.
"It's really not something that I've discussed with anyone," Frederick said. "Normally, people don't talk about other people's salaries."
Frederick said his university relations work will include public speaking and making public appearances on behalf of the University.
"I don't know how well defined that is," Frederick said of his duties in addition to teaching.
Lumpkin said the school recently compiled average salary figures for full professors, assistant professors and associate professors to participate in a national survey.
The school's 36 full professors earn an average of $69,256. Twenty-nine associate professors average $53,909 a year, and 12 assistant professors have an average salary of $45,729. Frederick's salary is not included in any of those averages because he is not paid out of the school's budget.
According to the University budget for the fiscal year that ended June 30, the salaries of just three education faculty members exceeded $100,000. Two earned six-figure salaries because of additional compensation for duties as senior scientists at the Institute for Life Span Studies. A third was a department director.
Frederick will teach HSES 801, Facilities for Physical Education, Athletics and Recreation, and HSES 630, Sport Law. Both are three-credit-hour courses. According to KU Enrollment Center data checked Wednesday, Sport Law was enrolled to capacity at 50 students, and 23 of 50 seats were taken in Frederick's facilities class.
Frederick resigned as Kansas athletics director June 50 after 14 years at the helm.
KU alumnus donates $4 million for new training facility

New building to open in Fall '02
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
After years of wishful thinking, Kansas student athletes will finally receive what they've been waiting for a new training facility.
California real estate investor and Kansas alum Dana Anderson is expected to announce Friday his $4 million donation to help build an $8.5 million weight room and indoor track.
Dubbed the Anderson Strength Center, the new building is expected to open in the Fall of 2002.
John Scarffe, communications director for the Kansas University Endowment Association, said the University was seeking donations to pay for the remaining portion of the construction costs.
"We will continue to do fund raising for it," Scarffe said.
The new center is slated to be built at the northwest corner of Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Kansas' current facility, the Shaffer-Holland Strength Center,has the smallest strength and conditioning center in the Big 12 Conference.
"We will continue to do fund raising for it."
John Scarffe Communications Director, Kansas University Endowment Association
The two-story Anderson center will cover 15,000 square feet and includes a weight room, a cardiovascular training area and an indoor track.
Doug Vance, sports information director, said the center would be available to more than 500 student athletes.
Kansas football coach Terry Allen said he was grateful to the entire Anderson family for the donation.
"It's fantastic," Kansas football coach Terry Allen said Tuesday. "We appreciate Dana and Sue
Anderson and Justin. Allen said, "They've given so much to this University and our athletics department. To get the ground broken on the weight room is something we've been waiting five years for."
Anderson will speak at a press conference at 1:30 p.m. Friday in Hadl Auditorium at the Wagnon Student Athlete Center.

Swimmers try to climb out of conference cellar
By Jeremy Giles Kansan sportswriter
The women's swimming office, in room 250 of Allen Fieldhouse, is filled with championship trophies, plaques and certificates, displaying the team's glory days in the Big 8 Conference.
In the five years since the Big 12 Conference's inception, the Jayhawks have yet to win a Conference Championship. Last year, they finished six out of the six women's swimming programs in the conference.
Second-year coach Cathy Burgess said swimmers returning from that sixth-place team were eager to improve.
"We had a good core group, and they are excited about this year," Burgess said. "They weren't happy with sixth and neither were the coaches. The only place to move is up, and that is what we are looking for."
The team will rely on the leadership of its three senior captains. Rebecca McFall is entering her second year as a captain. Burgess said Carrie Kirkham was on the verge of qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Kirkham finished ninth in the 100-meter freestyle at the Big 12 Championships in February with a time of 0:50.99. She was also one of four swimmers on Kansas' third-place 400-meter relay team at the championships.
Molly O'Connor, recipient of last year's Coaches' Award, rounds out the trio of captains.
"She's just an all-around hard-worker," Burgess said of O'Connor. "She's an automatic leader on the team by her performance both in the pool and in the classroom."
Another Jayhawk who excelled in both the classroom and the pool last year was junior Gwen Haley. Haley's 4.0 grade point aver
age both semesters led the fall and spring teams' overall GPAs of 3.0 and 3.1, respectively. Last season's Most Valuable Player, Haley, turned in one of Kansas' top finishes at the Big 12 Championships when she took eighth in the 200-meter butterfly with a time of 2:03.97.
The team has improved its chances of moving up in the conference with this year's recruiting class, which includes one diver and eight swimmers. Freshmen Jackie Krueger and Amy Gruber should stand out in this class, Burgess said.
"Jackie Krueger comes in with very fast times in sprint to middle-distance free style. She's going to play a pretty big part in a lot of our relays."
"Amy Gruber is another free-styler, but she also swims backstroke and butterfly, so she's pretty broad-based. Those two will probably lead that class," Burgess said.
Burgess said the new recruits added an additional spark to an already fired-up team.
"It's fun to see freshmen join a crew. They are going to have an immediate impact," Burgess said. "The reason I am excited about them is freshmen usually spark the upperclassmen every year in the fall. They get them excited for a new year and our upperclassmen are excited to have the talent to help them reach their goals."
Some potential standouts have yet to emerge, Burgess said. With times extremely competitive among many women, Burgess said she was waiting for someone to step up and "take the bull by the horns."
Before coming to Kansas, Burgess was an assistant coach at Division I Davidson College where she helped lead both the men's and women's
teams to Southern Conference championships.
More than half of the Big 12 women's swim teams are often ranked in the Top 25 nationally, which makes rising in the standings difficult, Burgess said. Last year, Texas hovered in the top five nationally for much of the season.
"Moving up in the conference and being in the top three is very attainable," she said. "That's something that is exciting for us, because there is the chance of moving up. We have the talent and ability to move up with the added newcomers coming in."
Creating a team attitude may be what turns things around for the team this year, said Eric Elkenbary, assistant coach.
"Last year, we did a lot of things to work on a team environment, and it wasn't necessarily inherited by Cathy her first season," Eikenbary said. She had to work to establish a good, strong team environment. And right now, there's no question that's our strong attribute."
"At the end of the season, when we're going to the Big 12 Conference Championships, when we walk on deck, if we feel like a bunch of individuals, we are in big trouble," Eikenbary said. "If we get on deck at that meet and we feel like one team, we're right on the money."
Likenbary said the team's performance at the Big 12 Conference Championships would be determined by whether it felt cohesive and united.
The Kansas women's swimming and diving team is unaccompanied by a men's program this year after budget cuts led to the elimination of the men's team last spring.

Garden City picked tops in league
The Associated Press
Four of the eight teams in the Jayhawk Community College Conference have new coaches this season, but Bob Larson of top-ranked Garden City Community College said he doesn't expect a breather in the Bronchusters' defense of the conference title.
Independence Community College.
The new coaches in the conference are Jeff Leiker at Coffeyville Community College, head coach last year at Fort Hays State University and former head coach at Garden City; John Rossetti at Dodge City Community College, a Larson assistant last year at Garden City; Kevin Verdugo at Fort Scott Community College; and Keith Kent at
"I am very, very impressed with the new coaches," Larson said. "Don't let that first-year thing fool you. These guys know the game. The bar's definitely being raised and the question is whether we can keep up with it."
Garden City won all seven conference games and was 11-0 before losing in the National Junior College Athletic Association championship game to Glendale, Ariz.
The Broncbusters return four starters, including all-conference first-team picks Jon Hawk at offensive tackle, Lance Carson on the defensive line and Derrick Pope at linebacker.
"Now the biggest thing for us right now is trying to get everyone together and put them in pressure situations, which is something you can't do in practices," Larson said.
Butler County, picked to finish behind Garden City, won national championships in 1998 and 1999 and last year lost 23-17 to Garden City in four overtimes in postseason play.
Fifteen lettermen return, including tailback Ronald McClendon, the league's No. 3 rusher last year.

Students to rent affordable camping gear with new program
Program will encourage weekend camping trips into the great outdoors
By Kevin Flaherty Kansan sportswriter
Students interested in the great outdoors now have an opportunity to rent brand new camping equipment at reasonable prices through Outdoor Pursuits, a new University program.
The new service will replace the Wilderness Discovery program, which closed down because of Jaybowl expansion on the first floor of the Kansas Union.
Outdoor Pursuits will offer the chance
to rent tents, sleeping bags, cookware and backpacks from a yet-to-be chosen campus location.
Eventually, it will be in the new recreation center.
Erik Schreiber, intermural sports program manger, will head up the program, and said he would like to start as early as next spring when students come back from break.
"Right now we are looking at different suppliers and prices," Schreiber said. "But we are very excited about the opportunities this gives students to come in, rent some gear and go camping for the weekend."
Based on similar college programs which have had success at schools including Texas A&M, the service also

canoe rental and beyond.
"I think that it's a good idea, to get people outdoors without the cost," Kuether said. "But I don't know that it's a great idea to get people who aren't outdoorsy to all of a sudden go camping. It could be dangerous."
Eric Cloud, assistant manager at Backwoods Equipment Company, 916 Massachusetts St., said he believed students would like the idea.
"I think it's a great opportunity, obviously, for the financial reason that it's cheaper to rent than to buy your own equipment," Cloud said. "It's a great hands-on experience and they also get to

Study gives no concrete suggestions for NASCAR safety
n Reach Flaherty at 864-4810
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The exhaustive six-month investigation into Dale Earnhardt's death is finally over. Now the real work begins for NASCAR, which still must find a way to make its sport safer.
NASCAR released its inquiry into Earnhardt's death on Tuesday, finding that a variety of factors — including a broken seat belt — all played a part in the fatal accident on the final lap of the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18.
In addition to the details of the accident, the report made several recommendations as to how NASCAR can improve its sport.
None of them are immediate nor guaranteed to prevent another death.
"We are still not going to react for the sake of reacting," NASCAR president Mike Helton said. "There's not a bulletin getting ready to go out this afternoon to change walls at race tracks or roll bars in race cars.
"But there was an effort that began this time last year, and that became very aggressive as we were given opportunities in a very tragic way to understand things that we never understood before."
In its two-volume report, NASCAR said that beginning next season it will install "black boxes" in cars, similar to flight-data recorders on airplanes, to help understand the forces during crashes and improve safety.
NASCAR will also use computer models to design safer cars and will be involved in testing of race track barriers. The organization will commission a study on restraint systems to take a closer look at seat-belt strength.
NASCAR also will open a research center in Conover, N.C., sometime next year and will continue to work with experts on car safety.
However, the report contained no recommendations on changes
to cars or barriers, and NASCAR said it will not require drivers to wear head and neck restraints, despite encouraging their use.
Earnhardt was not wearing a restraint when he was killed, but NASCAR said it was unclear whether the device would have saved him. Use of the devices has dramatically increased since his crash; 41 of 43 drivers wore them in Sunday's race.
"We are pleased that a majority of Winston Cup drivers now use them," Helton said. "But we are not completely satisfied. We have intensified our efforts with drivers, equipment manufacturers and outside experts with the goal of helping all drivers find a system in which they feel comfortable and safer."
Many of the drivers — who heard the report and the suggestions Tuesday morning — said they were satisfied with the direction NASCAR is headed.
"We're all doing everything we
"There's not a bulletin getting ready to go out this afternoon to change walls at race tracks or roll bars in race cars."
Mike Helton NASCAR president
can go to make the sport as safe as it can be," said Kyle Petty, whose son, Adam, was the first of four NASCAR drivers to die in ontrack accidents in the past two years.
"As long as we're running at high rates of speed, though, racing is never going to be 100 percent safe. That's just a fact of our sport. As long as everybody is working to make it as safe as it
can be, I don't know that we can ask for much more."
Meanwhile, no concrete reason for Earnhardt's death came out of the report, which cost NASCAR more than $1 million.
Dr. James Raddin, one of the lead investigators, said the conclusion of the report is that "there were a number of factors in which the timing came together" to cause Earnhardt's death.
Raddin said one finding was that Earnhardt's left lap belt broke from the force of slamming into the concrete wall at about 160 mph, allowing the driver to be flung farther forward and to the right than if the entire five-point seat-belt harness had remained intact.
Earnhardt was thrown to the right, and his fatal injuries apparently came when his head turned, his helmet rotated on his head, and the left rear of his skull was left bare to hit the side of the steering wheel, the rear of the seat
or both,the report said.
In finding that the fracture started with a blow to the back of the head, Raddin disagreed with a court-appointed, independent medical examiner who determined the fracture was caused by a violent head whip.
That examiner, Dr. Barry Myers of Duke, studied Earnhardt's autopsy photos and concluded earlier this year that seatbelt failure "does not appear to have played a role" in his death
As for the seat belt, Raddin ruled out that it was cut by rescue workers as they tried to remove Earnhardt from the battered car. Five days after the fatal crash, NASCAR said a broken seat belt had been found in the car.
"The physical evidence is clear," said Raddin, who displayed a blown up photo of Earnhardt's seat belt. "This was not a cutting of a belt afterward. This was a belt that separated under load."

Students hit Mass St. en masse
Mass St. offers daytime shops nighttime revelry for students

Jayplay writer
Oscar Wilde took his 19th century stroll on his only visit to the city.
Carrie Nation walked down it. So did William Clark Quantrill, along with the hundreds of drunken men following him during his raid.
Today, the tradition continues as scores of visitors, college students and Lawrence residents take in the sights and sounds of Massachusetts Street, just five blocks east of the University of Kansas campus.
Affectionately called "Mass" by locals, the undisputed main street of Lawrence is usually teeming with pedestrians and drivers as the entertainment-loving population makes the rounds.
hip pop "Mass is a hotbed for entertainment," said Cory Phillips, a 25-year-old street performer. "It reminds me of Venice Beach with the spirit and creativity. I remember it seemed like a circus when I first came here."
Sustaining a diversity of distractions to choose among — including clubs, coffee houses, concerts, bars, shopping opportunities and street performers like Phillips the downtown area continues to thrive while similar areas in other towns have witnessed severe declines in their own.

declines in the streets and sidewalks swarm with shoppers.
Establishments such as The Casbah, 803 Mass. St., African Adorned, 5 East 7th St. and Brits, 732 Mass. St., which offers customers a selection of British products, offer multicultural gifts, clothing and crafts so shoppers
Downtown Lawrence offers varied, tasty dining options
can get a taste of other countries.
"I like the fact that Mass has a lot of small-town shops and not Wal-Mart, KMart," said Andy Holzmeister, Salina sophomore. "It's not all-American. There's a lot of African and Middle eastern stuff."
JAMIEROPER/KANSAN
Mass St. also is the traditional gathering place of patrons searching for a late-night good time. Lawrence is known historically as a drinking town. In the early 1800s, most of the settlers were young men, so saloons were popular. Later in that century, Carrie Nation walked down Mass St. with her signature hatchet, entering barrooms to promote sobriety.
Today, KU students and others who are older than 21 can enjoy alcoholic drinks at many establishments on Mass St., including The Brown Bear, 729 Mass St., Quinton's, 615 Mass. St. and Jefferson's, 743 Mass St., just to name a few.
The historic Liberty Hall, 642 Mass. St., which has gone through many transformations through the years, features live bands and films, as well as a video rental store specializing in foreign and limited-release films. Oscar Wilde, the famous Irish dramatist, delivered a speech there on his 19th century tour of the United States.
Meghan Bailey, Evanston, Ill., senior, said "I just turned 21, so I'm looking forward to go to all of the bars and check them out. It's a lot of fun to go around to different bars to see what crowd is at this bar and that bar."
The nontraditional look and atmosphere inside Liberty Hall reflects its history as an auditorium, concert hall and theater.
Teller's restaurant, 746 Massachusetts, features northern Italian cuisine. Teller's housed a triptych by environmental artist Stan Herd and a unique lighting design.
By Thomas Holland Jayplay writer
Whether you've just moved into the residence halls or you're back for another year, eating out on Massachusetts Street has become traditional as the Rock Chalk chant.
Mass Street offers a variety of options that shape the unique atmospheres found during the morning shopping and evening nightlife hours. From pizza to ice cream to beer, Mass Street has something for everyone.
Keno's offers more than 40 toppings for pizzas, as well as sandwiches and other lunch items. The demand for unique toppings, such as spinach and broccoli, adds to the Papa Keno's experience.
For those new to Lawrence, guest satisfaction is a key for most restaurants. This principle is the driving force behind Papa Keno's, 1035 Massachusetts St.
The restaurant is building a beer garden in honor of its 10th anniversary this fall, said Andy Collinsworth, manager of Papa Keno's. The restaurant also will extend weekend service to cater to the Lawrence nightlife.
Recent hot nights in Lawrence may make a cold fare sound better. Sylas and Maddy's Home Made Ice Cream, 1014 Massachusetts St., has almost 40 different flavors, a concoction named Da Bomb, which fuses vanilla ice cream with Oreos, chocolate flakes and cookie dough for a superb taste. Other favorites include Graduation Day and Banana Nut Bread.
Teller's uses a wood-fired oven to cook some of its cuisine, giving it additional oak flavor. The special attention given to taste shows Teller's commitment to the customer. The full service bar also is available during the night.
An example of the Mass Street transition from daytime shopping center to nighttime hot spot can be seen with the Free State Brewery Company, 636 Massachusetts St.
Teller's restaurant offers an opportunity to celebrate special occasions or simply splurge in a high-class atmosphere. Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., offers cosmopolitan architecture and sculptures that enhance the ambient mood.
During the day the establishment specializes in pasta and interesting local fare. At night the bar sells its own microbrew, featuring Kansas themes including John Brown, Sunflower and Copperhead ale.
Sylas and Maddy's also offers smoothies and milk shakes.
The Mad Greek, 907 Massachusetts St., offers Greek and Italian food in a cozy setting with old world influences which lead to a memorable eating experience.
Italian dishes and spaghetti come with the option of meat or vegetable sauces, and chicken Parmesan.
Free State showcases its beers on a weekly Monday night special, which lasts into the evening and is popular throughout the year.

Critic defines good movies for summer season
By Brandon Stinnett Jayplay writer
A quick story: One day last year a friend and I were leaving a movie theater after watching Gone in 60 Sec.
and after watching onds. My friend asked, "How could you possibly not have liked that movie?"
Shocked by my friend's ineptness, I shook my head and smiled. "Here's the deal," I declared. "I only declare."
Stinnett
P
are good, and if you like a movie that I don't like, then you like a bad movie."
Greetings film fans. By way of introduction, my name is Brandon Stinnett and I am the new Kansan movie columnist. Here are some things you should know up front. The Godfather
is my favorite movie. Cameron Crowe is my favorite director. And Jerry Bruckheimer, the genius behind Gone in 60 Seconds, Coyote Ugly and Armageddon, is the Anti-Christ.
As for actors and actresses, Tom Cruise and Al Pacino are immortal. Renee Zellwegger and Reese Witherpoon are dynamite. And Kevin Costner is way underrated.
The past summer offered the usual array of crappy movies aimed at cashing in on the quick buck while serious film buffs were left scurrying to Blockbuster to rent "real movies" to keep from going mad.
As usual, I fell into Hollywood's demented trap and shelled out five bucks for an assortment of duds, such as Jurassic Park III and Pearl Harbor, which bored audiences with 30 minutes of — yawn — special effects and 2.1/2 hours of — vomit — Josh
Hartnett, Ben Affreck and Kate Beckinsale playing kissy-face.
There were a few gems scattered among the wealth of disease. The animated Shrek was a delightful change, and the surprisingly smart Legally Blonde showcased Reese Witherspoon's considerable acting chops.
But for the most part, summer movies were disgusting as usual. They've become so bad in recent years that I've started to fight back by not going to the movies. But my "Just Say No" campaign has seen only limited success - I've been at area multiplexes more often than I care to admit.
I do have standards, however, such as steering clear of movies with subtitles (too much work) and movies produced, directed or influenced in any way by Bruckheimer. But these are standards in theory only and I do occasionally shy away from them.
(I've seen every one of Bruckheimer's movies, and I'm not proud of it.)
Standards aside, mostly I just love movies. All types of movies. From sappy romantic comedies to blood filled action movies. My only criterion for a movie is that it's good, which is something most movies released today aren't.
what makes a movie good, you ask? Now, that's a difficult question. For me, a good movie evokes feelings and unlocks emotions. Good movies touch the heart and make you laugh or cry. Happy or mad.
Movies aren't good because they have good plot development, sharp dialogue or a rockin' soundtrack. Those things help, but they are not what really matter.
A movie is good because of how it affects each viewer.
And because I say so.

Alumni-founded theater mixes comedy, variety
By Cal Creek
Jayplay writer
In the Ecumenical Christian Ministries parking lot, an eclectic group of people has circled to smoke and discuss the pros and cons of wearing pantyhose versus a lone ranger type mask for pulling a heist.
A former schoolteacher pauses after a long drag and says "I'll wear the pantyhose - oh, you mean on our head?" The group quickly laughs at the joke and then continues the conversation until it is finally settled.
They will wear the lone ranger masks, and with that the group disbands and heads inside. After all, they have only settled one small matter; they have an entire rehearsal left to work out.
The group is part of a larger company known as the Card Table Theatre. Named from a Kevin Costner movie called Fandango, the company formed three years ago and has been performing in the Lawrence area since.
One of its two yearly comedy-variety shows will be at 10 p.m. this Friday and Saturday at Liberty Hall
"If you're new to Lawrence and you
want to get an insider's view, this is the place to be. And if you've been around Lawrence, this is the place to be," cofounder and University of Kansas alumnus Jeremy Auman said.
Since then, the Card Table Theatre has put on five comedy-variety shows. Friday's show will be the sixth. They have also done several plays, including the award-winning play Bunnies.
Auman started the Card Table Theatre with KU alumnus Will Averill after both had graduated. They decided they wanted to stay in Lawrence and be involved in theater.
we do any kind of production," Auman said. "We're an all-inclusive theater. We fill the void between University theater and community theater."
Averill said there had always been a core group of five running the company, but through three years he had worked with between 30 to 50 people. This includes KU students, high school students and actors from community theater.
"We like to think of (the variety-comedy show) as *Saturday Night Live* meets Ed Sullivan with an R-rating." Auman said.
The creators promise plenty of Lawrence humor with each show. In the past they have had a bar scene puppet show and this year there will be a sketch mocking 23rd Street.
Other sketches include a string of shorts "too offensive for the stage," an opening musical number and a live interpretation of Scooby-Doo. There's even a little Fred Phelps bashing, as Auman points out that "No one is spared."
This show will be a "best of" show, meaning most of the sketches have been done in past shows. The fictitious Victor Continental, the emcee for every show, will host the event.
Tickets are available in advance for $8 at G. Willikers Deli & Bar, 733 Massachusetts St.; Wheatfields Bakery, 904 Vermont St.; the Round Corner Cheese & Salami Shoppe, 801 Massachusetts St. and Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. Tickets are available at the door for $10.
Because the Card Table Theatre is a not-for-profit organization, the proceeds from the show will go back into the Theatre.

Coming of age novel mixes food and family
Light read includes recipes that both whet the appetite, turn the stomach
By Mara Reichman Jayplay writer
Adventurous eaters beware -- Thomas Fox Averill's "Secrets of the Tsil Cafe" will tame even the wildest of appetites.
With a unique mixture of prose and recipes, this coming-of-age novel will either leave mouths watering or stomachs churning.
Set in the middle of Kansas City's trendy 39th Street, an American Southwestern "New World" restaurant and an Italian "Old World" catering business share not only the same building but also the same family. Here, amidst the distinct aromas of two different kitchens, Weston Tito Hingley creates a culinary style all his own.
Raised in a bizarre environment of cuisines ranging from habanero chiles and prickly pear cactus to olive oil and mozarella. Wes accepts the duality of his existence: "I lived a double life: Midwestern boy by day; by night the son of my father's eccentric Tsil Cafe and my mother's exotic
Buen AppeTito."
He spends half of his childhood over the stove, sampling experimental dishes and learning the tricks of his parents' trade. The other half is spent in the harsh realities of the school cafeteria where his gourmet sack munches are an easy target for bullies. Immediately ostracizing him for his peculiar tastes, Wes' cruel classmates cement his place as a permanent outsider. Stuck in a world of PB & J with the crusts cut off, Wes daydreams of exchanging his extravagant meals for the normalcy of white bread and bologna.
Wes continues to study the intricacies of cooking, and as he matures, his lessons graduate from the innocence of the kitchen to the adult world of family conflict and forbidden relationships. Working at the Tsil Cafe forces him to grow up quickly. In the front of the restaurant, Wes observes as patrons gulp their teary-eye, bitter throat shots of strong liquor. In the back, he spies on torrid, spiteful love affairs between employees, some of which hit too close to home.
As these relationships unfold and tensions rise, Wes ventures outside the restaurant to explore the rebellious outlets adolescence has to offer. A bit of alco
hol, tobacco and sexual experimentation only lead him to more confusion and frustration.
Yearning to find his own niche in a balance between the New World and the Old World, Wes eventually heads south-west to New Mexico in a search for self-knowledge: "My father

once said he cooked to create a singular experience that needed perfecting. He created and perfected his world and he lived in it. I took a different approach: I wanted to keep creating myself so I could live in any world."
Far from the world of his parents' kitchens, he attempts to find himself in the strange amalgam of past and present, Italy and America, mother and father - all on the same plate.
It becomes clear to Wes that "food had been everything in my family: from seduction, to individuality, to anger, to love. Now it was me." And while the food indeed dominates every aspect of Wes' life, it is the overwhelming and often suffocating presence of
family that permeates each page.
Buried remnants of his parents' pasts slowly surface to reveal yet more affairs and familial secrets than Wes ever desires to know. The more he learns of his history, the more he strives to distance himself from his parents' tight grasp.
Despite Averill's aggressive force-feeding of the intertwining food-and-family theme, his subtle humor and sarcastic voice lighten the melodramatic plot. His cast of characters is as various and flavorful as the menu he provides in the preface. There's Carson Flinn, the restaurant critic, who is "almost entirely bald, with a huge appetite and finicky manners"; Pablito, the Tsil Cafe's host and bartender, a small hunchback whose "back was slightly humped, his neck formed so he seemed always to be looking askance, like a bird does"; and Maria Tito, Wes' great-grandmother, who could "chop, peel, cut, mince, stuff, score, braise, boil, clean, bake" as well as place Sheetrock and plane two-by-fours. Even the family dog, named When Available, carries his own inside joke to the restaurant menu: "the item Tamales gave the customer a choice of Shrimp, Turkey, Buffalo, or Dog (When Available)."
Despite Averill's aggressive force-feeding of the intertwining food-and-family theme, his subtle humor and sarcastic voice lighten the melodramatic plot.
The book, however, contains a few problems. The random recipes sprinkled throughout the prose disrupt the flow of Averill's carefully blended comedy and drama, creating a disjointed read. Tantalizing salsas, desserts and vegetables alternate with such repulsive absurdities as guinea pig, llama blood and algae. Occasionally, the recipes coincide with the characters' actions or specific events, but they are frequently annoying and easily skipped.
Averill has obviously researched extensively to prepare his menus, but he would have been better off compiling them at the novel's finale.
Although the use of food to
uepiet Wes' personal journey is disruptive and refreshing. Averill's novel traces this unconventional route to an unfulfilling conclusion. His search down unusual paths for unusual ingredients leads to a disappointingly predictable ending after spicy characters and anecdotes.
As in all coming-of-age stories, "Secrets of the Tsil Cafe" concludes with a moment of self-realization when Wes discovers himself through his cooking. With some influence of each parent peppering his sauces, Wes invents his own entrees, ensuring that in either world, Old or New, his cooking will reflect a special appreciation for chiles and olive oil.
Regardless of its flaws, this light summer read offers a tasty twist on an all-too-familiar tale.

"Secrets of the Tsil Cafe"
Cajun band to sizzle Lied Center
By Chris Wristen Jayplay writer
The Lied Center staff plans to throw the largest field party in town and everyone's invited.
The Jacqueline Z. Davis Sixth Annual Free Outdoor Concert begins at 7 p.m. tomorrow on the Lied Center lawn. The show features BeauSoleil, a six-member ensemble that plays Cajun-style tunes that *Rolling Stone* called "the best damn dance band you'll ever hear." Band representative Cathy Williams agreed and said BeauSoleil's forte was its live show.
"It truly is," she said. "And their current album is even a live album with the best live music of their 25-year career."
Lead singer, fiddler and band founder Michael Doucet said he took pride in having a band that delivered a classic Cajun sound that people could dance to, but he
also liked to delve into other music genres.
"In our career, BeauSoleil has always reflected the diversity of Cajun music," he said. "Not just the two-steps, but ballads, blues, jazz, Tin Pan Alley — everything that made up our musical culture — from near-forgotten individual musical craftsmans to such influences as brass bands, jazz, Texas swing, country and swamp pop."
BeauSoleil last appeared in Lawrence in August 1998 in the Lied Center lawn and attracted more than 3,000 fans. Karen Lane Christilles, director of marketing for the Lied Center, said she anticipated a larger turnout because of the numerous requests people made for the band's return. She said people enjoyed the energy that BeauSoleil generated in its live shows.
"Some people like to sit on their blankets, relax and enjoy the stars and the
music," Christilles said. "But for people with a little more energy a lot of them like to get up and dance the night away. In years past we've had people dancing all over the lawn. Either way, you'll definitely want to move some part of your body."
Christilles also said people who move their bodies to the Lied Center early could participate in the Family Art Festival, which begins at 5:30 p.m. Students can win prizes, participate in various activities and learn about opportunities to get involved in the Lawrence community.
But she said the night was ultimately about having fun and enjoying the music.
"A lot of times we have people bring a blanket, have a picnic and sit and enjoy the music, but they'll still be tapping their feet," Christilles said. "But we have a dance floor set up in front of the stage, even though it's outdoors, so a lot of people get
up and dance."
Also from the Lied Center this weekend
On Saturday night the Lied Center Concert Series travels to the Haskell Indian Nations University campus to present Native Roots, a Native American reggae band.
Native Roots will perform at 7 p.m. and features lyricist Shkhem. a Haskell graduate.
Christielles said Native Roots also provided music to dance to, but Shkeme said the band had a much stronger message.
"We sing about the pride of Native people," Shkeme said in a statement. "We want to encourage people to put down their arms and unite all the people."

Money Mark offers unique album
Mandalee Meisner
Jayplay writer
WOMEN HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE.
If the much sought after music industry "connection" were ever personified, it would probably take the shape of former cabinet-maker Mark Ramos Nishita, also known as Money Mark.
His list of high-profile projects and involvement in the Los Angeles arena would easily make any beginning artist pant with envy.
For starters, Money Mark has been chummy with the Dust Brothers for years.
He was also hired by the Beastie Boys to mend a fence and ended up providing vital keyboard arrangements on their comeback LP Check Your Head.
Furthermore, his extensive list of credits reveal eclectic collaborators including Beck, The Handsome Boy Modeling School and Trick Daddy.
In fact, short of selling Steve Jobs a song for use in iMac computer promotions, he's one step short of becoming the preeminent musical handman to the stars.
Oh wait, he's done that too. Still, a question remains;
Why hasn't anyone heard of Money Mark?
Perhaps the answer lies in the relative quirkiness of his solo work, which is mostly keyboard-dominated instruments with brass and string accompaniment.
album debuting Oct. 23, he succeeds in bringing his background sound to the forefront - at least for a while.
The title of his new LP Change is Coming may seem pretentious usly grandiose, but his sound is all about laid back amusement.
But with Mark's third full
Funk, Jazz and Samba dominate the album. Despite the lack of vocals, besides a few Doo Doo Doo's and what sounds like a monkey laughing in "Check your Head," most of the songs glisten with personality.
The first track,
"Chocochip," stands out with
oozing sound straight out of a
psychedelic claymation
short.
"Another Day to Love You" owes much of its appeal to a specially handmade guitar, a Tesco-turned-Cuban Theist, that he wields with authority.
In fact, Mark's penchant for learning new instruments (he's currently up to 12), a strident flare for theatrics and a host of high-quality guest musicians may prove to make his live concert a tasty treat.
Money Mark is stopping through Lawrence Sept. 20 to play at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.

Bleed American provides energetic message
By Patrick Cady Jayplay writer
The latest work from Jimmy Eat World, Bleed American, captures an expressive energy.
Recorded at their own cost after being dropped from a previous label, the CD features highly personal songs and music ranging from brilliant distortion to ethereal melody.
The opening track, "Bleed American," begins with a powerful guitar line matching the insistent vocals of Jim Adkins and progresses into a sort of social satiric anthem.
social satire ammunition.
The overall tone of the album is fast, and for the most part, it is also upbeat.
Tracks such as "The Middle," and the nostalgic "A Praise Song" sound almost reaffirming.
There also are some slightly more melancholic pieces on the album.
A prime example is the acoustic "Your House," full of swirling melodic lines and the pleading voice of Adkins' mourning heartbreak.
On "Sweetness" and "Do It Faster," clean and distorted guitar tones alternate and seem to almost
play tag, adding an intriguing color to the album's musical palette.
The book's strongest tracks on this album is "Hear You Me," a haunting piece that utilizes a soft acoustic guitar and a mellow organ.
The lyrics are personal and descriptive. Images of failed relationships and commentary on culture are abundant in the album.
On the whole, Bleed American presents a solid album marked by complex musical structures and powerfully emotive lyrics that should keep the listener from any planetary indigestion.

Comforts foods may ease transition to college, experts say
By Lauren Beatty
Jayplay writer
There's nothing quite like the smell of fresh baked bread or the sight of a bubbly lasagna emerging from the oven. Mouths start watering and tummies start growling. It's home cookin'.
Unfortunately, for many students living away from home, the closest they come to mom's meatloaf is the TV dinner, burnt on the edges and frozen in the middle — the kind of meal best described as gray and watery.
When these cravings kick in, students are likely to turn to comfort food. Comfort food is not always nutritionally sound, but tastes good.
"I think of comfort food as food we had as kids," said Pat Roach, community development director at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. "It brings back nurturing feelings. That's why people bring food to parties. Food has a very powerful way of connecting people."
Foods high in carbohydrates, like mashed potatoes, breads and sweets like brownies or cake, all make those who eat them feel better.
Comfort food can be like a
warm blanket, making the muncher peaceful and content. Many people who feel depressed turn to food to make them feel more cheerful.
Joyce Davidson, counselor at Counseling and Psychological Services, chemical reactions in the body trigger the sensations of contentment. For example, foods containing complex carbohydrates stimulate brain transmitters for calming. Simply by eating certain foods, moods can be altered.
"It it goes back a long way." Davidson said. "Food that is warm and filling emotionally harkens back to conditions that made you feel comfortable and safe. It's a combination of physiological and learned behaviors."
It is important to note that comfort food often can be fattening. To compensate for this, students should eat comfort foods in moderation or pair them with healthier food, like vegetables and fruits.
But comfort food doesn't have to be a bad thing. Comfort food can make students feel closer to their families.
"In my family, we make homemade pizza," said Jessica Fishback.
"I think of comfort food as food we had as kids. It brings back nurturing feelings. Food has a very powerful way of connecting people."
PatRoach community development director at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center
St. Louis senior. "We knead the dough, crush the tomatoes. When I moved to college, I brought the recipe with me and it makes me feel a little closer to home."
International students have the same problem as American students, though perhaps to a larger degree. They often encounter nothing similar to their countries' food in the United States. Many cultural organizations on campus host
ethnic food pot luck dinners throughout the year. The same is true of American students traveling overseas.
Jason Cruce, Lansing senior,
said that while he was in Germany as an exchange student last year, he got used to the German cuisine. Nonetheless, he asked his parents to send bottles of Gates barbecue sauce and packets of chili seasoning.
"There's just no substitute for good of' home cooking." Crue said.
Mailing food across the country can be a temporary solution, but collecting recipes from home is a simpler way for students missing their home cooking to get a taste of home. Ask a parent or grandparent to compile family recipes into a booklet, then experiment at home until it tastes just like mom's. Or, just borrow cookbooks from the library that feature Southern-style or family-style cooking.
The Internet has thousands of recipes as well. One Web site that offers simple comfort foods is Choppy's www.angelfire.com/la/choppy. The Food TV Web site, wwwfoodtv.com, has a searchable database of recipes.

Racy love exhibit overloads viewers' senses
By Lisa Lipman The Associated Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The show is a lot racier than the title: "The Sensuous and the Sublime: Representations of Love in the Arts of the Middle East and Southern Asia."
Among the 30 paintings and sculptures in the exhibit that runs through Dec. 30 at Harvard University's Arthur M. Sackler Museum is "The Workings of Kama, the God of Love." It is a painting in which everyone is so overcome with the potency of love god Kama's arrow

Another, titled "Crime Passionnel: An Outraged Husband Murders His Unfaithful Wife and Her Lover," shows a couple naked and bleeding while the woman's husband drags his wife from her bed.

with the idea for the exhibit while poking around in one of Harvard's art storerooms.
She noticed that many of the paintings depicted various aspects of love and sex.
"Love can elevate you to the heights of spiritual endeavors and acts of self-sacrificing, and it can totally go awry and turn jealous and obsessive," Kessler said. "So I thought it would be interesting to show some of these works of art that are geographically contiguous and also show the different shades of love."
Troupe set to perform death-defying stunts
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
The Nerveless Nocks Stunt and Thrill Show visits Kansas City's Crown Center on tomorrow, kicking off a three-day performance event.
The Nerveless Nocks are a performance troupe whose members are descendants of Switzerland's oldest circus family. They were established in 1840 and have been entertaining people around the world since 1954.
Well-known for their daring stunts, the Nocks have performed on sky-scraping sway-poles without guidewires or other safety measures.
During their performance at Crown Center, the group will present three of their acts.
The Nocks will perform the following stunts:
The Sky-High Swaypole is a hand-over-hand climb to the top of an aerial exchange from poleto-pole, where all members
exchange swaypoles in midair. There also will be a head-first 8 story free fall back to the ground.
The 60-foot Space Wheel involves the Nocks revolving on an aerial pendulum while the group performs leaps, somersaults, handstands and sometimes even a blind-folded walk.
The 17-foot Globe of Fear includes two motorcycle stunt riders who race at high speeds through a steel globe, narrowly missing each other as they race
upside down.
Admission is free to all shows. Crown Center is located at 2450 Grand Boulevard, Kansas City, Mo.
The Nerveless Nocks plan to perform at Crown Center Friday, Aug. 24 through Sunday, Aug. 26.
There are 10 different shows which take place during the weekend. The Nocks perform at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m on Friday; at noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday; at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Today's Birthday (Aug. 23).
At first you may feel overwhelmed, but don't give up. You can master a difficult subject if you focus your attention. Luckily that's your specialty this year. A mess at home may temporarily have you worried. You'll figure out what to keep and what to throw away, and after that it's easy. Apply the same lesson you just learned at work, and simplify things there. All's well that ends well.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 5.
There are rules and regulations to follow in order to accomplish your task. You may think they don't apply to you, but they do. For example, if you sit up straight, with your feet on the floor, you'll become a better typist. Don't waste time arguing with your coach. Comply.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Today is an 8.
You're in the mood to make lifetime plans, and why not? Have you found the right person? Talk about what you'd like to accomplish next. Build a business plan, or a personal plan, or both. With good planning, all your surprises will be happy ones.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Don't goof around. Give your full attention to the job at hand. If you're not there on time, prepared everybody will know. There won't be much room, or time, for creativity. Just follow the routine. Precisely and quickly, please!
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
Today is the
Somebody's thoughtless comment

Today is a 6.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22).
Today is a 6.
Are you willing to take on more responsibility? Would you do it for a raise? Can you see a job that needs to be done? Think you could be good at it? Friends and loved ones may initially advise against a change, but think about it. Try to imagine how it would work.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21). Today is an 8.
You're getting stronger in more ways than one. The seasons are changing again, bringing a phase that empowers you. This time it's your friends, and the groups you join, who'll help you manifest that power. Together, the impossible can become real. Go toward the love.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7B
Brady brings variety back to ABC
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Wayne Brady mines no words when characterizing the television diet du jour or when unabashedly asserting why the timing is right for a sound alternative — his variety show.
His eponymous half-hour program, on a six-week tryout on ABC, drew nearly 11 million viewers to rank 13th in households for its recent debut. (It airs Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. EDT.)
"If you look at a lot of the nonsense that's on TV right now, there's only so many times that you can watch someone eat bug larvae, win a million bucks, get chased by dogs, fall off a waterfall or vote someone off the island," Brady said. "It's time for something you and your family can look at."
Brady is best known as the guy on ABC's Whose Line Is It Anyway? who can make up a song about anything from sinks to tsunamis. Brady said the new format incorporated what he's already doing but "stepped up a notch."
The Wayne Brady Show, heralded for attempting to revive a genre that had its heyday decades ago, displays Brady's many talents.
The 29-year-old sketch comedian with a razor-sharp mind for improvisation is a dead-on impersonator and a talented singer who could make Michael Jackson take notice, especially when he's satirizing the King of Pop.
His antics include a sketch of his West Indian grandmother and of James Brown, who is portrayed in the pilot as an emergency medical services technician responding to a 911 call.
Although this generation hasn't seen much of the variety show format as it was in the days of Flip Wilson and Carol Burnett — complete with a host, a supporting troupe, a band, guest appearances and song-and-dance routines — Brady said the show can succeed.
"If the people enjoy it, then it will be on," said the Emmy nominee. (He's in the running at the Sept. 16 awards show with Steve Martin, Barbra Streisand, David Letterman, Ellen DeGeneres and Will Ferrell for best individual performance in a variety or music program for his work on Whose Line.)
His influences include other versatile performers: Sammy Davis, Jr., Billy Crystal and Robin Williams.
"I think a lot of the people I've gravitated toward are the people that can do more than one thing," he said.
Comparisons to Wilson, the first successful black host of a TV variety show, illicit a positive response, but Brady is quick to point out that "we are two completely, utterly different people."
Racial identity, for instance, seems less of an issue for Brady, even at a time when the National Association
tor the Advancement of Colored People is threatening a boycott because of what it sees as a lack of diversity in network programming.
"I'm the only person doing a variety show like that; that's why it sticks out," Brady said. "I don't think color is relevant."
One similarity between the comedians, though, is the belief that you can be positive and still be funny, Brady said, a Wilson trademark he takes on as his own.
Brady must wait until Sept. 7 to find out if his show will continue.
Born in Orlando, Fla., and raised by his grandmother, Brady describes himself as very shy and studious growing up.
"Folks think that because of the work that we do on Whose Line that we all ran around like chickens with our heads cut off as kids and still in real life," he said. "I try and reserve my energy for the stage."
Brady happened upon the stage at 16 as a favor to a friend who needed someone to recite the one line he had in a school play. During rehearsal, a cast member was dismissed and Brady ended up with the vacated part. "It was instant gratification," he said.
Brady then spent almost a decade working in the theater productions, including A Raisin in the Sun, and in musical theater on cruise ships and theme parks. He also had appearances on the television series In the
Heat of the Night and I'll Fly Away, and he was host of a VH1 comedy series, Vinyl Justice.
He continues to tour the country doing improv and also is producing with his wife, Mandie, The Only Game In Town, a play that opens in November.
Admittedly, he has come a long way from the days when macaroni and cheese dinners were staples in the Los Angeles apartment he shared with Mandie in 1996 when they first arrived. Today, the couple share their home with three dogs, one of which is named Sammy Davis Junior Jr.
Now the actor boasts he can even afford to add sausage and hamburger to his macaroni.
"I'm just ecstatic that people embraced (the show) as they have," Brady said. "It's such an incredible feeling to know that people like your work."
Elsewhere in television ...
DATELINE NBC: Katie Couric examines allegations of racial discrimination at a Georgia power plant on Dateline NBC Tuesday. When one Black man, despite high marks on his evaluations, watched his White coworkers surpass him, he began to get the feeling that it wasn't his ability that was holding him back. Couric reports on the lawsuit filed against Georgia Power, the states largest utility, accusing the company of racial discrimination. It airs at 10 p.m. EDT.
NBC to air real West Wing, then fake one
The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Before they watch the series about a fake West Wing next month, NBC viewers can catch a glimpse of the real one.
The network's season premiere of The West Wing on Sept. 19 will be preceded by a one-hour behind-the-scenes special at President Bush's White House.
With Tom Brokaw as host, the NBC News program is the latest installment
of "day in the life" White House specials that NBC has done dating back to President Nixon.
What makes this one unusual is how it's being paired and promoted with an entertainment series about a fictional White House.
"It makes good sense to pair them up," said NBC News spokeswoman Barbara Levin on Monday.
NBC's prime time is now controlled by Jeff Zucker, who used to mix
news and entertainment regularly as the executive producer of the Today show.
"This isn't a bad way to get people to see what's going on in the West Wing," said Robert Lichter, a media critic for the Center for Media and Public Affairs.
"It used to be that television networks used real news to get into the fantasy, now it uses the fantasy to get into the reality."
An extended, two-hour version of the show will air later this year on the Discovery Channel, NBC said Monday.
In a world where ABC News aired an interview with former President Clinton conducted by actor Leonardo DiCaprio, NBC's decision isn't that unusual, Lichter said.
"At least NBC doesn't have Martin Sheen interviewing George W. Bush," he said.
Documentary sends viewers back to school through kids
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — On HBO. Carrie is worried about being engaged. Miranda is battling body-image depression. And Samantha has lust in her heart for a $4,000 Hermes handbag.
Over on the HBO Family channel, Julian is nervous about how to read long words. Tyeese refuses to talk. And Anna is suspicious about where exactly the tooth fairy gets the money.
But that fades as Kindergarten gets rolling.
At first glance, the gals on Sex and the City don't seem to have a lot in common with a new documentary series that follows 23 pint-sized kiddies through their first year of formal schooling.
More than 13 half-hour episodes, viewers get to watch the 5-year-olds interact, solve crises and wrestle with the outside world — much like their fictional counterparts on an adult comedy — at Upper Nyack Elementary School in Nyack, N.Y.
"It's kind of eavesdropping on the kindergarten experience that you never get to do with your own kids," says Karen Goodman, who put the series together with husband, Kirk Simon. They have a 9-year-old and a 5-year-old, who's just about to enter kindergarten.
The episodes range from "Doin' the Right Thing" about getting in trouble to "Open Wide" about losing teeth.
One person, though, almost steals the show: Jennifer Johnson, the teacher of this little troupe. She is, at turns, a ringleader, disciplinarian, confidant and surrogate parent.
At kindergarten snack time — which Goodman calls "essentially kid cocktail parties" — the 5-year-olds are as apt to spark a discussion of God as they are to gossip about how awful it is that mom smokes in the house.
Johnson knows that all too well.
"A lot of times I would overhear little conversations and I would go, 'Oh, that's priceless; I can't believe they just said that! Wait until their mom hears that!"
Now they can.

Elizondo's supporting roles add spice to career
Seasoned film actor says he's considering more Latino roles now
NEW YORK — The restaurant table in front of Hector Elizondo is immaculately set.
The Associated Press
"Where's the food?" asks the actor, rubbing his hands together.
"I love eating. I love choosing a food. I love the touching and smelling of food," says Elizondo, whose credits include Pretty Woman and TV's Chicago Hope.
How appropriate, then, that Elizondo's latest film is about the joys of eating.
In the romantic comedy Tortilla Soup, he plays a widower and master chef whose skills in the kitchen are deteriorating even as he's losing control over his three independent daughters.
Asked if whether working on a foodie film helped Elizondo in his own kitchen, the actor hesitates.
"I'm a better chopper," he says. "I don't pretend to cook fancy at all. I'm a helper."
The film — a Hispanic take on Ang Lee's Eat Drink Man Woman — also stars Paul Rodriguez and Raquel Welch.
That could be Elizondo's career motto. He has been the helper, the guy with a small part who adds something delicious to the mix.
"Everybody seems to think that my first movie was Pretty Womanand that I just recently fell off the turnip truck," he says. "I've been working since 1961 nonstop."
He owes much of his resume to Garry Marshall, who's put Elizondo in a dozen of his films, calling the actor his "good luck charm."
The relationship began with an errant basketball pass 20 years ago.
Invited to a game of hoops, the two men, who had not been introduced, faced off. "He was guarding me. I threw a pass, hit him in the mouth. He falls down. They're making a big fuss," Elizondo recalls.
"I'm thinking, 'What's the big deal? Guy got hurt! Happens all the time. It could have been me,'" he says. "Then they tell me, that's Garry Marshall. Boom! He owns the place, the producer."
Marshall called him over.
"Everybody seems to think that my first movie was 'Pretty Woman,' and that I just recently fell off the turnip truck. I've been working since 1961 nonstop."
"He says, 'You're a great actor, but a
Hector Elizondo Co-star, Tortilla Soup
lousy passer. I got a movie for you."
That movie would be 1982's Young Doctors in Love. There would be more, including The Flamingo Kid, Runaway Bride and this summer's The Princess Diaries.
Born to a Bassque father and a Puertorican mother, Elizondo was a thin lad growing up in New York. "I was the guy who used to be chased around the block," he says.
At first, he played a lot of baddies, including a nasty criminal in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.
"But ever since Pretty Woman, I can't go near those roles. I'm the quintessential mentor and good guy," he savs.
A trim 179 pounds at age 64, Elizondo is body conscious and works out regularly.
Like the late Anthony Quinn, Elizondo likes to shift among ethnicities, playing a Russian postal supervisor in *Dear God* or a Greek diner owner in *Frankie and Johny*.
Audiences — particularly fellow Hispanics — have responded to Elizondo's dignity on screen, his pathos and his resonating voice.
Elizondo won an Obie in 1971 for playing God on stage in Steambath, and snagged an Emmy as Dr. Phillips Watters, a surgeon and hospital administrator on Chicago Hope.
He has tried, even as a struggling actor, to avoid stereotypes. He turned down roles in Scarface and Chico and the Man because "I don't want to bring that to my grave."
But an all-Hispanic film like Tortilla Soup was a chance to see a middle-class family in a universal story.
"Now, I'm starting to consider more and more Lain-American roles because the climate is changing," he says. "Now it's catching up to me."
Tortilla Soup is basically a remake of Ang Lee's 1994 movie Eat Drink Man Woman, but it's set in Los Angeles instead of Taiwan, and the cuisine — as lovingly portrayed here as in the original — is Mexican instead of Chinese.
'Tortilla' Soup warms the heart
By Malcolm Ritter The Associated Press
dousing them in salsa?
Fans of the earlier film will recognize its basic plot, specific scenes and even snatches of dialogue in the new film.
So if you've seen the earlier movie, does it make sense to see *Tortilla Soup*? Or would that be about as satisfying as taking last night's Chinese leftovers and
The answer: Tortilla Soup is a tremendous movie on its own, with four knockout performances. And for U.S. audiences, there's a bonus: it's in English.
Here we meet Martin Naranjo, a widower and culinary wizard, who lavishes his talent on his beloved live-in daughters. And as before, it's at these Sunday dinners that the phrase "I have an announcement" comes to signal yet another threat to the way things have been.
Carmen, a corporate executive, announces she's found a condo, and
later that she's taking a great job in Spain. Maribel, the cute "baby" of the family, decides to put off college to find herself and says she will move in with her new boyfriend. And Leticia, the uptight chemistry teacher whose mealtime prayers show an unsettling degree of devotion, reveals she's been drawn into a most unlikely romance.
Tortilla Soup, released by Samuel Goldwyn Films, was directed by Maria Ripoll from a script by Tom Musca, Ramon Menendez and Vera Blasi. It was produced by John Bard Manulis, and is rated PG-13 for sexual content.
Tolkien popular in age of Harry Potter
By Mara D. Bellaby The Associated Press
LONDON — Before Harry Potter and wizards, there was Bilbo Baggins and hobbits.
The hairy-footed, diminutive creatures charmed children and adults worldwide when British writer J.R.R. Tolkien introduced them in his 1937 fantasy book, The Hobbit.
Since then, The Hobbit has continually graced children's recommended reading lists. Tolkien's fantasy epic, The Lord of the Rings was named the top novel of the 20th century in numerous surveys of British adults.
Now the first installment of the $273 million The Lord of the Rings film trilogy is due to hit theaters in December, not long after the first Harry Potter movie, putting Bilbo and Frodo in direct competition with the students of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
If Tolkien's enduring popularity in his home country is anything to go on, the elves, orcs and wizards that inhabit Tolkien's Middle-earth should hold their own against Harry Potter.
Tolkien "is not ironic and modern and all-knowing, but he appeals to people," said Ian Collier, a member of the British-based Tolkien Society, which welcomes fans from around the globe.
"It is a great story and like all great stories, it connects with people in some way." said Collier, 35, who has read "The Lord of the Rings" 25 times.
The trilogy describes the perilous journey by hobbit Frodo Baggins across Middle-earth to territory deep inside the control of Sauron, the Dark Lord. Baggins must reach the Cracks of Doom, a fiery chamber, and destroy a magical ring before Sauron can recapture it. If the ring falls into Sauron's hands, he will be able to dominate the world.
But it is the background scenery of the novel, rather than its plot, that seems to captivate most readers. Tolkien creates a new universe with its own fantasy creatures, language, genealogy, history and geography. For many readers, Middle-earth becomes as vivid as the real world, though slightly more exciting.
From the start, "The Hobbit" was geared toward children. Tolkien's son,
the rev. John Tolkien, told the British Broadcasting Corp. that he grew up hearing the tales that would later make up the best-selling book.
"The Hobbit" was followed by the epilength "The Lord of the Rings," published in 1954. The book, which recounts a battle between good and evil, attracted audiences of all ages. By the 1960s, it was a must-read on most American college campuses. Ironically, Tolkien — an elderly man and conservative Roman Catholic — had become a hero of a generation of pot-smoking, anti-authoritarian students.
Tolkien's fans said they aren't sure what the author would make of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, being filmed by New Zealand's Peter Jackson. His family reportedly dreads it. Lawyers acting on behalf of the Tolkien Estate did not return repeated telephone calls from The Associated Press.
The Tolkien Society has taken a wait and see approach, but individual members, such as Reynolds, said they are excited. Reynolds said he expects the movie will introduce a new generation to the tales of Middle-earth.
Teen idol still basking in adulation of fans
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Freddie Prinze Jr. is in no hurry to outgrow the adulation of teen-age girls, even if he is in his mid-20s and getting ready for marriage.
Although Prinze may not make Oscar-caliber pictures, he has collected multiple acting honors from Teen Magazine, not to mention Male Hottie of the Year honors at the 1999 Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards.
"I enjoy knowing that this specific group supports me and believes in me
and wants good things for me," the 25- year-old actor says. "Not everybody has that."
In his latest film, Summer Catch,
Prinze plays a poor wannabe baseball
player who falls for a local rich girl (Jessica Biel). Because the movie is yet
another youthful romantic comedy,
Prinze says critics may slam it, but his
young fans will love it.
Matthew Lillard, who has co-starred with Prinze in She's All That and Wing Commander as well as Scooby-Doo
and Summer Catch says Prinze had clearly matured over the years — whether he wants to admit it.
"I think that Freddie certainly takes the job of acting and the business of it much more seriously," Lillard says.
And in his next movie, a live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo, he plays golden-maned detective Fred Jones, who "is always taking the credit for all the crime-solving but never puts forward any effort."

OutKast anything but at awards
The Associated Press
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Hip hop duo OutKast and newcomer Nelly bested some of the top rap artists in the industry at the Source Hip-Hop Music Awards on Monday night.
OutKast snagged best artist of the year by a group and best live performer of the year, while Nelly took home best new artist of the year and best album for his CD Country Grammar.
"Hopefully I can keep doing what I am doing and people will keep accepting me for what I'm doing because that's just me," said Nelly, whose album also was nominated for two Grammu Awards.
Eminem won video of the year for "Stan," a song about a demented fan driven over the edge by his hero's
lack of response. He performed the song "Purple Hills" with his group D-12.
Rapper Ja Rule, who collected the single of the year award for "Put It On Me," which featured artist Lil' Mo, called the Source honors "the award" for rappers.
The Neptunes won the producer of the year and R&B artist of the year went to R. Kelly, known for a remix of his hit song "Fiesta," featuring artist Iav-Z.
"This is our culture, our music, our peers," he said.
Jay-Z, known for his songs "Big Pimpin"," featuring UGK, and "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)," and his album "Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter," won solo artist of the year.
"This is bigger than I can imagine," said Scarface.
Rapper Scarface defeated
OutKast — Andre 3000 and Big Boi — are known for their hits "Ms. Jackson" and their Grammy-nominated "Rosa Parks." Their latest album, the multi-platinum Stankonia, is their biggest one to date.
Eminem, Jay-Z and Prodigy for lyricist of the year.
Of the evening's performances, the live goat, cow and chickens brought on stage by Nelly and the St. Lunatics, who performed "Midwest Swing", was one of the most colorful.
LL Cool J, a longtime rap artist, producer and actor, received a Lifetime Achievement award and The Hip-Hop Image Award was presented to hip-hop mogul Master P.
Thousands of hip-hop fans joined
the genre's top artists for the third annual awards show at the Jackie Gleason Theater. Some artists — including the redhead Eve and Ludacris — ran out to greet the starrazers.
This is the first year that the awards, put on by The Source Magazine, were held in Miami.
Fights broke out during last year's show, held in Pasadena, Calif. It was canceled after only three performances and a handful of awards were announced because of fights in the audience.
This year's award show will air on UPN on Aug.28.
Beat writer on ball, not to mention road
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The New York Public Library announced Tuesday that it had acquired the literary and personal archives of Kerouac, who died in 1969. The archives, available to scholars within the next few years, contain thousands of items, including diaries, letters, stories, notebooks and manuscripts for On the Road and other novels.
Most unusual is a labyrinthine fantasy baseball game Kerouac created as a kid growing up in Lowell,
Mass., and referred to in his writings.
"This should give you an idea of the breadth, and the richness, of his imaginary life," said Isaac Gewirtz a curator of the library.
If On the Road wasn't the Great American Novel, then Kerouac can make a fair claim to the Great American Fantasy Baseball League. Using different colors of paper and cards, Kerouac invented a six-tem team league more complicated than Strat-O-Matic and other popular games.
He not only recruited imaginary figures, but also historic ones such as Pancho Villa and Lou Gehrig.
"Writers create vast kingdoms for themselves to control and to let their imagination run loose," said Ann Douglas, a professor of American studies at Columbia University who has written often about the Beats.
"Think of William Faulkner and his Yoknapatwa county. Think of Thomas De Quinney and his brother making up whole worlds of imaginary inhabitants who were at war with each other. Writers like to be gods of worlds where great dramas are played out."
Kerouac also published a newsletter and produced a broadsheet in which he compiled standings and league leaders and offered summaries of the day's games.
There are few specific instructions, but the game apparently called for marbles, toothpicks and white-rubber erasers to be thrown against a target some 40 feet away.
The son of French Canadians, Kerouac was born in Lowell in 1922. He played baseball and football as a child and was a star athlete in high school. In the 1940s, he helped found the "Beat" movement with Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs, whom he met in New York City.
Douglas said that Kerouac didn't speak English fluently until his teens and considers his fantasy league a classic immigrant experience, using baseball to access American culture.

Study shows TV color lines are fading
The Associated Press
NEW YORK  Blacks and Whites have many more favorite television shows in common than they did five years ago, perhaps because of a greater effort to have multi-ethnic casts.
A study of viewing habits by ethnic groups also found that the most popular English-language TV program among Hispanic viewers last season was Temptation Island.
Nine programs that were among Nielsen Media Research's 20 most popular shows for White audiences were also in the top 20 for Blacks last season, according to a study by Initiative Media, an advertising agency. They were Survivor, ER, Law & Order, Monday Night Football, The Practice, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,
Temptation Island and two editions of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Five years ago, only Monday Night Football was in the top 20 for Blacks and Whites, said Stacey Lynn Koerner, Initiative's director of broadcast research.
"I think it's because there are more ensemble-driven programs on the air than there were a few years ago," Koerner said.
There were 21 shows with multi-ethnic casts on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, UPN and the WB in 1998. For last season, it was 51, she said.
Two years ago The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People started pressuring networks to increase the number of minorities in front of and behind the cameras. The NAACP said earlier this month it
was unhappy with the progress being made.
Monday Night Football was the past year's most popular program among Black audiences, followed by five comedies with predominantly black casts: ABC's My Wife & Kids, and UPN's The Parkers, The Hugheys, Girlfriends and Moesha.
Survivor, top rated among White audiences, was No.17 for Blacks, the study said.
The 20 most popular primetime programs among Hispanic audiences were all on the Spanish-language network Univision, topped by Laerintos de Pason. However, the reality show Tempelation Island was a huge hit, more than three ratings points more popular than any other English show among Hispanics.
"I couldn't tell you why that
show is successful, period, not just among Hispanic viewers," Koerner said.
Twelve of the 20 most popular English shows among Hispanic viewers were on Fox. Koerner said that's because Hispanic homes have more younger viewers than other ethnic groups, and Fox is a young-skewing network.
CBS was the most popular network among Black households this year and came in a narrow second among white households, Initiative said. Blacks are spreading their viewing among more networks than in the recent past — even to NBC, which used to have higher ratings among Whites even though Blacks in general watch more TV.

Latin music awards moved to West Coast
MIAMI The Sept. 11 Latin Grammy Awards will be moved from Miami to Los Angeles because of fears that Cuban exile protesters will threaten the safety of performers and attendees.
Michael Greene, president and CEO of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, cited 1999 protests when the Cuban group Los Van Van performed in Miami. Protesters threw batteries and eggs at ticket holders as they arrived, he said.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelas offered Monday to create a half-block buffer between the protesters and establish a security zone for performers and attendees, but the offer was not enough.
Greene said academy officials considered moving the event to Broward County north of the city and was told by the Florida Highway Patrol and sheriff's deputies that they could not guarantee attendees' safety.
Penelas said the event would have brought $30 to $35 million in revenue to the area.
"I can't guarantee the security of our people," Greene said. "We have people coming from all over the world.
"Having to run that gauntlet is demeaning at best and dangerous at worst."
The end of an era: Jay and Silent Bob back for one last hurrah
The Associated Press
STUDIO CITY, Calif. — Only in Kevin Smith's skewed universe would a Good Will Hunting sequel become a gun-toting blood-sport film like Dogma was, Mark Hamill played a cheesy Darth Vader wannabe and Alanis Morissette got to reprise creation's lead role, as God.
Dogma followed two fallen angels (Ben Affleck and Matt Damon) scheming to sneak back into heaven courtesy of a loophole in Catholic law
And only in such a sequel would a trash-mouthed pothead and a mostly mute guy in a
trenchcoat head up the writerdirector's farewell to one of modern Hollywood's most loved and reviled series of films.
Smith is having one last go at his New Jersey Chronicles, which began with the indie sensation Clerks and continued with Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma.
The movies have shared overlapping locations, anecdotes and a fondness for pop culture, mainly comic books and space opera. The most common thread was the pairing of loud, crude narcotics enthusiast Jay (long-time Smith buddy Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith himself).
The characters have a big following on the Internet, where Smith's View Askew Productions Web site sells Jay and Silent Bob action figures and lunchboxes.
As the Jersey series finale, Smith is giving them their own movie, the road comedy Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
"For years, ever since there started being somewhat of a fan base for the stuff, people have said, 'Why don't you make a movie with just Jay and Silent Bob?' Smith said in an interview at his production offices, where he was completing the film before returning home to New Jersey.
"I was really resistant for a long time. My point was, they work
best in small doses, and how would Jay play for 90 minutes to two hours? And one guy doesn't even talk out of the two."
Positive reaction to Jay and Silent Bob cameos in Scream 3 helped convince Smith the pair could carry an entire movie.
in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the characters journey to Hollywood to stop a movie based on their comic-book alter egos.
The movie features plenty of broad comedy, but much of it is a long inside joke, with references audiences will catch only if they've closely watched Smith's previous films.
"Yes, in a lot of ways, you have
to be a hard-core Kevin Smith fan to understand a lot of what you see in Jay and Silent Bob," said Jason Lee, who has appeared in several Smith films. "But a lot of people know his films. They know his vulgarities and rudenesses. They really know these guys well by now, so the movie has more than enough potential."
With a strong fan base, why end the Jersey movies? Smith wants to get away from the safety net of familiar characters, moving on to new film projects.
"There's a desire to see if I'm really any good at this or if I just get a lot of leeway because people liked the other stuff," Smith said.
"There's a desire to see if I'm really any good at this or if I just get a lot of leeway because people liked the other stuff."

College is time to explore kinks put sprinkles on the cupcakes
Sex — it's just one o those things. Whether it's with yourself or with another person, almost everybody does it in some form or another.
SEXCOLUMN
And it's difficult to find somebody who honestly never thinks about it, especially in college.
So why is it so embarrassing to talk about sex? Almost everybody has had a type of "birds and bees"
Likes, dislikes, quirks, kinks and fetishes are all part of a healthy sexual life, but are usually kept under wraps, in the very back part of the mind reserved for things like crushes on teachers and thoughts about Brad Pitt.
talk, but few people have actually hashed out their intimate desires with anybody, partner or friend.
closed view of what is "OK" in sex is very limiting.
Almost everybody has them, but most people are embarrassed to admit to anything but the purest of sexual thoughts.
Sex with your personal quirks included is similar to a cupcake with sprinkles - much more fun and tasty.
Anything more than that, and things seem as though they could get weird.

Still, it's hard to tell the girl or guy you've just kissed that you are interested in playing around with a vibrator, or that you like to
be spanked as part of foreplay.
In fact, there may be all kinds of things you want to try and think about all the time, but just aren't sure about how to, well, start to do them.
College is the time to experience things. Granted, your aunt was probably talking about classes, but it works for sexual things too.
That's where this column comes in.
When else are you going to be in a small town with thousands upon thousands of other people your age who are —with some differences, of course—probably just as interested and curious about sexual stuff as you are?
Have a question about sex? Then ask! Anything is fair game, from how to insert slot A into tab B to buy the perfect sex toy and everything in between.
You'll help your sex life, and you might broaden somebody else's sexual horizon too. Asking questions is easy.
Just e-mail me at sexquestion@hotmail.com.
You don't have to put your name on your question unless you want to, and no serious questions will be turned away, as long as the answers aren't too risque for the editors. But don't be too serious.
Sex is something that should be fun.
All it takes is an open mind, and a little bit of know how, so everybody involved stays safe and leaves with a smile on his or her face.
Straight, gay, bi-sexual or anything else, it does not matter.

Bogus body parts cause investigation of director
ST. LOUIS — A would-be horror story turned into a comedy for police after they found a torso in a trash can.
A dark red trail led them to Eric Stanze's back door. When the 29-year-old man let them inside Saturday, they found a home full of decapitated heads, disemboweled corpses and other mutiated body parts.
Serial killer? Not quite.
So fooled by Stanze's handiwork, the police called in the medical examiner to investigate the scene just to be sure.
"I went around back, and there were
The body parts, it turned out, were all movie props made of plastic or papermache and covered with bogus blood by Stanze, a director and producer of independent horror videos.
flies buzzing around the Dumpster." Stanze said. "I could see how the cops could mistake it for a real crime scene."
Turkey terrorized town before sent on its way
Mike Roberts, owner of Mike's Nuisance Animal Control, captured the wild turkey Monday and released him miles away in a wooded area.
HOLLAND, Mich. — After terrorizing residents for months, a tom turkey with a foul attitude has received a one-way ticket out of town.
"He was the bully of the block,"
The irritable bird had taken up residence in the neighborhood since April, probably fed by people who were at first amused. But he soon turned aggressive and started frightening people, pinning them in their cars or behind their front doors. Walkers altered their routes to avoid him.
Roberts said.
During one morning jaunt, teacher Sue DeMott was held at bay by the turkey, who circled her as she tried to advance. When DeMott would take a step forward, the bird would get in front of her.
Subway cars submerged to build artificial reef
OFF CAPE HENLOPEN, Del. — In true New York style, 27 subway cars are now sleeping with the fishes.
The New York subway cars made their last stop Tuesday, 80 feet below the surface of the Atlantic after a bulldozer pushed them off a barge 19 miles east of Cape Hlenopen.
The cars are the first of about 400 expected to be sent from New York to help build an artificial reef. Officials expect to have weekly drops of 20 cars for the next 20 weeks.
The subway cars will attract fish to the growing reef, fish will attract fishermen and fishermen will bring dollars, said Bill Baker, a charter boat captain and tackle store owner.
"This is going to make fishing in Delaware famous," Baker said.
Cleaning and shipping the cars to Delaware cost New York transit officials $1.6 million, a savings of about $4 million over having to clean them and dump them in a landfill.
Talking car increases safety for police officer

Liebl said the system improved safety and efficiency by letting him keep his hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. He can control sirens, lights, speed-tracking radar and radio by speaking into a microphone on the dashboard.
He can read a car's license plate numbers into the microphone and the system will access an on-board database and audibly tell him about the car's owner and registration.

Thanks to a simple, inexpensive device developed by the University of New Hampshire, Liebl's car listens and talks to him and keeps track of its own location.

New recruits goal of Senate's Outreach Week
Student Senators want to know what students are thinking about
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Ben Burton said empowering students was the purpose of this fall's Student Senate Outreach Week.
Burton, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, is one of the organizers of Outreach Week.
"There's power in numbers with students," he said. "Student Senate was created to empower. That's what I want to get back to."
JAMIE ROPER/KANSAN
Senate will have tables set up from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today in the Kansas Union lobby. Next week, Senate will have tables from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Union and Wescoe Beach.

Katie Bartlett, liberal arts and sciences senator, said she looked forward to interacting with students and providing them with opportunities to become involved.
Student Senate tables will be set up in the following locations:
"Our primary goal is to raise Senate's visibility and to make ourselves more approachable," she said. "We want to hear what people are thinking."
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today in the Kansas Union
10 a.m. to p.m.
everyday next week in the Kansas Union lobby and on Wescoe Beach
Burton said he wanted more students to participate in Senate and hoped that it would become more visible through Outreach Week.
"Hopefully, they can recognize that we're important," Burton said. "We'll be trying our best to educate them and get their opinions."
The themes of Outreach Week differ from that of past years. The tables set up in the Union provide students with information about recycling, minority recruitment and retention, and campus safety, among other things.
Justin Strecker, Topeka freshman, said he thought students should be more involved with Senate and committees
"Issues are all about the everyday person," he said. "If you just get more people involved, it makes anything better."
Bartlett said students may not realize that anyone can join a Senate committee or a board, even if they aren't a senator.
"We want to get as many students signed up for committees as possible," Bartlett said. "That's an awesome way to get your voice heard."
L 104: Search for Meaning
Nine professors receive $5,000
Kemper awards distributed to teachers as students attend first day of classes
Sandra Zimdars-Swartz, professor of religious studies, receives a $5,000 check from Mark Gonzales, president of Commerce Bank Lawrence. Chancellor Robert Hemenay observed the presentation yesterday where Zimdars-Swartz received the check as part of the W.T Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence.
By Eve Lamborn
Kansan staff writer
In the midst of telling a story to an auditorium full of students, Sandra Zimdars-Swartz paused for an unexpected interruption.
From the back door of the Wescoe auditorium, Chancellor Robert Hemenway and a group of officials and representatives paraded into the classroom and surrounded the professor of religious studies.
"This is a special teacher to KU," Hemenway announced to the class. "We like to reward special teaching."
With those words, Hemenway introduced a Commerce Back official who presented Zimdars-Swartz with a $5.000 W.T. Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence.
"This is a nice way to start the semester," Zimdars-Swartz said. "This proves that it is possible to render someone speechless, even a professor."
University officials surprised nine of
the 20 winners during classes yesterday and will continue with the surprise presentations through Sept. 18.
Thomas W. Heilke, associate professor of political science, had just begun a presentation when the surprise patrol interrupted.
The William T. Kemper Foundation and the Kansas University Endowment Association provide the money for the program, which started in 1996.
"I'm proud to be congratulated in this way." Heilke said.
Reach Daley at 864-4810
Provost David Shulenburger said surprising the winners on the first day of classes was a good message to send to students.
Angie Davis, Lenexa sophomore, witnessed Hemenway's presentation to Zindars-Swartz during her Search for Meaning class.
"It sounds like she's been good in the past," Davis said, "And it looks like she might be easier to understand than some other professors."
Mark Gonzales, president of Commerce Bank Lawrence, said the program was popular.
"It's a great way to give to those who the students, faculty, and their peers think are the best," he said.
Other winners yesterday included James S. Ashe, senior curator and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology; Ann E. Cudd, professor of philosophy; Patricia A. Howard, clinical associate professor of pharmacy practice; Jeffrey Lang, professor of mathematics; Barry J. Newton, professor of architecture; Cornel D. Peewardy, assistant professor of teaching and leadership; and Sue Popkess-Vawter, professor of nursing.

Business boosted by June move customers and staff both approve of change
Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Community Mercantile Co-op, 950 Iowa St. - Lawrence's only locally-owned grocery store - hasn't had any problems settling into its new home.
On June 4, the Mercantile moved from 901 Mississippi St. to 950 Iowa St., the building that used to house Alvin's IGA.
Nancy O'Connor, marketing director and nutrition educator, said the new store was twice the size of the old one. O'Connor said because of the larger store, the Mercantile was able to have a video rental store and sell fresh meat.

"We were able to bring in enough conventional groceries that we're really positioned as a neighborhood store and not just a natural food store." O'Connor said.
O'Connor said she had noticed an increase of business and new faces since the store had moved. She said having the Mercantile located at a busy intersection was good for business.
Bianca Starlazzi, shift manager, said more people

Sarah Knoll, Topeka junior, said she was happy the Mercantile made the move.
Knoll has been shopping at the Mercantile for three years. She said she enjoyed being able to buy organic food. Another convenient feature for her is that the store is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
"I love it," Knoll said. "There's a lot more selection, a lot more in stock and it has more sales."

"Alvin's and us were the only locally-owned grocery stores." Starlazzi said. "We're the only store now."
Ores, Stuartana said. We're the only one.
She said she thought the Mercantile would continue to grow but that the store would always keep its commitment to the Lawrence community.

25 students will receive $1,000 at KU-UCLA game Sept.8
By J. R. Mendoza
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas University Endowment Association will award 25 $1,000 scholarships to students who attend the football game between Kansas and the University of California-Los
Students will have a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship if they attend a Kansas football game next month.
Angeles on Saturday, Sept. 8. Allen Bohl, Kansas athletics director, made the announcement at Traditions Night on Tuesday.
"It was generated to increase awareness of what the Endowment Association does for the University and to celebrate the opening of the public phase of KU's third major fund-raising campaign," Scarffe said of the campaign.
John Scarffe, director of communications for the association, said there was no purchase necessary to be eligible.
The name of the campaign will be announced later, he said.

The Endowment Association is looking for donors interested in paying for the scholarships, Scarfe said.
"If they continue to wear the T-shirt at the game, they are eligible to win a scholarship," he said.
To be eligible, students must be present during the first quarter of the game and be enrolled fulltime.

Iowa, freshman, said she heard about the announcement at Traditions Night.
"I think it's a good way to promote the football team and the Endowment Association." Beaver said. "It's good they are willing to help out because not everyone can get a scholarship."
But David Brandt, Roswell, Ga., senior, said that he didn't have football tickets and that the promotion wouldn't necessarily get him to pick up a T-shirt to attend the game.
She said she already had football tickets and planned to get a T-shirt.

LAWRENCE Traffic Commission limits Cadillac Ranch parking
Finding a parking spot is a common problem in Lawrence, and those visiting Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St., will have a harder time finding one.
On Aug. 6, the Lawrence Traffic Safety Commission passed an ordinance to eliminate parking along the south side of Mountview Drive. Cadillac Ranch customers often parked on both sides of the street directly behind the buildings. Parking will remain on the north side only.
David Woosley of the Public Works Department said neighbors brought their concerns to the city.
The change was made after Officer Mike Monroe said parking was a problem in the area, and Commissioner Scott Henderson said area residents had complained about vandalism.
The motion was approved unanimously.

Meningitis often mistaken for nasty flu, doctors say
Officials at Watkins Memorial Health Center recommend that students, especially those who will be living in shared living environments, receive a meningitis vaccination.
Meningitis is caused by a bacterium called Neisseria meningitidis, which attacks either the brain and spinal cord or the bloodstream. It is transmitted through respiratory or body secretions.
The disease is marked by symptoms such as high fever, headache, stiff neck, confusion, nausea, vomiting, exhaustion or rash. Some infected with the bacteria confuse it with the flu. If it is not detected early, the disease can progress rapidly. The Meningitis Foundation of America reports that roughly 300 Americans die of meningitis every year.
Bill Smith, health educator at Watkins, said students with a stiff neck, lethargy and sensitivity to light could have meningitis and not the flu.
"If there's suspicion that you have come into contact with someone who has meningitis, come see a doctor just to be on the safe side," Smith said.
Even students who are not living in residence halls should consider the vaccine, doctors say.
Randall Rock, senior student health physician, said students put themselves at risk when they attended parties or crowded restaurants and bars.
Meningitis vaccines:
Where: Watkins Memorial Health Center
When: By appointment
Cost: $68
Call 864-9507
He said that drinking large amounts of alcohol impaired the immune system in a setting where the disease could easily be spread through face-to-face contact.
The meningococcal meningitis vaccine protects against four types of bacteria that cause meningitis in the United States. These four types account for more than two-thirds of the cases of meningitis reported by college students.
The vaccine lasts three to five years and costs $68 at Watkins.
The vaccine was offered to all incoming students at orientation sessions this summer. About 250 students received the vaccine while attending orientation.
Tricia McNamee, Perrysburg, Ohio, freshman, said she was referred for a vaccine by a source she trusted even more than a doctor.
"My mom," she said. "I had to go get it before I headed off to school."

Prosecutors say KC pharmacist diluted at least 150 perscriptions
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pharmacist Robert R. Courtney may have diluted at least 150 intravenous bags for chemotherapy patients, prosecutors said, the first time authorities have publicly measured the depth of Courtney's alleged fraud.
Responding to requests made in the filing, Judge Scott O. Wright froze a portion of Courtney's assets at Lincoln National Corp., a brokerage thought to hold much of his fortune. The order, however, allows Courtney's family to withdraw up to $500,000 to pay legal fees.
In a civil court filing Wednesday, federal prosecutors said their investigation "suggests a minimum of 150 separate dilutions" with each dilution counting as both a "misbranding" and an adulteration under federal law.
The Associated Press
Wright also ordered Courtney to surrender his state and federal pharmaceutical licenses and ordered Courtney and the government to begin work on shutting down Courtney's two pharmacies.
The prosecutors' filing had asked Wright to shut down one of Courtney's pharmacies and freeze $6 million of his assets. The 150 alleged dilutions could expose Courtney to as many as 300 fines of $10,000 each, or $3 million total. So far, Courtney is charged only with a single count of misbranding and adulterating a drug.
Courtney, 48, is being held at a privately run jail in Leavenworth. His attorney, Jean Paul Bradshaw, said the order wasn't a surprise. He said Courtney plans to sell both pharmacies and turn in his licenses.
NATION Professional clown convicted of sexually abusing assistant
The boy, now 17, testified that Bayer began fondling him during out-of-town circus trips and that the first sodomy happened that year.
Christopher Bayer, 29, known as "Smiley the Clown," was found guilty Wednesday on nine counts including sodomy, sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child. He was acquitted on four other charges and freed on $25,000 bail until sentencing.
RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — A professional circus clown was found guilty of sodomizing his teen-age assistant.
The boy's father grew suspicious in 1999 and placed a surveillance camera in the living room of the family's Long Island home, where Bayer would stay when in the area.
Bayer worked for the Clive Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus, based in Deland, Fla. The boy was 11 years old when he began working for Bayer in 1995.
The father caught a December 1999 incident on videotape and reported Bayer to police. The tape was shown to the jury.
Bayer was charged with molesting the boy three times and was convicted of two of them: the incident in December 1999 and an earlier incident in summer 1995. Bayer said he would appeal.
"I'm innocent," he said as he left Suffolk County Court. Bayer's attorney, William Keahon, said he was confident the convictions would be reversed. He said that his client had been given liquor and then set up before the taped incident.
Sentencing was set for Oct. 17
Jury awards passenger after stressful landing
BILLINGS, Mont. — A federal jury has awarded $1.25 million to a woman who said she suffered post-traumatic stress after a Delta Airlines jet made an emergency landing in 1996.
A Delta representative said the airline would appeal Wednesday's verdict.
Kathy Weaver of Billings was one of about 220 aboard Delta Flight 37 from London to Cincinnati on Nov. 7, 1996, when the MD11 developed stabilizer problems. The crew made an emergency landing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio.
Weaver sued the airline in 1998, maintaining that she never fully recovered from the incident.
Her attorney, Randy Bishop, said passengers thought they were going to die. The crew briefed everyone for a crash, and one passenger testified at trial that a flight attendant told another passenger, "We're going to die."
ON THE RECORD
A 19-year-old KU student reported a medical emergency at K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall at 7:25 p.m. Wednesday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The student was hit in the face with a water balloon and was concerned about injuries to the right eye and nose. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical examined the student, who declined transportation to the hospital.
A KU security officer reported criminal damage to property at Haworth Hall between 4 a.m. Aug. 16 and 6 p.m. Aug. 18, the KU Public Safety Office said. Pink and silver graffiti was found on the building. Damage was estimated at $200.
A 22-year-old KU student caused a three-car accident at 15th and Iowa streets at 11:17 p.m. Tuesday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The student said she came over the hill and didn't see the two cars in front of her vehicle that were waiting for the traffic light to change. Before the light changed, the KU student failed to stop in time and struck one of the cars in front of her, which rear-ended the car in front of him. All three vehicles were damaged. The KU student was cited with inattentive
driving. The value of the damages was unknown.
A 19-year-old KU student's car was dented between 10:30 p.m. Monday and 12:35 p.m. Wednesday while it was parked on the 1400 block of Ohio St., Lawrence police said. The damages were estimated at $500.
A 23-year-old KU student's mountain bike, mattress and vacuum cleaner were stolen between 11:59 p.m. Aug. 8 and 10 a.m. Aug. 18 from the unlocked Alpha Epsilon Phi fraternity, 1116 Indiana St., Lawrence Police said. The items were valued at $1,330.

Students wanted in search for dean
Committee head hopes to have new CLAS dean by July
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
The search committee for the new dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences needs two student members to complete the group.
Provost David Shulenburger said he was waiting for students to return for the fall semester before choosing one undergraduate CLAS student and one graduate CLAS student for the two committee slots.
Richard Givens, professor of chemistry and assistant
Richard Givens, chemistry and provost, is chairman of the committee.
Sally Frost Mason, the former dean, left the University of Kansas on July 1 to become
provost at Purdue University, where she earned her master's degree in 1974.
Givens said he had recently sent letters to faculty within the college asking for dean nominations.
The committee will have its first full meeting in two weeks, with a goal of bringing candidates to the KU campus by Nov. 1, Givens said.
"I think it's important to get
candidates here during the fall semester, before classes end," he said.
Givens said he hoped to complete the process by early spring so the new dean could take office next July.
"Right now we're at the very beginning," he said.

Alum takes multicultural affairs job
Kansan staff writer
Teresa Lynn Clounch made the transition from student and Miller Scholarship Hall director to the position of new associate director for the Office of Multicultural Affairs in July.
"It's a major step up," she said. "I knew this would be a great opportunity."
Clounch is involved with the HAWK Link program, which works to retain new students — primarily minority ones. She also became the new adviser for the Black Student Union for this year and is working toward her Ph.D.
"I thought this would be great," Clounch said. "All my higher education experience was progressional. I felt like all the pieces started to fit together. It's like being at the right place at the right time."
She grew up in Iola where she attended Allen County Community College. She then transferred to Emporia State University.
Clounch earned her bachelor's degree in business administration with a minor in communications. She then returned to Allen County to work at a development office before moving to Nevada, Mo., to work at Cottev College.
Clounch said it was her job as the director of a scholarship hall at Cottey, a two-year women's college, that helped her realize she was in a field she enjoyed.
P
She returned to Emporia State to work as the director of what is now the Multicultural Center.
"Living in a scholarship hall is like being a college president or chancellor," Clounch said. "It allowed me to improve my delegation skills and trust those who knew what was going on."

She then became the Miller Scholarship Hall director last year because she thought housing would be fun.

intended to return as a hall director before she accepted the OMA position.
Sarah Jackson, Abilene senior and former president of Miller, said Clounch was a responsible house director.
"I remember her getting things done," Jackson said. "She was always asking what needs to be done next. She was visible."

EDITORIAL Triumph of democracy Faculty made right decision in passing course retake policy
The course retake policy that went into effect this summer was not a recent development. Enactment of the new policy represents the culmination of five years of work by student senators, and the faculty should be commended for allowing student government to work.
First introduced as a bill in Student Senate in 1996, the course retake policy will allow students who receive a D or F in a class taken in their first 60 hours to retake the class and replace the lower grade entirely, instead of averaging the two grades. The idea is to assist students who have a difficult time adjusting to their first few college classes, thereby improving the freshman retention rate.
Students, faculty, and administrators have argued the merits and drawbacks to this policy extensively, sometimes passionately. The bill died on the desks of the Provest David Shulenburger and Chancellor Robert Hemenway in early 2000 because of minor disagreements with the wording of the bill, such as the possibility of students retaking a class they had flunked for cheating.
When the bill was introduced anew in Student Senate last spring, those concerns had been addressed. A vast majority of students favored the bill, as evidenced by its overwhelming support in Senate. The bill passed smoothly through various committees and levels of University government, until a faculty petition was circulated, requiring the legislation to go to a vote in University Senate.
University Senate is made up of 80 students, and approximately 1,300 faculty, staff, and administrators. When the Senate assembled, so few faculty were present that a vote could not be taken, and the vote had to be conducted by mail-in ballot.
At that point, the faculty easily could have ignored the voices of students who had worked for five years to make this policy a reality. They could have ignored all the University committees who had reviewed and approved the change.
They could have, but they didn't. This summer, the bill passed the University Senate with a vote of 248-228. Having narrowly survived its final challenge, the course retake policy will go into effect for the incoming freshmen of 2001.
Thanks should go to many people, including the student senators who revived the issue and shepherded it through the process. But the highest thanks are due to the faculty who allowed student self-governance to beat the odds and become a reality.

Reflections on parking add/drop and communism
Welcome Freshmen! As you will discover over the coming years, every Fall some smarmy idiot tries to do everybody a favor by dispensing the lessons learned during four years of college. This year, I am that idiot. So, at the risk of sounding condescending, here is what I wish I knew in the fall of '98.
- Some of the best teachers on campus are graduate teaching assistants. So are some of the worst. Assess quickly whether or not your GTA is pushing a particular ideological agenda, or whether they appreciate constructive conflict. If they're firmly entrenched on the other side of your ideological fence, switch sections. Life will be a lot better.
Commentary
- Gauge your professors carefully, and make sure that your learning style and their teaching style mesh. Some are big on attendance and get quite upset if you are chronically absent. Others couldn't care less and only grade a few major evaluations. Most try to strike a balance. If you can tell that you are only going to attend your 8:30 every fifth session, switch sections.
- If you haven't been able to tell by now, I'm a huge fan of add/drop. Your current schedule is nothing more than an educated guess. Visit other classes you were looking at, and pick up a syllabus. Then make your scheduling decisions based on the new information.
- Never buy a book before you have the syllabus. There's no incentive to buy early (if the bookstore runs out, they'll order more). Often, you'll find

And now we come the most controversial part of my missives - the part that many fail to ever learn, even after decades here at KU.
I know this seems pretty simple for folks brought up in Western society, but the fact of the matter is that some people get angry at the KU Parking Department for (horror of horrors) regulating parking at KU.
that you've bought a 300 page book for $80 that you don't need to read for the class.
- You are not entitled to park anywhere you want.
The system is relatively straightforward. Your parking pass is a particular color. If you park in a parking lot not of that color, you may incur a $20 fine. If you park at an expired meter, you may incur a $5 fine. While it may, for some indiscernible reason, strike you as unfair that you are only allowed to park in lots that you have paid to park in, consider the alternative.
In everyone drove and parked anywhere they wanted there would be chaos. Faculty couldn't get on and off campus easily. People in the dorms would be driving to class, creating massive congestion. People living off-campus would drive around aimlessly waiting for spaces to open up without having any idea when and where that might happen. If you ask me, we're all pretty lucky the Parking Department is around.
Some people disagree with me. They believe that the Parking Department oppresses them by enforcing regulations a kindergartner could understand. They believe that the limited number of parking spaces must be distributed equally amongst the KU populace without regard to merit or purchased rights. These people are communists, which brings me to my final point.
- Don't listen to communists.
In the next four years a lot of people will advance a lot of stupid, impractical theories. Some of these people will be your peers. Some of them will be your instructors. Be polite. Smile. Nod. If the mood strikes you, agitate and shock your parents by becoming a post-modern vegan Reaganite with a nose ring and Newt Gingrich tattooed on your ass. But remember, someday you will be a newly minted graduate and will have to leave the weird and wonderful alternate universe we call college. Until then, enjoy your time here at KU. Rock Chalk Jayhawk, go KU!

RECYCLING
Dear Editors:
I entirely agree with Lindsey Hodel when she advocates for making recycling a top priority for the administration and students (editorial, Aug. 23). I would add that one impediment to growth of the KU recycling program has been the lack of space for the KU Recycling Office. KU Recycling handles an enormous amount materials, coordinates a large number of drivers and staff people, and runs their entire program out of a tiny office in Burt Hall. More space for KU Recycling would allow the program to expand even more and be a positive step for the environment at KU.

UNIVERSITY PRIORITIES
Dear Editors:
Summer is almost over and another semester of school has started. If you're like me, most of you have been working during the summer to save some money. A lot of that money will go to KU. Ever wonder where it goes? A few summer developments might pique your curiosity.
In a state where the average K-12 teacher earns $34,981 each year, public salaries past the quarter million mark are both disgusting and shameful. Hemenway and Bohl will earn around seven times the salary of a public school teacher. Are either doing seven times the work?
The same day Hemenway received a raise, he hired Allen Bohl as KU's new athletics director. Bohl's salary is $255,000 a year. Just one year ago, KU paid former Athletics Director Bob Frederick $166,000 a year for the same job. That's more than a 50 percent raise. To put things in perspective, Frederick had given 14 years of his life to KU - Bohl is a newcomer. But, maybe I'm being too harsh. The good news is that when it really counts, the Athletics Department can scrounge up another $89,000 each year. Too bad the men's tennis and swimming teams aren't around to hear the good news.
One day this past June, the Kansas Board of Regents met to adjust the salaries for the heads of Kansas's public universities. The Regents raised Chancellor Robert Hemenway's salary by 5.75 percent to $219.420.
And the worst part is that KU's excesses pale in comparison to KU's priorities. Astute readers may have noticed that Bohl makes about $35,000 more than Hemenway. Let me repeat. We pay the head of our Athletics Department more than the head of our entire university. And everyone is surprised when we drop in ranking in the U.S. News and World Report colleges guide? KU's priorities are loud and clear: athletics over academics.
With a raise like that, you'd think his salary had been frozen for years. Not so. This was the third year in a row that the Regents gave Hemenway a raise. Accounting for these three raises, the chancellor now earns slightly more than 120 percent of his base 1998 salary.

So next time you pay your tuition or your taxes, just be comforted that at least you know where your money's going.

New restaurant opening
Stone Canyon to offer west Lawrence a taste of various Italian entrees
KAREN CLAWSON/KANSAN
(20)
After one year of construction, Stone Canyon will open at the end of this month at 3801 W. Sixth St. Stone Canyon features a large water garden, outside patio and two bars.
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
A new Italian restaurant is coming to Lawrence.
Stone Canyon, 3801 W. Sixth St., will probably open Tuesday, said Georgeann Griffith, front-of-thehouse manager.
The restaurant will serve sandwiches, entrees, salads, gourmet pizzas and pastas. It will also operate a full bar.
"I don't believe there's a restaurant in Lawrence that has what we have." Griffith said.
The restaurant will serve lunch and dinner. However, for the first few weeks, the restaurant will serve only dinner and will not open until 4 p.m., Griffith said. Normal hours of operation will be from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.
In the future, Griffith said she thought there would be specials on the patio, such as live music and hog roasts.
Dishes at the restaurant start around $7 and cost up to $20.
Dave Ernst, Olathe senior, said
he loved Italian food and eats frequently at Paisano's Ristorante, 2112 W. 25th St., and Bambino's Italian Cafe, 1801 Massachusetts St. He said he would probably eat at Stone Canyon because he lived near the restaurant.
"Another Italian restaurant would be great for the west side of town." Ernst said.
Paisano's Ristorante's manager Trish vonTersch said she did not think the opening of another Italian restaurant in town would affect her business.
that love our traditional Italian recipes," she said. "All of our recipes are made from scratch, and the owners created each one."
"We have a wonderful client base
Like Paisano's Ristorante, Stone Canyon will have a banquet room and eventually have take-out food available, Griffith said. But Stone Canyon will not cater events.
Stone Canyon is owned by Kevin Heaton. He operates another Stone Canyon restaurant in Parkville, Mo.

Officials warn against apathy after Jayhawker Towers fire
By Laurie Harrison Kansan staff writer
As some residents of Jayhawker Towers discovered Sunday morning, not all fire alarms are false.
Not taking every fire alarm seriously could be a mistake for anyone, but it is especially dangerous for students living in University housing, a local fire official said.
No one was injured in the fire at Tower A of the towers. Officials said they're still investigating the cause of the blaze that generated an estimated $5,000 in damages.
Rich Barr, Lawrence fire marshal, said students have a risk of being trapped in the residence halls and should pay attention to every fire alarm.
"You need to react when the alarm goes off," Barr said. "Once you hear the fire alarm, you have to be conditioned to leave immediately."
Evacuating is the best scenario because the risk of death and injury is high for people living in any high-rise structure. Barr said.
Often the alternative to evacuation is dangerous.
"You need to react when the alarm goes off. Once you hear the fire alarm, you have to be conditioned to
leave immediately."
Rich Barr
Lawrence Fire Marshal
"If you live in an apartment building that's a couple of stories high, you may have the option of leaving a second-floor window," Barr said. "But if you're in the seventh floor of McColum, the window is not an option."
Barr said students should check their room doors for heat before exiting and check the hallway for smoke. If the smoke and heat prevent students from leaving their rooms, they should open their windows and yell for help.
Barr said that in recent
Fire Safety Tips:
■ Take every fire alarm seriously.
■ Check the door for heat before exiting.
■ Make sure paths are clear of smoke.
■ Shut the door after leaving the room.
years the University has taken steps to reduce the number of false alarms caused by technical malfunctions. However, some false alarms are pulled on purpose.
"If people are intentionally setting off alarms as a joke, it's a bad joke." Barr said.
He said prank fire alarms are tragedies because they affect people's future reactions to alarms.
Ara Johannes, a resident assistant at the towers, said she was worried because not every resident took the alarm seriously. Many thought it was a false alarm and didn't act until they were notified by staff.

Workers jailed for preaching gospel
Parents of missionaries ask Afghanistan officials to use compassion
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The parents of two American women imprisoned in Afghanistan on charges of preaching Christianity in this deeply devout Muslim nation apologized for anything wrong that their children did, a Taliban official said yesterday.
They also made a passionate appeal to the Taliban's reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, to release their children, Sohail Shaheen, a representative at the Afghan Embassy in neighboring Pakistan, told The Associated Press.
"They gave me a letter they had written to our supreme leader. It was an appeal to see their children on compassionate grounds," Shaheen said.
Gesturing to a deep brown couch, Shaheen said, "They sat right there, and the father of one of the American women said: 'We apologize if there is anything wrong that our children have done.'"
The parents did not make any reference to preaching Christianity, Shaheen said.
"They sat right there, and the father of one of the American women said: We apologize if there is anything wrong that our children have
The women, along with six other foreign aid workers and 16 Afghan staff of Shelter Now International, have not been seen since their arrest more than two weeks ago on charges of promoting Christianity. The aid group denies the charges.

Sohail Shaheen representative of Afghan Embassy
The mother of one imprisoned woman
and the father of the other woman submitted their visa applications on Wednesday, along with the letter to Omar and several letters for their daughters. Shaheen said.
"I have personally forwarded everything to the authorities in Kabul." Shaheen said.
The women, single and in their mid-20s, have been identified as Dana Curry and Heather Mercer. The other six jailed foreigners have been identified as Germans: George Taubmann, Margrit Stebnar, Kati Jelinek and Silke Duerrkopf, and Australians: Peter Bunch and Diana Thomas.
Three Western diplomats, who returned from Kabul on Tuesday after a week of trying unsuccessfully to see the jailed aid workers, also submitted fresh visa applications.
It is unlikely authorities in the beleaguered Afghan capital will deal with the applications before Saturday, because Friday is the Muslim Sabbath.

On Wednesday, a Taliban official outside the vice-and-virtue ministry in Kabul said the eight foreign aid workers have worn the same clothes for the last four days and had refused to accept a change of clothing.
They also refused to eat one day, he said, but relented when the Taliban brought food from their homes in Kabul.
He speculated that the group refused to change their clothes as a form of protest at their detention and at the Taliban's refusal to allow diplomats to visit them.
The Taliban authorities in Kabul have refused to say when their investigation will be completed, but they say it has expanded to include other aid organizations.
The U.N. World Food Program is the only other foreign aid organization mentioned by the Taliban as possibly being implicated in proselytizing charges. The agency has called the allegations "baseless."
The program said it works with 150 humanitarian groups in Kabul but does not take responsibility for any of their actions.
The WFP provides the food and aid groups distribute it to hundreds of thousands of hungry Afghans throughout the country, where a devastating drought and relentless fighting has created a humanitarian crisis, according to the United Nations.
Shelter Now International is operated by Vision for Asia, a Christian organization based in Germany. Its workers were described as missionaries by the U.S.-based Shelter Now International, which shares the name but has no affiliation.

President George W. Bush impelled Congress to curb spending that was draining the federal government's budget surpluses in a speech earlier this week in Independence, Mo.
Bush watches pennies as surplus dwindles
"The federal budget will have the second largest surplus in history," Bush told 800 people at Harry S. Truman High School on Tuesday.
The president said his $1.35 trillion

tax cut was affordable without dipping into Social Security or Medicare even with the economic slowdown.
"My No. 1 problem with Bush is that he doesn't give the details on where the numbers are coming from," said Douglas Hoang, Overland Park graduate student.

such questions. Its surplus projection for this year is $158 billion. This figure is much less than earlier projections for the year's surplus, which will leave little left after Social Security benefits are taken from it.
The budget surplus will continue to dwindle in the next few years because of the slowing economy and Bush's tax cuts, according to The New York Times.
The budget wasn't the only issue the president spoke about. He also touted his proposal to allow religious organizations to receive federal money.
"Government should not fear faith in America," Bush said. "We ought to welcome faith-based programs."
Anna Drewry, Lawrence freshman, supports the president's faith-based initiative.
"I agree with what he is saying because he's exalting the individual in America," Drewry said. "I think we each need to take the responsibility to see the needs around us and not always expect someone else to do it."
Architectural engineering faculty, students adjust to new school
Reach Smith at 864-4810.
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Architectural engineering students may lose track of some of their professors mid-semester.
Half the current faculty in the Architectural Engineering Program are scheduled to move their offices one block west from Broadcasting Hall to Learned Hall.
"The students will catch on to that really quickly," said John
Gaunt, dean of architecture and urban design.
The relocation is the only effect students will likely see of a new administrative structure implemented in the program, which is jointly owned and operated by the schools of architecture and engineering.
This fall, the School of Engineering takes full administrative responsibility for the program following a task-force recommendation to dissolve the two-school administration that operated the architectural engineering program for more than 30 years. Engineering is now responsible for the program's budget and the majority of its faculty.
Carl Locke, dean of engineering, said that the program had always operated well but that the administrative shift would "simplify the life of the faculty."
With simultaneous appoint
ments to each school and half their salary paid by each of two schools, architectural engineering faculty were sometimes unsure of where their research and tenure-track positions might lead.
Now, each professor is attached to his or her school of choice. Faculty retention is expected to improve under the new system, following the departure of two professors this summer who were headed to other universities, Gaunt said.
Four vacant faculty positions in the program are expected to be filled this year to bring the balance to six engineering professors and three in architecture.
The administrative overhaul will leave the architectural engineering curriculum untouched. The five-year undergraduate program is unique, with only two comparable programs in the
nation. Its 200 students enroll through the architecture school and spend their first two-and-a-half years studying there. Then they finish their degrees working with engineering professors and receive bachelor of science degrees in engineering.

Gary Condit discusses intern's disappearnce
Congressman says he and Levy were 'very close'
The Associated Press
MODESTO, Calif. — Rep.
Gary Condit acknowledged yesterday he had a "very close" relationship with former intern Chandra Levy but denied he had any role in her disappearance nearly four months ago.
Condit repeatedly refused to answer questions from ABC's Connie Chung about whether his relationship with Levy was sexual, saying only, "I've been married for 34 years, and I've not been a ... a perfect man, and I've made my share of mistakes."
The interview opened with a series of blunt questions about the 24-year-old woman vanishing. Condit denied he had anything to do with her disappearance, knew anyone who wanted to harm her, or had caused anyone to harm her.
The interview marked Condit's first extended public comments about Levy's disappearance and the start of a public relations offensive by the seven-term congressman.

Condit said he met Levy, 24,
then a Bureau of Prisons intern
from Modesto, in his home district,
last October, and "we became very close."
Condit was emphatic that he had cooperated with police. "I answered every question that was asked of me," he said.
Condit has been criticized by some of his congressional colleagues and constituents for wait-
ng nearly four months to talk publicly about Levy. Three newspapers serving his district have called for his resignation.
"I hope our relationship is strong enough to endure all of this." Condit told his constituents in the letter, which was addressed, "Dear Friends and Neighbors."
The interview was broadcast on the day that a letter from Condit to his constituents began arriving in mailboxes throughout his central California district.
"I would want him to say, 'I'm sorry I didn't come forward right away with the truth. I was scared of what was going to happen with my family and with my constituents and I thought about my political career and my personal life instead of this missing woman,'" said Erich, a political independent who has voted for Condit before but said she will not do so again.
Jacqeline Elrish, 33, a Modesto native, read Condit's letter yesterday on the steps of the post office. She said she hoped to hear on television what she did not find in the letter — an apology for his actions.
The subject of nonstop media attention since May, Condit has been heard only through brief statements and surrogates until now.
Two other women have come forward to allege affairs with Condit and to say they were pressured from the congressman or his aides not to talk to investigators looking into Levy's disappearance.
Seven months before he was infected, Godot got an experimental new AIDS vaccine, one experts hope will be the model for a shot to control the worldwide epidemic.
Monkeys are responsible for the change in attitude. In two decades of trying, scientists could not concoct a vaccine that would safely protect a monkey from dying of AIDS. Until now.
ATLANTA — The scientists trying to create a vaccine to prevent AIDS suddenly seem optimistic. For the first time, many researchers appear confident a vaccine is possible.
The Associated Press
Now monkeys like Godot, a handsome, blond, 4-year-old macaque living in the biohazard containment center at Emory University, are infected but otherwise healthy. A year ago, Godot received a dose of SHIV, a lab-made conglomerate of the human and monkey versions of the AIDS virus.
Monkey shows response to new AIDS vaccine
Lead-paint study investigated
The vaccine is already in first-stage human testing.
The new vaccine is designed to start the opening counterattack by killer cells more quickly, so fewer helper cells get infected, and the virus eventually plateaus at a much lower level.
The Associated Press
Until now, all useful vaccines prevented infections. However, the human immune system cannot turn back an HIV infection, and no one knows how to make a vaccine that accomplishes something the human body cannot do for itself.
So the new vaccine is designed to accomplish the next best thing — train the immune defenses to hold an infection in check without preventing it entirely.
BALTIMORE — The government is investigating a lead-paint study of poor city children that a judge has likened to Nazi research on concentration camp prisoners.
The probe is being conducted by the Health and Human Services Department's Office for Human Research, which briefly shut down human research at Johns Hopkins University this year following the death of an asthma study volunteer.
Investigators are looking into a federally funded study by the Kennedy Krieger Institute, which is also affiliated with Johns Hopkins, that examined inexpensive alternatives for removing lead paint.
Landlords were paid to recruit about 100 families with healthy children to live in their homes during the early 1990s. Children, who can develop brain damage if they eat lead paint chips, were to be tested periodically to see how well the abatement methods worked.
Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of two children who allegedly suffered elevated
blood-lead levels and irreversible brain damage in the study. The suits seek unspecified damages from the landlords and Kennedy Krieger, a children's hospital and research center.
Last week, state Judge Dale R. Cathell allowed the lawsuits to proceed and criticized the university's Institutional Review Board for protecting the interests of researchers at the expense of the children.
The judge said the research project contained problems similar to those in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which was conducted on uneducated black men in Alabama from the 1930s to 1970s. Cathell also drew comparisons to typhus experiments conducted on prisoners at the Buchenwald concentration camp during World War II.
Kennedy Krieger chief executive Gary Goldstein said the children ran a high risk of lead paint exposure because they already lived in older houses.
In the asthma study case, federal regulators found that researchers bypassed several safety checkpoints.

Big 12 won't take national title, money
By Doug Pacey Columnist
Four preseason top 15 college football teams.
One is last year's national champion.
One is last year's national champion. One has won three national championships in the last decade.
One has been atop a handful of this year's preseason rankings
year's preschool earnings. One has won more games in the last three years than any other Big 12 school.
None will be in the national championship game on Jan. 3, 2002, at the Rose Bowl.
More importantly, the Big 12 will lose out — as it has before — on a big payday.
Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas and Kansas State are all good enough to contend for college football's title, but because of the Big 12 Championship game, they won't be posing for pictures with Mickey on Christmas Day.
Mathematically, only two can finish the regular season undefeated. The Sooners will play all three teams, but the Longhorns will not face the Cornhuskers and Wildcats. Let's say Nebraska beats K-State and ends the season a perfect 12-0, and Texas beats Oklahoma to finish an unblemished 11-0.
An All-Big 12 match-up in Pasadena, Calif., would be a huge boost for the blossoming Big 12. It also would give Big 12 schools at least $18 million to divvy up. The Bowl Championship Series guarantees $12-15 million to each school in its bowls — the Sugar, Fiesta, Orange and Rose — but if a conference has more than one team participating in a BCS bowl, the second team is awarded $6 million.
But it's not as simple as that. Remember that imaginary Big 12 Championship game? Nebraska beat Texas 33-17. Now the Cornhuskers are going to play a 10-1 Florida State team, which didn't play a conference championship game, in the Rose Bowl. And Texas, because of the loss and subsequent low BCS rating, will face Alabama in the low-paying Cotton Bowl.
It would not be the first time.
Slash $6 million from that $18 million figure and a dream match-up for the conference.
In 1998, the first year of the BCS, Texas A&M beat then-No. 1 K-State 36-33 in the conference championship, making the Aggies the Big 12's representative to the BCS, despite the Wildcats' higher BCS rating — third. K-State could have been selected to a BCS bowl but ended up losing to Purdue in the $1.1 million Alamo Bowl.
The Big 12 was also kept out of the national championship game in 1996. An unranked Texas squad upset thenNo. 3 Nebraska 37-27. The BCS was not commissioning bowl pairings then, but if Nebraska won, they might have gone on to its third straight national title.
The title game is bad business for the Big 12. K-State coach Bill Snyder and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops voiced their displeasure with the game at Big 12 media day. Stoops said the conference championship puts the Big 12 and Southeastern Conference, the only other conference to have such a game, at a severe disadvantage.
If Oklahoma lost to K-State last year in the Big 12 championship game, it's doubtful it would have played for the national championship. A pairing of one-loss teams, Miami and Florida State, would have been more attractive.
The net result of the five-year-old Big 12 Championship game is this: two teams missed out on a berth to the national championship game (Nebraska in 1996 and K-State in 1998) and millions of dollars lost for the Big 12 schools.
That just doesn't make sense.
Quarterback Quagmire
Kansas football coach Terry Allen has yet to pick his quarterback. Until Kansas travels west to Boulder, Colo., to take on the Buffaloes on Sept. 22. Allen said he would do what last season he said he would not. He will use both quarterbacks for three games until one overtakes the other.

Kinsey's speed shines in no-huddle offense
Mario Kinsey walked into the Sports Information office wearing a red skull cap on his head, an oversized Tim Duncan Nike T-shirt, baggy Nike shorts and a pair of electric blue and gray sandals. He slouced into his chair, showing the backside of his forearms as he clasped his hands together. The word "Texas" tattooed on his right arm, "Boy" on his left.
The new decorations on Kinsey's arms are only a part of his change from last season. He has also chosen to don the No.17 after wearing No.14 during spring ball. The number change is to pay homage to his idol, Charlie Ward, a former Florida State Heisman Trophy winner and current New York Knick point guard. But it is also a change for the future — his future.
Kinsey is looking forward to a breakthrough season.
17
through season.
"Change in maturity, change in number, change in style, change in person," he said. "I've grown up a lot from last year. I was very playful last year. This year, I feel that I am a natural leader and that a lot of people will follow me."
There was a time last spring when no one would have had a chance to follow Kinsey.
After playing wide receiver on the scout team last year while he was a red-shirt, he joined the Kansas basketball team and saw court time in November when the Jayhawks played at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Two months later, Kinsey's playing time at point guard dwindled, as did his grades. He left the team in January to focus on the two factors that brought him to Kansas — school and football. His academic work in the spring and summer were satisfactory.
"I am solely
football player," he said.
"The chances of me returning to basketball are slim. I came here to get an education.I came here to play football,to be the starter."
While Zach Dyer specializes in setting his feet and throwing the football, Kinsey more often tucks the ball and runs. Dyer said he could beat Kinsey in a dead 40-yard sprint, but he said Kinsey had more elusiveness from side to side. It's this type of mobility that could propel Kinsey into the starting slot.
It's this type of mobility, Kinsey said, that is perfect for quarterback coach Rip Scherer's shotgun offense.
"The new offense is incredible," Kinsey said. "I already like it a lot. We can do so many things from so many different standpoints. It should allow me to do some exciting things."
Kinsey said he wanted his game to provoke excitement. He doesn't want to play safely. He wants to play dangerously under the ropes of the offense. He said he thinks this is what separates him from Dyer.
SEE QUAGMIRE, KINSEY PAGE 3B
Dyer hopes to lead the Crimson and Blue
Zach Dyer, wearing an old football T-shirt, gray mesh Nike shorts and J.Crew flip-flops, plopped himself on top of a table in the Kansas football training room just after practice Monday afternoon. Student trainer Tony Erisman stood behind him, wrapping two, two-pound bags of ice on Dyer's right elbow and shoulder. With the bags attached, Dyer glanced at a clock on the wall to his right. He had 15 minutes to absorb the cold.
"My arm's fine." Dyer said, smiling. "It's just that during two-a-days when you throw twice a day, it gets really sore."
Since the start of two-a-days on last Aug. 15, Dyer has felt much more at home running the new Kansas offense, which was tweaked this summer upon the arrival of cooffensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer. The offensive scheme involves more shotgun looks and no-huddle sets, causing Dyer and other quarterbacks to call the play at the line of scrimmage as opposed to a traditional huddle.
"This offense gives you mo freedom," he said. "The aim is to speed things up,to get the play off with 15 seconds on the clock. It keeps the defense on their heels.
as opposed to a situation where "This offense gives you more"
They can't substitute as much."
Throughout two-a-days, as was the case in spring football practice, Dyer had been substituting with Mario Kinsey in the No. 1 quarterback slot. Dyer started the April 21 spring game instead of Kinsey because Allen said he thought that he had performed more consistently throughout practice. After the game, in which both quarterbacks put up similar numbers, Allen remained ambivalent about who his guy was.
With the controversy on hold for June and July, Dyer remained in Lawrence to take two classes, Nutrition and Macroeconomics, and to work with his wide receivers. In

the afternoons, he would hit the weight room from 3 to 5:30 p.m. and then spend his evenings studying or hanging out with friends. He also had time to drive down to Dallas to see his girlfriend for a weekend and head up north to Washington, D.C. for five days to play golf with his father, Darrell, and third-string quarterback Jonas Weatherbie. He had time to be a normal kid again, he said, without the distractions.
But when practice geared up last week, the quarterback talk ensued. He expected it, but it was not something he missed this summer.
"Both of us are sick of it," he said. "We heard it last spring, then two-a-days, then now. We're both competitive guys, and we get along well, too.
"But the bottom line is to win games."
Dyer grew up idolizing John Elway and Brett Favre, classic drop-back quarterbacks with the savvy to come up big in clutch situations. Dyer admired how they won and how their teams fed off of their energy late in the game. Elway and Favre would rather run a guy over than toss a touchdown pass, always putting the team in front of themselves. Dyer craves for that role on this Jayhawk football team to be the starting quarterback who guides his team to victory.

Fans find extra thrill in fantasy football
Internet leagues help some students stay interested in NFL football
By Jason Hwang Kansan sportswriter
Summer is coming to a close.
Sharpen your pencils, analyze your research and rally your brain cells. It's time to go back to ... fantasy football?
That's right. The start of the 2001 National Football League season is almost here. While fans gather to see how well — or in some cases, how bad — their favorite team or players will do, more passionate fans go a step further and participate in Internet fantasy football leagues.
Jay McLaughlin, Winnetka, ill., junior, said he played fantasy football to be more involved as a spectator.
"I like to gamble with fantasy football because none of us are athletic enough to play anymore." McLaughlin said.
The ideology of fantasy football leagues is simple. Participants select a certain number of players, and most often, each participant selects players with the best statistics. The better a participant's players perform in each game, the more points the participant can earn. The more points a participant earns, the bigger his or her chances are to win.
Traditionally, participants of
fantasy football tend to shy away from selecting football players who are injury-prone, inconsistent in their play, playing for bad teams or just plain awful.
In most leagues, participants select two quarterbacks, three or four running backs, three or four wide receivers, two tight ends, two kickers and two team defenses.
Jonathan McQueen, Lenexa junior, said he enjoyed fantasy football leagues because he got to do more than just watch the games.
"Itgives me something to follow," McQueen said. "You get into the game more by watching the games through the TV or newspaper and follow your players and see how they did each game."
The points participants earn each week through fantasy offense positions are based on the amount of passing, rushing and receiving yards, touchdowns, field goals, extra points after touchdowns and so forth. Points can also be deleted for player miscues, such as fumbles and interceptions. For team defenses, points can come from defensive touchdowns, quarterback sacks, fumble recoveries and fewer points and yards allowed per game.
McLaughlin said fantasy football kept him in contact with friends from a distance.
"Despite the life changes through college, fantasy football is one thing that keeps us connected," McLaughlin said.
The Breakdown
Each participant selects a certain number of professional football players.
The better a participant's players perform each week, the more points the participants earn.
- Offensive points are based on the number of yards and touchdowns a player earns per game.
- Defensive points are based on the number of defensive touchdowns, sacks and fumble recoveries.
- Points can be subtracted for errors such as fumbles and interceptions.
There are two types of fantasy football leagues: salary cap and draft.
Salary cap leagues allow participants to pick any players until the quantity limit, which varies in each league. Participants are given a limit of how much "imaginary money" to spend on the maximum amount of players picked. Players worth more money tend to be more talented and more productive statistically. Participants must pick the bare minimum amount of players, and the combined amount of salary money must remain under the salary cap.
Draft leagues allow participants to pick players in a draft order. There are two types of drafts: live online and automated drafts. In live online drafts, each participant must be logged onto their computer at a scheduled time and participate in a live draft. Each participant is given a random draft number. In most leagues, there are 15 draft rounds, and each participant drafts one player per round. In
automated drafts, the fantasy league computer system drafts players for each participant based on player rankings in each football position. Again, each participant is give a random draft order number.
While many participants play in free fantasy leagues, some competitors, like McQueen, value leagues that charge money to play.
"It's fun to wager a little to spice up the competition," McQueen said. "It keeps people even more interested, especially weekly wins."
There are several fantasy football leagues to join on the Internet. Most leagues are formed at the Web sites of major sports corporations, such as ESPN, Sports Illustrated and CBS. Free leagues are available, but some leagues require a small fee to play. But money leagues offer prizes to the winners. The price range in money leagues is $9.95 to $29.95.

After the team finished first in the Big 12 in 1999 and second in 2000, the
Although Kansas was still a participant in the NCAA Midwest Regionals, the team could muster only a 15th-place finish and failed to qualify for the NCAA Championship.
Going into this year, however coach Ross Randall is confident that this season's Jayhawks have a competitive streak that should make this team dangerous toward the end of the season.
"It's a new team with a lot of young players," Randall said. "I have high expectations, and I think we're going to be pretty good."
The bulk of those expectations rest on the shoulders of the team's top three returning players from last year.
Seniors Casey Harbour and Travis Hurst, along with junior
Chris Marshall, look to lead the youthful team into competition
Although the top three spots on the team are fairly secure, Randall must turn to a host of young players that includes four freshmen and two sophomores.
One young gun Randall is counting on is highly-touted incoming freshman Ryan Rainer.
The Norman, Okla., standout comes to Kansas with an impressive resume that includes last year's 6A Class Championship in Oklahoma, where Rainer won the championship by five shots.
Along with Rainer, Randall expects the other freshmen, Peter Krsnich, Kevin Ward and Jason Sigler, to make a strong impact on this year's team.
"This year's recruiting class is the best recruiting class we've ever had," Randall said. "They're really solid, good players."
Randall will throw his troops under the microscope starting tomorrow when the Jayhawks begin their qualifying rounds at Alvamar, where the players will be fighting for the spots to represent Kansas in the early tournaments.
"It's going to be very competitive, especially for the younger guys playing for spots," Harbour said.
The Jayhawks begin their fall schedule Sept. 8 at The Ridges Intercollegiate in Jonesborough, Tenn.

Quagmire: Backs vie for position
Kinsey: Risk-taking, leadership and speed will be assets
"Zach takes risks too, but I think that I am more of a risk taker," Kinsey said. "Coach Scherer always tells us that in this offense you are going to have to take risks. I feel that we have the players on the field to make plays, so whn not let them."
"I feel that I a playmaker. In a crucial point of the game, fourth quarter, at 1:15 left, we're down by six, I feel that I can drive the ball 80 yards and score."
But Kinsey is not only playing for himself. His daughter, Jakayla, will turn 4 in November. He's playing for his aunt and uncle too, Charles and Johnnie Johnson, who have been his legal guardians since he was 6 days old.
Most importantly, he said, he is playing for his teammates. He is playing for his coaches. He is playing to put Kansas back on the map. This family inspires him as much as his blood.
"We have our differences every now and then, but me and Zach, we will always be cool."
Troy Mailen KU Public Safety Office
And Zach Dyer is a part of this family
"When you are a part of KU football, you are a part of a big family." Kinsey said. "We have our differences every now and then, but me, Zach, we will always be cool.
"I feel that we are at the opportunity where we are about to turn the corner. We just need somebody to jump behind the wheel and make the turn. And I feel like I can be that person."
Dyer: Strong arm to be tested in next three games
"I think I am that team leader, that team winner," he said, while he started to unravel the athletic bandages from his shoulder and elbow. "Nothing is really given. There's always somebody else waiting to take your job. If it comes to it, it may be frustrating playing behind Mario, but it made us it both better faster."
If not named the starter, Dyer said he had no intention playing elsewhere. He is more than halfway finished with his degree in business administration and enjoys it in Lawrence. Transferring would be too much of a hassle, he said.
The 15 minutes were up. Dyer jumped off the training table and grabbed a Gatorade from a nearby cooler. His arm numbed as he opened his drink.
School reprimanded for overzealous tutors
USC receives probation after three athletes cheat to make grades
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The NCAA placed the University of Southern California athletic program on probation for two years and cut scholarships yesterday because tutors wrote papers for three athletes three times in the late 1990s.
The NCAA and the university refused to identify the athletes two football players and a woman diver.
The diver was expelled in 1997, right after the academic fraud was discovered. Two tutors were fired while the third quit.
The probation covers the entire athletic department. Two football scholarships for the 2002-03 academic year were cut and half a scholarship for the women's swimming and diving team was canceled.
The probation will have no ramifications on postseason football bowl games.
The school said it had changed the athlete tutor program in an effort to prohibit more fraud.
USC initiated the investigation — one violation each in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Jack Friedenthal, chairman of the NCAA Infractions Committee and law professor at George Washington University, said during a telephone conference call.
One football player got an A- in political science in 1996 after submitting a tutor-written paper.
The diver turned in a rough draft of a paper for a 1997 writing class handwritten by the tutor, then submitted the final paper in her own handwriting.
A second football player got a C in a religion course in 1998 after a fraudulent paper was submitted.
The NCAA and the university refused to release the names of the tutors involved. Friedenthal said that when the school learned the diver had committed academic fraud, her grade was changed to F and she was expelled.
Two professors, whose names were not disclosed, refused to change the grades for the football players and they remained at the university. It was not immediately known whether they were allowed to remain on the team. The school also wouldn't say if the students were still enrolled.
"We do not tolerate cheating at USC, and this case should signal our seriousness and our determination to root out those who do," said Mike Diamond, USC executive vice provost. "Even a single instance of improper assistance for a student-athlete is too many."
The NCAA said it had no evidence that coaches or assistant coaches or tutor directors asked the athletes or tutors to take part in the deception.
When the NCAA asked the professors
"We do not tolerate cheating at USC, and this case should signal our seriousness and determination to root out those who do." Mike Diamond USC Executive Vice Provst
involved why they didn't change the grades and expel the football players, it was told it was "a matter of academic freedom." Friedenthal said.
"The athletes were very forthcoming," Friedenthal said. "We don't have any information to indicate that the coaches inadvertently or deliberately had specific knowledge that anything improper was going on."
All of those involved were placed under a show-cause order, meaning for the next two years any NCAA-covered university that hires any teacher, tutor or student who took part must show they are not engaging in activities that would be in violation of NCAA rules, Friedental said.

Summer run-ins with law plague Cornhuskers
BASEBALL
Arrest keeps top running back away from field for season opener
The Associated Press
Solich shepherded his Cornhuskers through practice yesterday in preparation for tomorrow's season opener against Texas Christian in the Pigskin Classic, which they will play without top running back Dahrran Diedrick.
LINCOLN, Neb. — After weeks of headlines about Nebraska football players in trouble with the law, coach Frank Solich knows that no news is good news.
The junior was suspended for the game after being cited last weekend for disturbing the peace outside a Lincoln bar.
He is one of four players who were arrested on various misdemeanor offenses during the summer. A fifth player, linebacker Randy Stella, was kicked off the team for violating undisclosed team rules.
Sollic said Diedrick had a hand in deciding his punishment.
"He just felt it was so bothersome to the team ... he wanted to get it settled right away." Solich yesterday." I just wanted to make sure I was as right as I felt I could be."
Solich said he wanted the team to get on with the season.
"Getting back to football is great," he said. "The guys are wanting to get in the routine of playing games. I think the coaches are too."
Diedrick is the second Cornhusker suspended for the opener.
Starting kicker Josh Brown will be on the sidelines after his assault conviction for fighting with another student who was dating his former girlfriend.
Thunder Collins, who will start in place of Diedrick, was arrested in June for allegedly fighting with his girlfriend, Nebraska basketball player Shannon Howell. Assault charges against Collins were dropped this month when he agreed to enter a pretrial diversion program.
Diedrick and backup linebacker Tony Tata, who is out with a knee injury, both spent about an hour in jail early Sunday after being arrested for disturbing the peace in separate incidents at the same bar.
Solich said he thought Collins would play well.
"I feel confident with Thunder starting," he said. "He's shown that he can do what we ask him do to with our offense"

Collison cashes in after winning gold with USA Basketball national squad
Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
There's nothing like a little incentive to fuel an athlete's drive. This summer, 5,000 incentives kept Nick Collison going.
Collison, along with 11 of the top collegiate players in the nation, represented the United States at the FIBA World Championship for Young Men in Saitama, Japan. He also had the chance to pocket some cash in the process.
with a 89-80 victory against Croatia in the gold-medal game, each of the 12 players earned a sense of national pride as well as a $5,000 check.
Collison, a junior forward, said the money factor kept the team motivated during the tournament.
"Sometimes you have a lot of guys kind of upset about playing time or not getting the ball," Collison said. "Now, it was like. 'Let's get the money and get out of here.' You always want to win for your country, but this might get more people focused for the entire time you are over there."
USA Basketball, because of a rule change, now allows pay for amateur athletes participating on its teams. The NCAA approved the rule as a way to
entice the top collegiate players to participate on USA Basketball teams.
Collison said he was still thinking about how to spend his gold-medal money.
"I don't know how I'll spend it yet," Collison said. "I'll probably buy a computer. And my minivan died. I might do something there, too."
At the age of 20, most wouldn't consider Collison a veteran. But in the world of USA Basketball, that's exactly what he is.
By playing in Japan this summer, Collision spent his fourth consecutive year competing on a USA Basketball team.
"I didn't really feel like a veteran," Collison said. "But it definitely helped having played before. I knew all the international rules, and I knew how some of the international teams would play."
Collison's experience showed in his play. The Iowa Falls, Iowa, native started in all eight of the team's games and averaged 9.1 points per game. He was also second on the team with 5.4 rebounds per game. In the United States' gold-medal victory, Collison turned in his best scoring performance with 15 points.
win other big men, such as Duke's Carlos Boozer and Iowa's Reggie Evans.
"I don't know how I'll spend it yet. I'll probably buy a computer. And my minivan died. I might do something there, too." Nick Collison
Nick Collison Kansas junior forward
on the squad, Collison was used more on the perimeter.
"I was a little more comfortable this year than I had been in the past," Collison said. "I got to work on more things, especially on the perimeter, and I was able to work on taking people off the dribble."
Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, who coached the USA team, told ESPN.com that Collison was a good defender but still had room for improvement.
After winning a silver medal for his USA team last season, Collison said winning gold still meant a lot to him even if money had not been involved.

Newspaper boxes may eat KUIDs
Some IDs cause problems in retrieving newspapers from boxes on campus
By Luke Daley Kansas staff writer
Students using the new student newspaper readership program—a service providing national and local newspapers on campus at low cost to students—may need to watch out for their KUID cards.
In order to open the machines, which contain copies of The New York Times, USA Today, The Lawrence Journal-World and The Kansas City Star, students must insert their KUID cards into a card reader that unlocks the door to the newspapers.
The problem occurs when students insert damaged or split cards, which can be jammed or broken in the machine.
Ben Walker, Hutchinson senior and former student body president, spearheaded the newspaper project during his term last year in Student Senate. He said that he had worried about using the cards to activate the machines.
Walker said KUIDs had to be used to ensure only students would have access to the papers. However, he said he was aware faculty would be able to pick up stray copies around campus.
KU Card director Nancy Miles said that since implementing the readership program.

two students had needed cards replaced because of the machines. One of the cases involved a defective card, she said.
Miles said that it was too soon to tell how many cards would need to be replaced.
"I'm not anticipating a whole lot of problems," she said.
Matthew Kapfer, Lawrence junior, said he didn't mind using his KUID card or paying more student fees if he could get the newspapers on campus.
"I think it's a good way to learn what's going on with the rest of the world," Kapfer said. "If it wasn't free, chances are I wouldn't get one. I don't mind paying the $6.50 to keep us students up on what's going on in the world."
Walker said that the readership program benefited students and their knowledge of local and national issues.
"It's a better chance for students to learn about regional news, national news, and international news," Walker said. "I know that the benefits of students' involvement is empowering the generation."

City closes fraternity
Residents of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house, 1116 Indiana St., are scattered across town, living in hotels or with friends, after the city forced them to leave last week.
"They are not allowed to be in the building," said Barry Walthall, Inspections Supervisor. "All they have permission to do in the building is to remove belongings and check on construction."
The fraternity was renovating to the house when the city received a complaint about the house's condition, said Ben Kaplan, Alpha Epsilon Pi president. The reported problems —
"They are not allowed to be in the building."
Barry Walthall Inspection supervisor
including electrical and structural wiring, a hole in the floor and boiler safety concerns prompted Walthall to inspect the house.
"The complaints were correct and accurate," Walthall said.
Last summer, sprinklers were installed in the house, and this summer, more renovations were underway to keep the house up to code, said Kaplan, St. Paul, Minn., junior.
Since the inspection, the hole in the stairway was fixed, but Walthall said more problems needed to be addressed.
"I guess the city's list of things were different than the list of things we have," Kaplan said.
He said some of the problems the inspectors noticed were old problems that no one found until the inspectors were in the building.
Kaplan is unsure how long it will take to bring the house up to code.
"It is very sketchy on how long we have to wait," Kaplan said. "We have heard anywhere from tomorrow until six weeks."

DEMONSTRATORS 'RECLAIM' MASSACHUSETTS STREET FOR AN EVENING
Savannah St
Demonstrators rally on Massachusetts Street, intending to draw attention to a range of issues including the increasingly corporate nature of downtown Lawrence. The protestors used couches to block of the 600 block of the street for about an hour Friday.
Protesters rally against retailers with block party
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
A group of Lawrence residents effectively closed off Massachusetts Street between 6th and 7th streets on Friday evening in an attempt to raise awareness of commercialization and to have fun.
Organizers called the event "Reclaim the Streets," mirroring similar parties held in major cities around the world
Lizzie Ayer, one of the participants in the event and a Lawrence resident, said two goals were to combat American consumer culture and to use public space as a meeting place for local residents to gather and discuss.
The Gap, American Eagle, Eddie Bauer, and Abercrombie and Fitch are all located in the block of downtown Lawrence where the protest took place. Street chalk writings and signs targeted those businesses. Chalkings in front of the Gap read, "No slave labor," and "Destroy your capitalist mother."
Ayer said she was pleased with the nature and outcome of the event. She said most of the people she talked with throughout the evening were interested in what the group was trying to communicate.
"I'm new to the community," she said. "I didn't know what to expect, but it was much better than I expected."
Jon Tramba, who works at Liberty Hall and was downtown Friday, said that although he enjoyed the event, a lack of organization confused him.
"There wasn't enough communication to get across a singular point, and that's too bad," said Tramba, Lawrence senior.
Tramba also said he feared the bombastic tone of the protestors' literature might have offended some of the people they were trying to reach.
Dave Strano and Dylan Desmond, Overland Park sophomore, said the variety of issues discussed at the protest were part of its appeal. They live in a house that has parties routinely shut down by Lawrence police.

Students should do homework before buying cell phones
by Laurie Harrison
Kansan staff writer
Despite the conveniences of owning a cell phone, students are discovering the pitfalls.
It's best for consumers to do their homework before purchasing cellular phones, according to a recent study by a consumer advocacy organization.
"It's very easy to run up high cell phone bills," said Sherrie Gayed, Overland Park sophomore.
Consumers Union, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization that publishes the magazine Consumer Reports, completed a study of 11 cellular phones and more than 1,000 cellular-service pricing plans last year.
The study explained that consumers should be aware of the many costs of owning cellular phones, such as monthly fees, long distance charges and roaming fees. Customers can save money if they know what kind of user they'll be before buying a phone, according to the study. That way they don't buy minutes they won't use.
INSIDETODAY
For instance, customers who will use cellular phones only for emergencies should look for basic service plans.
Average callers who use the phones for about 40 minutes a week should buy either basic plans that add many extra minutes or flat-rate plans.
Customers that spend over 100 minutes a week on the cell phone should look for flat-rate plans.
Timika Williams, Junction City junior, said she bought the basic service plan when she purchased her first cell phone this week. She and her sister bought
phones to use for emergencies and to find each other on campus since they share a car.

Chancellor Robert Hemenway
Hemenway said the male subject wandered into the house under the influence of drugs. He said men working on the grounds saw the trespasser entering the side door of the residence and contacted the KU Public Safety Office.
"They caught up with him right away," Hemenway said.
Subsequently, he was taken for treatment. Hemenway said.
The KU Public Safety Office was unable at press time to locate the report identifying the male subject's age and relation to the University of Kansas.

Four draw winning tickets to latest Powerball jackpot
ROLLINSFORD, N.H. — The numbers are in and the $294.8 million Powerball lottery jackpot will be split four ways — whenever the winners decide to step forward.
Winning tickets for Saturday night's drawing were sold in New Hampshire, Delaware, Kentucky and Minnesota.
The winning numbers drawn Saturday night in Des Moines, Iowa, were 8-17-22-42-47 plus the Powerball number of 21.
Each winning ticket is worth $73.7 million, or $2.9 million per year for 25 years if the winner or winners take the annuity. The cash option is good for $41.4 million. All of the figures are before taxes.
The jackpot for the game, played in 21 states and the District of Columbia, was the second-highest in Powerball history. A group of factory workers in Ohio split a $295.7 million prize in 1998.
The richest lottery prize in U.S. history was $363 million in the Big Game jackpot, won last year by two players in Illinois and Michigan.
The odds of winning the Powerball are one in 80 million.
Pills may eliminate need for diabetics' daily shots
CHICAGO — Purdue University scientist believes they've found a way to make insulin for diabetics available in pills instead of daily shots.
The breakthrough is a new acrylic-based, gel-like coating on the pills to improve the body's absorption of insulin.
Injection under the skin allow insulin to be absorbed slowly enough to control blood sugar levels. But efforts to control diabetes with insulin pills have failed because the body digests them much too quickly.
The new product, so far tested only in diabetic rats and dogs, "can potentially overcome these barriers," said researcher Nicholas Peppas, a professor of chemical and biomedical engineering at Purdue.

Aaliyah, eight others die in plane crash in Bahamas
NATIONAL NEWS
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — From the moment the 15-
year-old Aaliyah burst onto the scene in 1994
— an R&B singer whose sultry voice, striking good looks and sexy attitude belied her young age — it seemed as if everything she touched became a success.
Her debut album sold more than 1 million copies, she was nominated for a Grammy twice and even her foray into the movies yielded a surprise hit.
"I was trained since I was a little girl to be able to do it all," the 22-year-old artist said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.
Her career had barely begun to peak when she was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas on Saturday.
Eight others on board also perished when the twin-engine Cessna they were traveling in went down shortly after it took off; Aaliyah had been filming a video for the next single off her album.
A statement released yesterday by the singer's publicist, PMK, said, "Aaliyah's family is devastated at the loss of their loving daughter and sister. Their hearts go out to those families who also lost their loved ones in this tragic accident."
She is survived by her mother, father and brother.
In 1999, she was nominated for a Grammy award for best female R&B performance for "Are You That Somebody;" she was nominated once again this year for "Try Again," the song from Romeo Must Die, her first shot at the movies.
The action film also starred jet Li and was a surprise hit at the box-office, making Aaliyah a much sought-after actress in Hollywood. She won a starring role in the film adaptation of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned, and also landed coveted roles in sequels to The Matrix.
Westport curfew to be enforced
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Minors under 18 hanging out in the Westport entairtainment district after midnight will be detained, police said.
Beginning Labor Day weekend, officers will enforce the city's 10-year-old curfew ordinance in the bar district.
The crackdown is the latest effort to address safety concerns caused by the large numbers of young people in the streets of Westport on summer Saturday nights and the lines of traffic they create.
Under the curfew ordinance, parents can be fined $500 for a second violation. Fines will not be given until next year, said Police Maj. Jan Zimmerman.
Jermaine Reed, 17, a senior at Northeast High School who has been a youth voice at
some task force meetings formed to address the issue, said he considered a curfew of about 2 a.m. more reasonable than midnight.
"Everybody just wants to look good and meet new people," Reed said, adding that police "should have enforced the curfew a long time ago. Now, it seems like they are waiting until after the fact."
Zimmerman said that one reason for the enforcement delay was that curfews presented a logistical nightmare for the police.
A bus intended for mass arrests will take minors to the police department's Central Patrol, where they will be held until their parents or guardians claim them. If parents can't be found until 4 a.m., police will take the youths to the Juvenile Justice Center. Zimmerman said he thought police could hold about 70 youths at a time.
ON THE RECORD
Three items were reported stolen between 2:30 a.m. Aug. 20 and 2:30 a.m. Aug. 21 from a Budig Hall restroom, according to a KU Public Safety Office report. The stolen goods were valued at $75.

graduate student Aaron Foss would allow pills to survive the harsh digestive acids in the stomach, and let insulin seep into the bloodstream through the small intestine, the researchers said.
CONTINUED FROM PILLS
Their research was among reports on yesterday's agenda at the start of the American Chemical Society's five-day national meeting in Chicago.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps convert foods including sugar into energy.
In diabetes, affecting about 16 million Americans, the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin, resulting in too much sugar in the blood.
Some diabetics must inject themselves daily with insulin to help regulate blood sugar levels, but the shots can be painful, inconvenient and costly.
While most diabetics who require insulin injections, alternatives include small insulin pumps, and research into inhaled insulin has shown promise. But some scientists say the most important research involves finding ways to avoid having to administer insulin.
Externally administered insulin can't completely keep fluctuating blood sugar levels under control, and diabetics are prone to a host of serious complications including eye, kidney and nerve damage.
"What we're doing now is imperfect because you can't match insulin to glucose levels," said Dr. Francine Kaufman, president-elect of the American Diabetes Association and a pediatric endocrinologist at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
She said a pill would be "an answer but it's not THE answer."
Study finds date-related abuse for both boys, girls
MINNEAPOLIS — One in 10 girls and nearly one in 20 boys reported being raped or physically abused on dates, a broad survey of high school students found.
Researchers analyzing a 1998 survey of Minnesota ninth- and 12th-graders also found that the victims of both genders were much more likely than non-abused young people to report emotional problems including suicidal thoughts and eating disorders, and to have lower emotional well-being and self-esteem.
And with about 6 percent of the boys and girls reporting some type of date-related violence by ninth grade, the study shows the need to begin preventive efforts before high school, said the lead author, psychologist Diann Ackard.
Ackard, who's in private practice in Golden Valley, planned to present her findings yesterday at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association in San Francisco.
While previous studies had similar findings for girls, the work by Ackard and co-author Dianne Neumark-Sztainer of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health is unusual in examining the experiences of boys.
Ackard said the state-administered survey didn't ask about the boys' dates.
"So we don't know if it's boys dating boys, boys dating men, or girls being more forceful," she said.
-The Associated Press
Their study also is significant for the large size of its sample - 81,247 kids.
The Minnesota group isn't perfectly representative of the United States in all its diversity, but the sample is big enough to allow for some generalizations for similar populations, Ackard said in an interview. She said previous studies she knew of had samples of between 2,000 and 5,000.

Project to unite communities
Lied Center and Haskell start Civic Dialogue Project to encourage communication in Lawrence
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Mia Ogden remembers hearing people making racist jokes about Native Americans. She is part Native American and said those comments angered her.
"It's just ignorance talking," the Council Grove freshman said. "They don't know what they are talking about. They should have a better understanding of the culture."
So Ogden said she was pleased to find out that the Lied Center and Haskell Indian Nations University had started the Civic Dialogue Project. The project is designed to encourage Native American and non-Native American communities in Lawrence to discuss issues of concern in the community, said Karen Lane Christilles, associate director of the Lied Center.
"At the Lied Center, part of our mission is to look at ways the performing arts and the community can interact with each other," Christilles said. "We looked at a project that dealt with issues that were difficult to talk about."
The project began last Saturday with Native Roots, a reggae band that played at Haskell. Haskell's Thunderbird Theatre and flutists R. Carlos Niaki and Paul Horn will be in residency at Haskell and the University of Kansas. Other events include a series of public forums on land use and Native-American issues.
"We'll be looking at many ways to engage artists with the
Christilles said a focus group came up with the idea of the Civic Dialogue Project.
community," Christilles said.
"There is a genuine interest to strengthen the ties there, to talk about things that might be of interest," she said.
Ogden said she thought the dialogue project was a good idea.
"Everyone needs to know more about different cultures." she said.
Dan Wildcat, professor of American studies at Haskell, said he saw the project as an active process of interaction with the larger Lawrence community.
"The benefit to Haskell is that the people begin to grasp Haskell's significance and history in a much broader context than the media reports on the South Lawrence Trafficway," Wildcat said.
The trafficway is a proposed state highway that would run through the Baker Wetlands, a project some Haskell groups
oppose because it would be built on lands considered sacred. The dialogue project was created because of that controversy, Christilles said.
"Lawrence will gain an awareness of a resource that remains largely untapped by the city and region as a whole," he said. "Everyone can win."
Wildcat said people would gain an appreciation and respect for the Native American culture and Haskell through the project.
The dialogue project was going to last a week, but then the planning committee, made up of Haskell and Lied Center members, decided to extend it for three years, Christilles said. Dialogue between Native Americans and non-Native Americans may continue beyond that, she said.
"It should be a way of life," Christilles said. "It's what we should be doing all the time."

Salvation Army recruiting student volunteers
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Lawrence's homeless community needs the help of KU students this winter, said Capt. Kirk Schuetz of the Salvation Army.
"There are times when volunteers are scarce," he said.
The Salvation Army will open its homeless shelter at 946 New Hampshire St. on Sept. 4, and Schuetz said he must fill his overnight staff, which has14 openings.
The shelter will be open from Sept. 4, 2001, until April 21, 2002.
It is opening earlier than normal this year because of community concern.
"We've had requests from the homeless advocates, mainly the Coalition for Homeless Concerns and the city neighborhood resource department, to open early," Schuetz said.
The Salvation Army needs volunteers to work from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. to prepare, serve and clean up after the evening meal. People can also volunteer at the noon meal, working from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Schuetz said he needed two or three people to help with each meal.
But more importantly, he is looking to fill the 14 overnight positions. The jobs require individuals to remain awake and watch over the shelter from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m. These individuals are paid $6.80 an hour. He said the job was ideal for students.
How students can help:
Donating nonperishable items.
Coaching or refereeing for the Salvation Army basketball league.
Sorting canned goods at the Salvation Army
Working in the warming center, which is open for half a day during the winter months.
"We have a lot of students that work because they get paid to do their homework," he said.
Boon Chew, Petaling Jaya Malaysia, senior, has volunteered with the homeless and said he would be interested in helping at the Salvation Army shelter.
Chew said he volunteered "because there's a need." He most often serves meals at Jubilee Cafe. a campus group that serves breakfast to the homeless twice a week.
The Salvation Army will eventually open a year-round shelter, but Schuetz said he didn't know when that would happen.
Those interested in volunteering can call the Salvation Army at 843-4188.

OPINION EDITOR'S NOTE
Advice to those who know it all
I have no advice for incoming freshmen.
Freshmen, take heart. You will not lack for guidance. From the looks of the opinion inbox, it appears that self-appointed mentors will be gracing these pages through at least mid-October. And who am I kidding? I would love to wax philosophical on the essentials of college and drinking for 600 words. But not today. My target audience today is already old and wise and jaded to advice columns, and at least 90 percent of them could drink me under the table.
could damage me for the veterans. I'll call it "What I Wished I Knew in the Fall of 2000" (the start of my first senior year).
I know you know how to drink. I know you know not to sign up for Friday classes. I know you know how to run this school better than it is being run.
So what could I possibly tell you that you don't already know? Well, it's about that last one. After a couple of years, most of the students here have interacted with at least one university department or student group enough to have an idea about what they could do better and how they could do it.
You should put those ideas right here. In this column. On this page.
1 anticipate two objections. 1. "The Kansan opinion page is for columns on abortion and taxes, not student groups." 2. "I'm not in the J-school."
1. I know that for your time at KU, the Kansan opinion page has often been the playground for the College Republicans and Young Democrats to debate national and international policy. Now, with the New York Times available for free in the Union, we're leaving national policy debate for the national newspapers. We cover KU better than anybody, so that is what we will focus on.
2. The Kansan represents the work of students in the journalism school. But this page is supposed to represent the opinions of the entire student body. We want non-journalism majors.
I signed up for editorial board on a whim last spring because I had done journalism in high school and because I have opinions. It turned out that the journalism experience was useless. All I needed were opinions and an interest in KU. That's all you need.
Brendan Woodbury is a senior in organisational biology and political science from Prairie Village. He is associate opinion editor.
I envision the editorial board developing into a biweekly meeting of the students from across campus discussing the issues that confront us and representing student opinion in a way that Student Senate never has. This semester is the very beginning of a move toward that vision, and I need your help to reach it.
This semester we hope to run a series on students' ideas of life on the hill in the year 2030. We hope to run columns and editorials on sorority recruitment, expansion into Oread neighborhood, the tailgating policy, the renovation of the Union and many other topics. We need knowledgable, interested students to debate and write these pieces, so come write for us if you've had experience with any of these issues. And if you haven't, well, I guess we could always use a few more freshmen advice columns.

PERSPECTIVE
Students should come out and support KU football
Toward the end of every summer, anticipation builds for college football ... tailgate parties, rivalries, upsets and school spirit. That is, unless you attend the University of Kansas.
The frenzy that surrounds college football elsewhere has somehow skipped Lawrence. Each week, while other schools celebrate game day like a religious holiday, KU fans count the days before basketball practice starts.
I was oblivious to how much fun college football could be until I ventured out to watch the 'Hawks on the road. There were thousands of the other team's fans tailgating and getting pumped up hours before kickoff. They brought couches, grills, stereos and their favorite beverages. My challenge to you is to create that frenzed atmosphere at Memorial Stadium.
Students can help turn KU football around. The support of exuberant fans can make the difference between winning and losing. A raucous crowd can induce delay of game and false start penalties and cause unwanted timeouts. In addition, the noise from the crowd reduces the opponent's ability to change a play at the line of scrimmage.
We can fire our team up and rattle the competition. Moreover, basketball and football recruits attend every football

game and the game atmosphere shapes their impression of our school.
So what can you do? First, you can start by creating the pre-game atmosphere for which college football is famous. If you live anywhere close to the stadium in a house or an apartment, you should be having pre-game parties. I can't imagine a student body that was ranked as a top 10 party school being incapable of throwing a good party before a football game. Second, wear a blue shirt. KU is the only school in the Big XII with blue as a school color. Every other school puts on their school colors for a few hours and so can we. Third, get into the stadium before the band comes out.

Finally, the students have to take the lead and create crowd noise on every down the opposition has the ball. Our alumni are notorious for sitting on their hands.

The air in Lawrence is different this year. We have almost an entirely new coaching staff stocked with proven winners.

Learned Hall to expand
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Construction of the $16 million expansion to Learned Hall may begin by the end of December at the earliest, said Carl Locke, dean of engineering.
The School of Engineering still needs about $4 million to fund the construction, which is the only thing slowing down the project, Locke said.
"We hoped to begin last year, but now that's pushed back," he said. "Things look favorable for an end-of-the-year groundbreaking."
CONTRIBUTED ART
In a joint effort with the Kansas University Endowment Association, the School of Engineering has raised about $12 million.
Unlike other renovations on campus, such as Joseph R. Pearson Hall or Murphy Hall, this new building will be financed completely privately, Locke said.
BAGUE DE COURTES AVRIL 1965
He said the School of Engineering decided to raise the money privately rather than wait for state funding.
Although it has taken awhile to raise the money, Locke said he did not regret the decision.
"We're ahead of where we would have been had we waited for state funds," he said.
Locke said actual construction of the new building would take about 18 months. The electrical engineering and computer science department will be

the primary occupant of the new space. The addition will contain a 230-seat classroom, computer labs, teaching labs and a more accessible dean's office.
Kenneth Demarest, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, said the department currently operated in both Learned and Snow halls. Department members also do reasearch in Nichols Hall.
"We're all over the place and we're tired of that," Demarest said.
Tyler Stone, Manhattan freshman, said having the entire engineering school in one place sounded like a good idea.
"It would be more convenient to have everything in one place, and less walking," he said.

Gayed said plans often mislead consumers into thinking they're buying more minutes than they actually receive.
"Look around. It took me several months to find a good deal," Miller said. "It's not worth the money. You can usually find a better deal."
"Be very careful," Gayed said. "Take someone with you when you go buy a cell phone. Read all of the information."
Jennifer Miller, Lawrence freshman, said students should be patient when shopping for service plans.
Consumer Reports also recommended that consumers have a trial period written into their service plan before they commit to it.
Williams said that students shouldn't be afraid to ask questions. She brought a list of questions to ask the sales associate and has called him twice since buying the phone.
Williams said her trial period would last three months. She can switch plans or cancel the service within that time if she's not satisfied.
"I just asked every question you could think of," Williams said.

Missing student returns safely to U.S. after visit to Africa
Mother of Yale student says State Department should have done more
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—A Yale University student missing for more than three weeks in South Africa, where she was studying on a Fulbright grant, returned to the United States yesterday.
Natasha Smalls, 20, told her parents on July 26 that she had been released from a psychiatric hospital in Zimbabwe where she had been injected with medication.
She also told her parents that she had been assaulted in March. Smalls had been studying at the University of Natal in Durban, South Africa.
Glory and Robert Smalls had made arrangements for their daughter to return on Aug.1 to New York, where they live, but she never arrived.
They criticized the State Department for not doing more to help.
"I felt that if I was white, they would have reached out more,"
Glory Smalls said at a news conference at Kennedy Airport. The Smalls are black. Natasha Smalls was kept in a separate room from reporters before being taken to an undisclosed hospital.
State Department spokeswoman Michelle King said that both the South African and Zimbabwe consulates were notified of the disappearance and cooperated in the search.
"Of course, we're very happy that she has returned safely," King said, not responding directly to Glory Smalls' claim that race was an issue.
The parents also claimed that Yale officials were slow in coming to their aid.
A Yale spokesman, Tom Conroy, said the State Department already was trying to find Smalls when the school contacted the agency after learning of her disappearance on Aug. 8.
"We immediately contacted the State Department, knowing that the State Department would have the expertise to try to locate her in South Africa," Conroy said. "We cooperated with the State Department from then on."
"We immediately contacted the State Department, knowing that the State Department would have the expertise to try to locate her in South Africa"
In addition, Yale officials met

with Smalls' mother and with Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, who helped the Smalls locate their daughter, Conroy said.
Two Yale employees who were in South Africa on unrelated business also helped, Conroy said, without saying how they assisted.
"I'm just glad that my daughter's here," Glory Smalls said. "I thank God that my daughter's here. People just don't know what I've been through for the last month. It was like a living hell."
BOGOTA, Colombia — A U.S.-backed program for aerially eradicating drug crops has failed, a front-running Colombian presidential candidate said yesterday, just days before the Bush administration's first high-level visit.
The Associated Press
Colombian cocaine battles failing
Elsewhere yesterday, the army announced that U.S. trained counterdrug troops seized a jungle refinery where leftist guerrillas were allegedly making gasoline used to process cocaine. It was the first such report of a rebel refinery.
"Today there is more cocaine being produced, more trafficking, more traffickers and larger areas under cultivation," Horacio Serpa, a former interior minister who is leading polls ahead of May's elections, wrote in an editorial in Bogota's Cambio news magazine.
"New and alternative formulas are needed along with a recognition that the [counterdrug] policies applied to date have been a failure," wrote Serpa, a member of the opposition Liberal Party.
The spraying of cocaine- and heroin-producing crops and U.S. troop training are part of a $1.3 billion drug-fighting pro
gram approved under the Clinton administration. That program is reportedly undergoing a review.
Top State Department, White House and Pentagon officials are scheduled to arrive Wednesday to discuss future U.S. support for the drug war with President Andres Pastrana's administration.
Secretary of State Colin Powell is also considering a stop in Bogota next month, officials have said.
The visits come as U.S. policy in the world's leading cocaine-producing nation is being questioned from many angles.
Environmentalists said the spraying was toxic and pushed desperate farmers to cut down more virgin Amazon forest.
Peasant farmers said the spraying was killing food crops as well as coca and opium poppies — and making their families ill.
U. S. officials insisted the spraying was safe and that only large-scale coca plantations run by drug traffickers were targeted. They stressed that Washington was also providing cash assistance to small farmers who agreed to voluntarily eradicate their drug plots.
But in his column, Serpa claimed there had been "indiscriminate fumigation" of peasant drug plots, and that accords with small farmers were not working. He called for an "urgent evaluation" of the strategy.
He said Colombia should renegotiate its counterdrug aid from Washington while continuing only to spray large-scale coca plantations following environmental impact studies and with international auditing.
Some voices in Washington were reportedly urging the Bush administration to turn U.S. aid — currently earmarked for counterdrug operations alone — against the country's guerrillas. Critics worried that could draw the United States directly into Colombia's brutal 37-year civil conflict.
Underscoring the rebel links to the drug trade, the army said the refinery seized by its troops near the town of Puerto Asis was an abandoned government installation capable of making 2,000 gallons of gasoline a day for cocaine processing. Coca farmers use gasoline and other chemicals to convert coca leaves into semi-processed cocaine.

Kansas football could use more than beer

LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Football season is upon us and the age-old question asked by faculty and students alike is once again heard throughout the campus: How can we get as much support for the football team as we do for the basketball team?
KANSAS
2
It's a question that's lingered with the Athletics Department and alumni even longer than it's bothered Terry Allen. The fact is, Memorial Stadium does hold 33,950 more people than Allen Fieldhouse. Also, don't overlook the strength of the Big XII in the football conference compared to basketball.
Now, forget all the facts. Anybody who has lived in Lawrence for any time at all knows that Kansas is a "basketball school" with support for basket-ball, and that's just how it is.
New Kansas athletics director Allen Bohl is ready to remedy that. Right away, he's making progress. With Bohl's recommendation that the University allow alcohol during tailgating. Memorial Stadium parking lot is well on its way to joining bars such as the Wheel and the Crossing as Jayhawk fans' pregame party spot.
Allowing alcohol in is a great start, but that's all it really is — a start. More has to be done. As I see it, promotions and advertising is the name of the game. That is what needs to be done to assure that the stadium is selling standing-room-only tickets.
Driving down Interstate 70, I've noticed the huge billboards. It's a good start, but it's not enough — your future game attendees need to feel like they know your players. They need to recognize your players. They need to feel comfortable cheering on your players.
Here are just a few promotional suggestions that I think would have scalpers in the parking lot marking ticket prices up three times the face value.
We all know that the football team hasn't kept the cleanest reputation around town, and I think it's about time we change that. I was thinking bake sales.
We'll set up stands at grocery stores around town, call in a few moms to help cook, put tackles Nate Dwyer and Justin Hartwig in white aprons and we're set. This should really help clean up that image. Besides, it's a good way to get the boys out in the community and let the neighbors see their pearly whites.
Here's another idea: I was thinking about a talent show. We all know that these boys can play football, but maybe the general public would like to see a display of their off-the-field talents. Have a few playing the guitar — maybe some wannabe rappers. Then running back Reggie Duncan can end the evening with an encouraging poem-reading to lead to an exciting and winning weekend of football.
One more idea — it might be a little hard to pull off, but I think if we work together we can do it. See. I think the quarterback challenge has been played out. Let's send Zach Dyer and Mario Kinsey to MTV's Dismissed. It's only fair. We'll get nationwide coverage and the two can use this airtime to show their leadership skills as they try to win over one lucky lady. We'll also be able to see how they handle pressure situations. We'll be able to tell how well they communicate in the huddle based on when they use their time-out cards.
I don't want to jump the gun, but my prediction is: "Mario, it's been great, really it has, but you are dismissed."
If Bohl takes my suggestions, I would even let him take credit for them. But if the MTV gig works out, I hope he doesn't forget the little people.

Volleyball team braces for season
Kansas women adjust to game with new NCAA rally scoring rules
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
Alumni were kept off the court, but the Kansas women's volleyball team gave fans a taste of what's to come in a fast-paced scrimmage on Saturday.
Jennifer Kraft, junior defensive specialist, contributed five service aces and 10 digs, and Abbie Jacobson, sophomore outside hitter, collected 16 kills during the intra-squad scrimmage at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The scrimmage marked the beginning of the team's semester-long season.
The competition helped the team prepare for next weekend's tournament in Charlotte, N.C.
The annual event traditionally takes place between an alumni squad and the current squad. However, NCAA scheduling regulations prohibit anything other than an inter-squad match within one week of a team's first scheduled match. The Charlotte tournament begins at 11 a.m. Friday.
Senior setter Molly LaMere had a productive evening with two kills, three digs. one block and one service ace.
Freshman middle blocker Ashley Michaels added one solo block and three block assists.
Rally scoring allows teams to score on both offense and defense. To compensate, the games now go to 30 points rather than 15.The goal of rally scoring is to make volleyball matches more fanfriendly.
The scrimmage was the women's first taste of competition under the new rally scoring rules implemented this year by the NCAA.
"It's a lot different," LaMere said. "You have to be smarter, make better choices and play almost error-free game. We will just have to adapt."
Coach Ray Bechard agreed.
He said the rule changes accommodate the teams's current style of play.
"At times it will help. We're a steady pass-and-serve team," he said.
Beachard said he hadn't yet decided on an official starting squad. LaMere, a virtual lock at starting setter, will most likely be surrounded by a revolving group of players.
dle blocker Molly Scavuzzo, junior defensive specialist Jamie Morningstar, sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome, sophomore middle blocker Jordan Garrison, freshman defensive specialist Jill Dorsey and freshman outside hitter Danielle McHenry.

Six seniors planning on recruitment visits soon
Two others drop Hawks from their visit list, recruiters snag players early
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
By looking at this year's roster for the Kansas basketball team, it's evident where the Jayhawks lack depth. With only four players at either the power forward or center position, and the possibility of two or three players leaving because of graduation or early entry into the NBA draft after the season, coach Roy Williams has recruited accordingly.
Six high school seniors have lined up fall recruiting visits to Lawrence, five of whom are big men. The number of prospects in the 2002 class dwindled as more high school players committed to schools early.
"Coaches are offering earlier, and in a sense it's a domino effect," said national recruiting analyst Mike Sullivan. "I think the pressure of recruiting has become more intense, and kids are actually taking more visits earlier."
But early doesn't mean easy as Kansas' biggest target may be its most difficult to sign. Shavlik Randolph, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Raleigh, N.C., has not only flirted with jumping straight to the NBA, but has also declared that he would like to attend school close to home. Randolph will come to Lawrence within the next two weeks but he said North Carolina, Duke and North Carolina State would all remain on his list of schools.
Bernard Cote, a 6-9 forward/center from Ontario, Canada, will visit Kansas the weekend of Sept. 8.

Ex-NFL coach tackles Kansas defensive team
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
Assistant coach Tom Hayes looked at ease talking football with reporters while sitting in for an absent Terry Allen at Thursday's press conference.
With a résumé like his, it's no wonder.
Hayes comes to Kansas fresh off of a sixyear stint in the National Football League as the defensive secondary coach of the Washington Redskins. While there, Hayes worked with three Pro Bowl selections in Darrell Green, Cris Dishman and Champ Bailey, as well as Deion Sanders.
13
Prior to his job with Washington, Hayes was an assistant at national powers Oklahoma (1991-94), Texas A&M (1989-90) and UCLA (1980-88).
"It's no different here than anywhere else I've been. I don't see any abnormalities at all," said Hayes, who will carry several titles at Kansas, including defensive coordinator, secondary coach and assistant head coach.
After a career in football, Hayes understands what goes into a winning program. He said he saw those signs at Kansas.
Offense coach a man with a plan

Rip Scherer, quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator, works with Zach Dyer during practice on Friday at Memorial Stadium. Scherer, from Memphis, joined the Jayhawks' coaching staff in June.
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
Rip Scherer came to Lawrence in June with a plan.
the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach wanted to enliven the Jayhawk offense and enter a shotgun formation on first downs.
He wanted to keep opposing defenses off balance and enter a no-huddle offense.
He wanted to attack with the pass, gain yards with the run, score points in bunches and enter the new offensive scheme -to create a balance rich in efficiency.
Playing a schedule ranked as high as the fifth most difficult in college football, Kansas hired Scherer to spark the offense. It was his job to have the players buy into the new system.
So far, the plan has worked.
"With coach Scherer being in the press box come game time, he's making a lot of decisions upstairs from what he's seeing," quarterback Mario Kinsey said. "If he sees something that he doesn't like, coach Scherer will make the adjustment. I feel the new offense is going to help so much. We're setting the pace of the game."
Last season, the Kansas offense averaged 23.7 points a game — the
eighth best in the Big 12. They also ranked 77th in the country in yards per game.
To be competitive, Scherer said, Kansas must move the ball down the field. He said he wanted his offense to churn out yards so the Jayhawk defense would take the field fresh and rested. He also said that a consistent offense was key. With most of the personnel intact, he said, now the offense must perform.
"We're going to have an opportunity to spread the ball around," Scherer said.
Like coach Terry Allen, Scherer wouldn't say who he preferred to quarterback the team. However, he said Kinsey and Zach Dyer brought both life and skill to the position. Scherer said he would treat each one as the No.1 candidate until the job was won.

Green Bay's Brown returns
The Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. — After trimming down this winter with Kansas strength and conditioning coach Fred Roll, the Green Bay Packers' nose tackle Gilbert Brown isn't nearly the man he once was.
Yet, if his preseason debut is any indication, he could end up every bit the run-stuffing force he used to be for the Green Bay Packers.
Brown ate his way out of the NFL last season, ballooning to 400 pounds before trimming down to 335 and attempting a comeback this season. He was sidelined much of training camp with a bum knee, but returned to practice last week and had five tackles against Miami on Saturday night.
He delighted the crowd by bringing back his "grave digger" celebration following a tackle of Dolphins running back Autry Denson, his first since Jan. 2, 2000.
"It ites great," Brown said. "Every time I get out there and to play with my friends,
Brown had four solo tackles in the Packers' 17-12 preseason victory, and although coach Mike Sherman wasn't ready to bestow starting status on Brown just yet, his teammates were thrilled with his return to the lineup.
do what I do and dig graves, that's all I like to do. I just had fun today."
After losing 65 pounds and improving his cardiovascular condition, Brown was resigned by the Packers on March 23, and declared: "Don't judge me for what I did before, judge me now."
Brown effectively controlled the line of scrimage Saturday night along with Russell Maryland, who also was impressive shoring up the defense after missing the first two exhibitions with soreness in his lower back.
"Our linebackers love those guys," said defensive end Vonnie Holliday. "They should pay them part of their check, because they sacrifice their bodies to keep the linemen off them."
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Twins soundly sweep KC
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An invigorating weekend in Kansas City may have been the perfect tonic for the slumping Minnesota Twins.
Brad Radke won for the first time in five decisions, pitching seven innings of a three-hit ballgame in a 7-2 victory yesterday that gave the Twins a three-game sweep and a much-needed boost in morale.
"We were down. This game's all about momentum and confidence," said Radke (11-8). "Once you start winning a few games here and there and get on a roll, it keeps clicking."
The Twins, who were 57-33 and five games up on Cleveland in the AL Central right after the All-Star break, had lost 29 of 38 and fallen into second place when they hit town on Friday.
It was the sixth straight home loss for the Rowlals.
The Twins took the lead in a five-run fifth
inning, in which they had four walks and five stolen bases.
Royals' pitcher Blake Stein (5-7) allowed two hits through four scoreless innings before walking David Ortiz to start the fifth. Stein gave up five runs on six hits and four walks in 4-2-3 innings. He had six strikeouts.
Koskie hit a two-run single and Guzman, Hunter and A.J. Pierzynski also had RBI singles.
But before the inning was over, Ortiz, Luis Rivas, Cristian Guzman, Corey Koskie and Torii Hunter all stole bases.
Mark Quinn was hit by a pitch and eventually scored on Dave McCarty's sacrifice fly in the fifth, and Carlos Beltran had an RBI single for the Royals in the sixth.
It was the final game of the 10-game suspension Mike Sweeney had to serve after triggering a brawl in a game against Detroit.
Without their All-Star first baseman, the Rovals were 2-8.
NFL
Broncos revel in new stadium
The Associated Press
DENVER — Wide-eyed and appreciative, the Denver Broncos acted like kids at Christmas in the inaugural game at their new stadium.
The Broncos, who kicked off Invesco Field at Mile High with a 31-24 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints on Saturday night, couldn't stop gushing about their new digs.
"It's awfully nice," wide receiver Ed McCafrey said in the spacious locker room after the game. "Look at all the room.
"I still feel like we're visiting a little bit here. There's too many nice things. But I think we'll get used to it."
Quarterback Brian Griese, who threw three touchdown passes, said, "The stadium was awesome, the fans were great. It was a prime setting for a football game."
The plush, $400 million facility replaces Mile High Stadium, which sits rusting nearby and will be torn down after this season to make way for additional parking for the new stadium.
Broncos coaches and players complained about the condition of the natural-grass field at the old stadium in recent years, but they all raved about the new surface.
The sand-based field uses natural grass that is stabilized by a network of polypropylene fibers that have been woven into the sod. Beneath the surface is a heating and drainage system.
Running back Terrell Davis, seeing his first action since Nov. 13, called the new surface "much better than the previous field. It's a lot softer and it doesn't come up as easy."
Coach Mike Shanahan said Invesco "kind of reminded me of being in Mile High, except it seemed like the fans were a little bit closer to the field and it was a little bit louder. It's a great feeling to have that type of enthusiasm in this type of facility. It's really great not only for the town, but obviously for our organization as well."
COLLEGE FOOTBALL Sooners show strength in early season victory
NORMAN, Okla. — Linebacker Rocky Calmus and the rest of third-ranked Oklahoma defense looked in championship form Saturday night, coming up with five first-half turnovers in a 41-27 victory over North Carolina.
The defending national champion Sooners blitzed North Carolina and new coach John Bunting with a 31-point first quarter and ran the nation's best winning streak to 14 games.
Nate Hybl stuck to short passes most of the night and wound up 20-of-29 for 152 yards. He gave up an interception for a touchdown, but it came with the Sooners already in control.
Calmus, an All-American last season, recovered a fumble on the second play of the game to set up the first of two short field goals by Tim Duncan.
Nebraska's quarterback new leader in total yards
Nebraska improved to 5-0 in preseason "classics."
LINCOLN, Neb. — Eric Crouch became Nebraska's career leader for total yards and Thunder Collins scored twice in his first start as the No. 4 Cornhusks beat TCU in the Piskin Classic.
TCU had the ball in Nebraska territory only once in the second half and finished with just 186 yards, 65 after halftime.
Crouch completed 10 of 18 passes for 151 yards and ran 24 times for 69 yards. The 5,510 yards for his career surpassed Tommie Frazier's school-record 5,476. Collins, starting for the suspended
Dahrran Diedrick, ran 14 times for 71 yards. The Horned Frogs opened their first season under coach Gary Patterson.
NAIA FOOTBALL Peru St.beats Baker in Wheat Bowl finish
ELLINWOOD, Kan. — Tom Aldana threw for two touchdowns, including a 21-yard pass in overtime, as Peru St. beat Baker 21-14 in the NAIA Wheat Bowl Saturday night.
The Bobcats trailed 14-0 at halftime after the Wildcats converted two turnovers into touchdowns. But Peru St. forced overtime with touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters.
Aldana threw the game-winning 21-yard TD pass to Justin Bartling in overtime, and Austin Arnold kicked the extra point.
Chaney Smith scored in the third quarter with a short run after the Bobcats brought the ball to the 2-yard line on a 14-play, 65- yard drive to open the half.
With 9:09 left in the game, Aldana threw a 2-yard TD pass to Joe Pynon, and Arnold tied the score at 14 with the extra point.
Wildcats' quarterback Martin Updike threw one TD pass. After recovering a fumble at the 31-yard with 7:51 left in the first quarter, Updike threw to tight end Ryan Costello, who scored. Brian Williams kicked the extra point.
Baker's other touchdown came with 3:13 left in the first half, when Martin Triplett intercepted an Aldana pass and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown. Michael Brennan kicked the extra point.

Soccer team hits the mark

A Busch Soccer Club player bounds over Kansas sophomore defender Lacey Woolf Saturday at Super Target Field. The Jayhawks won the scrimmage 4-1. Kansas opens its regular season at 4p.m. Friday, when they host North Texas.
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
An offensive surge late in the first half propelled the Kansas soccer team to a 4-1 victory over the Busch Soccer Club Saturday at Super Target Field.
The Hawks will begin their regular season play on Friday when they play North Texas at home.
The win ends the Jayhawks' exhibition season with a 2-0 record, including a 5-1 victory over Southwest Missouri State on August 19.
"We started out very slow," coach Mark Francis said. "We made some substitutions, and I think that was key because the people that came in, especially [Natalie] Hoogveld and [Monica] Brothers up front, they made a lot of things happen."
Within one minute of being substituted in, Brothers scored on a sliding kick past the Busch goalkeeper, Kati Jo Spisak. Hoogveld provided the assist in the 35th minute to give the Jayhawks a 1-0 lead.
Just three minutes later, Brothers again scored on an assist by Hoogveld, which gave the Jayhawks a 2-0 advantage.
"I was just in the right place at the right time," Brothers said. "Hoops [Hoogveld] had two awesome crosses, and I was just there and got my foot in."
Brothers, a freshman forward, has scored three goals in the Jayhawks' two exhibition matches.
Francis said Brothers was a tough competitor.
"She works very hard when she's in there," he said. "You've got to have players like that, and Monica is definitely one of those players."
A minute after Brothers' second goal, senior forward Hilla Rantala notched up another score for the Jayhawks, the third in four minutes, and put the Jayhawks ahead 3-0.
Nicole Ilg scored the only goal for Busch, an 18-and-under traveling team, in the 40th minute of play.
In the second half, Rantala added her second goal off of a rebound in the 66th minute.
The game was hustled along early by sophomore midfielder Maggie Mason.
On a breakaway in the seventh
minute, Busch forward Jenny Nobis got around goalkeeper Sarah Gonzalez, but Mason made a goal-saving defensive block as she crashed into the goal post.
"She worked very hard to get back, and sacrificed to stop the ball from going in the net," Francis said.
Despite the Jayhawks' two exhibition victories by a combined score of 9-2, Francis said he wasn't sure his team was ready to face off against North Texas at the moment.
"We will be next Friday, though," Francis said. "There's some things we need to work on, but that's what practice is for."

Facility to begin a 'new era' in Kansas athletics donor says
By Randy Richardson Kansan sportswriter
The construction of a new weight training facility will mark the beginning of Kansas athletics director Allen Bohl's tenure, and a new era of Kansas athletics, donor Dana Anderson said Friday.
Anderson, a California real estate investor, gave $4 million to build the Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning Center next to Anschutz Sports Pavilion. He announced the donation at a press conference Friday in the Wagnon Student Athlete Center. The Endowment Association is searching for donors for the other $4.5 million needed to finish the project.
Anderson said the center's construction would mark the end of former Kansas athletics director Bob Frederick's 14-year tenure and the beginning of Bohl's.
Frederick resigned June 30.
"We wanted to give a positive send-off to Bob Frederick and do something to welcome Al Bohl aboard." Anderson said. "The strength and conditioning center serves everyone in athletics — women's sports, Olympic sports, golf — sports beyond basketball and football."
The center, expected to open next fall, will replace the Shaffer-Holland Strength Center, which is the smallest workout facility in the Big 12 Conference. The existing center is 6,000 square feet and was built in 1983.
The new center will cost about $8.5 million to build. It will be two stories high and have 25,000 square feet of space. The center will feature weight training equipment and a cardiovascular workout area.
Men's basketball coach Roy Williams, football coach Terry Allen and softball coach Traci Bingham each said that the new facility would help recruiting, especially when prospective athletes visiting KU would see they could work out in a modern facility.
Williams said the ShafferHolland center was not comparable with top-notch facilities he had seen.
"We've been way behind," Williams said. "I've seen a couple of the state-of-the-art weight facilities around the country. What we have now is nowhere near to what other people have. Hopefully this will put us in that ballpark where we won't have to take a back seat to anyone."
Football co-captain Nate Dwyer and softball player Amy Hulse said they were very thankful to the Anderson family for their donation to the new center.
Bohl said he hoped the new center would boost the morale of all student athletes.
"This is a great thing that's happening here. We have a lot of fundraising we're going to have to do. This is just the beginning. We thank the Andersons for being the flagship to get it started," he said.

Recruit: A busy summer
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
If signed, Cote would have the experience of a junior college transfer with the ability to stay for the full four years of eligibility. The high school and university system is different in Ontario, and Cote has attended a Quebec prep school and would be 20 years old as a freshman.
Cote's prep school coach, John Dangelas, told Jon Kirby of alliancesports.com that Cote was impressed with the Kansas program.
"We have a good feeling about Kansas," Dangelas said. "I'm happy with the way we've been treated by coach Dougherty and coach Williams. They have been very fair and honest about everything. Bernard wouldn't take an official visit unless he was serious about a school. I think Kansas and coach Williams speak for
themselfs along with the type of kids in their program."
The three other big men scheduled to visit Kansas in the fall are Jeff Graves, a 6-8 forward from Iowa Western Community College; Brad Buckman, a 6-8 forward from Austin, Texas; and Kevin Bookout, a 6-8 forward/center from Stroud, Okla.
The only guard scheduled to visit Kansas so far is Hassan Adams. Adams, a 6-4 shooting guard from Los Angeles, will visit Lawrence on Sept. 8, the same weekend that his home-town UCLA Bruins battle the Kansas football team at Memorial Stadium.
The summer is the busiest time for recruiting, and Williams said this summer was no different. With many of the nation's best high school players participating in all-star camps and AAU tournaments, Williams traveled across the country frequently.
"It's been a good summer, but a busy one," Williams said. "It's hard sometimes for people to understand that the summer is about the busiest time of the year. During the season, I go to practices or games and then I go home, but in the summer — particularly July. August and September — it's very difficult because of all the travel with recruiting."
In other recruiting news, Chris Booker, a 6-9 forward from Tyler (Texas) Junior College, has dropped Kansas from his list of possible schools. Kansas was once considered the front-runner on Booker's list, but Booker told alliancesports.com that he had narrowed his choices to Purdue, Texas Tech, Washington State and Louisville.

"I've seen guys who work hard in the off-season, spring practice and have carried it over into practice. As long as we do that, we've got a chance," Hayes said.
Defense: Facing the future
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Hayes, 52, will take over a unit that ranked ninth in the Big 12 Conference in total defense, surredering just more than 400 yards per game. The defense was susceptible against the pass, as it surrendered a conference-high
Hayes knows little about Kansas' performance last year. From his attitude, it's clear he doesn't care.
57. 9 completion percentage.
His concern lies in the future, particularly the next 11 games.
Hayes has drawn the blueprints, it's now up to the players to produce results.
Nate Dwyer, a team captain and second team All-Conference selection last year, said the addition of Hayes was already paying dividends.
"Practices have been so different this year," Dwyer said. "We're being worked a lot harder, and we know the coaches know what they're talking about."
Hayes said the ingredients were in place to win football gmaes in Lawrence.

Offense: Grasping changes quickly
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"They both give us a lot of the same things," he said. "If we didn't think that they both could win, then there would not be an issue. They're both getting along well in the new offense."
Scherer said that the whole offensive unit, not just his top
quarterbacks, was thriving. With so many changes made since the beginning of two-a-day practices, he feared his new players would take time to grasp the nuances of the new style. Scherer said he was delighted by how far the offense had come.
"It has shocked me, to be honest with you," he said. "We probably had anticipated chaos early, but it went so smooth. We are still further along than I thought we would be. We got there a lot quicker."

Stewart forgets feud, races past Gordon for victory at Sharpie 500
The Associated Press
BRISTOL, Tenn. — The situation had the potential for disaster: Jeff Gordon leading lap after lap around the tight turns of Bristol with Tony Stewart right on his bumper.
The two clashed in this very place just a few months before, and the slightest tap from Stewart could have sent his rival into the wall and been the sweetest redemption.
Instead, Stewart slipped right past Gordon and drove off to victory in Saturday night's Sharpie 500 — proving he can forgive and forget.
"There are 43 professional guys that start the race every week and you're not going to get along with all of them 100 percent of the time," Stewart said. "Bristol in the spring was Bristol in the spring, this is the fall race. It's a whole day."
Still, it's doubtful retaliation was far from Stewart's mind as he followed Gordon around and around Bristol Motor Speedway.
He was running fourth in the final turn of that race when Gordon, charging hard behind him as the two headed to the finish line, sent him into a spin as he tried to pass him. Stewart's car went shooting up the high banking, missing the wall by mere inches.
By the time Stewart refired his car and made it back to the line, he had fallen 21 spots behind and finished 25th. Incensed, he stalked Gordon around the track, catching him on pit road and bumping him out of his way.
The action drew a $10,000 fine and landed Stewart on probation — which should have ended this month had it not been extended
for the rest of the year after an outburst at Daytona in July.
Because of how lightly Stewart must tread these days, Gordon never worried about possible revenge.
"Why would I worry?" Gordon said before the race. "He's on probation."
In the end, it was Stewart's desire to win on his favorite track that took priority.
For a long while, it didn't look like Stewart would be able to chase down Gordon or continuously avoid the race-record 16 cautions.
Every time Stewart chipped into Gordon's lead, his work was erased by yet another yellow flag. Gordon was far superior on the restarts, but lacked the car to hold off Stewart on long runs.
When Stewart finally caught a break with 30 uninterrupted laps, he passed Gordon with a sweeping slide that started on the bottom of the track in turn 2 and finished in turn 4 on lap 432.
"When Tony got to me I knew it was just a matter of time," Gordon said.
Stewart needed only to hold off rookie Kevin Harwick for his third victory of the season.
"It's just awesome to win at Bristol, it's so hard to do," Stewart said. "So many things happen and there are so many things that can go wrong and I'm just glad we were able to do it."
Although Stewart came into the race with 11 career victories, none of them were at Bristol Motor Speedway — a track he liked before he even drove stock cars and fell in love with the minute he saw it.
"The first time I came in here I was amazed, we came through that gate and got down into the infield, I looked up and never saw a sight like what I saw that day." Stewart said. "Anytime anybody
has ever asked me what my favorite track was, I always say Bristol."
That's a strong statement from the Indiana native, who has gone to great lengths in an attempt to fulfill his childhood dream of winning the Indianapolis 500. He never has, notching a career-best finish of sixth in May.
If winning there would be his greatest triumph, winning at Bristol was his most satisfying victory.
"Having the opportunity to drink the milk in victory lane (at Indy) is something I dearly hope I have an opportunity to do before I quit driving race cars," he said. "This is just one of those places where the style of racing is what I eniow.
"That's what probably makes it so satisfying to win here — the way you have to be aggressive and you have to at the same time be patient and stay out of all the wrecks all day and work lapped

'American Pie 2' still in top spot
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES —American Pie 2 continues to out-gross all challengers. Amid a weak field of new films, the gross-out comedy remained the top movie for a third straight weekend.
Taking in $12.8 million over the weekend, American Pie 2 pushed its total take to $109.6 million in 17 days, according to studio estimates yesterday. *Rush Hour 2* remained the No. 2 film with $11.4 million, raising its 24-day total to $183.3 million.
Among a rush of new movies, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back drew the biggest audience. The comedy from writer-director Kevin Smith was No. 3 with $11.1 million.
The baseball flick Summer Catch, starring Freddie Prinze Jr., is in sixth place with $7.5 million. The sci-fi thriller John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars opened weakly with $3.8 million to finish at No. 9.
Woody Allen's The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, playing in far fewer theaters than the other new
films, had a so-de foob of $2.5 million to come in at No.11.
Hollywood is in the midst of its typical late-summer doldrums, when movie-going trails off.
*Bubble Boy*, a comedy about a youth with a deficient immune system, did not even break into the top 12, opening with just $2 million.
"It feels like summer is over," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations, which tracks the box office.
The industry is creeping toward its all-time summer revenue high of $3 billion set in 1999, a record Hollywood should break by next weekend.
While it was a slow weekend compared to most of this summer, the overall box office still rose compared to the same weekend last year. The top 12 movies grossed $82.5 million, up about 10 percent.
Jay and Silent Bob drew the steadiest crowds among new films, averaging $4,014 a theater in 2,765 locations. The movie stars Jason Mewes and Smith as
the title characters, who were supporting players in his previous four movies, including Dogma and Chasing Amy.
The movie drew heavily on Smith's cult following, but distributor Miramax hopes it will find a broader audience.
Playing in 2,335 theaters,
Summer Catch averaged $3,227.
The comedy played mainly to
Prinze's core audience of women
under 25, said Dan Fellman,
head of distribution for Warner
Bros., which released the movie.
Curse of the Jade Scorpion, a comedy starring Allen and Helen Hunt, averaged $2,769 in 903 theaters. The movie was a step back from last year's Small Time Crooks, which averaged a healthy $4,486 a theater and became Allen's biggest box-office success in years.
Ghosts of Mars averaged just $1,855 in 2,048 theaters. Bubble Boy did even worse, averaging $1,246 in 1,605 theaters.

Fuel increase in Lawrence causes worry about wallets
High fuel prices force some KU students to budget for a full tank, or worse walk
or worse — walk
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
The recent rise in gas prices are leaving some KU students frustrated.
Julie Balderas, Wichita senior, said she hoped the increase would end soon.
She said she drove a Honda Accord to campus that
She said she drew to campus that she shared with her sister.
"The prices are outrageous," Balderas said. "We share the price of gas, so that's kind of good."
Gas prices rose more than six cents a gallon nationwide in the past couple of weeks.

with the Midwest taking the hardest hit.
The average price of gas is $1.51 nationwide. In Lawrence, the lowest gas price is $1.52 at Site, 946 E. 23rd St.
The increase was because of a shutdown of refineries for repairs and maintenance, according to the Associated Press.
Despite the increase, Balderas said other transportation alternatives were out of the question.
"I live too far away to ride a bike, and I am not on the bus route," she said.
George Schulz, Tulsa, Okla., junior, said he drove a Ford Ranger but walked or rode a bike as much as could.
He said gas prices played a part in that decision because it cost him about $30 to fill his tank.
But it could be worse, Schulz said, and he blamed the media for consumer's worries.
"I don't blame consumers in general who complain about higher prices," he said. "But the consumer worries about what the media tells them to worry about. As long as prices go up, consumers will seek alternatives that are cheaper and more efficient."
He said people should examine who was impacted most by rising prices.
"Who pays the bigger price — consumers who pay 20 to 30 cents extra, or the permanent scars from massive exploration of the environment?" Schulz said.
scribbles Kimberly Hull, an Olathe sophomore who drives a Ford Escort, said the price fluctuations were frustrating.
"It's incredibly outrageous," Hull said. "It's hard to budget with rent costs and filling up my gas tank."
She said she didn't understand why gas prices had risen so much in the past few weeks.
"I remember when it was 75 cents a gallon a couple of years ago," Hull said. "To me, (the increase) is scary."

Tailgating's fate remains in air
Hemenway might decide this week if beer will be allowed in parking lot
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
The issue of allowing fans to drink alcohol while tailgating at KU football games could be decided this week.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who has yet to decide whether to allow alcohol outside Memorial Stadium for tailgating, said he hoped to make an announcement this week.
"What we're doing is looking at all the arguments, pros and cons," Hemenway said. "I am hoping we can fully explore the issue."
Hemenway said he wanted to talk to other campus administrative offices, such as the Athletics Department, before making a decision.
"We would have to have some tight restrictions," he said.
Hemenway said he had looked at other universities' policies on tailgating.
Allen Bohl, who was hired as athletics director this summer, proposed allowing fans to drink alcohol while tailgating outside Memorial Stadium to help raise interest in football games. Currently, alcohol is only allowed inside the stadium in the scholarship boxes.
The University of Missouri decided to allow alcohol for pregame tailgating two years ago. Maj. Jack Watring, associate director of Missouri's campus police department, said there were no more fights or incidents of rowdy fan behavior than when alcohol was not allowed.
Missouri also uses the state highway patrol and offices from Boone County Sheriff's Department to help with crowd control, and it posts game patrols around the stadium to catch drunk drivers
Watring said the combined security forces usually arrested one or two drivers for driving drunk in the two-hour period following the game. Missouri police officers also strictly enforce the rule of not allowing alcohol into the stadium
To prevent drunken fans from driving, the University of Nebraska, which allows alcohol at tailgates, has begun a

campaign against drunk driving. Owen Yardley, chief of the university's police department, said the department and other state agencies mailed brochures to booster clubs and season ticket holders.
Police officers at Nebraska will pass out miniature footballs after games this year that feature slogans against drunk driving, and they will give 10 cases of Pepsi products at each game to tailgaters who aren't consuming alcohol.
Felicia Orozco, Kanopolis senior, said she didn't have football tickets. But if tailgating were allowed, she said she might be more likely to attend the football games.
TO BEER OR NOT TO BEER
What happened; Allen Bohi athletics director, proposed allowing alcohol outside Memorial Stadium while fans were tailgating.
What's next: Chancellor Robert Hemenway, said he would probably make an announcement this week about whether alcohol would be allowed while tailgating.
"Once I'd get around that, I'd kind of get in the school spirit," Orozco said.
She said, however, that drinking and driving after the game would be a concern if people were allowed to tailgate.
"I don't see anything wrong with tailgating if people don't abuse the fact that they can drink there," she said.

Monica Pacziga wasted no time with English as she faced the students in her elementary Hungarian class.
Pacziga, Budapest, Hungary, graduate student, taught the first Hungarian language class ever offered at the University of Kansas yesterday.
Graduate teaching assistant Monica Pacziga instructs her class in Hungarian. This is the first year the University of Kansas has offered Hungarian as a language course.
About five students and a few observers attended the first day of the class.
Frank Baron, professor of Germanic language, said University courses in Hungarian were very rare. The only other universities in the Midwest to offer Hungarian courses, Baron said, are Colorado State University and Indiana University. He estimated less than 10 universities nationwide teach the language.
William Keel, chairperson of the Germanic language department, which offers the course, said the idea to offer Hungarian language classes began about two years ago.
"The general idea for it came with the realization that central Europe forms a cultural unit with a variety of languages and ethnic groups, but many things in common," he said.
Baron, a native of Budapest,
Hungary, said Hungary and
German-speaking Austria were
one empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, forming a natural connection between the two countries.
"German and Hungarian although they are very different languages, are linked politically and socially," Baron said.
Baron said he eventually hoped to expand the options of Hungarian
courses offered to history and culture classes, possibly in cooperation with other departments.
Although Hungarian is spoken only in Hungary, Baron said opportunities existed even in the United States for an expert in the Hungarian language.
"It is a very rare language, not known by many people," he said.
"That opens up possibilities in diplomacy or government service."
ryan Curnutt, Wichita senior, and his wife Aimee Curnutt, Garden City senior, hope to teach English in Hungary after they graduate.
"It was great because we already wanted to go there, and then they started offering the
class," Aimee Curnett said.

Lack of air conditioning angers Stephenson residents
The temperature may not break any records, but Stephenson Scholarship Hall residents are finding it difficult to sleep in
Hall president says delay in installation is result of hall's bad-boy' reputation
By Jeremy Clarkson
Kansan Staff Writer
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said he had originally planned to install air conditioning in one scholarship hall every summer.
their rooms without air conditioning.
This summer, Watkins, Pearson and Miller scholarship halls had air conditioning installed as part of a five-year plan, leaving Stephenson as the only hall left to swelter.
But because temperatures topped 100 degrees in the summer of 2000, he chose
to install air conditioners in three halls this year.
Stoner said air conditioning was not installed in Stephenson because of time constraints, but he planned on doing it next summer.
David Roby, Stephenson president, said he was angry his hall didn't have air conditioning because he paid as much as residents in the air-conditioned halls.
The Topeka junior said his hall was last on the list to receive air conditioning
because of the hall's reputation.
In the last three years, Stephenson residents have entered an annual Float of Doom into the homecoming parade. For the past two years, the floats were removed because they were considered obscene.
Last year the hall's residents had an art show where they publicly wet their pants.

NATION Convicted killer claim his lawyer had drinking problem
RALEIGH, N.C. — A killer set to be put to death this week is seeking clemency, arguing that his lawyer was drinking 12 shots of rum a day during the trial.
Ronald Wayne Freye, 42, is scheduled to be executed Friday for the 1993 slaying of his landlord, Ralph Childress, who was stabbed repeatedly with a pair of scissors and robbed of $5,000.
His lawyers will argue at a closed clemency hearing today that attorney Thomas Portwood had a drinking problem that hindered his ability to handle Frye's case.
Portwood's co-counsel, Ted F. Cummings III, filed an affidavit that said he knew Portwood drank heavily. Portwood admitted in an affidavit for another case that he drank 12 shots a day at the time.
The state Supreme Court rejected an appeal last week.
Frye said he had never noticed the smell or effects of alcohol on Portwood, but he said the two hadn't talked much.
The North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers sent Gov. Mike Easley a letter supporting clemency. "We find the defense attorney's performance to be far below the minimum standards in a capital case," wrote Burton Craige, president of the academy.
A Missouri man was executed in April despite his contention that his lawyer was drinking heavily, ill and overworked during his trial.

Flight attendant's lawyer tells jury Condit asked her to lie about affair
The Associated Press
MODESTO, Calif. — A lawyer for a flight attendant who claims she had an affair with Rep. Gary Condit asked a grand jury yesterday to indict the congressman on charges that he tried to coerce the woman into denying they had an affair.
In a rare legal procedure, James Robinson,
the lawyer for flight attendant Anne Marie
Smith, submitted a citizen complaint yesterday
directly to a Staminaus County grand jury.
Robinson also hoped to meet personally with the foreman of the grand jury and county prosecutor Jim Brazelton to urge them to bring perjury and obstruction of justice charges against Condit; his chief of staff, Mike Lynch; and Don Thornton, an investigator for a California lawyer who has represented Condit.
Condit is already under intense criticism at home and in Washington for his responses to questions about his relationship with missing intern Chandra Lew.
Smith said she and Condit had a 10-month affair. After Levy disappeared, she said, Condit called her several times and asked her to sign a statement denying they had an affair.
In a series of interviews last week, Condit said he never had an affair with Smith and never asked her to sign a statement.
"I didn't ask anyone to lie about anything,"
he said on ABC. "I did not ask Anne Marie not to cooperate with law enforcement. That's an absolute lie."
Federal officials have questioned Smith twice as part of their preliminary criminal investigation to determine whether Condit obstructed the investigation of Levy's disappearance.
Joleen McKay, a former Condit aide, also has spoken to investigators about her allegations that she had an affair with Condit and that Condit aides tried to pressure her to remain silent about it.
Condit ended a nearly four-month public silence and agreed to a series of print and broadcast interviews last week.
Condit repeatedly declined to provide details about the nature of his relationship with Levy, a 24-year-old from Modesto who disappeared May 1.
Levy met the 53-year-old Condit, who is married and represents Modesto, while in Washington for an internship at the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
Police said Condit was not a suspect in the disappearance but have criticized him for not being more forthcoming earlier about his relationship with Levy.
Russia delays weapons reduction plan
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — A discussed U.S.-Russian plan to stop production of weapons-grade plutonium in Russia has been stalled by financing shortages, and the Russian government said yesterday it wanted the United States to agree to postpone its implementation.
The agreement, signed in September 1997 by Vice President Al Gore and Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, was hailed at the time as a big step in U.S. efforts to ensure that Moscow safeguards and reduces its vast nuclear stockpile.
It has already been delayed by disagreements about audits to ensure U.S. money would be spent properly. Now Russia wants to push back the schedule of the project to convert three plutonium-making reactors to production of uranium for civilian power plants.
The plan calls for two nuclear reactors in the Siberian city of Seversk to stop producing
plutonium in 2002 and 2003. A third reactor in Zheleznogorsk was to stop in 2004.
Russian Cabinet's information department said that Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov had ordered the Nuclear Power Ministry to negotiate an amendment to the deal with U.S. officials.
It said the Seversk reactors would keep working through 2005, and the one in Zheleznogorsk until the end of 2006.
The reactors also provide electricity and heat for residents of the cities, and the U.S.- Russian deal called for the two countries to share the costs of building replacement power facilities.
The proposed amendment also included a stipulation that the United States would help modify reactors or build alternative power facilities if money is available. The Russian government statement didn't say when the amendment was expected to be signed.

A 25-year-old KU student's locked car was broken into between 11:30 p.m. Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday in the 2100 block of West 28th St., Lawrence Police said. A radar detector, cell phone and 10 compact discs were stolen. The value of the items and window damage were $780.
A 20-year-old KU student's apartment was broken into between 9:30 p.m. Friday and 11:30 a.m. Saturday in the 1700 block of Vermont, Lawrence Police said. The victim returned to her home and noticed a storm window was damaged, but she couldn't find anything missing. Damages were estimated at $150, Lawrence Police said.
A 21-year-old KU student's car was burglarized between 9:30 p.m. Thursday and 2 a.m. Friday in the 600 room of Gateway Court, Lawrence Police said. A wallet, credit cards and a birth certificate were stolen. Items were valued at $140.
A 20-year-old KU student was slapped and pushed to the ground by her boyfriend between 11:30 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. Sunday in the 1600 block of Crescent Road, Lawrence Police said. The suspect has not been located, but police will file a report with municipal court for a summons on two counts of battery.
Two 19-year-old KU student's water ski-related items were stolen between 1:00 p.m. Thursday and 10:00 a.m. Saturday at 1700 N. 1325 Rd, Douglas County Sheriff's Office said. An unknown suspect cut the padlock on a trailer parked at a pond and entered an unsecured storage area. The items were valued at $3,655.
Exhibit remembers vibrant past of Jewish life, Holocaust
WORLD
BERLIN — With many places in Germany dedicated to remembering victims of the Holocaust, the director of Berlin's Jewish Museum said yesterday he hoped the museum would stand as a memorial to Jewish life in Germany throughout history.
The permanent exhibition at the Jewish Museum, which opens with a gala celebration on Sept. 9, will cover 2,000 years of Jewish history in Germany. Organizers do not want the vibrant past and the present to be overwhelmed by the Nazi massacre of 6 million Jews under Hitler.
"I find it very fitting that this is a place of memory, not only for those killed but also for life over many centuries," said Michael Blumenthal. The museum directorl, who fled Nazi Germany and later served as U.S. treasury secretary, spoke to a news conference yesterday.
"We don't want the visitors only to learn something about the history, but also we try to answer questions in the museum: What does it mean to be a Jew? What does it mean to be a Jew in Germany? What did it mean in early times to be a German Jew?" Blumenthal said.
He noted that several memorials in Germany and Berlin were dedicated specifically to the Holocaust, which looms large in many Germans' perception of history today.
The last section of the new exhibit concentrates on postwar Jewish history in Germany.
Reaching back into the past as well, 3,900 artifacts will include a 10th-century copy of a decree on loan from the Vatican establishing the existence of a Jewish community in 321 in what is now southern Germany.
The exhibition won't ignore the Holocaust. The Gallery of the Missing, designed by German artist Via Lewandowsky, will use sound and glass sculpture to encourage visitors to conjure images of Jewish artifacts that mostly disappeared in the Holocaust, said Ken Gorbey, a New Zealander who oversaw the exhibition's design. The evocative steel building designed by American architect Daniel Liebeskind is a major attraction in itself. More than 350,000 people visited the empty shell since it opened to the public in 1999.

A.C.: Hall just last in line, Stoner says
"He links our current behavior in the last few years to our not having air conditioning." Roby said of Stoner.
Roby said he didn't think Stephenson would ever get air conditioning.
Stoner said behavioral problems had no effect in the decision of when Stephenson would receive air conditioning. He said when work is done in sequence, one hall goes first and one goes last.
"You put the plan together and someone goes last, but there's no magic associated with that." Stoner said.
S o m e Stephenson residents are not optimistic about the plans.
"A lot of the guys take a pillow and go downstairs and crash in the rec room because it gets too hot. It gets pretty nasty when you wake up in a pool of your own sweat."
Nathan Clark, Topekajunior and Stephenson proctor, said he was

not sure if the hall would get air conditioning because of the age of the building.
"The primary reason that Stephenson doesn't have air conditioning is it just can't take it." Clark said. "Stephenson is celebrating its 50th year."
Clark said the hall was made to handle the amount of electricity from the 1950s but not for the amount needed now.
He said this year the heat hadn't been a big problem, but some nights rooms were too hot for residents.
"A lot of the guys take a pillow and go downstairs and crash in the rec room because it gets too hot." Clark said. "It gets pretty nasty when you wake up in a pool of your own sweat."

Student Senate studies online voting option for spring election
Student body vice president hopes for better voter turnout
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Students could cast their votes online in the Student Senate elections this spring.
Kyle Browning, student body vice president, said the University should have the system established by the Senate election this spring. He said the University of Oklahoma worked with him to develop a way for students at KU to log on and vote from anywhere within about a 48-hour period during Senate elections.
"We're waiting for other schools to get their software together," Browning said. "Once we get the software, we will turn it over to the elections commission."
Browning said that even though online voting had its benefits, he was concerned that students could use their friends' KUIDs to vote.
"Fraud is definitely a concern that we have to be careful of," he said. "I am pretty confident that we can find a good system."
Holly Dunoo, a Chicago freshman, said online voting could increase voter turnout.
"A lot of people would be more likely to do it if it's more convenient for them," Dunoon said.

Dan Rossi, student body vice president at the University of Iowa, said online voting produced instant results.
During the 1999-2000 school year at Iowa — the first year the school offered online voting — Rossi said 2,705 students voted during elections. The next year, 4,198 students participated.
"The voting almost doubled from last year." Rossi said.
Brandon McNeely, a Seaside, Calif., junior, said students might be more willing to vote if it fit into their schedules.
"Getting online might make it easier," McNeely said. "I'd probably do it."

Discarded newspapers cause recycling burden on campus
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Some members of Student Senate are scrambling to find a way to make recycling around campus easier.
Amy Cummins, graduate senator and president of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, said students needed to do their part to recycle the extra newspapers left from the student newspaper readership program.
"Everyone needs to work together to make sure that the program is successful," Cummins said. "Student Senate is committed to recycling."
"Apparently, the Department of Student Housing didn't do what they were supposed to do." Cummins said. "The plan was to have the bins and train the RA's."
One of Delta Force's platform issues was increasing recycling in the residence halls. However, the halls lack enough recycling bins to effectively run the program, Cummins said.
She said the University had to do more to encourage recycling.
Maha Masud, Wichita freshman and Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin resident, said she wasn't sure if students in her residence hall made use of the available recycle bins.
Things that can be recycled around campus
- paper
- plastic
- glass (inselect places)
- aluminum
"I don't really know how much people recycle anyway," Masud said.
Some senators were concerned that the newspaper readership program, which was instituted this fall, would create more trash around campus.
Anna Gregory, Student Senate executive secretary, said they considered the recycling problem that came with the newspapers as early as last semester.
"We knew the new readership program was going to provide a lot more papers than we could handle," Gregory said. "If the readership program is going to work, we're going to have to provide recveling."
Coca-Cola has a contract with the University, obligating it to provide recycling bins around campus. Those bins have not yet

Federal court rules affirmative action policy unconstitutional
The Associated Press
ATLANTA (A) — A federal appeals court rulec yesterday that a University of Georgia affirmative action policy is unconstitutional because it arbitrarily gave nonwhite applicants a statistical boost.
The three-judge panel of the The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling in favor of three white women who were denied admission in 1999.
The appeals court said the policy, which awarded race-based points to borderline students, violated the Constitution's equal-protection clause.
"UGA's policy is not only rigid and incomplete, the benefit it awards each and every nonwhite applicant is wholly, and concededly, arbitrary," the court said. "If a university cannot even articulate a basis for the amount of the numerical bonus it awards nonwhite candidates, then it has no right to award such a bonus."
The university suspended the consideration of race last year while it awaited the court's decision. The school could appeal yesterday's ruling to the full appeals court or to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Ninety percent of students at the university were accepted on grades and test scores alone. The policy applied to only the remaining 10 percent, assigning them points on factors ranging from alumni relatives to race, with nonwhite applicants getting a boost.
Lee Parks, an attorney for the women who challenged the practice, cheered the ruling.
"The policy that was in place was functioning as a quota," Parks said. "Under any set of rules that would be unconstitutional."
Similar admissions policies at other schools
have been challenged and the issue may ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, which can resolve differences among appeals courts' rulings.
The university's lawyer did not immediately return a call for comment.
The University of Georgia had argued that campus diversity is a compelling state interest and that the policy helps remedy a long history of discrimination. No black students were allowed at Georgia until 1961.
The university has struggled for years to boost black enrollment. Blacks make up about 6 percent of the student body, while the state population is more than one-quarter black. About 13 percent of the student body is nonwhite.
State Rep. DuBose Porter, chairman of House Higher Education Committee, said the university was prepared for such a ruling and has taken other steps to bring more blacks to campus.
"I think the focus UGA is taking is more on recruitment than maintaining the old way of having additional basis points for admissions," he said. "They're looking more at how to recruit graduate students, how to recruit transfer students from two-year colleges and how to recruit minority students as you would any other student."
House Republican Leader Lynn Westmoreland said the court made the correct decision.
"I think it does matter that we have an equal protection clause to the Constitution and I'm glad to hear that the judges upheld that," he said.
The University of Georgia eventually granted admission to the three women who sued in 1999, though only two accepted.

The University of Kansas should allow pre-game tailgaters to drink alcohol, but should take precautions to ensure the safety of fans and students.
EDITORIAL
Bohl on track with proposal for tailgating
Allen Bohl, the new athletic director, has proposed granting an exception to the University's dry campus policy to allow fans to include alcohol in tailgate parties in University parking lots before home football games. He believes this will produce a better game-day atmosphere and draw more fans to football games.
Football would benefit from pre-game festivity
A pro-tailgating policy would accomplish these goals. It would almost certainly result in a greater turnout of students because the parties in the parking lot would provide an additional incentive to come to football games for the many students who receive football tickets with their sports package but never take advantage of them.
All of this would raise more money for the Athletics Department and would help avoid canceling smaller programs, as was the case last spring when the men's swimming and tennis teams were cut because of budget shortfalls.
But all these benfits must be weighed against the potential safety and academic hazards.
In addition, pre-game parties would ensure larger, louder crowds at the opening kickoff which could provide an important boost to a team in need of confidence. These benefits could feed off each other to produce successively bigger crowds and better teams.
The proposed policy change would only allow consumption of alcohol in a few designated lots on campus, and it would not permit consumption of alcohol on non-game days. With these provisions, the school's central academic mission should be preserved.
In addition, the policy change would allow the consumption of alcohol by tailgaters in parking lots prior to games, but would not permit the sale of alcohol in Memorial Stadium. If sobriety checkpoints were set up at the exits to the parking lots, fans could enjoy alcohol at parties before the games without endangering the safety of others on campus. The University should also provide phones for fans who need to call a sober driver and make Saferide available for students after games.
It should be noted that availability of alcohol does not necessarily mean that crowds will be rowdy and disorderly. Other universities have had success with pro-tailgating policies. At the University of Missouri, which decided to allow alcohol for pre-game tailgating two years ago, campus safety reports no more fights or rowdy fan behavior than before alcohol was allowed in the parking lots.
With campus security and respectful football fans, a pre-game tailgating policy would be a success. The concerns should be addressed and the policy should be implemented to benefit the football team this year.

Above all else, Matthew Overstreet is a journalist. A man of integrity and moral strength; blessed with an uncanny ability to refer himself in the third person and not seem overly pretentious. With this in mind I have taken it upon myself to interview dozens of stoners, drunks and dropouts to find out what advice they might have for their fellow students.
It's only natural that I interview these seemingly insignificant groups of people. I figured if I asked so called "winners" for advice I would get stereotypically lame answers like "join a student organization" or "get involved in the community." Besides, my idea of an interview is getting drunk and asking my friends questions while playing Nintendo. Needless to say, this severely limited my options.

ungodly sum for each meal whether you actually eat it. You might as well get a couple of sandwiches and a bag of chips out of the deal. Also, for a free meal every Thursday, head to the Kansas Union's "afternoon tea." I promise it is not nearly as yuppie as the name implies.
2. When it comes time to buy books, never, never pre-order them. This is a scam run by the University in cooperation with the publishing houses to get you to buy books you don't need. Unless you want to waste money, always go to your classes and get the sullabus before you buy any books.
3. I know kids today sometimes consume alcohol to become intoxicated. I'm not your mom, but I do want you to be safe. Here at KU there is a great service that will come and pick you (and your buddy who just throwup his spleen) up from anywhere in Lawrence and take you home. It's called Saferide, 864-SAFE. It's free. Use it.
4. Now that you know you'll have a safe ride home (864-SAFE), you can begin to make a decision about what to drink. I suggest a Drink of Kings, or as local romance novelist Eric Davis calls it, a William Faulkner. Take a full glass of ice water and add a shot of whiskey, preferable Kentucky Gentlemen. Not only is this drink super-cheap, it tastes like iced tea and because of its high water content is virtually hangover-free.
5. If you're underage you should never enjoy the Drink of Kings, but if you do and happen to be approached by a cop, put your cup down. I can't stress this enough. If cops bust a party and hand out MIPs, only the kids stupid enough to be holding alcohol will get in trouble. If someone even mentions the word "cops" put your cup down. Finding it later will be a lot easier then telling your frantic mother about your MIP.
It's not cool to run out of money, die in a car wreck, or get arrested. I hope these tips help a few KU students avoid such situations. What is cool, you ask? Reading the Kansan every single day, of course. That and Oasis, especially their new single due out in October.

Students the losers in Oread battle
The Oread Neighborhood Association is gearing up for yet another battle with the University of Kansas in order to protect the character of its neighborhood. In my five years at KU, I have witnessed the ONA take on KU administration and students about late night bar hours and unrelated roommate regulations.
BROOKLYN
The neighborhood group has picked numerous battles with the University and the students who live around it. Three years ago, it strong-armed The Hawk, Bullwinkles and The Wheel into limiting their hours to maintain neighborhood peace. Last year, it bullied the Lawrence City Commission into adopting a limitation on the number of unrelated adults that can live in a home zoned for single-family use.
Now, it seems the ONA is prepared to move past easy targets and take the University head on. It is a student's nightmare; should I root for corporate-gerant "KU Inc." or the ONA?
David Mitchell
Columnist
opinionkansan.com
Now, the ONA opposes the construction of new KU scholarship halls in the 1300 block of Ohio Street. The battle cry is nothing new: The University and its students create parking congestion and noise problems that would seriously alter the "fabric" of this "peaceful" neighborhood. The message is clear—middle-class families living in the Oread want a quiet and serene environment.
Commentary
This begs only one question. Why
On the other hand, the University of Kansas administration has been accused of violating the trust of many different communities and has taken to bullying tactics to advance its interests. University administrators have chosen to renge on the 1997 Campus Master Plan they agreed to, saying it is "not a legal document." It is clear that the University is not concerned with whose toes are stepped on in the process.
would you choose to move in next to a major public university? I am hardly sympathetic to any group that complains to the city commission every time they endure a "hardship" that should have been expected by moving into that neighborhood.
bers should consider the new hall an asset instead of a burden.
Caught up in the battle are the scholarship halls that are proposed for the property. As one of the few universities in the nation that offers this type of housing, the University provides a wonderful opportunity for low-cost, communal housing to students who promise to be strong academic performers. Oread neighborhood mem-
Unfortunately, the debate has not been framed in such a manner. ONA members want to scrap the current layout of Stouffer Place, family student housing, and create high-density housing on its 32 acres. The ONA would ruin housing for low-income families to save a part of their own neighborhood. Indeed, ONA members are most definitely interested in preserving quality surroundings for families — their families.
The Kansan reported that some residents of the Oread neighborhood favor the demolition of the houses, but will not speak publicly for fear of retribution by the ONA. This seems to fall right in line with ONA President Terry Riordan's comments in reference to KU. "(We) cannot tolerate the bullying and arrogant tactics of a powerful institution...(which should not) act unilaterally, but rather in concert must act responsibly in true concert with and in cooperation with organizations and citizens."
Perhaps the first step should be to move past selfishness and remember that preventing new scholarship halls means hurting students. Until then, the only losers in this battle that I'll be worrying about are those students.

Alabama schools see resegregation occur as residential, economic patterns change
Leader says Black political leadership needed to reverse the trend
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Sidney Lanier High School principal Lewis Washington Jr. can peer through his office window and see the erosion of desegregation efforts at his school in the past 30 years.
The west Montgomery school, a noble structure with Gothic spires that went up in 1929, once educated the children of Alabama governors and many other state leaders. In 1964, when a few African-American students enrolled, it was the first high school in the county to integrate.
Today, Sidney Lanier stands as a symbol of how Alabama's schools, like many others across the South, have become more segregated than at any time since 1970, according to a recent Harvard University study. The student body that Washington sees strolling the campus has only six Whites out of 1,100 students enrolled.
"We are 99 percent African- American and back then it was totally reverse," Washington said. "It affects the way children grow up with each other, and that's a cost that's more than the cost of busing children to one site or the other."
Obvious gains have been made since the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling Brown v. Board in 1954, which came at a time when public schools were legally and almost totally segregated across the South. But a trend toward resegregation has occurred mostly through the advent of private schools, neighborhood districting and a loosening of federal court mandates for deseg-
regated classrooms.
Critics of the shift toward resegregation say the end result is lower test scores at predominantly African-American schools, and both Black and White students being less prepared for an increasingly diverse world.
The Harvard study found that Alabama schools, after making gains in desegregation throughout the 1970s, began resegregating in the 1980s and 1990s. By 1998, the study said, the percentage of African-American students in majority-White schools had dropped to 31.4 percent, about the same as in 1970.
According to the study, desegregation in Southern states peaked in 1988, when 43.5 percent of African-American students attended majority-White schools. But by 1998, the percentage of African-American students in majority-White schools dropped to 32.7 percent — lower than it had been at any time since 1970.
"The Black political leadership and the Black clergy have got to start beating the drums again about what's going on," said Black political leader Joe Reed, who also holds a post with the Alabama Education Association.
Reed and others argue that several Supreme Court decisions have authorized a return to segregated neighborhood schools.
Now, many school boards "say we don't discriminate based on race," said Tuskegee civil rights attorney Fred Gray. "Their position is that (resegregation) is not the result of discrimination, rather it's the result of residential patterns, economic changes and other patterns."
Dennis Parker, assistant counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, also points to an increase in students attending mostly White private schools.
The construction of new homes often results in the building of new
"The main thing we can do is make sure all districts have an equal opportunity for education funding and resources."
Joe Morton deputy superintendent of Alabama schools
schools catering to White students. Parker said.
"I'm not saying it's intentional discrimination," he said. "But if you have houses that are three-, four- and five-hundred thousand dollars, then fewer Blacks are going to be living in these houses."
There are other issues, too. Some school board members have said they didn't even realize they were under a court order to desegregate because they weren't serving on the board when the orders were handed down.
Joe Morton, deputy superintendent of Alabama schools, said the state was doing "a strong professional job to abide by the court orders that do exist." But he said in some cases, there was not much school administrators can do to stop resegregation.
"When you get into changing housing patterns and migration, it's out of the purview of public education," Morton said. "The main thing we can do is make sure all districts have an equal opportunity for education funding and resources."
Even the harshest critics of resegregation say Alabama has come a long way since Brown ruling. In that case from Kansas, the high court declared school segregation unconstitutional.
Kansas' lawsuit against Nebraska Colorado sets water-law precedent
The Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas' lawsuits against Colorado and Nebraska about violations in water compacts remain on track, legislators were told yesterday.
Attorney General Carla Stovall gave an update on progress to gain money and water from the state's neighbors. She said briefs for the case against Nebraska about the Republican River were because of the court-appointed special master by November.
Officials from Kansas and Nebraska have been in discussion about the lawsuit, though no settlements have been reached. At issue is the amount of water Kansas claims Nebraska has failed to allow to flow into the state.
A special master has recently toured the Republican basin, Stovall said. The two states now are working through the logistics of exchanging documents.
Stovall said Kansas had claimed one victory in the case when the special master ruled groundwater pumping in Nebraska is governed by the compact.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Kansas is entitled to $14 million in damages as a result of Colorado's failure to abide by the
Arkansas River Compact. A special master is to decide how much Kansas will receive in interest since the case was filed in 1985.
"In this case, Colorado is not agreeing to anything." Stovall said.
She said the case was a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court in that it sets precedent for allowing one state to win damages from another for water issues.
Legislators have appropriated $17.3 million for the Colorado litigation since 1984. Any money received by the state as a result of the lawsuit will be deposited in the Interstate Water Litigation Fund, with money then used to help pay the costs of other water litigation, monitoring compliance with other water compacts.
All amounts above $17.3 million will be used for water projects, with a third of the money earmarked for the state Water Plan and the remainder for projects affected by the Arkansas River Compact.
Legislators expressed concern yesterday that Colorado would be slow to make payments.
They also wondered if any money above the attorney fees could be returned to the state general fund for other uses.
Groups raise money to aid the defense of mom accused of drowning children
The Associated Press
HOUSTON —The National Organization for Women and other groups said yesterday they were helping to raise money to defend Andrea Yates
into account in any punishment.
— the mother accused of drowning her five children in the bathtub — in part to help other women suffering from postpartum depression.
The groups also oppose the death penalty for Yates, saying her depression should be taken
"It gives us a platform for something that obviously needs education," said Deborah Bell, president of Texas NOW.
Yates, 37, called police on June 20 and admitted drowning her children in the tub. Her husband, Russell Yates, told police his wife was depressed and had been treated for postpartum depression. She is under suicide watch in a jail psychiatric unit.
American Civil Liberties Union, other women's and health groups and several antideath penalty organizations yesterday joined NOW in raising money.
Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal has said he would seek the death penalty.
NOW and the other groups in the Andrea Pia Yates Support Coalition plan a candlelight vigil on Sept. 11, a day before a hearing is scheduled to determine if Yates is fit to stand trial.
The defense fund was previously established by Yates' lawyers, but they cannot publicize it because of a court-imposed gag order.
Money not needed for her defense will go to groups working to educate and help others suffering from postpartum depression, coalition members said.

LAWRENCE — After years of resistance, Kansas transportation officials said they would consider building part of the Lawrence bypass along a route preferred by environmentalists and Haskell Indian Nations University.
Alternate trafficway routes offered
But the state is also offering Haskell officials a package worth more than $5 million if they will support an alternative plan for the South Lawrence Trafficway near the southern edge of the university's property.
The Kansas Department of Transportation will present the two new routes at a public hearing on Thursday.
The state wants to hear everyone's concerns before it begins a new environmental impact study, said Mike Rees, chief counsel for the department and leader of the effort.
The trafficway has been debated for more than 15 years. The western half was completed several years ago, but the eastern
lawsuits.
In the previous discussions, "a significant portion of the community faulted us for our failure to study south of the (Wakarusa) river," Rees said.
The state's willingness to examine the route is a response to those concerns, he said.
The 14.5-mile trafficway was designed to loop around the west and southern sides of the city, connecting Kansas Highway 10 to Interstate 70 and speeding commutes between Johnson County, Lawrence and Topeka.
half was abandoned last year after being stalled by protests and lawsuits.
The state originally wanted to build the four-lane road along a route that abuts the Haskell campus.
State officials said that route would hurt wetlands least and would ease congestion on 23rd Street, which is Kansas Highway 10 as it runs through the city.
However, the Wetlands Preservation Organization, an umbrella group of environmental organizations and
Haskell students and alumni blocked the project in court. They said the route would needlessly destroy wetlands and distur sacred grounds where American Indians prayed.
An attorney for the Haskell Board of Regents said on Friday that the state's new willingness to consider a route south of the Wakarua River was of "monumental importance."
"It means that the highway doesn't have to be built right at the back door of Haskell and that it doesn't have to go through sacred wetlands," lawyer Ron Manka said. "It just seems like it is time to bring this project to a conclusion by building south of the Wakarusa."
Athletic center renovations may be day late, dollar short for some ex-patrons
A south-of-the-river route would swing the road a half-mile to three-fourths of a mile farther south, Manka said, putting it out of the wetlands and far from campus.
It would add only a minute to the drive of motorists going 60 miles per hour, he said.

Total Fitness Athletic Center has found a new home at 2339 Iowa St., but not all of the center's members may be returning.
The center, which burnt down on March 5 at its original location, 925 Iowa St, moved into the Plaza 6 Theaters after the theaters closed Aug. 9.
Lori Johnson, club manager for the center, said some parts of the club, including the cardio rooms, weight rooms, lobby and offices, would open by Oct. 1.
The rest of the center, including the locker rooms, child-care facilities and group exercise studios used for cycling and conditioning, would not open until Nov. 1.
Crystal Swearingen, Wichita junior, said she probably would not join the center again because child-care facilities would not be readily available.
Her 1-year-old daughter Brittany often accompanies Swearingen to the gym when she works out.
She said she was now working out at Sixth Street Fitness, 2500 W. 6th St, where she didn't have

Swearingen began her two year membership last August and had 18 months left on her contract when the center burnt down.
to pay for child care as she did at Total Fitness.
Carly Chandler, Shawnee senior, was also a member of Total Fitness. She had six months left on her two-year contract when the center burnt down.
She said the balance of her membership was not refunded, so she usually worked out at Robinson Center for free.
"I'm going to see if I can pick up my membership where I left off first before I rejoin," Chandler said.
Johnson said she was not sure what the new membership rates would be because the center usually offered a semester rate, but it would not be open during the fall semester.
She said rates would be determined closer to the center's opening.
Marty Tuley, owner of the center, was unavailable for comment.
Crews are working at the old Plaza 6 Theaters to remove movie screens, seats, concession stand equipment and video equipment.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — Raising the stakes in the Mideast conflict, Israeli helicopters fired a pair of rockets through office windows yesterday and killed a senior PLO leader, the highest-ranking Palestinian slain in years.
thousands of angry Palestinian protesters poured into the streets and a rededeyed Yasser Arafat declared three days of mourning for Mustafa Zibri, 63, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. In immediate retaliation, PFLP gunmen killed an Israeli in an ambush on a car in the West Bank.
Killing of Palestinian leader further ignites Mideast conflict
The Palestinians said Israel was waging an "all-out war," while Israel said Zibri was involved in bombing attacks and was planning more.
Throughout the months of conflict, Israel has targeted Palestinians thought responsible for attacks against its soldiers and civilians, but most were considered midlevel operatives, such as bombmakers. Zibri was one of the top five figures in the PLO, headed by Arafat, the Palestinian leader. The killing took place barely 200 yards from Arafat's West
Bank headquarters in Ramallah.
Before the Palestinian uprising began, Arafat's security forces had jailed Shami on several occasions and cracked down on group members.
But Arafat's security forces have refused Israeli requests to arrest Islamic militants during the uprising, which has brought together Palestinian groups previously at odds.
The Palestinian Authority said in a statement that "with its latest criminal act, the Israeli government confirms that it has
Zibri, widely known as Abu Ali Mustafa, headed "an active and deadly terrorist organization," said Ephraim Sneh, Israel's transportation minister and a retired general. Zibri was involved in seven bomb attacks in the past six months, including a blast last week in central Jerusalem, Sneh said.
Zibri's group had claimed responsibility for the attacks shortly after they took place. The army said no one was killed in those attacks.
Upon hearing the news of Zibri's death, Arafat, who was in Gaza City, withdrew to his office for about half an hour, his aides said.
decided to open the doors to an all-out war."
Nabil Aburdeneh, an Arafat adviser, accused President Bush of a pro-Israeli bias that, Aburdeneh said, encouraged Israel to carry out the killing.
"This policy of assassinations which is being conducted with a green light from the United States will push the area into a new cycle of violence and danger," Aburdeneh said.
Dore Gold, an Israeli government spokesman, said Zibri "may himself not have been an operative in the field, but was directly involved in an overall effort by the PFLP to engage in bombings in Jerusalem."
Jerusalem.
In an outpouring of anger, Palestinians marched in the streets of West Bank towns in the hours after the killing. In Arabe, Zibir's home village in the northern West Bank, about 5,000 people marched, led by gunmen firing in the air.
In a first retaliation, the PFLP claimed responsibility for killing an Israeli in an ambush near the Jewish settlement of
The United States has condemned the targeted killings. However, Bush has been sharply critical of Arafat, saying he could do more to rein in militants.
Elon Moreh in the West Bank.
Shots were also fired Monday evening from the West Bank town of Beit Jalla at the Jewish neighborhood of Gilo, built on land Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed to Jerusalem. Gilo has been a frequent target of Palestinian shooting attacks. One Israeli resident was moderately wounded, police said. Israeli troops returned rifle fire.
In yesterday's morning helicopter attack, Zibri was sitting at his desk in his second-floor Ramallah apartment, which doubled as PFLP headquarters. Rockets came through two windows of his corner office, decapitating Zibri and scorching the walls. No one else was hurt.
Zibri's chair and the pockmarked walls of the office were stained with blood. Smoke blackened the facade of the building. The windows of other apartments were shattered, but no one was seriously hurt.
Three American-Palestinian families live in the building, including the al-Quaddumis, who lived directly beneath Zibri's office and moved to the West Bank three years ago from Manassas, Va.
Zibri returned to the West Bank from exile in 1999 and became leader of the PFLP last year, taking charge after the retirement of the group's founder, George Habash, who lives in Damascus, Syria.
The PFLP has opposed the strategy of the past decade's peace talks with Israel. But it does not insist on the elimination of the Jewish state, as Islamic militants do.
According to Palestinian human rights activists, about 50 Palestinians have been killed in targeted Israeli attacks in the last 11 months. While most were militants, the victims have included women and children who were bewanders.
Zibri was the most prominent Palestinian to be killed in recent years. In 1988, Israeli commandos shot and killed Khalil Al Wazir, the PLO military chief, in a raid of his Tunis, Tunisia, home.
In 1995, Fathi Shakaki, leader of Islamic Jihad, was gunned down outside a Malta hotel in an attack widely attributed to Israel.

Kansas is OK on traditions, but tailgating is bad idea
Ever thought that storied Jayhawk traditions like Allen Fieldhouse and the Rock Chalk chant didn't get the respect they deserved?
In an article titled "The Rating Game," $ SI $ writers give props to two of Kansas' most well-known traditions. The article listed the most underrated and overrated people, places and things in sports. It called Allen Fieldhouse the most underrated college basketball arena, citing its prime on-campus location and ample student seating sections.
Sports Illustrated thinks so.
100
Leonard Hansen, Edmond, Okla., sophomore, leads a group of cross country runners through their first jawt on the river trails of the season.
The Rock Chalk chant was listed as the most underrated rallying cry. SI's Grant Wahl wrote, "Listen to it only once at a packed Allen Fieldhouse before a Jayhawks' basketball game and try not to get goose bumps."
Elsewhere in college sports, "Boomer Sooner" was named the most overrated rallying cry (take that Oklahoma fans), and the Heisman Trophy was named college football's most overrated award.
Excuse me for being skeptical about the effect of allowing beer sales in or around Memorial Stadium will have on attendance at Kansas football games. They sell beer at Kauffman Stadium, and attendance at Royals games is still dreadfully low.
While selling alcohol outside the stadium might increase revenue a bit, the only way to increase attendance is for the Jayhawks to start winning games. Of course, beer would give fans a way to numb the pain from inevitable Kansas defeats.
I've got another sure-fire way to bolster attendance and revenue at Kansas football games this season. Let the first 25 fans in attendance play quarterback for one play while Kansas has the ball in the first half.
Until yesterday, and the suspension of a player who shall go nameless, the Jayhawks had a quarterback controversy thanks to coach Terry Allen's decision to shuffle between Mario Kinsey and Zach Dyer during the first three games of the season.
But the truth is it shouldn't have mattered who the Jayhawk quarterback is. With new offensive coordinator Rip Scherer's plan to implement the no-huddle offense and a shotgun formation on first down, the Jayhawks should be able to score at will, regardless of who takes the snaps.
Never mind that Kansas averaged just 23.7 points per game last season — eighth in the Big 12 Conference and 77th in the country. Back up the quarterback a few yards and start calling plays at the line of scrimmage, and suddenly the Kansas offense is an efficient, touchdown-scoring machine. Sounds like a plan.
Good columnists often make bold predictions in their inaugural column to show readers they're not afraid to take a stand. I, too, am not afraid. Bold Prediction One: No Rose Bowl for the Kansas football team this season. Bold Prediction Two: If the Jayhawks don't start winning games, Allen's job might be in jeopardy by the end of the season.
Cross country team looks for guidance from veterans

Team learns lessons from last season, hopes to improve
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
Despite tough competition within the Big 12 Conference, both the Kansas men's and women's cross country teams stand to improve on last year's finishes in the Big 12 and District 5 championships, said head coach Stan Redwine.
All five scorers from last season's conference meet in Boulder, Colo., return to both squads, and Redwine hopes to better the men's sixth place and women's 11th place finishes.
"I think both programs did improve dramatically last year but we want to continue that," Redwine said. "That improvement is definitely not a resting place."
Redwine said the runners learned some lessons last year that he thought would continue to pay off for them this season.
"I think they learned last year that they can achieve if they go out and give that effort," he said. "As long as there is excitement within the team and they're having fun it is achievable."
Redwine and assistant coach Doug Clark took over the program just over a year ago, and Clark said he thought the athletes were much more comfortable with what was expected from them coming into this season.
"They're a lot better prepared mentally and physically for what we expect," Clark said. "If we needed to do something different last year, that would have been to prepare better before the season started."
"I couldn't be happier with the way things are going," Clark said.
Senior Brent Behrens stayed in Lawrence over the summer and said
his summer preparation had gone well.
Running a little over sixty miles a week now, Behrens said he would up that to about 75 later in the season.
That's slightly lower than his regimen last year. Behrens said he believed a steady, smart approach to
"Personally, I'd like to be all-conference and make nationals as an individual," Behrens said.
his training would lead him to his lofty goals for this season.

Two players suspended, yanked from Sept.1 game
By Jeff Denton
Kansan sportswriter
Starting sophomore running back Reggie Duncan and freshman quarterback Mario Kinsey have been suspended for Saturday's season opener against Southwest Missouri State for violating team rules, coach Terry Allen said in a statement released yesterday.
Janay Leddy, assistant sports information director, said both athletes refused to comment.
Allen left yesterday's three-hour practice a half-hour early to tape his weekly radio show. He did make a statement in a release by the Sports Information Office.
"Both players understand the mistakes they have made," Allen said. "We stress to our players that they are accountable for their actions and they understand the penalties involved when they break rules."
Sophomore Zach Dyer will be Allen's quarterback on Saturday. He had been battling Kinsey throughout the spring and summer. Sophomore Dan Coke, a 6-foot-1, 205-pounder from Moore Haven, Fla., will start in place of Duncan. He only carried the football 10 times for 54 yards last season but relished the chance to be the Jayhawks' featured back.
However, he regretted that he was rewarded for his teammates' mistakes.
"I feel I need to go in there and prove myself," Coke said. "I was a little disappointed that they were not going to be playing, but other guys got to step it up."
Coke also declined to speak about the suspensions.

After rough start to college career junior golfer hits her stride

As the Kansas women's golf team gets into full swing, golfer Heather Rose is looking forward to continuing the uphill battle that her career has followed since she came to Lawrence three years ago.
The Martinsville, Ind., junior helped her high school team win the state championship each of her four years there, and then joined a Kansas team that offered the lure of playing Division I golf in a top conference
Freshman year didn't go as Rose had planned, however, as she got little play and didn't qualify to compete in the Big 12 Conference Championship.
Instead of complaining about her lack of playing time, Rose worked hard during the off-season to return for a sophomore year that allowed her the opportunity to be the only returning player on this year's team to play in all 12 tournaments the Jayhawks competed in, along with a tie for 28th at last year's Big 12 Championship.
"Last year I got used to the traveling and keeping up with the school work," Rose said. "I was really nervous at Big 12s, but it was a major boost for my confidence."

Trio of KU receivers run toward success in senior season
By Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
"Trips right" is the call in the huddle at a Saturday morning scrimmage. The team breaks and Kansas' three receivers take their place next to each other at the line.
The first thing that stands out is the three receivers' height — or lack thereof.
roger Ross stands at 5-foot-7, Termaine Fulton at 5-10 and Harrison Hill, the tallest of the group, is just under 6foot.
Texas' top three receivers, by contrast, average more than 6-foot-3.
Despite the squad's appearance, many, including coach Terry Allen and offensive coordinator Rip Scherer, think the unit is among the conference's best.
Quarterback Zach Dyer takes the snap in the Kansas scrimmage and immediately fires to his right. Hill catches it just three yards up field, makes a move on the first defender and heads up field.
Hill has been doing this for the past four years at Kansas. He's the veteran of the group. He was a starter immediately upon arriving at Kansas from Wichita Collegiate five years ago. He was granted a medical red-shirt following his first season, which was cut short by a broken left ankle. He returned the next year and has been a constant in the passing game ever since.

SPORTS IN BRIEF
TUESDAY,AUGUST 28,2001
Today's Birthday (Aug. 28). Love is in the air this year, and although you'll run into a couple of other problems, love should be constant and fine especially if you remember to keep your true love on a pedestal. Treat this person like royalty. It's a small price to pay, and it will be appreciated. It will also help you get past the stuff that doesn't go quite according to plan.
Aries(March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
Surprise inspection I Has your work been done perfectly? If not, you'll hear about it. Don't argue with someone who outranks you. Say "yes, sir" or "yes, ma'am." Today there's zero tolerance for errors or wisecracks. Wipe that grin off your face and get busy.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 9.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 9.
You look marvelous! Your sweetheart may be hit by a momentary loss of words, so don't fret if nothing is mentioned. Maybe your admirer thinks you're beyond reach. Be kind, patient and loving. The words will come, though it may take a while. Make a date for tomorrow night.
Gemini (Mav 21-June 21). Todav is a 6.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a b.
Is there something big you'd like to accomplish?
A reason you're working, beyond providing food and shelter? How about a trip around the world? A college education? Retiring in luxury?
No matter, it's good to plan ahead. You're more likely to get there if you know where you're going.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
By now you should have learned that you don't
have to do it all. You could, of course, but it's unnecessary. You could let an opinionated, bossy, sometimes obnoxious person help.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Tell your friends they'll have to get along without you for a while. You have things to do. You're making money, and you're paying back a debt.
Keep statistics. You'll be amazed at how much you get done over the next few days. By about Thursday or Friday, you'll have time for a coffee break.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
You're feeling a little better — enough to be a big flirt. Let that person you've been thinking about know how much you care — through your deeds as well as your words, of course. Remember to do something special.
Libra (Sent, 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 5.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 5.
Don't plan a big evening out. You may want to be in bed shortly after you get home from work. It could be a summer cold, or it might just be a need for preventive medicine. Treat yourself right.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
You'll soon encounter a problem that appears to have no solution. There is an answer; you just don't know what it is yet. But you love a good mystery.
Think you can figure this one out? Here's a clue: Do the homework.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
You'll soon figure out why you had to tow the line.
An opportunity that wouldn't have been available otherwise is out there, waiting to be accepted. Go for it. If you've done good over the past few days, your odds are great.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8.
It'll be much easier to achieve what you're after.
You may encounter a foul-up with communications or travel, but you can find a way around it. Listen to the traffic reports if you're on the road, and make your date for tomorrow night instead. Then, go get what you want.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5.
You might not get the work assignment you wanted, but don't despair. This story appears to have a happy ending. Let the boss know you'll be glad to do whatever needs to be done. You may end up with something better.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
You've made it through the tough part. If you did
what you were supposed to do, you passed the
test. Now you can do what you want, provided you
don't forget prior commitments. And don't be late
for dinner.

Hopes: 'Hawks ready to run
S
The Big 12, as always, will provide stiff competition for the Jayhawks. Colorado returns five scorers from its conference championship and national runner-up squad, and Oklahoma State (second in the Big 12, 13th at the NCAA championships) and Texas (fourth, 22nd) return the bulk of their front runners from a year ago.
Brian Blachly and a group of four other seniors, Behrens, Mark Menefee, Pete Prince and track All-American Charlie Gruber, yearn to make an impression on the country and Kansas record books this fall.
"We're going for it all this year and we have the guys to do it," Blachly said. "Every year we put out the goal to qualify for nationals. It's something that doesn't even need to be said. We just need to do whatever it takes to peak at the right time."
On the women's side, Colorado loses defending individual national champion Kara Grgas-Wheeler, but return four other top runners from its national championship team. Kansas State returns three runners from its 10th-place team at nationals. Missouri (16th) and Texas A&M (18th) also finished in the top 20.
"We're going for it all this year and we have the guys to do it."
Brian Blachly senior runner
Sophomore Laura Lavoie, who led the Jayhawks in five of six races last season and had some breakthrough performances during the track season, said improvement was at the forefront of her mind as well.
She led the team at conference last year with a 40th-place finish. The top five runners finished in the top 62. In 1999, the first Jayhawk to cross the line did so in 62nd.
"I hope that we're going to do a lot better." Lavoie said. "I think we're a lot stronger, we're all running together as a group. Last year we were all strung out all year."
Captain: Leads by example
This past summer, Rose took the lessons her father taught her as she stayed busy
Confidence is what Rose carries into this season as she returns to the Jayhawks as the most experienced golfer on the squad, and she was chosen as a captain before the year because of the positive attitude that coach Nicole Hollingsworth saw in her.
Still, Rose credits much of her success to her father, whom she said pushed her in her practice and taught her not to get discouraged when she was down on herself after a bad round or day on the range.
"She came here and started out as a shy person, but she adjusted," Hollingsworth said. "Now as a captain, she does everything I tell her to do as a captain."
Rose's leadership abilities can be traced back her younger years as she began to play golf when she was 7 and began to play in tournaments when she turned 10.
preparing for the golf season by fitting practice around her work schedule and competing in eight tournaments, including the US Amateur Championship.
Now that the Jayhawks have begun practice in preparation for their fall schedule, Rose understands her role as a captain and as one of the best golfers on the team.
"I think as a leader I can tell the freshmen that if they have a bad round, they shouldn't get down on themselves." Rose said. "I also lead by example by getting out here and practicing not only during coach's time but before and after practice."
It's this type of attitude that has Hollingsworth expecting big things out her junior in the following months.
"Her confidence is the highest it's ever been," Hollingsworth said. "We're looking for great things from her this fall."
Big 12 awaiting openers
The Associated Press
The wait for the first kickoff is getting tiresome at Baylor, Kansas State and Texas Tech, especially after seeing three Big 12 teams already play their openers and five more scheduled for this weekend.
Then there's Iowa State, which is embracing its late start.
"I'm very appreciative for the chance to have more time because we're not ready yet," coach Dan McCarney said yesterday. "We need as much practice and preparation time as we can get."
Ready or not, the Cyclones, who will be relying on several young and inexperienced players, open a week from Saturday at home against Northern Iowa.
"I think everyone gets anxious," Wildcats
It's an especially long wait for Kansas State fans, who attended home games on Aug. 26 and Sept. 2 last year.
coach Bill Snyder said. "Our players are certain anxious about having two weeks to go."
Baylor players are looking forward to hitting someone who isn't wearing green and gold after wearing plenty of that in recent weeks.
Baylor coach Kevin Steele has put his team through three mini-scrimmages and three full-fledged scrimmages, including a 129-play workout last Friday.
NCAA rules allow 29 practices before the opener. How those are spread out depend on when school starts.
But many days classes are in session before the opener counts against that 29. Whatever is left is divided in half, and that's how many two-a-day sessions are left.
What that boilis down to is that teams with late starts have fewer two-a-days.
Oklahoma and Nebraska opened with victories Saturday, while Colorado started with a loss Sunday night.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Florida tops poll; Georgia Tech moves one spot out of Top 10
Georgia Tech won its opener but not impressively enough to keep its Top 10 spot in The Associated Press poll.
In the only change from the preseason rankings, the Yellow Jackets fell from No. 10 to No. 11 in the AP's first regular-season Top 25 poll yesterday, despite a 13-7 win against Syracuse the day before. Oregon State, 11th in the preseason, is the new No. 10 team.
Florida remained a solid No.1, with Miami close behind in the voting at No.2. The Gators and Hurricanes start their seasons Saturday.
Oklahoma, the defending national champion, opened with a 41-27 victory against North Carolina on Saturday night to stay at No.3; Nebraska kept the No.4 spot with a 21-7 win against TCU on Saturday. Texas was fifth, followed by Florida State, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia Tech and Oregon State.
Florida, which opens at home against Marshall, had 21 first-place votes and 1,723 points from the 72 sports writers and broadcasters on the AP panel.
Miami, at Penn State on Saturday night, had 33 first-place votes and 1,710 points. Oklahoma had 10 first-place votes, Nebraska had three. Texas four and Oregon one.
Florida picked up one first-place vote this week; Nebraska and Texas each lost a first-place vote; and Oregon received its first vote for No. 1. Kansas State remained at No. 13.
WNBA Los Angeles star Lisa Leslie claims WNBA MVP award
Lisa Leslie of the Los Angeles Sparks was chosen as the WNBA's most valuable player, making her the first to capture All-Star and regular-season MVP honors in the same season.
The 6-foot-5 center averaged 19.5 point and led the Sparks to a league-best 28-4 record during the regular season.
Leslie received $25,000 from the league and a new car during a presentation before Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.
She received 563 points and 51 first-place votes from a national panel of 60 sports writers and broadcasters, easily outdistancing Houston's Tina Thompson, who had 355 points.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B
Scherer: Wishes they had a sixth year
Hill has a chance to be the third Jayhawk to lead the team in receptions three times, and is 27 catches away from being the school's all-time leader in catches. Considering he hauled in 47 passes last year, the feat is well within his grasp.
Hill's teammates said that he's just as steady off the field as his is on.
"His work ethic is unreal," Ross said. "He is consistent in everything he does. He may not be perfect, but he'll work till he gets everything right."
Hill's hard work has transferred in to the classroom, where Hill is a Jayhawk Scholar and on course to graduate in December with a degree in business.
He does more than work, though.
"Harrison is so slick," Fulton said. "He's always playing around in meetings, he just never gets caught."
The offense comes set at the line. At the snap, Roger Ross fakes to the inside and runs a deep out. Dyer sees the play open and lofts the football slightly too far ahead. Ross accelerates and makes a diving catch 30 yards downfield with his back to the line.
Ross took Kansas by surprise last year.
A junior college transfer from Garden City Community College, he cracked the starting rotation immediately. Despite his small stature of 5-foot-7, 180 pounds, Ross has excelled, letting his soft
His teammates said the most impressive part of Ross's breakout year was that he made an effort to keep learning about the game while in the throws of the season.
"Roger's the question asker," Fulton joked, as Hill nodded his head in agreement.
"We have to help Roger along on the field — and off it." Hill added, smiling at the inside joke.
"Roger's the question asker. We have to help Roger along on the field and off it."
His teammates may prod him, but Ross's transition to Kansas from the junior college ranks has been an unequivocal success. Not only has he surpassed football expectations, but he also earned Jayhawk Scholar honors in the classroom.
Despite his flair for the big plays in games, Ross is low key off the field. Soft-spoken, he said he preferred slow music and would rather clown around than take things too seriously.
Termaine Fulton makes his move off the line and races down-field. Sneaking past the free safety, there is no one between the goal line and him. He raises his hands in disappointment when

If Hill is the consistent leader, and Ross the soft-spoken big-play threat of

year, but it was sporadic at best.
At times, Fulton looked like the same receiver, catching two touchdowns for more than 40 yards. But at other times he was phased out of the offense, catching one or no passes in eight of the team's eleven games, despite starting each contest.
"Everybody thought the injury
"Everybody was bothering me," Fulton said. "But that wasn't at all, the injury just cost me the one year. I'm just ready to get out there and show that I can be consistent for a whole season."
A fan of hard-core rap, Fulton said he is the most serious of the three starting receiver
Scherer, in his first year at Kansas after six years as head coach at Memphis, said the receivers, particularly the three starting seniors, have been instrumental in the transition into a new offense.
the next call.
"I wish they could all appeal for a sixth year," he said.
The only disadvantage Scherer could see is that all three will be gone next year.
After the scrimmage, the three receivers share jokes in the locker room. They make plans for the evening because they have the weekend free.
"We know each other so well." Ross said. "We get along great away from football just like we do in practice and in games. Those guys are like brothers to me."
Fulton said the three each have distinctive, different personalities but are as much alike as they are different.
"We don't like the same kind of food or listen to the same music"
"I'm like the dad of the group," he said. "The guys will be screwing around at coaches meetings, and I'll have to give them a look like, 'OK son, let's chillout.'"
"Everybody thought the injury was bothering me. But that wasn't it at all, the injury just cost me the one year.I'm just ready to get out there and show that I can be consistent for a whole season."

"We have talent, but we've always had talent," Hill said. "Now we need to go out and show the Big 12 and the country what we can do with this talent and just how good we can be."

Display of torture instruments turns stomachs of some visitors
SAN FRANCISCO — A guillotine, a "knee splitter" and a spiked chair from the Spanish Inquisition are among more than 100 instruments of torture displayed in the first U.S. exhibit of gruesome tools used by authorities since the 1500s to subjugate their people.
The Associated Press
Human rights groups hope visitors will see that many of the instruments being exhibited in the Herbst International Exhibition Hall at the Presidio of San Francisco are the originals used to humiliate, torture and kill, and that other often undetectable forms of torture are still used today, including beating, electric shock, water submersion and rape.
Cosette Thompson, western regional director of Amnesty International USA, said torture was not isolated to medieval times.
"Torture still exists and is being used in 150 countries around the world," she said.
Although no numbers estimating how many people are tortured each year, deaths have occurred recently in more than 80 countries because of such treatment. Amnesty International says.
Visitor Jeanine Gore covered her mouth as she peered into a glass case enclosing two medieval iron chastity belts — one lined with sharp teeth — designed to "protect" women from sexual encounters.
"I think it's atrocious. It seems like there was a great hatred against women," she said.
Joe Duffy, Hollywood, Fla., and his 13-year-old son, Michael Harding, were particularly taken by the nails and needles once poked through the tongues of those who uttered curse words or blasphemous statements.
As shown in engravings and paintings, the saw was used to torture homosexuals. It also was widely used to kill people for crimes ranging from witchcraft to military disobedience.
The one instrument Gore couldn't stomach was a tool still commonly found in American sheds and garages — a two-handed crosscut saw.
"There were some sick people back then, and from what you hear, everybody got a kick out of it," Duffy said. "Who engineered this stuff?"
Medieval authorities put a lot of thought and work into devising the torture devices, many of
"While Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel, we were doing such things. This exhibit is in order so that this will not be repeated."

which were designed specifically to torture women, said exhibit curator Aldo Migliorini, from the Criminal Medieval Museum of San Gimignano near Siena. Italy.
Notaries documented the punishment, and doctors were often present to assess the pain and the condition of the accused.
"While Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel, we were doing such things," Migliorini said. "This exhibit is in order so that this will not be repeated."
Some were meant for public humiliation as well as physical and psychological torture.
The garrote, a device with a sharp metal tip that screws into the back of the neck, was the official instrument of capital punishment in Spain until 1975, when the last person to be executed was a young student later found to be innocent. The country eventually abolished the death penalty, partly because of that mistake.
The display also includes torture devices from recent years.
Another device, called the pole, was used as recently as two years ago to impale people in the Balkan wars, said exhibition assistant Valentina Pogher.
"After this exhibit you feel so without power," she said.
The Presidio exhibit is drawing about 100 visitors a day, curators say, and will run through Oct. 14.
The exhibit is making its first U.S. appearance after traveling for the past 12 years through Japan, Mexico, Argentina and Europe,

'Othello' star tries to remain diverse as career blossoms
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mekhi Phifer is Odin James in the new movie O — as in Othello — making the 26-year-old the latest young actor to bring a complex Shakespearean character into modern times.
Phifer knew Othello because it was required reading in high school. At the time, of course, he had no idea he would someday play the lead, or that he'd even be an actor. Now he sees it as "a dream role — especially as an African-American actor being allowed to do a full range of emotions as a real person instead of a stereotypical 'black' character."
$O$, which also stars Josh Hartnett and Julia Stiles, was directed by Tim Blake Nelson.
Phifer, a New York native who lives in Los Angeles, wants to break stereotypes. Not being pigeonholed is what will ensure his longevity in Hollywood, he says.
He says he weighs carefully the characters he plays, including parts in the upcoming sci-fi action film Impostor, the remake of the 1971 James Caan-Billy Dee Williams made-for-TV movie Brian's Song and Paid in Full about Harlem gangsters—to make sure they show his range.
But the role Phifer clearly relishes is being single dad to his 2-year-old son, Omikaye.
"We have fun," he said. "I'm a grown man, but I have my toys, and I play with Omikaye. We have dune buggies — with seat belts — and we go through the park. We have fun in the pool. We go to Gymboree."
Since your first acting job in 1995's Clockers, you've worked nonstop. What's your long-term goal?
Phifer: I want to secure my future so the money is there so I can delive into family life and settle down. I want to have more kids — maybe five. A successful acting career will allow me to do things like go to parent-teacher conferences.
Is there one "dream part" out there for you?
"I'm a grown man, but I have my toys, and I play with Omikaye. We have dune buggies — with seat belts — and we go through the park. We have fun in the pool. We go to Gymboree."
Mekhi Phifer actor
Phifer: I love Marvin Gaye, and I'd love to portray him.
O was finished in 1999, but the release was pushed back several times because of the teen violence. What do you think about the delays?
Phifer It's actually a blessing in disguise because there is so much publicity and awareness for this small, indie movie. And I could understand that Miramax didn't want to seem as if it was capitalizing on others' misfortune after the Columbine and San Diego shootings. But, at the end of the day, this is the story of Othello. It's not a new story, if there's a gripe with the story, you've got to take it up with Shakespeare.
Do you see Odin as a hero or a villain?
Are you any good at basketball?
Phifer I can't say he's a straight hero because he's a human being, a good person and great at basketball, but he doesn't really do anything heroic.
Phifer: I can play a little ball, but I haven't played in years, and I can't watch it on TV because I can't sit still that long. But there was no stunt double in the movie, that's me. I'm 5-foot-11 — I think the same as Allen Iverson.

ISSUE 6 VOLUME 112
University pay phones could be removed from campus
Southwestern Bell considers canceling University's pay phone privileges
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Students could soon have trouble finding pay phones on campus.
Southwestern Bell — the company that provides pay phones to the University of Kansas — is considering removing many or all of them, because of a lack of profit from the phones.
John Lewis, Director of Networking and Telecommunications at the University, said Southwestern Bell came to the University about removing the pay phones last semester, but hasn't followed up with any actions.
"Which pay phones they are going to move and when they are going to be moved has not been determined," Lewis said. "Nothing has happened yet. Sometimes this year, we will find out from them."
Adam Obley, Campus Safety Advisory Board chairman, said the decision to eliminate most pay phones was made at the end of last semester. He said action by the board, a part of Student Senate, would be taken soon to correct the problem.
Pay phones may go
"First of all, we were pretty shocked it was happening," Obley said. "Our second response was to put a plan in place to put new technology on campus. It's possible, if we do decided to switch
- What does it mean:
  - Students will be without pay phones until a temporary system can be established with the blue phones.
- What's next:
  - Networking and Telecommunications and Campus Safety
  - Advisory will work together to bring in a new company to provide pay phones
What happened:
Southwest ern Bell plans on removing almost all pay phones from
the blue phones to students access phones."
"It'd probably cause a lot of problems for people who don't have cell phones," Ditolla said. "I think there should be some (pay phones) available."
Southwestern Bell could not be reached for comment.
The blue phones — which are scattered around campus — are used to contact campus police or 911. Obley said converting the blue phones was essential to give students access to campus numbers, because there would be only a few pay phones left on campus.
Katie Bartlett, liberal arts and sciences senator, said she was disappointed with the company and the message it sent to students.
"I am pretty out of搔 that (Southwestern Bell) would put profit above student safety," Bartlett said. "They're not making enough money, so they assume that students all have cell phones and that they don't need nav phones. I think it's ridiculous."
"They were going to leave a couple in the residence halls," Obley said. "They talked about leaving four telephones on campus."
James Ditolla, Amesbury, Mass. senior, said he didn't like the idea of not having pay phones on campus.
Law increases MIP penalties
Minimum fines raised students could face license suspensions for underage drinking
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Underage drinkers beware: The penalty for a minor in possession of alcohol has increased.
Those convicted of an MIP will now lose their driver's licenses for 30 days as the result of a bill passed this summer by the Legislature. The driver's license suspension may also lead to increased auto insurance premiums or the inability to obtain auto insurance.
MIPs will carry a fine ranging from $300 to $500. The fines were originally $250, said Shannon Mlynar, Chief
He said those convicted also had to pay court costs and might have to pay legal fees. The final total could become expensive.
Grant Jones, Prairie Village senior, knows this to be true.
Enforcement Officer of the Alcoholic Beverage Control.
"The fine itself was probably like $200. Then with lawyer fees it probably added up to $400 to $500." Jones said.
Jones received an MIP in May 1998.
Contact Daley at 864-4810
This was before the fines increased to a $300 minimum.
Jones and three friends were driving to Sandstone Amphitheater to a Dave Mathews Band concert. Jones said the driver of his car wasn't drinking, but she was pulled over because she had been speeding.
Jones said he had never been pulled over before.
"I was definitely scared and mainly worried because it was my car we were in, and I didn't know what was going to happen," he said.
Facing the police was difficult, Jones said, but facing his parents was also hard.
"I stayed at the concert, and I think that is what made them the most upset," he said. "It was rough because it was the night before graduation, and they didn't want to ruin my whole day. But they were mad."
The Alcoholic Beverage Control, based in Topeka, assists the Lawrence Police Department in finding minors in possession.

Tougher Kansas MIP law
SEE MIP PAGE 3A
What happened: The Kansas Legislature passed a new law this summer that toughens the penalties for minors in possession of alcohol.
What does it mean: Those convicted of an MIP will lose their driver's license for 30 days, which may lead to increased auto insurance premiums or the inability to obtain auto insurance. The minimum fine for an MIP has been increased to $300, and it can go as high as $500.
What's next: Those cited with an MIP and a notice to appear in court may file for a diversion, which can cost more than $400 when courts cost and legal fees are added.

Web sites give students another way to evaluate university professors
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Web sites such as teacherreviews.com; profwatch.org; collegelfauna.com; and myprofessorsucks.com allow students from any college or university to evaluate their professors for the sake of fellow students.
Although the University of Kansas does not make end-of-semester professor evaluations available to students, several Web sites allow University students to post professor evaluations online.
Teacherreviews.com—the only site with reviews of instructors from KU—allows students to anonymously assign a grade to any professor or class. The reviewers also have the option of writing comments about individual professors. The site contained reviews of 19 professors and 21 classes from KU, with a B average overall.
Suzanne Hilleary, St. Louis junior, said she definitely would visit a Web site that contained evaluations of KU professors.

"I think it's a great idea," Hilleary said. She said evaluations would be useful in helping students choose which class
Hilleary said stu-

dents potentially could abuse an anonymous evaluation system.
Tatibha Plummer, DeSto sophomore, also agreed with the Web site idea.
"The downfall I see is if people go there just to rip on professors and not offer anything helpful," she said.
"Students pay good money and they should at least be able to voice their opinions." Plummer said.
"I think public information is a good thing," he said. "Students ought to be free to say what they want to about their experiences with faculty members."
John Gauch, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, also said he thought such Web sites were a good idea, as long as students who had the particular class or professor were the only students allowed to post evaluations.

Lawrence writer spins tales of Kansas ghosts
Gauch received an A-review on teacherreviews.com.
By Ryan Malashock Kansan staff writer
Ghosts have always been a very real part of Gil Bavel's life.
Now Bavel, along with his wife Alison Dishinger, will write a series of books about the history of supernatural activity in Kansas.
As a child, Bavel was swept away by books that described the supernatural. As he got older, the Lawrence resident's curiosity increased.
"I first got the idea for the books ten years ago," Bavel said. "I've been interested in the supernatural since I was little. The book is something that's just calling my name."
The first book in the series,
Kansas Ghosts: The Dead Walk
Bavel and Dishinger have researched and interviewed witnesses for the book during parts of the last decade.
in Kansas, will contain detailed first-hand accounts of supernatural activity in Kansas, as well as several surrounding states.
Bavel said writing the books would be easy and enjoyable because of the strong feelings he had for the supernatural. He also wants to open the eyes of
Dishinger, who is the photographer for the book, said illustrating a supernatural book was obviously challenging.
"Catching ghosts on film is difficult." Dishinger said. "They don't just come out for you, so I have to take pictures of other things."
"People tend to not believe in the supernatural because it's not socially acceptable," Bavel said. "Supernatural things happen that can't be denied."
One area Bavel still hopes to investigate before he finishes his book is the Oread neighborhood between 13th and 14th streets on Ohio. Bavel wants to search the homes on that street for supernatural activity before that area is torn down and replaced by University housing.

Bavel said they were still searching for a publisher, but that the book would be finished sometime in the fall of 2002.

Symposium to feature work from prominent metalsmith
The Hallmark Symposium lecture series will start its season featuring metalsmith Pat Flynn at 6 p.m., Monday, Sept. 10, at Spencer Museum of Art.
Flynn specializes in making gold pieces and combines traditional, contemporary, ancient and refined motifs. His work appears in permanent collections at the Smithsonian, Art Institute of Chicago and the Rhode Island School of Design. The event is free.
The symposium is in its 19th year and is a course offered by the KU Department of Design. The symposium is sponsored by an endowment from Hallmark Cards Inc.
Lois Greene, professor of design and chair of the design department, said some majors in design require students to attend the symposium events.
"What we try to do is give students as broad of range of contemporary design," Greene said. "They might see an enormous range of people working today."
The symposium lecture series runs every other Monday at Spencer. Future series include presentations from graphic, textile and interior designers.

Jury finds Topeka man guilty of murder, burglary and theft
TOPEKA — The sister of a murder victim cried when a Shawnee County jury found the man charged with the crime guilty of first-degree murder.
Prosecutors said Timothy Lee Wolf Pennington, 30, killed Gary Whitaker, an acquaintance, during a robbery.
The jury on Monday also found Pennington guilty of burglary of Whitaker's home, misdemeanor criminal damage to a safe in Whitaker's house and attempted misdemeanor theft.
Whitaker, 47, was last seen alive on May 21, 2000. Police found his body under the stairs when they were called five days later by neighbors who said intruders were breaking into Whitaker's two-story house. His throat had been slashed.
Two inmates testified last week that Pennington had told them he killed Whitaker because Whitaker owed him money.
Pennington will be sentenced Sept. 24. He faces a life sentence with eligibility to be paroled after serving at least 25 years on the murder conviction.
Three Topeka sewer workers die in construction accident
TOPEKA—Authorities continue to investigate a construction accident that claimed the lives of three workers in a sewer.
Autopsies were performed yesterday on the victims, who were employees of Emerson Construction. They died while checking a new sewer line in a new subdivision in southwest Topeka. The workers were pulled Monday afternoon from a 23-foot-deep manhole.
Authorities have identified two of the victims as 64-year-old Norman Emerson and 53-year-old Lawrence Salgao. The third victim has not been identified.
Fire Battalion Chief Greg Bailey said at least one of the men was from outside the Topeka area. Bailey said officials have shied away from saying what caused the deaths, adding that anything without the autopsy results "is purely speculative."

Leaders lash out at U.S. for ditching U.N. summit
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa African officials said yesterday the fight against racism was the real loser following the U.S. decision not to send Secretary of State Colin Powell to a major U.N.conference on conference that starts this week.
Across the continent, government officials and newspaper editorials voiced disappointment at the Bush administration's decision not to send a high-level delegation to the international gathering, which is scheduled to start to begin Friday in Durban, South Africa.
South African Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said, "It is a pity. I think this question of racism is such an important question, because no country, not even the United States, has been able to deal effectively with and eradicate racism.
"The United States needs this conference just as much as anybody else."
Nigerian Foreign Minister Dubin Onyia said the absence of the United States would be felt deeply if it decides to boycott the meeting.
"Decisions taken at the conference will be like a toothless bulldog if America is not there." Onvia said.
The Bush administration is still considering whether to send a low-level delegation to the conference after announcing Monday that Powell — a former U.S. military chief who was known worldwide before he became
The State Department said the decision was made in protest against Arab-backed "offensive language" in draft conference documents that accused Israel of implementing racist policies against Palestinians.
the first African-American secretary of state ___would not attend.
The United States has also been reluctant to attend because of demands by African countries for an apology and reparations for slavery.
Observers in Africa said an absence of senior U.S. officials at the conference would signal a lack of interest in combating racism.
Paul Graham, director of the Institute for Democracy in South Africa, said, "A high-level delegation would have signaled the United States' commitment to the global family of nations and to working things out together.
The United States sat out the last two U.N. racism conferences, in 1978 and 1983 because it felt the gatherings were a forum for anti-Semitism.
In Kenya, Gitau Warigi, a columnist for the Sunday Nation newspaper, wrote he was taken aback by what he called Israel's influence over the United States.
"What is this amazing hold that Israel has on United States policy that such a vital issue as the fight against racism can be reduced to a spat over a country the U.S. treats like a spoiled baby?" he wrote.
Consumers rate economy bad'
NEW YORK - Consumer confidence dropped for the second consecutive month in August, a sign of growing concern about a lack of jobs and unemployment.
The Associated Press
The Conference Board said yesterday that its Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 114.3 last month from 116.3 in July. The index is at its lowest level since April.
Stocks fell sharply after the report was released. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 116 points to 10,266 in afternoon trading.
The index, based on a monthly survey of some 5,000 U.S. households, is considered a key indicator because consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of the nation's economic activity. The index compares results to its base year, 1985, when it stood at 100.
The August decline reflects lower optimism about the economy, with 14.9 percent of consumers rating business conditions as "bad," up slightly from 14.6 percent in July.
The board also said 15.9 percent of those surveyed said jobs were "hard to get," up from 14.1 percent in July. The number who said jobs were "plentiful" fell from 35.6 to 33.4 percent.
However, the board also said there was an improved outlook among consumers for the next six to nine months. That optimism, bolstered by low interest rates and tax rebates, may be enough to keep consumers spending.
Layoffs have driven the nation's unemployment rate from a 30-year-low of 3.9 percent last October to 4.5 percent in July.
"You're seeing a convergence where people are saying things are not as good as they were before, but they also don't look as bad as we thought they were or as bad as we thought they could be," said Gerald Cohen, senior economist with Merrill Lynch.
Health insurers encourage use of cheaper medicines
NATION
Insurers are writing letters to consumers and doctors, asking them to reconsider their prescription choices and to call their attention to cheaper alternatives. They are also planning to substantially increase the co-payment for new drugs and medicines for which effective alternatives exist at lower cost
NEW YORK — Pharmaceutical makers spend billions of dollars a year to advertise their name brands, and to counter that clout, some health insurers are more aggressively trying to switch patients to cheaper medicines.
Prescription drug costs rose 16.3 percent last year and are expected to grow nearly 20 percent both this year and in 2002, according to Segal Co., a New York-based employee benefits consulting firm.
Pharmacy costs are climbing for many reasons, among them an influx of new treatments and an aging population that uses more drugs. But health insurers also point to the expensive marketing campaigns that pharmaceutical companies use to tout their drugs.
Health insurers say marketing creates a demand for drugs that have less expensive equivalents. The problem, health executives say, is that most doctors and consumers with employer-provided insurance don't realize the real cost of drugs.
Man arrested in connection with deaths of fire fighters
HOPLAND, Calif. - A man was arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday in the deaths of two pilots, whose fire-fighting planes collided over a blaze that may have started at an illegal drug lab in the woods.
Frank Brady, 50, of Redwood City was jailed without bail. A second, unidentified suspect also was arrested.
The two planes collided Monday near Hopland, about 100 miles north of San Francisco, while dumping fire retardant on the 250-acre wildfire. The crash killed retired Navy veteran Larry Groff, 55, and Lars Stratte, 45.
Murder charges filed in connection with a wildfire are extremely rare.
"We are investigating whether this fire was started as a result of a drug lab operation," Bob Ceriani of California Department of Forestry told The Press Democrat in Santa Rosa.
The cause of the collision was under investigation.
The blaze has destroyed at least 12 structures and threatened more than a dozen others. It was 60 percent contained yesterday.

University alumna recommends reading class attendance for college success
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Going to class, reading the books and meeting the instructor are some of the ways to succeed in college, a motivational speaker and KU alumna said last night.
Pearl Rovaris-McDonald told about 20 people at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union that everyone should succeed at learning. Her presentation was sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, HAWK Link and the Office of New Student Orientation.
She gave new students at the presentation advise on how to make it through college.
"Go to class. Someone will tell you 'don't go to class,'" she said. "They're not telling you the truth. It's where you learn your information."
Rovaris-McDonald said students should read what they were told to read and to read ahead. Meeting the instructors is also important, she said.
"If they know you then it makes you into a human being." Rovaris-McDonald said. "If you talk to the instructor they will give you insight into tests. If you care enough to ask, they'll gladdy give it to you."
The speaker used different activities to
get the audience involved. During one activity, students got up and asked each other information such as birth dates and what vegetable they would like to be.
"The reason I do it is you have to have your mind open," she said. "In class it can be nerve wrecking and incredibly boring. So wake your mind up."
"You can get caught up in what people think," she said. "You're not judged by one incident but by consistency."
Rovaris-MeDonald also stressed listening skills, creativity and self-esteem. If students followed her advice, she said, she guaranteed they would graduate from college.
Another activity involved students walking around the room and making observations of what they saw and what they didn't see. Finally, audience members had to imitate each other's faces and noises.
"Your job is to learn," she said. "Never lose sight of that."
She also advised students to write down their goals.
"Go ahead and have big dreams, because if you don't have them you won't reach them," she said. "And if they're not on paper, then they don't exist."

MIP: Alcohol offenses can lead to costly fees
CONTINUED FROM 1A
The 18 officers stationed throughout the state often visit cities with large student populations, such as Manhattan and Lawrence, Mlynar said.
Officers often visit around enrollment time, he said, when the weather was nice and students were outside.
Milnyar said officers went any- where large crowds gathered.
"Once a person's identified as being underage, our agents have the
option to write a notice to appear or book them into jail," he said. "We are nice guys—we prefer to write them a notice."
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office echoed Mlynar's sentiments.
If someone is issued a notice to appear, the person has to appear at an arraignment to enter a plea, Mlynar said.
At this time, a defendant had the ability to contact the district attorney or the
city prosecutor to file for a diversion.
City Prosecutor Tom Porter said a diversion was an agreement the defendant signed. It stated that the defendant agreed not to violate the law for a year. If a year passed without a violation, the citation would be taken off the defendant's record.
But diversions aren't cheap either.
Porter said a diversion cost $300. The defendant was also required to pay $27.50 in court costs, $30 for the diversion application and an $85

Rakestraw said he had pleaded not guilty and filed for a diversion. The total cost was $662.50.

More city buses coming to town commission says
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Two new city buses are leaving California on Saturday and are expected to arrive in Lawrence on Tuesday, Public Transit Administrator Karin Rexroad said last night at the City Commission meeting.
And the buses will be put to use right away.
The buses are the first of 12 the city has ordered. The new buses are to replace the 12 leased buses currently serving passengers who use the Lawrence Transit System, Rexroad said.
City Manager Mike Wildgen said. "They'll look like normal buses; they'll smell like normal buses; they'll work like normal buses."
The commission also voted to begin looking at the placement of bus shelters.
The remaining 10 buses will arrive in Lawrence in pairs of two and are set to be delivered sporadically until mid-November, Rexroad said.
Rexroad said information from surveys would be used in determining where the shelters would be placed.
He said the city had received a grant of about $500,000 to build the shelters, which would cost $3,000 to $5,000 a piece.
In other business, the Commission unanimously voted to use the next PerCent for Art project to recognize Langston Hughes, a well-known 20th century author who lived in Lawrence as a child.
Wildgen said the project could not be done until the current PerCent for Art project underway at Lawrence Memorial Hospital had been completed. He projected the Langston Hughes project could begin in late 2002 or 2003.
Mayor Mike Rundle said it would coordinate with Hughes' 100th birthday celebration next year.
Hobart Jackson spoke on behalf of the Lawrence Roundtable for the Arts. Jackson recommended the project be a plaque in Hughes' honor.
The Commission also proclaimed September as "Smart Growth Month."
Larry Kipp from the Friends of Douglas County stood before the commission to accept the proclamation concerning the city's expansion. He also informed commissioners of the festivals, tours and speeches during the month.

CLINTON
EDITORIAL
Chancellor should act quickly
Don't let tailgating decision drag into football season
Chancellor Hemenway indicated Monday that he hoped to make an decision this week regarding the proposal to allow tailgating with alcohol before KU football games. This announcement is welcome.
At Big 12 Media Day in early August, KU's new athletic director, Allen Bohl, announced this summer that he would pursue lifting the ban on alcohol at football tailgate parties. Since then, there had no official reaction from the administration until Hemenway's comment on Monday.
Bohl argues that allowing alcohol at pre-game tailgate parties is an important element of filling Memorial Stadium each home football Saturday. He has set full attendance at football games as his primary goal as athletic director.
Obviously, attendance at the first game of the season sets a precedent for attendance at future games. It would defy common sense to introduce a key element to higher attendance after the start of the season.
Waiting until next season is similarly disagreeable. Terry Allen, the head coach of the football team, has acknowledged that his job is on the line this season after several disappointing seasons. He has also identified bigger, louder crowds as a key to the team's success. If the policy change is delayed until next year, Allen will face his pivotal season without one of the tools he believes he needs to succeed.
It is possible that the policy will be turned down. The administration has to consider the possible benefits to football attendance and athletic department revenue against the possible danger to campus safety and the primarily academic nature of the university. Our endorsement yesterday of the tailgating policy change came with cautions to protect campus safety.
The football team scheduled to open its football season at home this Saturday against Southwest Missouri State, so an announcement this week is the only acceptable timing.
However, even a decision against the policy would be more fair to the athletic director and the football coach. They will work towards their goals knowing that they are using all the tools available to them.
The unfair, unsatisfactory result would be a delay.
The athletic director publicy announced his intentions at Big 12 Media Day almost a month ago, and he has discussed it privately since he was hired. If the administration felt it needed a forum for public comment or a large study on the issue, that decision should have come earlier.
The announcement should come this week, and it should be to allow alcohol.
Mett Hubbard for the editorial board.
PERSPECTIVE
Reader participation needed for fair, accurate coverage
The media are powerful. They have the power to create perceptions, shape attitudes, reinforce beliefs and incite action. While the media are busy being watchdogs for the public, the public must act as a watchdog for the media.
The same is true for the Kansan.
The Kansan staff is striving this semester to provide coverage that can play a large part in shaping your view of this campus and your peers, and it may provide the foundation for some of your actions.
It is for this very reason that you cannot afford to be a passive reader, taking in every story at face value. As a consumer of the media, critical thinking is a must. If the Kansan hopes to report the news accurately and fairly, then it's going to need more than just its editors and reporters.
As your readers' representatives, Jenni Valadez and I will help you do that. We are your liaisons to the newsroom. We represent the Kansan to you, and you to the Kansan.
one Kansan has a responsibility to report the news as objectively as possible. In turn, you as a reader have the responsibility of make sure it is doing just that, and letting the Kansan know how it can better cover the community.
Here's what we'll be looking for all semester. And here's what you should be looking for as well.
Reporters. Pay attention to bylines

Readers' representative readersrep@kansan.com
Accuracy. Is your name spelled correctly? Are your class and hometown accurate? How are you identified? When applicable, are you identified properly in reference to your race, religion, sexual orientation and gender?
Content. Did today's paper tell you about something that concerns you? Do you care about the news being covered? Why did a certain story make the front page? Are headlines misleading? Do the organizations and living groups you belong to receive adequate coverage?
and call them about mistakes.
Accountability is key to making sure your news is being covered responsibly. Pay attention to the contact information provided at the end of each story. You can reach any reporter by phone at 864-4810 or by e-mail at writer@kansan.com.
It's the little details that will make all the difference in the world to someone. This also means you should always be checking for corrections on the second page to make sure the Kansan is following through on correcting its mistakes.
Question the relevance of stories and pay attention to their placement. Check for adequate coverage in all areas of your University.
Images. Once again, the media play a large role in shaping perceptions. This could lead to the creation and reinforcement of negative stereotypes and labels.
Responsiveness. Are we doing our job as your readers' representatives? Have you contacted us about an issue and not received any feedback? Are the editors responding to your questions and concerns? Check out the letters to the editor and guest columns.
Everyone has a role in the development of the Kansan. How you choose to exercise it will determine how well the Kansan covers the news. You do your part. They'll be trying to do theirs.
Pay close attention to the photographs and the messages they carry. Check the ads as well. What kinds of images do they portray?

PERSPECTIVE
Ocean vistas of L.A. can't beat home
Being born and raised in the Midwest, the heartland has always been the center of my world. Small towns, good beef and friendly people are the norm. I had never been away from the Midwest for an extended time. So, when I went to L.A. to attend a film workshop for six weeks at the University of Southern California, I expected the natives to be accepting of the newcomer from the Plains.
"What are people like in Kansas?" "Springfield, Mo. where is that?" "And KU?" "How many people go there, like 1000?"
I was accepted with open arms, confusion — and lots of questions.
I was also greeted with statements like, "The Midwest has nothing," and "Kansas sucks." The only thing people knew about KU was that Eric Chenowith went there.
I found all these attitudes shocking because I expected people to know at least a little bit about where I came from. I had always heard that Kansas was fly-over country, but I had never expected people to actually know nothing. After this initial reaction, I was almost embarrassed to say I went to KU in fear of more dumb questions. I did not want to be typecast as the naive Midwesterner, so I tried to blend in. I donned a pair of chunky black sunglasses, board shorts and sandals, and I became a local.
I immersed myself in the land of

dreams that is Los Angeles. I quickly realized why so many people flock to L.A. and never leave — it is 75 degrees and sunny everyday, there is an abnormal amount of beautiful people and there is always something to do. By disguising myself as a local, I learned many important rules.
2. The coolest clubs have no sign, one door and big man with a clipboard standing in front of it.
1. They put avocado on everything.
3. You can get into the cool club if you are:
a. Wearing all black
b. With a beautiful woman
c. Connected to Tom Cruise by less than six degrees
d. All of which explains why I hung out at In and Out Burger trying to figure out all the secret meals that are not on the menu.
4. Most actors are larger than life on the big screen but less celestial in real life.
5. Never tell a stripper you have a debit or credit card.
7. Every person in the food service industry is an aspiring actor or actress.
8. No, those are not real.
9. The cheaper a piece of clothing looks, the more expensive it is.
But despite having the time of my life posing as a Californian, I began to miss Lawrence. For many of you who have studied abroad or had internships in big cities where life is exciting and new, returning to the mundane Kansas lifestyle is a difficult thing to do. But for me, seeing what I had been missing for the last 20 years just made me miss KU and Lawrence that much more.
Being in L.A. on my own was an amazing experience. I got to hang out at the beach almost every day and instead of being the only brown man in a 20 mile radius, I was actually part of the majority.
I have experienced the best of both worlds and I realized that Kansas isn't fly-over country — it's home. I realized I was glad that not everyone knew about Kansas. Kansas would become overpopulated and fake just like LA. But for now it, it's our little secret.
I missed cheap beer, every place being 5 to10 minutes away, clean air, nice people, real people and houses and shops without bars over the windows.

LETTER TO THE EDITORS
RECYCLING
Dear editors.
The opinion of Lindsey Hodel ("Campus recycling doesn't do enough," Aug. 23) echoes concerns about limited recycling voiced by others over the past few years. I thank her and other committed students for being interested enough to raise some of those issues. However, I suspect her perception may stem from a lack of information about how much the program really has grown since its inception. In five years, we've gone from handling about 30 tons of recyclables per year with one staff person to about 350 tons per year with a staff of 10 to 12. That's about 70,000 pounds of materials being collected by student techs and diverted from the local landfill each month.
Our coverage of the campus is quite extensive. We maintain some level of service in nearly every building on campus, and we've worked with Student Housing to expand recycling for several years, with our biggest expansion occurring this fall, our third year of collecting on Daisy Hill. Continued involvement by students with KU Recycling and environmental student groups such SEAB and ESSA will help facilitate even more growth.

Police advise keeping valuables out of cars
By Laurie Harrison Kansan staff writer
Andrea Marshall's first full week of school didn't start off as she had planned.
"They ripped my console to shreds," the Wichita sophomore said.
Marshall is one of the first reported victims of theft on campus this school year.
In 2000, there were 96 reported thefts from cars on campus, according to KU Public Safety Office records.
"I was shocked. I was really upset. You never think it's going to happen to you." Marshall said.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said there were ways students could
make their cars less appealing to thieves.
"Don't leave anything of value in plain sight." Bailey said. "If you have a detachable face plate on your stereo, detach it every time."
That's exactly what Marshall didn't do when she locked her car on Friday night.
"I was in the biggest rush that day and I didn't think about it," Marshall said.
Now she's left with replacing her compact disc collection, car stereo, registration and everything that was in her glove compartment.
"It's just a hassle that I don't really have time for," Marshall said.
lar precautions with their belongings while they were on campus.
Bailey said students should also follow simi-
"If you're studying in a common area, try and leave one person with your stuff if you leave," Bailey said.
He said the majority of thefts on campus occurred when property was left unattended.
"Don't leave items visible. Don't leave items laying out," Bailey said. "Even when you're in your dorm room, your door should be locked."
The KU Public Safety Office gave safety presentations to freshmen as part of orientation, Bailey said.

Man's body found in pool at apartment
A body was found at the bottom of an apartment complex's pool late last night, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Randy Roberts of the Lawrence Police said an employee of the Cedarwood Apartments, 2411 Cedarwood Ave., discovered a body shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday while he was locking up the pool. Police arrived a few minutes later.
Police were only able to identify the victim as a male resident of the complex.
Roberts said police would continue to investigate the death.

SenEx favors tailgating plan
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Senate Executive Committee members expressed concerns, but were generally supportive yesterday of allowing alcohol during tailgating before Kansas football games.
Reggie Robinson, counselor to Chancellor Robert Hemenway, solicited advice yesterday from SenEx during its first meeting of the semester.The committee is comprised of students, faculty and staff.
Hemenway and his staff are gathering opinions from University and city law enforcement about how he should decide the recent alcohol policy discussion.
He is expected to announce this week whether alcohol will be allowed outside Memorial Stadium before games.
Robinson said input had already been gathered from the Lawrence Police Department and City Manager Mike Wildgen, as well as from the KU Public Safety Office. All three organizations will be consulted further. Robinson said.
Dallas Rakesstraw, Student Senate representative to SenEx and Wichita junior, predicted that permitting alcohol would boost game attendance.
"Behind online enrollment, this is the issue the students want the most," he said.
Bud Hirsch, professor of English and SenEx member, said he was in favor of allowing alcohol, noting that he did not drink.
"I don't see anything wrong with fun," Hirsch said. "I don't think there's anything wrong with increasing attendance at football games."
Morris Faiman, professor of pharmacology and toxicology, did not come down on either side of the
Faculty discuss allowing alcohol
What happened: A representative of Chancellor Robert Hemenway yesterday heard the concerns of the Senate Executive Committee about allowing alcohol during tailgating at home football games. The committee supported the idea.
- What it means: Advocates of allowing alcohol at games say it would increase attendance. Hemenway wants to consult SenEx to gauge students, faculty and staff opinions.
What's next: Hemenway is expected to announce a decision before the end of the week.
issue, but encouraged a thorough examination of safety and control issues that would arise if alcohol were permitted.
"Some folks think it's a no-brainer," Robinson said. "Then, of course, I've heard some people say any consideration of this suggests we don't have a brain."
Robinson carried a notebook into the SenEx meeting to record concerns, which he said were wide-ranging.
"Every candidate we interviewed indicated they would have some interest in revisiting our current policy," said Robinson. "I'm sure this request is not peculiar to Al Bohl," he said.
Robinson said the alcohol issue was also brought up during the search for a new athletics director.

Killed racer's case still open
The Associated Press
IRVINE, Calif. — Together they appeared to be an unbeatable team — the drag racing legend and the father of supercross dirt-bike competitions.
But when the partnership of Mickey Thompson, dubbed the Speed King, and Michael Goodwin, the rock n' roll promoterturned-bike racing enthusiast, failed, it set the stage for murder, authorities believe.
Thirteen years after Thompson and his wife were slain in the driveway of their suburban Los Angeles home, police say Goodwin remains a suspect.
The investigation intensified in recent months when the district attorney convened a grand jury, and police arrested Goodwin but released him hours after he appeared in a lineup.
Goodwin has long denied any involvement in the murders and said he was being pursued by police and prosecutors who had ties to Thompson's politically connected sister, a victims' rights advocate.
"They will say and do anything to get me," Goodwin said in a recent interview. "I believe they will probably indict me. But they are never going to prove it. I didn't do it."
Thompson, 59, and his wife, Trudy, 41, were found shot to death at their Bradbury home 15 miles east of Los Angeles in 1988.
From the beginning, investigators believed the slayings were part of a murder-for-hire plot because the killers left behind
$4,000 in cash and the thousands of dollars in jewelry that Trudy Thompson was wearing. Witnesses said they saw two men fleeing the area on bicycles.
"Mrs. Thompson was killed first. Mr. Thompson was pleading with the killers not to harm her. It was apparently obvious to a lot of people that it was somewhat a message sent to him," said sherri's Detective Mark Lillienfeld.
Investigators began focusing on the broken business relationship between Goodwin and Thompson.
It was in the 1950s that Thompson set the first of his nearly 500 auto speed and endurance records.
In 1960 he became the first person to travel more than 400 mph on land when he drove a four-engine car 406.6 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
Thompson was a drag racing innovator, building and driving the first "slingshot" dragster. He worked in the 1950s to take the sport off the streets and onto sanctioned strips.
Racing accidents put him in the hospital 27 times. He was paralyzed from the waist down after a boat racing accident, and it was two years before he walked again.
As for Goodwin, he earned the title "Father of Supercross" in the 1970s when he moved outdoor motorcross shows into stadiums and arenas. Before that, he promoted concerts for the Doors, the Moody Blues, Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin.
Goodwin was Thompson's
partner in promoting off-road racing before a bitter breakup that led to a series of lawsuits between the two and a $514,000 judgment in Thompson's favor. That judgment helped force Goodwin into bankruptcy.
After the slayings, Goodwin refused to submit to police questioning and the case went cold until several years ago, when sheriff's homicide detectives were assigned to take a fresh look at it.
In 1997, the case was featured on America's Most Wanted. Investigators said a rebroadcast earlier this year generated new evidence. Lillienfeld would not give details, but prosecutors convened a grand jury in March.
Investigators then moved to put Goodwin in a police lineup, but he refused and challenged a court order directing him to appear. An appeals court ruled in June that he did not have to take part unless he was under arrest.
Jeffrey Benice, Goodwin's lawyer, said that is what prompted police to arrest Goodwin on Aug. 12. He was released the next day after new witnesses identified him as the man they saw shortly before the murders watching the Thompson home with binoculars from a Chevy Malibu, according to Benice.
Goodwin, 56, conceded there were hard feelings between him and Thompson but said they settled their financial differences weeks before Thompson was killed. "I had nothing to gain. It was over," Goodwin said.
Federal furniture costs cause stir
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Would you pay $250 for a shower curtain? How about $1,000 for a coat rack?
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office says it won't go on a shopping spree when it builds a new office complex, but taxpayer groups and lawmakers are criticizing agency plans to spend $64 million on furniture.
Complaints from the National Taxpayers Union and Citizens Against Government Waste come as construction is set to begin on new office space that will be leased to the patent agency for $1.3 billion for two decades.
But the analysis was a worst-case scenario, Maulsby said: "The point was to show we were going to be able to save money."
Sixteen House members are asking White House Budget Director Mitch Daniels to review the arrangement.
"The concrete may be pouring soon, and it's up to the administration to try and take a hard look at this," said Pete Sepp, spokesman for the NTU. "Whatever they do here is quite likely to be repeated as a model for a whole lot of other federal agencies."
New furniture is part of the plan for new space, which would
consolidate in a five-building complex an agency now spread throughout 18 buildings in Arlington, Va.
The agency also is seeking to be freed from government requirements that its furniture be built by federal prisoners.
Costly furniture purchase plans cited by critics — including $309 ash cans and $562 stools — come from a three-year-old analysis prepared for the agency.
Foes warn the project could generate more controversy than the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center, which was supposed to cost $362 million but exceeded $800 million.
The initial proposal included a dozen pages listing furniture expenditures, including 18 shower curtains for a new fitness center, nine coat racks for training rooms, 71 smoking-room ash cans and more than four dozen stools for various rooms.
"We've not spent a penny on furniture, and obviously, when we do, we will stay within the budget that Congress has authorized," said agency spokesman Richard Maulsby. "We are not going to spend $250 on a shower curtain."
The project already has been reviewed by the Commerce Department's inspector general, in federal court litigation and by the General Accounting Office, which reported in June, "None of these reviews resulted in a conclusion that the procurement activities had been conducted improperly."
Congressional foes point out that despite the agency's re assurances, an official justified the pricey shower curtain during a 1998 hearing, explaining that the $250 cost included a heavy-duty shower rod, mildew resistance and installation.
Furthermore, this worst-case scenario "has become the actual scenario," Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan., wrote the White House.
The agency "still plans on spending $64 million for furniture unless you can do something about it." Tihart wrote in a letter signed by 15 colleagues.
He added that new estimates show the space may be too small to house a growing agency.

Peace keepers confiscate weapons
The Associated Press
DEBELDE, Yugoslavia — Deep in the flinty mountains that separate Kosovo from Macedonia, American GIs in face paint and full combat gear lurk in the thick brush and peer out through night-vision goggles.
When suspected ethnic Albanian militants pass, the U.S. troops take full advantage of the element of surprise. "Freeze and drop your weapons!" they scream, bursting from their hiding places to seize arms and make arrests.
American forces may be playing a behind-the-scenes role in Macedonia, where only a few hundred are involved in support roles in NATO's British-led mission to collect arms from the insurgents. But they're on the front lines just over the border in Kosovo, intercepting hundreds of suspected rebels and thousands of weapons — a key demand of the Macedonian government.
"You cannot fight without weapons, and we'll take away as many as we can from the rebels," said U.S. Army 1st Lt. Charles Canon, 25, of Clarksville, Tenn.
During the past few days, U.S. troops with the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo have detained and questioned about 200 suspected rebels believed to have crossed into Kosovo from Macedonia, spokesman Howard Rhoades said.
The detainees are brought to Camp Bondsteel, the sprawling U.S.military base in Kosovo, for questioning. Most of those recently arrested were unarmed, Rhoades said, suggesting that militants of the National Liberation Army are keeping their pledge to hand over their weapons.
Macedonians have accused NATO of not doing enough to stop rebels and arms from moving between Kosovo and Macedonia. But Canon, whose men control a four-mile stretch of the border, concedes they can't stop every rebel.
"There are hundreds of small paths and tracks in my area of responsibility," he said. "Our disadvantage is that they know all the trails, since they made them for years. You walk on a trail, and then that trail leads to another trail, and that one leads to a third trail. Since we are here, and they can see us, they have stopped using these roads."
The work can be dangerous and exhausting, involving lots of surveillance work done overnight under cover of darkness.
In the Kosovo town of Vitina, just five miles north of the Macedonian border, Staff Sgt. Kenneth Chaney sat with other red-eyed soldiers from Charley Company after a night of hiding in the brush for "non-lethal ambushes" of suspected rebels.
"They know that if we catch them, they're going to prison," Chaney said, proudly displaying photos of a recent interdiction: 27 AK-47 machine guns, a 90mm cannon with six rounds, 43 rocket-propelled grenades, 19 small rockets, 140mm high explosive rounds, cell phones, cigarettes and clothes.
Since the operation began, the peace keepers have seized more than 155 assault or sniper rifles, 59 heavy machine guns, 65 anti-tank weapons and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, said Maj. Randy Martin, spokesman for the 5,400 U.S. troops currently in Kosovo.
"We are not here to help any war," Canon said. "We are here to promote the peace."
Deaths attributed to overworked research staffs
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Johns Hopkins University, one of the world's top medical research institutions, has come under fire regarding a deadly asthma experiment and a lead-paint study on poor city children.
The incidents have raised questions about whether medical institutions undertake more research than they can safely monitor.
After healthy, 24-year-old volunteer Ellen Roche died after inhaling a drug in the asthma study in June, the federal Office for Human Research Protections said, among other things, that Hopkins' review board was overworked.
The government shut down most of Hopkins' 2,400 federally funded experiments for five days, an action the university called unwarranted. Regulators are allowing the studies to resume one at a time.
Two weeks ago, the Maryland Court of Appeals condemned a study testing levels of lead-paint exposure in poor children by the Kennedy Krieger Institute, a Hopkins affili
ate. The ruling permitted lawsuits filed on behalf of two children who allegedly suffered brain damage to go forward.
In the study, landlords were paid to recruit about 100 families with healthy children to live in their homes during the early 1990s. Children—who can develop brain damage if they eat lead paint chips—were to be tested periodically to see how well methods developed to reduce the levels of lead-based paint were working.
All U.S. research institutions are required to have review boards by the federal government, which sets and oversees the guidelines
The review boards -which consist largely of university-affiliated doctors and administrators -are there to weigh the potential risks and benefits of various experiments and to make sure that subjects have been properly informed and have given their consent.
When an institution applies for a federal grant for the research, the federal agency — the National Institutes of Health, for example — generally does not get involved in oversight
of risks. An exception is when an experimental drug is tested on humans. The Food and Drug Administration then must approve the use.
Tom Tomlinson, a Michigan State medical ethics professor, said more resources needed to be devoted to reviewing institutional research.
"With the tremendous increase in the sheer number and complexity of research going on, it's becoming harder and harder for these committees to find the time they need to really look at these protocols carefully," he said.
Despite the university's problems, Dr. Jordan Cohen, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges, said Hopkins' reputation—and federal funding—were not threatened.
"I think, in the aggregate, Johns Hopkins is such a spectacularly successful research institution that it certainly deserves all the respect that it gets," he said. "There are always risks involved in any research, and bad things happen from time to time."
Museums don't display all specimens to public
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE—A wreath of human hair found in Lawrence's downtown museum, more than 100 stuffed warblers and a jar of preserved flat fish found in 1960 in the Persian Gulf.
Thousands of such oddities and rarities are kept at Lawrence museums but are rarely or never displayed to the public.
Atany one time, less than 20 percent of the University of Kansas Natural History Museum's 7 million specimens are on display in Dyche Hall.
Brad Kemp, the museum's assistant director of public affairs, said "There are some items that are never intended for the public to see.
"I'm not sure if everyone would want to see them, either."
For example, in the ichthyology collection there's a brown, 3-foot-long fossil fish called a coelacanth that lies preserved in a metal tank of water and 70 percent ethanol.
Andy Bentley, the collection manager, said the American Museum of Natural History recently donated the rare fish, found off the South African coastline. He said the species was 50 million years old and was thought to have been extinct if not for its discovery a few years ago.
"Now nobody is able to take the coelacanth from the Comoro Islands, except the French, because of an embargo," he said.
But Bentley said researchers hundreds of years from now could study the preserved fish and other fresh and salt-water fish in the collection's 28,000-plus jars. There also are skeletons, slides, drawings and X-ray plates of fish.
"In order for people to conserve the species, we have to look at them," he said. "We have a collection for people to use so they can stop diluting the population out there."
The museum's two exhibit aquariums of Kansas fish pale in comparison to the more than 400,000 fish specimens in the collection. On the tall storage shelves, a person can find a pipe fish found in Texas in 1908, Alaskan fish, including sting rays, sand sharks and puffer鱼 collected near Belize in 1991, as well as several uncataloged fish donated from a researcher's trip to Nepal.
There also are 100,000 specimens in the ornithology collection, a number that ranks the museum in the 10 largest university collections in the world.
Mark Robbins, who manages the ornithology collection, said he was starting to study more migratory and tropical birds in Central and South America. The collection already contains a large number of birds from the Great Plains, northern Mexico and the western United States.
The collection also includes birds dating back to late 1800s and early 1900s that are now extinct. He pulled out rows of drawers containing several passenger pigeons that became extinct in 1911, and green and yellow Carolina parakeets that became extinct in 1930.
"People would be surprised to know we once had a native parakeet population that nested in sycamores and cottonwood trees along the Kaw," he said.
The public will get a sneak peek of the museum's collection during the University's first-ever All-University Open House from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 6.

Waiving Palm fees
Pricey organizers keep some students loyal to pen and paper
By Louise Stauffer
Kansan features writer
Yeah, I could definitely see myself with one," said Michael Hibit, Overland Park junior.
Hibit wasn't talking about a fast car, a Rolex or a mansion in the suburbs. What Hibit wants is another status symbol commonly associated with the yuppie executive — he wants a Personal Digital Assistant, or PDA.
Hibit is employed at Office Depot, 2525 Iowa St., which sells many types of PDAs.
At Office Depot, the price range for these handheld organizers is diverse, starting at $129 for the self-described "basic" model, Palm M100, and rising as high as $450 for the Palm M505.
"The more expensive machines are more functional and include features like a color screen and having access to Microsoft Word," Hibit said. "A student could type up notes or a paper at home, transfer it to the

Palm and edit it in class."
The Palm M505 is also able to connect to a Nextel Plus phone, allowing access to an America Online email account.
In the Kansas Union Bookstore, only one type of PDA is sold, the $129.95 Palm M100. According to employee Nic Wood, there is no need to carry additional models.
"We've only sold one Palm in the last year, and it was to a KU cop," the Kansas City, Mo., senior said. "But I'm surprised that I haven't seen more people on campus carrying them around. They seem to have every other electronic gadget."
"I use it all the time to keep track of everything to a mail." Gobbauer said.
Wes Gehbauer, St. Louis sophomore, is one student who has a PDA and loves it.
- to e-mail," Gehbauer said.
Gehbauer has a Handspring Visor Handheld Visor Deluxe, which costs $169 and has student-friendly features such as five colors, an advanced calculator, an alarm to remind him when things are due, a to-do list and a memo pad.
Gehbauer got his Handspring Visor from his parents as a graduation gift, but he said that he would have one even if his parents didn't pay for it.
Cate Bachelder, Highland sophomore, will also soon own a PDA, but not because she asked for one.
"My mom has had one for about a year and is upgrading to a color model, so she's giving her old one to me," Bachelder said.
Bachelder said she didn't think she'd use it
Austin Grissing, Tulsa sophomore, got his Handspring Visor from his parents as a Christmas gift last year.
"I use it for organization."
Grissing said. "I plan out my day and keep track of homework assignments."
Grissing agreed that there was an image connected to PDA owners — similar to the yuppie executive.
"Sometimes when I'm using mine I see some people look at me," he said.
When asked if he would ever go back to using a paper planner and a pen, Grissing answered: "Probably not because a Palm is more convenient."
So, if Hibit can see himself with a PDA, why isn't he buying one?
"I don't have any money for that right now," he said.
Cost seems to be the main factor holding students back from purchasing PDAs. It is for Shirin Moshiri.
"It's too expensive when you can just write it down on paper," the Lawrence senior said. "Maybe someday I'll have

said. Maybe someone else one when I'm my own source of income, but right now I just can't ask my parents for that."
It seems that the methods students have been using to keep their schedules organized are still working just fine — at least for Liz Jackson, Overland Park senior.
"I have a planner and a little black book to keep track of dates because I like to be an organized person," Jackson said. She said a PDA just wasn't a priority for her right now, but it may be in the future. She said she didn't want one because "it would take time to get used to, like a cell phone did."
Jackson thought in a few years PDAs would be more common, like the cell phone is now.
"It's like everyone and their mothers have cell phones now. Maybe one day everyone will be carrying around Palms."

Bowling team gets the home it deserves at Royal Crest
My cable box was acting up Monday night and I couldn't get ESPN, so I channel-surfed to quench my late night sports craving.
A snow on Comedy Central caught my attention. No, I'm not talking about Battlebots. That show sucks, and its not a sport, regardless of what Comedy Central claims.
I'm talking about Let's Bowl, the mockery where people settle their disputes by bowling. It amused me long enough learn that a guy named Dave beat his fiancée Becky in a 117-106 thriller, and therefore could have a stripper at his bachelor party.
But unlike Dave and Becky, there's a group of serious bowlers at KU that have something more important than strippers to worry about. The Kansas bowling team has to try to find a way back to the national championships without use of its home turf.
The Jaybowl at the Kansas Union has served as the team's home since the team's inception, but now the Jayhawks have to look elsewhere. The Jaybowl's doors are closed until next fall while renovations are done to the lanes, so the bowling team had to relocate.
But bowling coach Mike Fine and his team are not deterred by relocating to Royal Crest Lanes for the coming year. His rollers realize how much they will benefit from the renovations.
"They all understand that this is just an inconvenience we're going to have to live with because they know the promise of what we'll get down the road," Fine said. "We'll be getting state-of-the-art lanes and one of the finest Union bowling facilities in the nation when its completed."
The final product will be a facility that the bowling team deserves. For starters, it battled to save the Jaybowl in January 2000 when a proposal to turn the alley into a cyber-cafe arose. The bowlers circulated petitions, gained the support of Student Senate and saved the Jaybowl.
It's also a little known fact that the bowling team has been one of the most successful teams at Kansas in the last five years. A combined squad competed in a nationally televised tournament in Las Vegas in 1999. The women's team went to nationals two years ago and missed last year's championships by four pins. The men have been to the national championships twice and finished fifth last year.
Senior Mike Keeler, junior Jesse James and sophomore Marc D'Errico return for the men's squad, and a successful recruiting season for the women's team all have Fine feeling good about his team.
And he should. They're getting a new home, they're gaining respect on the college bowling circuit and they're craving the national championship that they could taste last year.

Suspension gives Dyer start
Jayhawks to open season without two key players; team says it's prepared
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
Zach Dyer didn't see himself differen- tely when he looked in the mirror yesterday morning.
"Everything was normal," said Dyer of the first morning he knew he was a starting quarterback at the Division I level. "I guess it's just not me to change."
Dyer had been competing for the starting spot with Mario Kinsey, but Dyer earned the job by default when Kinsey and running back Reggie Duncan were suspended from Saturday's opener for an unspecified violation of team rules.
Dyer didn't look at himself differently, and the team didn't approach its game preparation differently yesterday as it readied for Southwest Missouri State.
KU
Kinsey; Will not start in Saturday's game
Running back Harold McClendon said the suspensions didn't come as a shock to the team.
Duncan: Suspended from home opener
"We heard rumors through the summer," said McClendon, who will likely see additional playing time in Duncan's absence. "But we didn't know for sure what would happen."
Coach Terry Allen said Monday that the infractions that led to the suspensions had occurred earlier this summer.
"It's disappointing to lose two of our main guys," said offensive captain Harrison Hill. "But, I think it's a minor deal.
"The big question mark now is which Zach is going to show up when they turn the lights on"
Terry Allen Head coach
One game and they'll come back next week. They're still practicing so they'll be fine. It shouldn't set us back from a development standpoint."
Allen, speaking with media for the first time since announcing the suspensions Monday, refused to go into detail about the infractions, adding only that the matter was between himself and the two players. He said both would play the following week against UCLA, with Duncan likely resuming his position as the starting running back.
Coach Terry Allen said Dyer performed well in practice Monday,but had
an inconsistent day yesterday.
"The big question mark now is which Zach is going to show up when they turn the lights on." Allen said.
Both Kinsey and Duncan worked with the scout team yesterday to help the defense prepare.
As Duncan was running with the scout team, Daniel Coke and McClendon split time at running back with the first unit. Both players are sophomores and have 10 career carries between them.
This will be the second year in a row that Kansas enters its first game without a key player. Last year free safety Carl Nesmith was suspended for violating a team curfew rule. The Jayhawks lost the road game 31-17 to Southern Methodist.
Hill said last year's situation was completely different from this year's, and that he did not expect a similar result.

Soccer senior ignores pain to keep playing
"It's a negative situation," he said. "But hopefully we'll turn it into a positive."

Senior forward Hilla Rantala awaits kickoff before the Kansas soccer team's exhibition match with the Busch Soccer Club. Her blond hair is in its traditional braided pigtails.
Braiding her hair has been a pregame ritual for Rantala since she was 14. The locks have earned her the nickname "Pippi" by coach Mark Francis.
With the regular season kicking off Friday against North Texas, Rantala has a personal goal in mind for the coming season.
Her uniform, flaunting the number eight, is clean—fornow. But with Rantala's aggressive style of play, grass stains will be inevitable in the next 90 minutes.
"Play 20 games. Stay healthy," she said.
It may seem easy, but not after what Rantala has been through.
After an impressive two-year stint at South Alabama, where she was an All-American candidate and the school's alltime leading scorer, Rantala transferred to Kansas and was promptly greeted by a nasty injury bug.
In her first game as a Jayhawk in 1999, Rantala suffered a fractured shinbone and high ankle strain. After missing five games, she returned and scored a school-record 16 points on five goals and six assists despite playing in constant pain.
The 2000 season wasn't any easier on Rantala. After appearing briefly at the beginning of the season, Rantala was granted a medical redshirt and had season-ending knee surgeries to replace a torn miniscus.
"It was really frustrating, and it was kind of embarrassing," said Rantala.
"People here kind of made a big deal out of me, and I really haven't done anything.
"That's one of the reasons I took the redshirt last year. I wanted to accomplish something before I retire."
Rantala, a native of Finland, scored three goals in the Jayhawks' two exhibition victories this season. Despite her strong performances, Rantala still does not feel she's at full strength.
"I am constantly in pain," she said. "I will never be 100 percent again."
Rantala transferred in 1999 after Francis left South Alabama and became the head coach at Kansas.
Francis said he was pleased with his relationship with the co-captain.
"This is her fifth year she's been with me, so she kind of knows what I expect," he said. "She knows how I do things. Hilla feels pretty comfortable coming to us about anything."
"We talk to her about communicating with them, helping them out," Francis said. "Obviously she leads by example. A teacher, almost."
Rantala's value goes far beyond her ability to find the back of the net. With three freshmen sharing time on the front line, Rantala is a role model for the newcomers.
Rantala's experience goes beyond that of her younger teammates.
"They call me grandma," she said. "Some of these girls were not even born when I started playing soccer."
With a nationally ranked incoming class, Rantala said she saw good things ahead for the Jayhawks this season.

Women's basketball schedule announced
By Jessica Scott
The official women's basketball schedule has finally been released, filling calendars left empty through the summer because of a glitch in the Big 12 Conference scheduling.
Kansan sportswriter
Coach Marian Washington said the schedule, officially released Aug. 23, was not filled with fluffy teams grabbed at the last moment.
The Jayhawks, who finished 12-17 last season, will have 15 home contests at Allen Fieldhouse, including exhibition games against the Houston Jaguars on Nov. 6 and Fort Hays State on Nov. 10. The regular season tips off against Grambling State at home on Nov. 16.
"Our nonconference schedule is certainly competitive," Washington said. "But it will help us get prepared for our Big 12 opponents."
After traveling to Creighton on Nov. 20, the 'Hawks leave for San Juan, Puerto Rico, to compete in the San Juan Shootout during Thanksgiving Break. Other teams competing in the Classic include Oregon, St. John's and Alabama State.
"We are so conscientious about keeping the number of class days missed to a minimum," Washington said. "Any time we can get competition over Thanksgiving, Christmas break or between semesters, we try to take advantage of that. Last year we only missed one day of class in the first semester."
Immediately after returning home from Puerto Rico, the Jayhawks will play host to the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Classic from Nov. 30 to Dec. 1. Other teams competing in the Classic include Oregon, St. John's and Alabama State.

2B • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WEDNESDAY, AUG. 29, 2001
Today's Birthday (Aug. 29).
The worst is over. The lesson has been learned, the routine works, and now you can cruise. Not alone, either. A person you respect and admire would like to be your constant companion. This person wants to inspire you with a loving kick in the pants when you start to get lethargic. Not that you ever do. You're more apt to need a tickle — to get you to play. Your friend would be happy to supply that too.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
Don't let your guard down yet. An authority figure could pop into your life at any moment, wanting a full report on your recent activities. Your homework had better be done. Be prepared!
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 9.
You're coasting. You have it made, but you
may not even know it yet. Be a student. Let a
special person teach you something about
love. All you have to do is listen.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. Business comes before pleasure again. Get serious. Do you have a retirement plan? Health insurance? Stop waiting for others to take care of you. Take care of yourself.
Cancer (June 22- July 22). Today is a 7. Sometimes it's nice to be told what to do. By somebody you trust, of course — some body who actually knows what they're talking about. If you know somebody like that, you're in luck. If they haven't already told you, call them up and ask.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5. You keep grinding through the same old routine. You should have it memorized by now. No point in resisting. You might as well get good at it. Looks as though whatever you're doing is profitable, even if it is a drudge at times. Think of a way to make it better.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8.
Follow through on a promise you made to a person you love very much. Be there when this person wants someone to talk to.
Being there is one of the most important things there is.
Q
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22). Today is a 5.
If you have company over tonight, have
them bring the food. Pot lucks are great. Or
maybe you could send out for Chinese. Don't
volunteer to cook a big feast or play host to
a slumber party for the kids. You won't be in
the mood. Better yet, take your mom's
advice: Chicken soup and lots of rest.
蟹

R
**Scorpio** (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Your friends can teach you a thing or two.
Whatever it is you want to know, just ask them. Money you send far away can help you achieve a dream close to home.
C
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6. You've proven you're a responsible adult and not just a clown. Sure, you have a great sense of humor, but you know how to keep a lid on it. Make it work for you, not against you. Don't make a joke about the boss's nose just as she's about to give you a compliment.
舞
LAURENT BOURDIN
SCORPIUS
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 9.
You could get further than you ever thought possible. You've hoped and schemed and struggled and saved up, but it might be kind of scary to actually get there. Don't worry. You can be counted on to come with another challenge. Relax and enjoy the view!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
Finish old business and stay awake.
Changes could come quickly and you don't want to be caught off guard. Keep an eye on the details and the bottom line. Keep costs down and you'll be rewarded.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
You are so cute! How can anybody resist
you? They can't, but you should still play by
the rules. True, you're drawing attention,
but don't forget that you're also setting an
example for the others.

SPORTS IN BRIEF Goodwill Games commence
S
The Associated Press
BRISBANE, Australia — The Australian men's swimming team has four world record holders leading a group of veterans. The American team has just two Olympic champions and a bunch of newcomers.
That should just push the Americans to work harder when the two teams meet head-on today in opening day action at the Goodwill Games, a $5 million meet bringing together 1,300 elite athletes in 14 sports.
Ian Thorpe won six gold medals at last month's World Championships in Japan, breaking his own freestyle world records at 200,400 and 800 meters.
In Brisbane, the Australian
said, he didn't expect to break any more records, "but I don't know that until I start competing."
The average age of the women's team is 18, including 13-year-old butterflyer Dana Vollmer.
In a rare change for the beach athletes, matches will be played under a roof and some will be at night.
Also starting today are beach volleyball and gymnastics.
First-day matches include men's world champions Mariano Baracetti and Martin Conde of Argentina against Stephane Canet and Mathieu Hamel of France; and women's Olympic gold medalists Kerri Pottharst and Natalie Cook of Australia against Japan's Ryoko Tokuno
After adopting new scoring rules at the start of the year, many of the gymnasts are using this meet to test new routines before the World Championships in October.
and Chiaki Kusuhara.
Track and field competition doesn't start until Sept. 4, but American sprinter Marion Jones indicated some athletes are circulating a petition to bar distance runner Olga Yegorova from competing in the games.
Because a required blood test was not done along with a urine test, Yegorova was permitted to compete at the World Championships in Edmonton earlier this month after testing positive for the endurance-boosting hormone EPO at a July meet in Paris.

'Huskers prepare for Troy State
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska coach Frank Solich is not worried about the No. 4 Cornhuskers looking past Troy State to next weekend's game against Notre Dame.
With the way the offense opened the season against TCU, the 'Huskers may not be able to afford to.
"We probably had more mental breakdowns in that game than any I can remember," Solich said during his weekly news conference yesterday. "If you have those kind of breakdowns, regardless of the physical talent you have or the physical talent that your opponent has, you're in trouble."
Thanks to a dominant performance by the defense and a few flashes of offense, the
Huskers held off TCU 21-7 Saturday.
Nebraska is home again this Saturday against Troy State, which is playing its first game as a Division I-A program after moving up from I-AA.
With an unknown coming in,
most Nebraska fans seem to be
looking ahead to 'Husker's Sept.
8 home game with the No. 18
Notre Dame.
Solich said the coaches were trying to keep the focus on this weekend, not a rematch of last year's overtime win against the Fighting Irish.
"When you're thinking about something else — other than what's at hand — you're probably not going to do very well," Solich said.
With seven new starters on offense, including three linemen,
Nebraska struggled against TCU last week.
Yards were lost on 15 plays, which Solich said was probably enough to cover one season. Eric Crouch was sacked three times and took a pounding on his 24 carries for 69 yards.
The 'Huskers will have a new look this weekend with I-back Dahrran Diedrick, who is returning after a one-game suspension after his arrest for a disturbance outside a bar.
Diedrick, at 6-foot, 225 pounds, is more of a power runner than backup Thunder Collins, who had 71 yards on 14 carries Saturday.
Collins will play some with the top offense, but Diedrick will start.
Oklahoma evaluates new offense
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — For the most part, No. 3 Oklahoma's passing game in the season opener last weekend consisted of short, quick throws, many of them to the running backs.
"It sounds like Josh Heupel to me," Coach Bob Stoops said yesterday. "That was our style last year some, too. Our offense is our offense."
But the quarterback this season, Nate Hylbl, has a stronger arm than Heupel and one of his strengths is supposed to be his ability to throw the ball deep.
"It wasn't intentional," he said of all the short passes. "We deeper routes that if he chose to go to them, he could have."
Stoops and the offensive coaches talked before the season about throwing downfield more often than the Sooners did a year ago.
Hybl was 20-of-29 for 152 yards and one interception. The statistics aren't bad, but the offense scored only two of Oklahoma's five touchdowns, and neither of those drives covered even 50 yards.
"There was some good and there were some plays you'd like to have back, but I'm sure there's always going to be that," Hybl said. "We have to make more first downs," he said. "We have to push the ball down the field and go on some sustained drives."
Offensive coordinator Mark
Mangino said Hybl did many things well, including making checks at the line of scrimmage. But a lack of patience on some plays resulted in Hybl throwing the short ball.
"We told him to sit in there in the pocket and trust the people around you that are protecting you, and things will work out. He'll get his reads," Mangino said.
Mangino also said he could understand Hybl being a bit jittery. Before Saturday, Hybl had not started a game since his senior year in high school. 1997.
The game was shown nationwide on ESPN, and Oklahoma won the national championship with Heupel running the show last season.
SOFTBALL Meeting Tuesday about upcoming walk-on tryouts
The Kansas softball team will have an informational meeting for students interested in trying out for the team. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4 at the Dolph Simons room in the Wagnon Student Athlete Center. Tryouts will be at 6 p.m. Sept. 10 and 11 at Javahawk Field.
Any student interested in trying out for the team must bring a copy of her insurance card and a proof of a physical examination within the last year. For more information about walk-on tryouts, contact assistant coach Aaron Clopton at 864-7964.

Chiefs boot Moses, Tynes; Weigmann has surgery
KANSAS CITY. Mo., — Wide receiver J.J. Moses and kicker Lawrence Tynes were among seven players cut by the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday.
Moses, 5-foot-6 and 178 pounds, had been among a handful of rookie free agents signed by the Chiefs during the spring. The former Iowa State player had been a crowd favorite during training camp in River Falls, Wis.
The Scottish-born Tynes, of Troy State, nailed a 58-yard field goal in training camp but was often inconsistent. He fell far short of a 50-yard attempt in the Chiefs' 10-9 preseason victory over the Chicago Bears.
Also released ahead of yesterday's cut-down day were cornerback Dyshod Carter of Kansas State, defensive end Kendrick Gholston, tight end Mark Thomas, guard Robert Hunt and wide receiver Geroy Simon.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs said center Casey Wiegmann had his appendix removed Monday. His role will be filled by Brian Waters, head coach Dick Vermeil said.
Vermeil said the Chiefs starters would play most of the first half of Friday night's exhibition game with the St. Louis Rams.
Rams head coach Mike Martz doesn't plan to use starting quarterback Kurt Warner or a number of other starters Friday night.
NFL says no progress made to avoid replacement officials
DALLAS — The first round of negotiations to avert the use of replacement officials for at least the last week of NFL exhibitions ended with the league saying no progress had been made.
Replacement officials already are signed and could begin working exhibition games as early as tomorrow.

Intramurals maintain strict sportsmanship rules to keep tempers from flaring in healthy rivalries
Profanity and disrespect can result in suspension from intramural teams
By Kevin Flaherty Kansan sports writer
Sports are known to create rivalries. Rivalries within the greek system and the dorms are prevalent, and although intramurals are meant to be a fun release, sometimes emotions run rampant and tempers flare.
To prevent games from getting out of hand, intramurals are putting a growing emphasis on the benefits of good sportsmanship and the penalties for bad behavior.
Punishments vary with the severity of the crime — from profanity to full-team brawls. Profanity is acceptable if directed
inwardly, if it is occasional and doesn't become habit, said Erik Schreiber, program director for intramural sports. Any profanity directed at another player on either team is cause for disciplinary action.
The intramural program will not tolerate is any exchange between a player and a referee, he said. Any profanity uttered at an official is an automatic two-game suspension. Schreiber said.
He said he thought the penalty was well-deserved.
"Sometimes players get out of hand and they tend to forget that they (officials) are just students as well," Schreiber said. "They forget that they are there to have fun and take out their problems on somebody who really doesn't deserve that."
After any ejection, the player is suspended indefinitely until he sets up a meeting with Schreiber, where the incident is discussed and punishment administered.
"Sometimes players get out of hand and they tend to forget that they (officials) are just students as well. They forget that they are there to have fun and take out their problems on somebody who really doesn't deserve that."
Erik Schreiber Program director for intramural sports
"It gives them time to cool down for a while, think about the situation and what
happened." Schreiber said. "Also, discussing the problem allows us to assess the severity of the situation and also catch any mistakes we may have made. We don't catch everything."
Matt Cobb, Overland Park sophomore, said he supported the emphasis on sportsmanship.
If the player misses the meeting, the player is not only suspended for the rest of the sport's season, but also for the rest of fall sports until the player meets to discuss with Schreiber.
"Sometimes games get out of hand." Cobb said. "It's kind of nice knowing that when you go out just to have a good time, some guy won't clock you because he had a bad test or something because there are consequences."

Seasoned bowling teams hoping to keep their success rolling
Men's team looking to top last year's finish at fifth-place in the nation
By Jason Hwang Kansan sportswriter
It may come as a surprise, but the Kansas athletic team with the highest national finish last year was the men's bowling team.
And the men, as well as their female counterparts, are ready to start what they hope will be another successful season. The men's team will try to build on their fifth-place showing at the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships, which took place last year in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The women's team finished sixth in the sectional tournament. Only the top four teams advance to the national championships.
Mike Fine, the team's coach, is in his 15th year with the team and revealed the keys to a successful season.
"To be successful you must have desire and well-honed athletic ability." Fine said.
The top six bowlers on the team compete in tournaments, from their home tournament at Royal Crest Lanes, 9th and Iowa streets, to as far away as Chicago and New Jersey. Fine said the top bowlers on each team were among the top 5 percent in the nation.
Three of the top six bowlers on both the men's and women's team return this year.
The men's team retain Mike Keeler, St. Charles, Mo., senior, Mark D'Errico, Rochester, N.Y. sophomore and Jesse James, Lawrence junior.
The top returning female bowlers include Nicole Mosqueda, Topeka junior, Kristina Boehm, Olathe junior and Tiffany McBurney, Albany, Ore., senior. Christy Distler, a third-year pharmacy student from Overland Park, returned to the team after a year absence because of shoulder surgery.
Fine said the members of last
year's non-traveling team would

Mike Fine Bowling head coach
have a chance to step up to the top open bowler spots.
"We return three top bowlers on both teams," he said. "We have a solid base of solid returning bowlers, some to rise on the traveling team."
Jesse James, one of the returning men's bowlers, said consistency was the key and that the team had to keep its focus throughout the tournaments.
can make a difference between a strike and a split."
"We roll 150 games on average a week to practice," he said. "We do this to sustain endurance and stay sharp. If you take a day off, you're hurting yourself. One inch
James said he appreciated the work of Fine. James said Fine not only taught the physical aspects of the game, but also helped them stay on task, focused and relaxed.
Boehm also credited coach Fine for her success on the team.
"He helps me to become a team player," she said. "He makes sure I keep up on priorities. School first, then bowling."
Boehm said the women's team would have a good chance to qualify for nationals. She said the team could be ranked in the top 10 nationally season's end.
Fine said that both teams were capable of winning the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships in April in Buffalo, N.Y.
"Anybody can have a goal to win it all, but we are starting to believe we have the ability to win the national championships," Fine said. "The best team doesn't always win. Only the one that gets a couple breaks and are on a roll."

Hollywood movie remakes revamp classic storylines
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—Cameron Crowe's coming Vanilla Sky is a reinvention of the Spanish thriller Open Your Eyes, with Penelope Cruz reprising the role she played in the original.
Down to Earth updated Heaven Can Wait, itself a remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan.
This summer's Planet of the Apes was a reimagining — not a remake, says director Tim Burton — of the 1968 sci-fi hit.
The Mummy Returns and Dr. Dolittle 2 were sequels to remakes, while 102 Dalmatians was a sequel to a live-action remake of an animated movie.
Fresh off his best-director Oscar win, Steven Soderbergh revisits Ocean's Eleven, the 1960s casino-robbery flick that
starred Frank Sinatra and friends.
H. G. Wells' great-grandson Simon Wells is directing a new adaptation of The Time Machine.
Often, however, Hollywood views remakes as easy money with minimal effort.
Remakes can put modern twists on classic films and introduce the stories to new audiences. Some are considered great.
Whether for honorable artistic reasons, crass commercial ones or simply because it's time to trot out some old ideas again, there sure are a lot of remakes kicking around Hollywood.
"It's like the music industry, where it's easy to capitalize on a hook, something Freddie Mercury sang, then throw a rap over it," said Jim Cavielez, who
stars in the newest The Count of Monte Cristo, due out early next year.
The Time Machine marks Simon Wells' live-action film making debut after he directed or co-directed such animated movies as Balto and The Prince of Egypt. George Pald a film adaptation of The Time Machine in 1960.
It was Wells' relationship with Steven Spielberg and his DreamWorks studio — rather than his link to H.G. Wells — that led to the directing gig.
He has worked with Spielberg since the mid-1980s, and DreamWorks is producing The Time Machine.
Wells said he never had a burning desire to adapt one of his great-grandfather's novels, but "it seemed too good a connection to miss out on."

Kansas banks on Floodman
1-800-2COUNCIL
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
The heat index was 106 degrees Monday as the Kansas linebackers ran through one of linebackers' coach Johnny Barr's drills.
Freshman Greg Tyree clutched a practice dummy. In front of him stood Banks Floodman, 6 feet 5 inches and 210 pounds of rage. When Barr blew the whistle, Floodman exploded.
"Go after him Banks, go after him." Barr screamed.
Floodman latched his arms around the blue bag, catapulting it and Tyree backwards seven yards.
Going into Saturday's opener, the 19-year-old Floodman, from Wichita Collegiate High School, will be the only true freshman to play for the Kansas defense. He will back senior co-captain and middle linebacker Marcus Rogers, as well as participate on special teams.
Barr said he had watched Floodman enough to trust him on the field.
Although some freshmen take their first season off to learn, Floodman will get his education by playing on Saturdays.
If he weren't up for the challenge, Barr said, then Floodman wouldn't be playing at all.
"I haven't played a lot of freshmen," Barr said. "In my mind, I think he is physically and mentally ready to play. I think he has a chance to be really good.
"But he can't play like a freshman if he's out there."
Summer vacation was unconventional for Floodman. Instead of spending his last few months before college relaxing like most of his friends, he was
cooped up in Collegiate's weight room from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. six days a week, lifting in the morning and running in the afternoon.
"Usually on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays I'd do
upper body," Floodman said.
"Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days, I'd do lower body, legs
and tris. And then I'd run five
days a week."
"That has basically got me to where I am right now,"
Banks is in excellent physical condition. He carries 5.8 percent body fat on his frame, runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds, leaps 34 inches from a standstill and bench-presses 370 pounds.
DONALDSON
Fred Roll, Kansas strength and conditioning coach, said "Banks is young, but he's got a real good motor.
AARON LINDBERG/KANSAN
"We have to build a base with him, monitor what he eats and what he lifts, but he's showed that he could play, so we're playing him."
Floodman arrived in Lawrence early, moving into the Jayhawk Towers on July 2. He moved to Lawrence for the summer to get acclimated with the Jayhawks defense and to start working with Roll.
He had always pushed himself, Floodman said, but Roll helped unleash some of his fury.
Roll said Floodman could put on 25 pounds and still be effective. The freshman has learned to balance his diet better since high school.
"When I first met him when I came to visit, he seemed like a pretty intense guy." Floodman said of Roll. "From what I had heard and what people were telling me, he gets the job done. If he says you got to be somewhere, you just do what he says."
Banks Floodman, top, a 19-year-old from Wichita Collegiate High School, will be the only true freshman to play for the Kansas defense. He will back up senior co-captain and middle linebacker Marcus Rogers and play on special teams.
Gone, he said, are the days of
rushing through breakfast, grabbing mystery cafeteria food at lunch and wolfing down burgers after weekday practices.
A better diet is part of his growth. And the growth he aspires to, he said, is a weight of 245 pounds.
"During two-a-days, I'd never been fed so good in my entire life," he said. "We had good breakfasts, huge lunches, big dinners and a snack at night. One of my main things is to eat a lot, and to eat well."

The Office of Student Financial Aid is advising students to consolidate any loans they have now that the government has lowered interest rates on all federal student loans to 5.99 percent, down from 7.69 last year.
This is the lowest rate in more than three decades, and it covers subsidized, unsubsidized and parent PLUS loans. The government adjusts the rate every July.
Brenda Maigaard, interim director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said students could save money when it came time to repay the loans.
Loans consolidated at the new rate remained locked for the life of the loan. Furthermore, student borrowers who file their consolidation applications by Sept. 30 will receive an additional 0.8 percent rate cut.
Maigaard said that a KU student with $15,000 in loans who planned to pay them off within the normal 10-year period would save roughly $3,000 by consolidating the loans now.
In addition to saving money, Maigaard said consolidating loans would eliminate logistical problems involved with managing multiple student loans. Students coming from
other schools can have one source for loan repayment, and when changing addresses, only one company would have to be notified.
"That is probably the biggest advantage to consolidation both for the student and for the institution," she said.
Maigard said students who might have trouble understanding the implications of paying off their loans, or what the new interest rate meant to them should begin looking into and trying to understand the situation.
"We want to get the word out that students should start thinking about this," she said, "but also to get the resources out there for them."
Matt Lippincott, Sterling sophomore, is a new borrower and didn't know about the decrease in interest rates. He said he hadn't thought much about repaying the loans but was resigned to paying them back for decades.
What the new lower rates meant for him was simple, he said.
"Now I'm going to pay until I'm 30, not 40." he said.
Students wanting more information about loan consolidation can contact the consolidation department of the U.S. Department of Education at 1-800-557-7392 or visit its Web site at www.roanconsolidation.ed.gov

KU student drowns in pool
Police think man's death at apartment complex was an accident
By Laurie Harrison Kansan staff writer
The body of a man found in a south Lawrence pool late Tuesday was identified as a University of Kansas graduate student, Lawrence police said.
Lawrence police are investigating the death of 23-year-old Georgie Athial as an accidental drowning, said Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence police.
Athial was a master's student in electrical engineering this semester, said Jill
Hummels, director of public relations for the School of Engineering.
He graduated from the University in May with a bachelor's in electrical engineering. Hummels said.
Police were called at 10:53 p.m. Tuesday to Cedarwood Apartments, 2411 Cedarwood Ave., after an employee of the apartment discovered a body at the bottom of the complex pool, Patrick said.
The pool was unlocked from 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
An autopsy was performed yesterday, but it could take weeks before results of toxicology tests are in, Patrick said.
Patrick said police had no reason to suspect foul play in the case.
"Nothing so far has been suspicious," he said.
Athial was found in his swimming trunks, said a Cedarwood resident who asked not to be identified. The resident also said Athial had moved into the apartments about two weeks ago.
The resident described Athial as a friendly person who kept to himself. She said he lived alone, and other residents had seen him swimming in the pool before to Tuesday.

Ethernet price increase upsets students living on campus
More Internet users prompted fee hike official says
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Students living on campus found they had to pay a little more for the ethernet this year.
Networking and Telecommunication Services increased activation fees for network ethernet connections to $14 - up from $10 last year. The increase raise the annual fee from $90 to $126 this year.
Amy Lindstrom, Wichita sophomore uses the ethernet connection in her room. Lindstrom said she not pleased with the increase in the price.
John Louis, director for networking and telecommunication services, said the increase was necessary because the amount of people using the Internet had increased. Louis said it costs more than $100,000 to supply the Internet to the University.
"As the users go up, so does the cost
"I don't understand why they do it." Lindstrom said, "I think it's too high."
Lindstrom said she frequently used the Internet. She said last year's rates were more reasonable.
"It's a little high, but when you think of the price you'd pay in a house, it's pretty cheap."

Louis said the with the amount of people using the Internet, the increase was

necessary. However, he said the increase of $4 per month was not too excessive.
"It's a super deal." Louis said. "There is no other deal known to man where students can get access to the Internet at these rates."
Ethernet connections are 20 to 50 times faster than a cable modem connection and less than half the price, Louis said.
Noan Ball, Anthony sophomore, said he wasn't surprised by the increase. Ball said although he understood why the price went up, he was not happy with it.
"It's a little high, but when you think of the price you'd pay in a house, it's pretty cheap." Ball said.
"Time will tell if we can implement that technology." Louis said.
It is unknown if the cost will increase again next year. Louis said they were looking into different technology to keep up with the increase of Internet use.

CAMPUS Three journalism students receive scholarship money
Three University of Kansas journalism students won awards and scholarship money in the Roy W. Howard National Competition.
Kursten Phelps, Manhattan senior, and Jay Krall, Bartlett, III., junior, each won one of four first-place awards. Leita Schultes, Rolfe, Iowa junior, received one of four runner-up awards.
First-place winners received a $3,000 scholarship, and runners-up received a $2,000 scholarship.
Each university can enter up to four in-depth articles published between March 1.2000 and February 28,2001.
The articles must be researched and written by freshmen, sophomores or juniors majoring in journalism.
Krall, sports editor for the University Daily Kansan, wrote an article examining the University's exclusive contract with Coca-Cola and the distribution of funds from this contract.
Phelps, editor of the Kansan, won for a ten-year retrospective of the election of KU's first black student body president and campus civil rights issues.
Schultes, managing editor of the Kansan, wrote about dog fights held by Lawrence youth.
The students wrote the articles as part of Professor Ted Frederickson's Newspaper Reporting class.
Jimmy Gentry, dean of journalism, said a combination of having talented students, good instructors, and opportunities for publication contributed to the success of these students.
"It's good for the school's reputation, and I'm pleased with the students' ability to demonstrate their skill," Gentry said.

37 states run checkpoints but seldom routinely
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Thirty-seven states use sobriety checkpoints to fight drunken driving, but fewer than a third of them do so routinely, according to a study released yesterday.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study said sobriety checkpoints may be the best way for police to fight drunken driving.
The latest study found 11 states Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana Kentucky, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia conducted checkpoints at least once a week.
The study said the 26 other states that conduct checkpoints set them up about once a month, at major holidays or when money and personnel were available.
Civil liberties advocates argue that checkpoints violate the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable search and seizure.
Yet the Supreme Court has held that protecting the public outweighs the brief intrusion of the checkpoints.
Law enforcement officials in states that do not conduct checkpoints often said they were too expensive and yield too few arrests to be worth the time, energy and resources, the study found.

Archbishop leaves wife at request of the Vatican
The Associated Press
ROME — The wife of a Roman Catholic archbishop said yesterday she had accepted his decision to leave her after the two met for the first time in three weeks, ending a saga that had embarrassed the Vatican and capitvated Italy.
"For the great love for my husband, I'll respect his decision," Maria Sung told reporters late yesterday. "But that doesn't change the feeling I have for him in my heart."
She said she would never be with another man and would try to support the archbishop in his work throughout her life. She said she hoped they would be reunited "in the after-life."
Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo and Sung met for three hours at the Arcangelo Hotel in Rome, where he delivered a letter to her explaining his reasons for leaving her.
"My commitments in the life of the church, with celibacy, don't allow me to be married." Milingo said in the handwritten letter, a copy of which was sent by the Vatican to news organizations. "The call from my church to my first commitment is just."
Sung's spokesman, the Rev. Phillip Schanker, called it a "wonderful meeting."
"Both of them expressed a lot of love for each other." Schanker told reporters outside
"For the great love for my husband, I'll respect his decision. But that doesn't change the feeling I have for him in my heart."

the hotel.
The case not only embarrassed the Vatican but also raised concerns that Milingo, once the head of the Lusaka, Zambia diocese, might break from the church and consecrate his own noncelibate bishops. Before announcing his return to the church, Milingo had said celibacy was poisoning the priesthood.
Last week in a prime-time television interview, Milingo announced he had left Sung, saying he had embraced Pope John Paul II's appeal to return to the Catholic Church and keep his vow of priestly celibacy.
Prison escapee guilty in officer's death
The Associated Press
DALLAS The ringleader of one of the biggest prison escapes in Texas history was sentenced to death yesterday for killing a police officer.
George Rivas is the first of the seven escapees to be tried in the Dec. 24 shooting death of Irving police Officer Aubrey Hawkins.
As the penalty phase wrapped up yesterday, Rivas urged jurors to give him a death sentence.
"What you call the death penalty, I call freedom," he said. "I can finally be free. I'm telling you right now I don't want another life sentence."
Both the prosecution and defense cited Rivas' wish to die in closing arguments.
During the escape, which touched off a national manhunt, the gang from the Connally Unit in Kenedy allegedly committed three armed robberies, including the fatal one at an Irving sporting goods store.
Jurors found Rivas guilty of capital murder Aug. 21. They had two punishment choices: lethal injection or life imprisonment with the possibility of parole in 40 years.
In a written statement, Rivas said he shot Hawkins because he thought the officer was reaching for his service revolver.
When others joined in the shooting, Rivas himself was shot twice by his own men.
Patients concerned after deaths linked to Baycol
BOSTON — When the cholesterol-lowering drug Baycol was pulled off the market three weeks ago, Joan Gedies' doctor prescribed another, similar medication. But Gedies hasn't filled her prescription yet.
Like many other patients, Gedies is suddenly nervous about taking any of the popular medications in the family of drugs called statins, even though they have been shown to dramatically lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack.
Doctors say they have been deluged by calls from patients since Bayer Pharmaceutical recalled Baycol after it was linked to deadly muscle destruction.
Bayer recalled the drug Aug. 8 after it was linked to 31 U.S. deaths and at least nine more abroad. About 700,000 Americans were taking the drug.
Baycol was tied to rhabdomyolysis, a life-threatening condition which can cause extreme muscle pain as it kills muscle tissue.
The condition is so severe that patients sometimes develop kidney failure.
Arafat calls off gunmen as Israel seizes town
BEIT JALLA, West Bank — Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat ordered gunmen to stop firing at Israeli forces who have seized parts of this West Bank town, and Israel said yesterday that it would withdraw if calm was restored.
The tentative agreement was reached with U.S. and European help, but did not appear to be taking hold. There were fresh exchanges of fire after 8 p.m. yesterday when Palestinian officials said the truce was to begin.
cars and sharks Israel sent forces into Beit Jalla early Tuesday to try to quell Palestinian shooting from there at the nearby Jewish neighborhood of Gilo, built on warwon land Israel annexed to Jerusalem
The Israeli incursion led to use of heavier weapons by the Palestinians. For the first time, 50-caliber machine gun bullets hit Gilo, and five mortar bombs landed overnight, causing damage but no casualties.
In Washington, U.S. State Department officials said Secretary of State Colin Powell assured Arafat in a telephone conversation yesterday that the Bush administration was pressing Israel to withdraw from Beit Jalla, just south of Jerusalem.
Powell also asked Arafat to help restore calm to the region, the officials said.

KU awaits ranking from 'U.S. News' on best colleges
But Cervany doubts the objectivity of report's placings
A popular question asked by prospective college students is "How does your university rank?"
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Alan Cerveny, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, is looking forward to the answer that will be given in the U.S. News and World Report's "America's Best Colleges" issue, to be published Sept. 10.
Although the University of Kansas often places high in rankings, Cerveny cautioned students not to take college ranking reports too seriously.
"Anytime you have outside organizations trying to rank schools, it's almost an impossible task." Cerveny said.
He said he doubted the objectivity of such rankings, a topic that has been drawing national press coverage.
An article published in the September issue of Washington Monthly questioned the methodology of the U.S. News rankings, arguing that the quality of education students receive was not taken into account.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he had read a New York Times article last week on the controversy.
"I think everybody has a certain ambivalence about national rankings of the kind that U.S. News does," Hemenway said.
He advises students to read such rankings with caution.
"Reputations rise and fall," Hemenway said, adding that public opinion usually lagged years behind reality.
KU's Past Rankings
U. S. News and World Report's "America's Best Colleges" rankings among the top 147 public institutions. KU's rankings through the years are (the lower the better):
2000:42
1999:38
1998:30
Reputations were an important consideration, he said, but they were nothing more than opinion.
The chancellor, with help from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, fills out surveys submitted by U.S. News.
A portion of those surveys asks for top administrators to rank the academic reputations of peer institutions.
Cerveny said students might have different criteria than a magazine's editorial board.
"What is ultimately important is how a prospective student and his family feel about the university," Cerveny said. "Each student will have their own criteria."
Last year, the University tied with Auburn (Ala.) University for 42nd place in the U.S. News rankings.
Hemenway said KU was expected to annually place in the ton tier of institutions.
"But we don't let the U.S. News ranking determine or substitute for our judgment on how we should create the best possible university we can be," Hemenway said.

Studies are more important than Hawk Week
Sorority recruitment should return to week before school starts
By moving sorority recruitment into the school year to free up Hawk Week, the University demonstrated backward priorities.
In change from previous years, sorority recruitment (formerly known as "sorority rush") is being held this fall on the first and second weekends of the school year, including Labor Day. Recruitment will culminate with bid day, when prospective members accept their bids, or invitations, on Monday.
The University has given various reasons for pushing for the change, but commonly cited is the opportunity for the women to participate in more of the Hawk Week activities. Hawk Week is an opportunity for new students at the University to participate in activities and get to know each other and the campus and begin to find community at the University. The administration sees these activities as an important part of building a University-wide community, which is a laudable goal.
However, the new weekend times for sorority recruitment are going to interfere with both prospective and active sorority women's studies. The activities last through each day, and the recruitment chairwomen and coordinators stay up through the night making preparations for the next day. The nature of the process guarantees there will be insufficient time for homework and studies — indeed, this is why recruitment has been held before school until now.
Sorority recruitment is a major event each school year, and it is always time-consuming for those who take part in it. It will almost certainly conflict with some activity, no matter where it is positioned on the calendar. That is unavoidable.
However, the University chose to create that conflict with the institution's primary purpose
Yet the University positioned it to conflict with the institution's primary purpose students' learning and education in order to avoid a conflict with a lesser priority, the building of a University community. Although the Hawk Week activities are important, they should not take precedence over classes and the education of women in sororities.
The decision has already been made for this semester, but the University should re-examine its priorities and return recruitment to its traditional time during Hawk Week next fall.

PERSPECTIVE
Protesters were inconsistent, but then again, who isn't?
Friday night's "Reclaim the Streets" protest saw the beginning of the end of the capitalist system and briefly delayed downtown traffic.
Protesters blocked off Massachusetts Street between Sixth and Seventh streets一 and the police let them.
The event became a block party, with people unloading couches from U-Hauls. Boy, they sure reclaimed the heck out of a publicly owned street.
They were there to protest everything from sweatshops to attention deficit disorder. Protesters wearing Adidas T-shirts and Nike shoes hung signs in front of American Eagle Outfitters — a company whose policy it is to not use sweat shops.
And to the Birkenstock-wearer on the front page of the Lawrence JournalWorld: Although your sandals come in a variety of earthy tones, a corporation still made them.
A pamphlet circulating at the action encouraged breaking down hierarchy and tyrannical top-down structures.
But U-Hauls don't rent themselves. And somebody had to organize this event. Isn't an organized protest the product of a hierarchical, top-down structure?
Debbie McAvoy, a barista at La Prima Taza, soI'd me coffee and described the protesters as "conform-

ists for nonconformity ... It looked like a wacky Gap commercial."
Later I hiked up to visit local activist Dave Strano at a residence known as the "Pirate House," 300 W. 14th St. I assumed I would be shunned for wearing Abercrombie &-Fitch-esque clothes. I couldn't have been in for a more pleasant surprise.
I stood around the kitchen chatting with Dave, who was in Friday's action, and activist Lowell Fletcher. I was struck by the fact that everybody did their own dishes. I haven't seen a sink that empty in a long time.
A nice guy named Paul was sitting on the back porch eating stew. He invited me up and described the house — a place where hitchhikers, touring bands or anybody else could crash for the night if they needed to. And it didn't matter what you were wearing.
Dave said the house was not a party house. He described it as a venue for
pands and the discussion of ideas. When the house does have parties, residents limit drinking — hence the lack of beer cans lying around.
How many fraternities, sororities, residence halls or apartments could claim any of these attributes?
Dave excused himself and apologized when he went to give a fork for his lentils — which he admitted were corporate-made. He argued his points with anarchist philosophy and liberal maxims such as "I'm not free until everybody is free" — which I agree with while I'm up here in my ivory tower. Lowell made his points with market theory and information about the World Trade Organization. He trumped the heck out of my free-market platitudes.
I don't know why I was so surprised, the barista had told me the protesters were laid back and friendly. I had never met Dave Strano before and who was I to judge him?
We all have inconsistencies, I guess. Dave and his lentils were just willing to admit it.
Later, I went back to my air-conditioned apartment and cooked a steak

LETTERSTO THE EDITORS
ST. LAWRENCE GARAGE
Dear editors.
The Kansan editorial board has made a grievous error. In the Kansan Report Card ("Our Lady of the Parking Garage," Aug. 27), the board failed the St. Lawrence Center's parking garage project because "Isn't there a better way to ease the suffering in the world than making sure people don't have to carpool to church?" This remark is so blatantly ignorant and condescending that I hardly know where to begin.
First of all, anyone who regularly attends services at St. Lawrence knows that the parking situation is absolutely atrocious. Why is it wrong for a church to collect money in order to build a parking facility that will make it much easier for parishioners, students and Lawrence residents to come and go? Surely this will encourage more people to attend services and have an opportunity to participate in the St. Lawrence community.
parking garage. A new building with classrooms, music rooms and other facilities to aid St. Lawrence students is also being constructed. Money will also be used for other purposes designed to enrich students' religious educations. Those who attend the center look to it for spiritual growth, and this project is one way to ensure that the St. Lawrence Center will offer superior Catholic education programs for many years to come. Some day these students just might help to "ease the suffering in the world."
More importantly, the Kansan is apparently unaware (or chose to ignore) that this project is also raising funds for far more than a mere

ice. Second, looking at the amount of money devoted to the building of the parking garage in comparison to the annual budget as a whole, this was simply an uninformed comment on how the St. Lawrence Center wastes money on creating parking space as opposed to feeding the poor.

Dear editors.
The St. Lawrence Center, unlike the University of Kansas parking department, is trying to fix its parking problem. Every Sunday, the parking attendants (including me), park and double park cars to prevent church goers from being ticketed. The City of Lawrence has been kind enough to allow us to double park cars as long as there is a fire lane in case of emergencies but the problem is still there. We need four times the amount of parking spaces necessary to provide adequate parking. So we would appreciate it if before making negative comments you would be professional enough to find out the facts.
By the way, the actual total being raised for the parking garage facility is closer to $6 million. Any donations would be appreciated.

Have you ever wondered why all the foot-

As if KU doesn't make enough money off of incoming freshmen, they're going to over-sell our parking passes and then charge us $35 when we park in the wrong spot. Uqahhh!

Hi, I'd just like to apologize to the professor of my 9:30 a.m. class this morning. Yes, it was Tuesday. Yes, I was hung over, and yes, expect more of the same.
I'd like to order a pizza with a stolen credit card, and by the way, have it delivered to my house. Thanks a lot.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the hippies that shut down Mass. Street on Saturday night are the smart ones because they don t pay $80 to wear a shirt that advertises for the company they bought it from, made by a 5-year-old kid in a third world country, just to be popular.
I heard a rumor that freshman girls like guys in backward hats, is this true?
Holy crap! A girl talked to me today.
I nanks to the new recruitment schedule, I couldn't study for my test on Monday. I got a 62 percent. It sucked.

You know, I'll bet the first convenience stores were nothing more than caves where you could buy sticks and rocks and microwave burritos.

I'd like to talk about the parking on 12th and Louisiana. The parking is strictly for tenants only — especially for residents with children — and people who want to park around the University should buy parking permits and park in their lots instead of taking up the parking for its residents. Thank You.

So I think to myself, "If I call the Free for All 50 times in one day, is at least one of them going to be published?"
I can'twait until all the students who call in the Free for All about partying have to leave campus because they failed out, and it frees up more room for all of us who are coming to school for an education.
Now that I'm back on campus, I'm considering investing in a pair of binoculars.

I'm an alumni, and I haven't been there for a few years, but dude, where was Free for All 10 years ago? This rocks.
What happened to the cute little Jayhawk who forecasts the weather on the front page of the Kansan?
I could care if they sell alcohol in the stadium. It's cheaper if I bring my own in.
Instead of attacking each other back and forth, I propose that we listen to and respect each other's opinions. We can learn a lot from each other.
Lawrence could be a lot more liberal and open-minded if we put a wall between here and Johnson County.

Team to set tone in tournament
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's volleyball team's performance this weekend at a tournament in Charlotte, N.C., could set the tone for the coming season.
The Jayhawks hope to dominate in nonconference play the same way they did in their 9-0 start last year.
"The field is not going to overwhelm us," coach Ray Bechard said at the team's annual media day yesterday at the Wagnon Student Athlete Center. "We'll see a range that allows us to play a lot of people. The tournament is a good fit for the composition of our team."
However, Bechard remained realistic.
"If we don't play well, we'll be
in trouble," he said.
Beachard's squad will use more ball control and defense this season. The team lost Nancy Bell, Amy Myatt and Danielle Geronym, who combined to produce 67 percent of the team's kills last year.
"We don't have to rely on stopping the ball at the net," Bechard said. "But if the net defense does a good job, it will let the back set up and help."
Senior setter Molly LaMere was excited for her team — the defense in particular.
"The defensive specialists have been working so hard," she said. "We are lucky enough to have three good defensive specialists."
Bechard believed the team could match, if not surpass, last year's record.
"We've gotten better each year," he said. "But that hasn't always showed up in the standings."
Freshman outside hitter Danielle McHenry was named Kansas Volleyball Player of the Year after her senior season at Shawnee Heights High School in Topeka.
"She's going to step right in," Bechard said. "She's been a winner at every level."
After the tournament, Kansas plays host to an improved Wichita State team Sept. 5 at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Hampton Inn/Jayhawk Classic Tournament begins Sept. 7 with guests Montana, Georgia Southern and University of Portland.

Football team hit by off-field troubles for three long years
The more things change around here, the more they stay the same.
This Jayhawk football season was going to be different. There were the seven new assistant coaches. There was new Kansas athletics director Allen Bohl. There are supposed to be fans, even if bribes like alcohol during tailgating are necessary.
But when it comes down to it, the Jayhawks will start this season in the same flimsy fashion that they started the last two; with key players watching from the side-line because of an off-the-field incident.
Commentary
Michael Rigg
Sports Columnist
sportskanans.com
1958
Two years ago, three Jayhawks didn't play when Kansas received a 48-13 thrashing against Notre Dame. Last season, preseason All-American safety Carl Nesmith watched the Southern Methodist game from the sidelines, a 51-17 embarrassment.
Now, there's the latest round, where quarterback Mario Kinsey and starting running back Reggie Duncan will miss Saturday's season opener for an "unspecified violation of team rules." Allen refused to disclose any information about the latest suspension, but both are under investigation by the KU Public Safety Office for stealing a purse and making purchases with a stolen credit card.
Seemingly every opener, a Jayhawk sits out. Every opener Kansas looks unimpressive on the field. Every opener, the Jayhawks lose more fans because certain members of the team need Allen to put them on a leash. In a program so lacking for an identity, the only defining traits are mediocre football and even worse behavior.
But Allen — the embattled captain of the Jayhawk ship — refuses to shoulder any of the blame for his program's tarnished state. Instead, he blames it on an apparent nationwide discipline deficiency.
"You worry about the image," Allen said. "But if you look around the country, we have a discipline problem today."
Allen may be right about the national phenomenon. Pittsburgh wide receiver Antonio Bryant was busted for using a stolen credit card to purchase airline tickets, but he won't miss any playing time. Nebraska I-back Dahrran Diedrick missed last week's game against Texas Christian because of his role in an off-campus altercation.
Yes, other programs have their share of problems. But why does it keep happening at Kansas?
Ideally, you would have liked to have seen Allen tighten the reigns after former defensive lineman Dion Rayford wedged himself into a Taco Bell window chasing a missing chalupa. The national headlines Rayford made should have made Allen create a "zero-tolerance" policy. Instead, all we got were more suspensions and embarrassments, not to mention some pretty funny chalupa jokes.
Perhaps Allen is too nice and desperate to make sure the off-the-field incidents stop, despite his disciplinarian spin on the latest suspension.
"People have to understand that we're going to stand up for what's right," Allen said.
But it's too bad that didn't happen sooner, which could have saved a third year of the same old story.

Players suspected in theft

The Kansas football players suspended for this Saturday's home game for breaking "unspecified team rules," were identified as suspects in a June 12 pursue snatching, said Christine Kenney, Douglas County district attorney

Mario Kinsey, left, and Reggie Duncan both are suspended from Saturday's opening game.
The players were identified as running back Reggie Duncan and quarterback Mario Kinsey.
A KU Public Safety Office crime log confirmed that between 10:25 and 10:40 a.m. June 12, a purse was stolen outside Bailey Hall, 1440 Jayhawk Blvd.
The stolen items in the puse and the puse were valued at $191.84, including a purchase made with a credit card.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office could not
comment on the incident because he had already sent reports to the district attorney's office. Officers are restricted from speaking about a case once it has been filed with the district attorney's office, Bailey said.
Kenney said she will meet with the victim, identified as Lindsay Douglas, Chesterfield, Mo., senior, to determine whether to file
"I want to sit down and meet with her before we decide whether or not to proceed," Kenney said.
charges.
Douglas could not be reached for comment yesterday.
The suspensions were announced at a team meeting last weekend. Coach Terry Allen said on his radio show Monday that the suspension stemmed from an incident this summer, but he did not say when he informed the athletes that they would begin the season suspended.
Last season, defensive back Carl Nesmith was suspended hours before the season's opener against Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
"The timing of the suspension was a negative situation for our
football team," Allen said of Nesmith's suspension.
Allen said he wanted his team to be prepared for the news so they could focus on this weekend's opponent instead of the troubles of their teammates.
"We knew the suspensions were forth coming, so we wanted to alert our football team of it a week out so that they could mentally prepare for that," Allen said.
Doug Vance, sports information director, declined to comment on whether the suspension was a result of the purse theft incident.
"We're sticking with our statement in the press release," Vance said. "They were suspended for violating team rules."

Cross country athlete hopes last year's injuries will heal in time for this season
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
Mark Meneefe hopes to resume creating a legacy for himself in the Kansas cross country record books, injured foot or not.
After a productive 2000 cross country season, the junior runner lined up in a 3,000-meter duel at an indoor track meet in December against two teammates who went on to earn All-American honors in the spring.
Meneefee ran just a second behind the NCAA runner-up in the indoor mile, Charlie Gruber, and 12 seconds ahead of the fourthplace finisher in the NCAA 3000-meter steeplechase, Andy Tate.
The pain in Menefee's foot started to escalate as he cooled down after the race.
The day after the meet, Menefee's pain was almost unbearable. Plantar fasciitis was diagnosed, which is the partial tearing of the connective tissue on the bottom of the foot between the heel and the toes. The injury is common for runners.
Menefee could sit out early in meets this fall, but he hopes to be ready for the conference and district meets at the end of October.
"The guys are looking great and I'm feeling good, so there's no reason I can't compete," he said.
Meneefee made several comeback attempts in the spring, getting cortisone shots and trying to run on the injured foot. Nothing alleviated the pain.
This summer, he and assistant coach Doug Clark had to come to a difficult decision - run through the discomfort or write off a promising cross country season.
"Sometimes things happen, but we just have to make the best of the time we have and train as hard as we can now and not think about what might happen," Menefee said.
"I definitely took into consideration the
team's chances for nationals when I was deciding what to do this season," Meneefee said. "And it wasn't a hard decision to make at all."
Meneefee's career as a collegiate athlete has not exactly gone according to plan. He studied in Belgium for a year after graduating from high school in 1997. After a year at Hutchinson Community College, he injured his ilio tibial band, a group of fibers in his knee, while training to tryout for the Kansas team.
Undaunted, he resumed training a couple months later only to have upper respiratory problems in the winter, effectively ending his indoor track campaign.
A turning point came at the Kansas Relays in April 2000, where Menefee won the 5000-meter run. Heading into the Big 12 championships, Menefee was ranked ninth in the always-tough 5000 but knew he would fare much better than that.
he seemed an opportunist.
"If we get to lap seven and these guys aren't going any faster, then I'm justgoing to go," he said.
In the middle of a tactical race, Menefee said he sensed an opportunity forming.
Possibly assuming that the no-name guy from Kansas would falter, the other runners let Menefee go. And he went, unimpeded to a conference championship and a personal best at 5000 meters.
Senior runner Brent Behrens said the team was counting on Menefee for the upcoming season.
"He's one of our best runners, probably one of the most talented runners on the team. We need him to have a really good shot at nationals."

Musicians sound off on the best party music

Todd Wilkins can't remember the last time he went to a house party where a DJ was playing.
Free State Band members, from left, Tim Bradley, Lawrence, Andrew Neukirch, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore, Justin Hosek, Lawrence sophomore, Chris Reinhard, Lawrence sophomore, and David Gnojek, Lawrence senior, rehearse in the basement of the Hosek family home. The group has been playing together for three months.
Wilkins, 19, said he goes to parties about once a week, but won't step foot in a house without a live band.
J. E.WILSON/KANSAN
"There must be a band playing or else I won't go," he said. "Live music just makes things more entertaining."
KU students and younger Lawrence residents bring their share of musical tastes and talents to theLawrence party scene. While some—like Wilkins—prefer bands at parties, others prefer dancing all night long to the beats of a DJ.
"DJS have a broader variety of music and just a different sound." Tisha Warner, Florence sophomore, said. "Plus, they take up less space."
space With electronic music becoming increasingly popular among both producers and listeners, and with anything from house to hip hop thrown into the mix, many area DJs are finding ample opportunities to play weekend house parties.
Marcus Flores, Kansas City junior, has been involved in the Lawrence electronic scene for nearly four years. He's also thrown his share of house parties and recognizes a good

"What's funny is that people go to house parties and (the DJs) are just background music." Flores said. "And then they can go out to clubs in KC and can see the same DJ playing. Normally you'd have to pay to listen to some of the music you hear at parties in Lawrence."
Lawrence is ripe with internationally acclaimed DJs, many house parties are well worth the cover charge.

"I've noticed that DJs are showing up more and more at parties than live bands," Erbmann said. "They have more to work with and can set the music to the crowd, while a band plays their songs and it's always what they sound like."
Shaun Fortuna, rhythm guitarist for the band Six Year Sophomore, said he thought bands like his could be just as versatile as DJs at house parties.
"When people go to a party with a DJ, they're usually there to drink and to dance," Fortuna, a Parkville, Mo., Junior, said. "If you have

there are all types of images you can portray from country western to heavy metal.
"Also, when a band is up on stage performing, that's an event in itself. Inside a party you can drink and you can dance, but when there's a band you may just want to stand there and watch."
"A band's good at a party 'cause they bring energy and personality," said Justin Hosek, 19-year-old bass player for Free State Band said. Although his bias may be toward live musicians as opposed to mixers, he believes the union of the two makes for the best entertainment.
"People like DJs and people like bands." Hosek said. "So if you put everything on stage people like, more people will come."
Flores has combined both DJs and bands at parties in the past, and agrees that the pairing is beneficial for both the artists and the audience.
"Some people just have to see someone doing something, and having band members play guitar with DJs in the background makes people realize that DJing really is live music." Flores said. "Live bands will be around forever, but dance music and rock 'n' roll are just different. Putting the two together makes for the perfect party and gets everyone involved."

' Jay and Silent Bob' crude, dumb, yet still hilarious
By Brandon Stinnett Jayplay writer
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is a relentlessly crude movie that has no real plot and main characters who aren't interesting. It has one redeeming quality — it's undeniably funny — and that alone makes it worthwhile.
It's not always funny, though. Some of the gags fall flat. But they work often enough to keep it entertaining.
The movie, written and directed by Kevin Smith, is the first starring Jay and Silent Bob, the same pair of stoners who have shown up in all of Smith's movies (Clerks, Mall Rats, Chasing Amy and Dogma).
It pays homage to all of the previous Smith films, with characters from each showing up throughout.
Commentary
Brandon Stinnett
Columnist
jayplayksansan.com
The story follows Jay and Silent Bob,
who, after spending their entire lives standing outside a New Jersey convenience store (the same store that appears in Clerks), learn that a comic book based on their lives called Bluntman and Chronic has been sold to Miramax and is being made into a movie.
The hapless losers embark on a cross-country journey to Hollywood to shut down the movie's production. On the way, they encounter many interesting people, including a veteran hitchhiker played by George Carlin and a group of beautiful jewel thieves who bring them along on a heist.
- One star: Bad
- Two stars: Average
- Three stars: Good
- Four stars: Excellent
Movie rating explanation
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back isn't profound and it isn't even always funny. But it evokes just enough laughter to serve as a passable diversion and put a smile on your face.
Two-and-a-half stars.
■ Stinnett's movie review column appears in the *Kansan* each week. Contact Stinnett at jayplay@kansan.com.
Best and worst
Great movie of the week: Dumb and Dumber, starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Another movie about two nimrods on a cross-country journey. This is still one of the funniest movies I've seen. Just thinking about many of the movie's hilarious site gags still makes me laugh out loud. A true classic comedy.
Bad movie of the week: What Lies Beneath, starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. The only thing scary about What Lies Beneath is watching two proven stars act in such a bad movie. Scenes that are supposed to be suspenseful at the end of the movie succeed only in evoking laughter. A big disappointment.
K.C. symphony to perform Labor Day concert
By Nicole Roché
Javplay writer
With hectic schedules, snarled traffic and a new semester of classes to endure, students may be looking for some relaxation this week.
Sarah Shmigelsky, public relations associate for the Kansas City Symphony, said Monday's Labor Day concert might be the perfect solution for stressed-out students.
"You've always got to take time out of your busy schedule to do something relaxing and entertaining," Shmigelsky said.
The symphony will perform outdoors at the Shawnee Mission Theater. The Johnson County Parks and Recreation is sponsoring the 19th-annual concert event.
The theme of the concert changes annually, and this year's theme is "Wild, Wild West."
"The symphony will be performing a lot of pieces that people will recognize, but they may not know the names of," Shmigelsky said.
The Kansas City Symphony is comprised of 78 full-time musicians. The group
is scheduled to perform 38 classical and 14 pop concerts this season, including the one during the holiday weekend.
Shmigelsky noted that this concert should be an entertaining experience for just about anyone, not just classical music buffs.
Kevin McGrath, Kansas City sophomore, remembers hearing the Kansas City Symphony perform at Kemper Arena.
"I saw them perform with Led Zeppelin when I was in the sixth grade," McGrath said. "They played a 20 or 30 minute version of 'Kashmir." It was awesome."
McGrath said anyone interested in classical music should attend the concert.
"I don't really listen to classical music, but even I would consider going and hearing them again," he said.
Tickets are still available at $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 4-12.

Players bowl to settle grudges
The Associated Press
WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minn. — As organ music blares, two contestants prepare to settle their grudge match on the bowling lanes. On cue, the crowd in the bleachers cheers.
Two women in tiaras and sequined red dresses the Queen Pins rotate a giant bowling pin to reveal the competitors.
The bowlers square off to settle a dispute and win a chance at the grand prize — a 1973 Dodge Charger or a used snowmobile.
Yes, it's time to play Let's Bowl, a show that looks for laughs between the gutter balls.
After six years of bouncing around Minnesota television stations, Let's Bowl now airs Sundays at 10:30 p.m. EDT on Comedy Central. The half-hour show has a prime slot between The Man Show and South Park.
Let's Bowl features a regular 10-frame game with the action in some frames condensed to a recap. When a polka-dotted kingpin appears in a "polka frame," the bowler who rolls a strike wins 500 pounds of Polish sausage or a quarter-cow.
Once per game, a bowler can use the "distraction option" and blow an air horn to rattle the other contestant.
In one installment of Let's Bowl, bowlers Tim Carnahan and Gregg Mau settled their disagreement that stemmed from Mau loaning Carnahan a station wagon so he could get to the child-care center where they both work.
Problem was: The battery died and the tickets started piling up.
Carnahan insisted he shouldn't have to pay them. But Man won the game.
"The best thing about this show is that we don't have to talk about this anymore." Carnahan says.
Tim Scott, 36, created Let's Bowl and co-produces the show with Rich Kronfeld. Scott had previous TV experience as a technical supervisor on Mystery Science Theater 3000, the defunct Twin Cities-based series formerly carried by Comedy Central.
Now picking up Let's Bowl for 10 weeks, Comedy Central has caught on to what Scott knew all along: "Knocking stuff over, it's just inherently fun."

College rooms: Encounters of the sexual kind
So, you finally got up the courage and invited that hottie you've been eyeing the first week of class on a date.
If things go right, you might end up somewhere swapping romantic nothings—and maybe a little spit.
Commentary
That somewhere might be in your room, so are you ready?
Meghan Bainum
Sex Columnist
jayplaykawansan.com

Although parents barging in and killing the mood probably won't be a problem, there are other things just as good at turning what could have been a hot night into a lukewarm goodbye.
Granted, most college students can't afford the vibrating Vegas king bed with a wet bar or the $1,000 stereo and entire Luther Vandross CD set, but there are things that even a dorm room-bound lover can do to make the place less like a prison and more like a love palace.
First, think about what your object of affection's first impression of your living space will be.
Dirty underwear on the floor? Kick it under the bed. Burnt-popcorn stink in the air? Light a candle or buy a wall plug. Nasty porn on the wall? Well, depending on how well you know the
person you're bringing home either take it down or make it more visible.
And textbooks are definite mood killers, unless you're having a quickie break during a study session.
Also, try to find and remove any rotted food, pet hair, used Kleenex, etc. Go by the rule that if you think it's gross — your date probably will, too.
Next, take a careful look at the center of the room — the bed. Do your sheets have gross stains on them? Wash them. If it's been longer than two weeks, wash them anyway. Even if they look clean.
Unfortunately for those stuck in residence or scholarship halls, size does matter with beds.
Whoever invented twin beds for University housing obviously didn't have a functioning love
life.
Although it is possible for two people to sleep (or not) on a narrow-as-a-board bed, it's kind of like riding a horse: bumpy, uncomfortable, and somebody is probably going to fall off.
But take heart. Generations of college students have made the two-in-a-twin work (adventurous ones have probably even accomplished 3 or more).
Go to Kmart or Wal-Mart and buy a couple of pillows, even if you already have two. Line the wall beside your bed with them. Along with condoms, a plentiful pillow supply is a good investment to keep things safe and fun.
All right. Your room is clean, your sheets smell like a summer day and that great-smelling candle is not only making your room smell good, it's providing some killer mood lighting (nothing says lovin' less than a fluorescent ceiling fixture).
There's only one more thing to worry about: the other person (or people) who shares your house or room.
Obviously, living in a house makes things easier. Just tell your roommates that a shut door
means "knock," and a shut door with you and a love-interest behind it means "stay away."
Things are more complicated when you share a room. Try working out a system with your roommate. Something easy like a sock on the door that means "stay away."
Just remember that while sex and romance should be accommodated, if you're constantly in the room with the sock on the door, you're going to get busted in on. Either throw the chain, or take it elsewhere (more on that in a later column).
One last thing: Even though the walls seem thick, they are not soundproof. Remember that, but don't worry about it too much.
Basically, college is the time for love, even if it's not exactly the time for the best settings or situations to make love (of any kind). But, with a little work, that hole in the wall called a room can become — at least for a while — a palace of love.

GREAT FALLS, Mont. Teacher shortages may be a problem elsewhere in the nation, but at the Benton Lake School, one teacher is more than enough.
Rural school closes; can't attract students
The one-classroom school north of Great Falls has no students for the new school year.
The school has been advertising to try to attract students, but so far,the strategy hasn't paid off,said a trustee for the school district.
And if Benton Lake shuts down for the year, it won't be the only Montana school to so 14 schools plan to cancel classes, state education officials said.
Hanging dummy gets people's attention
SLIDELL, La. — Several people called 911 to report a man hanging from a ladder attached to a billboard, but police and firefighters quickly discovered it was nothing more than a dummy.
The dummy is part of a three-dimensional billboard advertising Northshore Regional Medical Center on an
interstate north of Slidell. The sign reads: "Trouble is never far away. Neither are we."
Drug dealer tries to sell to mayor
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A man who allegedly tried to sell drugs through a car window came across a tough customer — the mayor.
The man was arrested Friday after approaching Minneapolis Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton's car.
The man was found to be carrying what appeared to be crack cocaine and marijuana, according to police.
Men looking to get high steal the wrong drug
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — Four men who broke into a veterinarian's office stole what they thought was a painkiller that can be abused to produce a high, authorities said. Instead, they ended up with a similarly named drug used to induce labor and stimulate milk production.
"I don't know if they used any," said a detective at the scene. "They were all pretty dumb." -The Associated Press

Shawnee teen's sentence cut
Family of local woman calls judge's decision 'aggravating'
By Laurie Harrison Kansan staff writer
The family of a Lawrence woman killed in a car accident last September is dismayed that a judge reduced the sentence of the teen-ager charged with her death.
On Aug. 7, a judge ordered Sean Scott, 17, of Shawnee, to serve five years probation for the death of 39-year-old Felicia "Lisa" Ramos Bland.
"It was a shock. We were very disappointed," said T.J. Reyes, Bland's sister-in-law. "Here we thought there was going to be some justice."
Johnson County District Court Judge Janette Sheldon originally sentenced Scott in March to two-and-a-half years at a youth correctional facility and two years of aftercare, after he pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter.
Jim Bland, Lisa's husband, said he wasn't surprised at the judge's ruling because Scott's sentence had been reduced before.
"It's aggravating," Bland said. "I guess her life doesn't mean that much if a judge can be that way."
In May, Sheldon reduced the sentence to probation with the condition that Scott participate in a 90-day behavior modification program, said Randy McCalla. Scott's attorney.
During the Aug. 7 hearing, witnesses testified that Scott had successfully completed the program, and Sheldon set the probation at five years, McCalla said.

Tailgating proposal approved
Chancellor's policy allows drinking outside stadium on experimental basis
By Kursten Phelps and Jay Krall Kansan editor and sports editor
Fans heading to tomorrow's football home opener can bring their alcohol. But leave the kegs at home.
Fans will be permitted to drink alcohol in and around 10 parking lots at Memorial Stadium during a three-hour period before tomorrow's 6 p.m. kickoff. Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced a revised policy that will allow alcohol during tailgating on an experimental basis this year.
Richard Konzem, associate athletics director, said the new policy had been hammered out in meetings during the last several weeks, culminating in a meeting in Hemenway's office at 8:30 a.m. yesterday. In that meeting, Ralph Oliver, director of the KU Public Safety Office; Darren Cook, director of facilities; and Reggie Robinson, counselor to the chancellor, briefed Hemenway on logistics, safety and legal concerns. Hemenway made his final decision yesterday afternoon before announcing it with the release of a prepared statement at 4 p.m.
Hemenway could not be reached for comment yesterday.
"We are dealing openly and honestly with the issues of alcohol attached to tailgating. We will assess the effects of this experiment throughout the season," Hemenway said in the statement.
According to the policy, 10 parking lots around the stadium will be designated
"Proud to be a Jayhawk" areas. Alcohol will be allowed in those areas, though the new policy prohibits kegs, any sale of alcohol and underage drinking.
Justin Mills, student body president, said although he did not personally agree with the decision, it reflected the will of most students.
"My biggest concern is that they really keep it in a confined space," Mills said. "If you let drinking up on the Hill or on Memorial Drive, that's a big area that would be hard for the police to cover."
He said he trusted most fans to be responsible but was concerned about crowds getting out of hand.
"That 1 percent that might get out of hand is a little frightening." Mills said. "I would hate to see someone drink and drive or something bad happen that would hurt the image of the University."
Pat Saysoffs, Overland Park freshman, said he thought the policy would draw fans.
"I think it will be a lot safer, too," he said. "People can drink there, instead of beforehand and driving drunk."
The athletics department will deploy employees to pass out donation envelopes in the tailgating areas to raise money for the Marching lavhawks.
The policy prohibits fans from re-entering the stadium if they leave during the game. In past seasons, fans have been permitted to re-enter if they obtained a hand stamp at a designated gate.
Kansas athletics director Allen Bohl announced earlier this month his support for allowing alcohol during tailgating. Bohl was unavailable for comment yesterday.

Ads in bathrooms remind drinkers to pass the keys
By Brent Briggeman Kansan staff writer
Every guy knows the routine: head up, eyes straight ahead.
Realizing this, the Kansas Department of Transportation and the Kansas Drunk Driving Prevention Program is using that spot on the wall to place bathroom billboards encouraging drinkers to think twice before they drive.
E. L. Bailer Indoor Advertising has donated the billboard space for the "Hand Them Over To Someone Sober" campaign, and nine Lawrence establishments have agreed to participate beginning today.
The project was spearheaded by E.L. Bailer Indoor Advertising president Eric Gonsher.
"We approached (KDDPP) with the idea," Gonsher said of the spots, which would normally be rented out at $29 per month. "Naturally they were all for the idea."
Local establishments seemed equally eager to help. "We realize that's a perfect place to target people when they may need it," said Aaron Shaston, bar manager at Jack Flanigans Bar and Grill, 806 W.24th St.
Past KDDPP projects have included the Stop Underage Drinking campaign, fake ID workshops and training sessions with restaurant and bar servers, helping them to recognize when patrons have had too much to drink.
Sherri Cannon, director of the KDOT traffic safety program, said placing the signs in men's and women's bathrooms would ensure an audience.
"Everyone has to go in there eventually," she said. "The more they drink, the more often they'll be in there. So hopefully we'll be able to hit home the moment they have to make the decision to drive home or designate a driver."
In 2000, 78 people died and more than 2,000 were injured in alcohol-related crashes on Kansas highways, according to the KDDPP. More than 20,000 people are arrested annually in the state for driving while intoxicated.
The program is financed by KDOT and has existed since 1979. Most of the organization's work has been centered in Kansas' five most populous counties, including Douglas County.

Near-fatal crash can't crush spirit
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
As sophomore tight end Adrian Jones turned to his left on Tuesday, long dreadlocks bounced beneath his black wave cap. He used his massive right arm to pull up the left sleeve of his navy blue and turquoise Fubu Jersey. Scar tissue blanketed his muscles.
The whip-like cuts Jones received were the only visible reminders of what really happened the afternoon of Nov.28,1999.
While returning to Lawrence from his Thanksgiving break in Dallas, Jones lost control of his car on Interstate 35 North near Emporia when the rear left tire burst unexpectedly.
He remembered talking to his brother Christopher, 26, who was riding shotgun. He remembered seeing Jayhawk wide receiver and close friend Derick Mills fall fast asleep in the backseat. He remembered flying by a van on the left and carefully coasting by a police car on the right.
But that is where his memory stopped.
He didn't remember being jolted at 80 miles per hour from his burgundy 1993 Honda Accord as it flipped twice onto the median. Gone were the memories of mangling his left shoulder and knocking his head on the highway concrete. He didn't even remember his three-day hospital stay at Wichita's Weslev Medical Center.
Jones woke up in a daze. In the room were a handful of doctors and his parents, Lawrence and Patricia.
"I had to have woken up in a hospital, but I don't remember. any of the hospital stuff." Jones said. "The doctors said that I had a contusion on my left temporal, and I had to get stitches in my left arm. I have no idea how many."
With his body shattered, his car totaled and his football career in jeopardy, Jones was able to leave the hospital with his two most important things — his life and his family. That was all that mattered at the time, he said.
"I can pretty much guess that the way that I am, if I just woke up and saw my car totaled—and then in the hospital I'm sure they had a box of tubes hooked up to me—I'm sure that death may have crossed my mind," Jones said.
He left the hospital for Dallas with his parents. He did not come back to Kansas until second semester began two months later. His future was far away from football.
"Your initial reaction is that you hope the kid is alive," said Fred Roll, Kansas strength and conditioning coach. "Adrian made a lot of progress during his redshirt season, but in a time like that, football is not even a consideration."
Rehabilitation started slowly for Jones. He was

Kansas tight end Adrian Jones recovered from a near-fatal car accident last fall and will start in tomorrow's season opener. "It's A.J.'s time to shine," coach Terry Allen says.

East Timor citizens vote for first parliament
The Associated Press
The vote came months after 50 townpeople had been hacked or shot to death in a church, allegedly by the militias and their Indonesian military supporters, as part of their campaign to intimidate East Timor to vote to remain part of Indonesia in the U.N.-supervised referendum.
LIQUICA, East Timor — Two years ago, the sense of fear was palpable in this coastal town as voters huddled under the midday sun, waiting silently to cast their ballots. Nearby, drunken militiamen wearing red berets and black T-shirts glowered at the crowd.
Yesterday, during the Asian country's first free election, the difference in atmosphere could not have been greater. People laughed and joked with U.N. police and peacekeepers as they waited patiently to choose an 88-member assembly to draft the country's constitution.
The assembly is widely expected to adopt a presidential system, with elections for the new head of state expected by next April. The assembly will become the country's first parliament.
"This is a historic day for East Timor," Ana Flora, a 20-year-old student, said.
The vote for the assembly by East Timor's 425,000 eligible voters will set the province on the road to nationhood after three centuries of Portuguese colonial rule, 24 years of Indonesian military occupation and two years of transitional U.N. administration.
Polling stations reported no violence and only a few minor glitches in the voting procedures.
"I am very happy but not surprised to report that all is well, and the election is taking place in a calm and peaceful atmosphere," said U.N. chief electoral officer Carlos Valenzuela.
East Timor, which has a population of 738,000, lies 300 miles northwest of Australia in the string of islands that make up Indonesia.
The province was devastated and hundreds of people were killed in the runup and aftermath of the September 1999 ballot when Indonesian troops and their militia allies went on the rampage. The entire population of Liquica was driven out after results of the referendum were announced.
An Australian-led, multinational peacekeeping force arrived to restore order and oversee the Indonesian withdrawal. Since then, U.N. administrators have been in charge. The refugees gradually returned to rebuild their burned and sacked town.
Bush returns from vacation
The Associated Press
CRAWFORD, Texas — After 26 days away, President Bush and his wife returned to Washington yesterday to a fall season that began with their first state dinner and then quickly turned to the far less glamorous business of federal budgeting.
"Our batteries are charged," Bush told fellow Texans as he said a temporary goodbye and braced for battle with Congress about government spending. The Bushes arrived at the White House yesterday afternoon.
The president said he was looking forward to getting back to work "and ready to work with folks on both sides of the aisle" as the House and Senate scramble to pass 13 spending bills that Bush would agree to sign to keep the federal government running after the current fiscal year ended Sept. 30.
Bush outlined his priorities in a Wednesday speech to the American Legion: big increases in defense and education spending, protections for HMO patients and Medicare coverage for prescription drugs.
Democrats, pointing to new economic projection from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, said Bush couldn't pay for any of these promises without breaking one of his most central campaign promises — to not use Social Security reserves to cover general budget shortfalls.
The CBO said the shrinking budget surplus would force the government to tap $9 billion of the Social Security reserves this year and next.
In a preview of the rough ride Democrats planned to give him, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton bemoaned to her constituents Wednesday "the hole that this tax cut has hung for us." Congressional Democratic leaders demanded to meet with Bush and have him explain how he planned to pay for everything without touching Social Security.
Bush said he would take his case directly to the public, with trips around the country beginning on Labor Day when he travels to Detroit and Green Bay, Wis.
Next Wednesday, he welcomes Mexican President Vicente Fox to the White House and the first state visit of this Bush presidency.
Bob Hope 'responding well' to pneumonia treatments
BURBANK, Calif. — Bob Hope, hospitalized with a mild case of bacterial pneumonia, is recovering well. But he won't be sent home until he can breathe easily without being given oxygen, his physician said.
"He's responding well to therapy," Lee Kagan said yesterday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center, where the 98-year-old comedian was taken Sunday after he had trouble breathing at his Toluca Lake home.
"He was quite ill, but his condition has improved. We anticipate he'll be home in a few days," Kagan said.
Hope was diagnosed with "mild pneumonia." This is the first time he has had the illness. He was given oxygen and antibiotics, Kagan said.
Police suspect Hells Angels involved in meth lab fire
UKIAH, Calif. — Pilots Lars Stratte and Larry Groff had beaten fierer tussles the 270-acre blaze that they died fighting when their planes collided.
The arrest of the man accused of starting the fire seemed routine as well—until investigators found in the ashes remnants of a methaphetamine lab they suspect might have been part of a larger drug ring, possibly involving the Hells Angels motorcycle gang.
District Attorney Norm Vroman said Frank Brady, 50, told authorities he started the fire. What Mendocino County authorities want to know is whether it was just a campfire or something more.
"I want to look at his club," Vroman said. He added Brady was the vice president of the Mendocino County chapter of the Hells Angels.
Brady declined interview requests from The Associated Press.
Vatican urges nations to apologize for slavery
VATICAN CITY — Nearly a decade ago, Pope John Paul II went to Africa and asked forgiveness for Christians' role in slavery. Now the Vatican is urging nations that took part in the slave trade to consider apologizing, too.
The Vatican released a document Wednesday outlining its positions on some of the issues to be discussed this week at a U.N. conference on race, including whether there should be reparations for those whose ancestors were sold or born into slavery.
In taking up the cause, the Vatican joined Senegal, South Africa and others in supporting the search for a way to make amends.
A campaign driven by African activists is asking the conference to endorse proposals for an apology from nations that benefited from the slave trade.

Sentence: Lawyer says judge gave juvenile benefit of doubt
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Terms of the probation include Scott being on house arrest for six months, needing to perform 300 hours of community service and participating in drug and alcohol counseling.
If the judge decides that Scott has violated his probation, he would return to the correctional facility to finish serving his initial two-and-a-half year sentence, McCalla said.
Bland was killed on Kansas Highway 10 on Sept. 16, 2000, after Scott's car crossed the median and collided with Bland's car.
Scott, who was 16 at the time of the crash, had a blood alcohol content of.15, almost twice the adult legal limit. He had been drinking at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house before the accident.
The fraternity didn't face any penalties, however, because no evidence proved it provided Scott with alcohol, according to a University investigation.
Brenda Cameron, assistant district attorney who prosecuted Scott's case, said her office disagreed with the judge's sentence reduction.
"We felt the sentence should stay as it
was," Cameron said. "We were adamantly opposed to any modification. We felt like being in custody was the restriction he needed."
The reduction isn't against the law, however. A state statute concerning juveniles does allow for modifications of a sentence, Cameron said.
McCalla, Scott's attorney, said that Scott's probation contract was the most difficult contract he'd seen in his 10 years working in juvenile law.
But in all of McCalla's previous juvenile cases, none of his clients had been involved in a death, he said.
"This case isn't a typical case by any stretch of the imagination," McCalla said.
The numerous probation requirements provide little comfort to Bland's family.
"You expect the court system to protect and be on the side of the victim," Bland said. "It just seems like it's more for the guilty. That's disheartening."
Lisa Bland's siblings said they wanted to know why the judge changed the original sentence she ordered in March during the May and August hearings.
"It makes you wonder what happened in that time," said Yolanda Reyes,
Lisa's sister.
McCalla said there was a legal explanation for the change of sentence.
Bland said he worried about the effects Scott's sentence would have on future drinking and driving cases.
"In juvenile law, we look at things a little bit different than in criminal law. Judge Shelton tries to provide the best opportunities for juveniles to succeed in the future," he said.
"What precedent does this set for the next case?" he said.

Minority youth, KU students paired in outreach program
Volunteers needed as mentors, tutors for local teen-agers

By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Anthony Daniels grew up in an area that was surrounded by poverty and drugs. Instead of heading down the wrong path, however, his kindergarten teacher became his role model and helped get him into a supportive after-school program.
"She put me in something organized and positive," said Daniels, interim assistant director for the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Multicultural Affairs Project Outreach Program
The program focuses on helping junior high students early in school and runs from Monday, Sept. 10 to Thursday, Dec. 13.
Volunteers mentor and tutor Lawrence junior high school students.
Daniels coordinates the Multicultural Affairs Project Outreach Program, which serves Lawrence junior high school students of color. The program involves KU students volunteering as mentors and tutors. It is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and is also financed by Student Senate.
Starts Monday, Sept. 10 and ends Thursday, Dec. 13.
Volunteers spend an hour on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday afternoon with the students.

"It's to help students get on track in regards to attending college and KU in particular," Daniels said. "It's a critical intervention stage."
Carmen Vieray, Hutchinson junior, said she volunteered because she wanted to help Lawrence youth and planned to participate again.
There are no set number of volunteers, and any KU student is encouraged to serve as a mentor or tutor, Daniels said. Organizations can also adopt a school. Students volunteer for an hour on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday afternoons. Before they start volunteering, they will go through training at the office, Daniels said.
Daniels said it was important to get the families of students who participated in the program involved. There will be a kick-off party for program recipients and their parents next month.
"Parents should encourage their students," Daniels said. "They can become a resource for their own students."
Debra Danielson, office specialist for the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said her son went through the program while in junior high and that she was encouraging her daughter to participate as well.
Daniels said the junior high students would be brought to campus for visits and to attend a football game.

Department of theater and film to bring bit of Africa to campus for Labor Day
By Eve Lamborn
Kansan staff writer
A one-woman show and an African drumming workshop are coming to campus this weekend as part of the department of theater and film's fourth annual Labor Day Festival.
John Staniunas, artistic director of the department's Performance Resource Center and Laboratory, said he invited a different performer to the University of Kansas each year for the festival.
"The spirit of the festival is to bring in performing artists who would not normally be seen on campus." Staniunas said.
He said the festival brought attention to the artistic process as well as the artist.
"We celebrate the work of art, and also the artist's work." Staniunas said.
1ms year Tanya Shaffer, a Lawrence native, will perform "Let My Enemy Live Long," a solo show she wrote based on her two-week journey up the Niger River in Africa. She will perform at 7:30 tonight and 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in Murphy Hall.
"I hope to show the complexity of relationships across divides of culture, race, class and especially economics," she said.
Shaffer, who lives in San Francisco, based her show on journals she kept while she volunteered in Ghana.
"The people I met were complicated, flawed, vital, alive," she said. "And I learned a tremendous amount from them."
Kofi Anang, a native of Ghana, provides African music to accompany the show. He will conduct a West African drumming workshop at

The festival also includes a panel discussion at 3:30 today at the Sunflower Room in the Burge Union. It features Shaffer; Peter Ukpokodu, chairman of African and African American studies; Tamara Falicov, assistant professor of theater and film and Latin American studies; and Evan Winet, visiting assistant professor of theater and film.
"We hope to make people aware of issues such as culture, diversity, and how things are viewed from different angles and lenses," Ukpokodu said.
The drumming workshop and discussion are free to the public. Regular admission for the show is $12 and $6 for students and senior citizens, and are on sale at the box office in Murphy Hall.

LETTER TO THE EDITORS
STEPHENSON HALL RESIDENTS
Dear editors.
"They" was such a small word in Tuesday's Kansan article, "Lack of air conditioning angers Stephenson residents" (Aug. 28): "Last year the hall's residents had an art show where they publicly wet their pants."
This gives the impression that during the art show 48 Stephenson residents lined up and let it fly. In fact, only about 10 residents were seriously involved with the creation or the show. The number of students that wet themselves: two.
Whether you agree with the art show and the float of doom is beside the point. As for myself, I supported my hallmates' right to express themselves even if I did not agree with the message.
Throughout the article, the improper use of "they" transformed what would otherwise have been an informative piece on the last un-air-conditioned hall on campus into an inaccurate and unfair piece of journalism.
By concentrating on the "bad boy" image, the Kansan made Stephenson Hall into a stereotype. In my opinion, the essence of Stephenson is not necessarily obscenity; it is freedom.
I wish that the paper could see what made me come back to Stephenson: impromptu discussions of philosophy and politics at odd hours, an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity, a hall rooted in tradition, and a diverse group of men who manage to live with each other in true friendship and brotherhood. Why else would I return to a hall without modern amenities?
Articles in the Kansan over the past year about Stephenson have been overwhelmingly negative. Although this latest article made the campus aware of the air conditioning issue, it still contained overtones of disapproval.
Next time, get your facts straight, and report the whole truth. The smallest word can make the difference.

Understand history behind the perfect college holiday
with our demanding class and work schedules ripping us away from our beds and couches, it's easy to see why three-day weekends are such a blessing. We're all quick to know when a break is, but whether it's Memorial Day, Labor Day or Presidents' Day — it doesn't really matter because we spend each holiday about the same way.
We often get so caught up in all the numerous possibilities of what we can to with our new-found free-time, to actually stop and think of the significance behind these days. National holidays were established for more than just giving us a break from our daily obligations.
Our first holiday of this school year, Labor Day, is quickly approaching.
Weekend trips, barbecues, and sleeping late are popular pastimes associated with this break. It just so happens, the ways we've chosen to spend this particular three-day weekend aren't far off the mark of why Labor Day was declared a holiday in the first place.
But what does Labor Day mean to us?
Other than "no class on Monday," here's the rundown on why Labor Day came to be.
Commentary

Akilah YaDullah Guest Columnist opinionansan.com
On the first Monday of every September, we are released from our schools and jobs, to take some time for relaxation. Labor Day is a day that has been set aside for rest and recreation. Celebrated in the states, Puerto Rico and Canada, it also symbolizes the end of the summer season.
In Australia, it's referred to as the Eight Hour Day and is meant to celebrate the successful struggle for a shorter working day. In Europe, Labor Day falls on May 1, to celebrate the approach of summer. For us, that day is set aside for the rejoicing of fertility, but that's another holiday.
I'm almost positive that we working people are always in support of honoring working people, but you're probably wondering how such a holiday came into existence. The first Labor Day parade took place in New York
City in September 1882. Matthew Maguire, a machinist from Paterson, N.J., and Peter J. McGuire, a New York City carpenter, were the main planners of the parade.
They felt the working class needed a break — and many agreed. Oregon was the first state to make it a legal holiday in 1887. President Grover Cleveland signed a bill in 1894, making Labor Day a national holiday.
So now, along with being quick to know when the breaks are, we can also take pride in the fact that we know what they're for — or at least what Labor Day is celebrating, for starters.
I say take this time off without an inch of shame or guilt for avoiding responsibilities. For now, we are all aware that is the fashion in which we were meant to spend this weekend. Enjoy your holiday of rest and recreation.

Feigning apathy toward class is worse than powdered soap
It's good to be back and see your friends, acquaintances and possibly one-night stands. It's a darn shame, though, that the "schoolwork aspect" has to get in the way of everyone's college experience. The most overused conversation piece overheard lately goes something like this: "Yeah, it's great to be back, but class sucks."
The most basic truth is that higher-education rates internationally have risen, but an astounding percentage of the world won't ever get a chance to attend a university. We are undeniably a first-world country with many benefits I hope others will someday enjoy. As students, we need to be critical of our country, of course, but not forget the millions of privileges we take for granted.
Apathy. Most of us know the value of an education. However, the trend to act bored about school should be No.1 on the "out" list every year. Now, excuse me a hundred times to the many bright and curious students who don't dismiss education so readily in front of others.
We even forget the fundamental fact that in the U.S. many high schoolers lack the luxury of being pushed to go to college. All KU students are here by pure luck. Neither destiny nor any other divine reason can explain why we were handed the first levels of security and shelter to even get a chance to complain about the "crumbly soap" in Robinson. It's a KU student's obligation to use education to become aware and help others do the same.

Many of you work, have scholarships or financial aid, and choose to spend your hard-earned money on school. Nontraditional students realize how important education is when they return to KU. And, of course, many students have it all taken care of by parents. Right now, use extra precaution not to take monthly allowances for the latest Gap shirt or Free State beer for granted.
Still, regardless of how you got here, acting as if school is a bore is just too easy.
Finally, you may think some classes are too horrible to bear — especially when your TA denies you the grade you didn't deserve. But push through school with an open mind and make yourself well-rounded. Enjoy the only four or five years where you get unlimited resources and help. The University is a business, but the teachers it employs wouldn't be here getting underpaid if they didn't already know that an education is the best way to help us move toward a better society.
Class will get stressful, and at times you'll think it's a burden. People will try to understand when you explain that it's hard to attend class while you can't figure out how learning which minerals make up sandstone will help you get your business degree.
I don't believe we all have to get good grades to be successful or satisfied. Some have other priorities and distractions. Grades are just superficial ink anyway. But start this year with the nonconformist talk that school truly is the best place to be.
Now, if you still absolutely don't care, you're probably just lying, lazy or immature. But it's hard to be part of that minority, and college will soon teach you that. Just realize what people are really thinking when you say "school sucks."

Senate ready to take on budget
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
The task of determining where the University of Kansas' money goes for student organizations and programs will be the responsibility of Student Senate beginning next Wednesday when Senate convenes for the first time this semester.
"It's every student's money, so when they come here everybody should get a fair shot at that money."
"It's every student's money, so when they come here, everybody should get a fair shot at that money," Mills said. "They may not have the best presentation; not every person who comes to Senate is going to be the perfect speaker. But they still have the same right as everyone else to that money, if they have a worthwhile cause."
Student body president Justin Mills said students must think they have a voice in how University money was spent.
Senate allocated $123,908 when they met in March. Senate has also about $250,000 in a reserve account, which acts as a buffer zone, in case Senate
Justin Mills Student body president
exceeds its budget.
Mills said he would like to make some money in the reserve account available to programs in the future. He said it would be interesting to see how Senate comes together to decide on funding and issues.
"I think it will be back to work, honestly." Mills said. "There may be a few issues that I'm sure will be pre-partisan, but for the most part, I'm really not seeing it being a huge problem."
Nikki Polley, Plymouth, Minn., sophomore, said she hoped that Senate would allocate the University money wisely.
"It shouldn't be just a handout," Polley said. "I think there should be set guidelines."
Paul Saab, Newton junior, said he was unaware that Senate had control of how University money gets spent for student organizations.
"I didn't know that I could go in and ask for funding," Saab said. "If they're going to have the responsibility, they're going to have to share it with us."
Some of the programs that Senate contributed significant amounts of money to last March included a Langston Hughes Symposium ($22,500), a KU History project ($15,000) and KUJH Mobile Production Equipment ($12,925).

New Parking Commission designed to speed up parking policy-making
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
A new parking commission will allow student representatives to face less red tape when dealing with parking issues this semester.
Justin Mills, student body president, assured student involvement in the new commission following its final approval last Tuesday.
"We have a lot of students who
are interested in the new Parking Commission." Mills said.
The Senate Executive Committee, a campus governing body composed of students, faculty and staff, voted unanimously to implement the new administrative structure intended to create a more efficient system to deal with campus parking policy.
The Parking Commission, with three students among its 10-person membership, will recommend the price and use of parking
permits and other policies relating to campus parking. The commission will report directly to Provost David Shulenburger as soon as its members are appointed.
Unlike the Parking Board it will replace, the Parking Commission will not need the University Council to approve its recommendations.
The Parking Board will remain in place until the commission's membership is appointed by the
provost sometime this semester
Provost Shulenburger said he would be inclined to include current Parking Board members on the commission, but that the nominating bodies should be free to put forward whomever they deemed the best candidates.
Reach Smith at 864-4810.
Parking Commission
What happened? The new Parking Commission will make recommendations on parking policy directly to Provost David
Shulenburger, leaving University Council off the administrative track. What it means: Less bureaucratic frustration for student, faculty and staff members of the commission
What next: Shulenburger awaits nominees for the commission from Student Senate Executive Committee, Faculty Executive Committee. Classified Senate and the Unclassified Professional Staff Association. The commission will be implemented before the end of the semester.

Jones: Player fights back from accident
CONTINUED FROM 1A
restricted to light jogging, but weight lifting and running were disallowed. The Dallas doctors were cautious with the 18-year-old. Rushing him would stifle his recuperation.
"My doctors did not know what to think," Jones said. "They had never dealt with a situation like that before. They couldn't tell me if I would ever return to football. They pretty much just told me to wait it out and see."
In the spring of 2000, Jones made his return to the football field, but his body was still weak. His weight dropped to 235 pounds after he had built it up so dramatically during his redshirt season, Roll said. He had taken a giant step to make it back, but not being able to work in the weight room hindered his progress.
"He lost a year of training, but you could see in his eyes that he was going to make it back," Roll said. "He wanted it."
Last fall, Jones served as Kansas' third-string tight end behind ex-Jayhawk Jason Gulley and junior David Hurst. He played in four games that year to earn his first varsity letter. During spring football, Jones had declared himself fully recovered
from the accident that nearly took his life 16 months before.
In a spring football game in April, Jones showed his teammates and coaches that the wreck was behind him. On a pass play near the end of the scrimmage, quarterback Mario Kinsey lofted a 37-yard pass in front of the sprinting Jones. After beating starting strong safety Jake Letourneau to the goal line, Jones sprawled out to make a diving touchdown catch in the back of the end zone. After the game, coach Terry Allen said to a horde of reporters that Jones would be in the running for the starting tight end position.
Last Tuesday, after watching Jones and Hurst battle throughout two-a-days, Allen announced that Jones would be his starting tight end in the season opener tomorrow.
"It's A.J.'s time to shine," Allen said. "Last fall, we were pretty guarded with him. But he'd done so well this summer to become a starter; he's earned it."
But Jones is just pleased to be back playing the game he loved, the game that brought him to Kansas and the game he nearly lost Nov. 28, 1999.

Golf coach helps team find the green
By John Domoney Kansan sportswriter
The year was 1980. and Kansas men's golf was mired in a string of unfulfilled seasons that had seen it finish in the middle or toward the bottom of the Big 8 Conference for nearly 20 years.
CHRIS BURKET/KANSAN
Ross Randall, coach for the Kansas men's golf team, helps a player with his swing on the fourth hole at Alvamar Golf Course. Since Randall took charge of the program, he has produced 11 top-four conference finishes and four All-Americans.
The Jahawks were looking for a change, and little did Kansas know that the man who would steer the program into national prominence was a Californian working as a golf pro in Ames, Iowa.
Ross Randall, who left Iowa and migrated to Kansas, couldn't be happier with his decision to come to Lawrence. In the 22 years that he's been the jayhawks golf coach, he's built a program that is now among the elite in the nation.
"The longer I stayed here, the more I loved Alvamar and Lawrence, and now it's my home," Randall said. "I'm comfortable here and proud of the school."
For Randall, coaching collegiate golf wasn't what he set out to do when he graduated from San Jose State in 1968. He had a stellar career that saw him earn first-team All-American status in 1967 to go along with his second-plain finish in the 1964 NCAA Championship, which he lost to his longtime golfing friend, Hale Irwin.
After a run on the PGA Tour from 1969 to 1976, Randall assumed the role of head golf professional at the Ames Golf and Country Club for two years. Then the idea of coaching golf presented itself in the form of an offer from Iowa State.
Luckily for Kansas, Randall didn't accept the offer at Iowa State and ventured to Lawrence instead to oversee a program that has produced 11 top-four conference finishes and four All-Americans since his arrival.
"It's nice to see them come in when they're 18 because some are scared about being at a big school and being away from home." Randall said. "My wife and I enjoy watching them
grow up and going to weddings and sending put baby gifts."
It's this father-like approach that has earned Randall his players' admiration and respect on and off the golf course.
"Coach is a pretty laid back guy," senior golfer Casey Harbour said. "He's a firm believer that if you want to be a good player, you'll practice individually on your own until you become a good player."
In his years as coach, Randall has come to realize that the term "good player" has changed. He credited the changes in equipment and the players' fitness levels for ushering in a period of competitiveness that hasn't
been seen before.
"The players I recruited 15 years ago that would have been our No.1 or No.2 player couldn't make the team now," Randall said.
The three-time conference coach of the year still carries the same love for his job that he did more than two decades ago. And Randall doesn't have any plans to relinquish his role anytime soon.
"I just want to continue to graduate players and be a competitive program," Randall said. "Hopefully as long as they think I can help them, I'll keep doing it for a while."

Hard-hitting game of rugby creates bond among players
Experienced team focuses on friendship, recruitment of new players for future
By Kevin Flaherty Kansan sportswriter
As a player swept toward the sideline, he was grabbed and upended into the dirt. Shoveling the ball backward without getting up, he lay at the bottom of a pileup while his team went on without him. The team continued to move the ball down the field.
The Kansas rugby club team has started practice for the season.
With 19 returning players and 12 returning starters (15 play at a time for each team), expectations are high for a team that went 15-4 against college teams last year. They also return captain Kacey Slusher, Oliver Parkinson and Jason Ahrens, key players from last season. That team captured three tournament titles and was runner-up at the Big 12 championships.
Brent Zluticky, senior rugby club president, said he had two main goals for the season.
"This year we'd really like to do well at the Ozark Tourney, which we won last year," Zluticky said. "And we'd also love to increase our numbers through recruiting. We have a lot of juniors and seniors on the team, and we need to keep building for the future."
Recruitment is also important because of the possibility of injury. In such a violent sport, injuries are common, and any particular week could be a rough one for team members.
They survive through camaraderie.
Parkinson said the rugby team was a closely knit group.
It 's just cool. We always hang out together.
"It's just cool. We always hang out together—a lot of us live together," Parkinson said. "It's like our social group and a family. We had one guy who left to play in New Zealand, and he stayed at the parents of another player's house. I live with a guy from South Africa, and we
"There has been 25 years of rugby at KU, and there are professors and local business owners who are all KU alumni. We still are active with them, and it's great to know that you're more than just a little podunk club sport." Brent Zluticky

spend Christmas together. It's great."
Zluticky said the players also had a strong sense of tradition.
"There has been 25 years of rugby at KU, and there are professors and local business owners who are all KU alumni," Zluticzky said. "We still are active with them, and it's great to know that you're more than just a little podunk club sport."
Zluticky got started in rugby the way many players do — looking for an alternative after ending a high school football career.
"After high school, I missed playing football, and being only 5-foot-8 and 160 pounds, my options as far as continuing in football were limited." Zluticky said. "So one day I was walking through the Union for Club Fest, signed up for practice, and I've been going ever since."
The first home game is Saturday, Sept. 29 against Oklahoma State.
Students interested in rugby can contact Zluticky at 749-1402 or Parkinson at 841-6507.

Mr. Rogers ends run after 34 years
Today is the last beautiful day in the neighborhood
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Alan Alda said goodbye to war on the finale of M.A.S.H, and Mary Tyler Moore bid adieu when the curtain came down on her show. On television, stars say so long when it's over.
The pioneering children's TV host gives no inkling to the show's end during his last new episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which airs today.
But not Mister Rogers.
In the end, the 73-year-old Fred Rogers takes off his sneakers and cardigan and, before leaving the living room, promises — just as he has in every episode — that he will be back.
And he will. PBS affiliates can still air back episodes, some 300 in the program's video library dating back to 1979.
Rogers, whose show won four Emmy Awards plus one for lifetime achievement, always figured the time would come for him to stop.
His thin, lilting voice, his cardigan sweaters, created a sense of tenderness and compassion so genuine it made him the butt of jokes and caricatures among much more jaded adults.
But all along, Rogers has been about respect for his young viewers.
An ordained Presbyterian minister, Rogers remained true to his message while taping the show at WQED in Pittsburgh even as other children's programming opted for slick, noisy and distracting action cartoons.
"It looks like nothing much
happens," said Hedda Sharapan, an associate producer who has been working with Rogers since the show's inception. "Listening has been one of the main focus points."
The show, which has run for 34 years, is PBS' longest-running series.
Rogers showed himself getting a shot, explaining it wasn't so bad. He dealt with the death of one of his goldfish. He talked about divorce — telling kids that whatever happened, it wasn't their fault.
If cartoons are like candy to kids, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood may be the asparagus of children's TV. "In the long run the asparagus is better for you," said David Newell, who plays Mr. McFeely, the "Speedy Delivery" man.

'Golden Tee' arcade game popular for bar hoppers
You're at a bar. You see four guys in the corner hovering around some arcade game hootin', hollerin' and high-fivin' like they just won the lottery.
It's doubtful a million-dollar check will be coming to any of them soon. Chances are they're playing Golden Tee.
Golden Tee is the most popular arcade game in the country, and it is everywhere. Next time you're at a bar in Lawrence, look around. It's a good bet the golf game will be there.
Those four guys aren't video game geeks; they're as normal as they come. Golden Tee attracts men — and some women — the way your porch light attracts moths on a hot summer night.
Gary Colabuono, marketing director for Incredible Technologies, the company that produces Golden Tee, said ITS was surprised at the initial reaction to the game.
Golden Tee was so popular in its first year that ITS received the Manufacturer of the Year Award, which for the coin-operated industry is akin to a film winning an Oscar for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
There are more than 25,000 Golden Tee Fore! 2002 games and another 50,000 older versions of the game in operation today, he said.
The game's popularity rivals that of Pac-Man's in the early '80s (did you know that Time named Pac-Man its Man of the Year in 1982?).
"Sometimes Golden Tee Forel! is referred to as the Pac-Man of the new millennium, to put it into perspective for the older crowd," Colabuono said. "We're certainly not in PacMan's class. It was everywhere. You could find them at cafeterias, Jiffy Lubes and waiting rooms."
Golden Tee doesn't have the penetration of Pac-Man. About 90 percent of Golden Tee's are in bars, but its status among bar-going men is in high regard
So popular is the game among males that some women have taken to forming a support group, Colabuono said. It's called the Golden Tee Widows Association.
So what is it about *Golden Tee* that draws men to it as if it holds the secret to what women want?
"It is a game of skill," Colabuono said. "It is not like Mortal Kombat where you can figure out what sequence of punches and kicks will get the highest score." Golden Tee is always different. Pin placement, the tee, wind and rain are all going to vary."
Kind of like man's situation with women. Just when a guy thinks he's got something figured out, he gets thrown for a loop.
But those four guys sure were happy about something. Did they master Golden Tee? Then, does that mean they've got women figured out?
Not likely. They're playing a video game, albeit a popular one, instead of paying attention to the women at the bar.

Jayhawks' Offense
Jayhawks start football season minus key players
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
Even though he will not be handing off to running back Reggie Duncan or sharing time with quarterback Mario Kinsey tomorrow, starting quarterback Zach Dyer insisted that the game plan will remain the same.
"We're not going to try to switch things up because of the suspensions," Dyer said. "I don't think there will necessarily be more pressure on the passing game because Reggie's in there."
Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer said that it would be Dyer's show for the entire 60 minutes. Dyer said he looked at his start as just another football game.
Dyer will be protected by an offensive line that returns three starters and averages just less than 300 pounds and supported by a receiving corps that caught 73 percent of the passes last season.
"Once you get out there, you are just reacting and playing football." Dyer said.
Dan Coke will replace Duncan as the primary running back out of the Jayhawk backfield. But coach Terry Allen said that as many as three other running
backs would be used behind the 6-foot-1, 212-pound sophomore.
Kansas will play host to No.
15 UCLA next Saturday, a game the players have been looking forward to for months, sophomore cornerback Carl Ivey said
But Ivey also said that the Jayhawks could not afford to overlook Southwest Missouri State.
"We're ready for UCLA, but
first things first," Ivey said. "Southwest Missouri State is going to try to challenge us, but our defense has really good team speed. We know what we have to do."
Ivey won the starting cornerback position opposite senior Andrew Davison, beating out senior Quincy Roe for the right side spot. Also winning a starting spot this past week on defensive coordinator Tom Hayes' defense was linebacker Glenn Robinson, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound redshirt sophomore. He said that the defense needed to attack to be successful.
"We can't play not to lose," Robinson said.
Besides Dyer, Ivey and Robinson, Allen will rotate in another half dozen underclassmen on both sides of the football. He said he expected them to play well but anticipated mistakes.
"Those are the players that are going to be the future of our program," Allen said. "You're going to have some bumps in the road, but if we can eliminate some of the major problems and play well, then it will be a great opportunity for us to go somewhere."
Kansas is 42-22-2 in home openers.

Jayhawks face unknown foe tomorrow
Division I-AA Bears eager for challenge, head coach says
By Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
Southwest Missouri State coach Randy Ball can't remember coming into a season with this many question marks.
"You're always going to have a lot of questions going in to the first game of the season," Ball said. "But this year there's even more than normal."
The Division I-AA Bears must replace 11 starters from a team that finished 5-6 overall last year and 2-4 in the Gateway Conference.
Ball said he didn't know what to expect from his players.
"The kids are anxious to play in a bigger stadium and against Big 12 players," Ball said. "It's a big challenge but hopefully won't be overwhelming for them."
One player Ball wasn't concerned about was his quarterback, Austin Moherman.
A high school All-American and Ohio State signee, Moherman started the first two games for the Buckeyes in 1999 before losing the starting role. He played 14 games in two years at OSU, completing 36 or 75 passes for 435 yards and two touchdowns.
He left Ohio State following the '99 campaign and enrolled at Southwest Missouri State. He immediately took the starting job, tossing 155 of 296 passes for 1,919 yards last season. He threw 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Kansas coach Terry Allen pointed to the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Moherman as an example of the rising talent in I-AA football. Moherman set an NCAA record when he completed his first 20 passes against Indiana State last year.
"He's a big, strong football player," Allen said. "He's a senior, a veteran and
someone who's been in the I-A arena."
Allen said a rules change five years ago that allowed transfers to play immediately when moving from I-A to I-AA has resulted in a talent increase at that level. The SMS roster included 32 transfers from I-A programs.
Complimenting Moherman's passing game will be senior tailback Jason Ringena. A two-year starter, the senior needs just 81 yards to eclipse the 2,000-yard mark for his career.
Opening holes for the running game will be fullback Demetrius Smith (6-2, 255 pounds) and an experienced offensive line, which Ball called the strength of the team.
"They've got a strong running game and a really big fullback," said Jayhawk defensive Glenn Robinson. "This should be a good test for us as we get ready for the running games in the Big 12."
With only three starters returning on
defense for SMS, Allen said Kansas preparation was just guesswork.
"Three of their four starters in the secondary aren't even in the press guide," he said.
Even though SMS and Kansas have never played, the coaches are familiar with each other. Allen and Ball met seven times when Allen was coach at Northern Iowa and Ball was at Western Illinois. Allen's Panthers won six of the seven meetings.
With his next conference win for his 41st, Ball will overtake Allen as the alltime winningest coach in Gateway Conference history.
Tomorrow's game will be SMS' 17th game against I-A foes. Its only win came in 1990 with a 31 to 24 defeat of UNLV.
A win against SMS will count toward six required wins to qualify Kansas for a bowl game. Teams are allowed to count one I-AW win toward a bowl every four years.

Soccer team to defend its turf in home opener
Kansas has tough bill with games against North Texas, Illinois
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
North Texas' game plan is a mystery to the Kansas soccer team, but the Jayhawks know what they need to do to win their season opener today.
"We don't really know that much about them because they haven't played yet," said coach Mark Francis. "We can't get scouting reports on them . . . We've got to worry about executing our game and not worry about them as much."
The game against the Eagles begins at 4 p.m. today at Super Target Field. After weeks of practice, and exhibition victories against Southwest Missouri State and the Busch Soccer Club, Francis said he thought that his players were prepared.
just to get into good business North Texas brings an impressive resume to Lawrence. The Eagles finished 15-5-2 last season and have never had a losing season in their six-year existence. They are led offensively by sophomore forward Marilyn Martin, who scored 24 goals and had six assists in her first collegiate season and was named a freshman
"I think they're ready to go." he said. "It's real important to start with a win, just to get into a good habit."
All-American by Soccer Buzz magazine.
"You've got to be aware of good players on other teams, especially good goal scorers." Francis said.
The Jayhawks close out the weekend with a home match against Illinois at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday. Illinois finished 14-8 a year ago and earned a berth in the NCAA tournament. The Fighting Illini were recently ranked 23rd in the Soccer Buzz preseason Top 25 poll.
Notes
Freshman midfielder Stacey Leeper, sidelined with a foot injury, participated in practices this week. Francis said it was doubtful that she would play this weekend.
said. "We want to make sure she's 100 percent before she comes back. She's pretty close to being ready to go back in."
Kansas is 0-1-1 all-time against North Texas. The last meeting between the two ended in a 2-2 tie in Denton, Texas, last October.
Returning defender Pardis Brown provided one of the scores for the Jayhawks.
"Right now, I'd say probably not," he
- The Jayhawks stand 0-1 lifetime against Illinois. The Fighting Illitook took the match 4-0 in Champaign, Ill. last August.
Both games this weekend are free to students who present a valid KUID.

Brothers gonna work it out Clint K Band invigorates Lawrence with strong 'Three Man Show'

THE CLINT K BAND just released its latest CD "Three Man Show." Band members, from left, are Clint Kueffer, Jason Green and Chet Kueffer.

gharkness@ljworld.com
One of rock's unspoken rules is that bands led by brothers (Oasis, The Black Crowes, Van Halen) tend to squabble once in a while.
"We're not that bad," Chet Kueffer, bassist for Clint K Band laughs. "But we have no problem with being honest to each other. There's a high amount of information exchanged, very rapidly and very loudly."
"We fight sometimes," his brother, vocalist/guitarist Clint Kueffer adds. "I mean, any brothers do. We're not perfect; we get along pretty well. We have our moments."
"I think it would be pretty funny if we videotaped a practice, arranging a song," Chet says. "Someone watching it would go, 'Man, they're gonna kill each other."
The members of Clint K Band (the Kueffer siblings and drummer Jason Green) probably won't be killing each other anytime soon. With a sparkling new CD ("Three Man Show") just released, gigs lined up months in advance and an ever-expanding fan base, the Lawrence-based trio is probably too busy these days to sweat the small stuff.
Early obstacles
Clint Kueffer debuted in 1997 with a solo effort "Clint K," where the singer/songwriter/guitarist was backed by an assortment of area musical pals. Though the effort offered mere traces of the Clint K Band sound, tracks like the running-to-stand-still bluster of "Send Daddy Home" showed the bandleader's burgeoning ability to match poppy hooks with lyrics that walk on the dark side.
With an album under his belt, stars in his eyes and a handful of new tunes in the works, Clint began searching for the perfect backing band. Former No One's Judge drummer Jason Green fit in nicely with Clint's pop rock vision,
adding rhythmic snap and weight in all the right places. Finding someone to hold down the low end proved even easier.
INSIDE
"He didn't have to look very long to find a bass player," Chet deadpans. "He never really looked. I just sort of stepped in. It was hard for a while because when we started, I was still in high school. I was in sports, and it was like I had a meet or Dave had a basketball game or there was a Valentine's dance. It was just a fun thing to do, but it sort of blossomed."
"It was gonna be Clint K and the whatever — Clint K and the Hot Rod Corn Pickers." Clint explains. "But we never really settled on that, it was a little too country for us. Clint K Band just stuck so we went with it."
Coming up with the right name for the newly formed outfit proved a more arduous task.
Clint K Band took to the
local music scene with determination and persistence, making sure it got a gig somehow, somewhere at least every few weeks. That strategy allowed the trio to hone its skills in a live setting, solidifying its sound with each new show. Within a couple of years denote the look of a "real"
— despite the lack of a real record — Clint K Band was showcasing at prestigious gigs like Kansas City's annual Spirit Fest and winning local battle-of-the-bands contests.
"It didn't really kick into high gear until 1998," Clint says. "We've been doing close to between 40 and 50 shows a year for a couple of years. When we first started, it was like a show a month. We've never missed a month since we started, we've had at least one show every month since August of '97."
in achieving musical success:
stage fright.
"I had very little (performing) experience prior to this," Clint says. "When we first got going, I was sick before every gig. I'd go to the bathroom and puke like six times. I used to be shaking."
Forty to 50 gigs a year might have semed daunting at one time for the group's frontman, who was forced early on to overcome the biggest obstacle
"Just like anything in life the more you do something the longer you do it, you're gonna see signs of improvement," Chet adds.
'Go'in pop
When Clint K Band entered Mercy Studios last year to record its debut proper, the previous months of rehearsals and gigs paid huge dividends. Recorded in one week of 10 hour days,"Here We Go" announced the presence of a rock solid unit with a style and flair all its own. From the opening notes of the first track, "Angels Met," it was clear that Clint and company

While I am hopefully optimistic that your column was written with your tongue planted firmly in cheek, I am going to take the chance that you were at least somewhat serious in your tirade against "mooks" and take some offense.
I am a 31-year-old married man whose music collection ranges from Mozart and Beethoven to Metallica and Linkin Park. I like to think of myself as an eclectic music listener, and I believe your diatribe against what my wife calls "angry music" is rather shallow and "taste-centric."
Every generation of music has had its rebellious side. Only scant decades ago, Elvis was causing parents to shake their heads as he shook his hips in time to the burgeoning sounds of this "new-fangled rock and roll" music. While the rebels have evolved, so has our society. In the age of MTV and pop culture sensory overload, is it any wonder that the musicians have no choice but to allow the expression of their existential angst to crest in a roar of bass and straining vocal chords.
Why is it necessary, even through the use of sarcasm, to spring out terms like "homophobia" and "paint-by-numbers introspection" when you are discussing anyone's art? These are heavily loaded terms, and with the sheer number of band names that you drop in your column, it is entirely likely that some of the buttons that you were attempting to push through your witty foray into cynicism will end up haunting you.
While it is true that some of these bands will not "be around once the next musical trend takes over," it is entirely likely that you will be eating crow on this issue. Several of the "faceless" bands you gently mocked have been around long enough to deserve more respect than you designed to offer them, and your argument is non-unique to this musical genre — meaning, you can say this about every new phase of
Letters
music, but there are survivors of them all.
This column is reminiscent of the Vedder/Pearl Jam whings in the peak (or anti-peak?) of the grunge era — something to the tune of "how can we be alternative if we're mainstream?" The timing of this new "cavalry charge of woeful wannabes" can be traced back to other forms of music that people have lambasted — the influence of grunge and hair bands, no matter how asinine or overplayed, is making itself felt today.
You can pick on Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit all you want, in fact some of your comedic assertions are quite humorous, but why slam all the bands? Perhaps if you are having trouble distinguishing between Linkin Park and Durst's own Limp Bizkit, you should listen more and write less.
As I began, so shall I end. I hope this was sarcasm, but the best humor has some truth behind it. Thankfully we live in a country that allows you to print your column without fear of retribution. However, just because we are constitutionally granted the right to print anything, doesn't excuse the offen-
siveness of your column. Your definition of "mook" is loaded with language that can only upset the fans of this

music. Perhaps since you felt that the average age of "mook" fans was 13, you could get away with this sort of ramshackle distribe. And your exact classification of these fans is what made me feel compelled to exercise my first amendment right to take exception to your ideas, and to give a reasoned rebuttal.
David A. Gilham, Lawrence
Journey fan
I just wanted to let you know how much I liked your story ("Sentimental journey," Aug. 23) about Bobby Nichols and Dave Dearth biking across the country in honor of their friend Casey Beaver. I read the original article a few months back and thought it was amazing what these men were doing. Not only are they keeping Casey's memory alive, they are also raising awareness of drunken driving. Casey must have been a great friend, and I think that he was lucky to have friends like Bobby and Dave. Thanks for writing a great story about such a worthy cause, and let them know that at least one reader was touched by their story.
Erin Steinbrink, Lawrence
No more road trips
I am writing to tell you how disappointed I am in your restaurant reviews. Of the last six weeks, three of your reviews have been of restaurants in Kansas City. The Mag is owned by The World Company and published mainly for readers in the Lawrence area. If I wanted to read restaurant reviews of the Kansas City area, I would pick The Pitch, not The Mag. There are many nice restaurants in Lawrence that have yet to be reviewed. I suggest you try out some of those places.
Also, I have noticed that as
long as the entrée price is expensive, you will give the restaurant a good rating. However, if the entrée price is cheap, you will give the restaurant a poor rating. I suggest you get your nose out of
the air and base the ratings on the quality of the food and the service not the price of the bill.I have a hard time accepting any of your reviews as suggestions for dinners out on the town.Personally, I enjoy good food and good service.And if the bill is inexpensive, so much the better.

Clint K Band finds respect in local scene
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2
had turned a musical corner, concocting a confident batch of tunes that recalled the better moments of U2, Everclear and Soul Asylum set to the group's own expansive threepart harmonies and arenaready choruses.
"Usually the theme and the melody come all at once," Clint says of his songwriting process. "It might just be the chorus, maybe it's a verse or maybe it's three different songs that turn into one. Usually the main theme of the chorus line hits me and I fill in the blanks after that. If I don't have a theme, I don't have anything. I just can't sit down and say, 'OK, I'm gonna write a song,' and write it. I've gotta have some inspiration first."
Some of Clint K Band's inspiration undoubtedly comes from its Christian background, which isn't manifested directly in the group's lyrics or music, but in the spiritual vibe that runs throughout an aura more akin to Live or "October"-era U2 than overtly religious acts like Jars of Clay.
"We're three Christian guys and we just play music about life, sometimes about our faith and try to be a positive influence on anyone we can," Green explains. "But we're trying to keep it secular. We don't want to be limited to just playing Christian venues. The Christian industry is as much of a business as regular music. We want to definitely be on the mainstream side, we feel like we can reach more people."
The king-sized power chords that kickstart Clint K Band's latest self-released work, "Three Man Show," were custom-designed to do just that, marking a titanic leap forward in the group's sonic history. The trio worked for approximately 100 hours at Mercy (with "Go" producer Brad Koehler), recording and mixing "Three Man Show." The time was well spent with all members agreeing that the release marks their strongest showing yet.
The infinitely hummable quality of stick-to-the-cranium songs like "Best Friends" and "Runaround," matched with the trio's propulsive energy, make it one of the more strident releases to come out of Lawrence this year. Rather than playing it cool and aloof, Clint K Band barnstorms with unabashed enthusiasm as if nothing else in the world were more fun than playing this song, right now.
"I'd say we've just gotten more comfortable with each other and we're getting more of the sound we want to get," Green says. "It's kind of hard to describe because you just play music until you get to the spot where you're at."
Take it to the stage
Fans also have taken to "Show," packing The Bottleneck last month for the group's CD release party.
"We had a great turnout there, especially for not having the students back yet," Chet says. "We were totally freaking out because we didn't put up flyers really. We had 400 kids; I was shocked."
For Clint and crew, the live setting is the best place to get a taste of the group's many charms. One of "Show's" most headrushing numbers is titled "Take it to the Stage," chronicling a group "kickin' over amps" and "breaking glass with a bloody guitar," a fair description of your average Clint K Band concert.
"I think our sound's improved a lot, but I think our performances have improved the most out of anything," Chet says. "I think our performance is by far our best attribute. Not to degrade the record or our other attributes,
it's just something we're proud of."
"The record is a lot softer than we are live," Green says. "It's a lot more mellow."
Though musical acts with less energy and less interesting material regularly tour the surrounding states and beyond, Clint K Band hasn't ventured far outside of the Lawrence/Topeka/KC region. Partially, according to Clint this is due to lack of record company support.
"It's really difficult to book a tour when you're not on a label," Clint says. "You have no credibility to them whatsoever. They don't want to waste their time or money. You send them a packet and it gets put in 'the stack.' It's like, you can just stay home and work and play shows here. As long as we can do it on our own and be successful, we'll do that. But at the moment someone comes knocking on our door with a bigger, better opportunity, we're gonna listen."
Not that there's anything wrong with the Lawrence music scene, which has more than welcomed Clint K Band into the fold.
"For a town of its size, it's unbelievable," Clint says. "It's gotten better and bigger."
"It's a good place for now," Chet adds. "Eventually, it might be good for us to move because we're one of the few bands locally that kind of sounds the way we do. There's not many bands in our genre in this area. I'd say we're straight ahead pop-rock. Most of the bands around here are more ... this is a crude term, but 'indie rock' or 'emo.' It's amazing music, but a lot of the regular people who come to shows come to hear that type of music. So maybe someday it might be beneficial for us to move where there's a market for our type of music."
For now though, Clint K Band is firmly committed to maintaining its high profile right here in Larryville.
"There's so many bands," Chet enthuses. "Because we're here, we don't realize how big some of them really are and what they're doing for everyone else — bringing a lot of attention to this area. The Get Up Kids, Ultimate Fakebook, The Anniversary and Applseed Cast are doing really well. Shiner, Kill Creek - you can go on forever. It's great to be a part of it."

Paul Morgan of Biloxi, Miss., has been busy the past few weeks lining up Web site viewers, at $20 each, to watch him slice off both his feet on Oct. 31 with a homemade guillotine. Morgan's feet are nonfunctional because of an automobile accident, and he wants hydraulically operated prostheses to make him more mobile, but this is the only way he knows to raise the $200,000 to buy them. Although traffic on CutOffMyFeet.com is heavy, as of mid-August, Morgan had signed up 10 viewers.
NEWS OF THE WEIRD
Curt Storey, 62, who lives near Pittsburgh, Pa., filed a wrongful-discharge lawsuit in August against Burns International Security Services, claiming he was fired from his job because he refused supervisors' demands that he cleanse his lunchbox and pickup truck of Confederate flag decals, orders that he calls illegal national-origin discrimination. Storey claims he is a "Confederate Southern American," even though he is a lifelong Pennsylvanian and even though courts have not recognized CSA as a protected class under anti-discrimination law.

Good ol' boys out of control
In August, Naples (Fla.) City Councilman Fred Tarrant demanded that local artist Ted Lay's "Famous Tongue Mona Al Monica" painting (side-by-side impressions of Mona Lisa, Albert Einstein and Monica Lewinsky sticking their tongues out) be removed from its place at a Naples municipal art center because he thinks Lewinsky's "tongue" too much resembles a penis (which Lay denies). According to a Naples Daily News report, Tarrant is in fact blind but said various advisers have assured him that the tongue is a penis.
In May in Stroudsburg, Pa., Noah Berryman, 19, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter; hours after earning his driver's license. Berryman was trying to get his car airborne on a hill (he launched 63 feet on the fourth attempt) when he hit a tree, killing the two friends riding with him. And in February, a 52-year-old man shot a 21-
year-old man to death on I-75 in Tennessee as the men hauled 30 fighting roosters to a cockfight in Kentucky; the older man was angry that the younger man kept kicking the back of his seat. And in June, as Knox County (Tenn.) sheriff's deputies surrounded an auto parts store looking for suspect Charles "Cracker" Dunn, his brother, Melvin "Squirt" Dunn Jr., jumped on cars, waved his arms and defiantly challenged them, before they stormed the store and arrested him (but not Cracker who wasn't there).
Unclear on the concept
In July, according to police, an unidentified man stole an ax from a Home Depot in Oklahoma City and used it menacingly to rob a clerk and shortly thereafter did the same at two other stores, including a Wal-Mart. On interviewing witnesses, police learned that a Wal-Mart door greeter had seen the man enter carrying the ax but his only impulse was to make sure that he did his job and placed a sticker on the ax so that when the man later tried to exit the store, he wouldn't be charged for it.
In May, a court in Edmonton, Alberta, sentenced William Piggott, 55, to 18 months' house arrest for three 1999 offenses in which prostitutes had turned him in for talking too dirty. According to court records, Piggott had merely asked the women if they would have sex with dogs.
In May, several months after the Escondido, Calif., library's resident cat attacked Richard R. Espinosa's 50-pound Labrador-mix assistance dog, Espinosa filed a $1.5 million
The litigious society
claim against the city, alleging that he was in bad shape because of the dog's injuries. According to the legal papers, Espinosa suffers "significant lasting, extreme and severe mental anguish and emotional distress including, but not limited to, terror, humiliation, shame, embarrassment, mortification, chagrin, depression, panic, anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, loss of sleep (and) loss of full enjoyment of life as well as other physical and mental afflictions of pain (and) suffering."

dorm at Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, fell on him. In July 2001, Mr. Mackle's family filed a lawsuit for about $660,000 (U.S.) for wrongful death against the machine's manufacturer and distributor, Coca-Cola, and the university. The lawsuit claims that each defendant was negligent in not posting signs on the machine that college students should resist the temptation to rock it. According to the coroner's report, the late Mr. Mackle was well-known by his friends for securing free sodas by rocking the machine and was once again engaged in his craft when the fatal accident occurred.

Mary Lee Sowder filed a lawsuit in Roanoke, Va., against the local PetsMart store for $100,000 for injuries to her knee that she suffered when she slipped and fell on "dog slobber," which was allegedly drooled upon the floor by the manager's own huge dog (of unspecified breed).
- Kevin Mackle died at age 21 in 1998 when a Coke machine he was rocking in a
According to police reports in the Daily Independent (Ashland, Ky.) in June, Clark Schneeberger, 44, heard that

s father in law Richard J. Kouns, was angry that his daughter and Schneeberger had fought several days before and was on his way over to defend his daughter's honor. Schneeberger prepared for the interfamily visit by
strapping on body armor and equipping himself with a bayonet and brass knuckles. Kouns arrived swinging, and the two battled until Schneeberger subdued Kouns by biting off part of his nose (an attack that earned
Schneeberger a grand jury indictment several days later).
Undignified deaths
A 26-year-old SWAT police officer in Dallas was accidentally shot to death by a colleague in June as the two men showed trainees how to react to a gunman in a public place. And a 14-year-old girl died when the all-terrain vehicle in
which she was riding smashed into a tractor-trailer; she was in the vehicle because she was visiting her father's workplace as part of Take Our Kids to Work Day (Welland, Ontario, November 2000, and for which a lawsuit was filed in May 2001). And the Alcoholics Anonymous chapter in Milwaukee still does not know who the man was who collapsed and died during a meeting on May 23 (because those attending meetings usually do so anonymously).
Tyranny of the minority of one
In July, the University of South Florida agreed to pay $25,000 to a former art student to settle her 1999 lawsuit claiming that she felt sexually harassed by a class-discussion photograph of a naked white woman clinching a naked black man, despite the fact that that day's topic was controversial art and that all 250 students in the class had been warned of the nature of the class and advised they would not be penalized for missing it. (Shortly after the class, the woman's father complained, and the graduate assistant who supplied the photograph was transferred, which ignited a public protest by all the rest of the students in the class.)
