Kansas City postal office tests positive for anthrax
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Preliminary tests on trash at a specialized Kansas City postal facility were positive for anthrax, health officials said last night.
"I want to stress that there are no individuals that are infected, that we are taking more precautionary and prudent measures," said Rex Archer, director of the Kansas City, Mo., Health Department.
The positive samples came from two trash bags containing material from employees' wastebaskets in one section of the Stamp Fulfillment Services Center, manager Gary Stone said. The Centers for Disease Control is planning further tests to confirm the presence of anthrax.
Located in a complex of caves in northeastern Kansas City, the center is the national repository for the Postal Service's collector stamps. In one section, where no anthrax was detected, about 160 to 170 employees fill orders for stamps.
The positive samples came from a second, smaller section that was the destination for all first-day cancellations shipped from post offices around the country. About 30 to 40 people work in that section, stamping the cancellations by hand or machine and mailing them out to collectors.
conectors. Stone said 14 trays of first-day cancellations — about 7,000 pieces of mail — were received at the center on Oct. 19 from the Brentwood postal facility in Washington, D.C. Two employees of the now-closed Brentwood facility have died of inhalation anthrax.
After arriving in Kansas City, the trays from Brentwood sat untouched over the weekend. On Monday, Oct. 22, Stone ordered the trays set aside and shrink-wrapped. Employees' wastebaskets were also emptied for testing.
None of the Brentwood mail has tested positive for anthrax, Stone said last night, and it was unclear how the employees' trash might have become contaminated.
The first-day cancellation center will remain closed for now, but the stamp fulfillment operation is open. Stone said.
Last week, the centers' 200 workers were advised to take antibiotics as a precaution. About 50 workers were tested Friday for possible anthrax contamination.
Last night, health workers were interviewing postal workers to ask about anthrax symptoms, and to tell them to contact their doctor so they could take preventative medication.
Online enrollment in sight
Project tentatively slated to begin in Fall 2003
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Almost 100 years of student records have interfered with implementation of online enrollment at the University of Kansas.
Academic records for almost 500,000 students — some dating as far back as 1905 — must be converted from the current database system to the new Student Administration System software before online enrollment is possible.
Bob Turvey, project manager, said all the records needed to be converted simultaneously to make retrieval of records easier. He said that when he was associate registrar last year, the office received requests almost weekly for transcripts from as long ago
as the 1930s.
Turvey said online enrollment might be available in Spring 2003 for the following fall semester — if the current schedule holds.
"We have detailed project plans and target completion dates." Turvey said. "But in a project of this magnitude, everything will not go our way."
Richard C. Morrell, University registrar, said the online enrollment project was important for the University.
"It's just not convenient for some students to come to 151 Strong Hall," Morrell said, citing commuter students, student interns and those overseas.
Online enrollment would offer almost every student electronic access to information, including class fees and add/drop requests, Morrell said.
But students would still have set times to enroll online.
said Cindy Derritt, associate registrar for enrollment services.
"A server can't handle 24,000 students at one time," Derritt said. "Some kind of staggering will still go on."
Derritt said that advising deans stamps, upperclassman preference and perhaps even permits to enroll would remain operational during online enrollment.

"They may look different, but they won't go away," she said.
Until electronic registration is available, Derritt's focus remains making the enrollment process easier for students.
process. The 50-minute wait to enroll was Casey Old's biggest complaint. The Yates Center senior showed up early for his 1 p.m. appointment Friday and, even though there was no line at the enrollment center door, Old was told students were served by appointment.
Students often have to deal with a lot of paperwork when enrolling, which can add to the stress of the enrollment process.

Day of the Dead time to celebrate life
3
Students remember loved ones during Hispanic holiday
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Raymond Rico remembers visiting the cemetery when he was younger to pay respect to his deceased relatives as part of el Dia de los Muertos.
Rico, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, said after visiting the cemetery, he and his family would go to his aunt's house and eat pan dulce, also known as sweet bread. Rico said his family would also put pictures of their late relatives and light candles on an altar, which was set up as part of the celebration.
Like some other Hispanics, Rico celebrates el Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, today and tomorrow. According to information from the Multicultural Resource Center, the holiday combines elements of Christianity and pre-Columbian concepts of death into a celebration of life.
The Day of the Dead consists of two days, according to the Kansas Advisory Committee on Hispanic Affairs (KACHA). On the first day of November, celebrations are dedicated to children who have died. Adults who have died are honored and remembered on the second dav
As part of the celebration, families set up altars in their homes with pictures of loved ones, candles, flowers

Chancellor responds to student concerns in open forum
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said that a shortage of state funds would make faculty salary increases difficult, but that he doesn't think that would keep good faculty away from the University of Kansas.
away from the Hemenway addressed faculty salaries and other concerns last night with about 30 students and members of Student
Senate in Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
"I don't have much tolerance for the argument that we can't keep any good researchers just because our salaries are low." Hemenway said.
Hemenway said more went into keeping graduate students and part-time faculty at the University than just wages.
He said he thought the positive and unique environment at the University was a
bigger factor for keeping faculty members.
Amy Cummins, graduate senator and member of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, said other employees of the University, such as graduate teaching assistants, deserved more money.
Hemenway said the University put academics first. However, he said it was hard for the administration to raise salaries of faculty members.
The salaries for those positions are
partially state funds and partially private funds," Hemenway said. "This University knows that it is not as well funded as our peer institutions."
He said it would be hard to pay the faculty the same wages as other schools that received higher contributions, such as Stanford.
Hemenway also answered questions about how the athletics department handles its programs.
"There were times that we weren't getting straight answers," she said.
Andrea Dyche, Shawnee junior, said Hemenway didn't offer many solutions.

CAMPUS Minority group funding bill to be voted on by full Senate
The Black Student Union is one step closer to getting $3,245 from Senate.
chosen to getting 63,245 from Counter Last night, the Finance and Multicultural Affairs committees passed a bill allocating money to the group, which could use the funds to send 65 members to the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government at the University of Missouri.
The bill will go to full Senate Wednesday night for a final vote.
The Black Student Union originally asked for $4,355, but its members agreed to a lesser amount because some members of the Finance committee raised concerns about Senate going over budget if it kept giving large sums of money to groups.
Jamel Bell, graduate senator, said Senate budget concerns should not be held against the Black Student Union.
Bell, who put the bill together, said giving money to the group would help minority recruitment and retention efforts at the University of Kansas and that it would send a positive message to minority students.
The Finance and University Affairs committees also passed a bill allocating $4,000 to the School of Architecture and the Architecture Student Union to pay for two speakers to come to the KU.

New York woman dies of anthrax exposure
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A hospital worker with a mysterious case of inhalation anthrax died early yesterday, the nation's fourth fatality in one month of bio-terrorism.
Kathy T. Nguyen, 61, died three days after check ingerself into Lenoox Hill Hospital and is New York City's first case of the inhaled form of the disease.
City's first case of the infestation also yesterday, a post office spokesman said an employee at a second regional mail facility in New Jersey was suspected to have skin anthrax, and White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said a co-worker of Nguyen had a suspicious lesion that has been tested. There are no results yet, he said at the White House.
"Somebody is trying to kill the American people by sending anthrax through the mail." Fleischer said. "The president believes the actions of the government have saved lives. He regrets that these attacks have resulted in the loss of anybody's life."
Nguyen's illness, and that of a New Jersey accountant who contracted the less serious skin anthrax, complicated the investigation by raising new worries that tainted letters are contaminating other mail or that the spores are sickening people by means other than the mail.
Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health said worries about "cross-contamination" anthrax spores sticking to pieces of mail at

The latest victims raised the number of confirmed anthrax cases to 17 nationwide since the outbreak began in early October. Ten have the inhaled form, including the four who died. The others have less-severe skin infections.
The others have less severe Nguyen, an immigrant from Vietnam who lived alone and commuted to the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital by subway from the Bronx, worked in a basement supply room. Until recently, the space had included a mailroom, but there was no evidence of any suspicious letter.
Thomas Rich, a co-worker of Nguyen, said "almost everyone in the hospital came in contact with her," because she delivered supplies to various departments and offices.
Up to 2,000 hospital workers, patients and visitors who have been to the hospital since Oct. 11 are being offered antibiotics, officials said Tuesday. The hospital was closed and other hospitals in the city were alerted to take precautions and report any suspicions.
Taliban says it's ready to talk
President Bush launched the air assault after the Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, chief suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States.
United States "That's the message for Americans," chief Taliban spokesman Amir Khan Muttaqi said in an interview with the first Western reporter allowed into Kabul since the bombing began Oct. 7.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Four weeks into the U.S.-led air campaign, a senior Taliban official said yesterday the ruling militia is willing to negotiate an end to the conflict — but as a sovereign nation and not "a province of the United States."
"We do not want to fight," Muttaqi added. "We will negotiate. But talk to us like a sovereign country. We are not a province of the United States, to be issued orders to. We have asked for proof of Osama's involvement, but they have refused. Why?"

they have Before the bombing campaign began, Bush brushed aside offers from the Taliban to negotiate bin Laden's status — including offers to hand him over to a third country or even try him here under Islamic law.
The United States has repeatedly said the demand to surrender bin Laden and his lieutenants in the al-Qaida network is not negotiable, and waves of bombers have pounded the capital and other cities.

LAWRENCE Morning muffin attack leads to KU student being charged
A 20-year-old KU student was arrested Tuesday morning after damaging three muffins at the Jayhawk Food Mart, 701 W. Ninth St., Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence police department said.
The damage to the three muffins was estimated at $3.27. An employee at the food mart called the police because the student was pushing and swinging at store employees, Patrick said.
When police arrived, the student resisted arrest. He was eventually arrested and booked on charges of disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and interference with the duties of a law enforcement officer. He was released on $300 bond.

Engineers and educators may join forces to teach
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Two University of Kansas deans are considering joining forces to teach high school students about technology and to improve the capabilities of University of Kansas students in the teaching field.
Angela Lumpkin, dean of education, said the goal was to make high school students more prepared for college.
She said she and Carl E. Locke Jr., dean of engineering, have considered ideas such as team-teaching courses, which would be taught by professors from both schools, and having KU students teach science classes in Lawrence public
SCHOOLS.
"We want to make sure teachers, when they leave KU, are optimally prepared to teach science, math, engineering and technology," she said.
schools.
Locke and Lumpkin attended a national conference, "Taking the Lead: A Deans Summit on Education," earlier this month to gain more ideas.
Lynn Murison, outreach administrator for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Educational Activities Board, which co-sponsored the conference, said this was the first time educators from engineering and teaching were brought together.
"Right now, teachers at the K
through 12 level really need help teaching technology." she said
"We need people to push the economy and solve the problems that will come up," she said.
Murison said engineers would be needed in the coming years as the baby boomers retire.
Pairs of deans from fifty universities in the United States and other countries attended the conference, which also was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the United Engineering Foundation.

Challenger Eagle to take flight before Kansas football game
By Ryan Malashock Kansan staff writer
The well-traveled Challenger Eagle will fly during the pregame show before the University of Kansas' game against Oklahoma Saturday.
A patriotic symbol, the eagle highlighted the pregame festivities at Game 3 of the World Series in New York Tuesday night. The eagle has flown at every Yankee game since the Sep.11 attacks.
The eagle and its handler will be at Memorial Stadium Saturday night, and the eagle will be presented during pregame ceremonies before Kansas' game vs. Nebraska.
"Getting the eagle gives us the opportunity to show just how patriotic KU is," said Marc Gibson, assistant director of marketing.
Throughout its life, the 12-year-old bird has flown at the World Series of 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the 99 Fiesta Bowl, the David Letterman show, Good Morning America, Dateline and the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics. The bird also has flown for several presidents.
Earlier this season, the marketing department brought in a field-size United States flag to cover the field during pregame ceremonies in Kansas' game. Gibson said the eagle would evoke stronger feelings.

"Seeing the eagle should be even more touching and more emotional than that," Gibson said. "We should have the best
the marketing department first came up with the Challenger Eagle idea last week, and Gibson said he had been calling people and looking for sponsors since last Friday.
Gibson said the department successfully raised the money needed and said bringing in the eagle would cost the University nothing. Several private sponsors and Pi Beta Phi sorority have donated the money.
"We knew this was one of the ways to kind of show our national pride," said Brianne Brannan, president of Pi Beta Phi. "We wanted to sponsor the American Eagle Foundation."

"It involves the whole family," said Santos Nunez, program director for the Multicultural Resource Center. "It's great because it is a way of seeing how everything connects and is a part of life. It shows you do go on after death."
She said the center, with help from the University of Kansas Hispanic Network and Hispanic American Leadership Organization, set up an altar in the center's study room.
Nunez said her family in the United States celebrated the Day of the Dead by reciting the rosary and praying.
She said it would be up until tomorrow afternoon for anyone to see.
"Cultural education is gaining more importance," said Andrew Weil, assistant director of public service for the museum. "It's a valuable exhibit to educate people."
The Museum of Anthropology also has a Day of the Dead exhibit, which is open through Nov.29.
Weil said the exhibit was popular. He said in one day 160 people passed through the exhibit.

PERSPECTIVE
This week,graduate teaching assistants work for improved working conditions
Despite their valuable and essential labor, GTAs are not fairly compensated by the University of Kansas. Nor does it seem that the University respects the work we perform, when ludicrously low wages and sub-par working conditions are the norm. In fact, to many members of the university community, the University seems to be more of a business than a school, and quality education is the first thing to suffer.
The week of Oct. 28 to Nov. 3 is Campus Equity Week, which focuses attention on issues of fairness and equality of education. Campus Equity Week is honored by teachers and their unions across the United States and Canada, and yesterday was devoted to recognizing the work of graduate employees.
Commentary
The week falls at an intriguing time for the University of Kansas. The negotiations for a new contract between graduate teachers, who feel they are not being compensated fairly for their work, and the University have already entered their second year.
The negotiations process involves University administrators and their legal team meeting to exchange counter-proposals with the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition (GTAC).
Amy Cummins Columnist opinionakansan.com
GTAC is the union representing all GTAs,affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the Kansas Association of Public Employees (KAPE).
When an administrator earns 20 times what a graduate teacher makes, the University's priorities are out of order. All employees need to be treated fairly have a role in University decision-making.
Working conditions for our graduate teachers remain sub-par when compared with other institutions. Not only are benefits better at other schools including full health care coverage, but the pay is better.
For example, the minimum salary at the University of Iowa is $14,130. At the University of Michigan, GTAs' minimum salary is $12,560.
The University of Kansas doesn't even have a minimum salary. Pay varies
widely, depending on the program. At the University of Kansas, the average GTA pay is above $9,000. But graduate teachers in some departments receive only $8,400 for the school year.
The University needs to allocate enough money so all GTAs earn closer to a living wage. The University might find doing so even helps recruit and retain the best graduate teachers.
Until a new contract is ratified, GTAS' first contract, approved in September 1997, is still in effect.
That initial contract brought such benefits as: guaranteed tuition waiver, 20-hour work week for half-time GTAs (who make up 50 percent of all GTAs), a codified grievance process, contributions to health care for many GTAs and GRAs and a three-credit hour fee waiver guarantee.
GTAC's slogan for this year also is a national motto for Campus Equity Week: "Working conditions equal learning conditions." All undergraduates will work with graduate teachers at some point during their studies at the University. The education of undergraduates is greatly affected by Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs), who teach about one-third of undergraduate courses.
The services provided by the more
than 900 GTAs employed by the University every semester are varied.
Many of us instruct courses autonomously. Other GTA tasks include leading discussion sections for large courses, meeting with individual students in conferences, evaluating essays, operating labs, lecturing, preparing lesson plans and (your favorite part) writing, proctoring and grading examinations.
Managing the University as if it were a corporation negatively affects students' experiences at KU.
Results of "corporatization" start with exploitation of part-time teaching faculty, but also include overcrowded classrooms, inappropriate policies that hurt teaching but save money, and the denial of social justice.
If the University of Kansas wants to be a top-ranked school, it needs to fund education fully and treat its employees better.
Then maybe in future years, Campus Equity Week will be more of an occasion for celebration. But first, the University's educational mission must be a priority

PERSPECTIVE
Women's rally still needs to work on equity
They say college is all about personal growth and finding truth in unexpected places. Over the past few years, I have been extremely critical of Womyn Take Back the Night. This year, for the first time, I decided to drop by.
I had planned to be obnoxious and buy a T-shirt and annoy my feminist friends. Unexpectedly, I found myself moved by the testimonials and performances I witnessed. Womyn Take Back the Night isn't an orgy of male-bashing — it's an opportunity for people who have been affected by violence to give voice to their experiences.
vote to their experience.
I regret I did not understand that earlier, and admit I was wrong in my previous characterizations of the event. Not that I imagine anyone is particularly affected by my columns, but if anyone felt his or her experience was marginalized by my writing, I'm sorry.
justice.
For example, Almas Sayeed asserted in a recent column that "domestic violence continues because of a combination of factors that include women's lack of economic and political equality and lack of access to forming and implementing social policies." She also asserted that "women and children are the most affected victims of any systematic form of perpetrated violence."
What I'm not sorry about is my critique of the feminist interpretation about the underlying causes of these tragedies. If anything, this experience has strengthened my resolve to speak out against the myopic gender obsession that seems to infect any discussion of the subject. Without an advocacy that transcends current single-constituent interest groups, no solution for the social ill that confront us is attainable. This is as true today as it was in 1993 when Cornel West called for a "prophetic leader" to guide America to a new stage of social justice.
However, a quick look at the data from the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics reveals that "males were victimized [by violent crime] at a rate 42 percent higher than females." Further, "most murder victims were male, 75 percent in 1999." In fact, about 65 percent of murders were one male killing another one. If this is the result a system set up to benefit men, I'd say the patriarchy is failing pretty miserably.

ives are also closely tied to income. A person in a family with an annual income of less than $7,500 is nine times as likely to be a victim of a violent crime committed by a relative than is a person in a family with an income of more than $75,000. Further, minorities are significantly more likely to be victims of violent crime, as well as far more likely to be incarcerated for violent crime.
they need to understand that violence isn't a gender issue, it's a social issue. Moreover, violence is an issue that affects women in a variety of forms, with abuse forming only a fraction of the whole.
But a "gendered analysis" never brothers to look up from its navel-gazing to see the world as it is. The "nature, context and source of cycles of intimate violence" is closely tied with problems I've identified before: income disparity, urban decay and the tendency of desperate young men to resort to violence and terrorize their communities.
Even in truly oppressive societies, the oppression is never limited to only women. To address these kinds of complex problems requires a form of advocacy that looks beyond a clannish impulse to form exclusionary groups and focus on single issues and single interpretations.
While some have already protested that they only want "equality" and are not single gender advocates, they need to back up these words with action. Be as upset about violence on Prospect Avene as you are about violence on Massachusetts Street. Worry as much about throat cancer as breast cancer. Lobby as hard for male low-wage workers as you do female low-wage workers.
While I believe most feminist advocates really do want to stop violence
Until this is done, the roots of violence will remain buried, and men and women across America will be forced to taste its bitter fruit.

Fugitive can't escape 1970s' deeds
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Former Symbionese Liberation Army fugitive Sara Jane Olson pleaded guilty today to attempting to murder police officers with bombs in 1975.
The surprise plea came in an agreement that did not guarantee Olson a specific sentence. Her lawyers said they expected her to get about five years in prison, but the judge warned she could be sentenced to life behind bars.
Olson admitted possessing explosives devices and attempting to explode them in two incidents — one at the Hollenbeck
Olson was on the run for more than 20 years for her participation in SLA's illegal activities. The group was a radical group that gained fame by kidnapping newspaper heiress Patty Hearst.
Police Station in Los Angeles and another near a House of Pancakes restaurant in Hollywood on Aug. 21, 1975.
The agreement calls for Olson to surrender to the California Department of Corrections on Jan. 8 with a recommendation from prosecutors that she be allowed to serve her time in Minnesota near her family.
Defense lawyers and prosecutors had spent more than four hours in the judge's chambers before the agreement was announced.
Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler said most of the discussions centered on how much time Olson would have to serve

Her husband, Fred Peterson, her mother, Elsie Soliah, and her daughter Sophie Peterson, sat in the front row of the courtroom as
the plea was entered yesterday. Earlier, her daughter had been in tears, hugging her mother as she entered the courtroom.
A grand jury had accused Olson of attempting to murder officers in retaliation for the deaths of six members of the radical group who died in a shootout and fire in 1974. The bombs did not explode.
Her arrest two years ago came soon after the FBI offered a $20,000 reward on the 25th anniversary of the SLA shootout and her case was featured on the television show America's Most Wanted.
Investigators explore why Russian sub sank
The Associated Press
MOSCOW—Authorities investigating the explosions that sank the nuclear submarine Kursk are focusing on dents in its hull, a top Cabinet official said yesterday as experts pulled out a 65th body from the wrecked vessel.

"We need to very thoroughly deal with those dents which we see on the submarine to make thorough calculations to make sure what it was that caused them," Deputy Prime Minister Ilya Klebanov said on Russian
television. Klebanov spoke after visiting the northern Russian port of Roslyakovo, where investigators are examining what triggered the explosions that sank the sub, leaving it on Barents Sea floor for more than a year.
Explosions sank the Kursk during military exercises on Aug. 12, 2000, killing all 118 crewmen. Officials agree that the explosion of one of the Kursk's own torpedoes sank the vessel, but they say they don't know what caused that blast.
ated Russia's position that it could have been an internal malfunction — as most Western experts believe — or a collision with another vessel or a World War II mine.
Steeped in the history of Cold War cat-and-mouse games with American submarines, some Russian military officials said they suspected a foreign submarine hit the Kursk.
On Tuesday, Klebanov reiter
The United States and Great Britain operate submarines in the Barents Sea and had vessels monitoring the Russian naval exercises when the Kursk sank
Klebanov said yesterday that the dents could have been the result of "an external impact" or of the submarine hitting the seabed — or a vacuum effect from a powerful explosion inside.

Investigators have identified 39 of the bodies recovered since last week, officials said yesterday.
The Northern Fleet said 18 coffins containing the sailors' remains have been flown to their hometowns.
Psychic Miss Cleo accused of baiting callers
the Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — The marketers behind television psychic Miss Cleo were accused yesterday of violating New York's "Do Not Call" telemarketing law more than 100 times in the past seven months.
C. Adrienne Rhodes, the executive director of the Consumer Protection Board, said
Access Resource Services also called the Psychic Readers Network may be subject to as much as $224,000 in fines.
According to the agency, Access-PRN misleads customers into thinking they can get a free psychic reading. But Rhodes said the "psychics" employed by Access-PRN can only be reached by dialing a 900 number at $3.99 a minute.
She also said the psychics seem more interested in keeping people on the telephone than in giving them a reading.
"This so-called 'psychic' service appears to be a scam to keep people on the telephone for as long as possible." Rhodes said.
Calls to Access-PRN were referred yesterday to attorney Joel Dichter, who didn't immediately return a request for comment.
Under the April 1 telemarketing law, New Yorkers sign up on a registry that prohibits unsolicited calls from marketers at certain hours and companies from making aggressive, confusing sales pitches over the telephone.
More than 2 million people have signed up.
Rabbi changes part of previous testimony

CAMDEN, N.J. — A rabbi charged with having his wife murdered took back one element of his previous testimony.
of his previous visit.
Yesterday, the final day of testimony in his trial, Rabbi Fred J. Neulander said he did not love Elaine Soncini, with whom he was having an affair at the time of his wife's death.
Neulander, 60, said he was not sincere in a letter he wrote Soncini on Jan. 4, 1995, professing his love. He only wrote it because he wanted the relationship to continue, he said.
On Tuesday, he said he had written it as a sign of love.
"I gave the wrong impression." Neulander said yesterday. "And I used the wrong words."
The case was expected to go to the jury today — seven years to
the day after Carol Neulander, 52, was found dead in the couple's home.
If convicted, Neulander could face the death penalty.
The jury also heard from a surprise witness, James "Mickey" Rooney, a friend of Len Jenoff, the man who said last year that the rabbi paid him to kill Carol Neulander.
Rooney testified that he and Jenoff discussed how Jenoff could profit from the killing by selling his story for a book or movie. Rooney said Jenoff told him it was important that Neulander be found guilty — or the story wouldn't sell.
story would use Jenoff, 56, and his confessed accomplice, Paul Michael Daniels, 27, both pleaded guilty last year to aggravated manslaughter and are awaiting sentencing.
Fluke 911 call results in teen-agers' arrest
The Associated Press
HUTCHINSON — Two teenagers talked their way into handcuffs by way of a cell phone call to 911 on Monday.
Dispatchers listened to a 20-minute discussion between the 19- and 18-year-old men, including an alleged boast of a planned armed robbery.
The pair allegedly were smoking marijuana around noon in their apartment when someone either sat on or hit a cell phone, said Hutchinson Police Detective Sgt. Clay Rothe. The blow triggered a call to Reno County 911
"Someday you're going to come home and wonder all your life where this bag of money came from," one of the teens said on
"I'll never tell," he went on. "I will have robbed the Taco Bell and gotten away with it."
That got dispatchers' attention.
The two then drove to a music store. On the way, dispatchers listened to giggling, loud music and worry about being stopped.
Concern about the police proved well-founded, when Hutchinson police officers arrived at Hastings.
Rothe the men allowed police to search them; marijuana was allegedly found on both. Plus a cell phone, still connected to 911.
The pair faces possible misdeaner marijuana charges. No charges had been filed yesterday.

French star skier dies after accident
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — Regine Cavagnoud, a champion skier who feared motorcycle crashes more than spills on the slopes, died yesterday, two days after slamming into a German coach while training on a glacier.
With her family gathered at her bedside, Cavagnoud's respirator was disconnected after tests showed her brain had ceased to function, said Wolfgang Koller, head of the trauma intensive care unit at the Innsbruck University Clinic.
The 31-year-old speed skier had
just cleared a slight hump on the Pitzal glacier and was hurting down the mountain at about 40 mph when Markus Anwander, a coach from the German team, crossed into her path, witnesses told authorities.
Though Cavagnoud suffered severe head injuries, her brain was functioning when she was admitted to the clinic. Koller said. Her condition worsened as brain swelling compounded the existing injuries, he said.
"She could not turn," said Rudolf Koll, a spokesman for the state attorney's office in Innsbruck.
"One cannot say whether he will recover," Norbert Mutz of the Innsbruck hospital told the Austria Press Agency. "He is a seriously injured patient."
Both sustained severe head injuries in the collision and Cavagnoud went into cardiac arrest. Her coach performed CPR before emergency officials airlifted her and Anwander to the Innsbruck hospital.
Anwander underwent spinal surgery yesterday.
German and French ski officials said the accident was caused by communication problems between their teams, which both were practicing on the Pitztal glacier but were operating on different walkie-talkie frequencies.
Jean-Luc Cretier, the French downhill Olympic champion at the 1998 Nagano Games, told RTL radio that Cavagnoud was a great champion whose death came as a result of her dedication to skiing.
"She died for her work, because of her work," he said. "It is always the best who go first."
Yankee's clutch hitting in ninth ties Series

"When you think about it, it does

The celebration wouldn't have been possible without Martinez, who made sure his career with the Yankees will last at least until a Game 6 in Arizona.
Martinez is in the final year of his contract and his future in New York is in doubt. The Yankees have been grooming top prospect Nick Johnson to take over at first base and also might be interested in signing reigning AL MVP Jason Giambi.
uenet. With the tricky, side-arming Kim on the mound, their chances didn't look good even after Paul O'Neill's soft single with one out to left field.
Trailing 3-1 entering the ninth, the Yankees were looking at a 3-1 Series
After Bernie Williams struck out, Martinez walked to the plate. He didn't wait to deliver, hitting Kim's first pitch deep to center field over a leaping Steve Finley and tied the game, sending Yankee Stadium into a frenzy.
O'Neill wildly pumped his fist when the ball cleared the wall. The rest of the Yankees leaped out of the dugout in excitement and greeted a smiling Martinez after he touched home plate with the tying run.
La Russia on McGwire: 'I don't expect him back'
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said yesterday he expects slugger Mark McGwire to retire.
"I don't expect him back," La Russa told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from his California home. "Until it's official, he can change his mind. But I believe he's sincere in this. And he's earned our trust."
The Associated Press
McGwire recently referred to him
self kiddingly as La Russa's "former
first baseman." He strongly hinted of retiring several times this time, when he battled just.187 with 29 home runs.
This spring, he agreed to a two-year, $30 million extension, but La Russa said McGwire never signed the document. The extension technically would pay McGwire $14 million next year and $16 million in 2003, with much of it deferred.
"He's got it in a drawer at home," La Russia said. "I don't think some of the owners even know about this."
La Russia said he had been in
touch with McGwire as recently as Tuesday. La Russa said McGwire didn't mention retirement but instead spoke of his belated birthday celebration. He returned 58 on Oct. 1.
La Russia said he believed McGwire would make his decision public in the next month.
"But who knows what he goes through better than him?" La Russa said. "Nobody deals with the frustration he does. Nobody deals with the rehabilitation and nobody deals with the expectations that he does."
La Russa, who has managed McGwire for all but one year since McGwire broke into the major leagues in 1986, is among those who believes McGwire still can play.
McGwire has 583 career home
runs, fifth on the career list.
McGwire labored through the 2000 season with a bad right knee, missing virtually all of the second half of the season.
He had surgery to correct patella tendinitis but again struggled with the knee this season.
Pacers' second-half drive stupefies young Bulls
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Ineffective in the Indiana Pacers' season opener a night earlier, Jermaine O'Neal decided it was time to just play his game.
O'Neal scored 20 of his 25 points in the second half last night as the Pacers ruined Chicago's season opener, defeating the Bulls 98-73.
P
"I got frustrated last night and let them take me out of the game and it was happening again tonight in the first half," said O'Neal, who managed just nine points in a loss to the Nets on Tuesday.
Against the Bulls in the first half, he had three fouls and just five points before dominating during a 17-2 second-half run.
CHICAGO
BULLS
He had 12 points in the spurt, twice starting three-point plays with dunks — one over Chicago rookie Eddy Curry — as Indiana went ahead 82-66 with just over six minutes left.
"I can't let the refs or the other guys do that. I tried to prepare myself physically over the summer, but the mental part has been the weakest part of my game." O'Neal said.
"We need him producing." Pacers coach Isiah Thomas said. "I told him to let us take care of the officials and to concentrate and make them pay at the free throw line. That's pretty much the way he played in the preseason. He started dominating in the paint at the end of last year."
O Neal shot 9-of-15 — 8-of-10 in the second half—and also had 10 rebounds. Jamaal Tinsley added 12 points and 13 assists for the Pacers.
Jalen Rose added 19 points after he scored a career-high 43 points against the Nets on Tuesday night when the Pacers lost after blowing a 17-point lead. He didn't play in the fourth quarter.
Brad Miller scored 24 for the Bulls, who managed just 29 second-half points and nine in the final quarter. Ron Mercer added 22.
Curry, hoping to become a successful pro after entering the NBA straight from high school, scored two points on a basket in the final minute. He shot 1-for-6, including an airball on his first attempt.
Tyson Chandler, another prep-to-pro, got in the game in the fourth quarter for Chicago and sank a

BCS is best for college football
The Bowl Championship Series, which determines the teams that play for the college football national title, is under a microscope again this season from fans, reporters, players and coaches.
Those who are critical of the BCS think it is not a perfect formula to determine who should be crowned national champion, but those cynics fail to see that the formula is better than any possible alternative. It helps teams that play difficult schedules. Big 12 Conference schools benefit in this way because of the BCS, and even though it seems remote, Kansas may also some day benefit because of the formula
Last Saturday, BCS No. 2 Nebraska beat No. 1 Oklahoma, 20-10. No. 3 UCLA also lost. No. 4 Miami, meanwhile, remained the only unbeaten team besides Nebraska, which would logically mean that it should jump up to No. 2 in the standings — right?
Wrong. The Sooners only dropped one spot despite their loss, and Miami only moved up to No. 3—still out of the national championship picture. The Hurricanes have become victims of the BCS formula, which is too difficult to explain to the typical sports fan without the help of a rocket scientist. If you want to get technical, go to http://espn.go.com/abcsports/bcs for an extensive explanation.
Miami fans might be upset by the rankings, but the reality is that their team doesn't deserve to be in position to win a national title at this point in the season. Oklahoma and Nebraska play in the Big 12—the best football conference in the country this season. Miami plays in the Big East Conference—one of the weakest in the nation.
Oklahoma should be rewarded for playing one of the top 10 most difficult schedules in the country, and it has been by the BCS. Miami's schedule strength is the 76th most difficult among Division I-A teams. The Hurricanes can do very little about the strength of their conference, but the team's weak schedule makes its unbeaten record less credible.
Miami might be getting the shaft because of the BCS and the importance the formula places on schedule strength, but the formula is still far better any alternative.
The only suggestion in recent years to replace the BCS has been to implement a playoff system. Fans have to look no further than college basketball for evidence that a playoff system wouldn't be better than the BCS. The NCAA basketball tournament is truly unfair and rarely does the best team leave it as a national champion
In 1997, Kansas lost only two games the entire season by a total of four points but didn't even make it out of the Sweet Sixteen. Arizona, on the other hand, lost nine games during the regular season but rolled through the tournament, winning the title. Sure, Arizona did beat Jayhawks in the tournament, but that one regional semifinal game should not have determined the champion. Kansas was the country's best team and it deserved to go to the Final Four.
This season, the Kansas football team has the most difficult schedule in the country. If it were any good, which its 2-5 record shows that it is obviously not, the team would benefit from the BCS formula. Assuming the teams within the conference remain strong, and they should, Big 12 schools should hope the BCS is around for a long time.

K-State stomps Jayhawks
Wildcats out-play Kansas in volleyball match-up on court. in statistics
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
12 5 14
The Kansas State volleyball team dominated Kansas last night, sweeping the Jayhawks 30-18, 30-21 and 30-23.
The Wildcats destroyed the Jayhawks in game one, out-blocking them five to one and hitting 50 percent to Kansas' -17.2 percent. Kansas' 12 service errors contributed to the negative percentage
AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
Senior outside hitter Lisa Mimick led the Wildcats with six kills in game one. She had 15 kills and 13 digs on the match.
The volleyball team's record is now 13-12 (3-11 in the Big 12 Conference).
The Jahawks' inferior offensive numbers in game one were accentuated by the low totals of the two leading scorers. Sophomore outside hitters Sarah Rome and Abbie Jacobson tied with three each.
Game two saw much of the same poor play by the Jayhawks, as junior middle blocker Molly Scavuzzo contributed
Junior hitter Kylie Thomas, left, and sophomore Danielle McHenry are unable to block a spike from Kansas state. KU lost 3-0 to the Wildcats last night at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
four of her seven total kills. Scavuzzo's mark of seven lead the team.
Kansas started game three strong,
leading 6-1 to start. But Kansas State got
right back into the game with a 5-0 run and tied the game at seven, which allowed the Wildcats to pull away
The Wildcats dominated the Jayhawks
in all key statistical areas. They had 51 kills, 55 digs and 11 blocks to the Jayhawks' 25 kills, 45 digs and eight blocks
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said he was disappointed and surprised at how poorly his team played.
"We played well Sunday and we practiced well leading up to this," Bechard said. "We thought we were poised to give a good effort and we didn't.
"We did start game three well, but we didn't sustain," Bechard said. "We talked a lot about what they were going to do, but we didn't take care of our side of the net and what we needed to do to be successful."
Bechard wasn't surprised by the dominant performance of a Kansas State team that was both taller and older.
"They played really well," Bechard said. "They played clean and they looked very comfortable. We didn't do much to take them out of what they wanted to do."
Rome sat out the entire third game.
Scavuzzo said the real Kansas team simply didn't show up.
Visions of ESPN dance in their heads
"We just didn't do it tonight," Scavuzo said. "We just didn't compete."

A home win against Nebraska: that would be Kyle Grady's SportsCenter highlight.
You remember the ESPN commercials, don't you? Athletes daydreaming about their ideal moments, their time in the sun, and, ultimately, their time on the cable sports station.
That's the fantasy for Kansas players this week. For a team that's thirsty for motivation, the dream of an upset has become a driving force in preparing for the Cornhuskers, who are No.2 in the Associated Press poll and No.1 in the Bowl Championship Series rankings.
"Beating the No. 1 team in the country and we'd be the highlight of SportsCenter," said Grady, a senior offensive lineman.
More than the publicity that would come with beating the 'Huskers, Grady said the team needed a positive turn in what has been a frustrating season.
"I think the team needs it really bad," he said. "We need something in the season that's going to uplift you."
Even Terry Allen joined the talk about SportsCenter
"When you're 19-, 20-, 21 years old, you love to have that opportunity for that SportsCenter moment," Allen said. "Hey, you beat Nebraska and you're going to be the opening for SportsCenter for 24 hours."
you are going to be the opening for oppenions the odds are weighed heavily against them. Despite Kansas' optimism, they know the odds are weighed heavily against them. The Jayhawks have won two times in 19 tries against teams ranked either No.1 or No.2. They've lost 10 consecutive games against ranked teams and have dropped 32 straight to Nebraska.
The players are aware of the situation, and so is Allen, which was evident by his sarcasm yesterday.
Junior center Nick Smith cracked a smile when he said the Jayhawks were still mathematically alive for a bowl (they'd have to win their last five games to become eligible). And Allen started yesterday's press conference joking about forgetting his wife's Halloween birthday.
"I'm in enough trouble as it is," Allen said, referring to the job pressure he's faced as his team appears to be spiraling toward its fifth losing season in his five years.
in his five years. The sarcasm masked a frustration that's been building through the 2-5 season. But all the frustration would be forgotten with a miracle win on Saturday.

Sarah Ruhlen, Lawrence resident, discusses her approach to poetry writing at Aimee's Coffee Shop, 1025 Massachusetts St., a local venue for monthly poetry readings. Ruhlen is a member of Medusa, a collective of women poets that gathers to read and critique each other's work.
Passionate about poetry
Public poetry readings inspire emotion, humor in local writers
BY MANDALEE MEISNER
Cups in a Dream Kitchen on
Some sit straight up, gripping a pad of paper and feeding a string of barely audible words into the microphone at their side.
Others scream, ignoring the microphone altogether.
Some read poems of burning hatred, smoldering lust or cynicism. A few poems are about love, or at least seem to be.
At this poetry reading, anything goes.
Open poetry reading 10 p.m. until close the first Wednesday of every month at the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St.
Lawrence residents Brett Scott, left, and Mickey Cesar-Argumedo bring poetry to The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St. The two are the co-founders of the Table Top Poetry Project, which displays poems in various local coffee shops.
"This is the happiest thing I've written in the last six weeks," he said. "Every month I check to see if I wrote anything happy."
As long as a reading evokes some emotion from the audience, Mickey Cesar Argumedo is satisfied. Argumedo acts as conductor to the cast of readers arranged before the podium, sitting on the floors and at the tables of Aimee's Coffeehouse, 1025 Massachusetts St.

"Some of my friends died of alcoholism this month," she said,

"It kind of pissed me off."

to get their works out into the poetry community.
"As of three years ago, there were very few public readings in town and there were many poets that wanted performance forums, feedback and publishing opportunities," Argumedo said.
Now, his is just one of three no-holds-barred monthly readings that, together, are changing the shape of the Lawrence poetry scene.
Members of the scene, like Steve Fonseca, are pleased with the growth.
the good luck "It's finally being born here and now we're growing up fast," he said.
Fonseca organized a poetry slam that takes place on the first Wednesday of every month at the Jazzhaus, 926 Massachusetts St.
Fonseca's Jazzhaus "slam" brings together an array of poets, performers and comics backed by a live band that defies the conventions of typical poetry readings.
Because of the unusual setting, the poetry is also of a different brand — raw and uncensored. With a drinking crowd, the readers are constantly challenged to keep the audience's attention.
"It's in a bar, so you're reading in front of a rowdier crowd," Fonseca said. "Yelling and cussing is highly encouraged from the audience."
"People like to laugh and they like to be pissed off," Fonseca said. "When I'm up there, I'm there to give the crowd a show. If you want to read Emily Dickinson, that's great for you. Go home and do it."
Inexperienced or first-time readers may also find more lowkey settings, such as Aimee's or Cafe Nova, better for getting over first-time performance jitters.
But Sarah Ruhlen, a member of the Medusa poetry group that meets on the first Thursday of every month at Cafe Nova, Eighth and New Hampshire streets, said she believed a lack of sensitivity could be a limitation at a reading.
"Slams are really fun, but you can't be a very sensitive poet at a poetry slam," Ruhlen said.
Kacia Beugelsdijk, Wichita junior, said she recently read her poetry in public for the first time at Aimee's.
and made it so I wasn't nervous.'
"I always enjoyed coming to poetry readings and just recently decided that I needed to express my thoughts," she said. "Everyone here was really comforting
Along with the monthly reading, Argumento also started a biweekly poetry group that now gets exposure through a traveling, table-top exhibit, which is featured periodically at coffee shops throughout Lawrence. The exhibit can be seen this week at the Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St.
Argumedo agrees that poetry readings can be therapeutic.
"You can pay $85 to have a psychologist listen to you," he said, "Or you can do poetry readings."
Medusa also prints a collection of poetry periodically in zine format. Although only work done by the exclusive group of five
women in Medusa is printed, anyone — men included — is invited to read.
"It's not that we don't like men," Ruhlen said. "We certainly enjoy having them at the reading. But when we're together doing our critiquing, there's a dynamic that's there that wouldn't be if we had men in the group."
Ruhlen said the group enlisted Matt Fowler, a veteran of the Lawrence poetry scene, to help them create a successful poetry reading.
"He sort of babysat us through the process," Ruhlen said.
the process. Powler's readings at Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St.,
and at the now-closed Full Moon Cafe, attracted large crowds and high-profile readers — including beat poet Allen Ginsberg, who visited Free State in 1996.
Fowler said Lawrence was filled with talent and the community should take note.
"Our spoken word artists are every bit as good as artists anywhere, including the East and West Coast," Fowler said. "Sure, there are a lot of yawners, but if you don't go to readings, you'll also miss out on some very good writers."

Late for Dinner provides tasty mix

Billy Ebeling's audience never knows what his band will do next. For The Late for Dinner Band doesn't fit any musical mold, it deifies titles as the band's latest album, Big as Dallas, shows.
The album provides a unique blend of sounds through Ebeling's original works.
"You never know what kind of set we'll play." Ebeling said.
Ebeling, Lawrence resident, has been playing professionally since 1982.
He has played around the world, and even lived in Australia and New Zealand for 12 years.
After returning to Kansas in 1998, Ebeling and a friend from Lawrence High School, Paul Matthews, decided to get a band together. The two later met bass guitarist Ben Shult through an ad.
The band has played with artists Brownie McGhee and Red Holloway. They also have opened for a variety of artists, including Keb' Mo', Taj Mahal and Buckwheat Zydeco. They have even played an after-concert party for Pink Floyd.

REVIEW
Late for Dinner band has off-beat humor unique instruments
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
Billy Ebeling describes the latest CD release of Billy Ebeling and the Late for Dinner Band as an "eclectic fit of all original songs."
Big as Dallas, the follow up to the band's 2001 Zydeco-based File' Gumby, combines a variety of musical styles to create an interesting listening experience.
The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by band member Paul Matthews, who also performs percussion, trumpet and trombone.
All of the songs were written by Ebeling, who provides vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, piano, organ, harmonica and cabassa. Ben Shult provides bass guitar.
The band manages to blend the sounds of country, blues, Zydeco and even Hawaiian rhythms without creating a sense of clashing styles.
The blues-inspired title song "Big as Dallas" and "Macrossan Street" set the mood of the album by showcasing Ebeling's unique and refreshingly simple lyrics.
"Crying Shame" is a lively country style song and an instant favorite.
The band also shows a unique sense of humor with the song "Grandma's Tattoo," an off-beat blues song about aging.
Other memorable songs include the Hawaiian instrumental "Cumon I Wanna Lay Ya," the sentimental "Going Home" and the Latin-style "Donde Esta Mi Cervesa."
If there is anything to be said against the album, it may be that some of the songs seem to run a little long. "Macrossan Street" runs six minutes, with instrumental sections that are almost overly long.

Band to bring crazy punk style to Lawrence
Sunday, the band The Wontons will bring its punk rock sound and crazy stage antics to the Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts St.
The Lawrence show is one of 16 stage dates for the up-and-coming punk band from Austin, Texas. The tour is an effort to expand The Wontons' popularity as well as to promote the band's new CD, Hex Appeal.
Hex Appeal is a CD project that is nothing like the project of today's average rock band. But The Wontons have never been mainstream.
lar to stepping into a time machine that's gone crazy. The lead singer for the band sounds similar to Johnny Rotten, lead singer for the 1970s' punk band The Sex Pistols, in his early years. Quite fittingly, the band's musical sound is similar to that of a garage-punk band in the 1970s.
Listening to The Wontons is simi-
The music is fast and furious in some places and deliberate and methodical in others. In all, The Wontons' Hex Appeal showcases a brand of music that's hard to find in today's music scene.
The second track on Hex Appeal,
"Do the Wonton," sounds like a throwback to the carefree days of the 1960s. The song, features lead singer Dean Hsieh who urges listeners to
"do the wonton" and boasts guitar riffs that sound like they came straight from Steppenwolf. The song is interesting, but "Do The Wonton" has a sound few outside of the punkrock realm can appreciate.
"99 Valentines" is another song that wins The Wontons some popular appeal. The Austin Chronicle said "...This marathon closing track shatters the three minute mold with false endings and a feedback-laden devolution jam that leans heavily towards primordial slop."
Although the song is appealing, it is no surprise The Chronicle didn't know quite what to make of The Wontons. In fact, only true punk fans
Even though The Wontons' fans say the band is a performance band, and a CD can't capture the band's true strengths, it's hard not to be critical of the group. Many of the songs sound similar, and, at times, the band sounds like it is trying to get laughs by sounding stupid

but the humor doesn't last for long.
Today's music scene demands innovation from artists, butHex Appeal might be a sign for The Wontons to return to the studio.

New show features best and worst of dates
By Louise Stauffer Jayplay writer
You may recognize him from MTV's Singled Out, but Chris Hardwick is now the host of another show centered around relationships, the reality dating show Shipmates.
Chris Hardwick may be the host of Shipmates, but he turned the show down six times before he took the job.
"I was a hair's breath away from hosting Win Ben Stein's Money," Hardwick said. Instead, his job as the host of Shipmates is to comment on and "do whatever he wants" about the dates that are video taped and packaged into half-hour shows.
Shipmates shows the best—and worst
Shipmates shows the best and worst — parts of a blind date that take place on a cruise ship. The people on the date choose to be on the show and are paired with a stranger. Shipmates is on television station KSMO Monday through Friday at 11:30 a.m. and midnight.
“Sometimes I feel really bad, but then, they asked to be on the show,” he said. “I think if we all were to record everything we said and did on a microphone and put it under a microscope, we'd be like, 'God, did I say that?'
Reality dating shows such as Blind Date, MTV's Dismissed, and The Fifth Wheel are turning up all over television. Hardwick said he thought reality dating shows were marketed toward a younger audience.
"I think that people in their 20s are most likely to watch," he said.
"...people usually end up unloading on each other by the second day. The people get cranky with each other — it turns into a disgusting zit of unhappiness."
Hardwick said that at times he sympathized with the guests on the show.
"I tell my friends that the show is like Blind Date, except since it's three days long, people usually end up unloading on each other by the second day." Hardwick said. "The people get cranky with each other—it turns into a disgusting zit of unhappiness."
Chris Hardwick Host of Shipmates
"Voyeurism is the main reason why people like to watch reality shows — they like watching other people mess up."
Chris Hardwick, who used to host MTV's Singled Out, is now the host of Shipmates, a reality dating show. He said he gets to comment on and "do whatever he wants" concerning the blind dates in the half-hour videotaped shows.
Hardwick said that since playing host to the show, he has learned to never go on a blind date again.
"They just generally don't go well," he said. "You have to cram all of this information about yourself into the date. It's a pain in the ass. It's basically dating without a choice."
"After Trashed was canceled, I was a little more cynical about working in television, so when I started on Singled Out, I realized that it may not last forever," he said.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Hardwick said that although he writes his own lines for Shipmates, the show Singled Out was more spontaneous.
Singled Out of the Crowd
Although Hardwick's major at UCLA was philosophy, after graduation he got offered a job by a talent director as a host of the new MTV television series, Trashed. Trashed wasn't on the air for long, but Hardwick got another chance when MTV offered him a job as co-host of the dating show Singled Out.
"There was nothing planned on Singled Out. I could say whatever I wanted."
Some might think working with beautiful women such as both of his co-hosts, Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Electra, on Singled Out would be distracting, but not Hardwick.
"I don't really have that frat guy mentality," he said. He said if the girl contestants tried to hit on him, he never knew it. "Besides, I had a girlfriend practically the whole time I was on the show."
Behind the Scenes
Although television audiences may not have seen Hardwick on the screen since Singled Out went off the air, he has been busy.
"Most of the things I do don't get seen," he said. "I've done a ton of pilots that didn't get picked up. One was for ABC from the guys that do Friends."
Hardwick is now starring in the film Jane While is Sick and Twisted, and he will be appearing in next year's film House of 1,000 Corpse, directed by Rob Zombie.
o) Rob's a great guy," Hardwick said. "He's really normal. We hang out and have barbecues in the summer."
Hardwick also just finished taping for Comedy Central's stand up comedy show Premium Blend. The show, which will air on Comedy Central in late November, includes acts from other comedians as well. Hardwick started doing stand up in college and began to perform more regularly in 1999.
"in stand up, you get a rush of adrenaline," he said. "You can't worry about what happens if people don't laugh — sometimes that happens."
Hardwick's plans include doing more sitcom work and more film work. He realizes he is not the only one with such plans.
"That's pretty much what everyone else in this business wants," he said. "In this
business it takes so long to get to where you want to be. I'm still not even close."
A Cooking Comedian
Hardwick's favorite television channels include A&E, the Discovery Channel and the Food Network. He said the Iron Chef was one of his favorite shows on the channel.
"I love to cook. You can make anything taste good if you have the right spices, the right oils," he said. "I'm actually planning on cooking tonight. I'm making a Cajun chicken dish."
Hardwick said one of his most-liked recipes was a southern peanut butter chicken dish.
Hard wick said he had a few ideas for
incorporating cooking into his career.
"I would like to pitch a cooking show that had comics cooking, and they could even be drunk," he said.
Though Hardwick used to be interested in animation as a career, he is now a self-proclaimed "dooodler."
"Animation is really hard to break into — it's a long process," he said. In the past he has pitched show ideas for animation series, but has nothing planned at the moment.
The former philosophy major had a few words of wisdom to offer students.

BOOK REVIEW
'Tunnel Vision' keeps its readers on the fast track to finish

UNDERGROUND
Tunnel Vision by Keith Lowe surprises the reader with a fast-paced, mesmerizing ride through the London Underground. The author sets up a 20-hour race through every Tube station in the rail system.

However, this is not just a superficial adventure. Lowe's effort to portray the London Underground as an analogy to life is made clear in the decisions
Andy has to make throughout his journey.
Having to travel through the maze before he gets married is a good depiction of the struggle humans must face in life.

Tunnel Vision serves as a guide to London's most unusual everyday atmosphere and as a story of a man's struggle to understand his place and purpose in life.

Racy club to roast Playboy king
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A severely edited version of "The New York Friars Club Roast of Hugh M. Hefner" is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. Sunday on Comedy Central.
The New York Friars — a members-only group of entertainers who have poked fun at each other at formal dinners for nearly a century — turned their barbs on Sept. 29 to the Playboy magazine founder, who was an easy target for his libido and his luxurious lifestyle.
huxxed noses is 75 now, so there were the obligatory jokes about Viagra and aging.
"Hugh Hefner is so old, his first condom was made out of bark," Gilbert Gottfried screeched in his trademark voice.
Hefner said he never thought of canceling the evening, but
called the organizers a few days after Sept. 11 to suggest rescheduling it. Ultimately, he left the decision up to them.
Comedy Central executives reevaluated the roast and all other programming after the attacks, said Bill Hilary, the cable channel's executive vice president and general manager.
"We agreed life has to go on. We have to supply comedy as an alternative," Hilary said. "We asked the key talent, and if they felt really against it, then obviously we wouldn't do it."
Comics were told they could joke about the attacks, Hilary said, but were asked not to make an entire routine of the subject because they were there to roast Hefner.
"New York is the greatest city in the world," Kimmel said during his introductions, sparking cheers and applause. "I'm glad
to be here, and I think everyone here will agree that right about now, we can all use a good laugh. Unfortunately, though, our first roaster is Rob Schneider."
Schneider said Hefner "personifies why these terrorists hate us."
"If it were up to them, women couldn't read, couldn't work, get fake (breasts), go to school, pose nude to 'help their career,'" he said. "Hugh Hefner believes women should be able to do all those things — except read."
Hefner sat on stage in an oversized red chair and smiled throughout the ribbing, bursting into laughter at particularly dirty jokes.
jokes.
At the end of the evening, Hefner said, "I can't remember when I've had this much fun sitting up."

A dildo's touch can quell your lust
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = FD
By Meghan Bainum Sex columnist
Ahhhhhh, sex toys. Gotta' love them. But, if a vibrator doesn't quite hit you in the right spot, if you're a vibrator owner who is itching for a little something different, or if you're a curious person looking for some new sensations — give a dildo a try.
Commentary
Oh veah. a dildo.
Dildos are often shaped more like an anatomically correct penis than a vibrator. They can have veins, testicles and even a realistic skin-like texture. And just like the real thing, dildos come in almost every shape, size and color. That means you could have a different dilo for every day of the week! And if you're really adventurous, you could have a corresponding vibrator-of-the-day as well.
Megah Bainum
Columnist
jayplayankan.com
Why? Isn't a sex toy a sex toy? No way!
Unlike vibrators, which are mainly used on the clitoris or on the outside of the body for that lovely buzzing feeling, dildos are used more as a penis substitute. You can thrust them, rub
them or just put them where you want and enjoy a lovely, full feeling.
Wrangle your dildo around. Use it upside down, from front or behind — use your imagination. Just remember to keep your trusty bottle of lube ready.
According to The Guide to Getting It On by Paul Joannides (in my opinion, the best sex book out there), you can find a dildo made out of almost any material, from glass to wood. However, the most common dildo material is silicone. It's durable, cleans easily and also can be heated up for a more realistic feeling. The only downside to silicone dildo is that it can be expensive—from $45 to $90 for a good-quality toy.
But Christmas is coming soon and a dildo might be the perfect present for that man or woman in your life — or for yourself. In fact, there are even companies that will make a dildo from the model of a penis of your choice — an interesting way to keep your boyfriend by your side even when you are apart.
Whether you are buying for yourself or buying for a partner, remember to keen a couple of things in mind.
First is size. Are you or your lover looking for something the size of a coffee thermos, or a carrot? Next, you might want to think about possible accessories for your new toy — such as a harness.
Turning your run-of-the-mill dildo into a strapon is similar to putting a high performance engine in a corvette. The car was fun before, but now...
A strap-on can be used in straight sex, especially if the man likes anal stimulation, and in gay sex, perhaps to allow lesbians to experience feelings similar to penetration sex.
All sorts of diddos are available such as double-sided dildos, dildos with vibrator attachments and even dildos with harnesses that allow them to be worn anywhere — like to that boring 8:30 a.m. class.
Basically, your dildo will work for you if you make friends with it. Take some time to play around with it. Get to know what it can do for you or your partner — or both of you together.
Whether you are a guy or girl, queer or straight, alone or with a partner, a dildo can provide hours of interesting feelings, intense pleasure and just plain fun. So put the "merry" in Christmas — or in any other day — and give a dildo a try.
Ahhhhhh, sex toys.

Man wins, loses, wins million in one afternoon
CRETE, Neb. — Larry Hatch stayed cool when he and his wife won $1 million — as he did later when he lost it for about three hours.
On a trip to Nebraska to visit their sons, Larry and Leita Hatch stopped at Burger King where Larry Hatch bought a large soft drink.
ODDITIES
When he peeled the "Cash is King" contest sticker off his cup, he found the only $1 million ticket in the nation.
Hatch was excited but tried to keep it quiet said his son, Jeff.
He went to a grocery store to copy the ticket because Burger King's copier wasn't working.
It was gone.
Back at his sons' house, Jeff asked to see the winning ticket.
ratch's other son, Rocky, returned to Burger King while Hatch went back to the grocery store.
He coolly walked in and picked up the stub, which appar
ently fell out of his pocket when he paid for the copies.
It must have been on the floor in the checkout lane for about three hours.
A Burger King manager, J.W. Walker, said Hatch would have to keep the ticket until prizes were verified Dec. 31.
Homeowners buy bats for natural pest control
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — University of Florida researchers said more homeowners were installing backyard bat houses to encourage the flying mammals to hang around and provide natural pest control.
"A few dozen bats can make a big difference in a neighborhood," said Mark Hostetler, extension wildlife specialist with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
"Many species can eat 1,000 flying insects per night, including mosquitoes, moths, flies —
Interest in backyard bat houses has increased among Florida homeowners since July, when mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus were first detected in the state.
anything they can catch," he said.
Bat houses provide shelter during daylight hours when bats are inactive, Hostetler said. Inside, bats hang vertically from the walls, crowded together to share body heat.
Gainesville veterinarian Debbie Kemmerer said bat houses could help educate the public and dispel myths about the winged creatures.
They don't land in people's hair, and the incidence of rabies in bats is extremely low, she said. They also don't suck people's blood.
Feuding parents find safe harbor to drop off children
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — Divorced parents who would
rather not see each other when they pick up their children for visits won't have to anymore.
Parents will be able to pick up and drop off their children at a new family center expected to be open by this time next year.
The facility will also serve as a site for court-ordered supervised visits.
Start-up costs for the facility are expected to be about $60,000, said Kelly Kochell, executive director for Hamilton Centers.
the organization offers youth counseling, runaway shelters and other services.
Between 700 and 1,000 families in Hamilton County are in need of the service, said board member Jenny Budreau.
The facility will be staffed by a full-time licensed health professional and a security person, Kochell said.

Concert pays tribute to famed violinist
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It was Isaac Stern's last standing ovation at Carnegie Hall. After some six decades and 200 performances there, Stern was gone. And yet he wasn't.
A month after his death at age 81, the man who prevented one of America's citadels of culture from being turned into an office tower was remembered Tuesday with a free concert inside the auditorium named for him.
The Isaac Stern Auditorium's 2,800 seats were all filled, and 400 other people watched the concert via closed-circuit TV elsewhere in the 110-year-old building.
"Now Isaac joins those spirits within Carnegie Hall," he said.
"Welcome to Isaac Stern's favorite room," Carnegie Hall Board Chairman Sanford I. Weill told the audience. "Isaac loved to say what made Carnegie Hall so special was the spirit of Tchaikovsky, Horowitz, Toscanini and countless others in these walls.
Stern, one of the 20th-century's leading violinists, had a gift for speech and an eye for young talent. The music did the speaking Tuesday.
The first piece was said to be one of his first great loves — the Allegretto ma non troppo from Beethoven's Op. 70 No.2 trio. Dvorak's Romance in F Minor, the only piece on the program in a minor key, was next. The concert culminated with the lush first movement of Brahms' Op. 18 sextet.
The construction workers building the subterranean Zankel Hall addition halted their efforts, making way for Itzhak Perlman, Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma, Midori and other top musicians who paid tribute to the man who helped cultivate their talents and guide their stellar careers.
In a fitting tribute to the future, these performers were joined by 24-year-old violist Jessica Thompson and 23-year-old cellist Efe Baltacigil, who participated in the last two Isaac Stern chamber music workshops.
Stern, whose smiling face graced the cover of the program, would have loved seeing this intergenerational display of fire and passion.
Weill invited the audience to give a final standing ovation.
Emmys rescheduled to air Sunday night
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—The third time will be the charm for this year's Emmy Awards ceremony, or the twice rescheduled show won't happen at all, producers said Tuesday.
The ceremony honoring television's accomplishments was postponed from its Sept. 16 date because of the terrorist attacks. Organizers scrapped it again Oct. 7 when the United States began retaliatory strikes in Afghanistan.
The show is now scheduled to air Sunday night on CBS.
"There will be no more moving of the dates," said Bryce Zabel, chairman of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. "If there is (world) news to be heard, we will deal with it by simply going forward."
He said the event had changed dramatically each time it had been rescheduled.
Workers have hurried to rebuild sets to fit the Shubert Theatre, which seats only 1,800 people - compared to the 6,000-plus available at the original Shrine Auditorium venue.
Gary Smith was brought in as executive producer to replace Don Mischer, who left
to begin work on the opening and closing ceremonies at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
The dress code has shifted from black tie to business attire, host Ellen DeGeneres has rewritten or dropped countless jokes, and moments planned to honorvictims, heroes and survivors of the attacks have been restructured as news develops.
A segment featuring NYPD Blue star Dennis Franz introducing clips of firefighters and police officers rescuing people on Sept. 11 has been replaced.
"It has nothing to do with anyone's feeling that it's not without merit," Smith said. "When something becomes overexposed it has less impact."
He said the show would still honor emergency workers but declined to discuss details, wanting to keep it a surprise.
A new piece of the show will document Hollywood's involvement in times of war, with CNN talk-show host Larry King introducing clips of celebrities entertaining troops form World War II to the Persian Gulf conflict to event today, Smith said.

Kansas City anthrax case puts campus on lookout
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas remained watchful for suspicious packages yesterday, one day after traces of anthrax were discovered at a Kansas City, Mo., postal facility.
Mike Russell, the University's director of environment, health and safety, said the University had not taken new precautions since the potentially lethal substance was found Wednesday, but that it was continuing to follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. Postal Service and the State of Kansas for handling anthrax threats.
"We're telling people that if we see something suspicious to stop, don't open it and call Public Safety," Russell said. "So far we haven't seen anything. We're doing OK."
In Kansas City, Mo., more than 170 people were taking antibiotics as a precaution yesterday after preliminary tests found traces of anthrax at a specialized Kansas City postal facility. No employees have become ill, and there was no apparent risk to the public, health and postal officials said.
KU faculty and staff were advised via email last month about precautions to take during the anthrax scare, weeks before yesterday's confirmation of traces of anthrax at a Kansas City, Mo., postal facility.
An e-mail sent to the faculty and staff listserv on Oct.17 listed safety precautions for handling mail. The e-mail was sent by Ralph Oliver, director of the KU Public Safety Office, and John Sayler, director of KU Printing Services and campus mail.
RU PRESSING The e-mail asked faculty and staff not to "overreact out of fear, but rather, be aware and alert."
The message provided links to Web sites to learn more information about anthrax and also lists ways to identify suspicious packages and letters, what to do if a suspicious letter or package was received and descriptions of anthrax and its symptoms.
Curtis Dixon, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said his mother, Andrea Terry, worked for a U.S. Postal Service bulk mail center in Kansas City, Kan. He said his mom told him she wasn't worried about the anthrax found at the Missouri facility.
Dixon said that officials at the center were taking the situation seriously, but that he wasn't concerned about the possibility of his mother contracting anthrax.
"I guess they are taking pretty good precautions." Dixon said about the center, although he said he wasn't sure what type of precautions were being taken. "It sounds like they have it under control. She hasn't had to take antibiotics."
But Dixon said it bothered him that the U.S. government wasn't sure who was behind sending the anthrax.
"It's being sent everywhere," Dixon said. "It sounds like it is never going to end."
Dan Torres, sales clerk at Mail Boxes Etc. on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union, said the business wasn't taking any precautions regarding anthrax.
"I don't personally feel there is a need," Torres said. "There's a very small chance it could get out here."
Torres said the business handled mostly campus mail and not mail from anywhere outside the University other than some dealing with credit cards.
than some cleaning wipes. The positive test results at the postal facility, announced Wednesday night, came from two samples in two locations in one trash bag where envelopes were discarded in the first-day cancellation section of the Stamp Fulfillment Services Center. The center is housed in a complex of caves in northeast Kansas City. No substance that would be visible to the eye was found in the center, officials said.

KU trails in online service
Every Big 12 university has Internet enrollment available to students except Kansas
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas is the only institution among the Big 12 schools that does not offer online enrollment for its students.
So at a conference of Big 12 registrar officers on Monday, representatives of the University won't have much to contribute to the discussion of online enrollment.
Richard Morrell, university registrar.
said that the University was aware of its poor standing among its conference fellows in web registration.
fows in web registration.
"It concerns me," Morrell said, "and ves. we are doing something about it."
Morrell said that the online enrollment project, which involves converting hundreds of thousands of student academic records to a new database, was costly, but had received ample support from Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Don Foster, registrar at Kansas State University, said that its K-State Access Technology System to enable electronic registration was in its third year.
registration. "About 92 percent of our students use the online system," Foster said. "It's much more convenient."
The K-State Web site allows students
more options than just enrollment. They can change directory information, check fees, fill out add/drop forms and even receive electronic permission slips from faculty. The price for the software was almost $300,000, Foster said.
Breck Burkington, director of registration and classroom scheduling at the University of Oklahoma, said that the entire campus enrolled online just one year after online enrollment became available. Its program calculates fees and checks for prerequisites, and another database system allows Oklahoma students to check grades and transcripts.
"We feel we're behind the curve in a lot of ways," Turkington said, "But some things are working all right."
migs are working at Matt Nagl, Overland Park senior,
said that he didn't understand why KU had not yet implemented online enrollment.
Morrell said that when the University online enrollment program was set up — for Fall 2003 enrollment at the earliest — it would match the technology and options of every other Big 12 institution.
"I have studied information technology, and online enrollment is not the most difficult program to set up," Nagl said. "They should of had it a long time ago; it a pretty simple concept."
"The quality we'll have when we go online will be superb," Morrell said.

Pirate House asked to limit gatherings
PARKS AND RECORDS
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
The Pirate House, located at 14th and Kentucky streets, was beginning to gain a national reputation for a place to hear live, underground punk music.
But not anymore.
But not anymore. Resident Dave Strano said he and his three roommates were asked by their landlord to comply with a number of demands beginning this week, including not having gatherings of more than 10 people.
ings of more than 20 people. The house was host of 30 music shows this year, and as bands from around the country started calling the house to book gigs and crowds began to grow, Strano said the trouble started.
He said The Locusts, a punk band from San Diego, drew almost 500 people to the house last June.
After the big show, Strano said the house received a lot more attention from police as well.
"Even when there was a stereo playing at one point, and there were five people here, the cops showed up," he said.

A BURNING CITY PROTEST
Family, friends and mourners take part in a procession along Oread Avenue for Shannon Martin. The University of Kansas student was murdered last May in Costa Rica.
J. E.WILSON/KANSAN
Tree, plaque commemorate memory of slain student
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
About 40 people gathered at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., to remember Shannon Martin.
An Indian Magic crab apple tree, standing about 6 feet tall, was planted to honor Martin, a 23-year-old student who was stabbed to death May 13 while on a brief research trip to Costa Rica. The plaque that will accompany the tree is not completed but will be finished and placed next week.
The ceremony began with a procession from ECM to the Kansas Union, around the Moses statue outside Smith
Hall and back to ECM.
"We're being very public about this because this is a dedication not only to her, but to her memory," said the Rev Thad Holcombe of ECM.
Her mother, Jeanette Stauffer of Topeka, spoke first, thanking ECM, the University and Martin's friends who showed support through the difficult time.
"There are a lot of things I am going to do," she said. "Shannon will not be forgotten."
Danny Umscheid, Manhattan senior, met Martin about a year ago and shared memories of her.
He said most of the time he spent with Martin was tagging
butterfly for the Monarch Watch program.
"It was one of those perfect days," Umscheid said. "I was able to capture a picture of Shannon releasing a butterfly."
Umscheid gave the picture to Martin's mother after her death. Stauffer told the crowd the picture would be etched in a monument for her daughter.
Holcombe closed the ceremony by inviting guests to sprinkle dirt at the base of the tree.
"Shannon Martin did not simply visit this world." Holcombe said. "Shannon Martin impacted our lives, and she will continue to do so."

Allen Press employees fired for Halloween garb

LAWRENCE — Two people say they were fired from their jobs at a publishing company after wearing Halloween-related items to work Wednesday.

A memo distributed Monday to employees of Allen Press said, "Anyone wishing to defy the instruction that Halloween will no longer be observed at Allen Press will lose their employment."
ON Halloween, Justin Erickson, 26, of rural Perry, came to work with a jack-o'-lantern pin on his dress shirt. Crystal Roberts, 22, of rural Ottawa, wore striped orange socks and a T-shirt depicting the cartoon character Snoopy trick-or-treating.

By the end of the day, both were out of work. Erickson said he wasn't surprised at being fired, but Roberts hadn't seen Monday's warning because she didn't work Monday.

Kid's Internet domain debated
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — House lawmakers are considering having the government establish a kid-friendly Internet domain since the international body that governs domain names has refused to create a suffix for child-appropriate content.
content.
The bill originally called for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to create a "kids" domain, which would join other suffixes such as "com" and ".org" found at the end of Web addresses.
But the measure was amended yesterday to create a .kids.us" site, which would be overseen by the federal government.
Assistant Secretary of Commerce Nancy Victory told the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet that Japan, China and some European countries had objected to the original legislation, saying the United States should not establish guidelines for the World Wide Web.
"Unilateral action by the United States to create an international'dot kids'domain is at

odds with the global nature of the Internet and a domain name system," Victory said.
"My view is that if we were to rely on (the Internet naming organization) to get its act together to implement a 'dot kids,' my young kids would be parents perhaps by the time it got done,if at all," he said.
The House bill says that only sites with material deemed appropriate for children under 13 could get a ".kids.us" suffix. Participation would be voluntary, and the sites would be continuously monitored. A parent could restrict a child's computer so it could only visit those sites.
The organization's board voted against the kids suffix last November amid concerns about who would set the standards for child-appropriate material.
The bill would establish an independent board that would set criteria for use of ".kids.us." It would also require that the domain be publicized to parents.

Court to retry estate case, rule on gay man's will
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Gays may be entitled to the estates of partners who die without wills, the Washington Supreme Court ruled yesterday.
Joint ruled yesterday.
The decision came as the justices ordered a new trial for Frank Vasquez, 64, who is claiming the $230,000 estate of his longtime partner. A lower court had found the claim invalid because same-sex marriage is illegal in Washington.
A trial judge ruled that Vasquez was entitled to the estate under a legal concept that protects the interests of unmarried people in long-term relationships. An appeals court reversed the decision, saying the concept does not apply to same-sex couples.

'Plague' hits close to home
By Brent Briggeman Kansan staff writer
Professor Sandra Zimdars Swartz has taught Albert Camus' novel, The Plague, for more than 10 years, but it has never carried the significance that it will this year.
"It is going to be so relevant this year," said Zimdars-Swartz, who taught Religion 101: The Search for Meaning for 23 years. "I really thought about doing it earlier in the semester."
She decided to cover the book at the end of the class, as she always does. That way, she said, the dust could settle after the Sept. 11 attacks and the anthrax scare that has followed.
Zimdars-Swartz said The Plague, which was published in 1947, was likely a metaphor for
Nazi-occupied Germany. She said a similar comparison could be made to a country living under the claustrophobic control of fear and evil.
The book tells the story of a plague-ravaged North African town and the human crisis that ensues. More than anything, it explores the actions of people who are under the control of a dangerous power. In the case of the book, it was a disease that controlled the town. Zimdars-Swartz said the disease in the book could have easily been replaced with a biological weapon such as anthrax.
In looking at the reactions of people in trying times, Zindars-Swartz said, "What we find is that in times of crisis, there is more to admire than to despair."
The book also looks at the role of religion in determining morality
and humanity. It says people are good with or without a belief in a higher power.
Jodi Sims, Newton senior, took the class a year ago and said the book provided a message that people needed to be reminded of in times such as these.
The book was part of a body of work that helped Camus win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957
"I think people can get overwhelmed by the type of events that have happened recently," Sims said. "The book just shows that all people can have good in them. I think maybe we tend to forget that at times."
The class of more than 200 will begin reading The Plague after Thanksgiving.

Class offers online security tips
by Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas professor is teaching students self-defense against cyber-attackers and other online problems.
Last fall, Gary Minden, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, began teaching a class for EECS students, Topics in Information Security I, that focuses on basic Internet security issues. He's teaching the same course again this semester, and in the spring, he will teach a more hands-on security class, Topics in Information Security II.
Security tips for all computer users:
The Security I course teaches students about authorization and confidentiality, while the more hands-on course focuses on installing and configuring software and demonstrating how it works.
Minden said people who used the Internet for more than just recreational purposes shouldn't feel uncomfortable online, but he suggested any business transactions should be encrypted.
Security tips
Choose passwords that are difficult or impossible to guess. Give
different passwords to all accounts.
Make regular backups of critical data at least once each day.
Use virus protection software.
- Use a firewall software product as a gatekeeper between your computer and the Internet.
Do not keep computers online when not in use.
Do not keep computers online
Do not open e-mail attachments from strangers, regardless of how enticing the subject line or attachment may be. Be suspicious of any unexpected e-mail attachment even from someone you do know; he or she may have unknowingly sent it from an infected machine.
Regularly download security patches from your software vendors.

"You should not provide any information about yourself unless you feel comfortable about the company you are dealing with," he said.
Although the classes are offered for only EECS students, Minden said he wanted to offer a short course for other students.
Molly Coplen, Lawrence grad
uate student who is enrolled in Security I, said, "It's interesting to figure out how data can be protected and how businesses can implement security measures to protect the information they have."

Students visit the different booths at the study abroad fair in the Kansas Union. Yesterday's event allowed students to look at different programs available in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia.
Programs providex unique classrooms
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
The Office of Study Abroad sponsored a fair at the Kansas Union yesterday to inform students of the variety of places and programs they could investigate for course credit next summer.
University of Kansas students interested in field research on the behavior and ecology of bats in Costa Rica or touring the stadium of the ancient Olympic games in Olympia, Greece are in luck.
Andrzej Karez, assistant professor of Slavic languages and literatures, is planning to take a group of Polish students to Krakow, Poland. He said the University had had programs with 637-year-old Jagiellonian University before, but this would be the first trip back in several years.
Krakow, where Pope John Paul II lived before assuming the papacy, contains the historic Wayel Castle, Karez said. All of Poland's kings are
buried in the castle, Karcz said, making it much like Westminster Abbey in England.
"It's a very holy place for Poland," Karcz said.
Susan MacNally, assistant director for study abroad, said each year between 500 to 600 students enrolled in summer or short-term programs.
Erin Joler, Lawrence junior, spent last summer in Hiratsuka, Japan, in a language and culture program. Even though she had two years of Japanese, she encouraged students with no language experience to take the trip.
MacNally said students could choose from 30 programs. Students should go to the office of study abroad, 108 Lippincott Hall, to pick up applications, which need a one-page personal statement, a copy of their ARTS form and two academic references. Deadline for the summer applications is March 1, 2002.

UNITED WE STAND
Support the Families of Freedom Fund and Be a Responsible Tailgater!
By Regents and university policy, alcohol may be consumed at KU-sponsored fund-raising events. "Proud to be a Jayhawk" fund-raising in the designated tailgating areas at Saturday's game benefits family members of victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.
Proceeds from the $10 T-shirt featuring KU's "Fighting Jayhawk" from 1941 will go to the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund. Purchase the T-shirt from volunteers in the designated tailgating areas or at KUstore.com at the south end of the stadium or at the KU Bookstores.
And don't forget these key tailgating guidelines:
Alcohol is allowed only within designated tailgating areas (a perimeter around 10 parking lots adjacent to Memorial Stadium).
Alcohol is allowed only during the 3 hours before kickoff. No drinking after kickoff—including halftime or after the game—while you are on university premises.
No underage drinking or other unlawful conduct will be tolerated. Laws will be enforced!
No alcohol in Memorial Stadium.

Students should know their rights, use Legal Services to defend them
Well, we're almost done with our football season and so far, there have not been many reasons to head over to Memorial Stadium. We lost to K-State, we could finish last in the Big 12, and there is no hope of a bowl game this year. However, the one bright spot is the new tailgating policy outside the stadium.
While tailgating may draw more people to games, it brings with it a crack down on underage drinking and legal problems for students. Don't be fooled just because alcohol is now allowed does not mean that the alcohol laws don't apply. The Lawrence JournalWorld reported that Minor In Possession offenses have escalated this season to more than 10 times the level of last year at football games.
Know your rights:
Commentary
... it is legal to drink cereal malt beverages (that's 3.2 percent alcohol beer, the kind you can buy at a grocery store) with your parents.
The more surprising fact is that only about 25 percent of MIPs were given in the stadium parking lots. The others were given in the surrounding neighborhoods where many KU students live. That's right, more enforcement of alcohol policy for the stadium parking lots also means more enforcement of alcohol policy for students' front yards.
Casey Connealy
Guest Columnist
opinionkanan.com
There are some things that students should know about alcohol policy. Most of the people giving citations are not your friendly, everyday KU Public Safety officers. In fact, officers in plain clothes are doing most of the enforcement. They are from the Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, better known as the ABC. These officers will walk right up and cite you for underage possession without warning
I'm not trying to offer a loophole in the law, but students should know their rights and be able to exercise them, especially in a place they may feel comfortable, like their own front yard.
Here's a fact that many college students may not know: It is legal to drink cereal malt beverages (that's 3.2 percent alcohol beer, the kind available at a grocery store) with your parents. Let me stress the key ingredient one more time: You must be with your parents!
The most fool-proof advice is not to drink if you are underage. It's kind of like speeding. If you see a speed trap, you never start going faster, and if you know that officers are around, you never grab a beer. It's just common sense. You should wait until you are of legal age to drink. That's the law, end of story. But if you decide not to heed that
advice, and you get caught, there are people on campus who can help.
There are lawyers on campus that can help students with their legal troubles ... including a run-in with our friends at the ABC. Going to a lawyer doesn't cost students any more money. Student Senate created a law office paid for with student fees located in the Burge Union called Legal Services for Students. Students just make an appointment, and they get to speak with a real attorney about options for dealing with an MIP.
Use Legal Services:
Use Legal Services: Students just make an appointment and they get to speak with a real attorney about options for dealing with an MIP.
Heck, the lawyers will even help you with your taxes. Approximately 3,000 students took advantage of legal services last year and you can, too. Legal services' lawyers have handled hundreds of MIP cases and can tell you exactly what your options are.
If you decide to party and someone taps you on the shoulder and hands you a ticket, call Legal Services and see what your options are.
Connealy is a law student from Leawood. He is chair of the Legal Services for Students Advisory Board.

KANSAS GOVERNOR'S RACE
Dear editor,
with members of Latin American Solidarity
Dear editor,
Kansas is a state where party infighting is the rule rather than the exception, and colorful personalities often dominate energetic campaigns. One of the more eccentric candidates for governor in 2002 is State Treasurer Tim Shallenburger, a conservative Republican whose antics are already providing entertainment for political junkies.
Shallenburger's most recent accusation is nothing short of bizarre. He told The Kansas City Star that popular Gov. Bill Graves, a Republican moderate, was secretly plotting to resign early from his term in order to give a boost to his lieutenant governor, Gary Sherrer. Shallenburger further alleged that Graves, Sherer and the other moderate "powers that be" had concocted this "scheme" to protect themselves against a right-wing victory in the Republican primary in August of next year.
Of course, Shallenburger wasn't able
Shallenburger remains optimistic. During a speech made to the KU College Republicans, he predicted that he would win the Republican nomination with at least 50 percent of the vote. This is not an easy task, given that the field will include at least four candidates, but is clearly seen by Shallenburger as a must if he is to prevail in the general election.
Even more peculiar is the hypocrisy of Shallenburger's outrage, since he himself claims to have been "drafted" to run by a coalition of the most conservative elements of the Republican party.
to offer any evidence for his allegations outside of sources he refused to name
He also stated that he anticipates the endorsement of the AFL-CIO, which would be surprising, given that labor unions are traditionally staunch supporters of the Democratic Party. It remains to be seen whether either of these scenarios will occur, but Shallenburger deems them critical to the legitimacy of his campaign.
With the general election nearly a year away, the campaign for governor of Kansas is already interesting. Republicans are counting on organized labor for support, and accusing each other of shady, back-room dealings. Only time will tell what else the election holds in store.

NEGOTIATING SALARIES FAIRLY
Dear editor,
I agree with Chancellor Robert Hemenway that low salaries are not the reason that KU can't keep faculty. I also agree that a "positive" environment on campus would function to retain both faculty and students.
What I would like to see is a commitment by the administration to a truly "positive" environment on campus. This would mean negotiating in good faith with the GTAC, and ending harassment and termination of faculty who stand up for diversity and the principles of academic freedom.
As the new president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, I would like to see due process restored on this campus for faculty, and proper treatment of nontenu-track faculty and GTAs. Only when this happens will KU be able to claim a "positive and unique" environment.
Amy Cummins makes a strong case when she points out that working conditions for GTAs at KU are subpar. I have minority graduate students who cannot afford to live in Lawrence on the GTA salaries offered by some programs.

German visitors get taste of student life, Lawrence
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
For a slice of life at the University of Kansas, Eutin, Germany high school students Benjamin Beeck and Franziska Stahlberg have tourcd museums, taken in a volleyball match, and sat through Dennis Dailey's human sexuality class.
"It was funny to see that you get grades for this," Stahlberg said of the class.
"It came about because people were so generous in support of our program," Baron said. "When they go back, others will also profit by getting to know KU."
Frank Baron, professor of German, said the KU German department sent students to Eutin each summer. To show its gratitude, the department decided to invite two students to spend two weeks in Lawrence sampling university life. Eutin became a sister city of Lawrence in 1989.
The two were chosen by their schools in Eutin because they are outstanding students. Both are in their 13th year of school, which is like being a freshman in college in the United States.
Stahlberg speaks English, French and German fluently
and wants to study international law. Beeck is interested in physics and has plans to study abroad during college.
They said food here is sweet and artificial, cars are big, and streets have huge lanes.
"In Eutin, you can walk everywhere from the train station, but here you have to have a car." Stahlberg said.
Rebecca Theusch, who is the host of Stahlberg this week, studied in Eutin last summer.
The Plymouth, Minn., senior said she had talked with Stahlberg about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, taken her to a local Oktoberfest and watched Meet the Parents. Stahlberg found the English version much funnier than the German translation. Theush said.
The German students also will spend time at Lawrence's two high schools and might attend a KU football game.
Both said they would bring Oreo cookies and Mountain Dew to friends when they returned home Monday.
"I have a friend who's adduced to Mountain Dew," Beeck said, "But you can't get it in Germany."

Lights installed at Oliver Hall parking lot
Officials hope better lighting will cut down on crime
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Kandace Creel used to feel nervous whenever she walked back to Oliver Hall from the parking lot. But not anymore.
During fall break, new lights were installed into the north lot of Oliver, which had been expanded as part of a plan that started three year ago, said Don Kearns, director of parking services.
In 1989, the Oliver parking lot had 266 spaces. Now, after the latest expansion last summer, the total number of parking spaces is 722, but new lights for the expanded lot weren't available
until last September.
Kearns said the new lights were necessary because the old lights did not safely light the lot.
"They were just wore out," he said. "They worked,but they weren't the right type of lights for this time and age."
Additional lights will be added in the future. Kearns said.
Christine Thoorsell, complex director of Oliver, the lighting around the perimeter of the lot was good. In the past, she said vandalism had occurred, and items were stolen from vehicles.
Thoorsell said she was unsure if the lighting would affect the crime rate.
"Better lighting in the parking lot may cut down on those things," she said.

States struggle to reach agreement on Microsoft
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Justice Department and Microsoft lawyers pressed yesterday to finalize a deal to end their four-year antitrust battle, while state attorneys general weighed asking a judge for more time to consider the settlement.
The proposed deal would change how Microsoft packages and sells its flagship Windows operating system and make it easier for consumers to remove certain features and install rival programs from other software makers, according to people who were briefed on the negotiations.
The settlement would impose some restrictions on Microsoft during the next five years and could be extended two more years — until
2008 — if the company violated terms of the deal, the sources said, speaking only on condition of anonymity.
A three-person panel would monitor Microsoft's compliance, they added. The current antitrust case is rooted in allegations that Microsoft violated a related 1995 agreement with the Justice Department.
The state attorneys general who also sued Microsoft huddled to reach a consensus, and Justice Department antitrust chief Charles James made personal calls to enlist their support.
If the states don't sign onto the deal, the Justice Department and the company discussed proceeding with the settlement and allowing a judge to decide whether to accept the deal.
The exact language was being finalized.
"It's just dotting the i's and crossing the its," a lawyer involved in the case said, speaking only on condition of anonymity.
The markets reacted positively to word of a possible deal, that experts hope will invigorate the sagging technology sector. Microsoft stock surged $3.69 to close at $61.84 per share.
The parties are due in court today to report their progress to U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotell, who implored the parties earlier this fall to reach a settlement and avoid a trial to impose penalties against Microsoft.
She appointed a mediator, Eric
Green, to facilitate the negotiations.
A court has already ruled Microsoft operated as an illegal monopoly and improperly thwarted competitors.
But the original penalty imposed in the case that would have required Microsoft to be split into two companies was overturned by a federal appeals court this summer.
The parties could announce a settlement at today's hearing or seek four days to a week to work out details, sources said.
If some states object to the deal, they could use a Tunney Act hearing to try to persuade Kollar-Kotelly to throw out the settlement if it wasn't in the public interest.
States to alter sex-offender laws or lose money
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The federal government has ordered Ohio and 13 other states to make their Megan's laws stronger or risk losing millions in grant money.
Making their laws consistent with the federal Megan's Law is one of 17 requirements for states to receive a federal grant that pays for crime prevention and victims' assistance programs in communities.
The U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance notified the states in June that they would lose 10 percent of their annual grant beginning next year if they did not change their sex-offender registration laws by October. The National Criminal Justice Association, which is working with the states on the problem, said it does
not think any of the 14 met the deadline.
For Ohio, which receives about $19 million a year, the loss would be nearly $2 million.
"It might not seem like a lot, but communities are counting on this money for programs that have proven to be a success," said Domingo Herraiz, director of the Ohio Department of Criminal Justice Services.
Sheriffs and police departments can use the money to pay for task forces, community policing efforts, victims' advocacy projects or treatment programs for drug- and alcohol-addicted offenders.
All 50 states and the federal government have passed some type of sex-offender registration law since 1994 when 7-year-old Megan Kanka
was raped and murdered by a convicted sexual offender who lived near her family's New Jersey home.
States had to require sex offenders to register with local authorities for life.
In some states, sexual offenders are required to register for only a certain length of time and can ask a court to terminate the registration order, which also is against the federal law.
"Some states have faced difficulty because their Legislatures didn't want to change the law. For the most part, that's been the problem," said Cabell Cropper, executive director of the National Criminal Justice Association.
Besides Ohio, the states are Alabama, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
"It might not seem like a lot,but communities are counting on this money for programs that have proven to be a success." Domingo Herraiz director of Ohio Department of Criminal Justice Services
Florida bans shark-feeding trips to prevent attacks
The Associated Press
KEY LARGO. Fla. — A Florida commission yesterday banned sharkfeeding expeditions, saying the practice by some boat operators could be altering the animals' natural behavior.
The seven-member Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission stressed that no evidence connects the feedings to the recent shark attacks in the state's waters.
They said the ban, which takes effect Jan. 1, is aimed solely at assuring that the sharks do not become
more dangerous.
Opponents of "interactive diving," in which scuba-diving tourists watch dive leaders feed chunks of fish to sharks, say the practice teaches the animals to associate people with food.
Shark dives bring thousands of tourists and millions of dollars to the state.
Scuba boat operators and divers who oppose the ban argued that the practice does not a pose a danger to the public. They have sued to overturn the ban.
"There is no scientific evidence to support the ban," said Erich Ritter, a scientist at the Shark Research Institute in Princeton, N.J.
John Stewart, a representative for the Diving Equipment and Marketing Association, said if shark feedings posed a danger to the public, a diver would have been attacked on one of the tours. There have been no such attacks.
"Wouldn't the shark go after the person who is two feet away?" Stewart said.
"There is no scientific evidence to support the ban."
Erich Ritter
Shark Research Institute scientist
Since 1994, the number of Florida shark attacks has exceeded 20 in every year except 1996, according to the International Shark Attack File.
Sleep,dreams focus of research
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — When you're asleep, your mind uses dream time to process information for use when you're awake. Or not.
New research papers from sleep scientists, featured in the November issue of Science magazine reach opposite conclusions.
Robert Stickgold, a professor at the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, produced research he thinks provides compelling evidence that the mind works hard at night.
"The brain is taking information and helping us put it into a form that we can understand," Stickgold said. "Understanding the complexity of the world is one of our brain's most difficult tasks. It needs more than our hours of awake time to get the job done."
job done.
Across the divide is Jerome Siegel, a researcher at the Center for Sleep Research of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Siegel's analysis, which looks into dozens of studies done on dreams and learning, found no evidence that the sleeping mind does anything important.
"Since the beginning, there have been all sorts of theories about what happens when we sleep and dream," Siegel said. "Hundreds of years ago, people said we dreamt to get in contact with our ancestors. The latest theory gaining some acceptance is that our brain is solving problems and helping us learn. There is no evidence of that."
Both scientists pronounced their evidence solid.
"Any college student who takes enough tests knows they have better access to the information in their head after a good night of rest."

experiment, people were given complex problems to solve and tested on their solutions over the next several days. Some of the people were allowed to reach REM sleep (the deepest form of sleep), while others were kept awake.
Stickgold said the people allowed a full night's REM sleep improved more than the sleepless subjects. He said the research suggested that part of the brain uses weak traces of memory to produce dreams while another part assimilates new information, putting it in order and helping the brain understand it.

Pirate House: End of house not end of punk
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Strano said he thought their landlord, Betty Crow, was receiving pressure from local fire and zoning officials to clean up the house.
Last Sunday, Crow presented the house's tenants with a contract requiring that they not have any gatherers of more than 10 people, to remove the pirate flag and all handbills and other posters affixed to the front windows of the house, to clean
the overall outer appearance of the house and to even quit referring to the house as the Pirate House.
Strano said he and the other tenants of the house had a good relationship with Crow in the past. He said he wasn't sure why the situation had changed now, but he was considering moving, either to another house or outside Lawrence all together.
"I just feel like now our views and whatever we want to put on the windows are under constant
watch," he said. "One of the reasons I lived around this community was because to me, I thought it was open."
Strano said even if the Pirate House wouldn't hold any more shows, the spirit it helped nurture would survive.
"Punk didn't start or end in this house," he said. "This is just part of the community, and just because it's gone doesn't mean anything's going to be disrunted."
Chris Kellogg, one of Strano's
roommates, said he thought the city was trying to change the dynamic of the neighborhood.
"They want to to make it less of a bunch of kids living in houses into a bunch of apartments," Kellogg said. "Whether it's to make more money or to make it seem like a better place to live, I don't know."
Attempts to reach Crow yesterday afternoon were unsuccessful.

Air strikes resume, hit front lines
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan American warplanes raided Kabul yesterday for the first time in four days, striking targets on the northern edge of the capital. The strikes came after U.S. jets pounded Taliban front lines and other strongholds.
Three loud explosions, which appeared to be in the Khair Khana district, could be heard before midnight yesterday. Taliban gunners responded with bursts of anti-aircraft fire.
The targets under attack could not be determined because of a nighttime curfew, but Khair Khana includes a
number of air defense and weapons storage sites.
It was unclear why the United States was resuming the strikes on Kabul. The last attack on the capital occurred Sunday morning and was apparently aimed at Taliban targets to the north and east of the city.
The raids came as Turkey, a NATO member, became the first Muslim nation to commit troops to the U.S.-led coalition. The Turkish government said it would send a 90-member special forces unit to train the troops of the northern alliance.
In Washington, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said the Pentagon had several more teams of special forces
ready to go into Afghanistan to improve coordination with opposition forces.
opposition. Rumsfeld was joined at a Pentagon news conference by Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who reported strikes Wednesday on a cave complex near Kabul. The Taliban and Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, he said, used these caves as secure locations for personnel, ammunition and equipment.
He said a large secondary explosion showed in a video clip "seems to indicate we may have hit ammunition or fuel in that cave."
In Afghanistan, opposition representative Waisuddin
Salik said U.S. jets struck a Taliban fuel and ammunition dump near the opposition-controlled Bagram air base on the Kabul front overnight, destroying three fuel tanks and two trucks.
It was unclear immediately whether he and Myers were referring to the same strike.
In other developments:
A statement attributed to bin Laden and broadcast yesterday on the Qatari-based Al-Jazeera satellite channel criticized the government of Muslim Pakistan for standing "under the banner of the cross" and called on Pakistanis to "make Islam victorious."
Lab seeking answer to anthrax attacks
The Associated Press
LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — The Los Alamos National Laboratory, best known as the birthplace of the atomic bomb, is now conducting crucial biological detective work to solve the anthrax attacks wreaking havoc on the East Coast.
More than 1,200 strains are on file, with 100 more newly identified strains from nature and scientific programs added every year from around the world.
Using increasingly sophisticated DNA detection technologies, scientists here are working to identify the deadly microbe's biological fingerprints.
It's part of a $10 million program that combines years of work at universities, as well as at Los Alamos.
Today, Los Alamos is largely mum on its current anthrax mission. Officials will only discuss in general terms the esoteric DNA analysis going on.
It's not much different in principle from how crime labs use genetic fingerprinting to nab suspects or establish paternity in child custody cases, officials said. Just a whole lot more sophisticated.
The lab maintains the world's largest bank of genetic information on Bacillus anthracis, the organism that causes anthrax.
Until the current investigation, the lab's biggest anthrax cases were conducted after-thefact.
In 1994 Los Alamos helped provide some answers to one of the world's most perplexing biological warfare puzzles: Why did 68 people living near a weapons plant in the former Soviet Union die suddenly in 1979?
At the time, Soviet leaders blamed contaminated meat sold in the Russian city of Sverdlovsk
— now called Yekaterinburg. But in 1992, former Russian President Boris Yeltsin confirmed that anthrax was being weaponized there in violation of international agreements.
Two years later, Los Alamos researchers and others examined tissue from the victims. Tests confirmed that all were infected by an unnatural mixture of anthrax strains, indicating they probably inhaled spores released from the weapons plant.
The lab has highly advanced equipment, some of it able to run 100 times faster and 200,000 times more sensitive than conventional DNA testing. And it requires less than 2-trillionths of a gram of DNA to perform the analysis, lab officials said
"It's forensic analysis — helps you find the bad guy, or helps you find if it's natural or not." said jill Trewhella, Bioscience Division director.

Only 64 percent of airline seats were filled during October, compared with more than 70 percent a year ago, according to the industry's main trade group. That is despite the fact airlines reduced their carrying capacity by about 20 percent after the attacks.
Even before Sept. 11, United was in deep financial trouble, suffering from the industry's highest labor and operating costs.
The airline has announced 20,000 layoffs and a 30 percent reduction in its flight schedule. United's new chairman and chief executive, John Creighton, who replaced James Goodwin on Sunday, said more cost-cutting is coming.
"Some tough compromises will be required from all of us in the short run," he said.

Diary of a disaster Story by Audrey Korte Photo by Chris Reid
Editor's note: The following is a diary of the events and aftermath of Sept. 11, written by a journalism student who went to New York City after the terrorist attacks. The Kansan chose to publish this compilation because it might mirror the thoughts and feelings of KU students, staff and faculty that haven't been addressed in the Kansan since the attacks.

have they D.C.
On Sept. 11, a woman heard the phone ring in her kitchen. She knew before she picked up the receiver that her life would never be the same. She only hoped that her life had just entered some stage of miracle, where she would learn that her husband was alive and outside of Tower 2. She knew the Twin Towers had been attacked, and she knew her husband worked on the 78th floor of Tower 2. She had just watched a plane fly into that tower on TV. She put the phone to her ear and heard her husband say, "They told us it was all right. They told us."
Her 3- and 5-year-olds came in and hugged their crying mother, a woman from my church. They saw Daddy's building on TV, but they didn't yet know that he was in it. He was calling from the 82nd floor because the floors below were melting from the intense heat of the explosion. He was trapped in Tower 2, and he knew there was no way out. He asked to talk to his babies one last time, and his wife put him on speakerphone. She held her 3-year-old in one arm and the 5-year-old in the other, and helplessly watched the flaming tower on TV. As Tower 2 collapsed, her husband said, "Daddy loves you."
Sept. 11, 2001. "What does that date mean to you?"
I asked a few people and got some weird looks. People obviously felt compelled to have an answer ready, some way to sum it all up. Most people told me stories of where they were when they found out about the hijacked planes and attacks in Washington, D.C., and New York.
One particularly confused girl looked at the newspaper sitting on a table nearby. "Terror!" was the headline, and behind the headline was a picture of the Twin Towers with smoke and flames pouring out of them. The girl looked at me and said in a whisper, "Terror."
"U.S.attacked!"
american tragedy
On my way to class that Tuesday morning, someone said to no one in particular, "New York is being attacked." I wonder if my dad has gone to New York that day. I scramble to get to my phone. "You have one new voicemail message." My fear rises until I hear, "Audrey, I'm OK."
My dad had not yet left for New York when the planes hit. I call him, shaking, and he begins to name the people we know who are missing. The phone lines are down and no one is reachable.
and no one is reachable.
"Well, what about...," I ask as I name everyone I can think of who works in New York, but the answer is always the same — unaccounted for.
but the answer is always the same — unaccounted for. I later learned that my high school teacher, Chris Carstanjen, was aboard the hijacked flight that crashed into Tower 2.

"War at home"
That week was a blur of television and tears. I began to deal with the tragedy on a personal level, as it affected my family, friends and neighbors more with each passing hour. There were just so many people, and so many sad stories.
so many sad s. I felt like I should be in Connecticut, at home, but not because I could do any more to help there than in Kansas. Sixty-three people were missing from my area of Connecticut. I needed to go home and experience some of this on my own.
So after a week of trying unsuccessfully to "get over it" and "move on," as I was advised by some to do, I decided to return to Connecticut.
"Fear envelops the countrv"
But I don't know that I really "returned" to anything. The world I left two months ago seemed to be gone
forever. The airport was almost empty — LaGuardia airport!
There were only 20 people on my flight from Kansas City to New York City, and my bags were searched three times in the airport. On my flight, non-serrated knives came with breakfast. They were such a reminder of the week before that no one used them.
After a few days at home, my family went to Manhattan to see the destruction for ourselves. We walked downtown, past where the streets were blocked off to cars. Some people wore surgical masks. The smell was terrible, and the air was thick and warm.
"American tragedy"
As we neared the corner of Duane and Greenwich streets, I could hear singing. A barbershop quartet was performing all kinds of patriotic songs. Bystanders, including police

officers, joined in for "America the Beautiful."
We rounded the corner... there was Ground Zero. The site was still smoking. The fire hoses barely seemed to be doing anything. There were trucks hauling debris from the site. The workers on top of the pile looked so far away.
Seven stories of wreckage is almost unimaginable. It doesn't look so big on TV. I felt empty. No thought in my head, no tears in my eyes. Something in me had changed.
You could see a difference in the people of New York.
Every car had an American flag on it. One pick-up truck had two huge flags taped to both sides of the cab. They brushed the windshield of the cars behind him as he drove.
No one flipped middle fingers, swore, yelled at their kids or played loud music. No pedestrians banged on the hood of a car blocking a crosswalk
I saw the yellow ribbons and memorials everywhere. American flags,

prayers and poems penned by children covered every building. Flowers, candles and pictures covered the sidewalks.
When I realized the effect one human life can have on the world, I recognized how much we had truly lost. These were not strangers I was crying for. These people are a number, a picture, a sad story, a striking headline, but if we don't see them as more than that, we have failed to mourn them.

Was it "Terror" that sent people to blood banks by the thousands to donate blood? Was it "Angst!" that raised millions of dollars for relief funds? Was it "Fear" that provoked the airline industry to give tickets to victims' friends and family going home for funeral services? Was it "Evil!" that made us pray?
Sept. 11,2001."What does it mean to you?" It's so easy to let others decide.
Newspaper headlines and sappy songs can neatly package what has happened, so there no need to really think about it. We heard numbers of the deceased and missing, amounts of money lost and money raised. People were laid off in the airline industry and anthrax scares are developing. The military is on high alert, troops are sent away, bombs are dropped.
More gripping headlines, dramatic background music and shocking pictures. Another sad story. The President issues a statement, an analyst gives an opinion or prediction, and professors compare it to past events.
There are protests and speeches it seems everyone has something to say.
What do you have to say? What does it mean to you?

Support one of KU's finest teams
The fall sports team with the best opportunity for postseason play gets disturbingly low support, but you can do something about that and you can do it today.

The women's soccer team plays its Senior Day game against Missouri at 3 p.m. today at Super Target Field. For those of you living in Oliver Hall, Super Target Field is that large patch of grass right behind your residence hall with chalk lines and two goals resting on it. From time to time, you'll see the team playing games on it, and yes, you are allowed to come watch. Admission is even free.
Now, more than ever, there are plenty of reasons to go to the soccer games.
the team wins—a lot. It is pounding home twice as many goals per game as its opponents and has destroyed every school scoring record this year.
Kansas is having its best season in school history and facing a probable first-ever NCAA Tournament berth, but it needs a win today. The Jayhawks need your support to make it happen.
Former Kansas defenders Carl Nesmith and Kareem High take down Nebraska running back Dan Alexander last season as senior defensive back Andrew Davison watches. Davison hopes to help Kansas improve on its 56-17 loss to the Cornhuskers last year.
KANSAS
The team has been deserving of support all season, especially when compared with other sports' success-toattendance ratios. The football team draws just more than 42,000 fans per home game despite a dismal 2-5 record and an embarrassing loss to a putrid Missouri team.
The volleyball team draws 675 fans per game, despite dropping 12 of its last 15 matches.
The good people at the department of atmospheric sciences, which provides weather reports for the University Daily Kansan, have forecasted a beautiful day, perfect for tailgating, eating free food and watching soccer.
Despite the team's new knack for winning, students haven't responded — until now.
Meanwhile, soccer's highest single-game attendance was 653 fans on Oct. 24, 1999, when the KU promotions department offered Quarter Dog Day. This year the Jayhawks have attracted an average of 264 fans per contest, despite their 12-5 record and fourth-place standing in the Big 12 Conference. They've garnered season-long regional recognition and have been nominated for the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and SoccerBuzz Magazine Top 25 polls, both of which are extremely difficult to crack without a lengthy winning tradition.
One bold group of fans is taking a stand. Tired of the small gathering of fans at soccer games, they have organized a tailgate party in the parking lot outside of Super Target Field starting at 1 p.m. In addition to grilling for themselves, they will have some free food available for students who join them for the game. They know the Jayhawks need and deserve your support to beat those pesky Tigers.
So skip that afternoon class, and start your weekend early. Bring some brats and chips, and support your soccer team this afternoon.

Jayhawks will be seeing red
Allen hopes home advantage will ruin Nebraska's title run
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswrite
The Kansas football team has a new outlook for its first two Saturday of November — to play with heart and hope for a chance at the postseason.
But to play next month, the Jayhawks will have to run the table in its next four games. And the challenge of taking four straight begins tomorrow against No. 2 Nebraska, a club Kansas has not ousted in 32 consecutive games.

Relaxed but focused going into tomorrow's seventh game in his fifth season at Kansas, coach Terry Allen said he hoped that by lining up against Nebraska in Lawrence, his team would have a better chance of pulling off the upset.
"They have played nine games; seven of them have been in Lincoln," Allen said. "The times where the University of Kansas has had its most success is obviously when we have played them

Season finale will be glimpse of Big 12 soccer tournament
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Despite its three-game winning streak, the Kansas soccer team hopes it has saved the best for last.
Today's game is a preview of the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament, which kicks off next week in San Antonio. Kansas and Missouri are guaranteed to play each other in the opening round game on Thursday.
The Jayhawks (12-5, 6-3 in Big 12 Conference) play host to Missouri at 3 p.m. today at Super Target Field.
That's about the only thing that's certain right now.Today's winner will have an edge on its interstate rival in more ways than one.
"It's obviously a huge game," said Kansas coach Mark Francis. "There's a lot riding on it. Whoever wins the game finishes fourth. The fact that we can finish fourth could put us in a very good situation for the big picture, the NCAA tournament.
"I think psychologically, whoever wins the game is going to be at an advantage going into the (Big 12) tournament."

Kansas admits that Nebraska quarterback is mighty foe
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
"Nebraska's going to be Nebraska," said Kansas coach Terry Allen. "They tweak over the years, but they don't really change."
When Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch lines up tomorrow, Kansas will know what to expect.
Anticipating the 'Huskers game is one thing — stopping it is quite another.
The Cornhuskers have led the conference in rushing every year since 1987. They've claimed 12 of
Eric Crouch

They've claimed 12 of the last 21 national rushing titles and are on pace to do it again this year. They've gone to 32 straight bowl games, including five for national championships.
Simply put, being Nebraska means keeping the ball on the ground and winning.
Crouch is the 'Huskers' unquestioned leader. Add his rushing and passing yards to the yards gained on his option pitches, and Crouch has accounted for more than 57 percent of the Nebraska offense. Crouch's uncanny running ability garners more attention from defenses than that of a typical option quarterback. As a result, when defenses close on him, he can pitch out to his running backs, usually junior I-back Dahrran Diedrick.
Crouch, who scored four touchdowns against Kansas last year, has scored 14 rushing touchdowns this year. Kansas, as a team, has scored 15 touchdowns.
"He might be the best there's ever been at what they do," Allen said. "His speed and decision-making is what makes him different."

You could get your hands on a lot of money this year. The challenge is not letting all of it slip through your fingers. The best strategy is to stash most of it away for later. If you can acquire this skill, you'll end up wealthy and wise. Stop smoking and drinking booze, and you'll also be healthy. Well, two outta three's not bad.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6. You always like to be among the elite, but that can get expensive. Turn your frustration into motivation. Your competition is looking good so tighten up your presentation. Practice,practice, practice.
taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
It should be apparent by now that costs will be higher than anticipated. It may take all your expertise to stay within your budget. If the check that was supposed to have been in the mail hasn't shown up yet, relax. Those folks may be experiencing cash-flow difficulties, too Go to Plan B.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. You can choose all the perfect words to express your innermost feelings. But keep a lid on that today, especially where personal relationships are concerned. Don't share what's going on with co-workers. Schedule your conversation for a more private setting tonight and over the weekend.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. If you're getting conflicting orders, slow down. Could it be that the folks who are asking you to do things don't know what they want? Don't push. Haste makes waste — and a lot of extra work.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
You can stay objective because you're the only one who isn't pushing for a specific agenda. It'll be easier for the others to reach a compromise later. You might suggest that everybody think about it over the weekend.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
You're still in the mood to edit. Cut the superfluous. Get down to basics. You're good at this.
You can sort the wheat from the chaff with no trouble at all. Then, it's off to your favorite hang-out with a person you respect and admire. Only the best.

Blast boosts Yankees in 9th, again
NEW YORK — Scott Brosius must have learned something from watching Tino Martinez.
The Associated Press
watching Brosius matched his teammate's feat from the night before, hitting a game-tying homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning as the New York Yankees topped the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 in 12 innings in Game 5 of the World Series last night.
"I did get goose bumps," Brosius said. "This is a World Series game. It's fun to hang around these guys
who are getting the big hits. I'm just hanging on the coattails."
Before Wednesday, there had been just three homers that tied or won a Series game with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. So the Yankees just went out and did it on consecutive nights.
hanging on it, Brosius did more than that, once again saving the Yankees from going on the brink of elimination in the World Series with his homer off Arizona closer Byung-Hyun Kim. New York now heads back to the desert up 3-2 after Alfonso Soriano's winning hit.
That's the kind of run it's been for New York, winning four titles in five years under manager Joe Torre.
five years under Like Martinez, Brosius is also in the final year of his contract. With prospect Drew Henson waiting in the minors, Brosius might have played his last home game at Yankee Stadium. He made it memorable.
Acquired before the 1998 season from Oakland, all Brosius has done is win in New York. He has a 349 career average with four homers and 13 RBIs in 63 Series at-bats.

Volleyball team digs in for Tiger match
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team faces rivai Missouri at 7 p.m. tomorrowat the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo.
Missouri is coming off a pair of road wins, beating Oklahoma and Iowa State. Kansas has won just two of its last 12 matches.
Missouri defeated Kansas 5-1, in the teams' Oct. 1 match The Tigers had four players in double-digits in kills, hit 29.9 percent as a team and had 13 blocked shots.
The Jayhawks had eight blocked shots, hit 15.9 percent as a team and had only two players with double-digit kill totals. Sophomore outside hitter Abbie Jacobson had 11 kills, and freshman outside hitter Danielle
McHenry had 10 kills.
The Tigers sit at No. 5 in the Big 12 while the Jayhawks are No. 9. Missouri is 18-6 on the season and 8-6 in the Big 12 Conference, and Kansas is 13-12, 3-11.
Junior outside hitter Lisa Morris leads the Tigers with an average of 4.15 kills per game. Morris, the older sister of Kansas freshman outside hitter Lindsey Morris, recorded a match-high 20 kills against the Jayhawks in the Oct. 1 match.
The Tigers lead the series with the Jayhawks, 33-31, and have won their last three matches with Kansas. Coach Ray Bechard has a 1-2 record in Columbia with his one win coming back in 1999.
Middle blocker Christi Myers leads the Tigers with 1.28 blocks per game and is second on the
squad with almost 10 kills per contest.
test. The Jayhawks are coming off a lopsided loss Wednesday to Kansas State.
Bechard said his team's timing was a little off against the Wildcats.
Bechard said several Kansas coaches called to offer encouragement after the loss to Kansas State.
"You're so dependent on somebody else bettering the ball so you can better the ball, and we had a difficult time getting in a playing rhythm because our tempo was just little bit off," he said.
"It was neat for a lot of the coaches on staff to check in and say you're a better team than that," Bechard said.
Bechard said the Jayhawks were trying to get past the loss and do well against another rival.
"What happens is important, but how you react to it is more important," Bechard said. "We had a competitive match with them earlier in the season, but the Hearnes center is a different story."
story. After some adjustment, he said the Tigers were playing well.
"They've been toying with their lineup and I think they've settled now," Bechard said. "I think they're getting into a better playing rhythm."
Lindsey Morris said playing her sister in a match was a difficult situation.

The Jayhawks' top eight-boat is coming off a 12th place finish at the Head of the Iowa Regatta last Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa. The Wildcats were at the event and finished third.
The Kansas rowing team will close out its fall season tomorrow against rival Kansas State University in Manhattan.
"Winning this regatta and taking home the trophy is important to us," Catloth said. "We've won it the last two years, and we plan on keeping it."
Coach Rob Catloth said he hoped this weekend's Sunflower Showdown results would be different.
For the first time, Kansas will race head-on against another team. The three previous regattas were races against time, conducted in several heats.
The Sunflower Showdown is a sprint race, meaning the crew that crosses the finish line first wins.
"There's a lot more tactics that go into this type of race," Catloth said. "You have to show a lot more will to win, and you can't fold under pressure."
Catloth said his team tended to perform better in sprints, which was the type of race used during the spring season.

The Jazz played the final 4:27 without Stockton, who has a cut on a finger. The wound on the along inside of the finger's upper joint

Missouri leads the all-time series 4-1, including a 4-1 pounding of the Jayhawks last year in Columbia, Mo. Sophomore defender Maggie Mason had the only Kansas goal in the contest.
Senior forward Natalie Hoogveld said she would be looking for revenge today for Kansas loss to the Tigers last year.
loss to the right, they've always had the upper hand on us, but now we've got a better team," she said. "I think it will be a good battle. If they don't take us seriously now, then they're going to have to on Friday."
Francis said facing Missouri at the end of the season was not new
"We've always played Missouri the last game of the season," he said. "The last two years, we've
been abysmal in those games. But mentality-wise, this team is completely different from any team we've had.

“There's no doubt, they will be ready to play.”
Notes:
Today's contest marks the final home game for seniors Melanie Schroeder, Natalie Hoogveld and Hilla Rantala. The three have combined for 17 goals and 18 assists during their senior campaigns while serving as mentors to a youthdominated Jayhawk squad. They will be honored before the game in a short ceremony.

Crouch: 'Huskers' QB tough to beat
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Recently named one of five finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award
Despite Crouch's skill Allen said Kansas needed to stop Nebraska up the middle first and foremost.
the award given nation's top quarterback Crouch is the NCAA's all-time leader in touchdowns scored by a quarterback.
Kansas senior offensive lineman Kyle Grady said he considered Crouch one of the top two contenders for the Heisman Trophy.
"You've got to defend it between the tackles first, that's the first thing they're going to do," said Allen, as he slammed his fist repeatedly into his open palm, simulating the Nebraska running attack.
Kansas wasn't able to defend between the tackles last year in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers' first drive consisted of seven straight-ahead runs that formed a 55-yard touchdown drive. The route was on, as Nebraska won the game 56-17. The 'Huskers piled up 437 yards on the ground. They never punted in the game.
To avoid a similar result, Allen said the Jayhawk offense could be as critical as the defense in stopping Nebraska. He said Kansas would have to sustain drives long enough to keep the defense off the field.

"I'm extremely proud to walk through our tailgate areas around Memorial Stadium and see our fans tailgating in a responsible manner. The majority of KU fans have embraced the concept of tailgating in a positive manner. We don't want anyone to act irresponsible and we don't condone underage drinking. Allen Bohl, University of Kansas Athletics Director

Americans cozy up to 'Friends'
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Since Sept. 11, Americans by the millions have been reaching out to friends real ones, and imaginary ones on television.
television.
The NBC sitcom Friends has unexpectedly become TV's most popular show this fall. Rachel is pregnant, Ross is the dad, and viewers are eager to share the experience.
"Nobody expects that in the eighth year of a series," co-creater David Crane said this week. "It's phenomenal."
Many suggest Friends is doing well because viewers crave the familiar in a time of stress — the comfort food theory. Crane thinks that shortchanges the producers, writers and actors.
"We have something to do with it," he said. "We're not just cozy."
he said. we'll not bother the
the show does seem infused
with a new energy. New York Daily News critic Eric Mink called the new season's episodes "creative gems — funny, touching, crisply performed and produced and consistent with the characters' long-established personalities."
Last spring, when a lackluster set of Friends episodes was beaten regularly in the ratings by Survivor, there were real questions about a comeback.
"It kind of felt like the series was done — it had said what it had to say, it was good while it lasted but it was time to fold it up," said Robert Thompson, director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University.
And it was introducing two plot devices - marriage and pregnancy - that for many television series are signs of creative desperation, he said.
Instead, viewers who have figuratively "hung out" with the six main characters in their carefree youth have chosen to watch them grow up.
"They tapped into a story line back in May that was terrific, and that America clearly wanted to see," said NBC entertainment president Jeff Zucker. "We know that when Ross and Rachel hooked up for the first time five years ago that it was their single biggest year. Clearly, America loves the Ross and Rachel combination."
nation.
Does that mean the ratingshungry Zucker will order that the characters played by Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer — currently on the outs romantically — get together again? He said he's leaving it up to the creators. They're not tipping their hands.

Students can check online for available class spots
Site launched today will show which classes have space open for enrollment
By Paul Smith Kansan staff write
A new Web site launched today can tell students whether that class or any other at the University of Kansas will be closed before they enroll.
The site — www.opensections.ku.edu — has closed class information for every available course on both the undergraduate and graduate level. Closed class information is updated every 30 minutes during the week and until noon on Saturdays.
Cindy Derritt, associate registrar for enrollment management, said the Web site effort started to increase student access to information.
"Students just log in to the site," Derritt said. "There's no password necessary as there's no confidential information on the site."
Richard Hermesch, applications program manager for computing services, said that the Web site transferred information from the enrollment center systems into an HTML-accessible format.
into an HTMID access control Derritt said that previous systems for checking class availability were accessible only from computers on campus and that the new service was the first to allow students to check on the Internet for open seats.
The Web site launch is being introduced as freshmen and sophomore students near enrollment and classes start to close in the final weeks.
Derritt said that delays develop at the enrollment center when students select closed classes and have no alternates selected.
The Web site should help alleviate delays, she said.
Hermesch studied at KU in the mid 1970s, and said that the Web site was just another step in the enrollment center's development.
"We were using cards back then," he said. "The Web site is not interactive, but I think it would be helpful for students to have that information."
have that information Michael Foster, Dallas junior, showed up for enrollment on Friday afternoon only to find the marketing course he wanted to take was closed.
He had no alternative class selected, he said, because he had figured marketing would be open.
Foster said he would have accessed the registrar office's Web site to check out his classes had he known it was available.
"It would have saved me some time," Foster said.
Foster said:
The University will send a mass e-mail today informing students that the Web site is now operational.

Kansas football coach Terry Allen receives the support of his wife Lynn as he announces his firing as Kansas' football coach. Allen announced his dismissal at a press conference yesterday afternoon. Defensive coordinator Tom Hayes was named interim head coach.
Hayes named interim coach
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
With three games left to play in the season, Kansas football coach Terry Allen was fired yesterday after spending more than four years as the University's 34th coach.
Defensive coordinator Tom Hayes will assume coaching duties on an interim basis for Kansas' final three games, said Al Bohl, athletics director.
"Terry did everything that he could to possibly try to get our football program moving," Bohl said. "Today the focus is moving on."
Allen was hired as Kansas' coach Dec. 28, 1996. He never won more than five games in a season at Kansas and composed a career mark of 20-33.
Allen said he was given three alternatives concerning his job status by Richard Konzem, associate athletics director, on the night of Oct. 27, hours after Allen's team suffered a 40-6 defeat to intrastate-rival Kansas State. But his options hinged on how Kansas performed against No. 2 Nebraska this past Saturday — Nebraska beat Kansas 51-7.
The first opportunity was for Allen to win the team's four remaining games and earn a bowl bid. The second was to resign at yesterday's press conference. The third was for Allen to be dismissed and for a new interim coach to be introduced.
Allen met with Bohl last Tuesday to discuss his immediate future.
informed Dr. Bohl that as far as resigning, I would not do that." Allen said. "We in the sports world preach to our players always to play hard and never quit. So I didn't think that it would be appropriate for me to quit in that particular situation."
"It was at that particular time that I
Bohl then told Allen that Hayes would be named interim coach.
"Terry Allen has been unbelievably great to me and my family." Hayes said. "I told him last night that good things happen to good people. He is a good man, and something good will happen to him."
Bohl said he would allow Hayes to have complete control of the next three games, but that the search for a permanent head coach would begin immediately.
For more coverage see pages 1B & 6B
"I welcome Tom to be candidate for that position," Bohl said. "But I think it is important to move as quickly as we can because it is imperative to really get our program to the point where we are a Top 25 program."
top 23 program
"And what a lot of you have already heard me say before, I really believe what our objective should be at Kansas is to try to play in that Big 12 Championship Game — because if you play in that game and you win it—you will be playing for the national championship."

Theft at Nunemaker brings losses to $13,600
By Eve Lamborn
Kansan staff writer
After the second theft at Nunemaker Center in less than a month, more than $13,000 worth of vintage furniture is missing.
A chair, ottoman set, coffee table and leather sofa were taken between 9 p.m. Tuesday and 7 a.m. Wednesday of last week. The furniture was valued at $5,500.

$8,100.
Both sets of furniture came from name-brand designers and were purchased in New York City, said Donna McMechan, public service administrator for the University Honors Program. Irene Nunemaker chose all the furnishings in the building down to the smallest details, including the trash cans, when she donated the building to the University of Kansas in 1970.
The furniture had been in the building since that time.
"This furniture was a part of Nunemaker," McMechan said. "It's just really disgusting and sad."
Caitlin McDonald, who has two classes in Nunemaker, said the atmosphere in the building had definitely changed since the thefts occurred.
"The biggest difference is with the faculty and staff," the freshman said. "I could hear them talking about it. It was a topic of conversation everywhere."
She said the thefts had also affected her classmates.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said the building was locked at the time of the second theft. He said Nunemaker staff might have changed security measures since the thefts, but he could not comment on any specific changes. He would not comment on any possible suspects.

Local activists protest treatment of animals at American Royal Rodeo

Kansas. For those accustomed to the yearly events, a rodeo conjures images of innocent family fun.
Schulz, a member of the Lawrence chapter of Animal Outreach of Kansas, said rodeos were a form of animal abuse that was often ignored because rodeos were an embedded tradition. Schulz cited both brone riding and calf roping as examples of abuse.
Emmanuelle Ban, a Kansas City member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, also protested the event.
"Rodeo is the most inhumane form of entertainment I have ever seen in my
life” she said. "I can't imagine the pain those animals must be going through."
Brandon Kent, Dodge City sophmore, has been a rodeo fan since he moved to Dodge City during the sixth grade. While he realizes spurs are used on the bulls and horses, he said he didn't think they were victims of animal abuse
He said many people probably were not used to watching rodeos and didn't understand the culture behind them.
"Professional rodeos are well watched. There is no way that they could
get away with cruelty without someone knowing," he said.
Ban said activist groups watched rodeos as well, and that routine abuse had been documented by groups such as Showing Animals Respect and Kindness.
Steve Hindi, founder and volunteer president of SHARK, has been to hundreds of rodeos and has taken photos and video of abuse behind the rodeo's most popular events.

Breakup turns violent, man arrested after resisting police
LAWRENCE
A Lawrence resident was arrested Thursday afternoon after stealing his girlfriend's car keys, tearing a police officer's pants and damaging the officer's whistle. Lawrence police Sgt. Mark Warren said.
Randy Dyke, 41, and his girlfriend were sitting in her car in the parking lot of his mobile home park in the 1000 block of East 23rd Street. The two were discussing breaking up. Warren said.
He said that Dyke was angered about the situation and grabbed the keys out of the ignition and started to become violent with his girlfriend.
The girlfriend saw a police car parked in the Phillips 66 gas station across 23rd Street, and ran to it.
When the officers arrived on the scene, Dyke denied having the keys and became agitated. Warren said as the officers tried to detain him, Dyke swung, hit and kicked one officer, tearing the officer's pants and breaking the officer's whistle in the process. The officer suffered a sprained wrist.
Dyke was arrested on two charges of battery of a law enforcement officer, one charge of obstructing legal procedure for resisting arrest, one charge of theft and one charge of criminal damage.

Shawnee man asks for delay in sex trial for his castration
OLATHE —In an effort to avoid spending the rest of his life behind bars, a 65-year-old man has asked that his sexual predator trial be delayed so he can be surgically crasped.
surgically cast bars.
The request came Friday from Herbert L. Fox in Johnson County Court. Fox's attorney, Bob L. Thomas, said Fox saw castration as the only alternative to spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Fox, who lived in Shawnee, has been in custody since 1990 when he pleaded guilty to a felony charge of sodomizing 7 and 11-year-old boys. He was convicted of similar crimes in 1974 and 1981.
He was scheduled to be released from prison last October, but prosecutors filed the sexual predator case against him.
District Judge James Franklin Davis granted the delay request but told Thomas he wanted information on the procedure, research on its effectiveness and a plan on when the surgery would take place and how it would be paid for.

Dry nose important clue in diagnosing anthrax
The Associated Press
Doctors have a new clue to help sort out whether people with aches and coughs have the ominous first signs of inhaled anthrax or ordinary colds and flu: Anthrax victims don't have runny noses.
have really boosted.
In general, the first symptoms of inhaled anthrax are the same as the flu and other wintertime viruses — fever, ache, cough, no energy. As a result, some worry that doctors will prescribe lots of anthrax-killing antibiotics — which do nothing for colds and flu — just to make sure they don't miss a case of anthrax in its early, treatable stage.
But none of the 10 cases of inhaled anthrax so far have started with nasal congestion or runny nose. Those symptoms, of course, are common in flu and many other viruses that cause wintertime respiratory ills. So asking about it can help doctors rule out anthrax.
The possible overuse of antibiotics worries officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which on Thursday offered some guidance for doctors who wonder how to tell
"We will do everything we can to help clinicians sort this out," promised Dr. Julie Gerberding.
which is which.
No test will reveal anthrax exposure or predict who might develop anthrax in the near future. Nasal swabs, if given soon enough, can help show whether anthrax was present in a particular location, but they do not tell doctors anything about an individual's risk.
So far, the single most important information is the patient's job.
"I can't emphasize enough the importance of the clinical history of the occupation and the environment in which the person works," Gerberding said.
Dr. Frederick Hayden, a flu specialist at the University of Virginia, estimated that 60 percent of flu cases involve runny noses, and the figures are even higher for most other common respiratory viruses.
"The dilemma will be sorting out the extremely rare case of inhalation anthrax from this massive background of respiratory viral infections," he said.
KC plans for anthrax clean-up
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A contractor met with postal officials Saturday to begin planning the clean-up of an anthrax-contaminated mail facility.
Cleanup will probably begin late today, said Gary Stone, the manager of Stamp Fulfillment Services, where anthrax spores were found.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed Friday that small amounts of anthrax were present at the Kansas City postal facility, located in an underground cave complex near the Worlds of Fun theme park.
No one has contracted anthrax from the spores, and officials have stressed that the public was in no danger from the contamination.
Stone said the clean-up method had not been decided.
"You've got water and bleach on the one hand, and a chlorine bomb on the other hand" as the range of methods that could be used, he said.
In Washington, authorities were finalizing plans to decontaminate the Senate Hart Office Building, where an anthrax-laced letter to Sen. Tom Daschle was opened. They planned to announce final approval yesterday of a plan to fill the nine-story building with bacteriakilling chlorine dioxide gas.
Stone thought lesser measures would suffice in Kansas City. But he added that the cleanup could take a few days, pointing out that the Kansas City facility covered 300,000 square feet.
square text.
Dr. Rex Archer, the Kansas City health director, said additional tests were being considered to make sure authorities had found all the anthrax there was to be found. But even if those tests weren't done. Archer said there was almost no chance anyone outside the facility could be sickened by the tiny amount of anthrax found at Stamp Fulfillment Services.
"It helps reassure us that we're not talking about huge amounts" of anthrax, Archer said. "In fact, we're talking about trace amounts."
ON THE RECORD
A KU staff member reported a burglary and theft between 9 p.m. Oct. 30 and 9 a.m. Oct. 31 at Nunemaker Center, the KU Public Safety Office said. A leather sofa, black chair and matching ottoman were stolen. The stolen goods were valued at $5,500.

Kansas gets new area code, with 316 facing depletion
HUTCHINSON — It's now official. Anyone making long-distance calls to much of southwest and south-central Kansas has to dial 620 to connect.
The exception is the Wichita-Newton- Butler County metro area, which retains the 316 code.
The code actually changed nine months ago, but Saturday marked the end of a "permissive dialing" period in which both the 316 and 620 codes worked for long-distance calls.
worked for long absences.
Now callers who dial the old code get a recording telling them it's changed and directing them to reidal. That recording will be used through Jan. 5, said Kansas Corporation Commission spokeswoman Rosemary Foreman.
Only two Sedgwick County communities Clearwater and Viola, will be part of the 620 area code.
Clearwater fought hard to try to stay in 316 with Wichita. However, the townspeople and their telephone company expect a reasonably smooth transition.
"We've been planning for it for a while," said pharmacist Bales. "We've contacted all of our doctors to let them know so there shouldn't be a problem [with phoned-in prescriptions]."
The change in area code will not change the cost to call into or out of 316 or 620. All calls that were local before will stay that way.
The main reason for the area code change is the proliferation of phone companies entering the local market. With more than 70 phone companies competing in hundreds of towns,the 316 area code was facing depletion by early next year.

African athletes set records at New York City marathon
NEW YORK — Tesfaye Jifar of Ethiopia ran the New York City Marathon in 2:07:43 yesterday, setting a record and becoming the first Ethiopian to win the race.
The old men's record of 2.08:01 by Juma ikanga of Tanzania has stood since 1989
Jifar built a lead of more than 20 seconds over Kenya's Japhet Kosgiei, the runner-up for the second straight year. Kosgiei clocked 2:09:19 unofficially. Another Kenyan, Rodgers Rop, was third, another 33 seconds back.
Jifar, whose first competitive race was only three years ago, was making his debut in New York. He pulled away from his lone challenger just before entering Central Park.
Jifar showed impressive closing speed. His older brother, Habte, is a world-class 10,000-meter runner and persuaded Tasfay to try the sport.
Margaret Okayo of Kenya also set a race record as the women's winner.
Okayo broke away from the top women not far past the halfway mark, when she took her wool gloves off as the temperature neared 60 in nearly windless conditions. She was third last year.
The 32nd running of the 26.2-mile race adopted the motto "United We Run."
The Associated Press
Another Kenyan, Susan Chepkemei,
was second yesterday in 2:25:12,
followed by Svetlana Zakharova of Russia,
who was one second behind.
Okayo trimmed 19 seconds off the mark set by Australia's Lisa Ondieki in 1992 with her time of 2:24:21.

Rodeos: Activists allege abuse

Tame horses do not buck naturally, he said. The site said the horses were made to buck with spurs, electric prods and bucking straps.
Bucking straps are leather and metal straps that wrap around the horse's back and genitals. Hindi said they made a horse uncomfortable, causing it to buck. The straps also can wound a horse's sensitive flanks.
Hindi's site features photographs of lesions he said rodeo officials denied and tried to cover up.
George Duncan owns a horse farm near Fawcett, Mo., and has been involved in calf roping and team steer roping for more than 20 years.
He said he had never known bucking straps to cause sores on

the horses, and that the straps instead were a safety precaution allowing a cowboy to stop bucking immediately.
Duncan also said calf roping was not as violent as it seemed
"The rope has some spring," he said. "It doesn't hit the calf near as hard as it looks like it does."
Duncan said he had only seen one calf suffer an injury and that the calf was healthy again in six months.
"People need to realize that cowboys do have consideration for livestock," he said. "They have common sense. They aren't trying to hurt animals."
Schulz and Ban said they had both been told a calf and a horse had died at the American Royal this year. Rodeo officials were not available to comment on the reports.
Schulz and Ban said they understood it would be difficult to change people's minds about an activity so entrenched in American culture.
"Our protesting is not a matter of us misunderstanding rodeos," he said. "It's a matter of us thinking that no animal should have to suffer."

Professional schools may see transcripts, original grades
Student Senate raises concerns about course retake policy
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
The Senate Executive Committee renewed concerns about the course retake policy among students and faculty last Tuesday after approving a resolution meant to caution student use of the policy.
the policy, approved last summer by Chancellor Robert Hemenway, will allow students
to retake any class in which they receive a D or F in order to boost their grade point averages. The original grades will remain on the transcript.
PETER TURKMAN
Jessica Bankston
chairman, said the resolution was intended to warn students that professional schools might take into account that original D or F when making admissions decisions.
L l o y d Sponholtz, committee
The professional schools at the University of Kansas each have their own admissions standards.
"We are trying not to mandate admissions procedures on the professional schools," Sponholtz said.
Jim Carothers, interim associate professor, said that University Senate rules and regulations assured professional schools' autonomy in their admissions procedures and that their authority was never meant to be undermined.
"It was never the belief that professional schools would be required to ignore aspects of the student transcripts," Carothers said.
However, Sponholtzt said the SenEx resolution prompted responses from Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center.
Houston and Tuttle sent e-mails to Sponholtz indicating they were interested in making sure that students who used the retake policy would benefit from it.
Neither Houston nor Tuttle were available for comment, but Sponholtz has invited them to share their concerns about the resolution at the SenEx meeting tomorrow.
Jessica Bankston, who serves on SenEx, said the committee's warning was necessary.
"We don't want students to think that by retaking a course it will assure them placement in the professional school of their choice," Bankston said. "It may help them get in, but it's not a guarantee."
the SenEx resolution prompted concern at a caucus of student representatives last week.
"Some student senators are
"It was never the belief that professional schools would be required to ignore aspects of the student transcripts." Jim Carothers Interim associate professor
upset that professional schools and graduate schools can even see the original grade on the transcript," Bankston said.
Sponholtz said SenEx may withhold sending its resolution to the University Council meeting on Thursday.
Tom Beissecker, president of the University Council, said the only way the council would act on the resolution would be if it were issued by the committee.
Beisecker, an ex officio SenEx member, emphasized that the resolution was not a rule or regulation.
"It's an attempt to clarify in the minds of University Council members what was the intent of a very small part of the course repeat policy," Beisecker said.

Take advantage of this opportunity to learn about the many challenges and struggles members of our under-represented minority students experience as their representation and input are sought after in great demands. Conceptually, it is exciting to be in an era where the voice of underrepresented minorities is embraced but the reality is there are only so many representatives on campus...saying yes to the many requests presents unique challenges.

EDITORIAL A new place to find your car in the morning New downtown garage is a welcome addition for KU students
Recently, a new addition was completed in the city of Lawrence making things more convenient for all of us. A 7-million-dollar parking garage was opened on New Hampshire Street, one block east of Massachusetts Street.
The new garage has 459 parking spots, to make parking easier when shopping, eating or hitting the bars on Massachusetts Street. This added convenience was much needed and a welcome addition to our city.
Parking has been a real problem for business patrons trying to park on or near Massachusetts Street. One of the charms of Lawrence is that the downtown has remained a bustling center. Yet with commercial success of the downtown area has come a lack of parking. With Lawrence and out-of-town shoppers flocking downtown on the weekends and in nice weather, Massachusetts Street and alley parking doesn't provide enough spaces and patrons overflow into nearby neighborhoods. The parking garage will help ease congestion for everyone downtown.
The City of Lawrence did everyone a favor by creating various parking options. On levels 1 and 2, parking is free for two hours. This saves the students and citizens of Lawrence money that they would have to pay a meter to park on Massachusetts St. It costs one dollar to park on the upper levels and year parking passes are available for $192.
Although this garage is not on Mass Street itself, it located toward the middle of the downtown. Not only is the garage convenient for daytime parking, it will help ease nighttime bar congestion as well.
congestion as well. Venues such as the Granada, the Replay Lounge and Liberty Hall draw large crowds at night. The new garage will provide more parking to the students who head downtown to study in coffee shops and eat out in the evening.
Another good reason to use the garage is that the city is allowing a two-hour grace period in the morning. Students who may have had too much to drink and need to leave their car downtown for the night don't have to worry about morning tickets. In contrast, if your car is parked at a metered spot on Massachusetts Street in the morning, the city will ticket the car.

PERSPECTIVE
Why do SOA grads keep killing?
The School of the Americas was founded to train Latin American soldiers in combat and counterinsurgency techniques, and its philosophy has never wavered since inception.
Ostentatiously, the school claims that it exists to teach democracy and human rights in Latin America. Only one of 42 courses in the 1996 course catalog, Democratic Sustainment, centers on democracy and human rights. In 1997, only 13 students took it, compared with 118 who took Military Intelligence. The mandatory human rights component of other courses is insignificant, reports former School of the Americas human rights instructor Charles Call.
The SOA teaches students to abuse human rights. In September 1996, under intense, grassroots political pressure, the Pentagon itself admitted that torture, execution, false imprisonment and extortion techniques were included in training manuals used at the SOA and by mobile training units in Latin America until 1991. Teaching soldiers mechanisms for suppressing their own population is the antithesis of teaching democracy. The New York Times reported, "Americans can now read for themselves some of the noxious lessons the United States Army taught thousands of Latin Americans... [The SOA manuals] recommended interrogation techniques like torture, execution, blackmail and arresting the relatives of those being questioned."
The SOA has always claimed that it didn't teach its students how to torture or how to commit other human rights abuses. Now after the truth has been revealed by the release of the training manuals, the SOA claims that it has changed. The school has never been forthcoming with information; it would be illogical and emotional to assume credibility from an institution with a history of blatant deception.

P
Robert Chamberlain (Oct. 29) bases his entire argument on the dubious fact that one percent of the general population is psychopathic, therefore it is logical to assume that one percent of a military school's graduates would likewise be psychopaths.
That there are 600 documented graduates of 60,000 with the exact same psychopathic disorder that manifests itself in the same behavior of rape, assassination, and torture of civilians is a clear causal connection.
a civil education Chamberlain's "few bad apples" argument is not convincing, given the evidence of the involvement of SOA graduates in human rights abuses two of three officers cited in the assassination of Archbishop Romero; three of five officers cited in the rape and murder of four U.S. churchwomen; ten of twelve cited for the El Mozote massacre of 900 civilians; over 100 of 246 cited for atrocities in Colombia.
The 600 proven human rights abusers (UN Truth Commission), are only those that SOA Watch has uncovered by combing through Truth Commission documents. The school itself has no mechanism for tracking its graduates. Furthermore, the full scope of atrocities committed by SOA graduates will likely never be known because members of Latin American militaries are often above the law. It is rare that crimes by members of these militaries are investigated and rarer still when the names of those suspected are released. If the University of Kansas was teaching courses on torture, execution, and psychological warfare and if a proven one percent of graduates then went on to use these skills against non-combatant civilians, we would justifiably call for KU's closure as well.
SOA graduates continue to commit human rights abuses. The February 2000 Human Rights Watch Report on Colombia implicates seven SOA graduates in 1999 crimes including kidnapping, murder, massacres and setting up paramilitary groups. The 1998 and 1999 US State Department Reports on Human Rights in Colombia implicate SOA graduates in abuses including a 1997 massacre, an illegal raid on a human rights group in 1998 and involvement in kidnapping and murder in 1999.
If the SOA is so virtuous, prove it. Why doesn't the school track the human rights records of its graduates? Why aren't students enrolling in its "mandatory" human rights courses? Why does the school continue to be linked with human rights abuses? It is illogical, emotion-based, misguided and unethical to support a school with such a track record.
Weigh the evidence for yourself. Visit the SOA Watch website, http://www.soaw.org www.soaw.org. Discover why members of this community legitimately oppose the SOA by attending a video showing Monday, November 5th at 7:00pm at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Church
We want our government to hold itself to the same standards it holds others: do not harbor or train the outlaws and killers of innocent civilians. The school, under any name, is incorrigible; we want it closed. We demand that the U.S. stop training terrorists in our name, with our tax dollars.

Nontraditional Student Week kicks off
Organizers say nontraditionals need recognition
J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Massages, academic assistance and a Veterans Day celebration are some of the events planned for the second-annual National Nontraditional Student Week at the University of Kansas.
Nontraditional students can be those who are married, have kids or commute.
Laura Morgan, assistant director of the Student Development Center in Strong Hall, said it was important to recognize nontraditional students on campus.
"So often older nontraditional students particularly may feel invisible or may feel like they are not in the right place or the right time," Morgan said. "The week becomes a time to encourage
nontraditional students to come out of the woodwork or depart from their regular paths."
The week's events begin today at the Burge Union. Some of the events planned include panel discussions with nontraditional students, lunch with Janet Murgia, executive vice chancellor for University Relations, a pasta dinner and a family game night.
Morgan said buttons that read "NUTS" would be handed out at an information table at the Kansas Union. "NUTS" stands for "not-the-usual-traditional-student." Morgan said wearing the button would help other nontraditional students find each other on campus.
tutor on camps
"It can help if they wear the buttons on their backpacks or walking from class to their car," Morgan said. "We suggest they tap them on the shoulder and walk with them as a way of getting to know someone they may share something in common with. It's a
sign of being willing to meet people."
Morgan said a survey concerning what needs nontraditional students had on campus would be available.
Michael Curran, Lawrence sophomore, and member of OAKS, the nontraditional students organization, said the week was a good way to raise awareness about nontraditional students.

"It's definitely a concern with how you are going to fit in," Curran said. "But I feel there's a lot of acceptance of older students."
The Student Development Center, the Hilltop Child Development Center, the Coca-Cola Corporation, the University Registrar for Veterans Services and the Department of Student Housing are sponsoring the week.

U.S. deploys more forces to Afghanistan
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. military inserted more special forces into Afghanistan as top commanders said yesterday the Taliban government was weakening but still controlled substantial troops that would take time to thin out and conquer.
"We're setting in for the long haul," said Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"We are going to continue to resupply" the anti-Taliban fighters of the opposition northern alliance "right through the winter," Myers said. "We think that they have every chance of prevailing."
Underscoring the drawn-out nature of the conflict, Myers said a couple more teams of special forces were inserted in Afghanistan in the last day or so.
The teams are working with opposition leaders and "the more teams we get on the ground, the
more effectively we'll bring air power to bear on the Taliban lines," Myers said on NBC's Meet the Press.
In Pakistan, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said that four weeks of U.S. bombing had weakened the Taliban's ability to operate as a government.
Taliban forces are "using their power in enclaves throughout the country to impose their will on the Afghan people," but are not making "major military moves," Rumsfeld said.
Myers said the United States had taken down Taliban air defenses, its transportation for resupplying its troops and its communications.
Myers and Army Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of U.S. forces in the war, declined to say whether it would take a major deployment of U.S. ground troops to topple the Taliban.
Appearing on ABC's This Week, Franks was asked whether he would rule out the use of a
large number of ground forces. "Absolutely not," he replied.
On a more immediate question, Franks said the United States would listen to its allies on whether to conduct the war during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins around Nov. 17, and then make a decision on whether to move ahead
President Bush indicated last week the campaign would not ease during Ramadan. "The enemy won't rest during Ramadan and neither will we." Bush said.
Members of Congress said it was too early to tell how long the war would last or whether more ground troops would be needed.
"I think our enemies, the more they're convinced that we're in this for the long haul, the shorter this thing" may last, said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Fox News Sunday.

may very well be that as things move on," administration officials "have to insert, or at least contemplate, a larger infusion of ground forces."
Joining Biden on CBS' Face the Nation, Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., said, "I don't see where you're going to put a half a million men on the ground like we did in Vietnam or any of the large-scale efforts."
In other developments, Myers said "there's a lot of planning going on right now" concerning possible nuclear and biological threats from terrorists, including threats posed by Iraq's Saddam Hussein.

An evening with the Lawrence Police Department
AARON SHOWALTER/KAP
Police officers search for evidence and gather information in an alley downtown after a complaint early Saturday morning. On weekend nights, police are often called in to deal with the many disturbances that arise as people gradually filter out of various bars and clubs.
a routine Saturday night sees purse theft, car fire on downtown streets
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
The voice came across the scanner. "I need someone to the alley behind the Granada."
Department
A girl in front of the Granada,
1020 Massachusetts St., flagged down another officer because someone had stolen her purse.
Officer Doug Payne flipped his lights and sirens on, sped up across Massachusetts Street and swung the patrol car around the corner into the alley off 11th Street.
It was 2 a.m. Saturday; a routine night for the Lawrence Police Department.
When Payne arrived on the scene, the suspect, a male in his early 20s, was already in hand-cuffs. He told the group of three officers that he had dumped the contents of the purse in "the second dumpster" in the alley. The problem? Four dumpsters were in the alley.
Payne, along with two other officers who had been talking with the victim in front of the Granada, searched the dumpsters and found a make-up bag that belonged to the victim.
Seventeen officers from the Lawrence Police Department were patrolling the city Saturday night.
And despite the purse snatching, it was a slow night, Payne said.
The evening began around midnight, when Payne met up with three other officers to head to the streets. Their first job was to visit three fraternity and sorority parties where alcohol was going to be served. These "catered events" often led to a few minor in possession citations, and Saturday was no exception.
Two MIPs were given out, and one person was cited for interference with the duties of a police officer.
Next, he sat in the Conoco gas station parking lot across from Bada Bing on North Second Street. He was there as an "intimidation factor." Payne said. Sometimes the girls from Bada Bing, a strip club, would come to the station when they got off work. He was there to prevent trouble.
As the night progressed, the jokes between the officers picked up over the radio.
After that, Payne drove around North Lawrence. He was considered an extra car that night, so he had no specific section of town to patrol.
patrol.
Payne decided to drive through Riverfront Park, on the edge of town off North Second Street, to see who was there after hours.
starting, and Payne received a call regarding a noise complaint in the 900 block of Maine Street. He drove by the house, but nothing was out of the ordinary, so he didn't stop.
The after-hours parties were
"Just a little early morning humor to get you going for a few more hours," Payne said.
"It all a judgment call," Payne said about deciding whether to stop. "Really, I just wish these people would go to bed. It's late."
Then the voice came over the scanner again.
The officers, who work from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., use the third radio frequency, the one reserved for getting information from the dispatch officer, to joke around with one another.
Payne drove to the fire, this time with no lights or sirens.
"There is a car fully engulfed in the 600 block of Illinois," it said
The Lawrence Fire Department was already on the scene and attempting to put the fire out.
"When the tires explode it sounds like a bomb went off," Payne said. "You don't know what hit you."
By now, it was 4:30 a.m., and
Payne still hadn't taken a break.
One of the officers was at Haskell Indian Nations University trying to track down a female student whose car had been vandalized. Payne went to help find the student and to see if the car suspect drove away in was also in the Haskell parking lot.
When he got inside the student's residence hall, the resident assistant took him to the woman's room. He didn't find the woman, but he found her roommate busy with someone else.
It was a little embarrassing, but the officers just laughed it off.

It was just another routine call on an early Saturday morning.

Allen's tenure had surprises, but his demise shocked none
Dear Terry Allen,
First of all, I admire your guts. You took one of the worst coaching jobs in America, and you honestly believed you could make a difference. And you did, too, in your first year, when you started off the season 4-1 and had everybody believing again.
Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there.
In week four of your tenure, your team traveled to Cincinnati and was pasted 34-7. Two aspects of that game — lack of discipline and inability to win on the road — led to your "demise."
Was that really just five years ago? You seemed so different back then. You were the young, "aw-shucks" kid from Iowa whom everybody wanted to be friends with.
I look back at pictures of your hiring, and you looked so young, with your Ned Flanders moustache and your eternal optimism.
opinism.
I look at pictures of you now and I just wonder what might have been. When you were hired, you were a young 59. Now, you look like an old and frail 44-year-old. Even you noticed it last week, when you said, "I've really aged a lot in five years."
Unfortunately, being nice doesn't win games in the Big 12 Conference.
Year two of your tenure was a great example, when you drilled nationally ranked Colorado on Homecoming, and should have also defeated Texas A&M. Of course, your 1998 team also lost to the likes of Baylor and needed four overtimes to beat Alabama-Birmingham.
Of course, that's what five years of disappointing losses and failures will do to a person. Throughout it all, your teams always amazed me by the way they competed with teams that should have blown the Jayhawks off the field, and by losing some teams to which you should never, ever, in a 1,000 years, should have lost.
Last year was when the vultures started circling, when your team looked completely unprepared in a loss to Southern Methodist in the season opener. That game marked the beginning of the end for you, and you knew it. When your team lost to Missouri two weeks ago, it was just the final nail in the coffin.
I've never been more confused about the timing of a firing. I don't know why anybody in their right mind would want your job now. Obviously, the powers that be at Kansas have no idea how to treat their employees.
I admire your love for the game and how you handled these last few weeks. I really wish you had succeeded — just once, I'd like to see the nice guy finish first.
But you stayed optimistic throughout the whole thing. You tried seeing the good in your players, even when your players (I'm not going to mention names here) had no good in them. You were always a pleasure to talk to, and I consider myself lucky to have had a chance to get to know you.
Nonetheless, you should be disgusted with how you were dismissed, how you were fired with three games left on the schedule.
So many people say you were fired because you were too good of a person. If that's the case, then I hope you never keep another job. Good luck, Terry.
CHRIS BURKETT/KANSAN Kansas Head Coach Terry Allen watches his team execute a play. Allen is the 34th head coach KU has had in its last 111 seasons.

Allen leaves with style
CHRIS BURKETT/KANSAN
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
Fifteen minutes before the scheduled 4:30 p.m. press conference yesterday, Terry Allen's support crew had taken their seats.
Wide receivers coach Clarence James sat alone in the right corner of Hadl Auditorium. Special teams coach Clint Bowen and defensive ends coach Tim Burke were seated nearby. Close to them were the three senior captains — Harrison Hill, Nate Dwyer and Marcus Rogers — each expressionless, eyes forward. Wide receiver Roger Ross was also present, as was former Kansas running back David Winbush, who was a part of Allen's first recruiting class at Kansas
At 4:30, Terry Allen emerged from the rear exit door. Lynne followed each of her husband's steps. Allen walked slowly to one of the two empty chairs under the table in the front of the room.
Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, and new interim coach Tom Hayes entered together one minute early.
In Allen's last public address to the media, colleagues and friends at Kansas, he wore the biggest smile in the room.
Known for his nice-guy image
in his five years as Kansas' coach, Allen began his speech with an apology. Being dishonest emotionally had torn the freshly fired 44-year-old man.
"I didn't tell you the whole truth last night, and that's really kind of bothered me," Allen began. "You guys know that sometimes we don't tell the whole truth to protect the interest of our players. But last night was a little different situation.
"I wanted to make sure that we got things perfectly clear because I have never been the one not to tell the truth."
The night before, after Allen's Jayhawks were throttled 51-7 by the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the media fired questions at Allen about rumors that he had coached his last game at Kansas
"I am still the football coach of the University of Kansas," Allen said on Saturday. "Our team meets tomorrow at 2 o'clock. Until anything comes forward from that, we will just forge forward."
But Allen had just coached his final 48 minutes at Kansas. He had lied to protect his team that was the loyalty that he would be remembered for, Dwyer said.

It was the second verse of the same song for the Kansas football team Saturday night.
For the second time in a 14-day span, Kansas could not stop the run. And its offense could not move the football.
The song ended with Kansas dropping its fourth straight Big 12 Conference game, as it was pounded 51-7 by No. 2 Nebraska in front of a sellout crowd. The 44-point spanking was the fifth loss in a row for Kansas coach Terry Allen.
Kansas senior free safety Jamarei Bryant tries to tackle Nebraska split end Thomas Wilson. Wilson gained 65 yards on six catches during a 51-7 rout of Kansas on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
"They're just so physical," Allen said. "They came in and dominated us with their defense versus our offense. I thought our kids came ready to play, but I don't know if we were quite ready to play well enough offensively."
oftenly. Nebraska racked up 284 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. While the 'Huskers' offense continued to pound the football down the Jayhawks' throats, Kansas' offense had trouble getting the ball past midfield. In the first half, Kansas scraped for three first downs and a measly six yards on 24 plays. In the second quarter alone, the Jayhawks generated four yards on 10 plays.
Allen admitted his offense had floundered, but he said part of the reason it had weakened the past three weeks was because of the defenses it had faced. Oklahoma, Kansas State and Nebraska pose defenses ranked in the country's Top 10.
10. "There is no question we have struggled offensively," he said.
Allen said the Kansas defense played hard despite allowing its largest point output of the season. But junior linebacker Leo Etienne, who tallied 11 tackles, said Nebraska was not as much overpowering as his own teammates were exhausted.
"It wasn't that hard to stop their offense," Etienne said. "But when you got a defense out there 85 percent of the time, something is going to happen."
Another question Kansas has to tangle with is who is going to quarterback its club for its final three games. At the start of the season, two quarterbacks shared time.
Redshirt freshman Mario Kinsey had received of the snaps since Kansas' 41-17 loss to UCLA Sept. 8.

HOROSCOPES
SCORPIO
Today's Birthday (Nov. 5). First, get your financial affairs into order. It shouldn't take too long. Then, sign up for a class or two. Get that degree or credential you've promised yourself. Go back to dog-training school, or take that intensive course in the martial arts. You'll never be the same, and that can be a good thing.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5. You're not quite up to par. Don't take on extra work now, and don't say much about what you're already doing. No point in letting the competition in on your plans. You do have plans, don't you? If not, find a comfortable place to be and come up with some.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) --- Today is a 7. A very attractive person has something to teach you. It could be about business, or it could be about love - that part isn't clear. The attraction is obvious, however, and the lesson could bring you great rewards. Try not to let it get in the way of your regular duties.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
Make tentative plans but not major commitments. Focus most of your attention on bringing the money in, not on how you're going to spend it. Set goals, then plans, then a checklist. Then, get started.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)Today is a 7. You're lookin' good and feelin' even better. You're ready to try something bold. But be forewarned that actions will be much more effective than words. Don't talk about it; just do it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Today is a 5.Take time to ponder your possibilities, assess your options, explore your alternatives. Set priorities and consult advisors. This is not procrastination, it's planning.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7. Your discarded items could be exactly what your favorite group needs. One person's trash is another's treasure, so don't just pitch that stuff. Find a good home for it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 7 - No more goofing off. Time to settle down and get back to business. You sure like going places, so don't complain if you have to work to pay for it. But don't work harder. Work smarter.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Share information you've recently learned with a person who can put it to good use.
This will eventually be to your benefit, but don't do it for that reason. Do it because you can and because it will help.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You're naturally lucky, but this is not a great time to gamble. Make a secure investment instead. Something that was beneficial before, or something old, should work. But don't talk about it. Do it.
C
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19) — Today is a 6.
It's payback time. Do something special for a person who did a good deed for you once. If you don't immediately know who, give yourself a minute. You'll think of somebody. But don't tell. Have it be a surprise.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 6. Something you'd been wondering about is starting to make sense. The solution being proposed now is much more to your liking. Negotiations haven't been completed yet, so don't drift off. Continue to pay close attention.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) — Today is a 7.
Time to reign in your enthusiasm somewhat.
Channel that energy. Your friends, relatives and co-workers will be amazed at how much you can accomplish.

Diamondbacks win Series rally in 9th, oust Yankees
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — No comeback could be more unlikely, perhaps no World Series more dramatic.
The Arizona Diamondbacks, headed for another excruciating one-run loss that would have given New York its fourth consecutive championship, staged a shocking ninth-inning rally of their own Sunday night.

Yankees managed last week in New York because no one expected it, not against closing pitcher Mariano Rivera. The win dethroned the three-time defending champions.

Mark Grace started the Diamondbacks' rally with a single. Tony Womack tied the game with a double, and Luis Gonzalez won it with a bloop hit. The Diamondbacks won the World Series in just their fourth season of existence, the fastest team to do so. The Florida Marlins won the World Series in 1997 in their fifth year.

"I was trying to choke up," Gonzalez said of his one-out single that landed just behind shortstop Derek Jeter, sending Jay Bell home with the winning run. "I knew he was going to come in. It's a dream come true."
"This is probably going to go down as one of the best World Series ever."
Curt Schilling, starting on three days' rest for the second consecutive time, left with one out in
the eighth inning after allowing a solo home run by Alfonso Soriano that put New York up 2-1. When manager Bob Brenly went to the mound he told Schilling, "We'll get that one back. That's not going to beat us, big man."
It sounded like an empty promise, since everybody knows the Yankees don't lose a lead in the late innings.
Yet Mark Grace — the old ex-Cub in his first World Series — started the ninth with his third single of the night.
Damian Miller came up to sacrifice pinch-runner David Dellucci to second. The bunt went a little too close to Rivera, who wheeled and threw to second for the force. But the throw was wide and got past shortstop Derek Jeter for an error, putting runners on first and second with no outs.
Bell, another old-timer in his first World Series, pinch-hit and bunted, but the Yankees got the force out at third.
Womack, who transformed what had been a dismal season into a solid postseason, then came up with one of the biggest hits imaginable. He lined Rivera's 2-2 pitch down the right-field line, scoring pinch runner Midre Cummings from second and tying the game at 2.
ond and tying the game at third and one out, the packed Bank One Ballpark crowd went as crazy as a Yankees throng might be expected to go.

Volleyball recovers against Missouri

After suffering a devastating loss to rival Kansas State on Wednesday, the Kansas volleyball team bounced back with a win Saturday against its other rival, the Missouri Tigers.
More than 1,700 fans watched as Kansas took the match, 5-1, in Columbia, Mo., on the strength of a performance by sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome. Rome finished with a team-leading 17 kills and only two errors, hitting 40.5 percent. She contributed a team-leading 15 digs, a career-high four assists and two service aces.

"This may be as big a win on the road that we've had since I've been here," coach Ray Bechard said. "It was great to see the team bounce back from a very disappointing loss to Kansas State by responding this way. It was a good, good win for the program."
Kansas avoided a large number of hitting errors, a problem that has plagued the Jayhawks throughout the season. The team's hitting percentage is 23.6 percent. Against Kansas State, Kansas managed just a -4.7 percent hitting percentage, the lowest one-game total ever under Bechard. The number is negative because there were more errors than kills.

Kansas St. 42, Iowa State 3
Ames, Iowa — Kansas State did just what it wanted against Iowa State. The Wildcats had hoped to run the ball and they did, to the tune of 343 yards rushing. They also wanted to stop Iowa State's running game and they most certainly did that, holding the Cyclones to 23 yards rushing.
The result: a dominating 42-3 victory Saturday in a game that had expected to be much more competitive.
Josh Scobey and Eil Roberson both rushed for more than 100 yards and accounted for five touchdowns to lead the Wildcats (4-4, 2-4), Iowa State (5-3, 3-3) had come off a strong performance in a 24-21 loss at Texas A&M.

sour at Super target 1.0.
Before the game, the team honored seniors Natalie Hoogveld, Melanie Schroeder and Hilla Rantala, in their final home game as Jayhawks.
The Kansas soccer team continued its impressive winning streak Friday with a 2-0 victory over Missouri at Super Target Field.
Rantala, in their final home game, Rantala scored the second goal in the 80th minute, which put the nail in the 'Tigers' coffin. It also clinched a fourth-place Big 12 finish for the surging Jayhawks, the highest ever in program history. It was Kansas's fourth shutout in a row.
"It's a credit really to the whole team, especially the defense," coach Mark Francis said. "Defensively, we're not giving teams the chances."
Freshman goalkeeper Meghan Miller saved six shots and recorded her seventh shutout of the season.
The Jayhawks (13-5 overall, 7-3 in Big 12 Conference play) secured a fourth seed for this week's Big 12 tournament in San Antonio. With the loss, the Tigers (11-7, 5-5) settle for a fifth seed, which means a rematch between the two is set for Thursday.
The Kansas attack started in the 21st minute. Freshman midfielder Amy Geha sent a pass to Hoogveld.
Hoogveld then lofted a cross into the box, and freshman forward Monica Brothers headed it off the post and in. It was Brothers' ninth goal of the season.
"Monica just has the knack of being in the right place at the right time," Francis said. "Her athleticism got her there, and she threw her head at it and got on the end of it. It was a very tough angle, too."
got on the end of the line.
After 60 minutes filled with missed opportunities by both teams, the Jayhawks broke the game open when Brothers found Rantala staring at an open shot.
Rantala punched it past Tiger goalkeeper Megan Duncan, putting Kansas up 2-0. Rantala's 10th goal of the season all but ended Missouri's hopes of an upset.
The Tigers now go into the tournament underdogged against a hot Jayhawk squad.
Francis said his team knew just how important winning was from here on out.
"We had a great crowd today." Rantala said. Teams don't like to come here, and we were ready to play."
"In the postseason, it's a different season," he said. "If you lose, you're done."
The game hit a season-high attendance of 411. The second-highest on Aug. 31 against North Texas, when 325 fans were present.

Kansas rowers end fall season by winning K-State race
By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas rowing team closed out its fall season in strong fashion.
The Jayhawks defeated rival Kansas State, 13-12, in the Sunflower Showdown Regatta on Saturday morning in Manhattan. The win was Kansas' third straight in the annual event, and the Jayhawks took a 3-2 lead in the two schools' all-time series.
"The rivalry goes back and forth, so to win is huge for us," sophomore Lindsay Abbott said.
The regatta marked the first time this season that the Jayhawks had raced head-on against another team.
Kansas won the second varsity eight-boat, first novice and varsity four-boat races for a total of 13 points. Kansas State claimed the varsity eight-boat, second novice and third novice races for a total of 12 points.
In head-on heats, points are awarded to a team for each race it wins; the varsity eight-boat race is worth eight points; the
second varsity eight-boat and first novice races are worth five points; the varsity four-boat and second novice races are worth three points each; and the third novice race is worth one point.
Abbott, who raced with the Jayhawks' second varsity eight-boat, said her boat was tight with the Wildcats' boat for the first 1,000 meters of the race, but then Kansas pulled away. She said coach Rob Catloth's racing philosophy helped propel the team past the Wildcats.
"Rob really focuses on technique and learning the basics of rowing," she said. "It made a big difference in the race. Kansas State doesn't really have the same focus."
Catloth said he was pleased with his entire team's performance. He said he didn't think the varsity eight-boat's loss was anything to worry about.
The Sunflower Showdown was the Jayhawks' fourth and final regatta of the fall season. However, only spring season results affect a team's national ranking. Kansas will practice eight hours each week until winter break. The team will start winter training on Jan. 3 in Austin, Texas.
Kansas, which closed out its spring season last year ranked in the top 25 nationally for the first time in school history, is looking to continue its success this year. Catloth said he liked his team's chances.
"Even though we're still pretty young, our seniors are doing their part and setting the tone for the rest of the team," Catloth said. "I look forward to the spring because I think we have more depth than we had last year. We have a lot of desire to be successful."
The Ijayhaws' next competition will take place in Lawrence on March 30, against Texas.

Coach Cathy Burgess said her team had been well-prepared for the meet.
"We had a hard week of training and the ladies did a good job of stepping up for the second straight week," Burgess said. "I am very pleased. It was not just one individual effort, but the whole team stepping up."

Kansas football coach Terry Allen listens to questions about his possible dismissal in a post-game press conference. Allen said at the Saturday press conference that rumors of his dismissal were not accurate. Yesterday, Allen admitted that he had misled the press and that he was trying to protect his players.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"Coach Allen really cared about your feelings," said Dwyer, who was lured to Kansas by Allen five years ago. "It's tough because I know him really well and like him. I definitely want to go up to him tomorrow and thank him personally."
"He knew that he had to keep his spirits, show up and be here through his disappointments," said Ross, who spent a year and a half under Allen after transferring from Garden City Community College in 1999. "I was sick when I heard the news, but coach Allen is a godly man. You just got to suffer to get to the good. I know he will be somewhere successful."

but he didn't want to stop "The reality of the situation is that I hope to be still called coach," Allen said.
Allen rose from the chair and left the room. This time, his wife led the way through a warm round of applause.

Loss: Dyer gets lone touchdown
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
He led Kansas to victory in early October against Texas Tech, but has gone winless in his last four starts. Kinsey's game plummeted early after he was decked by Nebraska junior defensive end Justin Smith while trying to churn out extra yardage on an option run. He finished the night three-offine passing for 12 yards and two interceptions. Kinssey also lost a fumble early in the first quarter.
quarter.
Zach Dyer came off the bench to put up respectable numbers — he was five-of-eight passing for 67 yards with a four-yard touchdown strike to junior tight end Adrian Jones late in the fourth quarter.
The touchdown, though came when Nebraska already had established a 44-0 lead.
"It's been one of our downfalls this year," Dyer said. "Sometimes we'll look really good on a drive and the next we'll look pathetic. We need to keep it going on more than one drive."
Dyer was pleased to be given an opportunity but was distracted by the offense's inability to find a consistent rhythm.

"We're just going to have to stick with our pride," Sands said. "But that's not something I am worried about. I know every man will play as hard as he can until the last play of the Wyoming game."
For the first time since 1992, every seat for a game at Memorial Stadium was taken. A total of 52,250 tickets were sold to fill Memorial Stadium to capacity, and the official attendance was 50,720. Just to counter the expected sea of No. 2 Nebraska fans, 800 extra

'Husker fans a sea of red during game
By Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
Nebraska football fans flocked in droves to Saturday's game.
sophomore quarterback Chris Dyer said the Jayhawks' 51-7 drubbing at the hands of Nebraska on Saturday didn't seem like a home game. "We're in our north end down there trying to yell out calls from the line and you couldn't hear because of that whole sea of red."
Nebraska usually brings a sizable crowd to Lawrence, but Saturday's was rare. The 50,750 in attendance made up the first sellout at Memorial Stadium since 1992.

sear the cans at the line of someone. The disparity in fans grew after halftime, when much of the Kansas student section didn't return.
But it was the sea of red that stood out. The 'Husker fans packed the south side of the stadium, forming a solid line of red shirts that contrasted the sprinkled blue elsewhere in the seats. The bowl on the north end of the stadium looked like a red horse-shoe.

The north end was so loud that after Kansas was called for a delay of game penalty on its first drive, Dyer said the Kansas offense hadn't been able to hear the calls at the line of scrimmage.
It didn't sound like a typical road game to Kansas sophomore quarterback Zach Dyer.

1962. The 77,000 seats at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium aren't enough, however, as fans have to travel to see their team play.
The 'Husker following is nothing new. The team has played in front of an NCAA-record 239 consecutive sellouts at home, a streak that dates back to 1962.
It's much easier to see a game. Comstock tailgated with a group of friends on the hill south of the stadium before the game. One member of his group, Tim Johnson of Boone, Iowa, drove more than 275 miles for the game.
Comstock said tickets for Nebraska games were usually available only through alumni clubs or opposing schools, except for season-ticket holders.
opposing schools could go to him. Otherwise, he said, many are forced to pay scalper's prices. As a result, Comstock and his friends usually attend 'Husker games on the road.'
Kansas has averaged 43,790 fans for five home games this season. The Jayhawks averaged 32,217 fans in six home dates last year.

Hayes takes job as interim coach for three games
By Sarah Warren Associate sports editor
Tom Hayes took the job he said he hoped would never have been offered to him.
Hayes, who was the Kansas defensive coordinator, was named interim coach yesterday for the football team following the announcement that Terry Allen had been dismissed as Jayhawks' coach.
homa, Texas A&M, Cal State Fresno and Bohl said it was Hayes' strong coaching background — he's been to 15 bowl games and coached three players to the Pro Bowl — that made him a strong candidate for interim coach.
"Tom Hayes has the power and direction to do whatever he needs to finish this season and try to help us win our last three football games," Bohl said.
Allen had been a crowd of reporters. TV cameras and a few select players, Hayes looked somber yet strong sitting next to Al Bohl, athletics director, while speaking to the media about his new job.
It's not the best part, but it is part of what Hayes joined the Kansas coaching staff at the end of the 2000 football season, after spending five years as the secondary coach of the Washington Redskins. Before coaching in the NFL, Hayes was either a defensive or secondary coach at Oklahoma, Texas & M, Cal State Fullerton and UCLA.
while speaking to the media, "These are never easy times," Hayes said. "Terry Allen is a friend of mine. I understand what he's going through. I've been through it myself, not from a head coaching standpoint, but from other institutions that I've worked for. It's part of our business. It's not the best part, but it is part of the business."
The final three games on the Kansas schedule — against Texas, Iowa State and Wyoming—may also serve as an audition of sorts for Hayes to keep his new job. Bohl did acknowledge that Hayes was a candidate to take the position permanently. However, Hayes, who had signed a two-year contract with Kansas as the defensive coordinator, will address only the task at hand — not his coaching aspirations.
"For us to be successful in these three weeks as coaches," Hayes said. "We need to do everything we can to do everything possible right —be on time, be accountable, work hard in practice and gear up for an opportunity to win three football games and finish this season on a high note for the University of Kansas and our entire football team."
Kansas and our team. "I'm looking forward to the challenge," he said.

Haiti's Roots movement a course topic next semester
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Four years ago Kiran Jayaram took a Haitian language class for beginners. Now he's preparing to teach his own course on the Roots movement in Haiti.
in Haiti:
The Lawrence graduate student arbitrarily enrolled in the language class while earning his undergraduate degree in math at the University of Kansas. During the class, he met one of the main figures of the Haitian Roots movement, Yatande Boko. Boko invited Jayaram to drop by if he ever went to Haiti.
Jayaram did drop by later in 1997, watched a woodoo ceremony and got his first glimpse of ___
the first glimpse of the Roots movement
Jayaram said the Roots movement in Haiti distinguished itself from the strong U.S. and French culture in the country by associating with the Haitian culture and language of the rural peasants. He called it way of life, pulling in elements of

dress, speech, ideology, religion, politics and music.
That first glimpse led to several more trips to Haiti for Jayaram, including an extended trip last summer and a thesis project on the movement. Jayaram will use this first-hand experience to teach a one-time course next semester, Haitian 320, Cultural Politics and Identity: The Roots movement in Haiti. The course can enroll 55 students, and slots are still open. It isn't listed in the timetable, but students can check availability at www.opencsesku.edu.
Jayaram will incorporate his own research, which includes several hundred photographs and hours of recordings about the movement, into the course.
"There are a few things written on it, but nothing very thought-provoking or thorough," he said. "The course will be infused with my personal takes on the culture."
on the culture.
He said the course would also examine other examples of cultural movements, including Rastafarianism in Jamaica and maybe Islam.
Jayaram said he hoped to bring people from the Haitian movement to the University.
"When you have the possibility of bringing the topic and material of the course into the classroom to have it standing in front of you, there is no better education than that," he said.
better education than that. Jayaram said he would graduate next spring, making this the first and last time he would teach the course at KU.
Peter Ukpokodu, chairman of African and African-American studies, said graduate students did not usually develop their own courses without working together with a professor.
"It means you have a whole lot of confidence in the ability of the graduate student," he said. "His various experiences in Cuba and Haiti have made that possible."

The Multicultural Resource Center is by the Military Science Building. The center was established to promote an educational environment that recognizes the diverse composition of the Lawrence campus, but some students said the center could use some improvements.

Deadline moved to tomorrow for Thanksgiving homestay
The deadline for international students and area families to register for the Thanksgiving homestay program has been extended until tomorrow.
Liya Krugyak, program coordinator, said the program allowed students to spend part of Thanksgiving break with local families. Many of the families and students form lifelong friendships, and often students are invited for return visits.
Kruglyak said the program, which was started in 1954, helped students and the local hosts learn more about their respective cultures. She thought that was especially important following the events of Sept. 11.

Passenger's takeover sends bus rolling and injures 33
The Associated Press
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — A Grayhound bus passenger, apparently frustrated that he couldn't smoke, tried to wrestle control of the steering wheel away from the driver, sending the bus careening out of control at 70 mph. The bus rolled over on a freeway, injuring 33 people, one critically.
It was the third time in a month that a passenger tried to commandeer one of the company's buses.

George had not been charged as of yesterday afternoon, said Steve Volden, representative for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
But Richard Platt, chief criminal deputy for the Pinal County Attorney's Office, said he had authorized 10 aggravated assault charges against George and said other charges could be added in the future.

"We believe there was some mental instability we were dealing with." Volden said. "He didn't make any overt statements about wanting to hijack the bus or doing anything in the name of religion. It appears he was acting independently."
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
Authorities said George apparently became angry at the driver after he was told to extinguish his cigarette.
George, who is about 40 years old, lit up a cigarette as the bus was about 50 miles south of Phoenix. He became upset when two off-duty bus drivers riding in the vehicle told him he couldn't smoke, Volden said.
He went to the front of the bus and banged on the door of the vehicle. Unable to open the door, the man grabbed the steering wheel and tried to take control of the bus, Volden said.

Local nudists aim to keep camp despite expired permit
TONGANOXIE - Some Tonganoxie nudists hope the First Amendment gives them cover.
Camp Gaea, a 168-acre retreat for nudists, pagans and gays, has operated since 1992 with a special-use permit from Leavenworth County. But the county board has declined to renew the permit, prompting a legal threat from the people who run Camp Gaea.
"People can be who they are without any accusations," said John Pearse, president of the board of directors at Earth Rising, which runs the camp. "That's all we want."
"I that's all we want. The camp's permit expired earlier this year, but the county had allowed it to continue operating pending renewal.
Pearse said the camp seven miles north of Tonganoxie is open year-round and has become a haven for people who might be discriminated against elsewhere.

NATION Man gets a life sentence for attack on school children
YORK, Pa. — A man who burst into an elementary school with a machete and attacked 11 children, the principal and two teachers was sentenced yesterday to 132 to 264 years in prison.
William Michael Stankewicz, 56, of Johnson City, Tenn., had asked the judge for the death penalty, which was not an option. He pleaded guilty to attempted murder and others charges in September for the Feb. 2 attack.
Principal Norina Bentzel was the most seriously hurt, suffering severe cuts on her hand and arms and a broken left forearm while helping to wrestle Stankewicz to the ground. Her hands still bandaged, Bentzel told the court that Stankewicz was the "pure definition of a terrorist."
Stankewicz, a former Pennsylvania resident, previously said that he committed the attack because he was angry about his divorce and allegations he had molested his stepdaughters. He said he went to the school his stepchildren once attended because he was unable to find the home of his ex-wife.
Dialysis filters recalled for possible role in recent deaths
CHICAGO - Baxter International Inc. said yesterday its dialysis filters appear to have played a role in the recent deaths of dialysis patients in several countries, and it is discontinuing some products and idling two plants.
The company's announcement came as health authorities investigate the deaths of 51 patients in connection with Baxter's dialysis filters.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Deerfield-based company have been reviewing the deaths of patients who used six models of dialysis filters, which Baxter recalled worldwide in mid October.
October. Baxter said it expected to take a charge of $100 million to $150 million in the fourth quarter to cover the cost of discontinuing the products and other related costs and expects lawsuits because of the deaths.

Campus whistle hushed awhile
By Luke Daley
Kansan staff writer
Students who listen for the campus steam whistle to signal the end of class may need to rely on their watches for the next two to three weeks.
Randy Samuels, associate director of facilities operations, said the campus whistle, known as Tooty-Toot, had been turned off since Oct. 30 because of repairs to a line connected to the whistle.
This is not the first time the whistle has been out of commission.
Samuels said he could remember three or four times in the past year that the whistle had been turned off for various reasons.
Samuels said the actual steam whistle was fine. It was introduced to the University in 1912 to announce the end of classes during the week.
The whistle also took a two-week break in Sept. 1999 for repairs and part upgrades.
In 1777, it was hushed because of complaints that it annoyed people, but it was later reinstated by a student vote.
PILLOW LANDING
Some students didn't even notice that the whistle had ceased to operate last week.

"I guess if I heard it, I would miss it," Glennon said.
Landon Hostetter, Winfield senior, said that he didn't mind the whistle, although he could hear it from home.

He said he lived close to the Facilities Operations building that housed, but the noise didn't bother him.
"A lot of my friends rely on it." Hostetter said. "You could say it is a part of KU."
The University of Kansas' steam whistle is out of commission for a couple weeks while it is repaired. The whistle normally blows at 20 minutes after the hour to signal that class has ended.

should be students are reluctant to study because of the limitations of the rooms," Haydel said.
Alexzia Plummer, Bellevue, Neb, sophomore, said she used the building once a week to study or research. She said the building's facade needed a better look.
"It's very small and cramped," Plummer said. "It needs a different location that's more convenient to students. It's kind of hidden."
She said she thought student use of the building would increase if the center relocated. Plummer said she also thought more minorities might decide to attend the University if the building was improved or if it had a better location.
"The condition of the MRC reflects the University's true attitude toward minority students, which could be improved," Plummer said.
Santos Nunez, program director for the center, said a new location would be good because it was outgrowing its present location. She said a new building would be an incentive to attract more minority students.

Bombing halts Israeli withdrawal
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — A bomb exploded in a Jewish settlement yesterday, halting the Israelis' planned troop pullout from the West Bank.
Israeli officials stressed, however, that the army still intended to leave Jenin and two other towns it entered nearly three weeks ago to root out militants — as long as the Palestinian Authority ensures calm in those areas.
The bomb exploded in a factory cafeteria, injuring three people in the settlement of Shaked, six miles west of Jenin. The militant group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility.
Earlier, about 22 Israeli tanks rumbled out of Qalqilya, pulling back a few hundred yards from Palestinian territory. Qalqilya is on the edge of the West Bank, next to Israel.
Israel had sent forces into parts of six West Bank towns after Palestinian militants assassinated Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi on Oct. 17. The militants were avenging Israel's killing of the leader of the militant Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
The United States has demanded Israel pull its forces out of the West Bank towns, concerned that Mideast tensions could interfere with its effort to maintain support among moderate Arab
nations for its war in Afghanistan.
Washington has also demanded that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat crack down on militants.
Palestinian Parliament Speaker Ahmed Quriaa said the best way the United States could bring peace to the region would be to recognize a Palestinian state. He said Israel should withdraw from all West Bank areas it occupied.
Raanan Gissin, an aide to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said Israel intended to pull back its forces from all West Bank areas, provided the Palestinians assume security in the areas and prevent attacks on Israelis.
Court questions lawyer's objectivity
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — As part of its broadest review of the death penalty in years, the Supreme Court asked yesterday whether a lawyer once appointed to represent a troubled 17-year-old boy could give his all in the courtroom for his next client — the boy's accused killer.
Walter Mickens Jr. did not know about his lawyer's other work, and no one who did know raised an alarm. Lawyers trying to save Mickens from execution discovered the situation years later
covered the "Walter Mickens has been deprived of his rights," lawyer Robert I, Wagner argued yesterday.
The Constitution's Sixth Amendment guarantees the
right to a lawyer. Like many people facing a potential death sentence, the right to a lawyer for Mickens meant he got one appointed by the state for him.
Mickens was convicted and sentenced to death in the 1992 stabbing and sexual assault of Hall, whose half-nude body was found sprawled on a dirty mattress.
The lawyer had also been appointed months earlier to represent the victim, Timothy Hall, in an unrelated case.
Two Supreme Court justices have expressed concern recently about the quality of legal help for people facing trial for a crime that could carry the death penalty.
"I have yet to see a death case
The Mickens case is unlikely to produce an expansive ruling on legal rights in capital cases, but could set a standard for what judges should do when confronted with a potential conflict of interest.
among the dozens coming to the Supreme Court on eve-of-execution applications in which the defendant was well represented at trial."
The justices focused yesterday on whether a judge should have called foul, or at least held a hearing to determine if Mickens' lawyer could fully do his job.
For Mickens, an impartial lawyer could have meant the difference between life in prison and a death sentence, his new lawyers have said.

Law students gather Thanksgiving foods
Members of the Black Law Students Association are helping give many struggling families something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Last week, the association began its 11th annual Thanksgiving Day Food Drive to help provide food for local families in need.
Groups that benefit from the food drive:
Pennhouse
The Salvation Army
Hannah's House Foundation
Ballard Community Center
First Step House
Douglas County ECKAN
Pelathe Community Resource Center
Women's Transitional Service Center
Once the food has been collected, the food will be divided up into baskets on Nov. 17 and be sent to different organizations. "We try to divide it up as
The students are encouraging the entire KU campus, as well as off-campus organizations and local businesses, to participate in the drive, which will run through Nov. 16.
Robinson said each year, the association set up competitions among students, faculty and staff in the law department to see which groups could raise the most donations.
Those interested can donate nonperishable foods, money gift certificates and items that can be used to prepare food. The donations can be dropped off at food carts that have been set up on the second and third floors of Green Hall.
Brian Robinson, Dallas first-year law student and association liaison, said the Thanksgiving Day drive was the largest community service project organized by the students.

evenly as possible so each shelter and family gets an even amount of food," Robinson said.
Bell said the food drive last year provided food for 96 families.She said the goal for this year was to provide food for 100 families.
Bell said the drive had started off slowly, but she expected it to pick up toward the end of the week when the class sections began to donate for their competitions.
"It usually pulls together by the end of the week," she said.

Artificial heart patient back to hearty eatting
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Between big bites of collard greens and a cheesesteak the world's first recipient of a self-contained artificial heart thanked God yesterday for giving him the courage to make medical history.
"The biggest risk I have ever taken in my life was this risk, and it paid off big," said Robert Tools. "I didn't get the courage from anyplace except from my religion, from my God."
He had lunch with Mayor Dave Armstrong at Bigg Hopp's as part of a local promotion encouraging people to dine out after Sept. 11 to help the economy.
So far, Tools has visited a waterfront park, gone fishing and eaten at several restau
One of his surgeons, Laman Gray Jr., ordered a cheeseburger and fries. Gray said Tools continues to make "fabulous progress" and will probably start taking longer trips from Jewish Hospital.
"The biggest risk I have ever taken in my lifetime was this risk, and it paid off big."

Tools' smile widened as a waitress placed in front of him a Philly cheesesteak, collard greens, rice and corn bread. The 59-year-old ended the meal with lemon meringue pie. Tools' wife, Carol, ate a large salad.
rants around town.
Gray said Tools "can eat absolutely anything that he wants to," though, like most men his age, he will eventually need to watch his diet. Doctors have said Tools needs to put on at least 10 to 20 pounds before he can leave the hospital and return to his home in Franklin.
"I like food. My doctors don't think I like food because I don't eat enough. But give me the right thing and I will eat all of it," he said.
Tools received the artificial heart on July 2 at Jewish Hospital. Three other patients around the country have received the plastic-and-titanium AbioCor pump.

PERSPECTIVE
Bumper sticker slogans don't bring us together
"United we stand."
And it means virtually nothing
It's a phrase that's repeated over and over these days. It's on bumper stickers. It's on window panes. It's on the lips of television commentators.
At times of struggle and stress, people try to find a common bond. Since Sept. 11, we've all looked. We've all tried to connect. But in a country of unparalleled diversity and contrasting opinions, true connection is difficult.
We've settled for a slogan. Some enterprising soul printed up slick bumper stickers with a flag and that phrase: "United We Stand." The phrase, the image — a country coming together in the face of an unknown destructive evil — struck a chord.
Folks snapped up the stickers. The slogan spread. Because it comforted us, and reassured us, we've believed it.
As for everything else — how to address the problem of terrorism, how to punish those responsible for destruction, how to deal with our enemies and allies throughout the world — little unity exists. As the weeks pass, it becomes more clear that the United States is less unified than ever before. People disagree violently about how the government should address the issue of security in airports, the threat of bioterror and the conflict in Afghanistan.
Yet the stickers don't mean we're truly united. Yes, we abhor the deaths of thousands in New York and Washington. That's common sense. I'd like to think we would abhor the deaths of thousands of people anywhere in the world. Such abhorrence shouldn't give us a sense of newfound unity. It should remind us of principles that have been there all alone.
Because these disagreements have the

events of Sept. 11 at their core, those involved can claim a moral high ground of trying to save lives or prevent future attacks. As time passes, the conflicts will become more severe. Criticisms of the government will multiply. People will argue about the best way to live.
These disagreements won't be solved by a slogan. "United We Stand" will not prevent terrorism. "United We Stand" will not give our leaders a coherent policy toward the Middle East. "United We Stand" will not make us safer.
This messiness isn't pretty. But this messiness is America. Bumper stickers don't do our country and its diversity justice. We will disagree in the months and years ahead. And we should. If we don't, there will be a price to pay that is worse than any of the terror we have seen thus far.
We will pay for "unity" with our freedoms.
We must stand apart. We must not let our unity get in the way of our differences. To do so is to ignore the strength and reality of American life. To do so is to let the bumper sticker win. We must be willing to stand apart — because that is how we will hold together.

Jayhawks can learn from Hoosiers
Time magazine article highlights freshman retention success
At U.S. public universities, nearly 60 percent of students fail to complete bachelor's degrees within five years, and half of these students leave school during the first year. At KU, twenty percent of 1999-2000 freshmen failed to return for the following school year, and the minority (excluding Asian-American) freshman retention rate was 67.4 percent. Kansas has improved retention from lower rates in the mid 1990s.
Earlier this fall, Time magazine published a report highlighting colleges and universities and the programs they have implemented to ensure that freshmen receive contact early and often, along with support from faculty, advisers, and upperclassmen.
Though Time recognized several area schools, including William Jewell College in Liberty. Mo. and Drury College in Springfield, Mo., the University of Kansas was not. The University is well behind Indiana University, ranked one of Time's best public ubi-
versities, which has an overall freshman retention and minority retention rates of 85 percent and 82 percent, respectively.
Kansas can learn from these model schools. For example, at Indiana, most freshmen join "interest groups," where they live and study with students of similar academic interests.
Kansas does have initiatives similar to those for which Indiana was recognized. The KU Freshman Summer Institute is comparable to Indiana's Intensive Freshman Seminar, which acquaints a small number of students with professors and the college environment.
In addition, at KU, Mt. Oread Scholars and Honors freshmen enroll in small professor-led seminars where they receive personal tutelage. The Office of Institutional Research and Planning reports that such seminars have a significant impact on retention, increasing the rate by up to 16 percent.
KU should consider the addition of such programs that have had success at similarly sized schools to bolster the already improving rates of retention.

At that time, blacks were barred from: the swimming pool, intercollegiate athletics, the glee club, the band, the orchestra and the debate team. They could not join ROTC or student council. They could not live in Corbin Hall or any of the fraternities or sororities. Seating was segregated at basketball games, conerts and the cafeteria. Most Lawrence businesses refused them service.
In 1927, KU student Noel Gist, writing in the alternative campus publication the Dove, lamented the lot of Black students at the University: "the Negro student is . . . virtually segregated, entirely socially ostracized, discriminated against and shunned by the 'superior' Whites."
Over the succeeding decades, Chancellors Earnest Lindley and Deane Mallott publicly opposed the segregation publicly but did not act forcefully against it. As a result, progress came, but slowly.
Seating was desegregated in the cafeteria in 1940, and Blacks were admitted to University dances in 1943, then University athletic teams in 1947.
In 1954, Chancellor Franklin Murphy threatened to begin showing first-
During the next 10 years, students became frustrated with continued progress, so in 1965, the Civil Rights Council and allies staged a sit-in in Chancellor W. Clark Wescoe's office. They demanded that he end discrimination in fraternities and sororities, cut University ties with all discriminatory organizations, and compel the Kansan to reject ads from discriminatory landlords. The students at the sit-in, pictured at right, were arrested and suspended, but their demands were largely met.
run movies on campus unless Lawrence movie theaters stopped segregating Blacks. The theaters desegregated and shortly after, so did the Eldridge Hotel restaurant. In 1955, Chancellor Murphy proclaimed discrimination to be "virtually eliminated" on campus.
2030 will mark 65 years since the sitin. Will KU be doing enough to create equality between the races? Too much?

Postal worker beats anthrax
The Associated Press
MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. — A postal employee who left the hospital yesterday after a three-week bout with inhalation anthrax said she thought she probably contracted the disease when a coworker shot compressed air into a jammed mail-processing machine and sent dust flying.
Norma Wallace said it was Oct. 9 — the same day a letter mailed to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle was postmarked — when the machine jammed twice.
She said her back was turned when a fellow employee blasted the machine's inner workings with compressed air.
in the days following that incident, what she thought was a cold developed pneumonia-like symptoms. She checked into a
hospital Oct. 19; days later, the 56-year-old Willingboro woman found out she had inhalation anthrax.
Wallace had asked while she was hospitalized not to be identified, but she came forward yesterday.
"I now am obligated to my peers and also to my nation," she said. "I have an obligation to explain that even though we have been confronted with a deadly disease, there is hope."
Wallace worked at the Hamilton post office, where three anthrax-tainted letters sent to Washington and New York were processed. A second postal worker from that building with a confirmed case in inhalation anthrax was released from the hospital two weeks ago.
There have been five confirmed cases of skin or inhalation anthrax in New Jersey. Officials said yesterday that all could be traced to the Hamilton facility. Wallace has not decided whether to return to work there.
When Wallace arrived at the emergency room, she was immediately treated with intravenous antibiotics. Also, bloody fluid was drained twice from her lungs, then chest tubes were inserted
By yesterday morning, she was ready to go home, fatigued and with slightly irregular breathing, but alert. She said she planned to return to life as usual, but admitted some trepidation opening the mail.
"We have the greatest scientists,the greatest physicians,"she said. "We don't have to stand back in fear."
UNITED NATIONS — The Interpol expert on a U.N. panel that investigated illegal gunrunning and diamond-dealing in Liberia said yesterday that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network may have used diamonds to move money.
Terrorists use every possible means to transfer money without using banking channels "and diamonds definitely is one of the most important channels," said Harjit Singh Sandhu of India, one of five panel experts.
The Associated Press
Al-Qaida linked to illegal diamond trade
experts.
"Where there are diamonds — be it Angola, be it in Sierra Leone or any place — definitely they will try to use that channel. That is common sense," he said.
The Washington Post reported Friday that al-Qaida has earned millions of dollars during the past three years from the illegal sale of diamonds mined by rebels from the Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone.
The U.N. panel did not investigate a possible link between al-Qaida and illegal diamond sales because there were no allegations until last week, but Sandhu said a new investigation could try to establish whether there is such a link.
Sierra Leone's deputy foreign minister, Sahr Matturi, also called for an investigation, saying a link between Al-Qaida and the Revolutionary United Front "would worry us tremendously."
The Security Council was
holding an open meeting yesterday on the panel's 129-page report, which found widespread violations of U.N. sanctions imposed this year to punish Liberian President Charles Taylor's arms and diamond dealings with Sierra Leone's rebels.
Singapore's U.N. Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani, chairman of the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions on Liberia, said it will be up to the 15-member council to decide whether there should be any follow-up on alleged terrorist diamond dealing in Liberia.
The council is expected to review Liberia's implementation of sanctions at a closed-door meeting tomorrow.

Broadway offers ribaldry, romance
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Broadway capsule reviews of shows as of Thursday are listed below:
Thursday are listed below.
Aida Elton John and Tim Rice's crowd-pleaser of a musical based on the ancient Egyptian love triangle. John's music may be the show's initial lure, but audiences will be wowed by designer Bob Crowley's spectacular sets and often outlandish costumes.
costumes.
*Beauty and the Beast* For those who want a lavish, literal, live-action version of the delightful Disney cartoon feature, this is the ticket. Others may be content to rent the film.
Cabaret Gina Gershon stars in this blistering, high-concept revival of the Kander and Ebb
musical set in pre-World War II Berlin. Still one of the most memorable musicals of the last four decades.
Chicago A potent revival of the 1975 Bob Fosse musical with a sassy Kander and Ebb score. Now Broadway's longest running musical revival — and deservedly so.
Forty-Second Street Those tapping feet are back. A loud, relentless revival of one of the biggest musical hits of the 1980s.
Les Miserables It's been shortened a bit, but this musical retelling of the epic Victor Hugo novel still pushes three hours, a journey made bearable by a still-jaundy and lushly romantic score.
The Full Monty A raunchy, funny musical version of the British film success, transplanted to Buffalo, N.Y.
The Phantom of the Opera The one with the chandelier. The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical about a deformed composer who haunts the Paris Opera House is the prime, Grade A example of big Brit musical excess. But all the lavishness does have a purpose in Harold Prince's intelligent production.
The Producers Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick star in a riotous stage version of the Mel Brooks movie. The musical is even better than the film, which is saying something. Winner of the 2001 Tony Award for best musical.

Men's golf leads tournament after senior fires career best
By John Domoney
Kansan sportswriter
With the completion of one round of The Prestige at Palm Desert, Calif., yesterday, the Kansas men's golf team is No.1 among the 20 teams competing in the event.
in the event The Jayhawks are tied with tournament host California-Davis at the top of the standings with a combined team round of 278. The score is the best single-round score for the Hawks in their fall schedule.
Yesterday's schedule was intended to feature 36 holes, but the second round was cut short because of darkness in Palm Desert. The first round featured slow play that saw rounds of more than five hours.
Despite the grinding pace on
the course, all five of the players who competed for Kansas were able to shoot scores of par or below on the par-72 Desert Willow Golf Resort.
Senior Travis Hurst led Kansas, firing an 8-under par 64. Hurst's score is the best of his collegiate career and put him alone in first place at the tournament.
Junior Chris Marshall shot a 2-under par 70 for a tie in 12th place. Along with Marshall, three other Jayhawks are grouped together in a tie for 53rd place.
Senior Casey Harbour, sophomore Tyler Hall and redshirt freshman Kevin Ward each enjoyed steady rounds, carding even par 72s.

Kansas coach Ross Randall said he was pleased with his
"I'm very pleased with the first round, especially with Travis' play." Randall said. "We had a good morning round that was enhanced by the beautiful weather here in California. We still have our work cut out for us tomorrow."

played with him and he hoped that his team would be focused and rested. The Jayhawks had a 4:30 a.m. wake-up call this morning.
The second round will be finished at 6:30 a.m. PST today, and the final round is this afternoon.
"I don't think you can make a wholesale bunch of changes at this point in the season," Hayes said. "It's too hard to do that, to rearrange everybody's schedule, and I'm not going to do that."
Hayes: Will rely on his past
we respect him the fullest," said senior defensive lineman Nate Dwyer. "Everybody likes him and knows exactly what he has been doing with our defense."
Hayes has won everywhere he's been. This season is only the second in his last 15 years at the college level that his team won't qualify for a bowl.
"He is an excellent coach, and
Even though has neverserved as coach at the college level, Hayes said he has had the chance to do so.
"I've had opportunities, but I've turned them down," he said.
"I just believe in doing a good job where you're at and if it gets you
to the big chair then great."
Hayes is ready for the changes that will follow in the last three weeks of the season, but he said one change wouldn't take place.
one change would be,
"I'm keeping my bass boat," he joked. "I need some place to escape."

Kansas must open wallet if it wants to win football games
Al Bohl now has the much bigger, more complex and even more important task of making good on his promise that Kansas' football team will be competitive in the Big 12 Conference.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2001
finding a competent football coach should be such a high priority to the University administration. And if the coach Bohl hires to build a winning program fails, it isn't an overstatement to say Kansas' athletics director might find himself facing a contract buy-out in a few years just like Allen did on Sunday.
Firing Terry Allen was the easy part.
A good football program can cure all. It could curb the financial woes Kansas' athletics department is experiencing. It can be a huge recruiting tool for the University. It generates money.
Bohl has the credentials to create a high-profile football program.
He wasn't hired to bring tailgating to campus or for pregame gimmicks such as rock bands and giant inflatable toys for children. Fans will fill Memorial Stadium without artificial incentives if the Jayhawks become competitive.
Bohl took doormats at Toledo in the late '80s and Fresno State in the mid-90s and made them conference champions.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway hired Bohl in June to pull Kansas football out of the Big 12 cellar and create a winner in the early 2000s.
But Bohl can't do it alone.
Hemenway and University administrators will need to put the same kind of emphasis that they've focused on bringing more National Merit Scholars to the University toward getting a high-quality coach if they are serious about having a top-tier athletics program and a namebrand institution.
brand institution There is just one way to do that: Spend money. A lot of it.
The new coach will not come cheap. Florida State's Bobby Bowden, who tops all college football coaches, earns $2 million a year in salary and incentives. Kansas' new coach won't make that kind of money, but he most surely will earn more than the roughly $320,000 Allen made in salary and incentives this year, according to the Associated Press.
according to the coach won't be the only one making big bucks. Coaching begins with the coach, but it is carried out by and ends with the assistants.
Allen's best coaching staff was the one he assembled before this season, but he also faced his toughest schedule with the least amount of athletic talent he had during his five years at Kansas.
In 1997, Allen brought his coaching staff from the University of Northern Iowa with him. Bound by loyalty, he stuck by those men when he probably should have tried to find more qualified assistants.
assistants. Or maybe Allen knew he couldn't find better coaches than the ones he had, because the University wouldn't shell out the kind of money top assistants earn. Until last season, Kansas' football coaches were the lowest paid in the Big 12.
were the lowest payers. The salary raise is a positive sign that Hemenway and other University brass realize a school's image is largely based on its athletic teams, not merit scholars or research.
If Hemenway is serious about making Kansas a Top 25 school, he'd better give Bohl a checkbook with a big balance and hope he can do at Kansas what he did at Toledo and Fresno State.

Kansas football interim coach Tom Hayes, left, takes questions from the media Sunday afternoon with Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director. Hayes took over coaching duties yesterday for the Jayhawks' remaining three games.
New football coach undaunted by task
By Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
More than 30 years of coaching in college and professional football helped brace Tom Hayes for the onslaught he faced yesterday.
"I feel like I'm prepared," said Hayes, who was named Kansas interim football coach on Sunday. "I've seen how it's supposed to be done — how it needs to be done — to be successful. Hopefully I can draw from that experience."
Yesterday, Hayes spoke on the Big 12 Conference coach's teleconference attended a full slate of coaches' meetings and was host of a weekly coach's radio show.
radio show He still has to formulate a game plan for Kansas' Saturday game against Texas,plan a week of practice and
"I don't think you can make a wholesale bunch of changes at this point in the season ... I'm not going to do that."

Despite all this, he showed no signs of stress or strain as he addressed his situation yesterday.
return a hoard of phone calls
"It just necessitates more time for me," said Hayes, who replaced coach Terry Allen on Sunday.
Allen was fired after posting a 20-33
record in five seasons at Kansas.
But Hayes has been around too long to be overwhelmed.
to be overweight. In his career, he has spent time at UCLA, Texas A&M and Oklahoma, working under coaches such as Terry Donahue, R.C. Slocum and Gary Gibbs. Then he spent five years as the defensive secondary coach for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League.
A day into his new job, Hayes already had the details of his operation worked out. He won't be involved in offensive play-calling, and he won't give up his responsibilities as defensive coordinator. He will oversee the entire operation, but Rip Scherer will continue to run the offense, and Clint Bowen will continue to run the special teams.

During their most successful regular season to date, four Kansas soccer players earned spots on the All-Big 12 Conference teams, the league office said yesterday.
Junior defender Pardis Brown and senior forward Hilla Rantala were named second-team All-Big 12, and freshman goalkeeper Meghan Miller and forward Monica Brothers were named to the All-Newcomer team.
Brown, a repeat all-conference selection, is co-captain and anchor of Kansas' strong backfield. She thought two selections on the all-conference team was not enough.
"For us to get four in there is definitely good," said coach Mark Francis. "I think it's great for our program and great for the individuals because they all deserved it."
Brown, a Salt Lake City native, transferred from the University of Portland after her freshman year. She has had quite an impact in the Big 12, landing all-conference spots both years and being named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week last season.
team was not enough. "The fact that we only had two players on the second team is pretty pathetic," Brown said. "It'sunfortunate because there are like five players that deserve to be on there."
Rantala has tallied 10 goals and 12 assists to pace the Jayhawk offensive attack. She will leave Kansas with numerous offensive
the schools as the teachers. "I'm glad Hilla's been able to stay healthy all year," Francis said. "I think for her it's good because there were more players around her this year to give her a little bit of a better opportunity to do well. I think it ended up working out well for her."

Kansas plays professionals in opener
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team begins the 2001-02 preseason tonight by facing a formidable — and somewhat unexpected — opponent.
POLICE
Marian Washington
The Jayhawks will play the Houston Jaguars at 7:05 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse, the first of two exhibition games for Kansas this week. The Jayhawks were recently surprised to find out
that Houston had several professional athletes.
A handful of the Jaguars have professional experience as members of the WNBA, including former Big 12 Conference star Amanda Lassiter (Missouri) Jamie Redd (Washington) and Vanessa Nygaard (Stanford).
"To be honest, I did not know," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "You really don't know the caliber of the teams. Some end up being very weak, and some are really strong."
Senior guard Selena Scott is in the starting line-up, along with fellow co-captains Nikki White and K.C. Hilgenkamp. Sophomore Sharonne Spencer will start her first game as a Jayhawk after sitting out as a redshirt last season. Freshman Chelsey Thompson will round out the starting five.
"I don't think it matters who starts," Scott said. "I think it matters if we pull out a victory or not."
"He's like family," Washington said. "I'm just really proud of how he's done."
Washington said Cook's Jaguars would have an up-tempo running style with a strong defensive game.
Jaguar coach Kevin Cook served under Kansas coach Marian Washington from 1984-1993, before becoming a five-year assistant coach with the four-time WNBA champion Houston Comets.
Kansas has compiled a six-game preseason winning streak and stands at 15-7 overall in exhibition games.
"It's an exhibition game, so it definitely gives us a chance to see how far we've come along," Washington said. "If you're gonna lose, lose now. But we're not going to lose, we're going to win."

City approves contract for fire station near campus
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Several fire alarms have forced Grant Burchfield, McCollum Hall resident, outside this semester.
Because Burchfield, Des Moines, Iowa, freshman, has to wait outside anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, he said he was glad to hear the city was going to build a fire station near his hall at the intersection of 21st and Iowa streets.
"It would help reduce the time it takes them to get here," Burchfield said.
The closest fire station to the University of Kansas is station No. 1 at 746 Kentucky St.
746 Kentucky State Fire codes state that fire trucks need to arrive at the scene of 90 percent of calls within four minutes driving time, said Fire and Medical Chief Jim McSwain.
That isn't always possible because of the growth of Lawrence since 1982 when the last fire station was built, he said. A relocated station No. 2 is under construction on Harper Street.
McSwain said the city studied the growth of Lawrence in 1994 and began a comprehensive plan to relocate and build new fire stations
A station at a central location, such as 21st and Iowa streets, would give the city and University faster service. McSwain said.
In 1995, the city and the Kansas University Endowment Association began working on a plan in which the city would lease 2.25 acres of land from the Endowment Association to build the new station.
The city will have a 25-year lease with the option of renewing for another 25 years, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the association.
association The city will pay $1 a year for use of the land, which will go into a fund. Scarfie said.
Last night, the city commission approved the contract and construction on the new station is expected to begin in 2004, McSwain said, once the construction and relocation of fire station No. 2 was complete. Its new location will be on Harper Street instead of Haskell Avenue.
instead to Pressure.
The new station No. 5 will house the hook and ladder truck, now at station No.1, and the hazardous materials unit, now at station No.4, 2819 Stonebarn Terrace, McMewain said.
The station should be completed by 2005 and will have a staff of 12 firefighters.
"It's just really good for all of us," Scarffe said.

Crash leads to prison time
Lawrence resident given 71-month sentence for February accident that killed KU student
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Brandon Gentry, the man who pleaded guilty to killing Shyra McGee in a February car accident, was sentenced yesterday to 71 months in prison.
Judge Jack Murphy sentenced the 30-year-old Lawrence resident on one count of involuntary manslaughter; two counts of aggravated battery; one count of driving under the influence, second offense;
one count of speeding; and one count of failure to obey a traffic signal.
All five sentences will be served at the same time. Gentry will also have to pay $540 in fines for the DUI and two traffic offenses.
"This isn't about vengeance; this is about justice," said Assistant District Attorney Dave Zabel, speaking on

On Feb. 4, 2001, McGee was a passenger in a 1989 Honda Accord her husband was driving. Amber Sellers, Wichita junior, was in the back seat. After stopping at a traffic light on Monterey Way, her husband began to cross Sixth Street when the light turned green.

Gentry's blood-alcohol level was .28; the legal level in Kansas is .08.
It was his second accident while driving under the influence. The first was in 1997. No one was injured, and he was given probation.
In 1992, Gentry was convicted on charges of cultivating marijuana and received treatment as part of his sentencing.
The state of Kansas has sentencing guidelines that consider the nature of the offense and the defendant's criminal history in passing a sentence.

Senators want Fieldhouse seating to change
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Matt Dwyer is convinced that different student seating that makes students more visible to the rest of the fans, could intensify the atmosphere at Kansas basketball home games.
"We don't want to uproot the whole seating arrangement," said Dwyer, off-campus senator. "We're not taking away any seats from any group. We're just moving them around."
He said he and other members of the Delta Force coalition would present their argument within the next two weeks to the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation.
Kansas Athletics Corporal Richard Konzem, KUAC associate director, said he would be glad to hear suggestions, but added that it would be hard to change the current seating system.
"If it's not broke, don't fix it," he said. "This is arguably the best environment for college basketball."
Improving student seating at basketball games was one of the platform issues of Delta Force last year during Student Senate elections.
One of about 15 proposed changes that Dwyer and other Delta Force members will present to the KUAC is moving student seating from the south end of Allen Fieldhouse to join the students located at the north end, giving them more sideline seating access near the northwest corner.
Wes Goodner, administration assistant to the ticket office at Duke University, said undergraduate students sat in the first seven or eight rows on both sidelines of Cameron Indoor Stadium, being more visible during televised games. He said graduate students sat in the first nine rows on each end of the court.
Dwyer said no matter where the students sat, their seating would have to stretch from the bottom of the sections because of view concerns.

Bloomberg wins mayor post in narrow New York race
The Associated Prese
Billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg, a Republican, beat veteran consumer activist Mark Green, a Democrat, in a close New York election to succeed Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a Republican barred from seeking a third term.
Green, the city's elected public advocate, spent about $12 million on his campaign, while Bloomberg, the billionaire owner of the Bloomberg financial information company, was expected to spend more than $50 million of his own money. That makes it the most expensive mayoral campaign in U.S. history, according to Common Cause, a citizen lobbying group.

Federal law enforcement officials said there was no indication Gurung was involved in terrorism. In a statement the FBI reported that Gurung did not share an address with alleged terrorist suspects as earlier reported.
Law enforcement officials said Gurung told them he had mistakenly packed the knives in a plastic bag rather than his luggage before leaving for the airport.

WORLD Russians bury sailors removed from Kursk sub
MOSCOW — Nine bodies removed from the wreckage of the Kursk nuclear submarine were buried yesterday in their home cities evoking painful memories of the disaster more than a year ago.
Many of the sailors came from the western city of Kursk, and eight bodies were buried there yesterday. Another sailor was buried in the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod.

Pinochet facing charges from former army officers
SANTIAGO, Chile — Ten former army officers filed a criminal complaint against Gen. Augusto Pinochet yesterday, claiming they were tortured and unjustly discharged for opposing human rights abuses under the former dictator's rule.
Former Commander Efrain Jana and the others were detained and discharged in the first few weeks after the 1973 coup led by Pinochet, when a harsh repression was launched against supporters of the deposed government of Marxist President Salvador Allende. Jana was at the time commander of a regiment in the southern city of Talca.
Pinochet is accused of 18 kidnapings and 57 homicides in the "Caravan of Death," a military squad that executed 75 political prisoners shortly after he seized power.
Retired Gen. Sergio Arellano, the commander of the caravan, was also named as a defendant in Jana's complaint.

Students discuss media's role
By J.R. Mendoza
Kansan staff writer
The portrayal of women and minorities in the media can be a challenging task.
About 45 people attended a discussion last night in the Kansas Union about the media, "Making the Headlines: The Difference Between Being in the News and Telling One's Own Story."
Four panelists participated in the discussion, which was sponsored by The Multicultural Resource Center, Office of Multicultural Affairs and the University of Kansas Coalition Against Racism and Discrimination. The event was part of the 2001-2002 Diversity Dialogue Series.
Panelist Corrina Beck passed around a copy of a fashion spread from Cosmopolitan magazine called "I Spy Sexy." It featured women changing into lingerie as someone spied them through a window.
Beck, the sexual assault prevention/education coordinator for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said the advertisement dehumanized woman and might lead to violence.
"It's glorification of voyeurism," she said. "It's a really dangerous concept. But sex still sells. Women are buying into this."
Some women in the audience, however, said they didn't see a problem with the layout.
Amber Byarlay, Salina sophomore, said it surprised her that several women stood up for the advertising spread.
"It's kind of disturbing to see pictures of people from someone looking through a window," she said. "But it's important to realize there are different view points."
points.
Byarlay said she attended the dialogue because she was interested in how advertising affects people.

Panelist Courtney Bates
Chicago junior and president of the KU chapter of the National Council of Negro Women, said more students of color needed to work for the Kansan. Bates gave the media a poor grade in covering issues about minorities.
Panelist Leita Schultes, managing editor for the Kansan and Rolfe, Iowa, junior, said the Kansan was trying to improve diversity in the newsroom and in its coverage.

Management at Sunrise Place would not comment on how it deals with tenant concerns.
Jo Hardesty, director and managing attorney of KU Legal Services, said the biggest issues brought on by students and landlords were security deposits and maintenance issues.
Tenants are concerned with conditions

Hardesty said students often came to legal services because of small maintenance issues or one major issue. She said one reason students had faced problems with their landlords was because many students had no previous renting experience.
"They may just not know what their rights are," she said.
Students should thoroughly read their leases so they understand what the obligations are between themselves and their landlords, Hardesty said.

She said students concerned about their rights were encouraged to look at the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, which specifies the duties and obligations of landlords and what procedures need to be followed.
Hardesty said students should contact the housing inspector to view the premises if they had issues concerning safety of the apartment or housing code violations.
Students concerned about their apartment complex or landlord can set up a free appointment with KU Legal Services by calling 864-5665 or visiting 148 Burge Union.

Course retake policy debated further

The Senate Executive Committee tabled a resolution drafted yesterday after its language resulted in confusion about how the course retake policy would be implemented next semester.

The resolution was drafted last week to clarify implementation of the course retake policy at professional schools, but yesterday's SenEx meeting failed to answer concerns that individual professional schools could reject students because they had used the course retake policy.
The policy, approved by Chancellor Robert Hemenway last summer, would allow students to retake any class beginning next semester in which they receive a D or F in order to boost their grade point averages. The original grades will remain on the transcript.
SenEx decided a representative from the provost's office needed to provide them with direction.

Starbucks' opening spurs mixed feelings in town

Special to the Kansan
Starbucks Corporation will open its first free-standing store in Lawrence at 647 Massachusetts street in December, amid some apprehension and much attention.
Starbucks will join the coffee shop craze on Massachusetts St. as the eighth store in six blocks. The 1,700-square-foot store that will feature both indoor and outdoor seating.
Adam Robinson, manager of Henry's coffee shop and bar at 11 E. 10th, said it was hard for him to believe that the Chamber of Commerce thought Starbucks would benefit the downtown community.
"I really would have liked to have seen more done to keep them out," said Robinson, "not to negate the free market prospect, but to emphasize the community in downtown Lawrence," Robinson said. "They put seven coffee shops downtown at jeopardy by them coming to town."
Chamber of Commerce CEO and President Bill Sepic said that corporate businesses like Starbucks added to the community.

Downtown Lawrence, Inc. exists for the preservation of
downtown Lawrence. One hundred and eighty business owners pay dues for activities sponsored by the organization, like economic development studies, recruiting new businesses, and downtown beautification.
The organization also builds relationships with property owners because the property owners have the final say whether a business moves in or not.
The city does not have any control over which companies move to Lawrence or where they should go as long as the companies comply to zoning laws.
Tim Fritzel is part owner of GCB Holdings, the landlord of the future Starbucks site. He said few people opposed the opening of the store.
"I've heard 15 or 20 people say they don't want it to come here." Fritzel said. "That's probably the same people who sat in the middle of the street on couches."
Haylee Nair, Vinita, Okla., junior, said she thought it was "disgusting" Sturbuccs would move into the same block as two local coffee shops.

The hall that cried "Fire"
PERSPECTIVE
It's 3 a.m. on Sunday morning. I don't know what you were doingperhaps partying, studying or sleeping — but I can tell you what McCollum hall residents are doing. We're shuffling down stairs amid the angry whine of fire alarms and the frustrated grumbles of other residents. As we get outside, sirens gradually coming closer blare over the noise of the alarm. Rescue workers, police officers and even pizza guys show up. The only thing missing is fire.
After spending half an hour to forty-five minutes outside, it's over. Now replay this scene at 5:30 am and then again at 8:30am, and you have a pretty good idea what it was like around "Big Mac" this weekend. Three fire alarms pulled in one night, seven in one week.
This is dangerous. Not just because lack of sleep can lead to bad grades and worse attitudes. And not just because any crazy on the street could attempt to get in when the students rush to their rooms. It's dangerous because rather than go outside, some students crawl under beds or in closets as if they were Jews hiding from the Nazis. It's dangerous because residents think of ways to punish the "pullers" rather than consider that maybe, just maybe, this is a real fire.
Such apathy might have contributed to deaths in Boland Hall dormitory at Seton Hall University. Seventeen false alarms there in the fall of 1999 preceded a real fire that killed three and injured more than fifty. Did students simply think, "Here we go again?" Would they find people trapped in hiding places if McCollum caught on fire?
This is a potentially deadly situation. It needs to be treated as such — by the residence and by the administrators. Even if you don't live in Big Mac, dorm life is all about community; people need to be willing to work together to stop the insanity. Until those who find this kind of prank amusing flunk out of school, residence hall staff needs the support of the administration to investigate and enforce punishments. They also need the residents to continue to cooperate, which means being willing to make another midnight trip to the parking lot, if necessary. The boy who cried wolf eventually got bit. Let's hope that never happens to us.

Tolerance is an attribute the campus should foster
I like to think that the University of Kansas is a very welcoming place for people of all backgrounds, religions, beliefs and morals. I still believe that it is quite welcoming, however, there are a few people that can ruin it for everyone.
Let me give you an example. Up until a few weeks ago, I was living in Lewis Hall. The people were very nice and respectful of me and what I did; all of them with the exception of my roommates.
I had considered telling them I was gay before I came to school, but figured that it was not of importance. Plus, I did not flaunt my sexuality in their faces or make it unbearable for them. One night when I had gone to work and left my computer on, one of my three roommates figured out the password to my screensaver and typed homophobic remarks. I was furious. I took it as discrimination and did not stay in my room for two weeks while I was being assigned a new room.
The University of Kansas is full of many homosexual people, whether others want to grasp that idea or not. Gay people are not diseased like everyone thinks they are. It's not a chosen lifestyle, believe me. If I could be straight, I would in an instant. We don't care if you think what we do is wrong; to us it isn't wrong. All we ask

for is tolerance.
Tolerance, by definition, is the capacity or the practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs and practices of others. There are many things my friends do that I don't approve of, yet I'm tolerant of their actions and accept them for who I am. Being gay is not easy. I know that no matter where I go, there is always going to be someone out there who is going to make me feel bad for my sexuality. I can't get married to the man I love, hate crimes for gays still aren't punished in a lot of states, and I can't express my love for my partner out in public because it is not socially acceptable. However, the main reason that a lot of gay people don't receive the rights they deserve is ignorance.
really appreciate or comprehend what it means to be gay until they meet a gay person and get to know them. Once people understand that we are normal human beings like everyone else, and then we will receive the rights that belong to us.
Everyone has the misperceptions about gay people. Not all gay men are flaming, AIDS and HIV are just as much a straight disease as it is a gay disease and we aren't all into the happy pop music. I don't think anyone can
Tolerance doesn't go just for the gay society. It goes for every race, religion, and nationality as well. There are a lot of Middle Eastern people on campus and with the September 11 attacks, they have received a lot of discrimination as well. Next time you have feelings of hate towards someone, broaden your horizons and make an effort to get to know that person. Then, and only then, will you appreciate what it's like to be diverse.
In order for our society to become more tolerant of gay people, we must stop the discrimination now. Stop making fun of the gay lifestyle, watch your language because using the word gay often has a negative connotation, and watch your actions so that you don't upset a gay person. Using the word "fag" is just as bad as calling an African American a "nigger." Tolerance is all it takes, and it does not take a lot of effort.

Men need to be a part of healing
Womyn Take Back the Night is not as positive and empowering as it aims to be.
Among the arguments for segregation, the biggest is the need for women's safety in the women's circle. However, it is not men as a group that should be feared or excluded simply because of their gender. It is the attackers and abusers who should be ostracized. How can it be positive to exclude all men from our community because some may be harmful?
The problem of rape and domestic abuse needs to be addressed by our entire community, not segregated by gender. While both men and women have a place in Womyn Take Back the Night, we now look at the problem and discuss it as halves of a whole. Men and women live together, work together, learn and play together and need to solve our problems together.

In recent years, abuse in lesbian relationships has surfaced as a concern. While female abusers are told they are not welcome in the circle, no one can force them to leave. Yet men are excluded because of a threat they pose? Just as all women aren't safe, all men are not unsafe. The finger should be pointed at abusers.

The event needs a revamping, and including men in all aspects of the event is the first change that needs to be made. Second, the focus needs to be better balanced between healing past wrongs and preventing future attacks. Today too much of the focus is on the past, rather than coming together to prevent it from happening again. We need to stand together and tackle drug abuse, the availability of health care, birth control, affordable counseling and most of all poverty.

Yes, I benefited from Womyn Take Back the Night. Four years ago I helped organize the march here in Lawrence. I co-organized again in the fall of 1999 and attended in 2000. Each time, family and friends joined me, and I participated in both the pre-march activities and the march itself.
For me, even though one of my best male friends dutifully attended every march in unity with us girls, he couldn't stand with me; and when my family all stood there and supported my speaking out, it was my family (mom, dad and four girls) minus my father.
I know my male friends and my father benefited from the men's circle, but the men's circle is not enough. If the event is about healing and empowerment, I would have gained more with the presence of those men in my life standing there and being with me, rather than in solidarity with me on the other side of town.

The reasoning that other women may be intimidated by these men isn't a reason to exclude them. They did nothing wrong, and they need to be part of the solution.
It's time for something new. Rape and domestic abuse will not end until the social ills that provoke them end, and until we win that battle, we need to stand together, not apart, and shout what we demand.

Aquifer begins to run dry
New plan for Ogallala will allow communities to manage water source
The Associated Press
WICHITA — A new plan designed by western Kansans would localize management of the Ogallala Aquifer, the region's primary water source.
The Kansas Water Authority is to receive the plan formally in Dodge City today. The authority is to decide tomorrow morning whether to accept the proposal, the first step to including it in the state's 2004 water plan.
"This is the lifeblood of western Kansas, and that makes it the lifeblood of all of Kansas," said Rex Buchanan, associate director of the Kansas Geological Survey.
In its report, the committee said it believed that incentive-based programs, improvements in technology and education were the best way to conserve and extend the life of the aquifer.
Also proposed by the Ogallala Aquifer Management Advisory Committee is abandonment the so-called two-pools proposal that established a "use" pool and a "conservation" pool within the aquifer.
Buchanan, who was one of the staff members working with the
citizen group, said the new plan recognized the variable nature of the aquifer from place to place.
"It will help in the sense that it will identify the areas where the problem is more severe, and focus on them," he said.
Garden City farmer Cliff Mayo, one of the four Kansas Water Authority members who sat on the committee that drafted the proposal, said he expected the full board would accept the proposal.
Mayo said that the two-pool concept was not accepted by the groundwater management districts and residents of western Kansas because it was perceived as an intrusion on their property rights. He called it a misunderstanding by the public of the twopool proposal.
"I'm satisfied that we have given it our best effort to this point," Mayo said. "I'm not satisfied it is the total answer because I don't know what the answer ought to be. We worked pretty hard to look at it."
poor people "It wasn't accepted, and it wouldn't be accepted," he said. "The terminology was dropped."
The committee's plan would delineate the Ogallala Aquifer into aquifer sub-units with similar characteristics.
Water use goals would then be set according to the decline of groundwater.
Areas with ample water supplies would need either no or modest reductions in water use. For those areas with rapid declines in groundwater, and short usable lifetime, more aggressive goals should be set, the committee recommended.
For those areas with rapid decline in groundwater, strict administration of existing water law should be applied if incentive and voluntary plans fail, according to the recommendations.
The proposal also calls for research and education to extend and conserve the life of the Ogallala.
Buchanan said the problem of declining groundwater in western Kansas did not develop overnight and would not be solved overnight.
"There isn't one single magic bullet out there that is going to solve this problem," Buchan said. "There are a lot of things that when taken in conjunction will make a difference."
"This one isn't easy. It is a crucial issue," Buchanan said. "It affects the livelihood of nearly everybody in western Kansas, whether they are irrigators or not."
Man receives death penalty
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — A man was sentenced to death in the electric chair yesterday for raping and strangling a 13-year-old girl and drowning her 7-year-old brother after arguing with their mother.
Arthur Lee Gales Jr. was convicted in August on two counts of first-degree murder in the Nov. 12 deaths of Latara and Tramar Chandler. He was also convicted of attempted first-degree murder for beating the mother, Judy Chandler, whom he had once dated.
Gales, 36, maintained his innocence, but DNA evidence helped prosecutors convict him at trial.
He sat in silence without handcuffs as District Judge Gerald Moran handed down two death sentences for the murders and an additional sentence of up to 50 years in prison for the attempted murder.
"Now my children can rest. Justice has been served," Chandler, 36, said afterward.
She had urged that Gales be sentenced to death, but the slain children's father, Tracey Newman, disagreed.
"It's just more pain to other families and my family." Newman said. "I wanted him to live out his life like I have to live it out. Let him know what he did every day."
Prosecutors argued Gales should get the death penalty because of the cruelty of the crimes and because the children were killed to cover up their mother's beating.
Prosecutors also pointed to Gales' criminal history, which includes convictions for sexual assault and armed robbery.
Defense lawyers argued that Gales should be spared for the

broad tracks.
Chandler's daughter was found raped and strangled in a bedroom in Chandler's apartment. Her son was found drowned in the bathtub.
Gales joins six other men currently on Nebraska's death row. Nebraska is one of only two states with the electric chair as the sole method of execution. The other is Alabama.
Alabama Under Nebraska law, death sentences are automatically appealed to the state Supreme Court. No date has been set for the appeal.
Nazi guard may get deported
CHICAGO — The federal government wants to revoke a 77-year-old man's citizenship, claiming that when he applied to become a U.S. citizen he failed to reveal he had been an armed guard at two Nazi concentration camps.
The Associated Press
An attorney for Joseph Guzulaitis claims his client was forced to work at a German prison camp but never entered it and does not know what happened there.
"At worst, he was a lowly guard," attorney John Gibaitis said of Guzulaitis, a retired baker. Gibaitis said he would fight any effort to strip Guzulaitis of his citizenship or deport him.
According to a civil complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Chicago,
Guzulaitis was a member of a Lithuanian battalion that worked as security for Nazis and killed Jews.
and killed jews. The government said he patrolled Polish and German camps, and guarded prisoners during a "death march" from the German camp at Hersbruck to the Dachau concentration camp in April 1945.
Guzulaitis was arrested in Germany in October 1945 after two Holocaust survivors recognized him on a Munich street as a concentration camp guard, according to the complaint.
But he was released in March 1947 after U.S. authorities misplaced paperwork, the Justice Department said in a news release. He entered the United States in 1950 and was naturalized in Chicago in 1964, according to the department.
The Justice Department alleges that during the naturalization process, Guzulaitis mentioned he had been fined for running a stop sign, but not that he had been arrested in 1945 as a suspected war criminal.
Nazis built the Majdanek concentration camp in eastern Poland in 1941. By 1944, 360,000 mostly Jewish inmates were killed. Court records allege that Guzulaiis served as an armed guard at the camp and was there on Nov. 3, 1943, when at least 17,000 Jews were shot to death.
The average life expectancy of a prisoner at the Hersbruck forced labor camp in Germany was two months during the time Guzulaitis allegedly was there, according to the Justice Department.
Dirty birds cause health woes
The Associated Press
WICHITA - Two educators have been diagnosed with a respiratory illness caused by exposure to the pigeons that flock around the high school where they work.
Northeast Magnet High School will close tomorrow at 3 p.m. for a four-day cleaning, during which workers will vanquish any remaining birds and remove their droppings and feathers. The school will reopen next Tuesday after the Veterans Day holiday.
Victoria Science teacher Jean LakeBrown and guidance counselor Victoria Jackson were diagnosed with pigeon fancier's disease this fall.
"We are now being told we
can never go back in the building, and I have to be careful for the rest of my life," Lake-Brown said.
The disease, which is sometimes called pigeon lung, is an allergic reaction to bacteria in the droppings. It can cause shortness of breath, coughing and in some cases, fever, said Garold Minns, a professor at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita. Some people are predisposed to pigeon lung while others might never be bothered.
No other faculty members or students have reported respiratory problems and they are not in danger, said Tim Phares, the district's environmental services supervisor.
Several parents said they were not especially worried about their children's safety, but some said they may take extra precautions.
Lake-Brown and Jackson are still working for the school. But since Oct. 5 they've been doing their work at the Atwater Neighborhood City Hall, which is two blocks away.
It is unclear whether either woman will remain at the school in the spring,but neither wanted to quit her job mid semester.
"Their status in the future is up to them and their doctor," assistant principal David Wessling said.

States split in agreement of Microsoft settlement
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Half the 18 states that sued Microsoft have agreed with the Justice Department to settle the landmark monopoly case, leaving a judge to decide how to resolve the antitrust charges against the American software giant.
the agreement places the nine states and the federal government in a position to end their historic litigation against Microsoft, and the rest of the parties to argue what sanctions the court should impose on the company.
Yet some leading states that signaled they'll move forward in the trial left open the possibility of an eventual settlement.
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said he would closely scrutinize the deal reached between Microsoft and the other states. Similarly, Iowa
Attorney General Tom Miller, who led the case for the states, said his experts "continue to look at the agreement."
But as the coalition of states splintered, Miller acknowledged: "We've parted ways in some respects today."
U. S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly yesterday scheduled hearings to consider the settlement and set a schedule for the antitrust lawsuit to proceed. The judge also ended her order requiring the parties to meet nonstop with a court-appointed mediator.
"I to put test their fortitude and they persevered," she said, giving no hints how she would rule on the settlement.
Before the hearing, New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer announced his state would join Illinois, North Carolina, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Louisiana and Maryland in
approving a revised settlement they negotiated through the night with Microsoft. Wisconsin was the surprise defection, since a top antitrust lawyer there, Kevin J O'Connor, has long been a key participant in the case.
The late concessions forced by the states would broaden the disclosures Microsoft must make to rivals about the operation of its powerful server software.
By adding the phrase "or the Internet" to one section, lawyers for the states explicitly required Microsoft to reveal technical details about servers other than just those used for office networks. That slight change could broaden the settlement to cover Microsoft's future business strategies of providing Internet services.
The states also negotiated to establish a separate oversight committee, so the states can ensure compliance.
People find comfort in food
The Associated Press
IRVINE, Calif. — Robert Zumberge can't seem to get enough cowboy coffee — a steaming concoction of hot java and dark chocolate miniatures. For Kim Almquist, candy is her comfort food.
There's something about certain foods, something that feels good after so much bad news that started with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"What's one more chocolate?" said Almquist, 24. "It seems a little strange to be obsessing about something like that when there's so much more going on."
Zumberge, 49, typically would think twice about indulging his sweet coffee craving. "But now? Not so much," he said.
People across the country have turned to food — from chocolate to instant mashed potatoes to peanut butter and jelly — to deal with the anxiety of the terrorist attacks and anthrax
scares, according to dietitians and psychologists.
"It's hard to measure because people don't know they are doing it. But you're hearing it and you're seeing it," said Connie Diekman, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association
"The No. 1 predictor of diet failure is stress. The last two months, without question, whether people feel it or not, has been a very stressful time. People aren't thinking about eating healthy."
It's a point punctuated by a recent A.C. Nielsen survey of grocery store sales that showed a spike in comfort food purchases. It found snack food sales increased nearly 12.4 percent in September compared to the previous year; the sale of instant potatoes jumped almost 13 percent, according to Information Resources Inc.
Even Weight Watchers groups
have reported an unusual number of members saying the attacks have added an element of stress in maintaining their diets
"There's been a lot of discussion in meeting rooms. In addition to talking about food, they are talking about emotions. It's unusual to have the same topic on the top of everybody's minds and have it pose the same problems," said spokeswoman Linda Webb Carilli.
But professor Kelly Brownell, director of Yale University's Center for Eating and Weight disorders, said this was the type of eating people needed to watch.
"If it's a temporary phenomenon, it isn't bad. It's a way to cope. For people who consistently use food to deal with stress, it's maladaptive," he said.
Brownell recommended exercise, reading a book or spending time with family.

Editor leaves Philadelphia Inquirer
Walker Lundy, editor of Knight Ridder's Saint Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press, has been named as Rosenthal's replacement.
In a memo to staff, he added: "Rather than let discussions about The Inquirer's future grow rancorous, I hope my departure leads to The Inquirer becoming
PHILADELPHIA — Robert J. Rosenthal, editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer, resigned yesterday amid staff cutbacks ordered by owner Knight Ridder and disagreements about how to attract readers.
"There was a difference of opinion on some strategies," Rosenthal said in a story posted on the Inquirer's Web site. "It became harder and harder for me to be able to do what I do best, and it became time for a new leader."
Rosenthal's office referred all calls to Robert J. Hall, publisher and chairman of Philadelphia Newspapers Inc., parent company of the Inquirer and Daily News. Hall did not immediately return a call for comment.
Rosenthal will be replaced by Lundy, who has been with the Minnesota paper for 11 years, said Harold Higgins, publisher of the Saint Paul newspaper.
an even better newspaper, one that its readers and our community value even more. I am not angry or bitter. I wish all of you the best. It's been a great ride."
Rosenthal became editor and executive vice president of PN1 in January 1998. Previously, he had been foreign editor and city editor before moving up to assistant and associate managing editor.
"Walker is a great guy and he will do very well there," Higgins said.
He spent eight years as a reporter, including four as the Inquirer's Africa correspondent.
Rosenthal's tenure was marked by decreasing circulation and staff reductions. Under the most recent of buyouts mandated by Knight Ridder, the newsroom staff was reduced from about 580 to 530 people.
The Inquirer's circulation declined by 8.8 percent, to 365,154, for the six months that ended Sept. 30, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
As the newspaper grappled with declines in advertising last summer, William "Butch" Ward accepted a buyout as the Inquirer's managing editor. The announcement of that move came days after Knight Ridder said it was cutting 1,700 jobs companywide.
Hospital opens after anthrax death
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The hospital that employed the city's only anthrax fatality reopened yesterday, the day after the victim was buried.
The Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, which is almost exclusively an outpatient facility, closed a week ago after inhalation anthrax was diagnosed in Kathy Nguyen, 61. She died Nov. 1, and the circumstances of her exposure to anthrax have not been discovered.
At the building's reopening yesterday, hospital officials, along with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, said the hospital was safe.
"People should have no concern about coming here." Giuliani said.
The hospital is "one of the safest places in New York City if not the safest," said Dennis Rivera, head of the hospital workers' union. "This hospital is completely clean of anthrax."
Completely Because Nguyen worked in the basement supply room near a mailroom, the building was extensively sampled for anthrax. All tests came back negative.
More than 1,000 people — employees, patients and visitors — who might have been exposed took antibiotics for several days until the building on East 64th Street was given a clean bill of health.
officials said.
Medical officials said they were investigating the possibility that Nguyen had a second job in a restaurant.
No one else has shown symptoms and city Health Commissioner Neal Cohen said he was confident that officials had not overlooked any cases.
Some workers said they were ready to be back at work.
"We hope to be back to normal. We hope the patients come," said Lorraine Pearson, a hospital receptionist, "I feel safe."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which uses a stricter standard for counting cases, has confirmed four skin anthrax cases in the city and Nguyen's inhalation anthrax.

Michelle continues to wreak havoc
The Associated Press
HAVANA — Hurricane Michelle destroyed at least 2,000 homes and damaged another 8,000 in central Cuba, officials said yesterday as they began totaling the damage from the weekend storm that killed five people nationwide.
Half of Cuba was blacked out for a second night, and millions of residents remained without power, gas or water. The government was working to rebuild the telecommunications network.
Civil defense officials said the first tallies of destroyed homes came from Matanzas province, which was worst hit by Sunday's storm.
"We were rebuilding the house," Jose Ramon Pedrozo said quietly as he tried to rescue a few wooden planks that once formed part of his modest home in Solis Viejo, a small town in Matanzas. "Now we're going to start all over."
The hurricane, which killed 12 people in Honduras, Nicaragua and Jamaica last week, lost some strength as it moved off Cuba, and it left Florida virtually untouched. Authorities had ordered the Florida Keys evacuated.
Michelle swept past the Bahamas capital of Nassau on Monday with 85 mph winds, flooding houses and cutting power. At 10 a.m. EST, the storm was centered about 400 miles southwest of Bermuda and was barely a hurricane with winds of 74 mph.
In Cuba, damages to telephone lines and microwave antennae that provide national long-distance service snarled communications between Havana and outlying regions.
Outgoing international telephone service was restored before dawn Monday, but callers outside the country reported they were unable to call loved ones on the island.

"I'm very worried because we don't know what happened to them," Isabel Nunez, 55, of Elizabeth, N.J., said of her relatives in Cuba.
Although the power was shut off to prevent accidents during the storm, the government said extensive repairs must be made before it can be safely restored.
When the storm made landfall on Cuba's southern coast, its winds were estimated at 130 mph. Michelle caused at least 23 homes to collapse in Havana, on the northern shore, state television reported — and more were expected to crumble as they dried out in the sun.
Concorde returns to flight after grounding
The Associated Press
PARIS — When the Concorde takes off from Paris today on its first passenger flight in more than 15 months, it will mark the rebirth of the world's highest-profile commercial aircraft—and a small triumph for an industry wounded by the events of Sept. 11.
After months of redesigning and test flights, engineers say they have fixed the flaws that led to the fiery crash of July 25, 2000. The flight path has been changed to avoid the town of Gonnees, where the supersonic jet plunged to the earth, killing 113 people.
Air France will be the first to fly its newly remodeled Concorde, on a sold-out Paris-New York flight leaving at 10:30 a.m. An hour later, British Airways will operate an invitation-only flight from London; its fare-paying flights to New York resume Friday.
New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has welcomed the Concorde's comeback, saying its return is "symbolic of how all New Yorkers feel about rebuilding this great city."
In a third Concorde flight today, British Prime Minister Tony Blair will take a special plane to Washington to meet with President Bush.
President The new Concordo has been fitted with bulletproof fuel-tank liners, a flameproof reinforced undercarriage and newly designed, extra-resistant radial tires.
But as important as the engineering changes, aviation analysts say, is the symbolism of the Concorde, the world's only supersonic jetliner, reclaiming the skies.
"One of the icons of the civil aviation industry is returning," said Chris Yates, aviation safety editor at Jane's Transport in London. "It's the shot in the arm that the industry needs."
It's also a boon for the executives and the rich and famous for whom time is more important than money. A roundtrip Paris-New York ticket costs $7,300 while a London-New York roundtrip runs $10,000.
roundtrip class." said Eric Pelletier, vice president for Booz Allen Hamilton in Paris, who has flown the Concorde 40 times. "It's not something you do because it's enjoyable."
British Airways is investing $20 million to redecorate cabin interiors and Concorde lounges. On Air France, fresh lobster and petits fours will be served. But fine silver has been traded in for plastic cutlery - a safety feature following the Sept. 11 attacks.
Flying above turbulence at twice the speed of sound, the delta-
winged aircraft crosses the Atlantic in about 31 1/2 hours — half the flying time of conventional jets.
Despite a 30 percent drop in trans-Atlantic travel since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, the airlines say they are confident of filling the 100-seat planes. British Airways says it has already sold 7,000 seats.
However, service is being scaled back from what it was before the crash. Air France will run five round-trip flights per week and British Airways will run six, about half the previous schedule.
han the previous senator.
Investigators are expected to make their report on the cause of the crash public by early next year. Officials have theorized that as the plane raced down the runway, it hit a metal strip that ruptured a tire and sent debris hurling toward a fuel tank, triggering a fire and a fuel leak.

Slump Hits Hard At White-Collar Jobs
white-collar workers, among the biggest winners of the 1990s boom, are feeling an unusually heavy share of the pain now that the economy is slowing.
During the past year, the nation's pool of unemployed managers and professionals has swelled 65% to 1.2 million. A former software manager who was laid off twice says he has gone from Plan A to Plan B to Plan C, and is now on Plan E: delivering pizzas for one-tenth his former salary.
Employment held up surprisingly well in the early stages of the slowdown. But last week, the Labor Department reported that the jobless rate leapt half a percentage point in October to 5.4%, up from a low of 3.9% 13 months earlier. Service industries, usually less volatile than manufacturing, were especially hard hit as companies realized they had hired too many people in the late stages of the recent boom.
The unemployment report erased almost any doubt that the country is in recession, which could jolt politicians in Washington to move more quickly on a package of measures to stimulate the economy and aid jobless workers.
With chicken outdoined pizza and burgers in fast-food sales growth, two of the top poultry players are vying for the bigger part of that wishbone.
Boston Market, KFC Heat Up Rivalry
©2001 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Boston Market, owned by McDonald's Corp., is remodeling all of its 680 stores and later this month will begin opening new restaurants for the first time in four years. The company plans to open as many as a half-dozen new stores in the U.S. by the end of the year and 40 more by the end of 2002.
The other big change is eliminating paper boxes and serving food on black plastic plates — similar to what Boston Market does. KFC's signature bucket, however, will remain.
KFC, a unit of Tricon Global Restaurants Inc., recently started a $200 million ad campaign and is giving its 5,300 U.S. stores a facelift. In September, it rolled out nationwide its "Hot and Fresh" program, in which it tosses chicken that has sat for more than 90 minutes. Before, some restaurants would fry batches of chicken and let it sit for several hours.
Corporate spending won't rescue Silicon Valley anytime soon.
For Tech Spending. A Bleak Outlook
Executives polled by CIO Magazine, which is aimed at chief information officers, expect their information-technology budgets to increase an average of 4.7% over the next 12 months. By comparison, poll respondents said their budgets had grown an average of 7.2% in the past 12 months.
Moreover, only 35% of the executives expect budgets to increase at all. Nearly one-quarter of the respondents expect budgets to shrink, while 39% expect budgets to remain flat.
The Bush administration announced plans to overhaul student visa procedures as part of its response to the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
Is Overhaul Needed On Student Visas?
In a recent presidential directive, the White House said it wants to "end the abuse of student visas," as well as to "prohibit certain international students from receiving education and training in sensitive areas."
But many education officials say some of what the White House wants

to accomplish already exists. The State Department, whose consular officers issue visas to prospective students, maintains a "technology alert list" that includes 16 sensitive fields of study. Students face careful scrutiny if they want to study in those fields.
"If you are from Pakistan or India, it's futile to try to come here and study nuclear engineering," says Terry Hartle, senior vice president for the American Council on Education, a Washington-based association of colleges and universities. "The State Department routinely denies those visas."
A Bond's Demise Could Spur Recovery
The Treasury Department halted sales of 50-year bonds, and financial markets reacted by sending long-term interest rates tumbling—something Alan Greenspan hadn't been able to achieve despite the Federal Reserve's many cuts in short-term rates.
With no new supply of 30-year bonds coming from Washington, investors scrambled to buy up the remaining securities, pushing up their prices—which pushes down interest rates.
The move also effectively forces investors to buy up shorter-term investments such as 10-year Treasury notes, which help determine mortgage rates, and corporate bonds. More buying demand means lower rates on these securities as well. And lower long-term rates could provide a powerful stimulus to the economy.
Magazines Rethink Flour Power
After years of using cornstarch-based products to help ink dry faster and reduce static cling, magazine publishers have a problem; Cornstarch is one of the many formerly inoffensive products now being regarded with dread in the wake of recent anthrax events.
Most publishers have told their printers to stop using cornstarch. "Before we sell a magazine, we have to convince consumers it's not going to kill them," says Thomas O. Ryder, chief executive of Reader's Digest Association Inc.

Selective Air Fare Cuts Tempt Few Fliers; Safety Measures Stall
have airlines cut fares enough to win travellers back to the skies? Not according to the latest passenger figures. So will the airlines slash prices even further? Probably not.
The sharp decline in demand for air travel after Sept. 11 has reversed a bit, but domestic flights still flew only $65%$ full in October, according to early estimates from the Air Transport Association, the U.S. industry’s trade group. That applies to flight schedules most carriers had already cut $20\%$.
By Wall Street Journal Staff Reporters
most carriers that have aircraft. Some carriers, including United, American and Continental Airlines, have introduced discounts of 25% to 50% on business fares in the weeks since the Sept. 11 attacks. But many of those discounts come with 10- to 21-day advance-purchase requirements, making them of little use to road warriors who don't like to plan that far in advance. In addition, many of the discounts are nonrefundable or require one- or two-night stays.

In leisure fares, consumers have been offered a hodgepodge of price reductions, many of which are no different from the ones offered before the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. Many of the discounts are scattered and somewhat difficult to find, as carriers ratchet up sophisticated yield management systems that selectively reduce fares in various markets.
Airlines say cutting business fares usually doesn't stimulate a lot of new demand, and much of the downturn is the product of the economic slowdown. "Until we see some uptick in the economy, we think we'll continue

Instead of bargain-basement prices, Continental and other airlines say they've offered corporations discounts and incentives. Continental has also sent executives to out meet with big corporate clients to reassure them on safety. "We are buying Chap Stick 55-gallon drums kissing everyone we know," Mr. Bethune said on an earnings conference call.
The financial carriage for the airlines is so bad that the industry could be headed for a major restructuring, with well-capitalized carriers already sizing up faltering rivals for their gates and facilities. Delta Air Lines Chief Executive Leo F. Mullin has suggested that government regulators will now have to lose their aversion to airline mergers. Airlines will have to address worsening problems with labor costs and the shortcomings of the hub-and-smoke system.
Many travelers are still too afraid
Frequent-flier mileage incentives have provided only small stimulus. Some travelers have cashed in miles out of skepticism, says David Stemler, president of the Air Travelers Association. "People have said, 'I'm going to use my miles before the airlines go out of business.'"
Including last week's grim results from United, the industry's third-quarter losses totaled $2.4 billion—after booking half of the government's $5 billion cash bailout, less taxes. Without that money, losses would have reached $4.2 billion.
"We're losing millions of dollars a day, and I don't see an end in sight," says Tom Horton, chief financial officer at American Airlines. "Costs have probably reached a level, at least in the near term, that is unsupportable."

Proposed safety measures either have barely moved past the discussion stage or are still many months away from becoming reality. So far the only security enhancement all the major airlines have completed is installing deadbolts and crossbars on cockpit doors. Other stronger measures, such as replacing the current flimsy partitions with bulletproof materials that can't be kicked in, have been undertaken by only a few, mostly small, carriers. The few changes implemented so far merely provide "a semblance of security that's not real," says Stephen Luckey, a retired Boeing 747 captain for Northwest Airlines who is chairman of the Air Line Pilots Association's national security committee. "We need to change that."
Some argue that in addition to better security, the industry needs sharply lower fares. Between New York and Miami, average leisure fares dropped 46% for the week ended Oct. 29, to $50 one way. But other fares dropped minimally, such as a 5% decrease.
cline in a Chicago-to-Orlando flight, to $104 one way.
to see lower business travel," says Continental Airlines Chairman and Chief Executive Gordon Bethune.
George Alcorn, a Houston business traveler, doesn't see much change in airline pricing at all. For a recent trip to Baltimore, Continental wanted $1,700 round trip, he says, which he considered "outrageous." He opted for Southwest Airlines on a $220 fare. Fewer business travelers are flying, he thinks, because of "high prices and increased restrictions."
Desperate though the airlines may be to hire travelers back to the skies, however, they are walking a collective tightrope. If they don't do something to stimulate traffic, they will continue to rack up mammoth financial losses. But discounting fares too deeply runs a risk of permanently devaluing air travel in consumers' minds and setting a mental price point that will outlast the current economic problems.
Setting Expectations
The airlines' reluctance to cut prices stems partly from their own fears, says David Newkirk, a senior vice president at consulting firm Boo-Zen Allen & Hamilton. Cruise ships have gone ahead and slashed fares as low as $299 for a seven-day cruise, he says. "The industry is just scared to death now that people will now think $299 is the price for a cruise."
Ads Pushing Cigarettes Create Stir
Issues of People magazine hitting newsstands this week contain a two-page advertising spread from Vector that touts the new cigarette, called Omni, with the slogan: "Reduced carcinogens. Premium Taste." The ad says that Omni was created to "significantly" cut levels of chemicals that are the "major causes of lung cancer" in smokers. "Now there's actually a reason to change brands," it says.
BV GORDON FAIRCLOUGH
Vector's strategy already is drawing fire from antismoking activists, public health experts and some of its larger rivals in the cigarette business, who say the ads are misleading. "Everything is designed to imply this cigarette is safer, with Vector having no proof whatsoever that this is the case," says Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, a Washington advocacy group. "That has the potential to cause serious harm to consumers."
Vector Tobacco Ltd. is about to become the first cigarette maker to market a potentially less hazardous smoke nation wide.
The whole notion of a less hazardous cigarette is controversial. Proponents say it would be wrong not to try to reduce the harm caused by smoking, which contributes to more than 400,000 deaths a year in the U.S. But some antitobacco activists worry that the newfanded cigarettes will discourage smokers from quitting and entice nonsmokers to light up.
The tobacco in the Omni cigarette is treated with a combination of chemicals, including palladium, a metal most commonly found in the catalytic converters of cars. Vector says that treatment, combined with a new, carbon-filled filter, has resulted in a cigarette that tastes as good as competitors' brands but has lower levels of a number of toxic and cancer-causing compounds.
Vector, owned by Vector Group Ltd. of Miami, the parent of discount-cigarette maker Liggett Group, acknowledges there is no scientific proof that these reductions will make its cigarettes any less dangerous than the average Marlboro or Camel.
In an open letter to be published in magazines and newspapers, Vector's chief executive, Bennett S. LeBow, writes that "there is no such thing as a safe cigarette, and we do not encourage anyone to smoke." But, he adds, "We strongly believe that if you do smoke, Omni is the best alternative."

Composer honored in London museum
The Associated Press
LONDON — The 18th-century house where George Frideric Handel composed Messiah and other great works has become the first museum in London devoted to a composer.
Restorers have converted the upper floors at 25 Brook Street in the smart Mayfair district to its condition when Handel lived there for 36 years until his death.
it is a tall, narrow house with a basement kitchen, a front and back room on each of three floors and garrets for the servants at the top. Fashionable Bond Street is close by, as is Claridge's hotel, Grosvenor Square and the United States embassy.
To get details of the building and fabrics right, the restorers worked from Handel's will, an inventory of his house after his death and other houses in Brook Street built at the same time. 1717 to 1726.
Beginning tomorrow, visitors
can wander through the main rooms of his house, which are quite small, and see where he composed operas, oratorios, concertos, the coronation anthems and music for the royal fireworks.
They can see Handel's bedroom, paintings, prints and memorabilia associated with him and his friends and more in the house next door. No. 23, where Jimi Hendrix lived in from 1968 to 1969. The Handel House Trust also acquired it for exhibition space and educational activities.
Stanley Sadie, editor of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, said he had the idea for the museum in 1959. But it was only a decade ago that he and his wife Julie Anne made the first moves to set up a trust and establish a museum in the house.
The museum project cost $7.4 million,paid for by more than 3,000 supporters,notably the National Lottery and the insurance company which owns the freehold.
Changes in TV program inspired by tragedy
The Associated Press
Billy Ray Cyrus recalls recording "SomeGaveAll"—his tribute to a Vietnam veteran—in January 1991 when "someone runs in the studio and says, 'The Gulf War just started. Turn on the TV.'"
Recently he was shooting an episode of his PAX-TV series Doc — an episode based on that song — when "somebody runs in and says, 'New York's just been attacked.'"
"We start watching this whole thing develop across the United States of America and pretty soon it's evident that thousands have given their all, that millions of hearts would be broken," Cyrus said.
The show — set to air at 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, Veterans Day — was written last summer. But the events of Sept. 11 produced new
heroes, and the network asked the show's co-creators, Dave and Gary Johnson, to expand it.
"We said, 'Yup,'" Dave Johnson says. "We put in another small story that dealt with a firefighter."
The show, which stars Cyrus as Dr. Clint Cassidy, is set in New York.
Mark Taylor plays Johnny, a cousin of Cassidy's neighbor Nate (Richard Leacock) who overslept and escaped the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, leaving him stricken with "survivor guilt."
Interviews with survivors of past wars, as well as the terrorist attacks, are woven into the program, along with an acoustic remake of "Some Gave All."
The 40-year-old Cyrus, who attends church with his family when he gets home to Tennessee, says the show's not preachy.

Despite bad rep,fat burners no real danger
AGUAR

From weight lifters to exercise junkies millions of Americans have turned to over-the-counter fat-burning supplements, such as Xenadrine and Hydroxicut, to lose fat and in shape.
Senior guard KC Hilgenkamp drives the lane against Houston Jaguar Anitra Davis. Hilgenkamp had nine points in Kansas' loss last night.
cut, to lose interest.
But reports of health problems associated with these supplements have prompted many doctors and pharmacists to advise patients against taking them.
to advise patients agree. Clinical trials show that fat-burning supplements often do lead to increased weight loss when paired with a healthy diet and exercise program. And reports of negative side effects are minuscule compared to the millions of people who take them.
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
In their attempt to save consumers from a potential health risk, people, such as Hy-Vee pharmacist Jeff Hodgson, are keeping consumers away from a proven aid in the battle against obesity.
milions of people who use But this hasn't stopped overreacting doctors and pharmacists from urging people to steer clear of fat-burning supplements.
"I tell people to change their eating and exercising habits instead of taking supplements," Hodgson says.
But why?
But why. The Food and Drug Administration received 140 reports of adverse events related to the use of fat-burning supplements between June 1, 1997 and March 31, 1999. The New England Journal of Medicine examined each report and concluded that just 43 of the incidents were likely caused by the supplements. Of those incidents deemed supplement-related, there were four strokes, two heart attacks, one seizure and three deaths.
Not exactly the type of numbers that warrant large amounts of negative criticism, especially considering that millions of Americans use these supplements every day.
Most of the hoopla centers around ephedra, an ingredient found in most fatburning supplements that increases blood pressure and heart rate and releases adrenaline that puts the body on full alert
A 1994 federal law left the Food and Drug Administration powerless to regulate supplements the way it does most over-the-counter and prescription drugs. As a result, fat burners that contain ephedra are not subjected to the same stringent clinical tests that other drugs must go through to earn FDA approval.
Hodgson says, "Its kind of dangerous to recommend a product that is not recommended by the FDA."
True, the FDA does not advocate the use of fat-burning supplements, but not because they pose a serious threat to most users. They simply haven't been tested enough to earn approval.
Critics, such as Hodgson, say the lack of FDA approval and documented reports of side effects should be enough evidence to convince consumers not to take fatburning supplements. But critics fail to take into account that most of the millions of supplement users nationwide experience no negative side effects whatsoever.
In a sense, Hodgson is right. Fat burners are dangerous and people have died while using them. But life, by nature, is dangerous. People, simply by daring to exist, assume a host of dangers that can be fatal.
assume a car from driving a car to simply turning on a light switch, people get hurt and die all the time. It's inevitable.
Fat-burning supplements simply provide an edge for people trying to improve their lives. A handful of reports citing possible side effects shouldn't keep people from taking them.

Kansas women lose to Jaguars

Jaquaras won 67-60.
"These kids before the game were very nervous, very nervous," Washington said.
The nerves were evident. After a sloppy beginning, the Jajhwaks trailed 36-21 at halftime. Kansas' starting five contributed only nine points in the first half, shooting 4 of 19 combined. Senior KC Hilgenkamp was held scoreless until early in the second half, finishing with nine points on 4 of 13 shooting.
"I thought we lost the ball game in the first half," Washington said. "We certainly didn't shoot very well. We shot a lot better in the second half, played defense better in the second half."
Kansas put together a run midway through the second half once its shooting warmed up. A short jump shot, followed by a steal and layup by Hilgenkamp, sparked the Kansas squad offensively. Freshmen Blair Waltz and Chelsey Thompson both hit short jumps and
senior Kristin Geoffroy scored, closing the gap to five points.
"I think it was a real good indication that they do have a lot of heart," Washington said of the run that her team put together. "They never stopped playing. I'm really pleased that they continued to fight."

Panel to use its expertise to find new football coach
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
Al Bohl made no secret Sunday that he wanted to quicken the process of finding former coach Terry Allen's permanent successor.
Step one for Kansas' first-year athletics director - find the right people to hire the right man.
Two days after firing his football coach, Bohl assembled a 16-person panel that will spearhead Kansas' football coach search committee. Bohl said finding the right fit was centered around not limiting his choices.
His melting pot of knowledge includes six former Kansas football players, three faculty members, a member of the rowing team, the Kansas track coach, an adviser to the Chancellor and a pair of Jayhawks boosters.
Several committee members could not be reached for comment, but the man responsible for the hiring and the firing spoke freely.
"This is a huge decision for the University," Bohl said yesterday. "It was important to have diversity on there, and it was critical to
rear good.
Former Kansas running back David Winbush and Kansas rower Amanda Leland were the two students named to the group. Winbush, who amassed 3,910 all-purpose yards at Kansas from 1997-2000, caught Bohl's attention with an impressive resume and keen football mind.
have two students on there. I feel that these people can do some real good."
"I asked a lot of people who was really David Winbush," Bohl said. "Having played here and having good ties with a program, he was a great choice."
he was a great Leland is a sophomore varsity rower from Stanford, Calif. Bohl was drawn to her because he and her father shared the same profession. After meeting her and observing her dedication, Bohl asked Leland if she wanted to be included.
Leland's father is the athletics director at Stanford.
"She's been in and around athletics her entire life. I saw that she was open to the challenge." Bohl said.
Another part of the panel is Kansas track coach Stanley Red-
pen.
Bohl said that rounding up the search committee followed a pattern familiar to him. Well-known Division I coaches Nick Saban of LSU and Gary Pinkel of Missouri were reeled in by Bohl while he led the athletics department at Toledo. Hill was baited by Bohl when he steered the athletics department at Frekno State.
wine. Bohl said many potential football recruits expressed an interest in running track in college. He is interested in luring lightning-fast wide receivers.
"Some of these kids want to do both—look at programs like Tennessee," Bohl said. "All of a sudden we got a couple of great wide receivers who can flat out run. I want coach Redwine and him to work together to make that happen."
Bohl is confident he can find the right man for Kansas. And he believes in the 16-people he hired to lead the way.
"Football has not done very well here," Bohl said. "We now have the right people in place to change that."

All-Stars to test Jayhawks in first game
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Twenty practices was enough for Roy Williams. The Kansas men's basketball coach wants his team, especially his newcomers, to perform in a game.
As of Monday, Williams said the team had not upset him throughout its preseason practices.
Tonight, his Jayhawks begin their season when they take on the EA Sports Central All-Stars at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.
need to find some things out.
One thing that Williams needs to find out is the fifth starter in his lineup. Williams wasn't sure who would join senior Jeff Boschee and juniors Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison and Drew Gooden in the starting lineup tonight. Collison said the starting lineup wouldn't matter yet, but that he had a general idea. Freshman guards Aaron Miles and Keith Langford came to mind.
"We've had 19 practices so far, 20 will be today, and only one has been awful." Williams said Monday at his weekly press conference. "The freshmen have been doing a good job of fitting in, and the upper-classmen are setting the tone. But I was just looking at the schedule and saw that we start in two weeks so we need to find some things out."
"I think you'll see a lot of experimenting with line-ups," Collison said. "Right now I'd say Aaron, Kirk, Jeff, me and Drew would start just because I think those are the guys who are playing the best. You could go with Keith instead of Aaron just to have more of a prototype 3-man, maybe get a few more rebounds."
prototype 3-man, may be grayhawk In addition to Miles and Langford, Williams also mentioned freshman forward Wayne Simien as a possible starter. Simien would start if Kansas wanted to match up against a team with a size advantage.

Allen's firing upsets Williams
Roy Williams spent much of his first weekly press conference on Monday answering questions on recently fired football coach Terry Allen.
"I thought he handled it very classy, very professionally," Williams said. "He has a deep love for Kansas and what this place has meant to him. I thought he handled a very, very difficult situation."
Williams was impressed with the way Allen accepted his fate on Sunday.
Williams was not, however pleased with the decision that sent Allen packing with three games left in the football season.
In August, Williams was part of a panel of college and high school
A. M. WOODS
Roy Williams
a panel of college and high school coaches and administrators, which attempted to pass a rule barring the firing of college head coaches in the middle of a season. After being a part of that panel, Williams said he couldn't agree with the decision.
Williams said he couldn't agree. "One of the things proposed that came out of it was the hope that no coaches would be dismissed during the season." Williams said. "So I'm disappointed. If I'm supposed to be a part of that then it means I would agree with that. So I'm disappointed. But I'm not the athletic director, I'm not the administration."
Allen finished with a 20-33 record at Kansas, and Williams said Allen's downfall may have been that he tried to play too many quality opponents recently.
Williams said Allen scheduled games, such as UCLA this year, to earn money for the athletics department.
Williams didn't limit his displeasure to Allen's situation. Charlie Weatherbie, former Naval Academy head football coach and father of current Kansas football backup quarterback Jonas Weatherbie, was also fired midseason this year.
"I'm also disappointed when I see the Naval Academy," Williams said. "If you're a coach, you're always going to have empathy for the guy in that spot because you always know it could be you next. It could be me just as well as it could be anyone else."

HOROSCOPES
today's Birthday (Nov. 7). Are you ready to take on more responsibility? Are you ready to have more money in your pocket? It seems these two things will be linked together for you this year. Amazingly, this may not require more work. Watch for your opportunity.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7. Love is more important than money, as everyone knows. But it's nice to have both. With the right person by your side, becoming fabulously wealthy is just a matter of work and imagination. Don't let everybody in on your plans.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5. You'll learn the rest of the story about something you recently heard. You thought it didn't sound right at first, and you were correct. This is one of the reasons you like to be slow to make judgments and take action.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6. It's still difficult to express exactly how you feel, but it's getting easier. Pay the bills and take care of business. Shop for bargains and fix up your place. Make a date for tomorrow night, for a home-cooked meal.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7. You're getting stronger, more confident and also more cautious. If you score, don't brag about it. You're entering a three-week phase when discretion is advised. You can tell the truth, but not unless you're asked. Don't lie, but don't volunteer information.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6. You're strong, but so is your opposition. You're forceful, dynamic and cute, but so are they. Don't hold back. Put on your best performance, and you'll steal the show!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6. It's gett-
ing easier for you to concentrate. That welcome
trend continues for almost three weeks. You'll
also find it easier to make choices. This will
come in handy when others try to pressure you
into doing what works for them. Resist their
demands unless things also work for you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6. Festivities need to be curtailed for a while. You're in a phase when you can make a lot of money. Now, make a plan and start working on it.
SPORTS
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. Serious decisions need to be made, with many points of view considered. Everyone feels strongly about this. Can you stay objective? Can you be led by reason, not emotion? Sure you can.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
Your resourcefulness will be paying off by now. Your frugality, too. You've been playing it safe, and now you know why. When the opportunity shows up, you can grab it.
LIVE

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6. Ask a friend to help you get a big job done, then split your earnings. Don't ask this friend to help for free. That wouldn't be fair. Besides, you'll save by paying cash instead of owing this person a favor.
Together
JUSTICE
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7. You're in the mood for a fight. Is everybody else being obnoxious, or do you just have a chip on your shoulder? Maybe it's a little of both. You're famous for your analytical skills. Make sure you get all the evidence before you attack.
Pisces(Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7. It'll soon be easier to express your opinions and make decisions. It will stop giving all points of view equal weight and choose one to support. The right choice will be obvious.

Hayes shows tough coaching approach
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
Things were relatively quiet on the Kansas football practice field yesterday, during Tom Hayes' first day in charge.
The normal chatter was one of the first things to go as the Jayhawks' new coach injected his no-nonsense personality into the practice routine.
"It was business-like and organized out there," said Leo Etienne, junior linebacker. "Not to say it wasn't organized when coach Allen was here, but you could just feel the organization, you know what you're going to do. You're going to do this at time and that at that time."
"It was a little quiet, but they were going fast, that's what I care about." said Hayes, who took the job of interim coach after coach Terry Allen was fired on Sunday. "If they're going fast and paying attention, that's what's important."
Hayes didn't make any drastic changes to the practice schedule, though he did make small alterations to the stretching and conditioning phases. The major change — according to the players — was attitude and intensity, something lacking under Allen.
Senior safety Jamarei Bryant said Allen's personality didn't command the same respect as Hayes'.
"A lot of people would say something back to (Allen) and mouth off to him — he'd never say nothing back," Bryant said. "You say that to coach Hayes and he's going to snap at you and get in your face and you're not going to do it again."
Offensive coordinator Rij Scherer said the change in personality might be what the struggling Jayhawks needed.
"Sometimes when you're in a rut, you need some changes, you need jump started," Scherer said. "When you're up on a plateau you need someone to push you off."
Overall, Hayes said his first day of practice was a success.
"It was fast tempo, it was a good preparation day," said Hayes, who worked for more than 30 years as an assistant at both the college and professional level before accepting the promotion on Sunday. "I felt like our players were concentrated on both sides of the ball."

both sides of the bar.
After practice, Hayes again showed he was in charge by ordering that the locker room be cleaned. The rule is long-standing, but one the Jayhawks have ignored for the most part.
"That's how he is." Bryant said. "It's his way or no way."

Huskers fit, upbeat ranked 2nd in nation

naskers about.
"I think we have the kind of makeup with this team that they would be able to get themselves ready to play a football game regardless of our situation," Solich said yesterday. "That's what has made them so enjoyable to coach."
It just so happens that the "situation" Solich refers to looks pretty good for Nebraska. With three more wins, the Huskers (10-0 overall, 6-0) will be Big 12 champions playing for the national title.
That's a lot of incentive for the Huskers, ranked No. 1 in the Bowl Championship Series ratings.
"They're 10-0 for a combination of reasons." Solich said. "One, they're a very talented, athletic group. Two, they prepare well and they've got goals that they want to reach and they've gone out to reach them."
Another big reason is their health. Defensive tackle Jason Lohr, who tore a knee ligament against Notre Dame in the third game, is the only starter to suffer a season-ending injury.
season-ending injury. "We are banged up some, but I think most teams would expect to be after playing ten football games. We have not had the crippling injuries that have sent guys out the entire season," Solich said.
Nebraska is at home Saturday against Kansas State (4-4, 2-4), a team that struggled until scoring 82 points in wins against Kansas and Iowa State during the last two weeks.

Lack of luster paces Sixers to 0-4
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Larry Brown couldn't turn to Allen Iverson and Eric Snow on the court, so he turned to them in the locker room after the 76ers remained winless.
Jalen Rose scored 26 points and Jermaine O'Neal added 22, leading the Indiana Pacers to an 87-77 victory against the Sixers last night in a rematch of an Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
Derrick Coleman scored 25 and Speedy Claxton had 23 for the injury-riddled Sixers, who were without Iverson, Snow, and Aaron McKie.
Philadelphia, which opened last season with a franchise-best 10 straight wins en route to the NBA Finals, is off to an 0-4 start.
76ERS
Brown, disappointed with his team's effort, lectured them after
the game, and then turned it
over to Snow and Iverson.
"We don't want to develop a losing mentality and that's what it's headed toward." Snow said.
Snow hopes his teammates aren't just waiting for him, Iverson and McKie to return.
"It's a team game. If they think that's the savior, they're in for a rude awakening." Snow said. "You can see there is not much excitement. We have to get our confidence up I don't think it's a situation where guys aren't trying. Maybe it's inexperience."
With Dikembe Mutombo on
the bench because of foul trouble, Indiana opened a 48-39 halftime lead. Mutombo got his third foul with 3:08 left in the first quarter and didn't return until the second half. The Pacers outscored the Sixers 32-20 with Mutombo on the bench.
The Sixers closed to 69-66 early in the fourth on six straight points by Coleman. A dunk and a short jumper by O'Neal made it 73-66, but Coleman answered with an alley-oop dunk from Claxton.
However, the Sixers were called for their second defensive three-second technical and Coleman got a technical for arguing. Rose made both free throws and Austin Crosher hit a jumper to give Indiana a 77-68 lead midway through the fourth.
Philadelphia didn't get closer than seven points the rest of the way.
Volleyball looks for road win
-
After victory against Mizzou,'Hawks are ready to take on Cyclones
By Steve Laurenzo
Kansan sportswriter
KANSAS
2
Riding the momentum of a weekend road win at Missouri, the Kansas volleyball team traveled last night to Ames, Iowa, to take on the 4-16 Iowa State Cyclones tonight at Hilton Coliseum.
The Jayhawks, who are 14-12, 4-11 in the Big 12 Conference, defeated the Cyclones on Sept. 19 and will look to do so again tonight against a Iowa squad that has a 1-14 record in the Big 12.
Coach Ray Bechard has a 2-1 record in Ames after defeating the Cyclones, 3-0, at Hilton last year. Iowa State leads the series, 26-32-1, but Kansas has won the last three matches.
Ashley Michaels, freshman middle blocker, tries to power a spike down against the double-block of Lindsey Morris, freshman outside hitter and Danielle McHenry, freshman outside hitter, as junior middle blocker Molly Scavuzzo prepares to dig.
"It's not always an easy place to play," Bechard said. "It's a big, big building. But, we'll get in there for an hour and work that out. We're hoping for a really good effort from our team."
The Jayhawks will be looking for back-to-back Big 12 road wins, a feat never accomplished by a jayhawk volleyball team.
Iowa State enters the match against Kansas having lost its last five matches. The Cyclones were swept in each of those contests, to add to the eight times they had been swept already this year.
been Cyclones' only Big 12 win this season came against Oklahoma, a team that defeated Kansas earlier in the season. Kansas took the second match this year with Oklahoma.
Bechard said Iowa State was a better team than its record showed.
"We're playing an Iowa State team that is much improved," Bechard said. "They've been extremely close in a lot of games, but they haven't finished in a lot of games. They're capable, and they probably feel like they're ripe to break through, but we feel like we're in the position to get
another road victory."
another roadblock. Junior outside hitter Mandi Harms leads Iowa State offensively with an average of three kills per game. Defensively, sophomore middle blockers Steph Suntken and Julie Mitchell each average better than one block per game.
Junior defensive specialist Jamie Morningstar said the attitude in the layhawk locker room was better after the Missouri win.
"That win against Missouri helped us and uplifted our spirit," Morningstar said. "It would be a great thing if we could put two together."
service aces per game. Kansas' 157 total service aces this season is second best in the Big 12. Sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome leads the team with an average of 0.38 aces per game.
average of Rome passed the 500 career kill mark against Missouri. Rome's 17 kills in the match put her at 514.
The Jayhawks are third in the Big 12 with an average of 1.77

Three Gold Glove records set
Rodriguez,Maddux and Alomar take the award home
The Associated Press
Texas Rangers catcher Ivan Rodriguez won his 10th straight Gold Glove award yesterday, tying his idol Johnny Bench for the most by a catcher.
"I can see him winning 12, 13, maybe as many as 14," said Bench, the former Cincinnati star and Hall of Famer. "I don't see why he would stop. He wants to be behind the plate. He thrives on it."
The only thing that might stop Rodriguez's streak is a position change. Wear and tear behind the plate has led some good-hitting catchers, like Bench, to switch positions to extend their careers.
Rodriguez joined Atlanta right-hander Gadmudx and
Cleveland second baseman Roberto Alomar as Gold Glove record-setters.
Maddux extended his National League record for pitches by winning his 12th straight Gold Glove. He trails only Jim Kaat, who won the award 16 times.
AlomarpassedformerChicago Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg with his 10th Gold Glove,the most for that position.
He was joined by Cleveland shortstop Omar Vizquel, who won for the ninth straight season. Vizquel trails Ozzie Smith, who took the award 13 times.
Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki and Mike Cameron earned two of the three American League outfield spots. Suzuki made only one error in his first major league season after coming over from Japan.
Torii Hunter of the Minnesota Twins filled out the AL outfield.
Mike Mussina, in his first season with the New York Yankees, was again chosen as the top pitcher in the American League. Mussina won four straight years from 1996 to 1999 before Texas' Kenny Rogers broke his streak last season.
Minnesota first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz and Oakland third baseman Eric Chavez round out the AL squad.
Atlanta's Andruw Jones won his fourth straight outfield award in the NL.
The St. Louis Cardinals had two winners, outfielder Jim Edmonds and second baseman Fernando Vina. Edmonds won his second NL award in a row, after winning three in the AL with Anaheim.
Vina took over from Cincinnati's Pokey Reese, who won the past two years.
Colorado also had two players make the team. First baseman Todd Hulton broke the run
of San Francisco's J.T. Snow, who won six consecutive.
Helton was joined by teammate Larry Walker, who completed the NL outfield.
Scott Rolen of the Philadelphia Phillies won for the third time second consecutive at third base.
"He is as good a third basemen as I've ever seen play the game," said Phillies manager Larry Bowa, who holds the NL career-best fielding percentage for a shortstop.
Houston catcher Brad Ausmus and Montreal shortstop Orlando Cabrera also were honored in the NL winners.
The awards are presented annually by Rawlings to the 18 best fielders at their positions nine in each league. Voting is done by managers and coaches, who can't select their own players.
Bruins beat Oilers in overtime game
NHL
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Brian Rolston scored 59 seconds into overtime, and Byron Dafoe made 20 saves to lead the Boston Bruins to 1-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers last night.
Rolstein took a pass from Sergei Samsonov, skated down the right side and put a wrist shot just inside the post to beat Edmonton goaltender Tommy Salo as Boston improved to 5-0-2 at home.
Oilers defenseman Eric Brewer went down on the ice in an attempt to block the shot, so Rolston had to reload and fired a perfect shot to the corner of the net.
Canucks 3, Blue Jackets 2
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Todd
Bertuzzi scored a goal and had an assist in his first game back from a 10-game suspension as Vancouver beat Columbus.
Dan Cloutier, who made 26 saves, and the Canucks weathered two late Columbus power plays after the Blue Jackets pulled within a goal. After Columbus pulled goaltender Marc Denis, the Blue Jackets had a 6-on-4 advantage for the final 1:08.
Islanders 3, Lightning 0
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Chris Osgood made 29 saves for his third shirt out, Michael Peca scored a short-handed goal and Shawn Bates scored one on a power play as New York beat Tampa Bay.
Brad Isbister scored an
empty-net goal with 1:35 remaining for the Islanders, who are 11-1-1-1. Last season, it took them until Dec. 29 to get to 11 wins, and until Jan. 13 to get their 12th.
Hurricanes2,Penguins2
RALEIGH, N.C. — Jeff O'Neill scored his team-leading 11th goal with 38.7 seconds left in regulation as Carolina rallied for a tie against Pittsburgh.
The Hurricanes trailed 2-0 heading into the third period and wasted a two-man advantage on the power play seconds in. But Shane Willis scored early in the third, and O'Neill beat Johan Hedberg on a rebound 10 seconds after the Hurricanes pulled goalie Arturs Irbe for an extra attacker.
Rangers 3, Wild 1
NEW YORK — Theo Fleury had a goal and an assist, and Mike Richter made 23 saves to lead New York over Minnesota.
Fleury's goal gave the Rangers a 3-1 lead at 15:47 of the third period. Fleury followed Mike York on a rush into the Minnesota zone and redirected York's pass past goalie Manny Fernandez.
The Wild pulled to 2-1 when Pascal Dupuis scored his first goal of the season at 11:14 of the third period.
It spoiled another shutout chance for Richter, who hasn't blanked an opponent since Feb. 26,1999,a 136-game span.

Szczerbiak shot 14-for-19,
although he was sitting with three
fouls for the entire third
quarter when the Timberwolves
made a decisive 24-5 run.
MINNEAPOLIS — Wally Szczerbiak tied his previous career-high of 28 by halftime and finished with 35 points as Minnesota remained undefeated.
Terrell Brandon scored eight points and Anthony Peeler had seven during the run. Brandon's jumper from the right corner gave Minnesota its biggest lead, 82-63.
Heat 87. SuperSonics 85, OT
MIAMI — Eddie Jones scored 25 points, including the game-winner with 1.7 seconds left in overtime, as the Heat overcame the absence of Alonzo Mourning because of food poisoning.
Jones scored five of his points in overtime to help the Heat snap a two-game losing streak and beat Seattle for only the sixth time in franchise history.
Payton led the Sonics with 24 points, and Baker added 20.
Buffaloes to head east for Cyclones matchup
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado will face one of the most exciting players in the Big 12 Conference when it travels to Iowa State on Saturday, Colorado coach Gary Barnett said yesterday.
Barnett said Cyclones quarterback Seneca Wallace was the best newcomer in the conference. Containing him will be 21st-ranked Colorado's main focus.
Colorado's man. The 6-foot-1, 184-pound junior is the league's second-leading player in total offense. He has thrown for 1,512 yards and seven scores. He has 386 yards on the ground.
Wallace is second in pass efficiency in the Big 12 (133.39).
Haywood, a 5-foot-11, 220 pound senior, has compiled the third-most rushing yards in the Big 12 with 849.
Starting quarterback Craig Ochs won't play Saturday because of an ankle injury. Barnett said the starter would be Bobby Pesavento, who led the Buffs (7-2, 5-1 in Big 12) to a 38-24 win over Missouri last week.
Tailback Cortlen Johnson will start against Iowa State (5-3, 3-3). Johnson was the Buffs' leading rusher last season.
Fate of 2 baseball franchises awaits commissioner decision
The Associated Press
ROSEMONT. Ill. — Baseball owners voted yesterday to eliminate two teams before the start of next season, but didn't specify which ones. They also said they wouldn't lock out players when the labor contract expires this week.
The Montreal Expos, Minnesota Twins and Florida Marlins were the teams recently mentioned as the likeliest candidates, while Oakland and Tampa Bay were discussed earlier this year.
This would be the first contraction by major league baseball since the National League shrank from 12 teams to eight following the 1899 season
Expos
No major league team has moved since the Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers in 1972.
"It makes no sense for major league baseball to be in markets that generate insufficient local revenues to justify the investment in the franchise," commissioner Bud Selig said.
"The teams to be contracted have a long record of failing to generate enough revenues to operate a viable major league franchise," he said.
Montreal is considered the front-runner to be cut. The Expos averaged just 7,648 fans per game at Olympic Stadium this year and no progress has been made toward a new ballpark. The team's owner, Jeffrey Loria, is a New York art dealer with few ties to Quebec.
Selig said all 50 major league teams will continue to sell season tickets for 2002, even though he thinks of them will not play.
"There are more than two candidates," he said. "We haven't picked the final teams.
"I'm not going to get into the numbers game," he said. "There were a lot of people in the game who were in favor of four-team contraction."
contractions. The move could set up a battle among cities to avoid being eliminated. Government assistance for new ballparks could get teams off the endangered list.
Selig said the possibility of moving teams has not been ruled out, but he added there currently aren't any acceptable cities to move to.
The action by the owners comes two days after the World Series culminated in Arizona's thrilling Game 7 victory over the New York Yankees, baseball's most-watched game in 10 years.
Owners of low-revenue markets complain that they can't compete with big spenders, like the Yankees and Diamondbacks, and the highrevenue teams don't want to give up any more money to revenue sharing.
sizing.
Asked if this was a sad day for baseball, Selig said, "Sad day after the Series we just had? I wouldn't say so. The human part of this equation is what bothers me most.
"As someone who ran a team on who a lot of people's livelihood and careers depended, I'd say it's a sad day. I worry a lot about that."
The union could become an obstacle to eliminating teams before the start of next season in fighting to protect the 80 major league roster spots on the two teams and the hundreds more in each minor league system.
Owners also said they wouldn't lock out players or freeze player signings when the collective bargaining agreement expires today.
Baseball has undergone eight work stoppages since 1972, including a 232-day strike that wiped out the 1994 World Series, and some owners are pressing for concessions from the players' association, which could trigger another stoppage.

brushstroke. The first major survey of Lichtenstein's work since his death in 1997. Brushstrokes: Four Decades, at the Mitchell-Innes and Nash gallery, focuses on the brushstroke technique in his paintings, drawings and sculptures.
For those who think of Lichtenstein primarily as a Pop artist whose cartoon images have become icons of the Pop Art movement, the exhibit offers an overview of his diverse body of work which borrows from many schools of art.
Lichtenstein produced approximately 4,500 works during his lifetime, the earliest dating from about 1940. He frequently revisited his own earlier paintings as well other renowned works when developing new images.
Landscape in Fog, part of his Chinese landscape series painted in 1996, combines the Benday dots found in many of his earlier cartoon images with a breezy, gray brushstroke spanning the center of the canvas. Here the dots — much in the
style of the French pointillists lend to a minimalist landscape, a broad departure from the brazen dots in his garish Pop Art images.
"I love the way that he deals with abstraction and the mood of tranquility," Lucy Mitchell-Innes said of the oil and magna landscape.
"It was more about emotion and feeling the hand of the artist," associate director Adrian Turner said of the early work. "With Pop Art, it became more about bringing the art back to the people."
people. The show, which opened Nov. 1 and runs through Jan. 12. is composed of some 40 works, including a few from the Roy Lichtenstein Estate and Foundation which are on public display for the first time.

Sophomore golfer becomes leader
By John Domoney Kansan sportswriter
"You can't start a fire without a spark," New Jersey-native Bruce Springsteen sang in Dancing in the Dark.
Fellow New Jersey native Tyler Hall is vying to start a fire under his golf game, and the sophomore golfer lit the spark at the Nelson-Stanford Invitational on Oct. 28. During the final round in Palo Alto, Calif., Hall played his way to a round of 67 enabling him to finish the tournament in a tie for second place.
"It's funny because after my ninth hole of the day I started to get it going," Hall said. "I lost track of where I stood during the final holes. It was kind of shocking because I didn't think my score would hold up for second place."
Hall has spent most of Kansas' fall schedule on the fringe of potential greatness, and he has taken over the second spot on the Jayhawks' starting five.
Not only does Hall have one of the
team's highest individual finishes of the year, he also has two of the team's lowest rounds. He carded a 67 in the second round of the Purina-Missouri Bluffs Classic on Oct. 8.
Head coach Ross Randall's ability to sign Hall out of high school in the summer of 1999 is as amazing as Hall's upside on the golf course.
When Randall was on the PGA Tour he had Larry Hall, Tyler's father, caddy for him in several events in Florida.
It came as a pleasant surprise for Randall when the elder Hall suggested Tyler as a candidate to join the Kansas golf program.
But Hall has had to wait his turn on the team, as he redshirted during his first year. Hall used that year to work on his game and prepare himself for the mental tests he would face in collegiate golf.
"It kind of gave me an insight into where I needed to get my game," Hall said. "I worked on my golf swing with Coach freshman year, getting my swing foundations solid."
son, Hall was determined to return to Lawrence this fall as one of the team's top performers.
"Last year I got into the loop a couple of times," Hall said. "I had a really strong summer, and I felt like my game was ready."
Randall said he liked Hall's hungry approach to the game, "The first year which he redshirted he was eager and anxious for it to end so he could get going," Randall said. "He's so excited about playing and competing."
As Kansas heads toward winter break before returning to action in Hawaii on Feb. 13 to15, Hall thinks he can win any tournament.
After seeing little action last sea
J. E.WILSON/KANSAN
"I feel like last week kind of opened doors in my mind," Hall said. "My game is good enough to compete with the top players in tournaments. I will gladly take second place but first place would be sweet."
I will do it.

Golf finishes tied for second in California
By John Domoney
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's golf team ended its fall campaign on a high note yesterday with a second-place tie at The Prestige at Palm Desert in Palm Desert, Calif.
Yesterday was a busy day at the Desert Willow Golf Resort as play
The Hawks shot a score of 849 which put them five shots behind champion Washington Huskies and even with Colorado.
began at 6:30 a.m. to complete Monday's second round, which was delayed by darkness, and the final round.
The Jayhawks stood in first place after Monday's first round score of 278 but faltered in the second round with a score of 290.
But play improved as Kansas rebounded in the final round to fire a combined 281.
"I'm very pleased that we finished second in the tournament today."
said Kansas coach Ross Randall. "I felt that all in all everyone had solid rounds, especially at the finish of those rounds."
Junior Chris Marshall came in strong with a 73 in the second round and then a four under par 68 in the final round to earn a 10th-place tie with fellow Jayhawk Travis Hurs*
Hurst didn't capitalize on his 64-shot opening round as he shot a six-over-par 78 in the second round followed up by a three-under-par 69 in
Randall said he was satisfied with yesterday's results and that he hoped Kansas could hit their peak during the spring schedule.
the final round, which was aided by birdies on four of the last five holes.
The Jayhawks take a long break before their next tournament, which will be Feb. 13 to 15 at the Taylor Made/Big Island Invitational in Waikoloa, Hawaii.

Students' reactions to Jordan mixed
By Ryan Greene Kansan sportswriter
Their opinions are varied, but University of Kansas students are talking about Michael Jordan's return to the NBA.
Jordan has averaged 22.25 points and 5.75 assists per game in the four games since his return, highlighted by a 31-point performance in 40 minutes against the Atlanta Hawks last week. The 38-year-old has been less dominant in his return thus far than he was during his previous two stints in the NBA, during which he led the Chicago Bulls to six championships.
Nonetheless, some fans resent Jordan's return to the limelight.
"I think it could have a negative in the sense that it draws attention away from players who deserve the recognition," Ballow said.
Jonah Ballow, Lone Tree, Colo., sophomore, has always enjoyed watching Jordan play basketball. But Ballow sees a downside to Jordan's comeback.
Ballow said he thought that recognition was being taken away from Orlando's Tracy McGrady and Los Angeles' Kobe Bryant, two
players who could frustrate Jordan on the floor. Ballow said he saw Jordan's impact improving the Wizards' record with about 15 to 20 additional wins this season. He doesn't predict that they will earn a playoff berth.
Karo Akpolo, Richmond Hills, Ga., sophomore, has a different take. He thought Jordan could improve the qual-
Michael Jordan
BOM.
"No coaches can mold them into men like he can," Aikpolo said.
Akpolo said he did not think that any other NBA player had the mental toughness or drive to intimidate Jordan on the court. Unlike Ballow, Akpolo said he could envision the Wizards winning an NBA title.

day one. Kansas begins exhibition play against the EA Sports All-Stars at 7 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse. Expect Williams to experiment with different lineups to see which players mesh together the best.
The key early in the season for Kansas will be the assimilation of four freshmen into a system that is built around a group of four Jayhawk veterans.
Hirten, Nick Coates Kansas' bench and possibly one starter will consist of the talented quartet of freshmen. All four newcomers, Aaron Miles, Michael Lee, Wayne Simien and Keith Langford, will be thrown into the Division I basketball fire from day one.

"The four freshmen have heart and like to be challenged," Williams said. "The best thing about the four freshmen is that they are very good learners. They've picked up on everv-

thing quicker than I could have expected."
While the freshmen will determine the quality of depth for the Jayhawks, the returning starters will lead this year's squad. Kansas aims to improve on its Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA tournament last year. Getting past the Sweet 16 is well within range this year, but Gooden said one thing would be the deciding factor.
factor:
"I think we'll have much better leadership this year," Gooden said. "Our leaders last year told us one thing but they weren't doing it. We're not going to be false role models. In other words, we're going to be out there doing what the coaches say. If the young guys aren't
doing it, we're going to make sure they do it."
Gooden, Collison and Hinrich all came to Lawrence in the same recruiting class two years ago and now form the foundation for Kansas.
Gooden led the Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding last season, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors from the media. Collison was named first-team All-Big 12 by the coaches last season, and Hinrich was named second-team All-Big 12 by the media.
Kansas finished last season second in the Big 12 with a 26-7 record overall and a 12-4 record in the conference. Both the Big 12 media and coaches voted Kansas first in their

preseason polls, and Gooden said he understood the high rankings. He said the time had come for the Jayhawks to live up to the predictions.
"Me, Nick and Kirk always thought we would cakewalk and win the Big 12," Gooden said.
"We saw so many Big 12 championship rings when we came here. The monkey might be off our back but we've still got things to do here," he said of the burden of getting past the Sweet 16.
Sweet 16 Kansas will rely on Boschee once again to hit the big three-pointer when needed. Boschee, who hit 38 percent of his career three-pointers, is on pace to have a chance at the Kansas all-time three-point field goals record.
The talk around the Jayhawk camp has focused mostly on the plans for a new offensive look this season. Former Jayhawks Eric Chenowith's and Kenny Gregory's graduation has left Kansas with no true centers or small forwards. Working with his current personnel, Williams figures to use a three-guard, two-forward look.

Drew Gooden, power forward, returns this season as Kansas' leading rebounder and scorer. CBS Sportsline rated him the top power forward in the country.
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Drew Gooden is already getting sick of answering questions.
Gooden, the leading returning rebounder and scorer for the Kansas men's basketball team, has spent the beginning of most of his interviews this preseason dodging the one inevitable question.
Reporters will ask asking, hoping Gooden will back down and give them an answer, but he won't comply.
"I don't even want to think about leaving school early until after the season." Gooden said.

Gooden averaged 15.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game and started 20 of the lavahaws' 28 games.
But he said he just wasn't ready at the time.
"I think year by year I'm getting better," Gooden said. "But what I did last year, the stats I put up, especially in the Kansas program, those stats were good enough to go.
"But that's not what I'm looking at. I'm looking at me as a person and trying to improve as the years
go by."
Gooden spent the summer working on his physique. The 6-10 forward bulked up in the weight room, improving his strength and gaining weight.
Kansas coach Roy Williams will be able to use Gooden in several capacities. An athletic big man, Gooden can play anywhere from the small forward spot to center.
Kansas could have the biggest front court in the country this season when Gooden shifts to small forward and plays alongside junior Nick Collison, senior Jeff Carey or freshman Wayne Simien.
Gooden and Collison, both AllBig 12 selections last year by the media and coaches, will see action at the same time this season for the first time.
Last year, Williams rotated the starting power forward position between Gooden and Collison.
between Junior Kirk Hinrich said Gooden and Collison would help the team when they were on the floor together, because they were so familiar with each other's game.
"It's almost weird how they always know where the other one is." Hinrich said. "They see things real well and recognize things so they can play off each other well."
Rated as the top power forward in the country by CBS Sportsline, Gooden might not be able to ignore the allure of the NBA draft this year.
But that's the farthest thing from his mind in what could be his final season as a Jayhawk.
"We want to win," Gooden said. "We want to win the Big 12, we want to win the Big 12 tourney, and we want to go far in the tournament."

KIRK HINRICH
Point guard stronger, more versatile than ever
By Ryan Malashock

Kirk Hinrich tossed the basketball off the backboard, jumped and spun halfway in midair and slammed the ball reverse-style through the basket.
During pregame warm-ups at this year's annual Late Night with Roy Williams intra-squad scrimmage, the Kansas players and coaches nonchalantly continued their warm-ups.
Meanwhile, the packed Allen Fieldhouse crowd oohed-and-aahed at Hinrich's improved leaping ability.
Hinrich's dunking skills were just one sign of his physical improvement since last season.
“Kirk is stronger and more explosive right now that I've ever seen him,” said Kansas coach Roy Williams. “He was the best conditioned athlete coming into the preseason by far. He worked extremely hard this summer.”

WAYNESIMIEN
Wayne Simien began attending Roy Williams' summer basketball camps when he was in the sixth grade. Growing up in Leavenworth, he always dreamed of playing for the Kansas basketball team.
Seven years after first stepping into Allen Fieldhouse, the freshman forward is getting ready to begin his career as a Jayhawk today.
Simien has wasted no time leaving an impression on his new teammates. Junior forward Drew Gooden said he couldn't believe how athletically and physically gifted the 6-foot-9, 250-pound Simien was when practice began.

"Wayne's been the most consistent out of the freshmen so far," Williams said. "His shoulder is back to full strength, and he's performed very well."
back to run strategy. Gooden, junior Nick Collison and senior Jeff Carey are the only frontcourt players returning that will be in the playing rotation this season.
This means the team will depend on Simien for quality minutes off the bench. His name has even been tossed around for the fifth starter spot if Williams wanted to go with a big lineup.

Freshman prepares to step up intensity
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams likes the ability and toughness of the freshmen class. He said they were used to winning and that they enjoyed
playing. Williams also said the freshmen had great character and would help the team defensively this year, especially freshman guard Michael Lee.
"He's a competitive kid, just like both kids from Jefferson are," Williams said referring to Lee's high school teammate Aaron Miles.
Lee averaged 19.7 points a game at Jefferson High School in Portland, Ore., and earned first-team All-State honors.
Williams said he expects some of the freshmen to play this year, but said that the freshmen would need a new intensity level and the biggest shock would be having to maintain it all season.

NICKCOLLISON
Forward ready to show confidence
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
After three summers of USA Basketball, junior for ward Nick Collison has it figured out.
"It's all about confidence," Collison said.
"It" refers to Collison's game and the emphasis he put on improving his play, especially on the perimeter, this summer.
USA Basketball gave Collison the opportunity to play against the best in college basketball every day in practice for a month. And winning the World Championship for Young Men in Saitama, Japan was an added bonus.
"It feels good to know you did what you set out to do," he said.

Collison said he felt he had more all-around skills this year. He's more comfortable with
ball-handling and shooting and is confident playing away from the basket and facing up.
"I've improved a lot but still need to prove it." Collison said.
Collison said he needs to be more of a leader this year, which may mean saying more and being more fired up. Although he doesn't show his emotions much. Collison insists he's fired up inside.
Coach Roy Williams compared Collison and teammate Drew Gooden to the former Jayhawk tandem of Jerod Haase and Jacque Vaughn. He said you couldn't mention one without the other.
"They both get on the floor and do things off-sively." Williams said.
Williams added that Collison and Gooden were definitely part of the team's strength and needed to be looked at every time down the court. Having two preseason Big 12 All-Conference players would make for some difficult match-ups.
some difficult match-ups. Last season Collison was named to the first team All-Big 12 team by the coaches. He is also one of 50 preseason candidates for the Wooden All-America team. Collison averaged 14 points and 6.7 rebounds per game last season and led the team with a 59.7 field goal percentage.

Boschee is taking no chances during his senior year because he knows everything he does is for the last time.
"it's do or die personally if I'm going to accomplish the goals I had when coming to KU." Boschee said.

Brett Ballard, who had no bids from Division I programs after high school, now plays guard for the University of Kansas. Beginning as a walk-on last season, he now averages 6.4-minutes per game.
Hard work, dedication help guard live out dreams on the court
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
Brett Ballard exemplifies the saying "Good things come to those who wait."
After completing his senior year of high school in Hutchinson, no Division I programs were knocking on Ballard's door.
So the senior guard decided to stay home and play for Hutchinson Community College, but he never lost sight of his dream.
After a successful two-year stint, Ballard came to Lawrence just looking for a chance.
Ballard made the Kansas basketball team last year as a walk-on, eventually earning a scholarship. He enters this year's campaign looking to contribute.

seems like a fantasy to Ballard.
"Never in my wildest dreams would I think that this is where I'd be," Ballard said. "Last year was great, especially getting to play. I'm really looking forward to this season."
Ballard began last season without seeing much playing time, but he earned a more prominent role on the team halfway through the season.
"Never in my wildest dreams would I think that this is where I'd be." Brett Ballard Senior guard
His hard work, defensive intensity and occasional threepoint shot forced coach Roy Williams to put Ballard on the floor.
Beginning with a 15-minute performance in Kansas' 92-69 victory against Tulsa on Dec. 16 last year, Ballard found himself in the Jayhawk rotation.
Ballard developed into a spot backup for Kansas junior point guard Kirk Hinrich and finished the season averaging 6.4 minutes-per game.
Despite his presence as just a role player last season.
Ballard could play a more prominent role for the Jayhawks this year. Ballard will compete for minutes with freshmen guards Aaron Miles, Michael Lee and Keith Langford, but Williams said Ballard would be needed at times.
"Brett has the ability to shoot the basketball," Williams said. "We've got to get him in the game sometime to let him do that, and yet we've got some other guys who can do some things as well."

Redshirt senior Jeff Carey will be relied upon this year for his leadership and experience.
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Jeff Carey doesn't stay out late partying anymore. He can't race up and down the basketball court like he used to. Take it easy on him; he's getting old.
Carey took a redshirt his freshman year at Kansas and is in his fifth season as a Jayhawk. He admitted that he just didn't have the energy anymore.
"I see all these freshmen here now, staying up late and hanging out," Carey said. "I just can't do that like I used to."
The 22-year-old Carey will finally get his chance to contribute this season after being a role player in the past. Carey averaged eight minutes per game last season but showed his talents during a five-game stretch when junior Drew Gooden was injured. In those games, Carey scored 4 points per game and averaged 18 minutes, proving he belonged on the floor.
With juniors Nick Collison and Drew Gooden and freshman Wayne Simien being the only other frontcourt
players this season. Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams will seek more quality minutes from Carey. His minutes should
increase, but his role should stay the same.
"He'll get more time this year," Williams said of Carey. "He's so fundamentally sound and does

all the little things right. He might not be able to score as well as Nick or Drew, but he plays great defense and plays so hard."
Williams said the freshmen could look at Carey's work ethic on and off the court as an example of how to succeed. Carey graduated last year and is working toward his master's degree in business. He plans to finish graduate school next August.

KEITH LANGFORD
Freshman exceeds expectations will help backcourt rebounding
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
Freshmen don't always meet Roy Williams' initial expectations. But that's not the case with Keith Langford.
Williams said Langford had been the biggest surprise in this year's freshman class.
"A lot of times you get recruits who are not quite as good as you think they are," the Kansas men's basketball coach said. "I think Keith's turned out to be a little better than I thought he was."
Williams is fortunate to even have Langford at Kansas. The 6-foot-4 guard/forward from Fort Worth, Texas, initially committed to the
University of Mississippi during the recruiting process. Luckily for Kansas, Langford backed out of his commitment and considered other schools. Kansas beat Oklahoma and Cincinnati in the recruiting battle for Langford.
Current players and Williams have compared Langford with former Jajawk swingman Kenny Gregory. The comparisons come from Langford's leaping ability and his tendency to take the ball to the basket.
"He gives us a little ability we haven't had to the extent that he has the ability to take the ball to the basket and make plays," Williams said. "I
see him the way Kenny could take it to the basket and make plays himself."
Langford burst onto the national scene before the school year began. Langford was named co-MVP of the Global Games in Dallas while playing for the bronze-medal-winning Team USA/Team Texas this summer.
Langford will be competing with a number of players for the fifth startling position. Williams said Langford would assist the team's back-court rebounding.
"The biggest key to me when we have a three-guard lineup is getting those guys to board," Williams said. "Keith does it more naturally than the other guys playing the three spot."

AARON MILES
Newcomer has Miles to go in career
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
Although he has yet to play his first game as a Jayhawk, some fans are already comparing freshman point guard Aaron Miles to former Jayhawk and NBA player Jacque Vaughn.
However, Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams said the situation with Miles was a little different than with Vaughn. When Vaughn came to Kansas there was no returning point guard, but junior Kirk Hinrich is still in the starting spot. Williams also said he expected Miles to be even better than Vaughn
Miles averaged 20 points, eight assists, six rebounds and four steals as a senior at Jefferson High in Portland, Ore. He was also named a McDonald's High School All-American, a Parade All-American, the Gatorade Player of the Year in Oregon, and he received the Morgan Wooten Award as the National Player of the Year in academics and athletics.
in time.
"If you asked Aaron he'd say it's good he has Kirk with him," Williams said.
Williams said that Miles was a leader in high school but that it would be hard to ask a freshman to step in and
be a leader immediately.
"I tell the freshmen to imagine the most intense high school game they ever played in and every day in practice at Kansas is 10 times more intense than that," Williams said.
Junior forward Drew Gooden said he had been impressed with the freshmen so far.
"It is almost amazing how fast some are picking up our defensive calls and offensive plays," Gooden said.
Williams said he believed that Miles could have comparisons to Vaughn by the end of his career, but

The new look will force several players to play new positions for the first time. Hinrich will slide to the shooting guard and small forward spot at times, while Gooden could see action at small forward.
"Just from the process of elimination it looks like we will be using three true guards as opposed to what we've been in the past," Williams said. "One way things could change is we'll be better ball handlers. We will
probably not be as good on the backboards."
The competition for the fifth starting position has been fierce early in the preseason, Williams said. The fifth starter will likely depend on the type of lineup Williams wants to go with or the type of team the Jayhawks are playing.
Williams named Miles, Langford, Simien, sophomore Bryant Nash and senior Brett Ballard as possible candidates for the spot.
Nash, Ballard, and Jeff Carew
will be the other main contributors for the Jayhawks. Nash may possess the most raw, athletic ability on the team and has improved his offense and leaping skills in the off season. Ballard is a sharp-shooting guard, and Carey is a do-it-all role player.
Though a strong offensive team last year, Kansas prided itself on defense. The Jayhawks led the nation in field-goal defense at 37.8 percent last season.
With the absence of key
rebounders Chenowith and Gregory, this year's frontcourt will need to pick up the slack on defense.
"Eric and Kenny averaged nearly 16 boards between them so me. Nick and Wayne are going to have to pick that up." Gooden said. "We can't let teams beat us on the boards. Me and Nick might have to average four more boards a game."

BRYANT NASH
Sophomore adjusting to playing on perimeter
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
Sophomore forward Bryant Nash is the only true small forward in the Kansas lineup. After playing his entire high school career in the post, Nash is working to adjust to playing on the perimeter.
"I'll have to be ready because I'll be one of the only three-men on the team." Nash said. "I'll work on ball handling, shooting, whatever it takes to be a three-man. "There's a lot of work ahead of me."
Coach Roy Williams has four returning starters from last season, but the battle for the fifth spot could get interesting. Nash has been mentioned as a possible fifth starter along with freshmen Aaron Miles and Keith Langford, and seniors Brett Ballard and Jeff Carev.
"We have four guys who return who started for us," Williamssaid. "I tried to start six one night on Senior Day, and they wouldn't let me. I know they won't let me start four. You've got to have somebody else step up and get that spot."

JEFFHAWKINS
'Plan B' could prove to be a good strategy
Throughout last year's recruiting process, Kansas City, Kan., native Jeff Hawkins was considered a plan 'B' recruit.
Meaning, Hawkins was a player Kansas would fall back on if other recruits didn't sign. When those recruits went elsewhere, Hawkins ended up here.
P
But from the looks of Hawkins so far this preseason, there's nothing plan 'B' about him.
Hawkins is redshirting his freshman season at Kansas and is on an academic scholarship. Next season, Hawkins will go on
an athletic scholarship and add depth to Kansas' back-court. The 5-foot-11 guard comes to Kansas after a successful high school career at Summer Academy in Kansas City. Hawkins averaged 19.6 points per game as a senior and was named firstteam All-State.
Jayhawk fans caught a glimpse of Hawkins during the annual Late Night with Roy Williams scrimmage. Hawkins scored two points in the Late Night scrimmage and displayed his quickness and ball handling ability.

Senior treasures season
Kansas men's basketball senior forward Chris Zerbe said he realized everything he did this year would be for the last time, and he wanted to cherish every moment.
"Everything is one step closer to the end of my career," Zerbe said. "I'll miss it once it's over."
Zerbe walked onto the team last season from Hutchinson Community College. Friend and teammate Brett Ballard came with Zerbe from Hutchinson.
Zerbe played in 16 games last season, scoring in 12 of them. He averaged just
under a point per minute played. He scored a career-high six points against Boise State last season.
He knows his role as a reserve and is ready if someone gets in foul trouble.
Zerbe said he was excited about this year's freshman class and said they were great athletes.
"Everyone's stronger and quicker this year," Zerbe said.

But Harrison said his worth to Kansas didn't consist of his game performances. He wants to be a mentor. Harrison wants to coach one day, and Kansas coach Roy Williams may find Harrison acting as another coach in practice this season.
"Last year, I did a lot of learning," Harrison said. "I feel like I've got the knowledge needed to be a leader in practice. I want to pass everything I know to the freshmen especially. I'll show them how to get through practice and give them pointers."

MISSOURI
Tigers ready for Rush's return
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
The Missouri men's basketball team finished last season 20-13 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Imagine how well the Tigers would have finished if they had a healthy Kareem Rush the entire season. The junior All-American candidate tore ligaments in his thumb on Feb. 5 and missed seven of Missouri's key big 12 games.
This year Rush is back, and he's healthier than ever.
Missouri coach Quin Snyder said Rush's absence hampered his team last season but noted that Rush had made strides toward avoiding the same fate this year.
"He put himself in the position with his body where he can withstand more because of what he has done in the off-season conditioning." Snyder said.
doting. Snyder led the Tigers with 21.1 points per game last season, but Snyder's looking forward to another aspect of Rush's game.
"He has started to take pride in
his defense," he said. "It matters to him and hurts him to get beat."
Senior guar d Clarence Gilbert, the Tigers' lone senior, picked
M
up the offensive slack when Rush was sidelined last year. Noted for his stellar long-distance shooting, Gilbert was fourth in the Big 12 in scoring last year with 16.5 points per game and led the conference with 3.19 three-pointers per game.
Gilbert said he wanted to be not only another offensive threat for the Tigers, but a team leader as well.
"I feel like my role is to let the younger guys know what Missouri basketball is all about," Gilbert said.
While Snyder said he saw the offense revolving around the guards and Rush, he said the front-court would play a larger-than-normal role for a Missouri team. Forwards Arthur Johnson and Travon Bryant significantly contributed to the Tigers as freshmen last season
Both players lost fat and added muscle this season, giving Missouri a quicker, stronger frontcourt.
In addition to Johnson and Bryant, junior college transfer Uche Okafor could see action. Okafor was a highly-rated prospect coming out of junior college last season, but the NCAA is investigating Okafor's eligibility and may not allow him to play. Despite Okafor's potential absence, Snyder still foresees a tough Tiger frontcourt.
bogger Tiger Missouri was voted second, behind Kansas, in both of the Big 12's preseason polls. But on paper, the Rush-led Tigers appear to match the Jayhawks at every position. Mark Jan. 28 and Mar. 3 as important dates. The Border War should be hostile this season.
"Missouri will be sensational," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "Kareem Rush had a fantastic year last year. He's a very unique player. He has such range and flexibility to take the ball in the lane."

This means coach Rick Barnes may fill the starting point-guard position with freshman recruit T.J. Ford. One of the highest-profile recruits in the history of Texas basketball, Ford has an abnormally narrow spinal column that could lead to serious injury, but he has put off surgery.

Barnes has high expectations for the Big 12 Conference as a whole.
Other key returners for Texas are sophomore center James Thomas, 7 points, 6.5 rebounds per game; sophomore forward Brian Boddicker, 5.7 points, 3.9 rebounds per game; and sophomore guard-forward Brandon Mouton, 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds per game.

Expectations rise for Texas Tech, Knight
Kansan sportswriter
"I always have expectations that don't vary much from one year to another," Knight said.

Knight was fired from Indiana University after being accused of several violations, including grabbing a student by the arm and cursing at him for disrespectfully referring to Knight by only his last name.
In his years at Indiana, Knight had the same expectations for each of his teams. He said they wouldn't change for this squad.
Bobby Knight may be the most controversial name on the list of recognizable Big 12 Conference coaches, but he's focused on putting problems at Indiana behind him and improving Texas Tech's squad

Tech may be adjusting to a new program. Only four of nine possible players who could return this year chose to stay and play for Knight. Ellis is the top returner, averaging of 14.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game last year. Two junior college transfers, Pawel Storozynski and Kasib Powell, will fill out the front line.
Junior Will Chavis, a junior college transfer from Panola Junior College in Texas, will likely back up sophomore Marcus Shropshire at point guard.
Knight said his team needed to improve its focus.

Junior college transfers may make Sooners stronger
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
For the second year in a row, Oklahoma coach Calvin Sampson has six new faces to work into the lineup. Three of those players are junior college transfers who will complement junior Hollis Price at the guard position.
Price led the team in assists, steals and minutes last season. Price tore his tricep in last year's NCAA tournament.
"My shot is getting a lot stronger, and it all seems to be going well," Price said. "I would say in a range of one to 10, I am at a level nine.
Joining Price in the backcourt will be Quannas White, Ebi Ere and Jason Detrick. White played with Price in
Ere averaged 25.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game last season at Barton County Community College in Kansas where he was a second-team All-American. He is the preseason choice for Big 12 Newcomer of the year.

"He's been a pleasant surprise,"
Sampson said. "He is a gym rat and loves to play."
Detrick averaged 23 points and 5.7 rebounds per game at Southwest Missouri State-West Plains last season where he was a firstteam All-American.
In addition to the wealth of talent on the perimeter, the Sooners could rotate five players in the post, led by senior forward Aaron McGhee.
"I had a really up and down season last year but this summer I worked really hard," McGhee said. "I know that this is my last year and I really want to finish strong."

Old and new players will help Cowboys' challenging season
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
The Oklahoma State Cowboys have plenty of players returning from a team that finished fifth in the Big 12 Conference a year ago, and the Cowboys have added some extra fire power.
OSU
Senior guard Maurice Baker is the leading returner this year, having
averaged 19.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game last season.
He's a preseason pick for the All Big 12 team and a major reason Oklahoma State is ranked 18th by the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll and picked to finish third behind
Kansas and Missouri in the Big 12.
"I'm just trying to help my team get some victories," Baker said.
Senior forward Fredrik Jonzen said Baker did that and more for the team.
"Maurice leads by example, and everyone else sees how confident he is out there on the court, which helps everyone else out there on the court," Jonzen said.
Jonzen averaged 15 points and
6.5 rebounds per game last season.
Oklahoma State added sophomore guard Aaron Hill, a transfer from Salt Lake City Community College, to the roster. Also eligible this year is sophomore forward Ivan McFarlin. Academically ineligible last season, McFarlin averaged 15.9 points, 14.9 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game as a senior at Wil-
Jowridge High School in Texas.
Coach Eddie Sutton has a bright outlook for his team but cautioned that the Big 12 would be competitive.
"Talent-wise we can be a good team," Sutton said. "No doubt with everyone returning, we're going to be a deeper club. The one concern for me is if we have the right chemistry."
Other key returners for Oklahoma State are junior guard Melvin Sanders, 8 points, 4.4 rebounds per game; junior guard Victor Williams, 11.5 points, 2.8 rebounds per game; and junior forward Andre Williams, 6.8 points, 7.7 rebounds per game.

Staying healthy key if team wants to end streak of losing seasons

Texas A&M lost sophomore starting center Andy Slocum to a season-ending shoulder injury last year. The Aggies also went without sophomore forward Tomas Ress, who took a medical redshirt. This year Slocum is back and Ress could also earn be one of the starting forwards.

cal teams in the Big 12. The added depth inside should also help junior guard Bernard King, who averaged 18 points and 4.8 assists per game last season, and sophomore forward Nick Anderson, who averaged 10.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.
"We have more than just
nernard this year," Watkins said. "He will have some help. I think he will be a better player this year because he does not have to do as much."
The Aggies need a consistent point guard, and the likely starter would be junior Michael Gardener, who averaged 13.4 points and 7.7 assists last season at Garden City Community College. Bradley Jackson, another junior college transfer from the College of Southern Idaho, could share time at the point

Brothers to lead Colorado attack
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Colorado senior guard D.J. Harrison torched the Kansas men's basketball team for 26 points last season on Jan. 22, but he might not be the most dangerous Harrison for this year's Buffalo 22.
That's because Harrison's brother David, a highly touted 7-
CU
foot freshman center and Big 12 freshman of the year candidate, will be on the team this season.
Colorado won the recruiting battle for the younger Harrison last year, but the older Harrison didn't play as big a role in the recruiting process as one would think.
"I really wanted him to go wherever he would be happy." D.J. Harrison said. "Me being at Colorado was an influence, but if he was playing somewhere else, I would cheer for him just as much."
DJ. Harrison said Colorado ended up being good for his brother. And coach Ricardo Patton said David Harrison had assimilated into Colorado's system quicker than he had expected.
"The first couple weeks of practice he's been really solid." Patton said. "Each day he's gotten a little bit better and been able to go a little bit longer."
Last season, the Buffaloes sprinted out to a 10-3 start and received votes in both national polls. But bad team chemistry tore the team apart during the Big 12 season, a problem that
won't affect this season's team,
said senior Nick Mohr.
"We've worked on building together as a team before school even started," Mohr said. "We wanted to get things started on the right foot. We've said the last two years that we had a good team, but it didn't happen."
That said, Colorado's team chemistry and fate rests with Mohr, the Harrisons and junior forward Stephane Pelle. Mohr, D.J. Harrison and Pelle are the three returning starters from last year's underachieving team, which finished ninth in the Big 12 with a 5-11 record. Pelle played center last season, and the addition of David Harrison will allow the 6-9 Pelle to shift back to his normal position of power forward.

'Cats to count on new players
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Three returning starters mixed in with a touted recruiting class of seven newcomers should translate into victories for the Kansas State basketball team. That is, if coach Jim Wooldridge can get all of those players to work together, which will be the initial goal for the second-year coach.
"I've never had a season where as many new players will be counted on, but
LAWRENCE AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTICS INC. 842-8665 910-337-4848 When Tue
they've exceeded what I thought." Woolridge said.
C
"But we've got a couple challenges. We must integrate those new players into our system, but get our returning guys to help teach the new players. We must
get everyone working together before we can start thinking about winning."
Leading the returning players will be senior point guard Larry Reid. Reid averaged 11.2 points per game and was named Big 12 Conference honorable mention a year ago. Reid will anchor the Wildcat offense once again and should be aided by K-State's newcomers.
"Larry has been a scoring guard throughout his career," Wooldridge said. "We don't want to take that away from him. We hope that by adding the players we did in the backcourt that we have improved our skill level and shooting ability. We hope the diversity in the backcourt will help Larry."
That diversity comes in the form of freshman guards Nick Williams and Marcus Hayes. Williams was rated one of the top
10 recruits in Texas last season, and Hayes was named first-team all-state in Florida.
While Wooldridge did add some guards in this recruiting class, he added most of the team's depth in the frontcourt.
Kansas State was third in the Big 12 in field-goal defense last season at 59.7 percent. That number could improve with the frontcourt additions.
Our depth will definitely help us in the beginning of the season and the end." Reid said. "We're trying to build a foundation on discipline and hard work. We're going to go out and give 100 percent every day."
coverted Returning starting forward Quentin Buchanan will be joined this year by freshmen Travis Canby, Marcelo Da Barrosa and Richard Nolan.

The Iowa State men's basketball team has won back-to-back Big 12 Conference season titles by relying on strong senior leadership. If the Cyclones plan on defending their title, Tyra Pearson must take on quite a challenge — he's the team's only senior.
Despite posting a combined 57-11 record in 1999 and 2000, Iowa State enters the 2001-

2002 season looking for respect. The Cyclones were voted sixth in both the Big 12 coaches and media preseason polls.
Pearson said he would be a leader, but he expected the team
to mature quickly.
to mature quickly.
The 6-foot-7 forward was effective as a reserve last season but was consistently plagued by foul trouble. Coach Larry Eustachy said Pearson was struggling with the same problems early in the preseason and would probably start the season as a reserve again. That doesn't mean the Cyclones won't eventually build their team around him later in the season.
"Tyray Pearson has struggled in practice and might not start, even though he probably will soon," Eustachy said. "He should be the force of our team before it is over, but right now we will start three sophomores and two freshmen. We are really looking forward to the challenge."
the challenge. Sullivan, the Cyclones' lone returning starter, and Power were
the only two contributing freshmen for Iowa State last season. Sullivan shot 45 percent from three-point range and averaged 11.4 points per game last season, and Power averaged 4.7 points per game off the bench.
Sullivan proved himself last season on Feb. 17 against Kansas in Iowa State's 79-71 victory. The 6-4 guard connected on 8 of his 11 shots and scored 22 points
Eustachy said Sullivan would need to carry the Cyclones at times this season.
“(Jake) did so many things well last season, but he must do more.” Eustachy said. “We could always count on him to hit a big shot. Now, he's going to have to play defense and run the point some.”

'Huskers start season in the red
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Nebraska's men's basketball team was predicted to finish last by the Big 12 Conference's coaches in their preseason poll.
The team lost four starting seniors, and 70 percent of last season's scoring and rebounding force went with them. Having a winning season with that kind of loss of experience will be difficult.
Cary Cochran, the team's only returning starter, as well as Brian Conklin, John Robinson and Wilson Thomas, who also plays for Nebraska's football team, are the only returning Cornhuskers who were in the normal playing rotation last season.
Yet Cochran doesn't see the season as a lost cause.
roster that can come in and step up and make us successful."
"We lost four good players off of last year's team, but we do have some talent on our roster that can compensate for that," Cochran said. "We do have players on our
Nebraska will need its newcomers to play quality minutes from the start. Dan Heimos, 6-foot-11 center, 6-4 guard Jake Muhleisen and 6-9 forward John Turek are the Cowhuskers who will receive the most playing time among the five-person
freshman class early in the season.
N
Turtles
Coach Barry Collier said the team would count on its freshmen to
learn Nebraska's system and contribute immediately. He said his group was ready to make the adjustment to Big 12 basketball.
"The main thing with each one of these players on our team is that we have an idea for basketball and how we want to play it, and we're looking for pieces that fit that philosophy." Collier said. "A plus for this group is they are
more accepting of what we want to do and how we want to do it.
Cochran's spot on the team has evolved from role player as a freshman to team leader as a senior. Three years ago, Cochran could be counted on to knock down one or two three-pointers for his few minutes off the bench.
Now the entire Cornhuskuser offense will revolve around Cochran. The 6-1 sharpshooter said he welcomed the new distinction, even if it was far different from his role as an 18-year-old.
"When I came to Nebraska I did not know what my role was," Cochran said. "My role has increased each year by having to do more on the court and take on more responsibility. My role now is to be more of a complete player and help the coaches with the game plan on the court."

BAYLOR
Young guns a weapon for Baylor
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
The Baylor Bears are expected to improve on their 11th-place finish in the Big 12 Conference last year, despite losing Terry Black and DeMarcus Minor, two of their best players.
Third-year coach Dave Bliss led Baylor to a NIT berth and a 19-2 record, the fourth-best

Bliss begins the season two wins away from 500 career victories.
record in school history. Baylor also managed wins against Kansas and Iowa State last season.
"If you get a team excited, then there's a chance that things can happen." Bliss said. "You need a
game where you overachieve, and the crowd gets a chance to run on the floor. It's important to have games like that."
Freshman forward Lawrence Roberts is expected to help outset the loss of Black. Roberts can play outside or near the basket. Joining Roberts in the frontcourt are senior forward Greg Davis and sophomore center R.T. Guinn. Both played for Bliss at New Mexico two years ago.
"We knew that following Coach Bliss, he could turn the program around," Davis said. "We expected to finish our careers on a good team, and we are expecting that this year."
Bliss said he looked forward to
having another former New Mexico player, senior guard Kevin Henry. Henry set the school single-season record for three-pointers (102) as a sophomore under Bliss at New Mexico.
Replacing Minor will be a tough task. Sophomore Matt Sayman will probably take charge in the backcourt. He will run the offense and but won't be expected to score nearly as much as Minor.
Although Baylor will have to find ways to overcome its losses. Bliss said he thought this team would be better because it wouldn't depend on two players.
"We are unbelievably inexperienced, but our talent level has increased." Bliss said.

New recruits bring hope to 'Huskers in coming season
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
the Nebraska Cornhuskers were picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 Conference preseason coaches poll, yet they still have two reasons to be optimistic this season — Keasha Cannon and Katie Robinette.
comer of the Year. Originally, Cannon signed with Nebraska out of high school. But because of academic reasons, she attended Penn Valley Community College in Kansas City, Mo., before transferring to Nebraska for her junior season.
She averaged 21 points and 12 rebounds at Penn Valley last year, and she is expected to be the Cobbuskers' starting point guard.
Senior forward/center
Cannon, a graduate of Washington High School in Kansas City, Kan.. was voted Big 12 New
Amanda Cleveland said she was looking forward to finally playing with Cannon.
"She brings something different to the table," Cleveland said. "She fits in well because she knows us. She loves to rebound and run the floor. She has a certain attitude and hunger."
N Huskers
Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford also welcomes having the preseason freshman of the year on his roster, Robinette, a 6-foot-2 forward from South Sioux City, Neb., averaged 19 points and 9.3 rebounds per game as a senior and led her team to three state titles in four years. She is expected to make an immediate impact for the Cornhuskers.
Nebraska, which finished 12-18 last year and 4-12 in the Big 12, failed to make the NCAA tournament for the first time in four years under Sanderford.
"I am really impressed with freshman Katie Robinette." Sanderford said. "She expects to win and plays with a certain amount of confidence."
However, 13 of his team's 18 losses came against teams that reached the tournament. Eleven of those losses came in games against conference opponents.
"It was frustrating because it was something that I had never been through," Sanderford said. "We've dedicated the off-season to getting faster and stronger. We're focused on developing mental toughness and resiliency to compete in the league."
One of the players who will add to the athleticism of the Nebraska team is sophomore Shannon Howell. The 5-10 guard from Los Angeles is the Cornhuskers' top returning scorer. She earned a starting point-guard role her freshman season. Sanderford plans on moving her to shooting guard for the 2001 season in an effort to improve her game.
"She has matured tremendously," he said. "I think she has the opportunity to be a very good player."

Cyclones to build on experience
IOWA STATE
Kansan sportswriter
Angie Welle is modest almost too modest for Iowa State women's basketball coach Bill Fennelly.
By Jessica Scott
Welle, Iowa State's 6-foot-4 senior center, is a member of the 2001-2002 Big 12 Conference
But Welle doesn't dwell on these accomplishments, she focuses on her weak spots.
Fennelly values his star player's character.
"Most kids will get out there and say, 'Well, I didn't get help,' but Angie will take the responsibility for not guarding a girl even if it is not her player," Fennelly said. "That is the type of person she is."
Women's Basketball Preseason Team and earned an Associated Press All-America third-team nomination last season.
"I think I am just going to have to play a lot better than I have in the past," she said. "My biggest weakness is making turnovers or
getting into foul trouble early. That is just something that I'm going to have to work at."
After finishing third in the Big 12 regular season standings, Iowa State captured its second consecutive Big 12 Tournament championship as Welle earned tournament MVP honors. The Cyclones advanced to the NCAA tournament as a second seed in the Midwest Region, where they defeated Howard University and Florida State en route to a Sweet 16 match against Vanderbilt. The Cyclones lost 84-65, but Welle
said that game did not rattle Iowa State's confidence.
One of the newcomers for the Cyclones is 6-1 forward Melanie Bremer, a transfer from Northeast Community College. The junior has been nagged by foot and finger injuries but hopes to assist Welle with scoring this season.
"I think Coach has developed a system and we are not going to change a whole lot," Welle said. "Right now I think we are looking great and the people we have brought in are adjusting well. We still have people returning and we are going to just keep the same process we have had."
The Cyclones begin their non-conference season against the Marquette Golden Eagles on Nov.17 in Milwaukee.

TEXAS TECH Red Raiders out to repeat past success on the court
By Eric Flaton Kansan sportswriter
Led by Marsha Sharp, its coach for 19 years, the Texas Tech women's basketball team took to the road hoping to build on a dominant performance last year.

After completing last season with a 25-7 record, Texas Tech fell 74-72 in the Sweet. 16
"I think it will toughen us pretty early," Sharp said. "Anytime you get away from Lubbock and have to rely on each other and have to grow up a little bit, I think it probably helps you some."
against Purdue last season.
Texas Tech sees its travels as a way to strengthen team spirit.
The team will start this season with four road games. The Red Raiders begin with a trip to Durham, N.C., on Sunday and face Duke before going on to Oregon and face Oregon State on Saturday, Nov. 24, and Oregon on Monday, Nov. 26.
The team will rely on sophomore Jia Perkins. Perkins was voted the team's most valuable player last season and was added to the NCAA Midearst Regional All-Tournament team. Perkins said she wanted to turn up the tempo this season.
Snap has a 459-141 record and has coached Texas Tech to 12 straight NCAA tournament appearances. As she leads the program into another year, Sharp said she thought her team would have to work together to compete in the Big 12.
"I think that we have a lot of new people that will provide a lot of depth on the bench." Perkins said. "That will let us run the floor more and tire out the other team."
"I think we have a good group." Sharp said. "I feel our chemistry will be an important part of how good we'll be."

KANSAS STATE
Young team ready for challenge
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas State Wildcats' 2-14 record in the Big 12 Conference last yearleave them one place to go-up.
Although the team compiled an overall record of 12-16 in 2001, coach Deb Patterson led the women's basketball team to its best start in three years as the Wildcats opened the season, 11-1. But things went downhill after New Year's, and the team lost eight straight Big 12 games.
"Each game is a tremendous challenge, but at the same time, that is the great thing about the Big 12," Patterson said. "There is no easy game and no easy way to get better. I am hopeful that we will — one day at a time and one step at a time — get better."
Kristin Rethman, a 5-foot-9 guard from Corning, is the only Wildcat with one year of experience. She averaged 11.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game last season and ranked seventh nationally in three-point field goal percentage.
C
"I have all the confidence in the world in the players we have right now in the gym," Rethman said. "They work hard and compete and play hard, and that is exciting."
Potential starters include freshmen Laurie Koehn and Kendra Wecker. Koehn, a 5-8 Hesston native, redshifted during the 2000-2001 season because of a preseason
foot injury. But her list of accomplishments is virtually endless — a four-time 2A Player of the Year, a two-time USA Today and Gatorade Kansas Player of the Year, and most importantly, the second all-time scorer in Kansas high school history, second only to Claffin native and WNBA player Jackie Stiles.
Wecker, a 5-11 forward from Marysville, was named Miss Kansas Basketball as a senior. Patterson described her as an all-around amazing athlete.
"I am extremely excited about the prospects for the upcoming season for Kansas State University." Patterson said. "We have significantly upgraded and we are anticipating a real drastic improvement."

BAYLOR
By Eric Flaton Kansan sportswriter
The Baylor Bears women's basketball team is returning after its most successful season in school history. The Lady Bears posted an overall record of 21-9 last year.
This year's squad returns its two leading scorers. Sheila Lambert and Danielle Crockrom will lead the Bears once again this season against the tough Biie 12 Conference.
"Sheila and Danielle can score, they can finish shots," said coach Kim Mukley-Robertson.
Lambert comes into the season after averaging 22.1 points per

BEARS
game last season. Crockrom finished just behind her counterpart with 21,2 points per game.
Lambert said the two players' respect for one another's games and ability to work in tandem propelled Baylor last year.
"She's my teammate and my friend so it's hard to talk about her." Lambert said of Crockrom. "I have never seen anyone handle the ball like her before."
But Mulkey-Robertson said she knew others would need to step up if Baylor planned to improve this year. The Bears will depend on seven freshmen, each of whom may see significant playing time.
"The biggest thing freshmen can do for the team quickly is work on the defensive end." Mulkey-Robertson said. "We're looking to make them quicker on the defensive end."

MISSOURI
Tigers hungry for Sweet16
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
M
In three seasons as the Missouri women's basketball coach, Cindy Stein has led her teams to two postseason appearances, as the Tigers made an impressive run last season in the NCAA tournament.
After Missouri defeated No. 24 Wisconsin and No. 4 Georgia, the Tigers' luck ran out during their Sweet 16 matchup against a talented Louisiana Tech team. Still, the Tigers' lone senior guard Natalie Bright, wants to take care of unfinished business this season.
"I think we will build off of our Sweet Sixteen appearance last year," Bright said. "We know what it takes to get there, and everybody wants to advance past the Sweet 16. It is
that hunger we have, and it is going to continue."
Bright, a native of Des Moines, Iowa, will be counted on to lead her young team. She averaged 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 42 percent from the floor. Missouri, which had two seniors drafted in the WNBA last season, will rely heavily on Bright and her shooting ability.
"We are really looking for Bright to do some things for us at the point guard position." Stein said.
Missouri will be one of the youngest teams in the Big 12 Conference.
"Nine of the 12 young ladies on our roster are freshmen or sophomores," Stein said. "We think we can challenge people, but we know that we will have to play at a high level."
Last season, the Tigers were picked to finish 8th in the Big 12 preseason coaches poll but ended in fifth while compiling a record of 22-10. Missouri is picked to finish 10th in the Big 12, above only Kansas and Texas A&M.

Longhorns toughen up for season
By Eric Flaton Kansan sportswriter
The versatile Texas Longhorns women's basketball team will try to keep teams guessing this season.
After falling to St. Mary's in the first round of last year's NCAA tournament, following a 20-12 finish, the Longhorns are looking to toughen up by playing Wisconsin Nov. 24 at the University of the Virgin Islands invitational tournament.

Texas will lean on depth in its inside and outside games.
"We can go big or small. I prefer to use depth to keep the pressure on and move the ball," said coach Jody Conradt.
any women's collegiate basketball coach in history, with an overall record of 766-248. Heading into her 24th season at Texas, Conradt has coached the Longhorns to a 494-186 record. She has led Texas to the NCAA tournament in 17 of the past 19 years. After last season, Conradt knew she needed to recruit players who could improve the team's field goal percentage.

"Our focus was to recruit shooters," Conradt said. "I
believe that the best way to be effective is with an inside-outside attack. This freshman class has size and versatility.
The team will turn to sophmore Stacy Stephens who was the first freshman in 20 years to lead the Longhorns in scoring and rebounding.
Stephens dominates in the paint for the Longhorns, averaging 11 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.
Texas will also depend on senior Kenya Larkin who was voted the team's most valuable player last season.

After almost a year of not being able to play basketball, freshman Brandi McGinest is eager for the 2001 season to begin.
"I broke my ankle last year so I've been through a lot of therapy this summer," McGinest said. "I was released in June to play basketball, so once they released me, I was on the court playing."
McGinest comes to Kansas from Long Beach, Calif., where she attended high school at Long Beach Poly. The 5-foot-10 forward averaged 11 points and 9 rebounds before breaking her ankle during her senior campaign.
"My goal is to bring intensity and play good defense — that's one of my main things, playing very hard defense," she said.
McGinest also runs the floor well and can score off the offensive boards. Head coach Marian Washington said she already had faith in McGinest's shooting ability.
Although only a freshman, McGinest said she thought she had a solid grasp of Kansas' approach.
"We need to work hard and be positive with each other." McGinest said. "We just need to try and work on the small things, and the small things are what's going to get us to

SHARONNESPENCER
Sophomore excited to join teammates on the court
By Eric Flaton Kansan sportswriter
Perhaps the player who is most eager for this season to begin is sophomore Sharonne Spencer. After tearing her anterior curcinate ligament during preseason practice last year, Spencer said she couldn't wait to get back on the court.
Spencer was also unable to compete her freshman season because she was academically ineligible according to NCAA
"It was very tough last year dealing with my knee problem and seeing my team go through a bad season," the 6-foot-2 forward said.

Kansas coach Marian Washington said she was looking forward to having Spencer in her arsenal, after Spencer's redshirt season.
"Sharonne has shown more comfortableness with her knee and there is no reason why she can't go full," Washington said. "She can be as tenacious as we were looking for her to be on the boards."
While Spencer spent last season encouraging her teammates, she plans to be part of the Jayhawks' turnaround this year.
Washington couldn't agree more.

VALERIE MIGICOVSKY
Canadian adds toughness
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
Valerie Migicovsky, a 6-foot-4 freshman forward, will add vigor inside the paint to the Kansas women's basketball team this season.
Migicovsky is from North Bay, Ontario, making her one of two international Jayhawks. The other is sophomore guard Leila Menguc, who is from Stockholm, Sweden.
Migicovsky helped her Algonquin Secondary High School squad capture the Silver National Championship in Canada during her senior season.
She said her aggressive
nature on the boards could help the Jayhawks' post game. After a summer of running and weight lifting, Migicovsky said she was ready to transition to college basketball.
Coach Marian Washington said Migicovsky's contributions to the Jayhawks would be her ability to play defense and to be a presence under the basket.
"We'll have to depend greatly on our ability to hit the boards I think even better than we did a year ago and find different ways to score,"
"I can run the floor well, so I think that will really help the team," she said.

Young talent will be key to success
By Eric Flaton Kansan sportswriter
BLAIR WALTZ
In the 2001-2002 season, the Kansas women's basketball team will have to rely on several young guns. One of these athletes is Blair Waltz, a 6-foot guard/forward from Blue Valley North high school in Leuwood.
The freshman led Blue Valley North to two state championships and as a senior, averaged 18 points, seven steals and five assists per game. Kansas coach Marian Washington said she would look to the young shooter to make up for the scoring power the Jayhawks lost to graduation.

"Blair is a competitor. I don't have to beg her to shoot the ball," Washington said of the newcomer. "We'll be working on developing her as a total player, being able to create off the dribble as well."
Waltz stayed in Lawrence last summer and practiced with the team.
She said she hoped her familiarity with winning would continue at Kansas. She said for the team to succeed, it would need a strong defensive game.

Oklahoma returns as Big 12 champs
By Eric Flaton Kansan sportswriter
Oklahoma comes into the 2001-2002 season as a team on a mission. The Sooners will it all in the Big 12 tournament last season and are favorites again this year. After finishing last season ranked seventh in the country, Oklahoma starts this year in the fifth spot.
"It is certainly an honor and it is nice to see that respect across the nation," said senior guard Stacey Dales.
The Sooners return with Dales, a Kodak All-American, All-Big junior forward Caton Hill and sen-

warrior guard LaNeishea Caufield, a defensive team All-American. Dales, a 6-foot guard from Brockville, Ontario, led the team in scoring last season. Caufield returns in her senior season as the school's all-time steals leader with 305. The triple threat is complete with junior forward Caton Hill. Hill led the team with 315 rebounds in her sophomore campaign.
"It is how you put those kids together and how those kids play together," said coach Sherri Coale. "We will not be the most talented team on the floor, but we could be the best."
Coale, who returns to Oklahoma for her sixth season, has brought in two Big 12 season titles and has gone to the Sweet 16 in both of the past two seasons. Coale earned the Women's Basketball Journal and Sports Illustrated coach of the year awards last season as her team finished 28-6.
The schedule will be challenging for the Sooners this season. The team faces ranked Purdue, Illinois and Connecticut teams. But Coale said her team didn't have to leave the Big 12 for good competition.
"It is awesome to compete in this league," Coale said. "I have never gone into postseason and felt unprepared a lot of that has to do with the Big 12 Conference."
This year's team will use last year's success as motivation going into the season, Dales said.

COLORADO
By Jessica Scott Kansas sportswriter
Colorado coach Ceal Barry left her familiar mountainous campus for three weeks this summer and traveled to Austria and Germany to coach the Big 12 Conference Women's Basketball All-Star team. The all-stars compiled a perfect 5-0 record against some talented international teams.
"We are really looking forward to the season," said Barry, who is
beginning her 18th year at Colorado. "I think will be really good for our team to get some games under our belt until we enter our regular season non-conference games and into the Big 12."
Barry hopes to repeat that success with the Buffaloes this year. She led her team to an overall 22-9 record last season, finishing fourth in the Big 12.

Nikki White is on a mission.
After Kansas' losing season last year, the senior center is determined to help the Jayhawks discover their winning ways once again.
"I don't think a lot of people expect us to do too much because we're such a young team." White said. "We really have a lot of confidence in ourselves and the seniors have all rededicated ourselfs this year to working hard and trying to help out the younger players. One of our main goals is to prove people wrong."
White, a first-year graduate student from Memphis, Tenn., who is playing in her fifth season, played in 25 of Kansas' 29 games last season. She finished the year averaging 5.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per game and was ranked 10th in the Big 12 in blocks per gage

Because of a recurring knee injury, White took a redshirt during her sophomore season, giving her

After graduating in May with a degree in psychology. White decided to return to the Jayhawk roster while attending graduate school. She rededicated herself to basketball and is eager to help Kansas this season.
"I decided to come back because I really think I can help this team, on and off the court," said White. "Since I decided to come back, I had to sit down and put things in perspective. One thing I really want to do and I've been working on is taking my game more outside and being able to shoot."
Coach Marian Washington said she had noticed the changes White had made in her game and was looking forward to seeing her work with her teammates.
"We're going to have to depend a great deal on Nikki White and Kristin Geoffroy," Washington said.

White is continuing to get her knee in shape, work on her outside game and most importantly, motivate her fellow players.
"Now I'm a fifth-year senior so I really need to step up and be a great leader for this team," she said.

The first celebrity that Keila Beachem ever met was former WNBA player Cynthia Cooper.
Their mutual love of basketball produced a strong bond. For the last two years, Beachem, a sophomore transfer to the Kansas women's basketball team, has been under the care of the former Houston Comets player.
Now at Kansas, after transferring from Angelina Junior College in Lukfin, Texas, Beachem has left her famous friend behind for a season as a forward on Naismith court.
After practicing in Phoenix during the
summer, Beachem hopes to compete for the starting power forward position. Even if she has to come off the bench, Beachem has one goal for the coming season — to win.
Coach Marian Washington said Beachem would likely be one of her more athletic players.
"She is quick and agile and has tremendous leaping ability." Washington said. Although Beachem has little playing experience. Washington said she thought Beachem had what it took to win.
"She will still be learning a lot this year, but she has a real passion for the game," Washington said.

The 5-foot-6 native of Stockholm, Sweden, played in 20 games last season and started twice for the Jayhawks.
The point guard position will have depth this season with returning sophomore guard Leila Mengüc.
"I would like to step up and get more playing time than last year," she said. "I will try to contribute in my own way."
Kansas coach
Menguc averaged 1.2 points per game and earned 13 assists last season.
Marian Washington said Mengüc's stats last season were slightly deceiving because of the large switch from the slower European game to the quick play of Division I basketball in U.S.
"Leila had to adjust from the international mentality to the U.S. pace." Washington said. "She worked very hard over this summer, and I'm looking forward to how well she'll do for us this season."
She said she would like to become more of a leader for her team and sees the Jayhawks doing good

K. C.HILGENKAMP
Senior guard integral in team's success
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
As one of just two returning starters, and the top returning scorer for the Kansas women's basketball team, senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp has found lofty expectations coming her way, especially from coach Marian Washington.
"She is one of the best one-two players in the country," Washington said. "She'll be one of our key shooters without question."
Last season,
Hilgenkamp started in
22 of 29 games, averaging
30.4 minutes per game. The Arlington,
Neb., native also averaged 7.6 points, 2.7 assists and 2.5 rebounds per game. She was Kansas' top three-point threat, making a blistering 41.3 percent of her shots from behind the arch last year.
Washington said she needed Hilgenkamp to make an even bigger contribution to her team this season if the Jayhawks were going to improve.
"We lost 11 games last year by 10 or fewer points, six by five or fewer points," Washington said. "I felt that if we would have gotten a little more scoring from players like K.C., we might have been able to turn a lot of those games around."
Those expectations should pose less of a problem for Hilgenkamp, as she feverishly worked on her game in the off season.
This summer Hilgenkamp spent three weeks playing in Austria and Germany as a member of the 2001 Big 12 Conference Women's Basketball All-Startteam, She averaged 11 assists, 8 rebounds and 1.6 points per game and helped her team, coached by
Colorado coach Ceal Barry, to a perfect 5-0 record.
"Going overseas was a great experience," Hilgenkamp said. "It gave me a chance to see other players and how they are on and off the court."
As for this season, Hilgenkamp will join her fellow seniors in a leadership role for the team.
"I think that this year is basically going to be all about hard work," Hilgenkamp said. "I think we have a lot of great people coming in, and the returning players know what we need to do to get the job done this year."

That role is not something Scott plans on shying away from.
"To win, that's my goal," Scott said. "Also to be a good leader. We're going to go as far as everyone is willing to go. It can't be just one person."

After a disappointing 12-17 season last year, the Kansas women's basketball team finds itself in an unfamiliar role — that of the underdog.
Kansas is picked to finish 11th in the Big 12 presseason poll. With the loss of players who contributed more than half of the scoring from last season, the Jayhawks
enter into a transitional period.

"We are a program that has always competed in the Top 25, but every once in a while you find yourself at that junction where you're kind of rebuilding and that's where we are at," said coach Marian Washington. "I feel like I am in a juncture in the program that I have not experienced in a long time, but we are reloading."
Senior guard Selena Scott hopes to heat up Kansas' offense this year after providing five points per game for the Jayhawks last year.
The Jayhawks will be led by a group of five seniors with only two returning starters: 5-foot-10 guard K.C. Hilgenkamp and 5-5 guard Selena Scott. Katie Hannon, a 6-2 guard/forward, adds depth to Kansas' roster while 6-6 center Kristin Geoffroy and 6-3 center Nikki White round out the senior class.

Pirate House stays afloat; landlord lets shows return
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
The tenants of the Pirate House, 14th and Kentucky streets, were told Sunday by their landlord that they could disregard an earlier agreement and have punk rock shows at the house again.
Dave Strano, one of the residents of the house, said the tenants would still have to be responsible for keeping the exterior of the house in good order, but they would be able to fly their pirate flag and display posters and signs in the windows of the house.

Senate funds partisan group
KU College Republicans first granted money with new Student Senate funding regulations
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
A new precedent was set for allocating money to political partisan groups during last night's full Student Senate meeting when the KU College Republicans received $382 — despite arguments from some senators.
The bill allocating money to the group
had been heard in the Student Rights Committee once, the Finance Committee twice, and in full Senate for a third time because of concerns that the group was not eligible for the money. However, Senate decided to hear the bill last night and voted in favor of giving money to the group.
Some senators did not want to grant money to the College Republicans because it would set a precedent that other political groups could receive money from Senate.
money from rebates Branden Bell, holdover senator, said the committee set up to determine whether the group was eligible for Senate money should have had more time to develop a
more detailed report on the situation.
"Now, any partisan political group that comes through has to get funding," Bell said. "Senate has given up essential power on what we can and cannot fund. Now, even speech that is against the University can be funded."
No other partisan group has requested money from Student Senate yet.
Adam Obley, Finance Committee chairman, said giving money to the group supported free speech in an academic environment.
"I think that ultimately it's in Student Senate's interest and the students' interest to support these groups," Obley said.
What happened: The KU College Republicans received $382 from Student Senate.
$362 from State
What it means: This is the first time Senate has granted money to a political group under a change to Senate's rules and regulations last semester.

Jawhawks outshine EA All-Stars
Freshmen Simien, Miles combine for 35 points in debut performance at Allen Fieldhouse
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
Wayne Simien turned last night's Kansas opener into his personal exhibition.
Simien, a forward and one of four freshmen debuting at Kansas, started the game on the bench but quickly stole the spotlight in Kansas' 98-77 exhibition victory against the EA Sports All-Stars. Simien scored 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds in only 19 minutes of action.
"He was a beast tonight for us," junior Drew Gooden said.
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams inserted Simien after seeing junior Nick Collison pick up his third foul in the first five minutes. Simien dominated play in the first half, scoring 14 points and bringing the Allen Fieldhouse crowd to its feet on several occasions. Simien threw down his first collegiate dunk off a quick touchpass from sophomore Bryant Nash. Simien then showed his strength by blocking EA Sports forward Marek Ondera's shot and wrestling the ball from him in midair.
Simien drew Williams' praise despite appearing lost at times in Kansas' set offense.
"The first five plays that we ran when Wayne Simien was in the game, he had no clue what we're doing." Williams said. "On three of them we're trying to get him the ball, and he's running around trying to buy popcorn. He might've had 100 tonight if he was doing what he was supposed to. But he showed why he's been the most consistent freshman in the preseason."
Freshman Aaron Miles started, but he played a supporting role to Simien, scoring 10 points.
Simien, scoring 10 points. Gooden, Collison and junior Kirk Hinrich joined Miles and Simien in posting double-figures scoring totals with 17, 12 and 11 points, respectively.
After coasting to a 50-35 halftime lead, the Jayhawks allowed EA Sports to creep back into the game in the second half.
With the score 61-54, Hinrich hit a three-pointer as the shot clock ticked down and sent the Jayhawks rolling on a 26-10 run that put the game out of reach with seven minutes to play.
"I'm satisfied in the fact that I know we were trying hard," Williams said. "But we weren't very crisp and we didn't execute. We've got to get a lot better."
Note: KU student Troy Gilmore, Arkansas City junior, won a radio call-in contest to suit up with the EA Sports All-Stars. Gilmore, a former junior college player at Cowley County Community College, which is south of Wichita, played the last minute of the game and recorded a rebound and assist.

Students discuss recycling with commissioners

Commissioners addressed topics ranging from curbside recycling pickup to tax abatements in the hour-long question-and-answer session.

Lower attendance causes $1 million state fair loss
HAYS — Attendance at this summer's Kansas State Fair was down nearly 20 percent, causing an estimated $1 million loss for the fair and fair vendors.
In response, the Kansas State Fair Board decided during meetings Tuesday and yesterday to eliminate free admission on the first Friday of the fair and approved other measures to improve its cash flow.
improve rescue measures Denny Stoecklein, assistant manager of the fair, attributed the sharp drop in attendance — almost 80,000 fewer people than last year — to concern about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a hepatitis outbreak in Reno County and natural gas explosions that hit Hutchinson in January.

Court rules damages excessive in Exxon spill
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The $5 billion in punitive damages awarded for the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill is excessive, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday.
An Anchorage, Alaska, jury had ordered the award against Exxon to thousands of commercial fisherman, Alaska natives, property owners and others harmed by the nation's worst oil spill.

to settle federal cases.
In its appeal, Exxon Mobil Corp. said the award was unwarranted, unfair and excessive by any legal or practical measure.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said some damages were justified to punish the company, but agreed that $5 billion — the largest punitive damage award in history at the time — was excessive and ordered that a smaller amount be determined.
The plaintiffs noted that the spill, which polluted Alaska's Prince William Sound with 11 million gallons of crude oil and smeared black goo across roughly 1,500 miles of coastline, had reduced their property values and damaged fishing and hunting grounds.
damaged fishing and killing the same jury also found recklessness by Exxon and the captain of the Valdez, Joseph Hazelwood, who caused the tanker to run aground on a charted reef. That finding of malfeasance made Exxon liable for punitive damages.
The plaintiffs had alleged that Hazelwood ran the ship aground while drunk and that Exxon knew he had a drinking problem but still left him in charge of tankers. Hazelwood, however, was acquitted in 1990 of operating the tanker while drunk.

The jury also awarded commercial fishermen $287 million to compensate them for economic losses as a result of the spill. Months after the court battle, U.S. District Judge Russell Holland upheld the verdicts.

FBI investigates security snafu

CHICAGO - A major security breach at O'Hare International Airport, where a passenger carried knives and a stun gun through a checkpoint, has prompted federal authorities to order background checks for eight private security workers.

"We want to know if they have any criminal convictions and if they are who they say they are," Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Corv said Tuesday.
One of the knives reported seized from the passenger was missing, the Chicago Sun- Times said yesterday.
Times said yesterday. Saturday's security breach at a United Airlines checkpoint at O'Hare came about two weeks after federal officials ordered new background checks of Argenbright Security Inc. employees at 13 airports nationwide, including O'Hare.
The company was put on probation last year for hiring people with criminal records to staff security checkpoints at Philadelphia International Airport.
It was unclear whether the company had begun the checks at O'Hare before Saturday. Atlanta-based Argenbright issued a statement
Tuesday saying seven of the eight employees had previously undergone fingerprint-based FBI background checks that revealed "no disqualifying crimes preventing their employment."

Convictions in the last 10 years for any of 35 crimes listed by the FAA would be disqualifying, Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Monique Bond said.
The Sun-Times reported yesterday that two knives seized during the initial screening disappeared, and one still had not turned up. The newspaper cited unnamed police sources saying Argenbright workers initially denied knowing about the knives, but that one worker turned in a knife on Monday.
United Airlines will not comment about the missing knives, spokeswoman Chris Nardella said. Argentbright officials did not immediately return phone calls yesterday. Local police and federal officials also did not respond to phone calls.

Federal officials said they would provide additional training to Argenbright employees at O'Hare and would assign plainclothes inspectors to monitor job performance at the checkpoints.
Shapely sperm demonstrates increased fertility for men
NATION
Shapely sperm is the best indicator of a man's fertility, according to a study that rewrites the standards for analyzing semen samples.
Current standards under- or overestimate many men's fertility, said the study, published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.
"Every treatment for infertility depends upon first establishing what's normal and abnormal," said Dr. David Guzick, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Rochester Medical Center. "Up until now, we've just been using guidelines without rigorously testing them."
Guzick and doctors at seven other universities studied sperm from the men in 765 infertile couples and 696 couples who had children.

Harvard genetic patent upheld by European officials
MUNICH, Germany — European officials upheld Harvard University's patent on a mouse genetically altered so that it predictably develops cancer, throwing out a complaint by Greenpeace and other groups.
The pan-European patent, granted in 1992, protects the "method of producing transgenic animals." Following a two-day hearing, Bernd Isert, head of the European Patent Office's appeals department, upheld the patient yesterday but said the wording should limit it to rodents. In its current form, the patent is too wide and oversteps ethical limits, he said.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent to the Harvard mouse in 1988, the first transgenic animal patent ever granted.
Environmental and animal rights groups, along with church organizations and individuals, sought to have the patent reversed, arguing that it violated the dignity of living beings.

Council to study stereotypes of Native-American mascot
By Leah Shaffer Special to the Kansan
Lunch time included more than devouring some food and a soda yesterday for several students and faculty members.
Cornel Pewwardy, assistant professor of teaching and leadership, and a dozen other students and faculty spent their lunch break in the Multicultural Resource Center discussing stereotypical Native-American mascots and their affect on children.
alect on children.
The Brown Bag lecture, "Indian Mascots: Dancing At Halftime In Kansas Schools," was sponsored by the center.
Pewwardy said the choice of whether to keep Native-American mascots in public schools was coming to the forefront in Kansas. He said the State Board of Education would assign the task of looking into the issue to the Education Equity Advisory Council.
The Council will make recommendations to the state board next year.
Pewewardy said some school districts that he advised were initially numb or angry at the prospect of changing their mascots. He said they usually called back after thinking about it.
Wichita North High School has refused to change its Redskins mascot, but Hiawatha High School, which used to have the Redskins as its mascot, changed to the Redhawks.
He said people have become indifferent to Native American stereotypes.
"I want these communities to think about how they are being stereotyped and where that stereotype comes from," Peewardy said.
Stereotypical images of mascot Indians were especially detrimental to the education of Native-American children, he said.
"Self-esteem has a lot to do with self image; if you shame a group with their image, they are not going to do well academically," he said.
During the lecture, Santos Nunez, program director for the Multicultural Resource Center, talked about working at a Boy Scout convention. At the convention, the Boy Scouts performed traditional dances, burned sage and held ceremonies that should be reserved for Native Americans.
She said that the boys thought they were honoring Native-American culture, but they missed the point. Contact Shaffer at 864-4810
KC tests detect no new anthrax spores
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Additional tests taken inside a contaminated Kansas City, Mo., postal facility turned up no new anthrax spores, the state's top health official said yesterday.
The 55 negative samples taken Tuesday at the underground Stamp Fulfillment Service center included swabs from the same trash bag where the initial spores were found last week, said Maureen Dempsey, the director of the state Department of Health and Senior Services.
Dempsey said the new results do not disprove the original finding of anthrax, confirmed last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Instead, they show the contamination at the center was extremely small, she said.
Officials are awaiting results from samples taken outside the facility and from tests by a private firm from inside the center. Dempsey said they are optimistic those results also will be negative.
No one has been found to be infected and officials stressed the public is in no danger. Still, 250 people who work at or recently visited the center were advised to continue taking antibiotics.
Cleanup at the facility began last night, said Gary Stone, manager of the center.
Tests were ordered as a precaution after two of 19 samples taken last week tested positive. The center had received mail from the contaminated Brentwood facility in Washington, D.C.

ANIMAL ATHLETES
Dear editor, Congratulations on the unbiased article about the issue of animal cruelty at rodeos. I would like to provide some additional information.
Dear editor,
Professionally sanctioned rodeos, such as the one held in Kansas City, Mo., must adhere to strict guidelines enforced by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Steve Hindi admits on his Web site that more than 5,000 rodeoes are held annually in the U.S., and only about 800 are sponsored by the PRCA. Most of the incidents that concern animal activists have occurred at unsanctioned events, or "black rodeoes," as they are sometimes called. Nobody is more committed to the proper care of animal athletes than professional rodeo cowboys and contract personnel.
Flank straps are lined with a thick fleece on the side that touches the animal, much like the cinch on a regular saddle. The use of a regulation flank strap makes the sores Hindi refers to virtually impossible. Many people have probably never seen a pair of spurs up close. The free-rolling rowels are not sharp, and in fact, PRCA rules specify that they must be dulled for competition. Electric cattle prods that are commonly used on ranches and in veterinary clinics to humanely herd animals serve the same purpose in professional rodeo.
purpose.
I urge people to remain informed and not be afraid to seek out accurate information. If rodeo officials are approached in a congenial matter, they are more than happy to answer questions or show interested parties the livestock and equipment used during competition. I fully support the right of animal welfare organizations to peacefully protest, and commend them for demanding the proper treatment of animals, which remains a top priority of the PRCA and its members.

TEACHER SALARIES
Dear editors,
Dear editors,
At last Wednesday's open forum, Chancellor Hemenway expressed sadness about the events of Sept. 11—an entirely appropriate choice. Unfortunately, he soon laid partial blame for KU's financial struggles on these events, an action both callous and cowardly. His point that the economy will suffer—and thus KU will suffer—because of the tragedy might be correct, but suggesting that KU is unable to adequately compensate teachers for their work because of the tragedy is another example of the responsibility-dodging that KU's administrators think they do so well.
PERSPECTIVE
institators think they Nobody is fooled. Anyone who remembers life at KU before Sept. 11, life before the economy showed signs of recession, life during "the longest peace time boom ever" knows that KU administrators don't value the work of teachers. The proof is in the numbers: Many KU GTAs earn half of what their colleagues at other schools earn for the same job, and that has been true for years. Chancellor Hemenway's effort to link KU's eternal cheapness with a national tragedy is ludicrous and insensitive; it is nothing more than an attempt—a new form of grave robbing—to use the suffering of others to excuse KU administration's own unethical behavior.

First Nation Peoples celebrate their experience of history
For most Americans, November signals the forthcoming time of food, family, frivolity and football. However, for those who have roots in this country that stretch back before 1492, November signals a time of reflection and recognition.
From the Choetaw Code Talkers of World War I and the Comanche and Navajo Code Talkers of World War II to their proportionately large representation in both World Wars, this group of people has done more for the survival of the American People as a whole than any other group. In fact, a vast amount of the foods we eat today can be traced to their influence.
Unfortunately, the origin of these and many other contributions to majority society aren't taught in our schools. Most of what is known by the American People about this group and its relation to America is isolated to stereotypical images and to a realm of conflict ingrained in our history books
These people - my people have been grouped under various names Native American, American Indian, Indigenous Peoples and most recently First Nations Peoples (following the lead of the Canadian Indigenous Peoples). While I cannot enlighten one as to which would be the politically correct term for this group, I can say that the Native group on this campus prefers the term First Nations Peoples.

And so, should you be inclined to enlighten yourself about the First Nations Peoples, a wealth of knowledge awaits at 23rd and Barker - Haskell Indian Nations University. Students there represent more than 150 tribes (out of more than 500 specific tribes or nations located across the United States). Many First Nations Peoples at Haskell would welcome the
chance to share their culture with you. In fact, you can even take a class at Haskell through the exchange program.
It has only been seven years since November has been designated National Native American Heritage Month, or as we at KU prefer to call it - First Nations Peoples Heritage Month. After more than 80 years of effort on the part of various individuals and organizations to acknowledge the original inhabitants of this country and their contributions, it has been a long time coming. While certainly I agree with those who maintain that the awareness needs to reach beyond just the month of November, I also realize the wisdom in the adage, "You gotta walk before you can run."
Perhaps you aren't ready to explore Haskell just yet. Come sit in on one of the activities planned at KU for First Nations Peoples Heritage Month. Come catch the presentation on Indian Education in America at 7 onight at the English Room in the Kansas Union

Perhaps you have wondered what the big fuss is all about regarding Haskell's stand on the Wetlands and their fight against the South Lawrence Trafficway. Well, sit in on the presentation by the Wetlands Preservation Organization at 8 p.m. next Thursday in the Kansas Union and they'll tell you.
If you want to see beauty in motion, come to the Kansas Union at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 20, and see various forms of Native dance. Or come hear the Native perspective from students of both Haskell and the University at a poetry reading at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 27, in the Union.
Come to one or come to all, whatever suits your fancy, but know that this is an open invitation to all. I hope to see you there.

PERSPECTIVE
Pathetic GTA salaries hinder attracting teachers
The trade journal of academic careers, The Chronicle of Higher Education, recently published the findings of a survey on graduate student teaching assistant compensation that confirms the notion that teaching assistants at the University of Kansas are woefully underpaid.
Under the headline "Stipends Are Key in Competition to Land Top Graduate Students" the Sept. 28 Chronicle noted that although choosing a program for graduate study is a complex process, adequate salaries are essential to attracting the best graduate students.
So how do the benefits for teaching assistants at the University of Kansas stack up against other institutions?
Kevin
Armitage
Guest columnist
opinionaksan.com
Commentary
For comparison purposes, the Chronicle's survey used the salary of English department teaching assistants. Citing that standard, the Chronicle found that in the humanities and social sciences a TA "can expect a stipend of $11,00 or $12,000.
In a word, they're pathetic.
Sadly, that level of compensation is mere fantasy at the University. The $9,161 listed as the beginning teaching assistant salary in the KU English department was the second to the lowest of the 45 schools listed in Chronicle.
Not only did teachers compensation at the University fall thousands of dollars short of elite schools, such as Stanford or Columbia, in expensive cities (Stanford pays English TAs $16,338,
Columbia $15,000), but KU salaries lag thousands of dollars behind those of other Big 12 schools.
Teaching assistants who mosey down to College Station, Texas, earn nearly $2,000 more for instructing Texas A&M undergraduates than do their Kansas counterparts.
At the University of Colorado, the mountains near campus are not the only things higher than Mt. Oread; Boulder TA salaries tower above at the University. Colorado pays its teaching assistants about $2,800 more than Kansas.
Even Iowa State doles out just under $13,000 to its teachers, beating out Kansas by nearly $4,000.
I could continue, but you get the point.
Clearly, poor salaries negatively affect teaching assistants, but do they
The administration likes to argue that the special qualities of Lawrence and the University compensate for the terribly low salaries, and it is true that the University has qualities that help draw many outstanding graduate students.
dents.
Yet, as the Chronicle points out, stipends are "key" to attracting the best graduate students. A unique setting can't always overcome salaries that remain thousands of dollars below market standards.
Indeed, it is a testament to the administration's lack of leadership on this issue that I must make the simple point that it is clearly in the best interests of undergraduates that the University consistently enroll the very best graduate students who, after all, teach about one-third of undergraduate courses. Yet how can that happen if the teaching assistantships offered by the University are thousands of dollars less than those of our peer institutions?
harm the overall academic mission of the University? Absolutely. Besides radically undervaluing undergraduate teaching, the University's pathetically low salaries inhibit the recruitment of the best graduate students and the retention of the best faculty.
Moreover, attracting excellent graduate students is essential to retaining top faculty whose research and teaching are inexorably tied to the quality of their graduate students.
Despite the obvious need to increase compensation for teaching assistants, the only organization at the University working toward that goal is the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition (GTAC). The coalition is engaged with the University administration in negotiations that will determine the salary and benefits of KU teaching assistants.
A substantial increase in teaching assistant compensation is thus not only the right thing to do, but will greatly benefit the core teaching and research mission of the University.
benefits of RC education In the era of $500 million fund-raising drives, it is incumbent on the administration to dedicate adequate monies to TA compensation. After all, that is what successful academic administrations do: find ways to fully support vital aspects of the University life.
Chancellor Hemenway should waste not time in signing a contract with GTAC that includes a substantial increase in benefits for TAs, thereby helping ensure that the University of Kansas remains a top quality teaching and research institution.

Volleyball team's win sets record
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
After defeating rival Missouri during the weekend, the team traveled to Ames, Iowa, to face the Iowa State Cyclones last night. The Jayhawks swept the Cyclones, 30-28, 30-18, 30-21 at Hilton Coliseum.
Iowa State played Kansas tough in the first game. The seesaw game ended with Kansas coming from behind. The Jayhawks were down 28-26 but battled back to win 30-28.
For the first time in school history, the Kansas volleyball team won back-to-back games on the road.
In game two, Kansas dominated Iowa State and carried that momentum into game three.
"It was a good effort this evening," coach Ray Bechard said. "Lindsay Morris really stepped up for us tonight and contributed a lot offensively. It's always great to get a win on the road."
Junior middle blocker Kylie Thomas and sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome each finished with 10 kills. Rome added 10 digs to complete the double-double.
Freshman outside hitter Lindsey Morris led the Jayhawks' attack with a career-high 13 kills. Morris, who has been reserve most of the season, went into the match averaging just 1.27 kills per game and 33 total kills for the season.
never allowing the Cyclones to get back into the match.
She also had three service aces.
"It feels good to win any two games in this league, let alone two on the road," Thomas said. "We really want to have a strong finish to the season, and the last two wins give us a good start."

Bohl tries coaxing a new coach

Al Bohl wasted no time contacting his old friend Pat Hill, The Fresno Bee reported yesterday.

as high as No. 10 in the national ratings. But it has cooled of late, dropping two of its last three games. The article also said Hill's name had surfaced as the potential coach at other Division I schools, and that Johnson anticipated that Hill would be contacted by many other schools.

The *Bee* reported that Bohl and Hill had spoken, but Hill was committed to honoring the contract extension he had signed before the beginning of this season. The five one-year contracts could be worth as much as $350,000 a year, depending on attendance, victories and bowl game appearances.

A great year for all Jayhawks,
except for one.
Final chance for LaFrentz to improve
The NBA season is under way and this could be a great year for former Kansas players now in the pros.
These are good times for Kansas alumni like Danny Manning, who's with a legitimate title contender in Dallas. Scott Pollard has the same chance this season with Sacramento. Paul Pierce's Celtics and Jacque Vaughn's Hawks are both on the rise and could reach the playoffs if their teams continue to improve. Greg Ostertag's Utah Jazz may have enough old guys to fill a bingo hall, but Utah still looks to have a solid shot as well.
That brings us to Raef LaFrentz, last and least on the list of Jayhawks with high hopes this year. The former Kansas All-American is frustrated for a number of reasons and needs to elevate his game like never before if he wants to make anything out of this season.
So, why is Raef singing the blues?
First off, LaFrentz plays on one of the worst teams in basketball — the Denver Nuggets. The team's best player, Antonio McDyess, is out with two knee injuries. And other than Nick Van Exel, the rest of the roster is filled with underachievers. Unfortunately for Raef, that includes him.
Secondly, as if having to play for the Nuggets isn't bad enough, LaFrentz plays for a coach who has been frustrated with him from the very beginning. Denver coach Dan Issel, after being unimpressed with LaFrentz's first three seasons, has the former third overall draft pick locked in his doghouse. Issel wanted Raef to be the center whom he could build his team around.
Instead, the coach has been often disappointed and has claimed that LaFrentz cannot be motivated.
The final and worst of all frustrations for LaFrentz came last week when the Nuggets let his Oct. 30 deadline pass without giving him a contract extension. The team says it wants him back, but Raef has seen little proof and will almost certainly test the free-agent market this summer.
LaFrentz has every right to be frustrated, but now that he's been around the league for a while and is finally healthy, it's time to put up or shut up.
He needs to build on a solid campaign last year, in which he averaged almost 13 points and eight boards a game. His surgically repaired knee is holding up well, so there's little reason why this shouldn't be his best year yet
Like it or not, LaFrentz has a good situation in Denver. With McDyess out, he should get more shots and post decent numbers that might turn into decent dollars at season's end.
Like him or not, Issel and the Nuggets need LaFrentz to have a big year. With McDyess likely out until February, Denver needs another scoring option to go with Van Exel. If the Nuggets are going to win at all, the points have to come from somewhere. Right now, LaFrentz is their best bet.
In a perfect world, LaFrentz would have a career year, beat Pierce's Celtics in the NBA Finals and earn a huge contract extension that would keep him in Denver through his prime. So far, reality is this: LaFrentz is averaging less than nine points a game, and Denver is terrible. Unless that changes, the former Jayhawk won't be striking gold with the Nuggets anytime soon.

Freshmen open season strong
Despite nervous start, new players make significant contributions in exhibition game victory
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
Aaron Miles looked lost on the basketball court during the announcement of the starting lineup, but he quickly found his place after tipoff.
In his Allen Fieldhouse debut last night during Kansas' exhibition game against the EA Sports All-Stars, Miles started as point guard but had some trouble figuring out how to run out for the announcement of the starting lineup. He headed to half court to shake hands with an opposing player, as was customary at his high school in Portland, Ore.
"We don't do that around here," Coach Roy Williams said about Miles running over to the other bench. "You know in the Big 12, those guys, he may run over there and Ricardo may chop him or something," he said, referring to Colorado coach Ricardo Patton.
Williams said the starters were chosen based on who gave the team the best chance to play defense and push the ball.
Williams said he thought Miles was nervous before the game, which was apparent as his first two shots appeared tentative. Miles finally settled in and made his first points as a Jayhawk, a three-pointer, with 13:50 left in the first half.
team the best choice to play. Though Wayne Simien dominated the game with 25 points and eight rebounds, Miles found his role as well, finishing with 10 points and five assists.
SIR
Trying to establish their roles as well, Keith Langford and Michael Lee both recorded their first field goals at Kansas during the first half. Williams said he thought nerves affected Langford more than Lee.
"I think Keith was nervous," Williams said. "I thought Michael Lee and Wayne were into the game immediately.
Both Lee and Langford finished with four points each.
Although the freshmen showed some good signs in the exhibition game, Williams doesn't want to get too excited yet.
tion game, William's doesn't want to go back. "It's not exactly Missouri out there we're playing or Oklahoma State." Williams said. "I just want to see that they can do that against big time people."
Drew Gooden, junior forward, sinks a quick bucket in the first half of play against the EA Sports All-Stars. Gooden shot 8 for 14 last night at Allen Fieldhouse with a total of 17 points last night.

Hayes suspends starting cornerback

Ivey will miss game against Texas Saturday for team violation
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
Tom Hayes has always preached discipline — yesterday he enforced it.
discipline - yesterday for Kansas' interim coach suspended starting cornerback Carl Ivey from Saturday's game against No. 5 Texas for breaking unspecified team rules.
"My personality is such that I lay out the disciplines," Hayes said at his first press conference since former coach Terry Allen was fired on Sunday. "And if they're violated, I react, and I react the same every time. I don't waver. I don't feel bad because I am not going to apologize for having a rule.
"I never have and I never will."
Ivey has started each game this season. He will not travel with the team
Roe said he was excited about the chance to start, especially because his father lives in Austin and will be in attendance at 11:30 a.m. Saturday to see him play in person.

the sophomore from Killeen, Texas, declined to comment on the suspension.
Carlvey
Senior Quincy Roe will replace Ivey at left cornerback against the Longhorns. Although he has played off the bench in each game this season, Roe is not inexperienced.
Senior defensive tackle Marquis Hayes said he was not aware that his teammate had been suspended until yesterday's press conference, but he said that he was not surprised that his coach took action.
"He's just letting everybody know what he's always been doing," Marquis Hayes said of his interim coach. "It's not about the games or the play. It's about business."
Ivey's two interceptions represent the Jayhawks' second-highest total. Senior defensive back Andrew Davison leads the team with three.
Ivey will become the third Kansas player to be suspended for one game this year. Freshman quarterback Mario Kinsey and sophomore running back Reggie Duncan were benched during the Jayhawks' season-open victory against Southwest Missouri State on Sept. 1 for breaking team rules.

Kansas soccer begins tournament
Kansan sportswriter
By Ryan Wood
The fourth-seeded Jayhawks (13-5) shut out the Tigers 2-0 Friday at Super Target Field. Just six days later, the two prepare to meet again. This time, there's more at stake.
SAN ANTONIO — Suddenly,winning is the only option.
The Kansas soccer team enters the Big 12 Conference tournament today at 1:30 p.m. with a rematch with rival Missouri.
Today's match marks the second postseason game for Kansas in its seven-year history. The Jayhawks sneaked into last year's conference tournament as an eighth seed and took a quick, first-round pounding from Nebraska, 4-0.
Francis said the team's attitude going into this year's tournament was much more optimistic than it had been last year.
"I think they're going in thinking that if they win the first game, anything can happen," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "I think the first game will be the toughest, to be honest with you, because we just played them."
Missouri (12-7) rebounded after the loss and defeated Eastern Illinois 3-1 Sunday. The Tigers come to San Antonio as the fifth seed.
"I think it will be hard to get pumped up to play them again," said junior defender Pardis Brown. "We need to come in confident, but not arrogant. Play our game."
Today's winner goes on to face the winner of the Texas-Iowa State game. Texas is the No.1 seed, after going 9-1 in conference play.
In preparation for today's match at Blossom Athletic Complex, Kansas spent the week practicing on the quicker, artificial surface at Memorial Stadium.
"It's really short and real fast," Francis said of the field in San Antonio. "We're trying to get them used to the speed of the ball."
Notes
"There were some things, watching the tape, that we need to do a better job of," he said. "Hopefully we'll be able to correct some of those things. That will make the game less close."
The Jayhawks arrived in San Antonio yesterday afternoon. They held a light workout upon arrival, in preparation for today's showdown.
Francis said he thought that execution would be the key to another victory against the Tigers.

Freshman eyes Jayhawk run at championship
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
Chelsey Thompson
In 25 minutes on the floor, she tallied nine points on 3-of-4 shooting while dishing out two assists and grabbing two steals in the Jayhawks' season-opening exhibition game.
Coach Marian Washington said she thought Thompson was already showing great potential.
As a senior, Thompson used her intensity and passion for the game to lead her team to the Kentucky state championship game. She averaged 18 points, four rebounds and seven assists per game during her final season and was named first-team all-state and Region 7 Player of the Year in Kentucky.
"I am really excited about Chelsey," she said. "She will add to our athleticism and will be able to contribute this year.
"She's very aggressive and once she settles in I think she'll be pretty effective for us." Washington said.
Thompson said she wanted to become a leader on the floor and learn her role on the team.
Chelsey Thompson has high hopes for the women's basketball team.

The true freshman comes to Kansas fresh off a basketball-filled summer Thanks to her hard work during the off-season, the 5-foot-10 forward from Louisville, Ky., is prepared to make the transition to college basketball.
"We need to play hard and give 110 percent every time we're on the court," said Thompson of her team. "I think if we do that, we'll be successful."

Above: Concentration, teamwork and some luck are elements of winning in Trivia Smackdown. The game is played Sunday nights at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Below: Andy Morton moderates Trivia Smackdown at the Bottleneck. Morton said the game's atmosphere was laid-back, but could get crazy, adding that he once lit the questions on fire.
Trivia Pursuit
Bottleneck game promotes obscure knowledge and drunken revelry
STORY BY LEAH SHAFFER PHOTOS BY J. E. WILSON
The lights go on and host Andy Morton, Lawrence junior, grabs the microphone and rattles off a trivia question in the form of an answer to Team Taft-oMatic.
"Technically, this is considered the first bathtub of the White House." Morton said.
Team Taft-o-Matic is stumped. Finally, one of its members gives an answer.
"Is it the pond out back?" one member offers.
The rest of the audience laughs. Oddly enough, Taft-o-Matic's answer is not far from the truth. According to Morton, the Potomac River is considered the first bathtub of the White House.
This question is just another typical one for a game of Trivia Smackdown, played at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., each Sunday night. However, the game itself is hardly typical. Resembling a sort of drunken team version of jeopardy, Trivia Smackdown has for been a Sunday night ritual for the past two years for hardcore trivia junkies. Teams can vary in amount from two to 10 people.
"It's something to do on a Sunday rather than the same old, same old," said Anne Marie Kriss, Overland Park graduate student. Kriss and Team Robot member, Brian Collin, are regulars at the game.
"I like the atmosphere," said Collin, a KU alum. "You get to go out and do something."
Trivia Smackdown begins at 8.50 Sunday nights at the Bottleneck. Players pay $5 to participate. The money is then pooled and given to the winning team.
Every week, Morton and Murin come up with 14 categories of questions to beevil the regular teams. Morton said that coming up with the obscure trivia was sometimes no easy task.
"Sometimes it takes a couple of hours, sometimes days," Morton said.
To play Trivia Smackdown, a team selects a category and tries to answer a question for points. If the team does not know the answer, it has the option of "smacking down" another team with the question. If the smacked down team does not know the answer, then the other team gets the points. The unanswered question will then be open for the rest of the teams to answer and receive those points. In the end, the team with the most points wins the money.

However, what makes teams return week after week is not just the lure of money, but the appeal of the truly humorous and bizarre trivia.
"It's intellec-
"It's intellectual stimulation," said Team Robot mem b ber Karen Hodgson, a KU alumnae. The intellectual stimu lation comes in the form

of question categories with names such as "Name your vice," "1950s slang," "Coen Brother Films," "Beer" and "Historical Rhyme Time."
Historical Rhyme Time is a category of questions involving how. However, the answer must be i
ever, the answer must be in rhyme. For instance: "What is the 24-hour festival of Newton cookie fillers held at the site of a 1961 failed military invasion?" Answer: "Bay of Pigs Day of Figs." Or, "What was Hitler's Minister of Propaganda's Hamsters?" Answer: "Goebbel's Gerbils."
Once the first round of questions is
HOW YA LIVIN'?
pleted, individual players get a chance to win money if they can answer more questions than co-host Murin. So far, the money pot for this game has grown to $199. Because if Murin wins, they just keep adding money to it.
keep adding money to it.
When asked to describe his mental strategy for winning, Murin said, "I just go up there, light a cigarette, grab a beer and hope for the best."
Morton said his favorite question categories varied from week to week.
During one game, the hosts made a Smackdown category with questions so hard that a team could win a pitcher of beer for answering just one. Morton said one of the questions was, "What was Snuffleupagus's first name from Sesame Street?" The answer was "Aloysius." No team was able to answer that question or even a single question in the round.
"We try to have book-smart questions backed with useless knowledge," Morton said.
round. Morton said the most bizarre event to occur during the Smackdown was when Murin mooned the audience.
"And, one time, I set the questions on fire," Morton added.
Both Murin and Morton plan to keep hosting Trivia Smackdown as long as it draws a crowd.
"It's a cheap way to spend a night, and you learn things," Morton said.
"And, you can win money," Murin added.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 8)
Today's Birthday (Nov. 8).
You can expect a lot of discussion this year, along with some resistance to your authority. This isn't necessarily bad. You'll fine-tune the skill of getting along with others — and, of course, the skill of teaching them how to get along with you.
SCORPIO
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. You're a straightforward, honest person. With you, what people see is what they get. But that doesn't mean you can't have a private side. Right now, love and money both fit into that category. You can be confident and successful with out-telling everybody how you do it.
Taurus (April 21-May 20). Today is a 5. Don't expect much progress until later tomorrow. You're locked in negotiations. Your partner, mate or main adversary is very persuasive. Are you going to be swayed by this person's argument? Only if it's to your ultimate advantage. You be the judge.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. OK, now it's time to really get serious. You may not get far, though. If the best you can do is to keep somebody from running all over you, that's good enough. Tonight, stay close to home. There's work to be done.
Cancer (June 22- July 22). Today is a 7.
Love is聚汁le, but money is temporarily scarce. Put your heads together and come up with a plan. Doing isn't so bad when you're doing it together.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Home is where your heart is tonight,
and that's where your body should be,
too. That may require a slight modification to your schedule, but it's worth the effort. Tell the boss you can't work late. You have more important things to do.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
An insider tip could help you find the perfect thing for your home. If it gives you the look you want, go for it, even if it means going without something else. Make a change for the better.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6.
Be careful about what you say for the next few weeks. Let business take top priority. Learn to be a strategist. This could cramp your style socially for a while, but your friends will understand.

Two people
**Scorpio** (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
You're getting stronger, smarter and cuter. Not everyone agrees with you yet, but don't let that slow you down. Don't hobbie to convince you. You'll win more votes with your smile.
**Sagittarius** (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7.
Conditions are changing again.
Although you're exuberant and enthusiastic, it's best not to gloat.
Keep recent victories to yourself, and start planning your next move.
**Capricorn** (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) Today is a 7.
Your friends mean the world to you, even though you rarely say so. One of them will need a favor soon. It's a chance to show your appreciation and your love.
LION

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6. You'll have to hold off for a little while longer. There'll be too much opposition to your suggestions. Instead of feeling squashed, take notes. If you address those issues, the opposition will dissolve.
ruscs(Feb.19-March20) Today is a 7.
Your attention turns to a new idea or a very attractive person. The two may even be linked. But something is in the way. You can't get together yet. Actually, tomorrow's better anyway. For now, concentrate on your work.

Meridian, a comic book published by Florida-based CrossGen Comics, has a coming-of-age story that focuses on 16-year-old Stephie and how she deals with the death of her parents and the actions of her evil uncle.
'Meridian' brings new vision to comics
Because of her near-magical abilities to heal and fly, Steph has been thrust into a conflict with her uncle, who possesses special abilities that cause destruction.
At the beginning of Meridian, Stephie has lost everything. Her mother is long dead, her father recently died and the people of Meridian, the city-state her father ruled as Minister, believe she is dead.
Before Sophie can take the job as the new Minister of Meridian, she is taken in by her uncle, Ihlan, the Minister of the city-state of Cadador.
Sephie's life would be looking up except for the fact that Ihan controls the vast shipping monopoly that manages the planet Demetria. He also plans to take away Stephie's right to take the Meridian Minister position.
Sephie does manage to escape from her uncle and she creates a plan to destroy Cadador's monopoly, relying

heavily on her ability to heal and to fly. Sophie becomes the unexpected leader of a band of pirates, and rumors of her exploits as the flying Minister of Meridian have propelled her into a hero-like status among the underprivileged of her world.
in the current issue, No. 17, Stephie has made progress in her struggle to break her uncle's shipping monopoly by allying herself with the city-state of Massintak, an intellectual city that has made great strides in the study of science. With the help of Massintak's revolutionary airships, Stephie is able to convince others to join her cause.
Meanwhile, Ilhan has been furthering his own plans for an airstair armada.
Series writer Barbara Kesel always wanted to do a series that would appeal to the untaptied readership of female comic fans. She has accomplished her goal with Meridian.
Several strong female characters are present in the series, from main characters Stephie and expert pirate Deren Beq, as well as minor characters such as Lady Wyntren, a technological genius who aids Stephie.
Kesel has made the focus of the story the plot and the characterization and not action as most comics tend to do. Emotional entanglements evolve between Sophie and her long-time friend, Jad, who also happens to be the object of affection for the character Feabie.
Kesel's writing is easy to follow, straightforward and focuses on the key characters of the story—not in subplots involving the supporting cast. Also, a story recap is included with each issue, reminding regular readers what has happened and allowing new readers a way to jump in by providing the basic plot elements.
The artwork of Meridian is clear and wonderfully executed. The pencil drawings by Steve McNiven are well suited for the fantasy aspects of the book, and the inks by Tom Simmons and colors by Morry Hollowell further bring the images to life.
MAERSGEN SURVIVING THE WORLD
Meridian is not a typical comic book.
By focusing on a young girl, the creatine
team has brought a story that can appeal
to a wide variety of readers, whether or
not they have read comics before.
Meridian is published monthly with a newsstand price of $2.95 an issue.
Deep thoughts slow pace of 'Shallow Hal'
Contact Atkinson at 864-4810
Real beauty is on the inside. It's a valuable lesson taught to children from an early age, teaching them to look past outward appearances and judge others for who and what they really are.
P. A. C.
Of course, it is total rubbish and people, initially at least, judge others totally based on what they look like. No amount of political correctness will ever change that. Guys will always want the girl who looks like Britney Spears. And girls always want the guy who looks like Brandon Stinnett. We are, after all, only human.
Shallow Hal ★★★
Brandon Stinnett
Movie Reviewer
ajpaylukansan.com
But there is another rule in life that most people come to realize. People, guys and girls both, usually try to hook up with people at similar levels of attractiveness.
Commentary
Great movie of the week: Traffic. Acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh deservedly won the Best Director Academy Award for this film, which examines the different aspects of society's seemingly unsolvable drug problem. Traffic elegantly intertwines three distinct plot lines without struggling to keep viewers' undivided attention.
Bad movie of the week: Spice World. For reasons I will never fully comprehend, this movie about the talentless group of English pop stars actually got made. For an equally incomprehensible reason, I actually saw the movie. My sister wanted to go and needed someone to take her. It is one decision I will never forgive myself for.
In the new movie Shallow Hal,
somebody forgot to tell Hal that rule.
He's a short, pudgy guy who hits on
all the best-looking girls, which,
predictably always results in rejection.
One day that all changes when he is hypnotized into seeing only the inner beauty in everyone he meets.
Hal, who doesn't realize he's been hypnotized, is pleasantly surprised to find the beautiful women he now hits on actually want to go out with him. Of course, they're not really beautiful, but
he thinks they are and attributes his new found success to a string of good luck.
Hal's friends, however, judge the women on their real outward appearances—fat and ugly—and wonder what the heck has gotten Hal so desperate.
Eventually Hal meets a woman named Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow, who wears a gigantic fat suit in scenes when people other than Hal look at her) whom he really likes. He's initially attracted to her striking beauty, but as they grow closer, he realizes that she's a really great person.
Problem is, Hal doesn't realize that Rosemary weighs about a ton or that she's the daughter of his boss at work.
Predictably, troubles arise and ultimately Hal must decide if it's outward or inner beauty that matters most.
Shallow Hal is directed by Peter
and Bobby Farrell, the comedic geniuses behind There's Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber. Unlike their previous efforts, there's a lesson to be learned in Shallow Hell.
But the intended message about society's preoccupation with outward appearances gets muddled by the Farrelly's usual assortment of jokes that poke fun at disabled and fat people. The Farrelly's have never been ones to conform to the mainstream cries for political correctness, but in this movie they contradict themselves.
Shallow Hal tells us that judging people because of how they look is bad, but making fun of them isn't.
There is plenty to laugh at in *Shalou Hol* Hal, such as scenes when Hal
can't figure out how Rosemary can eat like a cow and still maintain a perfect body, or why the chairs she sits in at restaurants keep breaking from the pressure of her petite 110-pound frame.
Many scenes aimed at being funny invoke a smile rather than laughter, but there is enough comedy that works to keep the movie from growing dull too quickly. Only during later scenes when the comedy gives way to the message do the minutes start to drag bv and boredom sets in.
Next time, the Farellys should skip the sappy, feel-good moral-of-the story trash and stick to making fun of people. It's what they're good at.

Club to celebrate festival with Indian culture, dance
By Mandalee Meisner Jayplay writer
Every year. Hindus around the world celebrate the beginning of the New Year with Diwali, a festival of lights.
Saturday, the Cultural India Club will bring the dance, food and culture of the traditional Hindu festival to the University of Kansas with its own Diwali celebration from 6 to 9 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
This year's festivities include a fashion show in the form of a traditional Indian wedding, singing and dancing performances, skits and Indian food catered by Ruchi's Kitchen.
"There'll be a lot of music, a lot of dance, a lot of colorful dresses and great tasting Indian food," said Iqbalijit Singh, Lawrence junior and the club's events coordinator.
According to Singh, Diwali commemorates the return of the Hindu god Rama from 14 years of exile. Hindus traditionally celebrate Rama's return by lighting lamps and candles, exchanging gifts and performing rituals in honor of Rama.
Singh said the celebration brings a sense of home to many KU Indian students. Diwali is one of the main celebrations of the Hindu faith and culture.
"It brings everyone together and
gives them an opportunity to see the traditional dances here in Lawrence," Singh said. "It gives everyone the home kind of feeling you get from seeing your own nation's songs, dresses and people."
A main aspect of Diwali is the buying, exchanging and wearing of new clothes; in some countries. Appropriately, the main event on Saturday will be a fashion show featuring traditional Northern Indian wedding outfits.
Although the focus is on costumes, the show remains true to Indian custom.
"It shows how an Indian marriage takes place, portraying everything
from the engagement to the reception and the actual ceremony." Singh said.
Jubie Johnson, Overland Park sophomore, said that although she was Indian, the mock wedding would still be a learning experience for her. She will portray the equivalent of a bridesmaid in the fashion show.
"I'm from South India and it's a Northern Indian wedding, so the clothes that I'm wearing for the show I've never worn in my life," Johnson said. "This is probably the first and last time I'll wear an outfit like this, so I'm very excited."

SEXCOLUMN
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B
Beads,plugs can fill your sexual void
"OK, sex columnist," some of you might be saying. "You've had sex toys that vibrate, sex toys that come with veins and balls, and sex toys that even come double-sided or with a harness. What more could there possibly be?"
Well, sit down.
Commentary
Actually, don't. Because the next tantalizing group of sex toys are made specifically for pleasurable and tantalizing experiences of the rectal kind.
So, let's all stand up for toys of the behind kind: anal beads and anal plugs!
But there's more out there to help you — or you and a partner, or you and whomever — make the most of an anal experience.
Of course, as was covered in last week's column, dildos make great anal toys too.
Meghan Bainum
Columnist
ayplaykan.com
Butt plugs, for instance, are shaped kind of like dildos, but have a flared base. Just like dildos, you can get them in a range of sizes, from itty bitty to "Oh, my God." Some butt plugs even vibrate.
So what's the difference between a butt plug and a dildo? Think dildo for thrusting, butt plug for giving your anal area a feeling of fullness.
The flared base of the butt plug is another very important feature. Basically, the little base keeps the plug from migrating upstream too far. So be warned if you are using something for anal pleasure that is not made specifically for an anal insertion. Keep a good grip and make sure the object is sturdy enough for the task at hand. People have gotten things lost a little too far in, or have had things break off inside the rectum.
Unfortunately, whatever goes in must come out. Sometimes, this is only possible by taking a very embarrassing trip to Lawrence Memorial Hospital's emergency room. The only plus might be an awesome story to tell the grandkids.
Anal beads are another anal toy option. Basically, several beads on a string are stuck in the butt until orgasm, when the beads
are slowly pulled out.
Slowly. If you remove any toy from the anus too fast, it can cause a really bad mess (we've all heard the stories), and quite a bit of discomfort. In fact, it could even be physically harmful — which also might mean a trip to Lawrence Memorial.
But don't get freaked out — anal play is great! And, if toys aren't your bag, fingers work just as well. The area around the anus is so sensitive, just lightly touching the area can be quite the experience.
Playing around on your back nine can cause remarkably intense, pleasurable feelings just think about the anally induced orgasm shown in the movie Road Trip.
The pleasures of anal stimulation should not be limited to gay men, or even men in general. Many women of different sexualities can get turned on by anal play, just like men of all sexualities can. After all, sexuality isn't determined by whether one likes to have one's rectum touched, stroked or poked — so stand up today for some good anal play!
Have a question? Just bored? E-mail Meghan at sexquestion@hotmail.com
Some tips for anal play
Remember: in slow, out slow. It takes some anal foreplay (like finger insertion) to get things ready for business, just as it takes some gentleness to ease the tux (or whatever) out
Have good hygiene. With a daily washing, the anus is no dirtier than any other part of your body — after all, where have your hands been today?
Condoms, condoms, condoms. They'll help keep your toys clean and your playtime safe.
Never stick anything that has been up the anus into the vagina. This can cause nasty infections.
■ Relax and have fun!
Needless to say, a tight ass is not what you want, nor want to be, during anal sex. When done comfortably, anal play can be a very enjoyable thing. Take things slowly and see what happens.
You could be surprised.

Bands go 'loco' for popular punk
By Andy Gassaway Jayplay writer
PARKS AND RECORDS
On an unusually warm Sunday night in November, downtown Lawrence is a vision of placidity. Few cars drive down the street, the sidewalks are empty and a gentle breeze sends leaves slowly down the street.
JAMIEROPER/KANSAN
However, inside Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts St., the scene is anything but gentle.
"We wanna see blood!" shouts bartender Quincy Rosemond as vocalist Rob Gillespie of the band Esau dives shirtless into the jagged remains of a shattered beer mug, adding a dose of shock to an already blistering set.
Many Lawrence residents know Coco Loco for its Mexican food served during the day and the Latin dance scene harbored at night. But last May, the establishment began playing host to local and nationally touring punk and hardcore bands.
Kitchen manager Mike Appleby, who works with Rosemond to book the bands, said he was prompted to start organizing shows because other Lawrence venues began booking fewer aggressive, hardcore bands
Coco Loco books bands with other styles such as hip-hop and reggae, but Rosemond and Appleby retain an allegiance to hardcore music.
"I've worked here for three or four years and I've bugged the boss since the beginning to book shows," Appleby said. "The Replay used to be the best punk bar in the tri-state area, but now it's nothing but indie rock. We felt we could get our boss to book these shows, so we did it a couple of times and made him some money.
"Now we get three or four calls a day from bands wanting to play. We give gigs to bands who might not otherwise get coverage."
Although Coco Loco also books nationally touring bands, Appleby said he and Rosemond generally tried to book local bands on the same bill.
Kelfel Aqui, owner of Coco Loco, said he was pleased with the venue's effect on the local music scene.
"We always do try to include local with the touring bands." Appleby said. "We included three different local bands at the Sloppy Seconds show. It's good to have local bands play with the national bands. It brings more people in."
"I'm a musician and since I play in a band, I know how hard it is to have a gig." Aqui said. "People come here from Wichita and Topeka for their first gigs. The place is starting to become a hangout for musicians, and I like that."
Although Coco Loco is one of the
last venues in Lawrence professing an emphasis on hardcore and punk bands, musicians and Coco Loco staff said patronage sometimes has been scarce.
Local and national punk bands have another Lawrence venue. Esau performed at Coco Loco, 943 Massachusetts St. Sunday along with the Sense of Self, Heroin Sheiks and Cutthroat.
"We have a hard time here getting the draw we should have," Rosemond said. "But since we're known for Latin dance, bands at other venues get four times as many people."
miles as heavy rock performer. For local musicians such as Paul Brookes, drummer for Lawrence's Filthy Jim, the trick to drawing larger crowds is to simply "promote the rock."
"It's a good place and it's a good idea to have these bands play here, but it needs more promotion," said Steve Hammond, guitarist and vocalist of Filthy Jim. "It would be much better if people took it seriously. People need to recognize this as a real venue."
There may not be capacity crowds at every show, but those who have dared to venture into Coco Loco's shows say the experience is worthwhile.
"The crowd) is a decent size, and the sound is a lot better than I ever thought," said 28-year-old University of Kansas graduate Kirk Rhorer. Contact Gassaway at 864-4810

Decision delayed online enrollment
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas could have had online enrollment eight years ago. But a decision then to wait until a new enrollment database could be installed has pushed back to 2003 the online service's introduction.
Offering online enrollment in 1993 would have required developing a Web site that provided access to an aging enrollment database. Instead, the University chose to wait until it could replace the database with an updated system that would include online enrollment.
Tony Monley, Overland Park senior, said the University's decision to delay online enrollment did not surprise him.
"I think it's typical of a lot of things at this University — not taking initiative, and just trying to catch up to other schools," Monley said.
Money said.
Jennifer Holtaway, Geneva, Ill. sophomore, agreed and said it was ridiculous that the University had the opportunity to implement online enrollment, but decided against it.
"You can always upgrade things," Holtaway said
"You can always upgrade things. Hola day after Richard C. Morrell, university registrar, said the University had prepared to launch online enrollment in 1993—a full year ahead of the University of Missouri program —but the administration decided against it.
"KU developed a different strategy for a couple of good reasons." Morrell said.
The Student Records Information System, which is still in use at KU, was considered too old in 1993 and would eventually need to be upgraded.
"Building a Web-accessible front-end to the system seemed a shortsighted vision," Morrell said.
a shortsighted vision, Morristown.
The University is the only Big 12 Conference school that does not offer students the option of enrolling online. Kansas State University implemented an online system three years ago, and the University of Nebraska added its online registration program last summer.
The registrar's office is converting student records from the old system to a new student information database.
Jim Carothers, associate provost, said the University decided the PeopleSoft Student Administration System, which manages enrollment, would be the best program to facilitate online enrollment.
"Our commitment to the PeopleSoft system is what is delaying things here," Carothers said.

For some students, such consolation is not enough. I should avoid giving气.
But for some students, such consolation is an exception. Evan Hopkins, Lawrence sophomore, said online enrollment would be a tremendous help to students.

Mills rejects cards to avoid solicitors
Justin Mills was never comfortable with the idea of giving out student mailing addresses so that students could get a free discount card that he thought few would use.
So Mills, student body president, rejected a proposal to give out student mailing addresses that would allow free Student Advantage cards to be mailed to students.
He said he was concerned that the mailing addresses could be distributed to other solicitors.
"I had to get everyone's opinion on it before I made a decision that affects more than 25,000 people," Mills said.
sion that affects more than 25,000 people. He said student senators agreed that the card wasn't worth the risk.
Judd Berube, community manager for Student Advantage, said that the contract for distributing the cards would have specified that no student mailing information would be sold or given to other solicitors.
given to other solicitors.
He said that he was willing to change the wording in the contract if the University was uncomfortable with it.
"It s mostly a privacy clause," Berube said. "I'm not going to burn my bridges with KU just to benefit now."
mmy burges with KU just to be on the Senate would need the approval of Richard C. Morrell, university registrar, to allow student mailing information to be given out.
Morrell said that the Kansas Open Records Act would not have allowed student mailing information to be distributed even if the contract specified that Student Advantage could not give away the mailing lists.
"The law is still pretty clear about that." Morrell said. "I think they would have had a hard time convincing us that they had a legitimate educational need."
Greg Banach, Overland Park senior, said that he wouldn't mind having his information being given out, but he probably wouldn't use the card.
"It doesn't bother me to get it in the mail," Banach said. He said that the decision seemed to have the students' interests in mind.

GTAs condemn proposal
Contract rejections show reason for displeasure about past negotiations

negotiations with the University has offered GTAs a minimum base salary of $7,000 a year, which would increase 10 percent every year during the following two years of the contract term, but the coalition rejected that proposal last spring.
Members of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition released details yesterday as to why they are not satisfied with the contract negotiations with the University of Kansas.

In a press release distributed yesterday, the coalition read statements made by Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school, that the University ranks near the bottom in graduate teacher salaries and benefits among peer institutions.
Robert Vodicka, GTA and chairman of the negotiation committee, said about 40 people attended a coalition meeting last night to discuss the ongoing negotiations.

Candle vigil remembers veterans
ROTC students honor those who served the United States with special tributes
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Students involved in the Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC kicked off Veteran's Day events yesterday with a lowering of the flag outside Strong Hall and had a 24-hour candle vigil near the Vietnam Memorial on campus, said Capt. Bill Howell, Navy ROTC Marine officer instructor.
Veteran's Day is Sunday, and the Reserve Officers' Training Corps at the University of Kansas is doing its part to celebrate the day.
The vigil, which began about 4 p.m., will have two students guarding the flame at all times with students taking one-hour shifts.
Paul Brand, midshipman fourth class and Overland Park freshman, will guard the flame from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m.
"I just wanted to serve my country." Brand said, adding he thought it was a good way to show respect.
snow response.
Matt Berger, midshipman second class said he had guarded the flame the past two years. This year, the Lake Zurich, Ill., junior, said the flag ceremony and candle vigil made him feel as if he was a part of something important.
"It's sort of likea brotherhood," he said. He said freedom was important to remember as the United States fought the Taliban in Afghanistan.
About 205 students are involved with the ROTC programs at the University.
In other events, the U.S. Marine Corps is celebrating its 226th birthday tomorrow, Howell said. A celebration will be at 10 a.m. today at the American Legion, 3408 W. Sixth St.

U.S. officials still stumped by origins of anthrax mail
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — More than six weeks after anthrax-tainted letters began arriving, federal authorities say they still know almost nothing about where the deadly powder comes from or who cooked it up.
Experts say the teaspoonful of powdered anthrax spores sent to Sen. Tom Daschle's office could have come from an Iraqi weapons laboratory or a New Jersey basement.
a rigorous analysis by the U.S. Army Research Institute of Infectious Disease at Fort Detrick, Md., found that the anthrax in the Dickle letter was the perfect size to float in the air and lodge in the lungs. It had also been mixed with silica, to keep the particles from clumping together.
Because of those characteristics Army scientists settled on "professionally done" rather than "weaponized" to describe the powder, Gen. John S. Parker told a Senate subcommittee Oct. 31.
It probably also took a well-constructed laboratory to produce the high-quality powder, said former United Nations weapons inspector Richard Spertzel.

"I would not envision it being done in somebody's garage or basement," Spertzel said. "You would have to know exactly what you're doing."

to its target. After stealing or purchasing anthrax bacteria from any of hundreds of labs worldwide, Ebright said, the attacker could have outfitted a bioweapons lab without straying more than a few miles from the Trenton location where the letters to Daschle, NBC and the New York Post were mailed.
"I continue to believe the most likely prospect is that it was produced by a single person or a small group of people locally," he said.

Mexican president frees men convicted on drug charges
MEXICO CITY President Vicente Fox said yesterday that he had ordered the release of two peasant environmental activists whose convictions on weapons and drug charges had been condemned worldwide.
the freeing of Rodolfo Montiel and Teodoro Cabrera comes less than a month after an attorney who had worked on their case, Digna Ochoa, was shot dead in her Mexico City law office after receiving death threats.
Fox said he had freed the men on medical grounds after consulting with legal experts and receiving many petitions from national and international human rights groups.
They were arrested on May 2, 1999, by army troops and accused of growing marijuana and carrying illegal weapons.
Their defenders said that they had been tortured into confessions and that they had been persecuted because of their opposition to logging in the areas.

The Palestinian detonated the explosives, killing himself and wounding two commandos, said Lt. Col. Amos Yaakov of the border police. Police said they believed the bomber intended to blow himself up in an Israeli city.

KC officials advise end to anthrax antibiotics
The Associated Press
The advisory comes after the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidelines saying that merely finding traces of anthrax does not warrant taking antibiotics.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The 250 workers and recent visitors to a Kansas City postal facility where anthrax was found can stop taking precautionary antibiotics, health officials said yesterday.
City and state health officials had advised the medications after tests at the underground Stamp Fulfillment Service center last week were positive for small amounts of anthrax.
No one has been infected, and officials have stressed that the public is in no danger.
Officials had suggested the employees and visitors continue taking the drug Doxycycline until hearing otherwise.
"We have determined that no employee or visitor to Stamp Fulfillment Services was at risk for inhalation anthrax," said Rex Archer, director of the Kansas City Health Department. "Therefore, we will follow the CDC's latest guidelines ... and recommend that these individuals immediately stop taking the medication."
Additional tests announced Wednesday turned up no new anthrax spores at the center—the nation's clearinghouse for the first-day cancellations prized by many stamp collectors.
The latest tests showed that the contamination was extremely small, said Maureen Dempsey, the director of the state Department of Health and Senior Services.
Officials still are waiting for the results of tests taken outside the structure, which is located in a cave near the Worlds of Fun theme park. Dempsey said those results would not be available until today at the earliest.

"A lot of students didn't know what the Open House was about," said Katie Holman, Prairie Village senior and journalism senator. She said that students would be more likely to participate if they were better informed.

"We visited him at KU Med, and we realized it would be impossible for him to be at McCollum," she said. "Dorm life is not conducive to his condition."
Saifeddine does not have insurance, but his dad, who has insurance, was trying to work things out with the hospital.

WOMYN'S PRIDE
Dear editor,
Dear editor,
Robert Chamberlain's Nov. 1 critique of Womyn Take Back the Night ("Women's rally still needs to work on equity") completely ignores many of the substantive issues voiced by participants and proves dramatically shortsighted.
While I wholeheartedly agree with Chamberlain's praise of the program's positive aspects, I found his analysis of domestic violence sadly inaccurate.
domestic violence study, Citing Department of Justice statistics, Chamberlain illogically deduces that men rampantly kill other men, thus, violence against women appears only the slightest of societal concerns. This argument seems woefully ignorant of several points: First, I believe that most participants in Take Back the Night share concern for victims of all violence, not exclusively females; and second, violence against women within domestic settings results largely from the economic and political inequalities transcending society.
Chamberlain's statement that men are victimized far more than women merely reinforces the point he denies — in fact, women's issues remain secondary to his supposedly more prominent attacks against men. Why? Women lack the financial and political security to escape abusive or violent situations — these realities exist, despite his male-dominated murder rates.
Chamberlain's assumption that male-on-male aggression somehow negates the existence of violence against women is myopic. The womyn of Take Back the Night should remain proud of their movement and the awareness they spur

Understand WTO to help end its tyranny
The World Trade Organization. The International Monetary Fund. The World Bank. These names may seem vaguely familiar; perhaps you heard them mentioned on the news, but what do you know about them? Many Americans have little knowledge of these multinational, giants that wield tremendous power over our lives. Learning about them is a significant step toward changing that.
step to win changes. The WTO was created in 1995 as a successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. As its name implies, it is charged with increasing world trade by ensuring the expansion of free trade. With the IMF and the World Bank, the WTO sets the standards of global trade.
These groups appear to be leading us down a path corrupted with economic and social inequality. They state that they want to stimulate economic growth around the world, and save economically struggling countries. But ensuring fair trading standards and encouraging "development" globally, is coming at a terrible cost.
These organizations work to eliminate barriers to trade. Unfortunately any barrier is seen as bad even if it was in place to protect human rights or environmental concerns. People have no value except as consumers or labor. A country's natural resources are nothing more than commodities to be harnessed by business, its government of little concern.

change. Nov. 9-13, the WTO will hold its annual meeting in Qatar, a tiny, remote monarchy. While we can not protest it directly, as in past years, we can take some time this week to read the international section of a newspaper or talk with a friend. Empower yourself with knowledge. Raising awareness about these groups' global tyranny is the first step in becoming a better citizen of the world.
The WTO considers anything that hinders expedient trade a barrier. Human rights, labor laws (including child labor laws), and environmental protection are all seen as anti-competitive or trade barriers. So the WTO breaks down these democratically created, essential safeguards.
Recently, the European Union, with public safety in mind, placed a ban on products from genetically modified cows. In 1998 the WTO vetoed this ban, calling it a "barrier to trade."
As more people accept the notion that brand name, sweatshop-produced goods are acceptable, that all business is good business, it becomes more difficult to dissent. Increasing the difficulty, the WTO masks itself in secrecy, reducing accountability and promoting inequality. Rulings on the fate of the economic world are conducted in secret meetings run by nonelected panels of "officials." The public is directly affected by these rullings, and yet does not have a venue to contribute to the decision-making process.
some of the world's largest democracies - including our own - support, empower, and legitimize these groups.
Despite undemocratic process
Unfortunately, too many of us expect nothing of these groups because we know nothing about them. We all must realize our place in society and how we got where we are today. Each of us affects each other in some way, and we must each take responsibility for the results our actions cause. Placing business ideals over basic human rights — what many of us do every day without thinking — is clearly unacceptable.
In the aftermath of recent events, it may be easy for us to cower from a world unexplainable and terribly cruel. However, instead, we must take control of the international organizations that seek to shape it. We must understand who is really in charge, and gain back the power we have lost. Only through understanding the system can we change it — and it desperately needs to change.

Manhattan misses opportunity to correct school's racist mistake
Sometimes it takes being away from home for a while to realize just how far you've come.
you earlier this fall, the school board of Manhattan, my hometown — insert your own K-State joke — voted to retain the Manhattan High School mascot, the Indian.
The effort to "retire" the mascot was initiated when a new superintendent came to town this year. It wasn't the first time the issue has been brought up, and I hope it won't be the last.
P
Of course the mascot wasn't intended to be racist. Most of us don't consciously espouse racism. The problem is that the inability to step out of our ingrained view of the world can lead us to support racist elements in society.
I hope it won't be the case.
Four years ago, as a senior at Manhattan High, I had mixed feelings about the Indian mascot. Then, I felt an emotional attachment and made many of the same arguments I've heard in the past few months — that the mascot's image was respectful, that it wasn't motivated by racist intentions, that it was rooted in proud tradition.
But time, distance and experience can change a lot.
School board members who voted to keep the Indian as the mascot defended their decision with the results of a student poll, in which the majority of a predominately White school favored

Unfortunately, when the issue is degradation of a minority group, blindly following the majority is not valid. One board member even apologized if a few people were offended by the mascot, but said it was more important to go with the masses. It is simply ridiculous to speak in terms of an acceptable offense when an entire segment of society — nations of indigenous peoples — are being trivialized and stereotyped, no matter how "respectful" it may be.
retaining the mascot.
respectful it may be.
Legend has it that Manhattan High originally switched to the Indian mascot in 1941 to honor a well-liked football coach who was of Native-American descent. I'll admit, it surprised me that his daughter returned to the school board in support of keeping the mascot that honored her father.
On the other hand, Manhattan residents were far too willing to take the opinion of one Native American and make her the spokesperson for the
entire race. It's time stop embracing the attitude of "Well, my friend (insert name), who is (insert race/nationality/sexual orientation/gender) thinks (insert offensive remark or image) is OK, so it must be OK with everyone."
OR, so it must be The most frustrating aspect of the argument to keep the Indian mascot is that it honors the admirable qualities of Native Americans. I've seen first hand the strength and resilience of many Native Americans. I also have great respect for the strength of many African Americans, Hispanics, homosexuals, women and a host of other groups, but it's ludicrous to think of naming a team the "Black guys" or the "Chicks."
Why is it different with Native Americans? It's not. Americans are comfortable with stereotypes of Native Americans, but let's not be mistaken into believing that something comfortable translates into something acceptable.
My hometown has disappointed me. I understand how the misconceptions about Native Americans and other minorities exist. But it's the walls my neighbors and classmates have put up around their sheltered ideas that saddens me the most. Tradition can't explain away ignorance.

Tennis to wrap up season with West Coast tourney
By Jason Hwang Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawk tennis team has temporarily migrated to the West Coast to wrap up the fall season.
Kansas begins play today in the San Diego Invitational. The tournament will run through Sunday. Last year senior Cheryl Malliaiah and former Jayhawk Monica Sekulov won the doubles title, defeating fellow Jayhawks Courtney and Kristin Steinbock, 9-8.
In the consolation singles final, junior Kim Lorenz beat sophomore Kristin Steinbock, 1-6, 7-5, 6-2.
"I feel that the girls are ready to play in San Diego and end on a positive note."
Kilmeny Waterman
Kansas tennis coach
Coach Kilmeny Waterman said she had high expectations.
Assistant Coach Amy Hall said the fall season had been decent.
"I hope that the team can build on what they did in previous tournaments and finish strong," she said. "I feel that the girls are ready to play in San Diego and end on a positive note."
"We had some good results and some mediocre ones," she said. "Some of the players have done very well while others haven't
played as well as they can."
Hall also said she thought those who had not played as well would do better during the spring season.
After the tournament, Kansas won't compete until dual play starts in the first week of February.
Davison: ready for challenge
Waterman said that because of NCAA rules, the team could be on the court for only two hours per week during the off-season. She said she had stressed to the players that they needed to go home and practice on their own to be primed for the spring.

Big 12, the best receiver in the nation, but I consider myself as one of the best in the Big 12.
"Everybody in the country knows him now, where as last year, I don't think too many people knew about him."
Texas wide receivers coach Darryl Drake said that of all the athletes he had coached in his four years in Austin, no one had possessed as much talent and flair as Williams
"He's been blessed with a gift," Drake said. "He's tall, he's fast, he's physical and he's worked at it. He no doubt has the greatest gift in terms of size, speed and explosion that I have ever seen."
As much as Drake praised his own player, he said that Davison was no slouch.
But no one on the Kansas team is more excited about this game than Davison. He wants to make his third-to-last game at Kansas his best.
"We think he is an outstanding cornerback," Drake said. "He will challenge us, and you like to see a guy like that. We have a lot of respect for him."
"I'm going to bring it to the table," Davison said. "And I promise that the same thing won't happen this year that did last year."

Hayes: To face No. 5 Texas

prepares for a Longhorn defense that is the best in the Big 12 Conference and third in the nation.
Linebackers D.D. Lewis and Derrick Johnson lead the interior of the Texas defense, which has limited opponents to just 86 rushing yards per game. On the outside, cornerback Quinten Jammer is among the nation's best cover men. The preseason All-American leads the conference with 22 passes defended, including two interceptions.
The game will be Kansas' fourth this season against a defense ranked in the top six. In games against Kansas State, Nebraska and Oklahoma, the Jayhawks scored a total of 23 points.
The Jayhawks' offense has scored just 13 touchdowns this season. Meanwhile, Texas junior quarterback Chris Simms has accounted for 26 touchdowns by himself, 20 passing and six rushing.
Tomorrow will be Senior Day for the Longhorns. Among the seniorsuiting up at home for the last time will be backup quarter
back Major Applewhite, the school's all-time leading passer.
As if Senior Day wasn't motivation enough, the Longhorns will also continue their quest for a Bowl Championship Series invitation. At 8-1, Texas' only loss came to No. 3 Oklahoma.
Texas' eight wins have come by an average margin of victory of 52 points per game.
Tomorrow's game begins at
11:30 a.m. It will not be televised.

Runners count on luck to win
By Matt Norton
Kansan sportswriter
In cross country, having some luck is often the difference between success and failure.
For Brent Behrens and his teammates, that will be the case tomorrow at the NCAA Midwest Regionals in Carbondale, Ill.
Behrens, who finished 13th at the Big 12 Conference championships with a personal-best 24:59.3 for the eight-kilometer race, has had luck on his side.
He has remained injury-free in his past two years on the team.
But two weeks before the biggest cross country race of his life, Behrens got sick. Doctors feared he had mononucleosis.
Luckily, Behrens' illness was only a viral infection, and Behrens said he was getting
healthier each day. Nonetheless, he said he hasn't been able to run much in the days heading into this weekend's race.
"It's hard to know what to expect," Behrens said. "I may not be able to go out as hard as I did at Big 12s."
Both the men's and women's teams should find themselves in tight contests at the regional meet, where the difference between qualifying for the national meet and staying home will be slim.
The men were ranked eighth in the region, and the women 10th, going into the meet. Only the top two teams automatically qualify for the NCAA championships in two weeks at Greenville, S.C., but Clark said Kansas had a chance at a top spot.
"There are no powerhouse teams in that group," Clark said. "I think basically whoever runs the best Saturday is going to end up placing highest. I'd say the same thing about the guys."
Clark said that with the proper attitude, his teams could create some of their own luck this weekend.
"They can't let it affect them mentally," Clark said. "They are in shape, and I think if they keep a positive attitude, they can run well."
Behrens said he wasn't thinking about illness hampering what could be his last college cross country meet.
"It's not really an issue now," he said. "I've got to run."

Volleyball team 'upbeat' about rematch
By Steve Laurenzo
Kansan sportswriter
Coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhawks were pleased to be entering the match at home, having won the last two matches.
For the second time this season, the Kansas volleyball team will attempt the near impossible: to defeat No. 2 Nebraska.
"The crowd is always great," Jacobson said. "We going to play
Sophomore outside hitter Abbie Jacobson said the Jayhawks looked forward to playing at home against a great team.
The match will be at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Horesi Family Athletic Center. Kansas is 15-12 and 5-11 in the Big 12, and Nebraska is 21-1 and 14-0.
"I think we're more upbeat with the success," Bechard said. "That doesn't make the task any easier. It doesn't make Nebraska any easier of an opponent. But it provides for a better frame of mind going into the match."
In the history of the matchup, Kansas has managed just one win in 68 tries. The series record, 66-1-1, is disputed by Nebraska, which has the tally at 66-0.
our best and see how it goes."
Kansas faces Nebraska having not taken a game from the Cornhusks since Oct. 28,1998. Kansas won the third game of the match in Lincoln,Neb.
Kansas claims a win on Nov. 12, 1977. Records dating back this far are unclear but suggest that Kansas may have defeated Nebraska's junior varsity squad.
Nebraska enters tomorrow with a 19-match winning streak. Only two Big 12 teams, Missouri
and Texas A&M, have taken a single game from the Cornhuskers this season. The only Cornhusker loss was to No.1-ranked Long Beach State.
Bechard said Nebraska's physical ability was a major concern
"They are far and away the best blocking team in the Big 12 Conference," he said. "Most people think of the spike as the most intimidating play but really being blocked repeatedly bruises the ego the most. Their rotation is solid in all six positions."
Beachard said the Jayhawks had to concentrate on junior setter Greichaly Cepero and senior right side player Nancy Metcalf. Cepero averages 1.19 blocks and 12.85 assists per game. Metcaf averages 4.57 kills per game.

CALLING YOU
do you radiate joy?

A BUSY SIGNAL?
do you long to follow in the footsteps of Jesus?
do you long to follow in the footsteps of Jesus?
In today's world, it's so easy to lose sight of why we're really here. So perhaps the thought of devoting your entire life to God has never crossed your mind.
Then again maybe it has. Maybe you're one of the rare women who are being called by God to follow in the footsteps of Jesus And if you'd only take a moment to really listen to your inner voice, God will get through.
We are the Sisters of St. Joseph, an international order with roots right here in Wichita. And we invite you to come live a life of holiness, in a community where we strive for unity and reconciliation among all people with God and with one another. Ours is a community of prayer and service. Our dedication to God motivates us and is the source of joy for all that we do.
But how can you know if you truly have been called? Do you feel a longing for more in your life? Do you feel a void in your heart? Do you radiate joy? Does love pour out of your smile and do you long to follow Jesus?
If so, you owe it to yourself to answer God's call. To learn more about The Sisters of St. Joseph, call or visit us online. You'll be eternally grateful you did.

Billy Joel breaks into classical
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — For fans who identify Billy Joel with pop hits like "Uptown Girl" and "Only the Good Die Young," it may be a little hard to imagine the Piano Man writing classical music.
But it's the classical music, not classic rock, that inspires Joel these days. For all his rock accomplishments, including induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Joel has always maintained a love for his boyhood idols, which not only include the Beatles, but also Beetheven and Mozart. He even tried his hand at classical composing decades ago as a boy trying to outwit his mother during piano practice.
"My mother would say, 'You stay in that room, play the piano, and you ain't getting out of that room until you put in your hour!'" Joel recalled. "I had to fool my mother,
who had a good ear. ... (So) I just made up my own Mozart.
After selling more than 100 million albums in the pop world, the Grammy-winning rocker decided to enter the classical arena with the release of Fantasies & Delusions, which features pianist Richard Joo performing 12 of Joel's Romantic era opuses. It made its debut at the top of the classical music charts and has stayed there for five weeks in a row. So far, the album has sold more than 43,000 copies.
Joo will perform selections from the album at 8 to 10 p.m. Sunday on the A&E special Billy Joel: In His Own Words, in Joel will take questions from the audience and also perform some of his old favorites.
A greatest hits package, The Essential Billy Joel, was released the same day as Fantasies & Delusions
"I had to fool my mother, who had a good ear. ... (So) I just made up my own Mozart." Billy Joel non musician
Elsewhere in television ...
PAKISTAN LEADER SPEAKS: Pakistan Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who has come under criticism from his own people for his support of the bombing campaign in Afghanistan, will sit down with Ted Koppel on ABC's Nightline at 10:30 tonight. The interview will be his upcoming address to the United Nations.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9,2001

When it's time rookie player will rule court
It wasn't Allen Fieldhouse, but Wayne Simien always imagined it was ... you know, his driveway court back home in Leavenworth.
So many times he imagined himself trotting onto the fieldhouse court to the roar of 16,300 fans. He pictured himself going through warm-ups, hearing his name announced as he entered the game and then proceeding to manhandle opponents and score at will while leading his beloved Jayhawks to a victory.
He had played on the fieldhouse court at Roy Williams' summer basketball camps since the sixth grade, working toward that dream. On Wednesday, the dream became reality for Simien as well as for Kansas fans who watched a Kansas big man thrash the EA Sports Central All-Stars, 98-77.
Simien entered the game and provided the spark Kansas needed to put the game away early.
He sank hook shots after making strong pivots in the post. He swished all nine of his free throw tries and looked calm and comfortable from the moment he stepped on to the floor.
Oh yeah, he also looked menacing. With his 6-foot-9, 250-pound frame, Simien was thicker than any one else on the floor and used it to his advantage. He thrashed his elbows through the air as he tore down rebounds, and he glared at opponents and shoved them out of the way when they tried to guard him.
He also used his size to abuse the All-Stars' Marek Ondera. Simien tossed Ondera like a rag doll, swallowed one of his shots on a block, muscled past him for lay-ins, threw down three thunderous dunks that left the goal shaking and tore down rebounds like Karl Malone. He owned Ondera.
"He's got an extremely big advantage coming in as a freshman being built the way he is," senior center Jeff Carey said of Simien's intimidating frame. "Going on through the years, he should be a tank. He's already as strong as any of us."
Simien tallied 25 points, eight rebounds and one block in 19 minutes that drew a standing ovation from the packed fieldhouse. He achieved his boyhood dream in his first college game and in one heck of an impressive performance.
"Let's not get too excited," coach Roy Williams said about Simien's explosive night. "It's not exactly Missouri out there that we're playing or Oklahoma State, so don't get too excited."
And that's the thing Kansas fans need to realize. Savor Simien's first game, because we saw an amazing outing by a man who was in a zone Wednesday night.
But understand this: it was just an exhibition game, and Simien is still a freshman. Enjoy the magic he displayed against the All-Stars, but realize that he will have his ups and downs.
Enjoy watching this superstar-in-theworks as he develops and continues to mature. Don't expect 25 points every night, but continue to expect the workhorse attitude he played with all night.
Simien will be a consistent contributor for the Jayhawks all season because he is well-disciplined and won't let Wednesday's game go to his head. He knows Williams won't let him.
Dominating the All-Stars was a nice start, but now Simien can have bigger dreams to strive toward during the next four years: helping the Jayhawks win a Big 12 Conference title and bringing a national championship to Kansas.

Tough loss may end season
After losing to Missouri, soccer team can only hope for at-large bid
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
SAN ANTONIO — After 112 minutes of pure war, the Kansas soccer team dropped a heartbreaker to Missouri, a 1-0 double-overtime defeat in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament yesterday.
the loss eliminates the Jayhawks from the tournament, and puts them on the bubble for an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament. The field will be announced Monday.
After a record-setting season of 13 wins, Kansas (13-6) let the stalemate slip away with eight minutes left in the
Tiger forward Karen Bauer knocked the ensuing penalty kick into the back of the net for the victory. Missouri (13-7) now faces first-seeded Texas in the semifinals.

"We started off slow,but we picked

slow, but we pretend it up in the second half and played really well," said senior forward Natalie Hoogveld. "It's sad that it ended on a PK."
The game was dominated by strong play from both defenses and missed opportunities by both offenses.
Meghan Miller
Missouri outshot Kansas 21-12. Freshman goalkeeper Meghan Miller saved nine shots, and exposed her fearless attitude by breaking up several Tiger opportunities from point-blank range.
"Meghan played awesome," coach Mark Francis said. "She's gotten better every game, and she's obviously emerged into a very good goalkeeper. She kept us in it on more than several occasions."
Missouri had 12 corner kicks, including five in the first half, but the Jayhawk defense prevented any damage from being done.
"The game was pretty even," Francis said. "It was a lot more even than when we played them Friday. It was a great season, but it's disappointing to lose like that. It's just one of those things."
The Jayhawks' fate now lies in the NCAA tournament selection committee. After yesterday's loss, Kansas rests on the
bubble of a possible at-large berth.
"A loss today made it a bit more difficult to get in, but we still have a chance," Hoogveld said. "We seniors hope it's not our last game."
And if it is the end, Francis said he thought this season was anything but a waste.
"It's been a very good season whether we make the tournament or not," he said. "We have come a long way. Compared from last year to this year, it's a huge difference. We can use that as a benchmark for what we expect from here on out and to continue to improve
"Anything less than fourth in the conference after this is not going to be acceptable."
Cornerback seeks revenge
Shown up last year, Andrew Davison is seeking redemption
Contact Wood at 864-4858
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
Andrew Davison has waited 364 days for this rematch.
On Nov. 11 of last year, a Texas freshman humbled Davison as he torched the cornerback for two touchdowns and four receptions for 180 yards. Wide receiver Roy Williams' performance stunned Davison, who had told the media two weeks before the game he was the best cornerback in the Big 12 Conference.
Davison was defeated that day. He had allowed a young wide receiver to come into Lawrence and make a mockery out of a one-on-one match-up. The game helped Roy Williams to stardom and had Davison seething, hoping for one more shot against the wide receiver in his senior season.
24
Davison's day of reckoning will come tomorrow.
Kansas plays No. 5 Texas on its home turf this time around, but Davison will once again be responsible for shadowing Williams, the 6-foot-5 monster who has 14 touchdown grabs in less than two years at Texas.
"This will be the most important challenge for me this year," Davison said Wednesday. "I've been looking forward to this since last year. He is the best receiver in the

Hayes brings big changes to team
By Brent Briggeman
Kansas sportswriter
Kansan sportswriter
Even with a smooth flight to Austin, Texas, one of the most turbulent weeks in the history of Kansas football could get even bumper tomorrow.
Kansas, not yet a week removed from the firing of coach Terry Allen, will implement a series of changes in hopes of improving its chances against a charged-up No. 5 Texas.
Interim coach Tom Hayes, in his first week on the job after replacing coach Terry Allen, announced that
freshman Mario Kinsey and sophomore Zach Dyer would again split time at quarterback. The two battled for the position early in the season with Kinsey taking over full-time duties in the season's third game. However, after completing just 17 of his last 32 passes, Kinsey must fight for playing time once again.
"I've been a little concerned with Mario's confidence, and I think that's reflected in his play," said offensive coordinator Rip Scherer. He said Kinsey's performance had reached a
The Jayhawks will begin huddling between plays, scrapping the no-huddle approach that was implemented at the beginning of the season.
The starting quarterback won't be named until tomorrow, but both Dyer and Kinsey expect to see playing time.
plateau and a switch could help his game.
"I want those three guys to be out there in the huddle when it gets hot and things aren't going well," said Hayes, who promoted wide receivers Termaine Fulton and Roger Ross, as well as tackle Justin Hartwig.
The quarterback position won't be the extent of the changes for Kansas.
The offensive play calling will now be entrusted entirely to Scherer, who had
previously split the job with Allen.
Hayes also named three additional senior offensive captains for this week in an attempt to increase the onfield leadership.
The changes come as the Jayhawks' offense, ranked 109th in the nation.

Women's team to rework offense
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
Going into tomorrow afternoon's game against Fort Hays State, Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington has one main concern.
"I've been worried as to where we're going to get some scoring, and I think that we'll be able to find it," she said. "Hopefully we'll find enough of it throughout the year."
The Jayhawks have one preseason game left to jump start their offense. Kansas has not faced Fort Hays State since 1976. In the nine times these teams have met, the Tigers lead the series 5 to 4. Kansas has won the last two meetings by an average of 38.5 points. Washington said she was looking forward to finally playing the in-state Division II team again.
The Jayhawks, coming off a sevenpoint loss Tuesday to a talented Houston Jaguars, had only two players reach double figures. Senior guard Selena Scott scored 13 while senior center Kristin Geoffroy added 10. Senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp and freshman guard/forward Chelsey Thompson both ended with nine points. Washington said she had already recognized the weakest area of her team's offensive game.
"The concern I really have right now is in our four spot, and I'm not sure how I'm going to get it fixed," she said. "That's a big concern I have."
"When I got started here, Fort Hays State was a great program for women's basketball," Washington said. "They've had very fine women's teams so it will be fun to see them. It's kind of neat just to — for at least one game — bring one of the smaller schools in."
Whether the caliber of the preseason competition is WNBA or Division II quality, the purpose of the game remains the same.
Washington said one strategy to fix her offensive woes was to get freshman guard/forward Blair Waltz more involved.
"I think that with Blair, we're going to consider playing around with her position a little bit, maybe to get her on the floor a little bit longer," Washington said.
"The young players need to get the experience on the floor playing this type of aggressive basketball." Scott said. "Our main focus for the exhibition games is mainly to get them in the flow of college basketball."

Possible hike in housing fees upsets students
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
SWINGIN' SHED
In light of a proposed student housing rate increase, Dashon McNeely said he planned to look for an apartment next year because he would get more space for his money.
money.
A plan to the Board of Regents from the University of Kansas will raise student housing rates by $294 for next year, a 6.8 percent increase from this year's rate of $4.348.
"I don't think that it could be easily justified seeing as how the bare minimum of housing is $2,000 or more for a semester," said McNeely, Los Angeles freshman.
The Board of Regents will consider the University's plan for preliminary approval at a meeting this week.
McNeely said he didn't expect the increase to be easily received by parents and students.
Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing, said that although the economy affected the rate change, he hoped the new rates would be adequate through June 2003.
However, he said there was a possibility the proposed price increase might go higher before it's scheduled to take effect July 1.
RATE INCREASE
What happened? The University submitted a plan to the Board of Regents to increase student housing rates by 6.8 percent next year.
"It's a pretty uncertain economy." Stonersaid.
What does it mean: if approved, student housing rates will increase by almost $300.
What's next: The Board of Regents will consider the plan for preliminary approval this week.
Stoner said.
Traditional residence halls will not be the only housing units affected by the proposed rate hike. Stoner said there would be a $188 increase in scholarship hall rates as well.
Cathy Houts, Prairie Village freshman and Oliver Hall resident, said that until the other dorms were renovated like Lewis Hall and Templin Hall, the price should not be raised.
not be raised. She said she would not be living in student housing next year, and said she thought the price increase would probably encourage more students to consider other options.

Despite the increase, Stoner said the University's housing rates were still $906 below the national student housing average and among the lowest in the Big 12 Conference.

The white barn on David and Margaret Shirk's property just north of Lawrence is rented out for parties and receptions year-round. The Shirks said the money made from such events goes primarily to the upkeep of the hundred-year old structure.
Barn a long-standing student party haven
by Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Buses trundled back and forth Saturday night between the University of Kansas and a barn buried in the quiet countryside northeast of Lawrence.
Inside the barn, members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority met up with their mystery dates. Warmed by space heaters, they danced beneath flashing disco lights, creating an island of light and noise in the middle of a still November night.
June Brown, Coffeyville freshman and Alpha Chi Omega member, said the atmosphere was warm, bright and relaxed.
Since 1966, various KU students have come to the barn of David and Margaret Shirk for different events. Students say the barn creates the perfect atmosphere for a party.
Margaret Shirk said her grandfather built the barn in 1900 after coming to the 300-acre farm, a couple of miles northeast of Lawrence, in 1865. Her father was born on the farm. So was she. She grew up there and said one of her two daughters would inherit the farm.
Margaret and David Shirk both attended KU and they still go to all the football and men's basketball games.
David Shirk was captain of the football team in 1938, then coached the freshman football team after he graduated from KU in 1959. He spent many years teaching high school biology and coaching both football and basketball. Margaret Shirk also graduated in 1939, with a business economics degree.
economic studies She said she and her husband rented the barn out to KU groups because they liked students.
"We just do it to have the kids," she said. "We have a big barn with electricity and no animals."
The Shirks don't advertise the barn, but word-of-mouth advertising keeps them busy year-round. Margaret Shirk said their busiest month was October, but groups go out to the barn into the winter and in the spring.
Groups that use the barn range from fraternities and sororities to the scholarship halls to The University Daily Kansan. Some KU groups have held events there for 30 years. Shirk said student groups from Baker and Washburn universities also rented the barn for parties, and they had even begun having wedding receptions there.

"It's just something to help keep the paint up and shingles on it," she said.

Firefighters to express thanks in cross-country bicycle trip
NEW YORK — A group of New York City firefighters set out yesterday on a cross-country bicycle trip to express gratitude for the support they've received since the World Trade Center attacks.
"I'm going to personally say thank you to every person I can," said firefighter Dan Rowan, the trip's organizer, before mounting his bike to begin the first leg of the journey.
The tour, dubbed "Thank You America," will take the firefighters to Georgia before they turn west. They plan to visit 100 firehouses and aim to reach Los Angeles in 33 days — the number of their ladder company.

Bin Laden denies role in anthrax attacks
NATION&WORLD
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Osama bin Laden said he had nothing to do with the anthrax attacks in the United States, and declared he would never allow himself to be captured, in the second part of a newspaper interview published yesterday.
"America can't get me alive," bin Laden was quoted as saying. "I can be eliminated, but not my mission."
Bin Laden granted the interview Wednesday to Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir, who said he was blindfolded and bundled into a jeep in the Afghan capital, Kabul. He said he was driven five hours to a cold, mud hut, where he spoke with bin Laden for two hours.
It was impossible to independently verify Mir's account of the interview.
Mir's newspaper, *Ausaf*, published part of the interview Saturday and included additional excerpts yesterday. Mir, who has written a biography of bin Laden that will be published soon, said the terror suspect declined to answer many of his questions.
iswah many of his questions.
When Mir asked if bin Laden was responsible for the anthrax attacks, he laughed and said: "We don't know anything about anthrax."
FBI officials say there is no direct link between anthrax attacks in the United States and any cell or network, including al-Qaida.

Catholic bishops to elect leader
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is likely to elect its first African-American president during a four-day meeting that begins today.
four-day meeting this week. Diversity will also be the focus, and the group will renew the church's fight against abortion, while proposing a day of prayer for peace as the war in Afghanistan continues.
Bishop Joseph Fiorenza of Texas is finishing his three-year term as head of the group, which serves as the church's national voice on social, political and religious issues.
Bishop Wilton Gregory of Belleville, Ill. now the organization's vice president, is expected to succeed him. Conference vice presidents are traditionally elected president.
The vote is scheduled for tomorrow. The Roman Catholic Church in the United States is 78 percent White, according to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. African-American Catholics have long sought recognition from church leaders.
Estimates of the number of African-American Catholics range from 2 million to 3.5 million, out of 63.7 million nationwide.
They welcome the upcoming election of Gregory as a sign that their voices will be heard.
The bishops also are concerned about serving the growing number of Asian Catholic immigrants. Fiorenza, from Galveston-Houston, estimates 2.6 percent of U.S. Catholics are Asian or Pacific Islanders.
The conference leaders are expected to issue a statement urging Catholics to welcome their Asian brethren and be attentive to their spiritual needs.
spiritual needs.
The bishops will also propose designating Jan. 1 as a National Day of Prayer for Peace as the war on terrorism continues.
Our military response must be guided by the traditional moral limits on the use of force." Fiorenza said in a statement after the U.S. air strikes began Oct. 7. "Military action is always regrettable but it may be necessary to protect the innocent or to defend the common good."
The bishops plan to renew their fight against abortion, human embryo research and physician-assisted suicide.
physician-assisted suicid Fiorenza applauded last week's directive from Attorney General John Ashcroft that doctors who use federally controlled drugs to help terminally ill patients die will face suspension or revocation of their licenses. A federal judge has granted a temporary restraining order barring the directive.
Also, the bishops will be asked to approve amendments to canon law to allow laymen to preach in church under certain circumstances, in part to address the priest shortage and needs of non-English speaking parishioners. The Vatican still must approve any revisions.
Conference leaders additionally plan to discuss new instructions from Pope John Paul II on translating liturgy from the Latin.
Increase in cell-phone use leads to reviewing of bans
WASHINGTON—As students rushed to get in touch with their parents in the anxious hours after the Sept. 11 attacks, Principal Ann Monday decided she had bigger worries than enforcing her school's ban on cellular phones.
school officials to reconsider long-standing bans on cell phones and pagers during school hours.

"Enforcing a cell phone ban was not on our agenda" that day at Robinson Secondary School in Fairway, Va., Monday said. "Taking care of the emotional needs of our students was."
When word spread of an airliner crashing into the Pentagon, just 14 miles away, the phones began appearing everywhere. "The reality was that many kids are carrying around phones, and carrying them around responsibly," Monday said.
Last week, her school district decided to let students carry cell phones, which must be kept off during school hours.
Judy Seltz of the American Association of School Administrators said superin tendents are reporting a "fairly low-key shift toward loosening restrictions since Sept. 11.
Last month, the school board in Montgomery County, Md., voted unanimously to let high school students have cell phones if the devices are turned off during school hours.
Dustin Jeter, a senior at Seneca Valley High School in Girmont, Md., said virtually all of his friends carried cell phones even before the ban was lifted.
"I think it was just a matter of getting in touch with family, letting them know that everything was OK, trying to make plans for where they would be meeting," he said.
White supremacists use attacks as recruitment tool
CHICAGO — White-supremacist groups based in the Midwest are using the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to recruit new members, according to a study by an anti-racism group.
The Center for New Community, a six-year-old faith-based organization in suburban Oak Park, counts 338 "white nationalist" groups in 10 Midwestern states.
Some of them are using images of the burning World Trade Center towers to advocate closing America's borders, the group says in a report titled "State of Hate: White Nationalism in the Midwest 2000-2001."
"These organizations have been responsible for several rallies, public events, distribution of literature and even a few crimes in recent months," said Devin Burghart, who directs the center's Building Democracy Initiative. They're trying to use anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment in the wake of Sept. 11."
Sept. 15 The Center for New Community cites white supremacist groups in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio.

Pacifier helps detect injuries in preemies
Device is part of research done at new laboratory in Haworth Hall
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Steve Barlow held a pacifier that detects brain injuries in premature infants and talked about how it could help keep those injuries from causing serious developmental problems.
Tiny electrodes embedded in the pacifier shield measure brain activity and transmit the readings to a device that protrudes from the back of the pacifier.
"The pacifier is the only thing the baby sees," said Barlow, director of the Communications Neuroscience Laboratories.
The device was designed and built from scratch at the University of Kansas, and a $2.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health will fund testing for it in nearby neonatal units starting in January.
More than 450,000 babies are born prematurely every year. Barlow said. Preemies cannot generate
their own body heat and some do not even have lungs strong enough to breathe. Because they are so fragile, these babies are much more likely to suffer brain injuries.
"Sometimes all it takes is a change of blood pressure," Barlow said.
These injuries, if left undetected can cause long-term difficulties including learning disorders, attention disorders and speech, language, hearing and motor-control problems.
Barlow said doctors in the past have had no way to detect if an injury had occurred except to wait and see if problems developed. These problems persist for a lifetime, but by the time they are detected, it's too late to do anything about them.
Barlow's pacifier device, which he called an Activer, is a solution to this problem. It doesn't use any invasive procedures. Electrodes detect whether brain injury has occurred. Another electrode stimulates the infant's facial muscles. Barlow said the idea behind the exercise was to stimulate neurons and restore damaged pathways in the brain.
"We're the only lab on the planet that does this."
Steve Barlow Directory of the Communications Neuroscience Laboratories
"As the old saying goes, 'The neurons that fire together, wire together.'" Barlow said.
A $1.5 million Communications Research Laboratory opened eight weeks ago in Haworth Hall to do research about the brain and communicative disorders, including the innovative research on the brain development of preemies, Barlow said.
"We're the only lab on the planet that does this," he said.
Shiva Prasad, Hyderabad, India, graduate student, who works in the lab, said the computers humming quietly behind him were some of the most sophisticated and state-of-the-art equipment on the market.
"These are some of the best labs at KU." he said.

Barn: Rented throughout year
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Michelle Burkholder, Alpha Chi Omega social chair, organized the event Saturday night. The Geneva, Ill., junior said the barn, surrounded by empty fields, was a great place for a party.
"You don't have to worry about noise, you've got a ride, you've got security," she said.
Paige Isaacson, All Scholarship Hall Council social chair, said the ASHC visited the barn every year for a barn dance. This year the event was in September. She said she remembered high ceilings. Christmas tree lights hanging from the rafters, and David Shirk helping her set up a feeding trough to put drinks in.
The Theta Chifraternity has two social events at Shirk's barn every year, one in the fall and one in the spring. Collin Zander, Theta Chi social
chair, said the fraternity's Red Ox event in the fall had a country-western theme, which fit in perfectly at the barn.
The Topeka sophomore said students dressed up as cowboys and cowgirls and square danced to country-western music.
Margaret Shirk said she and her husband only rented to organized groups that had someone responsible in charge. If the group makes too much commotion, they can't come back. But the last time that happened, Shirk said, was 25 years ago.
"The groups respect our wishes and we really have no problems." she said. "If we did, we wouldn't do it."
Margaret Shirk wouldn't say how much it cost to rent the barn.

E-mails should replace board of canceled classes
It doesn't take the most up-to-date technology to make a university run smoothly and work conveniently for students. It would be nice, but simple changes can be made to make enrollment easier for KU students.
The University of Kansas does not require individual colleges to notify its students about canceled or rescheduled classes, as many students are finding out this fall during enrollment.
Because of a teacher's time conflict, lack of interest in a class, or similar circumstances, sections can be canceled.
It's unrealistic to expect every student to pass by that sign in Strong Hall. And given the inadequate and time-consuming advising process in so many colleges, it should come as no surprise that many students skip that hassle.
The information regarding these cancellations are posted on an obscure and antiquated board in the back of Strong Hall, and sometimes distributed to students at advising. This is an unacceptable situation.
It isn't until their scheduled day and time of enrollment, after waiting in line, that they find that their class is canceled or rescheduled.
One might argue that this is the student's responsibility to seek this information out, and that it is their own fault for missing it. The student does bear some responsibility.
construct them scheduled Underclassmen might not even understand how enrollment works. It can be extremely frustrating for a new student to deal with a canceled class, when he or she had no idea about the canceled class board at Strong or how to find an adviser.
But one simple solution the University could take would be to require all colleges to use their existing individual mailing lists to inform students of those changes well in advance, before they construct their schedule.
Upperclassmen are counting on the classes on their schedule to be offered so they can stay on track to graduate. A canceled class needed for one's major could become a college-prolonging disaster if it isn't identified quickly.
Granted, online enrollment is supposedly just around the corner, so this need for e-mailed class-cancellations should soon be obsolete.
PERSPECTIVE
But given the University's track record for following on initiatives—for example, plans to eventually build a new recreation center and alleviate crowding in Robinson—and that online enrollment isn't even scheduled to be in place until registration for Spring 2003 classes, sending out e-mail in the interim two semesters is a simple step that could make students' lives a lot easier.
easter. Requiring each college or department to send students a simple e-mail with changes to the course offerings could save students a lot of trouble later on in scrambling to fill up a schedule. This rule should take effect by next semester.

Grassroots recall drive going up against Kansas voter apathy
Weather, the holidays, legal constraints and the American tendency to forget news events are all working against Ronda Hassig. She is a librarian and lifelong Republican who has started a recall drive to oust Republican state senator Kay O'Connor of Olathe.
O'Connor recently said that the 19th Amendment, which grants women the right to vote, was a bad thing. She said that men are the head of the home and women, the heart. If men were doing their duty and taking care of women, women wouldn't need to vote.
women will Hassig's effort is an opportunity for KU students to get involved in grassroots, local politics - and combat the mass voter apathy that got O'Connor elected in the first place.
Hassig reports that apathy is the biggest problem in her signature drive. Her grassroots campaign can get people more interested in politics. It may not be glamorous work, but sometimes real change requires people trudging door to door gathering signatures. Hassig has collected almost 1,000 of them. She needs 3,208 to apply for the petition to recall O'Connor from office. She isn't under any legal deadline to gather the signatures, but wants to get them as quickly as possible, while O'Connor's comments are still fresh in voters' minds.
Assuming she gathers her signatures

opinionkansan.com
Commentary
- and it sounds like she will - she will then have 90 days to gather 14,000 signatures for the petition. The people who signed their names in the first round can sign again in the second round, but somebody would need to collect all those signatures.
That's where Hassig says KU students can help by gathering the signatures of people who have signed the first time. She and her team of more experienced signature-gatherers can go for the other 11,000. "It will be difficult, but we can do it," Hassig said. "I can want this so bad, but I can't do it on my own."
Then the actual recall process could begin. If Hassig can get the 14,000 signatures and the state approves them, a recall election would proceed. The ballot would read simply, "Do you vote to recall Senator Kay O'Connor?" If voters vote to recall O'Connor, the state's 99 precinct committee chairmen would appoint a new senator. Hassig hopes they will get the message and appoint a
moderate Republican.
The recall vote may be the hardest part of the whole process. O'Connor's supporters will all turn out to vote. "They're not the majority," Hassig said. "They just get out and vote."
They have to live in the Ninth District should get home to vote or send in an absentee ballot to recall O'Connor.
As she and her team travel door to door. Hassig finds that many people either don't know about O'Connor's comments or don't care. Many don't sign the petition, she said, because they don't think their signatures will do anything.
In the move to recall O'Connore every signature and vote counts. The larger an election, the less each individual vote will matter. But a vote always counts. A registered voter who didn't bother to vote counts for nothing. So even if you don't help Hassig gather signatures, at least make sure you vote.
Hassig's recall drive has presented us with an opportunity to get even more involved in local and state politics. If you are interested in helping, call Hassig at home at (913) 492-2898 or at workat (913) 681-4819, ore-mail herat hassig@hotmail.com. For students who want to change the world, this may be the place to start.

PERSPECTIVE
Enough with animal rights protests
Animal rights activists get their message out often in the media. Their absurd protests of fashion shows, department stores and fishing boats are almost always front-page news.
Then I saw a front-page article in the Kansan about a group that protested a rodeo. Enough. There needs to be another side of the story -the side that supports animal testing and animal cruelty.
too long.
Groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) are standing in the way of our God-given right to choose products that have been tested on animals, eat our tuna with a few dolphin flakes, and to watch a calf get roped in only 5.2 seconds.
people who do support animal testing and who love watching animals be humiliated for the purpose of entertainment have been hidden behind our fur coats and tortoise-shell glasses for too long.
seconds.
So its time for us to return to our roots — the days when animals were looked at as tomorrow's meal and not as equals. Our group is People for the Consumption or Testing or Wearing of Animals (PCTWA). In this time of high anxiety and paranoia about terrorism, protesting a rodeo hardly seems appropriate.
Commentary
Back in the day, protests used to mean something. People would protest racial segregation, war and deforestation. Now people are stooping so low
Eric Borja Columnist opinionukansan.com
The fact remains that animals have always been and will always be lower on the food chain. So why should they be treated as equals when half the human world isn't even treated in a humane way
as to protest a rodeo. These people who protested the rodeo aren't making the world a better or safer place. They are protesting for the sake of protesting.
Some animal rights activists don't believe animals should be used or exploited for entertainment purposes. Have you seen what we do to humans for entertainment these days? Animals in zoos and ocean parks have much more dignity at the end of a show than someone who was on Temptation Island, The Real World or any movie with Freddie Prinze Jr.
The protest of the rodeo is ironic. Rodeo is a sport in which the animal wins almost every time. This is a sport where the animal is the aggressor and a sport where men die and get seriously injured every year. A cowboy wins when he stays on for eight seconds.
nothing protects my baby soft skin from the bitter Kansas winters better than a Sable fur coat. So tasteless, yet so luxurious and warm. But seriously, the root of the problem in the clothing industry is the fact that children are still being used to make the clothes for pocket change. We should be more concerned about who is making clothing, and under what conditions, than what clothing is made out of.
Then there are those who are against the use of fur in clothes. Come on,
At the root of all this madness is vegetarianism, and the philosophy behind it makes about as much sense as a Jean-Luc Godard film. Vegetarians are denying themselves an essential part of the food pyramid that we all learned back in seventh grade. Animal rights activists believe that humans have a responsibility to live in harmony with our animal friends instead of eating them. For me, bring on the porterhouse and make it rare. People have been eating meat since the beginning of time. It's a part of life.
It's a big and wonderful world out there Sunshine McSoyburger. If you don't like the scenery here in the great animal consuming world of America, think about all those veggieburgers and tofu cakes that you consume and remember that they could have been used to feed some poor cow in South Dakota, instead of yourself.

SALARY: Willing to overpay for overrated big name. But historically, Kansas shows its football coaches the money about as often as Bob Knight controls his anger.

Senior leads Kansas as team defeats Fort Hays State
Jayhawks log first victory of the year
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team discovered its offense but struggled on the boards Saturday afternoon against Division II Fort Hays State.
Although the Jayhawks lost the rebound battle 48-30 to the smaller Tiger team, Kansas pulled out its first victory of the season 72-56.
After a sloppy first half, the Jayhawks led 34-26. Senior KC Hilgenkamp led the offensive charge with 10 points at the break. Senior Nikki White added seven.
"I think the one area that I was really disappointed with for us was our lack of rebounding, particularly with them getting so many offensive boards," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "That's just something we're going to have to work on. Rebounding is just something you either commit to, or it's going to hound you all season long."
"We really were kind of upset with ourselves with it being that close at halftime." White said. "Part of playing at KU is pride, and we have to take pride in not losing, no matter who it's to. We really needed to step up and pull together and try to settle down."
Kansas managed to calm its nerves in the second half as Hilgenkamp took over. She played nearly the entire 20
minutes, finishing with 18 points,
seven assists, seven steals and four
rebounds for the Jayhawks.
"KC is a go-to player." Washington said. "I'm just so glad to see her starting to look for her shot. She's got to this year."
Kansas' bench also provided a significant contribution. Freshman Blair Waltz scored 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting while dishing out two assists and grabbing two rebounds. Sophomore Leila Menguc added seven points, three rebounds and two steals in eight minutes of play.
eight minutes of play.
"Leila just really helps so much," Washington said. "She brings energy in any way she can. Leila found a way to score some. She and Selena (Scott) go to the boards probably as well as anybody we have."
"I put as many players out there as I could, but we're going to find our top eight and live with them." Washington said.
body we have Washington played all 12 players in the game, trying to find the best combination.
Kansas plays Grambling State at 7:05 p.m. Friday at Allen Fieldhouse.
Note: Free State High School graduate and Fort Hays State freshman Katie Rhodes played five minutes for the Tigers, sinking two free throws and grabbing one rebound.

No. 5 Texas topples Kansas, 59-0

AUSTIN, Texas — With 4:16 left in the fourth quarter, official J.C. Leimbach addressed what remained of the 83,111 people at Darryl K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. His voiced boomed as he spoke into the microphone.
Brandon Rideau and the Jayhawks were handed a devastating 59-0 loss by the fifth-ranked team in the county Saturday in Austin Texas.
"Timeout...Kansas," Leimbach bellowed.
"Whyyyyyyyyyyy," he screamed.
Moans and boos rumbled. Fans were restless. Suddenly, a burly man dressed in Texas Longhorn burnt orange cupped his mouth with his hands.
Whyyyyyyyyyy
His words ignited sounds of laughter from his section. The Texas faithful had stuck around to honor its seniors in their last home game, but the game between No. 5 Texas and Kansas had been won long before that.
The pounding began in the first quarter, worsened in the second, grew in the third and continued in the fourth. When the seconds ticked down to zero Saturday, the Jayhawks walked off the field dejected.
Not only had they lost. They had been clobbered, 59-0.
"This is about as bad as it gets," said senior defensive tackle Nate Dwyer, who was limited to just five plays because of a hip injury. "Fifty-nine to nothing. I think that score speaks for itself."
For the third straight week, Kansas' offense was stopped short of the end zone. It was bad Oct.27 when the Jayhawks compiled 212 total yards against Kansas State. Things did not get any better against Nebraska. The

Latest football loss hurts the most
By Jeff Denton
Kansan sportswriter
After a one-yard touchdown plunge, Major Applewhite emerged from a bundle of bodies and trotted toward the student section.
Texas' all-time leading passer thanked his peers by rearing back and chucking the football deep into a sea of orange.
At that moment, the Kansas football team was not only lagging behind the No. 5 team in the country by 45
points, it was being belittled in front of a sell-out crowd on Texas' Senior Day. That helpless feeling stung Kansas as much as the 59-0 score.
"To see Applewhite throw the ball in the crowd, that was really an embarrassing moment for me personally," said senior linebacker Algie Atkinson, who moved into second place on Kansas' all-time sack list with 20.
Kansas senior offensive tackle Justin Hartwig made his 32nd straight start on Saturday.
He has seen his team get blasted 51-
7 by Nebraska, pummeled by Kansas State 40-6 and stymied by Oklahoma 38-10.
Kansas is no stranger to losing. But this game might be the hardest to forget.
"This is the worst loss of the year," said junior defensive tackle Brock Teddleton, who filled in on the defensive line for an injured Nate Dwyer. "Everybody is just down right now. This hurts more than anything."

Cross country fails to qualify at Regionals
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
Unless the Kansas cross country team is selected for an at-large bid into the NCAA championships later this week, it finished its season Saturday at the Midwest Regional championship in Carbondale. Ill.
The women finished eighth in the 23- team field, while the men were ninth out of 24 teams.
Oklahoma State and Minnesota earned the automatic qualifiers for the NCAA championships later this month by finishing in the top two places. Minnesota won the men's team title with Oklahoma State in second. In the women's race Oklahoma State won, followed by Minnesota.
towed by Minnesota.
Thirteen at-large bids will be announced later this week, but with 11 men's and 12 women's national Top-25 teams looking for at-large bids as well, the Jayhawk's season is all but finished.
Coach Stanley Redwine said he expected the Hawks to finish in higher places, but injuries hampered his team's chances.
"It went OK," Redwine said. "I was happy with our effort but I want more."
Assistant coach Doug Clark said the women continued to show improvement at the regional meet, improving their placement from 13th a year ago. They were 20th in both 1998 and 1999.
Freshman Diane Disher led the women, running the six-kilometer race in 22:07.4 for 33rd place. Sophomore Paige Higgins came through with her best performance of the season, setting a personal-best time of 22:10.5 and finishing in 35th place.
Senior Katy Eisenmenger, who led the team throughout the season, suffered a

It might have been the warm California climate that ener gized the Kansas tennis team.
As emphasized by coach Kiliman Waterman, it was impera
Team wins title
tive that Kansas end on a positive note. And this weekend at the Aztec Tennis Invi
tational at San Diego State University, the season was marked with an exclamation point.
A Jayhawk doubles team won the doubles title and a singles player advanced to the championship match.
The sophomore doubles unit of Courtney and Kristin Steinbock rolled through the field, overthrowing two Aztec doubles teams in their home court. The second-seeded team rested through a first round. They retired Tereza Simonyan and Stephanie Chu of Cal State-Northridge, 8-2, and San Diego State's Julie Chindley and Katey Becker, 8-1, to move on to the finals.
This was the second year in a row the Steinbocks advanced in the doubles championship match in this tournament. In the final match, they put down the top-seeded and No.19 team from San Diego State, Silvia Tornier and Lindsey Hedberg, 8-3.
Waterman said she credited
their capture of the doubles title on experience early in the fall season.
"Everyone had a positive ending to this season and it is great to see that we finished so well." Waterman said.
"They learned a lot from the past couple of tournaments and they were just so exciting to watch," she said.
In the singles draw, senior Cheryl Mallaiah almost obtained similar success in San Diego. All four of her singles victories have come without dropping a set. Eighth-seeded Mallaiah beat Loyola Marymount's Georgina Dinham, 6-3, 6-1; San Diego State's Katalina Romero, 6-1, 6-0, and Lindsey Hedberg, 7-6, 6-2; and Cal-State Northridge's Tereza Simonyan, 6-3, en route to the singles championship match. Like the Steinbocks, she took down two Aztecs in their home court. Unlike the Steinbocks, though, she lost in the final match to top-seeded and 46th nationally ranked Silvia Tornier of San Diego State, 6-1, 6-2.
Waterman said this was exactly what the team needed to close out this year.

Men's bowling team ranks sixth in tourney
The Kansas men's bowling team placed sixth out of 44 teams yesterday at the Brunswick Great Lakes Collegiate Team Classic in Lake Zurich, Ill.
The women's team took 10th out of 25 teams.
Allen Emmons' individual average of 205 led the men's team yesterday, day two of the weekend tournament. Tiffany McDurney led the women with 196.
Jason Elliott turned in the men's team second-highest average score with a 197.
Elliott was followed by Jesse James' 191, Mike Keeler's 190, Marc D'errito's 188 and Ryan Ludwig's 187.
On the women's side,
Kristina Boehm, Annetta Manthei and Brenda Morgan each finished with average scores of 181. Kelly Zapf earned a 175 and Nicole Mofqueda scored a 170.

side stitch midway through the race and struggled the rest of the way, running 22:54.7 to finish in 66th place.
"It's just one of those things that breaks you heart because she was set up to be in the Top 20 and she ended up our sixth runner," Clark said.
For the men's team, Junior Mark Menefee led the way, running the 10-kilometer course in 31:43.0 to place 33rd. Senior Charlie Gruber came in one-half of a second later in 34th.
Two runners the Jayhawks had relied upon all season, freshman Chris Jones and senior Brent Behrens, did not compete at full strength and could only manage 107th and 138th places, respectively.
Jones ran the race with an injured leg and Behrens battled illness in the two weeks between the Big 12 Conference championships and the regional meet Saturday. The men's team had struggled with illness and injuries all season.
Knowing the team race would be a tight one, Redwine said the injuries to Jones and Behrens, two of the teams' top-five performers, were critical.
Clark said he wondered what might have been if Behrens was healthy at Saturday's meet.
in earnest. "That guy did an incredible job all year, but he had the worst luck you could imagine," Clark said. "A guy from DePaul he beat at our home meet finished 16th."
Clark said the coaching staff would continue to push the team to improve.
"Coach Redwine and I are demanding people and we expect a lot," he said. "But we're happy with how we're progressing at this point."

Harry Potter makes magic
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Tickets to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone already are vanishing a week before the movie debuts.
Although most box-office outlets decline to disclose totals, they said the tickets were selling faster than any other film this year. In London, theaters have already sold nearly 500,000 advance tickets.
advance tickets,
Kim Holt, spokeswoman for
Movietickets.com, said the Potter
males were already five times
higher than the company's previous
recordholder, Pearl Harbor.
"It's at a historic level," she said.
The $125 million movie, about a mistreated orphan who embarks on an adventure after learning he has magical powers, is set to open Nov. 16. Theaters began selling advance opening-weekend tickets on Nov. 2.
All of the scheduled viewings
are filling up fast, according to Rich King, spokesman for AMC Theatres, which has 2.792 screens in the United States.
screenings in the library "Most advance tickets are bought in pairs, and in this case every time somebody buys tickets it's four to five tickets. That tells us that a whole lot of families are planning to attend the first weekend together," King said.
Intertops, the Internet sports betting site, set 11- to-25 odds that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone will break the $72.1 million three-day, opening-weekend
end together. King sang
Fandango.com, another
online ticket distributor, has been
swamped with requests since
announcing it has seats available.
Fandango spokesman John
Singh said Harry Potter had
already sold far more advance
tickets than either The Mummy
Returns or Pearl Harbor, but he
would not discuss specific numbers.
box-office record set by "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" in 1997. It also set 1-to-2 odds that the film will break or tie the record for fastest to earn $100 million (five days, set by Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace in 1999).
Although some fans for the Star Wars prequel began camping out on the sidewalk for days before it debuted, the increasing availability of advance ticket purchases online and over the telephone has made that unnecessary.
sary.
"Having the opportunity to buy tickets in the comfort of your own home is being very well received. We're having a great turnout, and fans know they're guaranteed a spot on opening day," said Jennifer Maguire Hanson, spokeswoman for National Amusements Inc., which owns 1,100 screens.

Full house sees Kansas fall to 'Huskers
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
KANSAS 3
Nebraska
LAUIRE SISK/KANSAN
By the first serve it was standing room only.
Sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome puts a spike down against a Nebraska double block. Rome led the Javhawks with 12 kills and 11 digs, but Kansas still lost to No.2 Nebraska Saturday night.

The event staff had to turn people away at the doors Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center. No. 2 Nebraska rolled into town, bringing 200 plus fans and an overall record of 22-1 — 15-0 in the Big 12 Conference — with them.
Game one went as could be expected. The Cornhuskers started strong, taking an early 8-3 lead. At 27-12, the Jayhawks made a late charge, scoring six of the next nine points, but lost 30-18.
Game two might have featured the most exciting volleyball Kansas has played all year. The fired-up Jayhawks held a small but impressive lead until the 'Huskers tied it up at 16-16. But more impressively, as soon as Kansas lost the lead, it regained it, going down 18-16 and coming back to lead 20-19.
The 'Hawks and 'Huskers then traded leads to the 25-25 mark. Kansas went on an exciting 4-0 run, on the strength of two combination blocks by sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome and sophomore middle blocker Jordan Garrison and a kill by Rome, to go up 29-25. Just as the Jayhawks thought they had the Cornhuskers, Nebraska went on a 6-0 run to

in game three, the deflated Jayhawks battled, but were handled in much the same fashion as game one, losing 30-19.
Coach Ray Bechard said his team played well but didn't accomplish what it set out to do.
"We did not pass the ball as well as we had hoped to," Bechard said. "That kept us out of what we wanted to do offensively. Our goal was to extend it past three games, and we were just one break away from doing that. Give Nebraska credit for the plays they made."

Bechard said the team was not content with playing well in the loss.
Junior middle blocker Molly Scavuzzo contributed six kills in game two and finished second on the team with nine
"I don't know that you could say that this was a moral victory." Bechard said. "We're not interested in those right now. We're interested in winning that game and extending the match. You don't have too many opportunities to do that against a good team."
Rome led Kansas with 12
kills and a match-high 11 digs.
"Obviously, it's upsetting that we didn't get that second game with how close we were," Scavuzzo said. "But we did play
well and took a good step towards our goal."

Some wary about flying for holiday after crash
Airport security a concern for students flying at Thanksgiving
By Louise Stauffer Special to the Kansan
Some KU students have become anxious about flying during Thanksgiving break in light of yesterday's plane crash in Queens, N.Y., and the events of Sept. 11.
events of departure
Stephanie Launer, Chicago sophomore, said she was nervous about flying into Chicago's O'Hare International Airport., but she said that flying home was her only option.
"I can't drive and spend two days in the car," she said. "I'd definitely consider driving if I had more time. Flying is just a chance you've got to take."
Melanie Weiser, Dallas sophomore, said that yesterday's events had also caused her to worry.
"I just keep hoping and praying that it's not going to get worse as of right now," she said.
Other students plan to change their behaviors during their flights next week because of their fear of flying.
"I'm definitely not going to wear headphones during the flight," said Amy Michel, Chicago junior. "I want to be the first one to hear 'put your hands behind your head.'"
Michet, who is flying into O'Hare for Thanksgiving break, said that she was was scared, but she could do nothing about it.
Not all students are concerned about flying, however.
"I'll just do a crossword puzzle or something to keep myself busy," Michet said.
Kelley Johnson, St. Louis junior, who's flown twice since Sept. 11, said that she would not let recent events affect her trip home. She said that the only concern she had with flying was airport security.
"I don't think that the security is much better at all," she said. "I could have walked through there with a gun and not gotten caught."
Travel agencies in Lawrence said yesterday that customers had expressed little to no concern about flying during Thanksgiving break.
"We have actually had a lot of bookings at the last minute," said Marcia West, travel agent for Sunflower Travel, 800 Massachusetts St.
West said that people were trying to move forward with their lives, despite the events since Sept. 11.
the events she shows. "We'll get a few comments periodically, but nothing more," she said. "I think that family is more important to people right now than worrying about that."
Ruth Nye, manager of Adventure Travel, 544 Columbia Drive, said that they had been booking flights as usual. Her co-worker, Tricia Boeken, said that after the plane crashed yesterday, no customers had called in with cancellations or concerns. Boeken said that she had expected some calls.
"Maybe the customers are going to wait until they know what actually happened before they're going to decide what they want to do," she said.

Another New York tragedy
Airplane crash kills all 255 passengers destroys homes
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A jetliner en route to the Dominican Republic broke apart minutes after takeoff and crashed in a waterfront neighborhood yesterday, engulfing homes in flames and sowing initial fears of a new terrorist atrocity. All 255 people aboard were killed, and six others were reported missing on the ground.
ground.
"It's looking like it's not a terrorist attack," said a senior Bush administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity. If there was an explosion on the plane — and many bystanders heard one — it was probably
caused by a catastrophic mechanical failure, investigators said.
Authorities found one of the two black boxes on board the 13-year-old European-made Airbus A300 and said it would be examined for clues.
American Airlines Flight 587 left Kennedy Airport at 9:14 a.m., 74 minutes late, lifting off into a clear blue sky. It went down three minutes later in the Rockaway Beach section of Queens, a middle-class neighborhood, 15 miles from Manhattan that had lost scores of its people, firefighters and financial workers among them, in the World Trade Center catastrophe just two months ago.
"I just thought, 'Oh, no, not again,'" said Milena Owens, who was putting up Thanksgiving decorations when she heard an explosion.
Furious orange flames towered above the treetops, and a plume of thick, black smoke could be seen miles away
Saud Aziz, 38, said he was raking leaves in front of his home when he looked up, spotted the plane and saw a large chunk of a wing fall off. At that point, he said, the aircraft went into a spiraling dive and set the neighborhood on fire.
"We could feel the heat," he said. "The flames were intense. Even though it was burning, it was weird because it was very quiet."
Other witnesses reported hearing an explosion and seeing an engine and other debris falling off the twin-engine jet as it came down.
An engine was found intact in a parking lot at a Texaco station, missing the gas pumps by no more than six feet; neighbors ran to the scene with garden hoses to put out the fire. Part of a wing appeared to be in Jamaica Bay, just offshore, said Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
"I don't believe there are any survivors at this point," Giuliani said. As of midafternoon, 161 bodies had been recovered, he said.
Six people, all adults, were reported missing on the ground, the mayor said. Four houses were destroyed, four were damaged, and as many as a dozen others sustained lesser damage, Giuliani said.

Dirty rooms and old broken desks are among a few of the problems students deal with in the Art and Design Building. The students said the desks were in such bad condition that they affected the quality of drawings.
Design department in disrepair
Out-of-date classroom conditions lead students to ask for improvements
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Nick Mitchell opened his locker door in one of the first-floor classrooms in the Art and Design Building and pointed to a group of lockers across from his that had no doors.
the classroom harbored old wooden desks covered with graffiti and scratches that Mitchell said made it difficult to draw straight lines on paper. A two-word profanity scrawled across one wall had a piece of aged masking tape covering it.
"That's been broken ever since I've been here," said Mitchell, a Deerfield, ill. senior, in visual communications
piece of aged making He surveyed the other classrooms and labs in the building, gesturing to broken photo equipment, shoddy chairs and dirty work areas.
These conditions, as well as problems with full-time faculty retention in the design department, have spurred students within the art and design program to ask the University administration to
take an active role to improve the educational environment.

Sarah Bray, St. Louis senior, helped organize a petition for visual communications students that called for improvements to the department.
faculty members. Bray said that having Montgomery and Greene at the meeting was a step in the right direction. However, she said she hoped the administration would realize the degree of concern the students had about the dirty working conditions, lack of full-time faculty and worn desks and chairs.
The petition, which was signed by 148 visual communications students, inspired a meeting on Oct. 16. About 75 of the students attended, as well as Toni-Marie Montgomery, fine arts dean; Lois Greene, design chairwoman; and a few faculty members.
Since the meeting, Bray said that some immediate improvements had been discussed.

"That seems like something that could be done pretty easily." Bray said. "If that was addressed, that would be a small, but very important thing that the students could see."
However, she said that so far, getting new desks didn't seem to be a priority for the administration.
Keeping the Faculty
Stephanie Tenpas, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior, studies graphic and industrial design. She said that it had been tough to create any kind of lasting mentorship with the faculty because some of her past professors no longer taught at the University.
According to the budget for the 2001 fiscal year, there were 67 paid faculty positions in the art and design departments. About $3.25 million was allocated to pay their salaries, an average of $48,500 per person.The

“It’s a really inconsistent staff,” Tenpas said. “I think they were unhappy. Salaries is a big part of that.”

Presentation gives students information on anthrax
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
Local health, law enforcement and emergency management representatives told about 25 people last night that information was the best way to combat anthrax.
The presentation, "Anthrax Anxiety: Medical Facts and the KU Strategy," at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union, was sponsored by Student Union Activities and the Student Senate's Student Health Advisory Board.
Advisory Board
Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, gave an overview of the nature and history of anthrax, how big of a problem it is and how KU health professionals would deal with any positive cases.
Strother said one of the most important things to know about anthrax was that it was easily contained.
"It is almost impossible to use as a weapon of mass destruction," Strother told the audience. "We're seeing it being used as individual criminal acts."
Chris Keary, assistant director of KU Public Safety, said the University has had an emergency plan in place since 1996 that was a guideline for situations such as natural disasters or demonstrations.
"This is a good opportunity for us to sit down and think about how we would react to the anthrax scare," Keary said.
Reilly said.
Paula Phillips, director of the Douglas County Emergency Management office, said local officials would go through a mock situation at the beginning of next year to test their ability to handle a variety of situations, including an anthrax outbreak.
Phillips said the county's emergency plan covered responsibilities of law enforcement, emergency response, medical and mental health treatment.
Jen McAllaster, Lyons senior and member of the Student Health Advisory Board, said even though the media was starting to leave the topic of anthrax, it was still an important issue.

"People still aren't sure what the facts are," McAllaster said. "Hopefully, this will help calm their fears."

Plane escorted to airport after no response from crew
DENVER — A United Airlines plane with 90 people aboard was escorted by military jets to Denver International Airport, where it landed without incident yesterday morning.
The Federal Aviation Administration ordered the escort after Flight 1145 failed to respond to an inquiry, said United Airlines representative Chris Braithwaite.

TRENTON, N.J. — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is testing the blood of a New Jersey physician who thinks he might have contracted skin anthrax in the first week of September.

Astronauts venture out, test space station crane
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — An American astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut ventured out on a spacewalk yesterday to hook up cables and to test a crane on the International Space Station.

It was the first spacewalk for station commander Frank Culbertson — and almost certainly his last. His four-month mission is nearing an end, and if he ever returns to space, it will be in his old shuttle piloting job.

Space station Alpha was soaring 250 miles above the Pacific when Culbertson emerged in a bulky white spacesuit, nearly an hour late.

"Like I thought, the ladder is a problem here." Culbertson told his space walking partner, Vladimir Dezhurov. "It's hard to get past the ladder, but I'll keep working at it."
Culbertson was assigned most of the exterior work: routing seven antenna cables for the Russian docking system and inspecting a Russian solar wing that never fully deployed.

Journalists killed by Taliban fire

KHWAJA BAHUADDIN, Afghanistan — Two French radio reporters and a German magazine journalist were killed when they came under Taliban fire while traveling with Northern Alliance forces, their employers and colleagues said yesterday.

Bernin. The three were thought to be the first foreign journalists killed in Afghanistan since the war began on Oct. 7.
Levon Sevunts, a Canadian journalist with the Montreal Gazette, said they had been invited to accompany Northern Alliance troops inspecting Taliban trenches reportedly
captured by the alliance near Taloqan.
The journalists were traveling on an armored personnel carrier when the Taliban opened fire with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. The blast threw some of the journalists off the vehicle, reporters said.
Paul McGeough, a correspondent for Australia's Sydney Morning Herald who was in the group, said in a dispatch published yesterday that the Northern Alliance commanders had told the journalists the Taliban had left the trenches.
Opposition forces said Sunday they had captured Talaqan, the capital of Takhar and their former headquarters. The Taliban denied the city had been overrun.
"When we got there, they had not surrendered," McGeough said.
Court allows firing of teacher for repeated drunken driving
NATION
PHILADELPHIA-A teacher at a drug and alcohol treatment facility convicted three times of drunken driving can be fired for immoral conduct, a state appeals court ruled.
The Commonwealth Court said officials were justified in firing Nancy J. Zelino.
The state education chief backed the firing, citing a state law on teacher immorality and intemperance.
Zelno, 44, pleaded guilty two years ago to drive under the influence, her third offense. Upon learning of the conviction, officials at the facility near Gettysburg, Pa., dismissed Zelno, saying her conduct was a bad influence on students

Workers, visitors screened at Sears Tower for safety
CHICAGO — Employees and visitors at the Sears Tower will be screened with metal detectors and have their bags X-rayed as part of increased security at the nation's tallest building.
The X-ray baggage scanners made their debut yesterday in the tower's two main lobbies, where metal detectors will be operating in a week.
In a memo to the building's 125 tenants, officials from TrizecHahn Corp., the building's management company, said anyone failing to comply with the measures will not be allowed inside.
Long lines formed yesterday morning as workers and visitors waited for their baas to be X-rayed.
Mark Spencer, a representative for TrizecHahn, said federal authorities have not warned of any "specific or credible" threat against the 110-story tower. Its observation deck reopened last month.

Students volunteer meet every week for dinner

When this semester ends, two members of the community will move out. The Rev Thad Holcombe said students who wanted to live in the community could fill out an application at ECM.
Holcombe said that once people moved into the community they were required to volunteer three hours a week at ECM, in addition to setting up a weekly meal to talk with other residents of the community.

Representatives from the parking department will be present at the hearing to provide explanations for concerns.

Greek Endeavor breaks down housing barriers
Retreat counters stereotypes before freshmen form them
This year the Greek Endeavor took a positive extra step toward breaking down stereotypes in campus housing. The endeavor is an annual leadership retreat for new students at the University of Kansas. It was at Camp Chippeawa in Ottawa this weekend.
This year, for the first time, scholarship halls, residence halls, and fraternities and sororities from the National Pan-Hellenic Council, historically minority organizations, were invited along with the fraternities and sororities from the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association. About 150 freshmen attended this past weekend.
Two co-chairpeople from the greek community, Amy Rhoades and Tom Wait, organized Greek Endeavor. "The purpose was to breakdown stereotypes and provide leadership training for freshmen," said Rhoades. Rhoades thought it would be beneficial to invite other involved living organizations on campus.
The new members checked in to the Union on Friday night at 6:30 and were placed into groups with two facilitators each. The facilitators, one male and one female, were juniors and seniors.
Throughout the weekend, the freshman's "identity," whether it was a scholarship hall hall residence, greek member, or member of residence hall, was a secret. This eliminated the chance to apply stereotypes of the different organizations. On Sunday, the freshman's identity was revealed.
Friday night consisted of a scavenger hunt, getting to know group members, and winning prizes.
On Saturday, all of the groups went to Camp Chippeawa for trust games, seminars, and presentations by Associate Vice Chancellor Barbara Ballard, Dean of Students Richard Johnson, and Reuben Perez from the Organizations and Leadership office. Justin Mills, student body president, also spoke to the freshmen about opportunities to get involved with Student Senate. The participants stayed at Camp Chippeawa Saturday night and returned to Lawrence on Sunday morning.
Molly Mueller for the editorial board
Horner said, "Some people were personally insulted at some point in the weekend because of others not knowing which group they were a member of...It was very interesting."
Samantha Horner, Leawood freshman, and a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority said, "It was a great learning experience." Horner was pleased with the speakers and appreciated learning about all the opportunities KU has to offer students to become involved.
Greek Endeavor was funded by Greek Programs. It was appealing for freshmen because it was free, a great way to meet people, and an effective way to break down stereotypes among different groups on campus.
PERSPECTIVE
Paying GTAs fairly could be one thing Kansas does right
The single greatest asset to learning at the University of Kansas is its graduate teaching assistants. As Amy Cummins pointed out in her recent column, GTAs not only lead discussion sections, provide homework assistance, and make and grade tests, they also teach many classes autonomously including mandatory classes such English 101 and 102.
GTAs are at the front lines of teaching at the University and are directly responsible for the quality of education that most first-and second-year students receive. The GTAs are the heart and soul of the University of Kansas.
It is unacceptable that the administration will not recognize the needs of GTAs. It is certainly not asking too much for the GTAs to request higher wages, especially when their salaries pale in comparison to those of similar universities. It is not as though they are greedy - GTAs aren't involved in teaching for the money. They are simply asking for enough money to survive on, and the salary of $8,500 per year that some GTAs receive is not enough to get by.
What is even more important to the GTAs than the actual monetary benefits of a raise is the gesture of appreciation it symbolizes. GTAs work the longest hours and do the most work of anyone at the University. Not only do they

assist and teach classes, but they take classes as well. They have to juggle the life of both a student and teacher at once. The last thing these people should be worrying about is whether they have enough money to pay next month's rent.
GTAs are the most enthusiastic and passionate people on campus because they are in the prime of their academic lives, but if they have to constantly worry about money, then they will not have the energy to effectively teach their students.
This decreases the quality of education that KU students receive. GTA's are one good thing the University has.
Why are GTAs the only thing KU has going for it? Well, let's take a look at some examples: 1. The University continues to drop in academic ratings every year. 2. Our administration pays the salaries of coaches on faculty that lead teams that embarrass our school and students pay a $20 non-revenue sports
fee. 3. Our administration overlooks the fact that the men's tennis and swimming teams were cut in the name of saving money last year, even though they spent more on a new athletics director than the amount it would have cost to have kept the teams alive. 4. Our helpful parking department would rather spend countless hours handing out tickets instead of finding solutions for the ever increasing traffic and parking problem. 5. The University still doesn't have online or telephone enrollment, a service that most other university students have enjoyed for decades. 6. The different schools that make up KU don't communicate or work together very well, if at all. This is evident if anyone has had to make 12 trips around campus just to get their permit to enroll ready for enrollment. So I ask the administration, what exactly does KU have going for it?
The bottom line is that the KU administration must compensate the GTAs fairly for the value they bring to this University. The GTAs are key in making this school what it is, and everyone, not just the administration, should recognize this.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PAYING GTAS WITH FOLIAGE
Dear editor.
Beckendorf. "Pleasant weather." "Great live music." "Friendly professors." And, of course, "KU basketball."
All reasons to come to KU, I was told during my visit in 2000. All true, I've discovered.
Then I moved here. And bills came due. And guess what? I can't pay bills with school spirit. I need to go to the eye doctor and the dentist this month, and, since KU GTAs' health care doesn't include dental or vision, I will have out-of-pocket expenses near $600—two-thirds of my monthly income. Pretty leaves, not money, grow on trees, but doctors won't accept foliage as payment.
KU's compensation for my work as a GTA was significantly less than the compensation I would receive if I went to any other school I was considering for my graduate education, but, hey, I figured, money doesn't buy happiness. I can live on $3,000 less if I get to live in lovely, lively Lawrence, I thought. I was enticed by the school spirit and the fall foliage, just as Chancellor Hemenway described at the Open Forum.
If KU administrators expect outstanding graduate students to continue coming here, they need to learn what I did: You can't live on weather, music, friendliness and basketball.
KU HOCKEY COVERAGE
Rebecca Barrett Lancaster County, PA graduate student
Dear editor,
I wish your paper would pay a little more attention to the club sports teams at KU These teams and players work hard and play hard while still representing the University. I am a member of the ice hockey team. We just had two great victories against Southwest Missouri State in Springfield. The first game, Nov 2, we won 6 to 3, and Nov. 3, 1 to 1, which is an outrageous score for hockey games. We outshoot the team 71 to 22, which is also a accomplishment deserving recognition.
Dear editor.
We work hard for the school, not just to play or kill time or relieve stress. Some of us take this very seriously and still wear the KU colors and name, but without all the attention. The simple fact is most people at KU don't even know we have a hockey team. I think it's time something is done about this.
Andy Mosley Lawrence freshman
ALLEN FIRING
Dear editor,
Deal editor,
I just would like to point out to the University of Kansas' big shots how much class, or lack thereof, they had in firing Terry Allen. Yes, it should have been done, but not in the middle of a season. That is the most disrespectful thing KU could have done to a person who has shown nothing but respect for KU, his players and staff. I know of no
one else who could have coached this team with the grace Allen did throughout five pretty lousy seasons.
I know people want results, but what good will it do the team to fire him now? Nothing. They can't get to any bowls this year, so what is their reason for doing this now?
To show our disappointment, I suggest all students and alumni boycott the rest of the games this year to show KU that we will not tolerate disrespect to coaches and players, no matter how bad the team is. Maybe, KU might listen to dollars and cents!

Faculty: Students say turnover hurts teaching
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
music and dance department had 81 paid faculty positions with $4.3 million allocated to its faculty salaries. The faculty for the music and dance department averaged about $4,500 more in annual earnings per faculty member compared with the art and design faculty.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost, said that the amount faculty members were paid depended on several factors, including the market values of the subjects taught, department evaluation of teaching performance and funding from the state.
"Classically, fine arts has the lowest salaries," Eakin said. "All salary increases are merit based."
Vickie Hamilton-Smith, director of communications for the School of Fine Arts, said that the search to fill vacant teaching positions was being addressed.
Five tenure track teaching positions are open in the design department, according to the design department Web site.
However, she said that finding qualified individuals was important and that the process shouldn't be rushed.

"New hires could be announced by the end of spring semester since the starting date for these faculty positions is August," Greene said in the email. "New faculty will need the summer months to relocate to Lawrence and begin course preparations."
Patrick Dooley, associate professor of design, said that he was the only remaining tenured professor in graphics. He said that students would be able to take part in the hiring of new faculty by having a student representative at the search committee and by coming to public presentations organized by individuals interviewing for the faculty positions.
"We're not letting the students do the hiring." Dooley said. "But we're at least listening to their input."
Conflicting Priorities
Stephanie Tenpas, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior, said that Montgomery may be the fine arts dean, but her loyalties seemed to be rooted in the music department.
"Look at Murphy Hall; they got so much at once," Tenpas said. "She can't just focus her attention on one area. I want to know that something is going to happen, and that has to come from the dean."

She added that $1 million was given to the art and design department for "crumbling classroom monies" during construction of Murphy Hall. She said that the money went toward creating studio spaces, improving ventilation in some places and renovating the common shop.
She said that she didn't think that Montgomery favored the music and dance department over the art and design departments.

Andi Witczak, assistant professor of design, said that she had been on a leave of absence but
"The dean has a lot of decisions that she has to deal with." Witzczak said. "It's too simplistic an argument to say that she's biased toward music and dance."
The art and design department was ranked 35th by U.S.News and World Report in 1997. No new rankings on art and design schools have been released since.

Despite the lingering complaints about the art and design department, many students remain positive that changes will be made to improve the program.
improve the program. Sarah Bray said that she didn't want to point fingers at anyone for the problems.She said that even though the faculty base was stronger when she started in the school, she had confidence that the empty positions would be filled and that the administration would work with students more in the future.
"I have full faith in Lois Greene," Bray said. "I think on both ends it's going to take patience and dedication."
Greene said in the e-mail that there would be positive changes to the rooms in the art and design building that she thought students would appreciate.
"The department of design has wonderful students who obviously care about the department and their education," Greene said in the e-mail. "I'm delighted that we're able to have open discussion and work together to resolve differences."
Nick Mitchell said he wasn't ready to give up on the program
and that it felt good to make it as far as he had. He said that he trusted that the administration would eventually adhere to the students' concerns.
"I think the reason that people do this is because it's pretty hard to get through the program." Mitchell said. "You know what
everybody's going through because you're going through it yourself."

Relatives of passengers crowded Santo Domingo's airport, sobbing and grasping each other after hearing about the crash.
"Oh my God!" said Miriam Fajardo crying after being told that her sister and three nephews were aboard. "I hadn't seen them in eight years. Now they're gone."
The rectory of St. Francis de Sales, one block from the crash site, was used as an emergency command center. Its pastor, Monsignor Martin Geraghty, was called away to bless bodies.

"Right now they're just recovering bodies," he said. "The FBI is looking for evidence, and the priests are down there consoling firemen."
Thirty-five people were treated for injuries at the hospital — mostly rescue workers, firefighters and police. All were hurt not in the crash but in the aftermath with most of them suffering smoke inhalation.
The city, which was already on high alert because of the Trade Center catastrophe in lower Manhattan, reacted immediately. Fighter planes patrolled the skies; bridges, tunnels and all three major airports were closed for a time; the Empire State Building was evacuated.

WICHITA — Everything from free child care for those looking for jobs and help paying for health care is being planned for thousands of people expected to be laid off by aircraft manufacturers here.
The help is being coordinated through Mayor Bob Knight's Economic Response Initiative, which brought together business, government and social service agency leaders to keep workers in the community and rebuild the local economy.
It was organized in early October after several aircraft manufacturers in Wichita announced they would lay off more than 4,000 people by the end of this year and 3,000 more next year.
The group already has plans for a one stop social service center that will be open Dec. 17 and other days if needed. Laid off workers will be able to go to one place to do everything from arranging utility payment plans to learning how to look for a new job.
The group already has received some good news on the economic development front. FlightSafety International plans to expand its Wichita Cessna Learning Center, which is expected to add up to 50 jobs, and Cessna Aircraft Co.'s plans to build a Citation jet service center, creating 500 jobs.

But city council member Joe Pisciolette,
who is heading Knight's initiative, said the
new jobs would not be available for a while
and are not equal to the jobs being cut.
"There's still the same sense of urgency," Pisciote said. "We just want to be absolutely certain that the community's able to respond. We need to make sure the labor pool doesn't leave."
sure the labor poor does best. Besides utility and job search help at the one-stop social service center, health care providers are working on a program that will give laid-off workers access to doctors and hospitals. And the Kansas Foodbank will send a box of food home with those visiting the center.

Opposition forces near capital city
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — Opposition forces broke through Taliban front lines yesterday and pushed to the gates of the capital, Kabul, after a string of stunning victories in northern Afghanistan. The ruling Islamic militia deployed tanks at entrances to the city, fearing an all-out assault.
Shouting "God is great," anti-Taliban troops rolled within-12 miles of Kabul on trucks carrying the green, white and black Afghan flag and displaying pictures of their slain commander, Ahmed Shah Massoud.
The anti-Taliban forces, a coalition of factions and ethnic groups, capped their four-day dash across the north by overrunning western Afghanistan's biggest city, Herat.
Commanders said they were pushing toward Kunduz, the last Taliban-held city in the north.
The Taliban said its lines had collapsed around Kabul but said it would fight for the capital.
"It is true that the opposition breached our front line near Kabul, but we have erected another one and are strengthening our position," said Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban ambassador to neighboring Pakistan.
Haron Amin, a Washington-based envoy for the Northern Alliance, said yesterday that the anti-Taliban forces would try to surround Kabul to prevent the Taliban from reinforcing or resupplying its troops inside.
At the United Nations, the United States, Russia and six nations that border Afghanistan pledged "to establish a broad-based Afghan administration on an urgent basis."
"We have no intention of going into Kabul," Amin said.
The United Nations must first come up with a plan for dividing power in Afghanistan after the Taliban falls, he said.
The aim is to put together a transitional leadership that is broadly acceptable, possibly including Taliban defectors. The
United Nations might take interim control of the capital, and Muslim and non-Muslim nations are likely to join with Turkey in providing peacekeepers, U.S. officials said.
Likely participants with Turkey in a combined peacekeeping force from Muslim and non-Muslim countries include Indonesia, Bangladesh and Jordan, U.S. officials said.
The Taliban losses followed an intensive bombing campaign by the United States, and some of the militia's commanders switched sides once the opposition forces gained momentum.
The Taliban admitted their lines had collapsed around Kabul — where the front had been stalemated for years — but said they would fight for the capital.
President Bush launched the air campaign on Oct. 7 after the Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, prime suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.
"We have decided to defend Kabul," the Taliban ambassador to neighboring Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef, said in Islamabad.
"It is true that the opposition breached our front line near Kabul, but we have erected another one and are strengthening our position."
The opposition claimed Taliban forces were fleeing Kabul. However, according to reporters in the city, there was no sign of any mass exodus, though a few senior Taliban officials appeared to have left.
Gen. Rashid Dostum, a northern alliance commander, said an opposition force of up to 300 fighters was ready to enter Kabul on Tuesday to "maintain order."
Dostum, speaking from the newly captured northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif, told Turkey's private NTV television that the main body of opposition forces would hold off from entering the capital
Bush remembers veterans, soldiers
The Associated Press
Actor Ron Silver methodically read the names of each country that lost citizens in the Sept. 11 attacks.
He said the attacks deepened the nation's debt to soldiers who fought abroad and police and firefighters who served at home.
The speech. Bush's first Veterans Day address as president, constituted his only public remarks on the final day of his two-day U.N. visit.
He met privately with the presidents of South Africa, Argentina and Colombia before attending a U.N. ceremony at the site of the collapsed twin towers in lower Manhattan.
NEW YORK — President Bush, touring the World Trade Center's smoking rubble two months after the suicide hijackings, called on Americans to remember "the terrible harm that an enemy can inflict," as they reflected anew on the sacrifices of their military.
An honor guard carried each country's flag and planted it in attack.
At the Veterans Day breakfast, Bush said the attacks rekindled respect for police and firefighters.
"Whenever an American hears the word police or fire, we think differently." Bush said. "We think differently about those who go to work every single day to protect us and save us and comfort us."
"The great purpose of our great land ... is to rid the world of evil and terror," Bush said at the breakfast as he thumped the lectern.
stanchions set in front of the dignitaries.
"I can hear you." Bush told hundreds of weary rescue workers in one of the more memorable moments of his presidency. "The rest of the world heys you, and the people who knocked these building down will hear all of us soon."
It was Bush's first visit to Ground Zero since Sept. 14, when he wadded into the ruins with a bullhorn in one hand and an American flag in the other.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 15).
You sure are powerful this year.
That's good because you have some big choices to make.
Should you move or stay? Renovate? Redecorate? Maybe a new coat of paint? Finish up the projects you've got going, then get really creative. Make your home close to perfect.
SCORPIO
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 4. Sometimes you like to be in front of the roaring crowds, to be the star of the show. Sometimes you like to be backstage where nobody can see you, and that's just as it should be. There are things that should only be done in private, like counting money.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. You're an excellent listener, and that's a talent you'll put to good use. Your mate or partner is running into one frustration after another. You could offer good advice, but you'd be wiser to let the other person do most of the talking. Let him or her figure it out.
G
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Resist temptation for one more day. Don't
schedule outings, meetings or even lunch
with friends. Save it all for Friday. You'll have
your hands full keeping up with groun
work. The money is good so stick with it.
2
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
If you've recently made a major purchase, you may have some explaining to do. You shouldn't be in too much trouble, though. Love rules, starting tonight. None of that other stuff matters.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Invest in your own education. The more you learn, the more problems you'll encounter. These are called "growing pains." Get used to 'em.
tii
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5.
The more you learn, the more powerful
you become. There's a real puzzle to be
solved. It might take a while, so be
patient. Give it until Friday.
Crab
LAWEN
舞蹈
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6.
Tie up lose ends, and do the sorting and filing. You don't want to lose important papers under a stack of magazines. Some things you've been saving can be discarded to make more room. Make that your next project.
LA JUSTICIA
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
You could get a lot more done if you weren't dragging that anchor around. What is it? Something you need to express? Something you're worried about? You prefer action to talk, but you can't take action until tomorrow, so maybe you should talk.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
The more you learn, the more questions arise. The more you complete, the more there is to do. Is there no end to this mystery? The path to take should become obvious tomorrow.
Scorpion
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
You're getting luckier, so don't despair
when a couple of things you try don't work
out. You're a master at rising above adversity,
and you can do it again. You can also
teach a friend through your example.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5.
There will be some sort of a test, possibly an oral exam. You'll be given the chance to prove you know what you're talking about. Better collect the stats you'll need
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 6.
Travel is a mess. Don't even mail any packages. They're liable to get lost, too.
Information or checks you are expecting will probably be delayed. Best to stay where you are, preferably at home. Catch up on your reading.

Fans adapt to McGwire's retirement
Cardinals' slugger cites health in decision
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — In a city where baseball fans tend to bleed Cardinal red, heroes often are the big stars — few bigger than Mark McGwire, the red-headed slugger with even a short, local stretch of Interstate 70 in his name.
Now McGwire says he's retiring, leaving many disappointed after a career that included 4 1/2 homer-filled seasons in a city that embraced him — never more than in 1998 when his 70 home runs smashed the single-season mark and revived the game.
"Everyone was just so happy when he came to the plate," said 23-year-old Steve Hochlander in the Cardinals Clubhouse team apparel shop he manages in Union Station. "It just won't be the same."
Such was the prevailing separation anxiety yesterday among Cardinals fans digesting life without Big Mac, forearms rippling, digging into the Busch Stadium batter's box and sending a pitch into orbit.

year-old Levester Regans Sr., a lifelong Cardinals fan. "It won't feel bad until the season starts, and he's not there."
"Whether he was at peak performance or not, people still came to see him play," said Earl Niemeyer, a 37-year-old banker from Bowling Green, Mo.
When it came to retirement, McGwire for months tried to soften the blow to fans, strongly hinting last season that his playing days were numbered. Now, McGwire walks away from a $30 million, two-year contract extension he agreed to in
spring training but never signed
"I believe I owe it to the Cardinals and the fans of St. Louis to step aside." McGwire said in a statement Sunday night, "so a talented free-agent can be brought in as the final piece of what I expect can be a world championship-caliber team."
Fans yesterday were quick to suggest McGwire's successor on the Redbirds roster - Jason Giambi, a protege from his playing days in Oakland.

"Why fear it? You're going to go out and play it." Stoops said yesterday during the weekly Big 12 coaches conference call.

For No. 3 Oklahoma (9-1, 5-1),
there would be plenty to gain,
but first the Sooners have to get there.
A loss Saturday at Texas Tech (6-3, 4-3)
would open the South Division for Texas (9-1, 6-1), which has lost to only Oklahoma this season.
The Sooners aren't expected to lose either of their games at Tech or Oklahoma State (2-7, 0-6), but even if they did, the Longhorns would not necessarily walk into the title game. They still have to visit Texas A&M (7-3, 4-5) Nov. 24.

On the other hand, Stoops said beating Kansas State in last year's title game kept the Sooners undefeated and prepared them for the Orange Bowl, where they beat Florida State.
"Going into the national championship game we had already had our season on the line," he said. "We had known what that felt like."

Texas slips in BCS rankings despite win streak
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas wiped out Kansas 59-0 and still slipped a spot yesterday in the Bowl Championship Series standings. It's exactly what the Longhorns expected.
It also didn't bother them a bit.
If also didn't matter "It really doesn't matter right now," said wide receiver Roy Williams. "There's a lot of games left. It's not the final product. Is it fair? I don't know."
"The Rose Bowl is still out there," he said.
the Said
Ranked No. 5 in the Associated Press Top 25, Texas (9-1) fell one spot to No. 6 in the latest BCS standings as Oregon and Florida both leaped over the Longhorns with wins against UCLA and South Carolina.
ohma:
"It's still early," said Texas coach Mack Brown. "Right now, it is not a factor. If we beat Texas A&M it's a factor. To our team, it's 1-2 that matters ... I don't think it will discourage them today."
and while Texas may be playing as well as anybody in the country during a five-game winning streak, a relatively weak schedule has worked against the Longhorns in recent weeks. Colorado (8-2) was the only opponent with a winning
record during the Longhorns' streak.
The Longhorns' schedule was ranked as the nation's 51st toughest by BCS calculations. Besides a 14-3 loss to Oklahoma back in early October, Texas has dominated that schedule with the nation's second-best defense and an offense that leads the Big 12 with 41.2 points per game.
game.
But the big wins haven't helped.
Texas stayed at No. 5 in the BCS for two weeks before yesterday's ratings.
"I strongly feel that we are one of the best teams in the country," said senior linebacker D.D. Lewis. "I
don't think there's any comparison to the way we've dominated the field."
Most troubling for Texas in the next few weeks will be the rule that prevents three teams from the same conference from playing BCS games. Nebraska and Oklahoma are both ranked ahead of Texas in the BCS.
Because of its win against Texas, Oklahoma has the inside track to the Big 12 title game, most likely against the Cornhuskers. The Texas will probably have to count on the Sooners to lose that game to get into the BCS.
Air Jordan nabs more air time on three networks
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — No matter how bad the Washington Wizards might be, the presence of No. 23 makes them a TV draw this season.
Turner Sports added two more of Washington's games to its schedule yesterday, bringing to seven the number of extra appearances Michael Jordan's new team will have on TBS and TNT.
on DBS and TV. The NBA's TV rights allow for each team to have a maximum of 15 games on Turner and 11 on NBC during the regular season. Before Jordan officially announced his return from retirement, Turner was scheduled to air one Wizards game, NBC none.
The additions of a Dec. 12 home game against Miami and a Dec. 26
road game against Charlotte — both on TNT — mean the Wizards (2-5) now are slated for eight Turner telecasts.
NBC added Wizards games on Nov.3, Dec.1 and Jan.19.
The Associated Press
The networks hope Jordan's presence boosts interest in the NBA, which has had ratings declines each regular season since he left the Chicago Bulls in 1998.
The ratings for the three Wizards games Turner has shown this season, including one that went up against Game 5 of the World Series, have been 35 percent higher than Turner's overall ratings through seven games.
LOS ANGELES — The Lakers admit they're not playing like a team off to a 6-0 start, which makes them more encouraged about winning a third consecutive NBA championship.
consecutive NHL rosters Coach Phil Jackson was among the many who had predicted a slow start. Among the reasons: Shaquille O'Neal's extra pounds and recovery from toe surgery, offseason operations on Derek Fisher and Mark Madsen; and several new players on the roster.
But the Lakers have shrugged it all off to record the third-best start in franchise history and are five victories away from tying their best-ever start of 11-0 in 1997-98. They beat the Orlando Magic 108-95 Sunday night.
"We feel very confident because
we didn't play good. We didn't execute our offense as well as we should have, but that's going to come," Kobe Bryant said. "There's a lot of things execution-wise that we have to get in sync."

Bryant scored 28 points in 33 minutes Sunday, despite a bloody and swollen nose from an accidental hit. O'Neal leads the NBA in scoring with a 30.7 point average, and Bryant is next at 28.5.

Photographer to aid Afghans
The Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M. — Sadaf Rassoul Cameron, a descail of Afghan kings, has never seen Afghanistan. The refugee camp northwest of Peshawar, where she stayed in 1998, was the closest she got.
"We cried together for our country," the photographer said in an interview at the EVO Gallery in Santa Fe, where her work will be shown through early December. Proceeds of the show go to aid Afghan refugees, she said.
Cameron, a 21-year-old student born in Santa Fe, found prize-winning photography and her roots in the rocky foothills of the Hindu Kush.
The camp was not as strange and exotic as one might expect, she said. The adobe architecture with its wooden beams is reminiscent of the Spanish-adapted Pueblo style prevalent in Santa Fe. And as among many New Mexico Indian tribes, Afghan
"A lot of the Afghan girls 12 and over would do rug-weaving to make money for their families." Cameron said.
women are trained in weaving and other crafts.
Many refugees had horror stories, she said, like the woman who lost two sons in a bombing that occurred before the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"They were killed by a bomb that fell on a market," Cameron said, and the horrified mother found a hand from one son and a foot from the other.
foot troubled. Cameron's hosts did not know of her connection with Afghanistan's past kings, she said.
Cameron's mother fled Afghanistan when Soviet troops invaded in 1978. She moved to Santa Fe, where Sadaf was born.
Cameron, whose photos of Afghanans won the Award of Distinction from the College of Santa Fe and the Thaw Art History Travel Fellowship, said her goal was to do her art and to benefit the world.
"You go into a culture, and you immerse yourself in it," she said.
The imagery produced from this slower steeping tells more about a people than can be created with daily deadlines, she said.
safe.
The image that won Cameron the fellowship was of a woman going out a door, heading for the market in a chador, the head-to-toe covering required by the Taliban. The camera's point of view is through a half-shrouded window.
Spirit Sign Contest
James Enyear, photography professor at the College of Santa Fe. describes Cameron's work as both emotionally and artistically mature.
"She has an ability to see in a very unique way the historical heritage embedded in a contemporary vision of individuals and society in general." Enyeart said.

Floodman: Freshman tries to fill big shoes
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
tackles. On one of his stops, he stormed into the Texas backfield, corralled Longhorns running back Cedric Benson and flung him to the ground. Despite his strong play, the humble Floodman refused to accept praise after the game. He focused more on what went wrong for his team than what he had accomplished.
"How I perform doesn't make a difference," Floodman said. "We lost. I could perform horribly and we could win, and I would be much happier than I am right now. I try to go out there and play as hard as I can, but like I said, Marcus Rogers has some big shoes to fill."
If Rogers is unable to play in
Kansas' last two games — against Iowa State and Wyoming — interim coach Tom Hayes said he knew he could trust Floodman to get the job done. Hayes was impressed with how his freshman adjusted to being thrown into the game and how Floodman blossomed against a tough team in an intimidating atmosphere.
“When we lose a starting middle linebacker like we did, and we put a pure freshman out there and to watch him run and chase and play like he did, I am pleased with Banks,” Hayes said. “He's got a big ole' heart on him. He's going to be a great player at some point in time in his career.”

SYDNEY, Australia — Andre Agassi needed some extra time to warm up in his first match since becoming a dad.
The Associated Press
Agassi's wife, Steffi Graf, gave birth to son Jaden Gil last month.
Agassi lost the first two games yesterday then came back and beat Patrick Rafter 6-2, 6-4 on the opening night of the season-ending Tennis Masters Cup.
"Very few things in your life you cherish so much," Agassi said. "I would be lying to say that it hasn't been a time of focusing on other things, but... I have maintained my fitness and my preparation and it is really motivating.
"I'm in a different chapter in my life, and I'm anxious to see how things develop for me. I doubt I'll be able to do this long enough that my boy will get to see me play, but it sure is nice to dream a little bit about that."
Agassi starts slow but emerges victorious
After falling behind 0-2. Agassi won six consecutive games and took the first set in 27 minutes.
No. 2 Lleyton Hewitt beat No. 7 Sebastien Grosean 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. Hewitt and No. 3-ranked Agassi closed the gap on No. 1 Gustavo Kuerten in a tournament that will decide the top spot for the 2001 ATP Champions race.
He faltered after breaking Rafter early in the second, dropping his own serve and then having to save two break
After giving the No. 6ranked Rafter a break-point chance, Agassi swatted the ball into the crowd.
points to equalize at 3-3.
"I got frustrated at that particular point because I didn't put the hammer down when I had the opportunity," he said. "And it had to do with concentration, too — when you haven't played matches, there's a certain amount of concentration lacking and that allows a certain amount of temper to kick in."
But he regained his compose and won three of the next four games and serve out at love when the Australian put a backhand return into the net.
Kuerten, who overcame
Marat Safin's 75-point lead las<sup>48</sup>
year by winning the Masters Cup at Lisbon, Portugal, is 1-5 in his most recent six matches.
Going into the tournament, Kuerten had 771 points and a 48-point lead over the second-place Hewitt, who won his first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open during a season-high 17-match winning streak. Agassi had 684 points.
Players get 20 points for a win in each of their three round-robin matches,40 for a semifinal victory and 50 for the title.

Washington won't just walk away
Marian Washington's skin is so clear and wrinkle-free you'd never guess she's in her early 50s or has coached women's basketball at Kansas for 29 years.
But she might want to stash away a jar or two of Clinique facial cream in her office because she could age a whole lot this year.
whole lot this year.
A year after the Jayhawks finished 12-
17, this season's team is full of question
marks. Kansas needs to find a legitimate
rebounder and get offensive production
from its guards. If those holes aren't
filled, Washington might have her worst
record since she was 7-17 after her second
season at Kansas in 1974-75.
That has some people whispering that the game has passed her by, that she's lost her recruiting touch and that it's about time she retired.
it's about her.
All of that's absurd, but if she didn't
show up for her 30th season, no one
could blame her.
After all, she's done just about all there is to do in women's basketball.
Win any conference titles? Seven of them. Been to the NCAA tournament? Eleven times, actually. Won a national championship? Not as a coach, but as a player, her 1969 West Chester State team won the Women's National Invitation Tournament (there was no NCAA tournament at the time).
Recognized in her field by peers? Too many times to fit onto this page, but here's a short list: two-time Black Coaches Association Coach of the Year, two-time Big Eight Coach of the Year, the only two-time president of Black Coaches Association (a 3,000member organization that is 98 percent male), assistant on the 1996 Olympic women's basketball team, two-time Olympic selection committee member and Giant Steps Award recipient for contributions to women's athletics.
With all those accomplishments and the women's basketball program in a downturn, now seems to be as good a time as any to retire. But Washington doesn't want to hear any of that, and she's curious why everyone wants to know her future plans.
"Why is everybody asking me when I'm going to retire?" she said last week. "I don't know when it will be, but when I stop enjoying coaching and am not able to recruit effectively, it will be time."
it will be time.
Break out the long-term contract, Al Bohl, because she might never leave Kansas. She has coached the Jayhawks for 29 years, and there's no way she'll wake up one morning and say, "Hey, I don't like basketball anymore."
As for recruiting, she signed six newcomers to this season's team and says next year's class, which might be one of the best in the Big 12, could turn the Jayhawks in the right — and familiar — direction again.
That is why Washington will stick around. Kansas women's basketball is Marian Washington, and she is Kansas women's basketball. No way will she walk away from the program when it needs her more than ever before.
"I'm not going to leave before I turn things around," she said with an emphatic shake of her head. "But I'm not going to be like some football coaches and do it until I will 70."
No one who knows a thing about Kansas women's basketball expects her to do anything less. But you know, even if she did coach for two more decades, she'd still have better skin than any football coach I've ever seen.

Hawks to play in their first NCAA tournament ever on Thursday
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Cheers from the Kansas soccer team echoed through the eighth-floor press box at Memorial Stadium yesterday as the Jayhawks' berth in the NCAA tournament was announced.
Kansas (13-6 overall) is slated to take on Brigham Young University (13-6-1) at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Lincoln, Neb. The contest will be the first game ever between the two schools.
Before the 2 p.m. selection show, freshman goalkeeper Meghan Miller left a note on a marker board that seemed to represent the emotions of the entire team.
between the two schools. The Kansas players watched and hoped yesterday afternoon. They were gathered around a big-screen television, as the 64-team NCAA tournament field was slowly being unveiled via satellite.
"I'm going to puke. If anyone wants to join me, I'll be in the third stall on the
earning the good news, a relieved
Upon hearing the good news, a relieved
Miller walked back to the marker board
and wrote "I MOK NOW!!!"
Just 15 minutes into the selection show, the Jayhawks were announced as earning an at-large bid.
The berth marks the first time the Jayhawks have ever been selected for the NCAA tournament. After an opening round upset to Missouri in the Big 12 Conference tournament, senior forward Natalie Hoogveld said she had doubts about her career continuing.
"After the loss against Missouri, I was kind of scared that it would be over," she said. "It's kind of like another chance to prove ourselves. Hopefully, we can come up big and make big things happen for the program."
left,"she wrote.
the program.
After a record-setting 13-6 season,
coach Mark Francis said a first-round
victory would be a bonus.
victory we won. "We've never won a postseason game before," Francis said. "I think that would be a goal we'll set for this weekend."
For a Kansas squad that had never finished above .500, Francis was able to work his magic and turn yet another program around. Before coming to Kansas, Francis served as coach at South Alabama. He acquired a depleted Jaguar roster and finished 2-17 in 1996. One year later, he was celebrating a Big South Conference title, finishing the season 18-3-1. The 16-win turnaround is a NCAA Division I-A record.
"There's no secret to it," Francis said. "You bring in good players, you organize them, you get them all on the same page and you'll be successful. We were able to bring in some good players, and the returning players were hungry to be successful after the last couple of years. The attitude of the team was something I look for.
"We step onto the field every game this year knowing if we play good,we have the opportunity to win. I don't see it being any different on Thursday."
The winner of Thursday's game will take on the winner of Nebraska vs. Boston College on Saturday in Lincoln.

Kansas aims for improvement
Coach may experiment with lineup in team's last exhibition game
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter

NCAA Division II Fort Hays State may not present the Kansas men's basketball team with a challenge tonight, but the Tigers could help the Jayhawks improve. And improvement is all Kansas coach Roy Williams is looking for at this point.
for at this point. "I'm looking for more of 5-on-5 execution, whether it's offensively with set plays or defensively, and everybody getting into the same defense," Williams said, "We're just trying to get more game-like situations and be able to do what we're supposed to do."
Guard Kirk Hinrich soars past the defender on his way to the hoop. The junior helped the team win its exhibition game Wednesday night against the EA Sports All-Stars. The Jayhawks will take on the Fort Hays State Tigers at 7 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.
Tenight's game will tip off at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse. This will be Kansas' final exhibition game before opening the season Monday in the Maui Invitational in Maui, Hawaii.
he said the coach. The freshman Aaron Miles was the third guard starting alongside junior Kirk Hinrich and senior Jeff Boschee. But freshman forward Wayne Simien outshined all newcomers with 25 points and eight rebounds.
The Jayhawks defeated the EA Sports All-Stars 98-77 on Wednesday, which began the exhibition season. Williams used a three-guard lineup that night, but he said he could experiment tonight.
Though still confident with the three-guard look, Williams said Simien's performance may lead to a three-forward lineup. Simien could see playing time with juniors Drew Gooden and Nick Collison. Gooden would move to the small forward position with Simien and Collison patrolling the middle.
"We've done a little bit of both in practice," Williams said. "I don't think we did a single play the other night in the game. I'm trying not to confuse the freshmen too much right now. We have done that in practice, and I wouldn't be surprised if we did it again."
The three-guard lineup could hamper Kansas' rebounding ability, but the Jayhawks passed their first rebounding test against EA Sports. Kansas out rebounded EA Sports 43-36 despite playing three players 6-foot-4 or shorter for most of the game.
"I think we need to keep working on rebounding," Collison said. "The guards are definitely going to have to rebound more, but if we all work on boxing out, we'll be fine." Note:
Former Tennessee men's basketball coach Jerry Green was Williams' guest at practice yesterday and will watch Kansas' game tonight. Williams has a current or former coach visit Lawrence almost every preseason to observe the

Hayes proud of freshman linebacker's adjustment
By Jeff Denton
Kansan sportswriter
Banks Floodman had no time to get nervous Saturday.
With time running out in the first quarter of Kansas' 59-0 blowout loss to No. 5 Texas, Marcus Rogers, the Jayhawks senior co-captain and starting middle linebacker, got tangled up in a pile while making a tackle. While several players bounced up from the turf, Rogers lay on the field in pain. His left ankle was sprained so severely he had to be helped off the field. Rogers would not return.

Floodman has been a regular on the Kansas special teams this season, but he has seen only limited action in the middle linebacker spot because of Rogers' dominance and experience.

Month-long competition leaves greeks in the dark
By Maggie Koerth Special to the Kansan
Conserving energy starts at home. Turning off a light, shutting down a computer when it's not in use, or dialing the thermostat down a couple of degrees are ways to save energy as well as money.
For fraternity and sorority members this month, doing these simple acts may win them a candlelight dinner at Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts St.
Rachel Burger, a member of Sigma Kappa sorority and co-chair of the Greek Environmental Board, said the group was sponsoring a contest among the University of Kansas' greek houses to see which one could save the most money in energy bills.
energy bills.
"We wanted people to become conscious of how much energy they use and prove to them how much money they can save by conserving it," said Burger, Tulsa, Okla., senior.
In preparation for the contest, board members hung posters in their houses detailing how their brothers and sisters could save energy.
energy.
"I put up signs on the bathroom mirror," said Becky Anderson, Topeka sophomore and Alpha Chi Omega sorority member. "Basically, we just asked them to turn off lights in rooms they weren't in, turn off the computer when they weren't using it — things like that."
At the end of the month, all of KU's sororities and fraternities are supposed to turn in to the board a copy of their energy bills from this November and last November.
and last November.
The board will then evaluate the bills to see how much each chapter house saved compared to last year. The house that has saved the most will win the grand prize: a candlelight dinner for 100 people.
Second- and third-place winners will receive gift certificates.
Anderson said her house was showing a good response to the contest.
test. "I came in one morning and found several girls brushing their teeth in the dark," she said.
dark, she said.
The board is hoping that by encouraging these kind of activities for a month, they can create habits that will last.
Burger said the group brought in Russ Rudy, director of the Heart of America Green Builder Program, last semester to speak about changes that could be made to the Greek houses to make them more energy efficient.
She said the idea for the contest came from Rudy's speech.
"A lot of the houses are older and not in the best energy-saving shape," Burger said. "The contest is something you can do now and the building changes are something you can do later."
Anderson said she wasn't sure if practices like shutting the lights off in every empty room would last past the contest. Even if they don't, however, she said she still believed something good was being done.
"Even if it's only for one month every year, there is still an impact being made." Anderson said.

Forum addresses parking
Public discussion lets students and faculty air their complaints
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Daniel Waters was one of about 60 people who vented frustrations to the parking department last night during the first-ever public forum about parking on campus.
public Wichita junior stood before about a dozen members of the KU parking department and the parking commission at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union to ask how his unique problem could be solved.
could be solved. Waters' car was towed from one of the parking meter spaces near Memorial Stadium in early October because the meter was expired.
When he went to the parking department afterward, he said they literally tore up his yellow student parking permit because he had an expired handicap permit in his car when it was towed.
According to the parking departments' rules and regulations, a person's parking privileges may be revoked for the "display of forged, altered, lost or stolen parking authorization stickers or hangtags."
authorized station. But Waters said the handicapped permit was on the floor of his car, and was not displayed anywhere in his windows.
Waters said his car was then towed a second time from the parking garage adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse, even though he was not using a permit and planned to pay for parking.
"It turned out that they had revoked my permit to park on campus completely." Waters said.
Waters said he was not eligible for
another permit the rest of the year. He also said both of his parking tickets were on appeal.

were changed. Kearns also listened to several other frustrated students, faculty and staff about their problems with parking on campus, including increased parking fees, availability of spaces, illegal parking in restricted areas and selling more permits than there are spaces available.
About two-thirds of the people there were faculty or staff.
Kearns said the open forum was a step in the right direction.
in the right direction. "I think that this is the best thing to come from parking in a long time," he said. "Things are not perfect, and I'll be the first to admit that."
Ronald Fowler, equipment operator for facility operations, told the panel he didn't think it was legal to oversell the number of permits.
Kearns said that the decision to sell excess permits came from Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
"We oversell. There's no question about that," Kearns said, adding that he didn't think it was illegal.
Kearns then addressed a question about whether it would be possible to add parking spaces to the garage located west of GSP-Corbin.
He said it was impossible.
It's one way for post-game traffic
He said it was impressive. "It was a cheap design and we have a lot of maintenance problems," Kearns said. "I hold my breath every year hoping that it won't slide down the hill."

Campus plan directs mobs of vehicles toward 23rd and Iowa streets
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Officer Steve Brull of the KU Public Safety Office directs traffic on Naismith Drive after last night's game against Fort Hays State. Basketball game traffic can cause headaches for anyone trying to get across campus.
Traffic on campus is a constant concern, but after a men's basketball game, the situation seems to get worse.
The KU Public Safety Office has developed a plan to direct traffic from campus to Iowa and 25rd streets after a game, said Maj. Chris Keary of the KU Public Safety Office.
"The general emphasis of post-game traffic direction is to get all the vehicles that came to the games out as quickly and efficiently as possible." Keary said. "But Allen Fieldhouse is not in the best possible place to get people out quickly."
He said the plan the Public Safety Office used was developed several years ago. But every year, the Public Safety Office revises the plan based on how effective it was the past year.
year. He said that the office was directly in charge of making any changes, but that it did take input from the KU parking department and the Athletics Department.
Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Patrick said the Lawrence Police Department directed traffic at 19th Street and Naismith Drive and 19th and Iowa streets because those intersections were under the city's jurisdiction.
The way the Public Safety Office plan works now, cars cannot travel on 19th Street between Iowa Street and Naismith Drive, nor on Naismith Drive between 19th Street and Schwegler Drive. This makes it hard to drive through campus, especially because some roads
that normally carry two-way traffic are converted to two lanes of one-way traffic on game nights.
"We encourage people to avoid this area on game nights if they can." Keary said. "It's best if they can either wait 20-30 minutes until the game traffic clears or just take the long way around."
But Dave Mier, Overland Park junior, had a test on campus last night for his business law class during the men's basketball game against Fort Hays State University, and couldn't avoid driving on campus.
"Parking and traffic is just ridiculous on game nights," Miersaid. "I have a parking pass and it does me no good because

all the lots are reserved. But I can't even get to those lots because the streets are closed.
"They need a better system," he said.

Memorial service helps students recall friend

Berk and Jones worked with Richard Johnson, dean of students, to coordinate the ceremony. Johnson closed the service, offering his condolences and encouraging friends to embrace Aycock's life and the impact he made on theirs.

Bailey Hall makes history, added to national register
Courtney Craigmile
Bailey Hall has been entered into the National Register of Historic Places by the Kansas Historic Sites Board of Review. The building was entered into the register Oct. 22.
Martha Hagedom-Krass, architectural historian for that State Historical Society, said that Carolyn Bailey-Bernenkening, granddaughter of Edgar Henry Summerfield Bailey, for whom the building is named, contacted the board in the mid-1990s.
"She has pursued a very active interest in preserving the history that her grandfather made," Hagedom-Krass said.
The building was nominated to the state register in 1995.
To be named to the state or national registers, the building needs to retain its original appearance in general terms and be at least 50 years old.
The listing of the building assures review of federal projects that might affect the character of Bailey Hall. It also provides recognition of the community's historical importance.

Black boxes giving few clues to cause of Flight 587 crash
NEW YORK — The cockpit voice recorder from American Flight 587 indicates the pilots struggled to control the plane after a rattling was heard less than two minutes into takeoff, investigators reported yesterday.
The Associated Prgse
George Black Jr. of the National Transportation Safety Board gave no indication of what caused the "airframe rattling noise."
From takeoff to the end of the tape lasts less than 2 minutes, 24 seconds. Black said at a news conference.
The first portion of the flight to the Dominican Republic appeared normal, with the copilot at the controls. But 107 seconds after the plane had started its takeoff roll, a rattling was heard; 14 seconds later, a second rattle was audible. Black said.
Twenty-three seconds later — after "several comments suggesting loss of control" — the cockpit voice recording ends, he said.
The plane's second black box, the flight data recorder, was recovered yesterday after a 24 hour hunt through a Queens neighborhood staggered by a double dose of tragedy. At least 262 people were killed when the plane crashed.

A source close to the investigation said the NTSB was looking at whether the plane's engines failed after sucking in birds, a phenomenon that has caused severe damage to airliners in the past.
But Black said an initial inspection of the engines found no evidence of a collision with bird. He said a more detailed analysis still needed to be done.

In a slumping economy, the nation's retailers are counting on the new consoles to drive overall traffic into their stores and hoping a sizzling video game market will fuel holiday sales.

Microsoft and Nintendo are set to release more than a million consoles each this holiday, and clearly there are not enough to go around for everyone who wants an Xbox or GameCube.

Michigan teen kills himself after breakup, police say
CARO, Mich. — A 17-year-old gunman who killed himself after a three-hour hostage standoff in his classroom was a somber, polite student who showed no warning signs of violence, his principal said yesterday.

Chris Buschbacher was upset about a breakup with his girlfriend two days before Monday's standoff, Tuscola County Undersherriff Jim Jasinkse said. The teen hid a .22-caliber rifle, a 20-gauge shotgun and a tube of gunpowder in a locker room shower stall sometime Monday.
Audrea Jackson, 15, and Joseph Gotter, a science teacher, were taken hostage.
After negotiations with sheriff's Lt. James Giroux, Buschbacher released Jackson and freed Gottler about an hour and a half later. Neither was injured.
The teen's mother came to the scene, but he refused to speak with her, Jashinske said.
Jabiriuskoff bachelor shot himself in the head in the classroom while a state police emergency response team was preparing to enter the building.
The teen brought the guns from his Caro home where he lived with his mother and stepfather, authorities said. Jashinske said Buschbacher had no criminal record.

By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
"Would you like smoking or non-smoking?"
At some area restaurants and bars, you won't hear that question — and you won't see anyone smoking, either.
Pat Roberts is one of the four principal co-owners of the new Johnny's Tavern, 155th and Nieman streets, in Overland Park, which is the first smoke-free sports bar in the city.
Johnny's is complying with a City of Overland Park ordinance that went into effect in March 2000 requiring new, non fast food restaurants to either be smoke-free or meet standards for smoke-restricted establishments.
Those restrictions include posting signs stating that smoking occurs on site and separating non-smoking areas as much as possible from smoking areas. Proprietors must also design their restaurants so that patrons don't have to pass through smoking areas to get to common facilities, like restrooms or telephones.
Roberts said Johnny's was
using the city's restriction to its advantage. It now uses its status as a non-smoking bar as an advertising tool.
"We're playing the heck out of it," Roberts said. "Once we committed to it, we knew we had to get the word out."
Lawrence's only smoke-free restaurant and bar is Prairie Fire, An American Bistro. 724 Massachusetts St. The establishment's owners declined comment for this story.
Tammy Babington, owner and manager of First Watch Restaurant, 2540 Iowa, said the corporate office decided to make the chain restaurants smokeless about 10 years ago.
She said making the establishment smoke free made sense because First Watch was only open for breakfast and lunch and no alcohol was served
Robbers from Johnny's Tavern said according to wisdom, people wanted to smoke at bars. But because the location was so prime for opening a sports bar and the property was not large enough to have a separate smoking area, the owners decided to take a chance on making it smoke-
Roberts said the owners were criticized for making Johnny's a smoke-free bar. They were told such an idea wouldn't work.
"We were scared the whole time," he said. "Until two weeks after the opening, we were second-guessing ourselves."
Stevi Cabral, general manager at Johnny's, said she enjoyed working in the smoke-free environment.
"Now I don't have to go home and shower before I go to sleep." she said.
But a comfortable working and dining environment is not the only reason for having anti-smoking laws.
According to the American Lung Association Web site, second-hand smoke is responsible for an estimated 53,000 deaths annually in the U.S., most because of cardiovascular disease. It also increases the risk of respiratory infections and intensifies asthma complications.
California, Utah and Vermont have laws prohibiting smoking in public buildings. Boulder, Colo., Flagstaff and Mesa, Ariz., and New York
City have similar laws banning smoking in restaurants and bars.
Babington said she liked working in a smoke free environment but would be surprised if anti-smoking laws like the one in California worked here.
"I wouldn't want to have anyone telling me I couldn't have smoking in my restaurant," she said.
A 1999 University of California at San Francisco study on the affects of anti-smoking legislation on tourism in those areas found that only in Flagstaff was there a significant drop in hotel revenue. California, Utah and Vermont all had an increase in hotel receipts.
Roberts didn't know if the other three Johnny's locations in Lawrence and Kansas City would become non-smoking,but said he anticipated that new ventures his group pursued would be smoke-free
"I think it's definitely a trend that will progress and one that we will follow," he said. "I've even had smokers tell me they enjoy it."

More students heading to grad school, LSATs
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Anna Smith will earn an art history degree this spring, but she plans to go to graduate school next fall to increase her chances of landing a job, something more students are considering now that the economy seems headed downhill.
The Hutchinson senior said she wanted to work in a museum one day
"I don't know what kind of job I could get with an undergraduate degree right now," she said.
Smith said the poor economy was a factor in her decision to attend graduate school, even though she had always considered the idea.
total of 4 + 16 applicants
This is a big change compared to other years, said Diana Carlin, dean of the KU graduate school. The number of applicants declined between 1993 and 1998. Between 1999 and 2000, the number of applicants increased by only
"The lower-tier jobs are not available right now," she said.
The number of applicants to begin graduate school at KU this year increased by 635 students, bringing the total to 4.416 applicants.
The number of applicants to KU's graduate school increased significantly last year, as did the number of students taking the Law School Admission Test. These increases mirror the nation's economic downturn, which one economic expert, Wayne D. Angell, former member of the Federal Reserve Board, said began in March.
69 students.
69 students. In June, the number of students who took the Law School Admission Test increased 18.6 percent from the 2000 June test, said Ed Haggerty, media relations specialist for the Law School Admission Council.
Admission Coorid The October test takers increased 23.5 percent from 2000. Haggerty said Between 1999 and 2000, the number of test takers in October increased by only 1.8 percent, and the year before that the number increased by 2.8 percent
Haggerty said the increase in the number of test takers was significant.
"This is the first year we've seen a big, big jump in about a decade," Haggerty said.
He said the huge increase in test takers could possibly be traced to the economic downturn. If fewer opportunities are available for graduating students, they might look at other options, he said.
Carlin said no concrete data linked the health of the economy with the number of students in graduate school, but there was a correlation
but here I am.
"My gut feeling is that it does have an impact," she said. "When you have a choice of jobs, why stay in graduate school when you can go make money somewhere else?"

Zoning could affect students
Students living in duplexes in Old West Lawrence may have to comply with the city's new housing code.
The code says no more than three unrelated people can live in a residence in an area zoned for single-family use.
Residents from the neighborhood, located between Arkansas and Alabama streets from Sixth to Ninth streets, asked the City Commission last night to rezone their neighborhood from duplex zoning to single-family zoning
If the Commission approves the rezoning, the duplexes in the area will be forced to comply with the city's housing ordinance by 2004.
In other business, the City Commission heard from Michael Young, transportation intern for the city, on waves to
improve bicycle parking in downtown Lawrence. Young recommended that the city should:
- develop new guidelines on the type, make and location of all bicycle racks in town, especially in the downtown area.
- adopt a standard that would guarantee bicycle parking within 50 feet of business and public facility entrances
create a way for bicyclists to comment on bicycle issues and register complaints.
■ install more bicycle racks down town
In the mean time, Mike Wildgen, city manager, said it would be acceptable to park bicycles on meters if done in a "responsible manner."

EDITORIAL Intramurals benefit from mailing lists
This year Recreation Services for the University of Kansas dropped team fees for intramural teams, but the current bureaucracy and information network for intramurals is antiquated. KU Recreation Services should look to cost-effective technology to increase participation.
Simple and inexpensive action can be taken to better inform students. Recreation Services should use a weekly or monthly mass e-mail list to regularly update residence hall, fraternity and sorority intramural chairpersons and other interested students about important dates and events.
Recreation Services posts information about intramural schedules and meetings in Robinson Center. It also posts information on its Web page, http://www.ku.edu/~recserv/Intramurals.htm. The site includes an intramural calendar of important turn in dates for team managers, officials meetings, and when different sport seasons begin. The site also links to a managers' manual and league results. However, the site falls short on its league standings link, which often turns up as "site not found" and has not been updated recently.
Signing up for intramurals can be as taxing as the activity itself. An interested student, intramural chair, or manager has to make several trips to Robinson to pick up and turn in forms, select time slots and check game times.
Robinson's location lends itself to students who like to walk long distances. Those who decide to drive must search for parking places, which often results in wasting gas and fronting laundry money to the Parking Department. The intramural registration process discriminates against a large number of students - those who are lazy, cheap, or both.
Technology, in the form of listservs, mass e-mail lists, and Web pages, offers teachers options for communicating with and informing students. KU's Recreation Services also should harness the University's computing services technology to improve the connection to students interested in intramurals.
Online registration of intramural teams could alleviate the barriers to many students participating in intramurals and could perhaps serve as a pilot program for the much anticipated online enrollment.
Recreation Services should also improve its Web page. A frequently updated, consistent calendar page should include game times and locations for all teams and sports in addition to important turn in dates and official meetings.
While the plans for a new and much improved Recreation Center have been postponed until 2003, why don't we harness the University's web resources and make immediate improvements that will benefit current students interested in ping pong (and other intramurals).

Media images keep women smooth and spending money
Progress toward equality between men and women in the 21st century needs to be re-examined — especially in the area of shaving. When the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote, nothing was tacked on saying, "Oh, by the way, that also requires you to remove unsightly hair from your entire body till death do you part."
Whether to shave is one of life's biggest questions. It's one we ask ourselves every morning, and one we will continue to ask most mornings for the rest of our lives. Sorry to depress you, but that means you will have to make the shaving decision about 22,000 times during your stay on Earth.
And admit it. You hate to shave. Men hate it. Women hate it. Everybody hates it. But when the question is asked "do I shave today or not?" face it, you usually pick up the razor and just do it.
Let's say, just this once, that you elect to let the razor lie. What happens next may depend on whether you are a man or a woman. If a man doesn't shave, no worries — the 5 o'clock shadow gives him that rugged, sexy look. Women of various ages and professions have drooled over the stubble of Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt and Indiana Jones. But if a woman bans the Bic and steps outside her house wearing shorts, people and small animals run in all directions. Let's see, sexy vs. scary — something's not right here.
Life would be much easier if shaving

It all started with an advertising campaign in 1915. That May, Harper's Bazaar magazine featured a model wearing a sleeveless gown that exposed her bare shoulders and shaven underarms. The Wilkinson Sword Co. seized the moment and began targeting the female buyer. The goal of the ads was to convince her that underarm hair was unhygienic and unfeminine. (Evidently, male underarm hair is clean and manly.) The campaign worked. Razor sales doubled in the next two years. And as fashions and society changed, it became unacceptable for women to
Jean Kilbourne, critical media scholar, says that advertising is that someone. She writes that advertising tells us who we are and who we should be. And she may be right. At least that's the way it was for women and shaving.
Kilbourne says ads featuring men and women are different. The focus of females in ads is on how they look. The focus for males is how they act - tough or weak. That doesn't mean men are not susceptible to social pressures around them, but that the pressure society puts on women in regard to body image is much greater.
show unshaven legs.
were an involuntary reflex like breathing. But it isn't. Somewhere, somehow somebody is telling us there are different standards for men and women; Someone is whispering in our ears what is socially acceptable.
In Gendered Lives: Communication, Gender, and Culture. Julia Wood writes that one of the main themes in the media is that men and women are portrayed in stereotypical ways that reflect and sustain socially endorsed views of gender. Because the media show unshaven men as acceptable and possessing sex appeal, that becomes a norm for society. And, because media never show a hairy female, but only smooth and slick ones, that trend is passed down from one oppressed woman to the next.
It really isn't fair. But advertisers don't claim to play fair. Money is what's important. Advertising is a $180 billion dollar a year industry. Our concern? Advertisers sell much more than products.
Oh well, with winter coming on, women can relax for a little while. The shaving question becomes easier to answer. Long sleeves and jeans can hide a lot.

Defending spirit of Watkins trust
We have been told not to waste our time and to avoid being so emotional. We have been told that it is simply bureaucracy — deal with it. The biggest bank in the United States and the University of Kansas have teamed up to see us quieted, but we will not back down.
After countless bank consolidations and mergers, the Elizabeth Miller Watkins Trust is with the largest bank in the United States: the Bank of America. The trust began in 1939 upon Watkins' death, and has since experienced lagging returns and questionable management. Since 1984, hall residents have questioned the administration of the Elizabeth Miller Watkins trust and irregularities in financial reports from the trust. The trust's interest rate, for instance, decreased from 11 percent in 1984 to 2.4 percent in 1999.
Some of the residents of Miller and Watkins Scholarship Halls have formed the Committee for the Preservation of Watkins and Miller Scholarship Halls. With the support of more than 300 alumnae across the country, hall residents hired an attorney in February 2000.
Years ago Miller Hall had major maintenance problems. Since the committee hired an attorney, the Department of Student Housing has installed air conditioning and fire sprinkler systems in the two halls, and maintenance

concerns that once took weeks to fix take days.
As we prepare for our third year of legal battle, the results have been positive, yet limited, because of numerous appeals by the bank that have lengthened the process. The court ruled in September 2000 that current residents of the two halls are in fact beneficiaries of the Watkins Trust. As beneficiaries, residents can legally question the management of the trust. The Bank of America appealed this decision and the Kansas Supreme Court denied hearing its requests. Since that denial, the bank has halted settlement talks and has hired one of the nation's top law firms — all to quiet a group of concerned scholarship hall residents.
Recently, the University has sided against residents. Settlement talks with the University have also failed. The University was unwilling to negotiate unless we gave up our standing as beneficiaries of the trust, which would forfeit the future rights of hall residents to question trust management. We refuse to give up the rights that we have already won in court.
What do we want? Not much, really. None of us will benefit financially from this endeavor. We simply want the bank and the University to obey Mrs. Watkins' original wishes outlined in her trust. For instance, we want the trust to maintain a rate of return comparable to similar trusts. We want the bank to be required to provide an annual line item reporting of trust business so that we can monitor expenditures.
Miller and Watkins Halls are an important part of the University of Kansas, and we would have liked the University to work with us toward a settlement. With or without it, we will not back down. Elizabeth Miller Watkins was one this University's biggest benefactors. How can we let the Bank of America and the University of Kansas ignore her wishes?

Documentary condemns hate
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
A filmmaker brought a message against racism, discrimination and intolerance to the Kansas Union yesterday by showing a documentary of victims of hate.
Brent Scarpo, a Pennsylvania native, produced and directed Journey to a Hate Free Millennium. The 40-minute documentary features the stories of victims of the Columbine High School massacre in Littleton, Colo.; Matthew Shepard, a homosexual who was murdered; and James Byrd, an African American who was dragged to death.
More than 60 people attended the film and lecture in the Kansas Union. The Multicultural Resource Center, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and other campus organizations sponsored the event, which is a part of Hate Out Week activities.
Scarpo said he made the documentary to show why hate existed in the world.
"We don't know the answer because I don't think we know the
questions," he said. "The whole goal of the film is for people to wake up and be hate-free."
Scarpo mentioned the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as another sign that hate was still prevalent, but said the event brought people closer to being hate-free. Many New Yorkers helped victims of the attacks and did not pay attention to race, religion or gender, Scarpo said.
said. "They saw human beings who needed help," he said. "I think we came really close to a hate-free millennium on Sept. 11. We need to get the hate out of us. Hate causes suffering."
Cassie Hicks. Lenexa sophomore, said she was moved by the program. She said she attended the event to learn what she could do to stop hate.
"I'm world is so sheltered," Hicks said. "It's a good idea to think about how to take steps to change things."

Afghans celebrate victory
KABUL, Afghanistan — It was a day when the grisly and the joyous came together in the Afghan capital. Men exultantly shaved off their beards for the first time in years. They played music in public. A man impishly but unsuccessfully encouraged women on a bus to uncover their faces.

faces.
It is forested park in Kabul, a different story unfolded yesterday. There, five men who had come to Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban lay dead, their bodies riddled with bullets in a final gun battle.
The five, identified as Pakistanis,
were among the foreign Muslim fighters -
Arabs, Chechens and others -
who are now targets for reprisal by
Afghanans who associate them with five
years of oppressive Tulliban rule.
Elsewhere in the capital, people kicked the charred remains of men killed when a rocket slammed into their truck. The bodies of two others lay in the street where they lived.
There was unsease too, that with the sudden, sweeping advances of the Northern Alliance, Afghanistani might slide back into the factional fighting that characterized the alliance's 1992-1996 rule of the country.
Every week more than 500,000 trees are used to produced the two-thirds of newspapers that are never recycled.
"Today we are celebrating, but we worry that tomorrow they will start fighting again. We pray that won't happen," said Ahmed Rashel, who sat in a barber's chair for the first time in five years.

What's News-
In Business and Finance
IPO Activity Picks Up
Spurred by a rebounding stock market and pent-up demand, the IPO dance card is as full as it has been in months.
THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 12,2001
Nine initial public offerings of stock came to market from Oct. 1, through the end of last week, and 24 more are in the works through December, making this the highest-volume quarter for IPOs this year, data company Thomson Financial said. An IPO is a company's first sale of stock to the public. Only 14 deals were completed in the third quarter, the fewest in a quarter since 1976.
Analysts see the return of the IPO business as a sign of confidence in the stock market's rebound from its mid-September lows. Many companies going public have been waiting in the wings for months, and the fact they are striking now means they don't think recent gains will soon fizzle.
Some long-dormant IPO filings are becoming active again. Verizon Wireless said last week that it hopes to go public in the first half of 2002 in a deal roughly estimated at $5 billion.
in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, many companies are putting off spinoffs, product orders, hiring decisions, real-estate projects and other important activities.
Businesses Delay Projects—and Hiring
In early October, more than a quarter of 669 finance chiefs said they were postponing planned capital expenditures as a result of the attacks, according to a survey by Financial Executives International and Duke University's Puqua School of Business. The Las Vegas resort and casino Mandalay Bay pushed back completion of a big expansion by six months to January 2003.
Yahoo Wins Round Against French Order
A U.S. court ruled that Yahoo! Inc. doesn't have to comply with a French court's order that the company block French users from accessing Nazi-related materials on its Web site, a decision seen by many as an important victory for free speech on the Internet.
The French court's ruling had alarmed free-speech groups because the Nazi uniforms and other memorabilia in question were on Yahoo's U.S. auction site, not its French site, which has long banned Nazi paraphralia in deference to French laws that prohibit the sale of racist materials. The French groups that brought the initial case may appeal.
Carl Yankowski, Palm Inc.'s embattled chief executive, resigned from the maker of hand-held computers following a tumultuous year of slowing sales and mounting losses.
Palm Loses CEO Plans New Ads
The once-highflying company has been hit by the tech slowdown and the fumbled introduction of a new product line earlier this year. To revive sales heading into the holiday season, Palm is returning to television this week with an advertising campaign that could make or break its holiday season.
Club Med Closes Some Resorts
Club Med, which was losing ground to rivals even before this fall's travel slump, has closed seven resorts and plans to close eight more for at least several months.
After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, winter bookings at Club Med plummeted at various villages from 15% to 50%. The company was already being hurt as competitors

similar all-inclusive vacations at sharply discounted rates. Now Club
Med, with 120 resorts, faces perhaps its most severe financial problems since its launch in 1950.
Clear Channel To Sell Music Online
Radio giant Clear Channel Communications Inc. will offer online music subscriptions through its stations' Web sites in five cities, creating what eventually could become a rival to services planned by the major record labels.
Starting as early as January, Clear Channel stations in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Salt Lake City will deliver a service on their Web sites provided by FullAudio Corp., a Chicago-based Internet music firm. Users will be able to download songs for $5 to $15 a month.
The long-term viability of paid online music subscriptions is unclear, given the current prevalence of free song-swapping services. But online services from radio stations could pose a big challenge to those created by labels and Internet firms. Radio stations often have strong local brands and the ability to promote their services directly over the air.
Amtrak May Face
Revamping
An independent oversight commission, concluding that Amtrak won't meet a congressional deadline to operate without federal subsidies by the end of next year, set in motion a possible revamping of the nation's intercity passenger-train system.
The decision, reached Friday by the Amtrak Reform Council in a 6- to 5 vote, said Amtrak as currently structured and funded is "not capable of delivering the improvements in passenger rail service that are needed." The council now has 90 days to file an Amtrak restructuring plan with Congress, which has the final say on what happens to the system. The decision won't affect Amtrak's train service for the foreseeable future, Amtrak said.
In a sign of the limited market for direct online car sales, CarsDirect.com Inc. is launching a service to allow consumers to buy cars through dealers instead of directly from the company...Billionaire Warren Buffett said he and others in the insurance industry made a "huge mistake" by not anticipating the need to collect extra premiums for terrorist acts...Smack Down: World Wrestling Federation Inc.'s president resigned and the company cut 9% of its work force amid declining ratings for most of its shows.

Auto Sales Soar on Mix Of Deals, Patriotism, Seize-the-Day Spirits
Just how are Americans dealing with economic downturn, high unemployment, terrorism and war? They're buiving brand
- Interviews' Tactics Test Candidate Composure Most job interviews don't include a confrontation, 'but sometimes employers behave aggressively and may even ask illegal questions to see how you respond. Here's advice on preparing for such a meeting.
They're buying brand new cars — 1.73 million of them in October, the most ever in a single month. At that rate, one in every 10 Americans would be driving off the lot in one within a year. But take a look at what's selling: While there's been a slight uptick in the economy models that usually do well in a downturn, the biggest sellers have flash, glitz and price tags that seem surprisingly out of step with the times. (Think high-end trucks, gas-guzzling SUVs and cars.) The biggest gainer of all? A convertible—Chrysler's Sebring, whose sales have almost triped since last October.

Suddenly Mortal
Much of this boom, of course, has been driven by the industry's well-publicized financing plans. But good deals are only part of the picture. Indeed, some of the industry's hot sellers weren't even marked down. Instead, many buyers say they're motivated by everything from confidence that the economy will bounce back, to a patriotic impulse to buy American. And then there's the "seize-the-day" factor, with people suddenly deciding life's too short to hold off on the car of their dreams.

"We're trying to get people back focusing on the benefits of the product rather than the size of the deal," says Chrysler marketing chief James Schroer.
By Wall Street Journal staff reporters Sholin Freeman, Karen Lundegaard, Jonathan Welsh and Daniel Costello.
Detroit's big Three complain that financing deals are draining their bottom lines, and that they'll last only a few more weeks. But Ford and GM both say discounts are likely to continue in a different form. And Chrysler is already offering buyers a free seven-year, or 100,000-mile, warranty that covers the engine and transmission. In touting the warranty, the company has made some not-so-subtle references to Sept. 11, suggesting its plan will give buyers "peace of mind."
But even some cars that weren't discounted sold well. Subaru and Honda, neither of which offered major new deals following Sept. 11, saw double-digit sales gains in October. Some high-priced models were hot as well. Sales of BMW S-series, which goes for about $50,000, were up more than 20%. In fact, sales manager Louis Smith says most BMW buyers at his Midwestern Auto Group in Dublin, Ohio, are not only paying full price, but asking for models loaded with luxury features.
In fact, some buyers are using this as an opportunity to buy cars they never could have afforded otherwise. "We'd always wanted a Suburban," says James Day of Maryland, who just bought one of the $36,000 Chevy SUVs. With cheap financing plus an end-of-the-year sale price, he's spending little more each month for his new Suburban than for the 1999 Pontiac Trans Am he traded it. Still, Mr. Day worries a bit about paying for such an expensive vehicle: His telecommunications company has been laying employees off for three quarters running. Another worry is fuel prices. While gas is relatively cheap now, a period of unrest in the Middle East has never been a comfortable time to own a gas-guzzer.
Ironically, though, that's what's selling more than anything else right now. Remember the mounting SUV backlash? Well, forget it; Sales actually doubled from last October for some popular sport-utility vehicles, while others gained nearly as much. It's easy to see why, with Americans
worried more about safety and security, and also planning more road trips instead of flights.
Loaded for Luxury
Trucks fared even better, particularly in Texas, where Ford dealership pushed the 0% deals especially hard, with some staying open until midnight. The upshot: Ford sold 102,000 F-series pickups in October, the first time a pickup truck has passed the 100,000-a-month mark. The deals were so good, in fact, that Ford's pickups were the biggest-selling vehicle of any kind for the month.
The deals are giving cars like the Chevrolet Corvette a big boost. General Motors rarely discounts this ultra-macho couple, so when the company included it in its new financing deals last month, sales jumped more than 60%. "If you weren't going to buy a Corvette in October," said GM sales analyst Paul Ballew, "I don't know when you were going to buy one."
This is nearly now outspoken haved during past downturns. During the great gas crisis of the mid-1970s, American consumers shifted to fuel-efficient compacts. In the 1991-92 slowdown, they bought fewer cars because of the sluggish economy and war in the Persian Gulf. But this time around, auto makers are hoping to prop up the market just long enough for the economy to regain steam. So they veiled out one of the industry's most extreme sales strategies: 0% financing, a plan that lets buyers pay the vehicle price in installations, with no interest. Industry veterans say they can't remember the last time Detroit offered 0% deals this widely.

ere's a novel audience for the book business: college students.
Gees, the under-25 set is now buying books for leisure reading at three times the rate of the overall market. Young readers—even teens—are flocking to surprisingly hefty titles, from Jane Austen to memoirist Dave Eggers, whose prose some critics have compared to James Joyce's.
After a decade in which reading was considered about as hip as the Bee
Bookstores across the country report jumps of 20% to 75% in young buyers over the past three years. Industry analysts point to a host of new, rather uniliterary marketing tactics, from readings in goth discos to Hollywood tie-ins. Obsessiveness about college admissions has also helped, with kids trying harder to at least appear well-read. But perhaps the biggest change is in the readers themselves: This generation is more earnest, more studious and, well, nerder than its predecessors.
It wasn't so long ago that the MP3 generation could scarcely be bothered to crack a book. Colleges saw a 50% drop in literature majors between 1992 and 1997, as Gen-Xers turned to the Web. But now that so many dot-com fantasies have gone bust, geek chic has had to find new outlets.
"This generation has far more patience, is much more open to art and culture than any I've seen," says Alison Reid, owner of Diesel Bookstore, in Oakland, Calif. Her fastest twenty-something seller this week: "An Invisible Sign of My Own," by Aimee Bender.
Of course, not all the new readers are Susan Sontags-in-training. Many are making a fashion statement of sorts, carrying around tattered copies of "in" books—"not necessarily to read, but to be part of a scene," says Jeremy Ellis, a manager at Austin's Book People.
And in some ways, all of this is changing not just readability levels but the book business itself. Some publishers say that as the book business becomes more glamorous and celebrity-centered, it is starting to look like rock 'n' roll. Last month, Grove/Atlantic signed a 17-year-old to write a novel about a fictionalized designer drug. Says Morgan Entrekin, publisher and president there: "We're all just looking for the newest, freshest voices."

Honda Civic
Toyota Echo
Gas mileage: 34 miles per gallon in town and 41 miles per gallon on the highway Interior Style/Comfort: The Echo is roomy inside because of the car's very high rooftop. It has incredible amounts of storage space throughout the cabin, including two large compartments beneath the steering wheel. It rides very quietly and smoothly, but is really only comfortable for two people. The back-seat is appropriate for only children or small adults, especially if tall people are riding up front. The car's audio and climate controls, while simple, are located too far down on the dashboard. It's hard to adjust things without taking your eyes off of the road.Rating:5
EXTERIOR Style: The car looks odd with its thin profile and high roofline. Unlike many of its competitors, the Echo's looks scream "economy car," which isn't a good thing. Rating: 5
Fun to Drive: The Echo has odd placement of the gauges, which are in the middle of the dashboard. The clutch and shifter work well, though the gear location is vague; it's fairly easy to put the car into the wrong gear. Visibility is good and the car offers surprisingly good acceleration. Rating: 7
Practicality: The Echo is comfortable for two, but four are cramped. Cargo space is good but the trunk opening is very small. Rating: 6
Value: The Echo doesn't have a lot of features, but not a lot is expected for a $13,000 car. It's no better or worse than most of its competitors in Lawrence.
Rating: 7
Overall: The Echo's low price gets the buyer a quiet, reliable car that gets great mileage, exactly what most students need. It doesn't look great, but it performs well and offers a 100,000 mile warranty, something that most competitors don't.
By Kyle Rohde Kansan feature writer
Mitsubishi Eclipse
Gas mileage: 23 miles per gallon in town and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. Interior Style/Comfort: The Eclipse offers an attractive but cramped interior. The driver's seat is tight for taller drivers, and the back seat is unusable, much like the Ford Mustang. The climate controls are small and difficult to use while driving, though the stereo is wonderful for a factory system. Rating: 6
Exterior Style: Show-car style at a low price is what the Eclipse provides. It looks great, except for the cheesy plastic gas filler door. It's on-par with the Mustang, its main competitor at this price. Rating 8 Fun to Drive: The Eclipse was a joy to drive, even in its less powerful version. It has great pedal placement, with plenty of room for even large feet. Its manual shifter is simply brilliant. No more then a flick of the wrist is needed, thanks to its short throws. It's not necessary to lift your arm off the armrest to shift, a welcome feature on long trips. It handles
Best cars that cost less than $20,000
November is the traditional beginning of the automotive model year, the time when carmakers unveil their new and redesigned models. Zero-percent interest financing, being offered in response to the Sept. 11 attacks, is pushing some buyers to dealerships. Laird Noller Motors Inc., 935 W. 23rd St., has seen brisk October sales, said salesman I Travis Ward
Luke Huerter, Pittsburg, senior and Michele Bennett, Lawrence, senior, look at the price tag of a 2000 Ford Mustang. The Mustang is one of several cars priced under $20,000.

October sales, said salesman J. Travis Ward. Based on this, I set out to find what I think are the best cars, specifically for the college student, that cost less than $20,000. For recently graduated students and students whose parents will be purchasing the car, $20,000 is a reasonable starting point
sonable starting point. I try to test a broad range of cars, from four door sedans to sport coupes.
I tried to test a broad range of cars, from four door sedans to sport coupes. Because of brisk sales, many models were not available for test driving, such as the Toyota Celica, Pontiac Firebird and the Volkswagen Jetta and New Beetle.Cars were judged and rated in five categories, 10 being the highest in each.
well and accelerates decently, though slower then the Mustang. As with all two-door cars, there is a small blind spot. Rating:7
Practicality: The Eclipse is not practical. It's realistically only a two-seater, and even the driver's seat is tight. However, it does hold a decent amount of cargo and gets good mileage. For those concerned with winter driving, it offers front-wheel drive, whereas the Mustang has rear-wheel drive. Rating: 5 Value: The Eclipse is more expensive than the Mustang. It offers the same features as the Ford, but for the same price the Ford offers a much more powerful engine, as well as the new MP3 player. The Eclipse does have a better reliability history than the Mustang, as well as a longer warranty. Rating: 6 Overall: The Eclipse is an excellent sport
Overall: The Eclipse is an excellent sport coupe. It drives well and has an especially delightful manual gearbox. With more power and a lower price, it would
be a much better car. For the money, the Ford offers a better value.
FORD
Ford Mustang
Gas mileage: 22 miles per gallon in town and 29 miles per gallon on the highway. Interior Style/Comfort: The Mustang features a comfortable interior for two people. Four people riding in a Mustang is almost impossible with a tall driver. The car's controls are easy to use and well placed. Rating:6
Exterior Style: A chiseled, muscular body that looks distinctive and won't be mistaken for anything else—not what you'd
expect for less than $20,000. The Mustang nonetheless has its shortcomings, namely its non-functional hood and side scoops. For the money, it's hard to find a better looking car. Rating: 8
better looking car. Having fun to Drive! The Mustang features a 193-horsepower V6 engine, making it the fastest car available for less than $20,000. A muscular, non-intrusive exhaust sound contributes to the visceral enjoyment of the car. It's unfortunate that the engine is mated to an absolutely horrendous five-speed manual. The shifter is located too far forward and the gears are far too undefined. It's very easy to miss a gear in this car. The clutch, while stiff, is easy to use and works well with the brakes and responsive accelerator. A small blind spot, expected in most two door cars, is the only other problem with the Mustang. Rating: 7
Practically: Being a small coupe, it is, for all practical purposes, a two-seater. Its trunk will hold an average amount of
cargo, and with the backseat folded down, it's quite large. But compared to other cars in this price range, the Mustang has high insurance rates and slightly lower gas mileage. Winter driving will worry some potential buyers, as the Mustang has rear-wheel drive, but with traction control and a set of snow tires, it will go through the snow just fine. Rating:6
Value: The Mustang has a lot of features standard on its lowest price model: power everything, remote keyless entry, four-wheel disc brakes, and the loaded V6 model tested is valued at $19,000. For 2002, an MP3 player is available at no extra cost in place of the standard CD/tape player. Rating: 9.
Overall! The Mustang is perfect for a student who wants performance and style without a lot of room for people. It's really only a two-seater, but it is fast and stylish. If not for its atrocious shifter and blind spot, the driving experience would be perfect, especially for the price.
Acura
Honda Civic
Gas mileage: 32 miles per gallon in town and 37 miles per gallon on the highway. Interior Style/Coufort: The Civic, fresh off a 2001 redesign, has a comfortable, surprisingly roomy interior. All the controls are perfectly placed and easy to use. Unfortunately, there is no passenger armrest and the one on the driver's side is an option. Things like that should be standard. Smartly, Honda also removed the hump found in the center of the rear seats of most cars. Doing that increases rear seat comfort greatly; five can now ride comfortably. Rating:8 Exterior Style: The Civic's redesign made the car appear much bigger than before. All models, especially the coupe, look very long. It has lost some of the sporty appearance that attracts many of its buyers. However, the car looks more upscale than it used to. The Civic looks more expensive then it really is, which should please most buyers. Rating:8 Fun to Drive: The Civic EX tested featured the 127 horsepower version of Honda's 1.7-liter, four-cylinder engine. This engine, which has 12 more horses than the DX or LX models, was smooth and fairly powerful. Combined with a wonderful five-speed manual transmission, it makes for an enjoyable driving experience. Rating:8
rracticality. The Civic gets great mileage and holds four or five people very comfortably. It has a good-sized trunk as well. Along with Honda's amazing reliability and resale value, the Civic is one of the most practical buys. 10/10
Value: While a great car, the Civic costs more than its competitors, such as the Ford Focus. With silly options like an armrest, the Civic leaves some things to be desired when it comes to value. Rating: 6
Overall: The Civic, while losing some of its sporty looks, gained a lot in comfort and room. It's a quiet, good-performing car that gets great mileage and has one of the highest resale values on the market. It's no wonder so many people own them.

A new idea for bored Hawk fans
The football team has lost five straight. The men's basketball team is playing meaningless exhibition games. And we sports fans are left with nothing to get excited about. A logical solution exists.
A high-profile, megasporting event at Kansas must be added to fill the gap in time. I'm proposing University Death Match, an event in the spirit of MTV's popular parody show Celebrity Death Match, in which people associated with Kansas athletics square off against each other in a one-night-only, fight to the finish.
Here's a possible lineup for the inaugural event, complete with my own predictions:
1. Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director vs. Terry Allen
Things go from bad to worse for Allen, our recently fired head coach, when Bohl uses a steel chair to repeatedly hit Allen over the head. With Allen powerless to defend against the chair shots, Bohl appears headed toward an easy victory.
But Allen has planned a secret weapon more cunning than any no-huddle offense or draw play on third-and-seven.
Just as Allen's consciousness begins to fade, the lights dim inside Allen Fieldhouse and "Who Let the Dogs Out" blares over the loud speakers. Suddenly, Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams and Bob Frederick, former athletics director, emerge from the locker room and rush the ring. An enraged Williams lands a drop kick that sends Bohl reeling backward and Frederick grabs Bohls' arms and holds them behind his back
With Bohl unable to break free, Allen grabs the chair and delivers a punishing blow to the midsection, sending him tumbling to the canvas.
As Bohl lies on the mat, writhing in pain, Allen, Williams and Frederick celebrate their victory by flexing their muscles and acknowledging the crowd.
The referee raises Allen's hand, making the victory official, but Bohl too has planned a surprise.
The lights dim once again and members of the recently-cut men's swimming and diving team begin dropping from the ceiling. The swimmers immediately dog-pile on Frederick. A frightened Allen sprints toward the locker room and Williams hide underneath the ring.
Bohl and the swimmers embrace as a chorus of boos echoes from the crowd.
2. Zack Dyer vs. Mario Kinsey with special guest referee Terry Allen.
KANSAS 95-FORT HAYS STATE 41
The two combatants battle ruthlessly in the ring, with neither gaining the upper hand. Dyer attempts to administer a classic sleeper hold when Kansas running back Reggie Duncan comes to the ring and chokes Dyer from behind. Amazingly, referee Allen happened to be looking the other way and didn't see Kinsev's blatantly illegal choke hold.
3. All 25,000 Kansas students vs.
Missouri basketball coach Quin
Snyder
Students take turns pummeling Snyder for hours and hours.
4. Eric Chenowith vs. Baby Jay in a skin to win match.
The winner in this match must strip the clothes off his/her opponent. Chenowith gets the upset victory when Big Jay shows up and rips off Baby Jay's head, revealing-his true identity to be former Kansas basketball player Jerrod Hasse.

Jayhawks pounce on Tigers
Kansas has tour days before season opener at Maui Invitational

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas quarterback Mario Kinsey gets trampled in the end zone, giving Texas its second safety of the day. Smith and company posted 67 yards of total offense against the Longhorns in Austin this weekend.

Twenty minutes would have been enough for Fort Hays State.
Yes, the small-school Tigers were fulfilling their dreams by playing against No. 7 Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse, but those dreams quickly turned into a painful nightmare.
AARON LINDBERG/KANSAN
Kansas, 2-0 in exhibition games, exploded for 64-points in the first half in its 95-41 exhibition victory against Division II Fort Hays State, 1-1.
Jeff Boschee, senior guard, tries to feed the ball to a teammate under the basket as Fort Hays State junior guard Jim Rhodes defends. Boschee scored 19 points, including five three-pointers, and had three assists.
DIVISION A POWERHOUSE
The Jawhaws put the game out of reach by outscoring the Tigers 43-7 in the last 11 minutes of the first half and grabbing a 44-point halftime advantage.
"The last 14 minutes of the first half, I felt we were real good," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "Our execution was better, we moved the ball much better on the perimeter, and we got the ball inside better. We were just a lot sharper than we've been this year during that stretch. We were closer to our potential during that stretch."
"It's a great feeling," Boschee said. "Everything felt great tonight with my shot. It's like Michael Jordan says, 'the basket seems bigger,' and that was true."
our potential team.
Senior guard Jeff Boseche hit five three-pointers and led all Jayhawk scorers with 19 points. Boseche, who had a sore throat, knocked down four consecutive three-pointers during a two-minute stretch in the first half.

Sputtering offense leaves array of questions for football team
By Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas interim football coach Tom Hayes has called his assignment to coach Kansas' final games a "project."
But offensive coordinator Rip Scherer is looking at a goingaway party.
Hayes was promoted to interim head coach when coach Terry Allen was fired last week. Scherer, meanwhile, was left in charge of the nation's 112th-ranked offense out of 115 Division I-A teams.
"I'm realistic enough to know my situation," Scherer said. "The least likely guy to be retained by any new coach is the offensive coordinator, so I just want to do as good a job as I can in the next two weeks and leave on a positive note."
Though Scherer has been offensive coordinator throughout the season, he split play-calling responsibilities with Allen until last week. His task, it seems, is to right what has been a sinking ship.
The offense has been so inept that it has taken only 11 drives inside the opponent's 20-yard line in nine games.
Only two teams in the nation — New Mexico and Kansas State — have completed a lower percentage of passes than Kansas. Jayhawk quarterbacks have completed 44.2 percent of their passing attempts.
the rest of the conference has averaged 38 trips into the red one.
The Kansas offense has
The offensive problems reached a new low when Kansas produced just 67 yards of offense in a 59-0 loss at No. 5 Texas on Saturday. The yards were the 10th fewest gained in one game by
produced 14 touchdowns this season. Eleven individual players in the nation have scored at least that many touchdowns.
the Jayhawks in 111 years of football.
To its credit, the offense has been faced with the nation's toughest schedule. Four of Kansas' last five opponents Oklahoma, Kansas State, Nebraska and Texas have defenses ranked in the nation's top six.

Freshman's offense strong in second game
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
With the opportunity to speak to the media for the first time this season, freshman Keith Langford's play proved he deserved an interview.
In just 13 minutes against Fort Hays State University, Langford went six-for-six from the field, including two-for-two from the three-point line,and finished with 14 points. But his three offensive rebounds that impressed Williams the most.
Coach Roy Williams' policy, which does not permit freshmen to speak to the media until after the first regular season game, was waived because the team leaves for the Maui Invitational on Friday.
"Keith does have a knack for getting to the offensive boards," Williams said. "He's a gifted young man."
With the shorter line-up Kansas has been using so far this season, rebounding is a major concern of Williams'.
"It's a huge worry when playing Aaron and Jeff and Kirk at the same time because none of those guys think rebounding and Keith does," Williams said. "I think three offensive rebounds for baskets, I'd like to have that every game."
Langford said Williams had talked

Big Unit gets Cy Young, Schilling finishes No.2
NEW YORK — Randy Johnson didn't have to share this award with Curt Schilling.
The Associated Press
The Big Unit, co-MVP of the World Series with his Arizona Diamondbacks teammate, won his third straight National League Cy Young Award yesterday, receiving 30 of 52 first-place votes from a panel of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
"I know Curt's happy for me," Johnson said. "I talked to him earlier today. He was calling me today to thank me for getting him to this next level where's he at. I thought that was the most flattering comment I've received to this point in my career."
This was just the third time teammates finished first and second in the voting.
Johnson was 21-6 and led the major leagues with a 2.49 ERA and 372 strikeouts, the third most in a season behind Nolan Ryan's 383 in 1973 and Sandy Koufax's 382 in 1965. Schilling was 22-6 with a 2.98 ERA and 293 strikeouts.

It was Johnson's fourth Cy Young Award. The only other pitchers with four or more Cy Youngs are Roger Clemens, a favorite to win his sixth tomorrow when the AL voting is announced, and Steve Carlton and Greg Maddux, who won four each.
The only voters who chose Schilling instead of Johnson were Toni Ginnett of the Chicago Sun-Times and Joe Christensen of The Press-Enterprise in Riverside, Calif.

Schilling $150,000 for finishing second, and Morris $25,000 for finishing third.
Sooners want revenge in Lubbock
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma's football team is hoping for a more pleasant trip to Texas Tech this year.
The Sooners' last visit to Lubbock, Texas, was two years ago. Things started well enough, with Oklahoma taking a 21-10 lead, but Tech rallied in the second half and won the game 38-28.
Afterward. Oklahoma's chartered plane broke down and the team wound up riding back to Norman on buses.
"I felt that was exactly what we deserved—take a long bus ride home in rickety old buses," coach Bob Stoops said. "That's what you get."
That Oklahoma team was much different than this one. These Sooners (9-1, 5-1 Big 12) are ranked No. 3 in the country and are trying to earn a trip to the Rose Bowl to play for the national championship. The 1999 team went 7-5 and played in the Independence Bowl.
"It was frustrating to go out there and have the lead on those guys and not even finish the game,
knowing we were the better team," receiver Josh Norman said yesterday. "Obviously on that day we weren't. We didn't show we were a better team
"It was frustrating having to drive home six hours on the bus, too. That's terrible."
Stoops said the '99 Sooners weren't mature or tough enough to overcome adversity, particularly on the road. But Oklahoma has gone 22-1 the past two years, with the loss coming earlier this season against now top-ranked Nebraska.
Texas Tech is different, too. The Red Raiders (6-3, 4-3 Big 12) have won three straight, are third in the league with 35 points per game and they lead the league in passing with an average of 336 yards per game.
Mike Leach spent the 1999 season as Oklahoma's offensive coordinator, then got the job at Tech when his spread offense has flourished behind quarterback Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury has thrown for 2,902 yards and is completing 68 percent of his passes.
Lindros to take on his old team
The Associated Press
RYE, N.Y. — With a quiet, steady voice, Eric Lindros chose to emphasize the positive.
Lindros will play against the Philadelphia Flyers for the first time today, facing the team that cut ties with him in a contentious divorce.
"Obviously there will be a lot of emotion." Lindros said yesterday in front of his New York Rangers' practice locker. "But the bottom line is that two points are at stake."
After spending nine seasons in Philadelphia and serving as captain for seven, Lindros was traced to the Rangers in August for three players and a draft pick.
Lindros sat out last season, partly because of a concussion and partly because of a dispute with GM Bob Clarke.
Lindros said. "I can look back and fill up days with positive thoughts."
He acknowledged life in Philly wasn't always rosy, particularly toward the end when he and Clarke traded barbs, but he won't stir things up.
"There are some things I'd like to put behind me, but certainly the pros outweigh the cons."
Clarke is expected to make the trip to Madison Square Garden, as he has in years past.
"There were some tough times," Lindros said. "Sometimes it gets to a point where everybody had to defend themselves. That's what happened and I don't second-guess what I did."
"But I don't want to bring it back up again. It's not worth talking about."
The Rangers (11-7-1-0) will stand firm behind Lindros, who has led them on a recent tear into second place in the Atlantic Division, a point behind the New York Islanders. Philadelphia (8-5-3-0) is third.

Fresno State's Pat Hill confirms
Bohl contacted him about job
LAWRENCE — Kansas athletic director Al Bohl has talked with Fresno State football coach Pat Hill about the Jayhawks' vacant job.
Bohi, who spent five years as Fresno State's athletic director before taking the Kansas job in August, hired Hilt to run the Bulldogs program after Jim McGraw in 1997.
Hill confirmed Monday that he was contacted about the Kansas job, left open by the firing of Terry Alien after a 51-7 loss to Nebraska earlier this month.
Hill said any job in the Big 12 would be appealing simply because of the league's strength.
There has been speculation since Bohi arrived in Lawrence that he would like to hire Hill, who led a turnaround at Fresno State. The Bulldogs, 8-2, have established themselves on the national scene this season, opening with a victory against No. 15 Colorado and then unsetting Oregon State.
Colorado-Nebraska game could change Big 12 standings
BOULDER, Colo. --- Colorado, making its first showing in the Bowl Championship Series rankings, has a chance to change the national championship picture with a win Nov. 23 against Nebraska.
As of this week, the top two teams in the BCS, Nebraska and Miami, are on track to meet in the Rose Bowl. Oklahoma (3), Oregon (4) and Florida (5) have one loss apiece and are waiting for a break. But if the 14-ranked Buffs upset the Cornhuskers, things could change dramatically.
If CU beats the Cornhuskers, it would take the North Division title and go on to the Big 12 championship game.
If it went on to beat Oklahoma in that game, the Sooners would drop to 11-2 and out of national championship contention at the Rose Bowl. That would leave CU as the Big 12 champ, automatically qualifying for the Fiesta Bowl.
That what-if scenario could leave Texas at 11- heading to the Rose Bowl even though the Longhorns didn't win the South Division.OU or Nebraska would then land in the Cotton or Holiday bowls.

Terrell Davis to miss more games after knee surgery
DENVER — Broncos running back Terrell Davis was recovering yesterday from arthroscopic knee surgery and is expected to be sidelined 10 days.
He had surgery Monday to repair carriage in his left knee, the team said.
He is expected to miss Denver's next two games — at home Sunday against Washington and at Dallas on Thanksgiving Day.
Davis, plagued by injuries the last three seasons, tore cartilage in his knee in the second quarter of last weekend's 26-16 win over San Diego. He played the rest of the game, rushing for 83 yards on 33 carries.
Davis was playing in his second straight game after missing six games following surgery on his right knee Sept. 20. Since becoming the NFL's MVP in 1998, Davis has missed 30 of Denver's last 38 games.

'Hawks to meet Texas A&M after close loss to Nebraska

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
Kylie Thomas, junior middle blocker, goes up for a block against a teammate during a Kansas practice.
After dropping a close match at home against No. 2 Nebraska on Saturday, the Kansas volleyball team hit the road for another challenging match against No. 15 Texas A&M at 7 tonight in College Station, Texas.

Texas A&M leads the series with Kansas, 12.0. The Jayhawks lost to the Aggies, 3-1, at home on Oct. 17.
Senior outside hitters Erin Lechler and Brandi Mount lead the Aggie offense, each averaging better than 3.3 kills per game. Senior setter Jenna Moscovic is another offensive threat. Moscovic averages 2.3 kills per game, the highest average by a setter in the Big 12 Conference.
"There are certain setters that you just commit your back row to and then there are setters like Moscovic who you also need to commit a front row player to." Kansas head coach Ray Bechard said. "When she's on the front row one of our front row blockers will have to shadow her. It puts a little more pressure on your blocking scheme."

Game: Team sluggish at end
Boschee paced the first-half charge in which the Jayhawks shot 68.6 percent from the field, hit eight three-pointers and put four players in double figures. The Kansas defense even came close to causing more Tiger turnovers —18 — than Tiger points allowed — 20 — in the first half.

20 — in the first half.
After seeing fellow freshman forward Wayne Simien grab headlines following Kansas' first exhibition game, swingman Keith Langford grabbed the lead freshman role last night with a 14-point performance.
The Fort Worth, Texas native approached perfection in the first half by scoring 12 points on five-five shooting. In addition to dropping two three-pointers on the night, Langford scored six points on three offensive rebounds.
offensive rebounds. "He really works at his rebounding." Williams said of Langford. "Some of the other guards don't necessarily focus on rebounding, but he does. We'd like to have that rebounding every game from him."
Williams was also pleased with his guard play last night. Boschee, junior guard Kirk Hinrich and freshman guard Aaron Miles combined for 19 assists with two turnovers. Hinrich posted a team-high nine assists complementing his 14 points.
assists complementing his 14 point Despite the numerous positives, Williams said he was upset with the Jayhawks' lackluster second half. Kansas outscored the Tigers 31-21 and looked sluggish throughout the last 20 minutes.
Williams said he wanted to work on his team's consistency in the four practices before the regular season opener against Ball State at the Maui Invitational on Monday.
"I do think we gained some ground tonight, but my job is to coach everyone for 40 minutes, and I was disappointed with the second half." Williams said. "I don't feel much better after tonight, but we really have improved. We mostly need to work on maintaining concentration."

Langford: Exhibition rout eases freshman nerves
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
to him after the first exhibition game about freshmen typically having ups and downs during the season, and told the freshman swingman he needed to keep playing hard. Langford did just that, crashing the offensive boards. The result was three easy put-backs.

"It's an easy way to score," Langford said. "Coach can't complain about your shooting if there's nobody there to stop you."
Langford said he felt comfortable going to the offensive boards because that's what he did in high school. He also felt more comfortable with the college game in general after his second game of the season, he said. Although Kansas wasn't facing a Big 12 Conference opponent, Langford said the exhibition game was good for his confidence.
CHRIS BURKET/KANSAN
Keith Langford, freshman guard-forward, drives toward the basket against Fort Hays State senior forward Jarod Eck. Langford was six-for-six from the field and had three offensive rebounds.
"It helps going into the Maui tournament," Langford said. "If the freshmen step up, the team's going to be a lot deeper."
Langford said he had been preoccupied with
his mistakes in the first game but that after a conversation with his mother, he was much more comfortable in game two.
In fact, his biggest critic was in the crowd, so he said he was pleased to have such a great game.
"She told me to relax." Langford said. "She's my biggest critic."
"It all came together at the right time," Langford said.

Nets break Indiana's winning streak
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Jason Kidd and Keith Van Horn made sure there wouldn't be another comeback for the Indiana Pacers.
Kidd scored 20 points and had 10 assists, and Van Horn added 15 points and 13 rebounds as the New Jersey Nets beat the Pacers 91-82 last night.
The Pacers had won four straight, rallying from double-digit deficits in the last three. Indiana
closed within four points midway through the fourth quarter after trailing by 16 in the first half.
But the Nets (6-1), off to their best start in the team's NBA history, went on a 12-2 run to stretch their lead to 86-72.
The Nets made three of four shots during the run and outrebounded Indiana 7-3.
"Defense has got to be our staple," New Jersey coach Byron Scott said. "You're not going to make every shot, but what you
can control is being aggressive and being tenacious on the boards. We did that when the game was on the line."
New Jersey has limited opponents to 42 percent shooting, eighth best in the NBA. Kidd said tough defense stymied the Pacers in their attempt for another comeback.
"We've got to be able to play defense," Kidd said. "We've got to be able to stop guys. We made them make tough shots and were able to make the rebounds."
Kidd scored eight points in the first quarter, and the Nets shot 54 percent from the floor, building a 32-16 lead. They led 45-35 at halftime.
Rose, who was 7-for-21 after scoring 43 against the Nets in the season opener, said he wasn't concerned about the lethargic start because the Pacers proved they could rally.
"You can start slow if you finish strong, and today we didn't finish strong," he said.
McGwire makes up mind — retirement will last
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Mark McGwire said there's "zero" chance he'll be like Michael Jordan and come out of retirement.
In his first interview since retiring Sunday, McGwire told ESPN that his mind was made up.
"Michael Jordan can control the game," McGwire said yesterday. "Give me the ball, I'll do what I want with it. When you're a power hitter, you're not in control of anything. There's absolutely no way. Zero."
McGwire hit 583 home runs, 17 short of becoming only the fourth player in major league history to hit 600. Although he said his 400th and 500th homers were special, he doesn't want to chase numbers for numbers sake.
"I am not going to stick around the game to climb up the ladder," McGwire said. "I've never been like that, I never will be like that."
McGwire felt he was just taking up roster space for the St. Louis Cardinals, the way his career wound down.
He missed most of the second
half of the 2000 season with an injured right knee and only batted .187 with 29 homers in his final year.
"Heck, the last year and-a-half I basically wasn't even in existence in baseball," McGwire said. "I feel like I've been hanging around."
That said, McGwire feels he'll be a first-ballot Hall of Famer along with Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn in five years.
"It's just something that comes after you have a fantastic career," McGwire said. "And if the writers vote me in the first time with Cal
and Tony, that would be totally awesome."
McGwire said a combination of factors led to his decision to walk away from a $30 million, two-year contract extension, including the injuries.
meeting the injury.
"You can't say that it was the season, you can't say it was the injury, the surgery." McGwire said. "My mind and body are worn out from playing baseball since I was 12-years old."
"I'm done. I've always told myself I'm not going to hang around and just be another player."

Comedian jailed after relapse
The Associated Press
SANTA MONICA, Calif. Paula Poundstone was jailed yesterday by a judge who said the comedian relapsed during treatment at the drug and alcohol rehabilitation center where she was sent after pleading no-contest to child endangerment charges.
The treatment program alerted Superior Court Judge Bernard Kamins that Poundstone suffered a relapse involving the use of unprescribed drugs or medications, according to the prosecutor.
The specific substance was not disclosed during the hearing and attorneys would not elaborate afterward.
Kamins did not specify how long Poundstone would be in jail, saying it could be anywhere from
two days to a month.
"If someone has a dirty test or missed test I would remand them to custody." Kamins explained to her. "I would intend to do that in your case."
He asked her if she would admit she had violated probation.
"Yes," she said softly. She was put in handcuffs as supporters wept in the courtroom.
Poundstone, who has three adopted children and had two foster children until her June 27 arrest was originally charged with three counts of committing a lewd act on a girl under age 14 and endangering two other girls and two boys.
nesses believed she appeared intoxicated while driving with children.
Poundstone's relationship to the children in the case and the alleged actions were not released by prosecutors. Her attorney has said that in one instance wit-
She pleaded no contest Sept. 12 to felony child endangerment and misdemeanor inflicting injury on a child. The lewd conduct charges were dropped. Poundstone blamed drinking for some of her problems but insisted there was no lewd conduct.
She was sentenced last month to 180 days at the Promises treatment center in Malibu, including 125 days she had already spent there.
Prosecutor Gina Satriano said outside court that relapses were common in such cases and "it doesn't mean there's still not progress. There has to be some consequence for a relapse."
Defense attorney Steven Cron refused comment.

In those four games, Kansas scored just 23 combined points. In the season's other five games, Kansas has averaged 25 points per game.

Some disagree with bombing during month of Ramadan
By Ryan Malashock Kansan staff writer
United States bombing missions in Afghanistan may lead to controversy if battles continue after tomorrow.
U. S. military efforts are set to collide with religious tradition — the beginning of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.
For Muslims worldwide, Ramadan signifies a month of peace, intense worship, daily fasting and humble reflection on life.
Ninety-nine percent of the people living in Afghanistan are Muslim, but Ramadan might be the last thing on their minds when the holiday begins Friday.
Beverly Mack, associate professor of African-American studies, has taught a Women in Islam class at the University of Kansas and has spent time in Muslim-populated areas around the world.
Mack said fighting in Afghanistan during Ramadan was a touchy issue. She said it would be difficult for the U.S. to respect the ways of Islam in regards to Afghanistan because Muslims in the country do not practice Islam in its "true sense."
sense.
"War is war," Mack said. "In war, people would surely attack us on any holiday. If these were good Muslims observing Islam in a good way, then this all wouldn't be happening."
Mack said since the Taliban took control, women in Afghanistan have been largely discriminated against, which is against the teachings of the Quran, the Islamic holy book.
Quran, the Islamic way
"If we were dealing with devout Muslims, I'd feel differently," Mack said. "They haven't followed their rules, so why should we?"
Asma Rehman, Kansas City, Mo. junior, disagrees with Mack.
She said Ramadan was a time of peace and fasting and should be respected no matter what the circumstances are in Afghanistan.
stories are in argument.
"Even if someone doesn't adhere to Islam to the fullest, it's still a special month to any Muslim," Rehman said.

Regents up credit minimum
Unscheduled proposal increases junior-senior hour requirement to 54
By Luke Daley and Paul Smith Kansan staff writers
The Kansas Board of Regents unanimously approved a policy yesterday that could keep Kansas college students in school longer.
The Regents increased the number of upper-division courses required for a baccalaureate degree to a minimum of 54 credit hours.
credit hours.
Now, the Regents require 40
junior/senior credit hours out of the total
124 required to graduate.
The policy approved yesterday by the Regents, who oversee all state highereducation institutions, will not take effect until Fall 2003.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said that whether the policy would apply only to incoming freshmen in 2003 or to all students enrolled during the 2003-04 academic year was unclear at the meeting.
The proposal to increase the upperdivision minimums came from Regent Jack Wempe, a Lyons Democrat. The proposal was not a scheduled item on the Regents' agenda. Wempe did not return phone calls late yesterday.
phone calls to you today.
“This sort of took everyone by surprise,” Hemenway said. “Students will need to look at their degree programs and see how this will affect their progress
toward a degree."
toward a degree.
Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the new policy was a dramatic change to the previous Regents policy.
change to the previous "To require 54 credit hours at the junior/senior level would pose significant problems for most of our students," Houston said.
Justin Mills, student body president, who attended the meeting, said he was displeased that the Regents did not seek the advice of KU students, administrators or faculty.
"I just don't understand how they could make that decision without the students' input," Mills said.
Although each school has different general education and upper-division course
requirements, Houston said it would be difficult for CLAS students to meet both CLAS general-education requirements and the Regents requirements.
"When you bring the degree requirements into the mix as well, I think it would take most students more than 124 credit hours to graduate," Houston said.
Hemenway said that the motivation for the new policy was unclear and added that both Regents staff and KU administrators in academic affairs would begin looking at the effects of the Regents policy today.

Unable to coax the cat into her hands, Fisk climbed back down and waited with other bystanders for help. They waited until Facilities Operations workers arrived with a cherry picker to try to pluck the cat from the tree. The cat was frightened by the noise of the vehicle and ran down the tree and was eventually caught.

Repeated classes could affect professional school status
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Professional schools might be allowed to give admissions preference to students who have not used the course repeat policy.
Student advocates voiced concern last week that professional schools, which have autonomy in setting admissions standards, would reject students who had retaken courses.
who have reteated on who the retake policy, approved by Chancellor Robert Hemenway last summer, will allow students to repeat any class beginning next semester in which they receive a D or F in order to boost their grade point averages. The original grades will remain on the transcript.
James Carothers; associate provost, said that the draft set of instructions now being considered for advising would ensure that only the repeat grade would be calculated into the student GPA considered by the professional schools but the original grade could be factored into admissions decisions.
"I don't think we'll have a problem as long as students understand that there are no guarantees of admission," Carothers said.
Carothers said. The clarification of how the course repeat policy was needed so that students would be given clear and consistent advising, said Carothers.
The professional schools are allied health, architecture and urban design, business, education, engineering, fine arts, journalism and mass communications, pharmacy and social welfare.
The deans are now considering the draft set of instructions.
Bill Fuerst, dean of the School of Business, said that his
school would consider both the original and repeat grades.
"The University has given us the opportunity to make final decisions on individual admissions based on all information available." Fuerst said.
He also said that the policy would not have a great impact on the school.
"Our average GPA in last year's class was approximately 3.4, so we don't anticipate using the full history," Fuerst said.
Nick Lerner, Albuquerque junior, said it made sense to give admissions preference to students who did not use the course repeat policy.
"If someone passes a class the first time, it might mean they're a better overall student," Lerner said.

Florida woman pleads guilty to defrauding Kansas banks
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A Florida woman has admitted she defrauded two Kansas banks of more than $100,000.
Bonnie Baker, of Clearwater Beach,
pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of
bank fraud, said U.S. Attorney Jim Flory.
Baker, 54, faces a maximum of 30 years in federal prison without parole. Sentencing is Feb. 4.
Baker wrote more than 750 checks from accounts at Metcalf Bank and Capitol Federal Savings, both of Overland Park, Flory said.
Baker deposited the checks into the accounts to artificially inflate their balances, causing the banks to honor checks for which she had insufficient funds, Flory said.
Capital Federal Savings lost about $119,342, he said.

Desegregation case settled after 32 years of court battle
RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia will give $10 million to two historically African-American universities as part of a settlement to end a 30-year desegregation battle with the federal government.
Under the agreement with the U.S. Department of Education that was announced Tuesday, the money will be used to improve buildings and finance six new academic degrees each at Norfolk State University and Virginia State University.
Both schools are to get the money by Sept, 30, 2004.
The settlement comes 32 years after the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights informed Virginia it was operating a public system of higher education segregated by race. In response, Virginia developed a plan to dismantle the system and attract African-American students to predominantly Caucasian colleges.
In the settlement, the department acknowledged that a three-year review of Virginia's system found no lingering signs of historical discrimination.

Northern alliance fighters move into Taliban bases
Associated Press
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban's enemies took over the military and police headquarters in the Afghan capital yesterday and wrested control of the eastern city of Jalalabad. In the south, there were the first signs that tribes once aligned with the hardline Islamic regime were joining the revolt.
A day after seizing the capital, elements of the northern alliance consolidated their power by taking over the defense and interior ministries—temporary measures, the alliance insisted, until a U.N.-supervised political settlement representing all ethnic groups.
representing an exciting change.
In the south, many of Afghanistan's 23 or more Pashtun groups appeared to have risen up against the Taliban, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem said. "Whether or not they're working in concert, we don't know," he told reporters in Washington.
The tribal leaders were Pashtun—members of Afghanistan's largest ethnic group, which served as the backbone of the Taliban's
There were even reports — although impossible to confirm — of fighting in the streets of Kandahar, the Taliban's birthplace.

Data obtained from flight box
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—Crash investigators said yesterday that they were managing to get information from the flight data recorder of American Flight 587, despite damage to the black box
Marion Blakey, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said the manufacturer was able to repair the device and data was being looked at by investigators.
The flight data recorder that could provide clues to Monday's mysterious crash, including why the tail fin tore away shortly after takeoff.
Both of the plane's engines have been recovered and taken to a hangar at Kennedy International Airport, where the plane took off Monday morning.
The data recorder monitors nearly 200 separate functions in the european-made jetliner,
Three minutes after takeoff, the plane began shedding parts and nose-dived into a Queens neighborhood, killing 265 people. Authorities have not ruled out any cause, but say all signs point to a mechanical failure.
The scorched and battered data recorder, one of the plane's two "black boxes," was recovered Tuesday. It was repaired by L-3 Communications, its manufacturer in Sarasota, Fla.
including rudder movements.
In particular, investigators hope the flight data will shed light on why the vertical stabilizer, or tail fin, sheared away.
The tail fin was fished out of Jamaica Bay on Monday, a short distance from the crash site; the rudder was found nearby on Tuesday. The rudder, which is supported by the tail fin, controls the plane's turns from side to side.
The 27-foot-tall tail fin was ripped off the fuselage cleanly, as if it had been sliced by a knife. David Stempler, president of the Air Travelers Association, said he and several pilots he spoke to were struck by the sight.
One possibility investigators are considering is that the Airbus A300 broke apart after hitting turbulence from a plane taking off before it. The pilots on Flight 587 mentioned hitting wake turbulence, which is believed to have contributed to other deadly airline crashes.
photograph. "It's as if you had a model of an airplane and you just snapped the stabilizer off." he said. "It's really shocking and surprising."
Blakey said Flight 587 apparently took off one minute and 45 seconds after a Japan Airlines jumbo jet — less than the two-minute window that is the standard amount of time between takeoffs.

Tobacco companies won't have to pay for medical tests
WHEELING, W.Va. - Jurors rejected a lawsuit yesterday that sought to force four tobacco companies to pay for annual medical tests for 250,000 healthy West Virginia smokers.
St. Vincent
The six-person jury, nearly all of them former smokers, said people with a five-year, pack-a-day habit had an increased risk of disease but didn't need medical monitoring.
Jurors also concluded that cigarettes were not a defective product and manufacturers were not negligent in designing, making or selling them.
the lawsuit was the first of its kind to be tried in the United States.
R. J. Reynolds attorney Jeff Furr said he believed the verdict showed that jurors were impressed with the research tobacco companies had done to try to reduce the hazards of smoking.
reduce the risky "It a recognition by this jury that cigarettes are risky, but everyone knows they are risky, and the companies have done all they can to make them less risky." Furr said.
Scott Segal, an attorney representing the smokers, said jurors might have been swayed by the fact that the monitoring technology was relatively new.
Segaal also said no decision had been made whether to appeal.

Steamy sex scenes excavated at ancient city bathhouse site
ROME — Archaeologists have unveiled another corner of ancient Pompeii, and this time it is an eyeful: a bathhouse with a unisex dressing room whose lockers sport erotic sex scenes.
Italian officials inaugurated the new addition to the sprawling ancient city yesterday. Pompelli was buried by ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79, and the archaeological site near Naples is one of Italy's biggest tourist attractions.
Much of ancient Pompeii is still being excavated. Nearly a half-century ago archaeologists uncovered the remains of the thermal bathhouse, which featured a marvel of plumbing for those times: a swimming pool heated to a constant temperature.
Starting next month, the new discovery will be open to the public. In addition to a sauna room and pools for washing in hot and cold water, tourists will be able to see an ancient version of lockers — chests to store their clothes while dipping in the pools.
Archaeologists said there was only one changing room, likely used by both sexes.

Talks center on minority recruitment
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
Student Body President Justin Mills said the University of Kansas would have a shot at becoming a university that was representative of the community if it devoted as much time and effort to minority recruitment as it did for recruitment of National Merit Scholars.
Mills spoke to about 30 people yesterday at a forum on minority recruitment and retention at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Kansas only has 97 more minority students in that same time period.
According to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, the University has 537 merit scholars, which is 108 more than in 1996.
Mills said the Chancellor outlined goals in 1995 for recruiting merit scholars and minority students.
The Chancellor met his goals for increasing the number of merit scholars at the University, but he failed to do so for minority students, Mills said.
Mills gave recommendations on how to improve minority recruitment and retention.
The Chancellor was unavailable for comment yesterday.
He suggested the University become involved in communities in western Kansas, to recruit minority students from other states and to find ways to provide more scholarships and grants to minority students.
But one of the biggest things he stressed was coordinating minority programs in the different schools on campus so all minority students would have a group to belong to.
"Retention is just as important as recruitment." Mills said.
"Most students who stay around for two years are more likely to graduate in five years," he said. "It only makes the University community a more vibrant, colorful place."

Handful turns out for talk on stopping hate
Tony Daniels' motivation to stop hate came from his grandmother, who was a victim of a hate crime.
Daniels, interim assistant director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said some men threw bottles at his grandmother, who is African American, when she was young, injuring her.
"It's my personal motivation to be an advocate and an ally," he said.
That incident is one reason Daniels wants to do something about hate.
He and 15 others attended a town hall meeting yesterday at the Burge Union to address the issue of hate. The meeting, "It's Time to Stop Hate," was part of
Because of the low turnout, the meeting turned into a group discussion with everyone being allowed time to talk if they wanted.
Gabriel Roland, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said people hated what they didn't understand.
Roland said he thought a lot of people sometimes used religion as a reason to hate.
"They'd rather get mad," he said. "It requires less brain power."
Hate Out Week activities.
But he said it was OK to agree to disagree about issues as well.
"One thing that people get mixed up is the notion that we're supposed to like each other," he said. "If we're going to be citizens in this country, then we need to treat each other
equally. I can disagree, but that doesn't mean I hate you and want to cause you harm. It's okay not to see eye to eye."
Santos Nunez, program director for the Multicultural Resource Center, said she was somewhat disappointed more people didn't attend the program but was happy those who attended were able to share their experiences.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said it had started to train officers in diversity.
"We've come a long way to work to improve ourselves on that end," Maillen said.
"It was very beneficial to all of us," Nunez said. "We're all in this fight to stop hate in our own ways."

Card ban passes committees
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
A petition to ban credit card solicitation on campus was passed last night in Student Senate committee meetings.
The bill, passed in the Student Rights and University Affairs committees, will go to full Senate for a vote in two weeks.
Karen Keith, off-campus senator, said that she didn't think that the University should allow solicitation that targeted students who bought on impulse.
She said that some of the credit card solicitors that had tables on campus didn't even have permission from the University.
She added that she didn't think that they behaved responsibly by giving away free merchandise to entice students to apply for credit cards.
Andy Knopp, engineering senator and University Daily
Kansan editorial board member, said that it should not be Senate's decision to ban credit card solicitors from campus.
"It's not like they're shoving a PIN down our throats and making us use them," Knopp said. "I think we need to trust students."
Knopp said that he would be more open to banning all solicitation on campus, as opposed to singling out one commercial group.
Matt Steppe, Student Legislative Awareness Board director, said that credit card solicitors lied to students by not telling them that they could get bad credit by being rejected for the credit card applications that they fill out to receive the free merchandise.
All bills that passed through committees will go to full Senate for a final vote.

The entire crew from the original movie reunites after their first year in college instead of Jim going to Europe to meet Nadia, she is coming as well. Jim is still upperclass about meeting Nadia since his one-night stand with Michelle on pmn night did not give him the confidence he had hoped for; my travel band came for advice from the sage flusthe Michelle. As the guys head home for summer, their plans involve moving a bench house or take Michigan. And the wrestling parties the group finds that while people and times do change, it’s all about sticking together.
This is the story of Hedwig Schmidt (John Cannon Mitchell), a German immigrant living in a trailer in East Berlin when the family of a botched sex change operation, leaving Hedwig in a state of transition from her life as Hassel. Backed by the Angry Inch, the group navigates through her life and her experiences in search for her other half...it’s a rocking ride.

EDITORIAL Web site could open world of arts to students
Just as man cannot live on bread alone, students cannot live on education alone. The University of Kansas is home to some wonderful actors, musicians, artists and poets, but the student population at large may never be aware of their gifts.
The University, nevertheless, can allow students the option of signing up to receive information about the arts at the University when they enroll or online. This would bring student artists and their gifts into the spotlight.
The first thing needed for these inexpensive improvements is the creation of a listserv for campus artistic events. Katherine Pryor, associate director of the University Theatre, is in the process of implementing a listserv to inform interested students of upcoming plays. But to get on that list, you need to actually go to Murphy Hall to fill out information.
Murphy wants to know. Sure, that doesn't sound too difficult, but that only gets you on one list for one set of events. It would be nice to have a place on the KU homepage where students could sign up for e-mail notification of events in the arts. That wouldn't take much computer programming to implement or extra work. Most of the work would be in the hands of those who are running the art show, organizing the writing contest or producing the musical.
But listservs are only half the battle. Students often cannot easily get the information they need because the activity they're interested in has no current .0Web page. A Web page isn't too helpful if potential participants learn about activities that are "coming up" in April of 1997.
Charla Jenkins, University Theatre's director of public relations, has taken on the additional responsibility of webmaster to make sure that the theater stays current on information the students receive.
"Marketing research shows that people need seven exposures to a product or event" before they really notice it, Jenkins said. Between posters, signs, the Web page and the listserv, the theater is trying to grab as many exposures as they can on a limited budget.
The University shouldn't let a limited budget stop these artistic endeavors. Giving graduate students in computer engineering the opportunity to earn class credit for designing some Web sites would require no money. He or she could coordinate their efforts, increase revenue and attract attention to student run or produced shows.
The possibilities of Internet promotion of the arts are only limited by one's imagination.
imaginations. Perhaps a message board could be created for budding poets to announce a reading that they've organized. Maybe the University could generate revenue with a classified section. Bands could use it to announce that they're looking for a new bass player.
With a minimal amount of money, the University could easily use the information superhighway as a way to give this campus a cultural boost and enrich the artistic community.

Drink all you want,but don't disrespect the Burrito King
A sign hanging inside Burrito King reads, "Bar goes closed, stomach goes growl, mouth goes open." Other instructions could be added to that sign, such as horn goes honk, mouth vells obscenity — you get the idea.
Bad behavior runs rampant at Burrito King late at night, and that's a problem students can fix.
Many bar-going students at the University of Kansas obey the sign's message every Thursday, Friday or Saturday night, and that leads them to Burrito King, 9th and Illinois St. The restaurant caters to the late-night crowd by staying open from 7 a.m. until 3 a.m. It does most of its business between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.
Many students, especially the bar crowd, enjoy eating the largest burritos in Lawrence for $2.25 to $3.25, and that's just fine with Burrito King owner Franky Salazar.
He said his restaurant served about 70 to 80 cars between 1 and 3 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The late-night crowd helps keep him in business and he's happy to meet students' needs.
But everything comes with a price. Some customers have created disturbances for Salazar and some of his customers. Noise complaints are a frequent occurrence at The King because many customers are impatient and honk their horns which disturbs neigh-

But other problems also arise.
Salazar said being honked at, yelled at and cussed at doesn't bother him, but that still doesn't mean people should do it. Being drunk is not an excuse to disrespect Salazar, his employees, customers and neighbors. It is not necessary to honk or yell at them. They're not going to spit in your food if you do it, but they might work a little faster if you respect them and their work.
Curtis Sample, first year law student from Lenexa, agrees. He lives one block from Burrito King and eats there three days a week. He said he enjoys the friendly service and food, but he
"We've had to kick quite a few people off of the property," Salazar said. "We've had fights and broken windows. But that (honking) is probably the biggest problem we have during the bar rush. The neighbors all complain because they're trying to sleep, and some of them have kids."
said customers should treat the employees better.
"People come by The King drunk and honk and yell at the employees." Sample said. "Let me tell you: You don't disrespect The King. When you disrespect The King you start honking, you start yelling and you get impatient. My roommates and I have witnessed people honking several times, but we tell them not to honk because it's only going to make you wait longer to get your food."
On Saturday night, one of Burrito King's drive-thru lines was eight cars long, and the other window had a five-carline. Eight people stood at the walk-up window, too. A car honked, a guy shouted an obscenity at the drive-up window. There were no fights on this night, but there was a lot of rude, drunken behavior.
Customers have a responsibility — whether sober or not — to treat employees with respect.
The employees of Burrito King are looking our for you, so look out for them by showing them some respect. Keep patronizing their restaurant after a fun night at the bars and keep feeding your craving for munchies with the biggest burritos in town — but please, don't disrespect The King.

First Nations people's roots sprouted ideas of democracy
Most people don't know that the U.S. Constitution can be traced in the culture of First Nations peoples.
The Haudenosaunee, who were known as Hurons at an earlier time and are more commonly known today as Iroquois or the Iroquois Confederacy, was an alliance of nations composed of the Oneida, Cayuga, Mohawks, Onondaga and Senecas.
The founding ideologies and principles of the democracy we know today can be found within the Haudenosaunee.
Before the arrival of the Europeans, these nations in the northeastern United States had united and formed a confederation based on what was known as the Great Law of Peace.
Free speech, debate and the concept of federalism, as well as the legislative structure — Senate and House — can be directly traced to Native roois. At least two people who helped draft the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin and John Rutledge, had firsthand knowledge of The Great Law of Peace.
Distinct portions of that law are weaved into the democracy that we live in today.
Both wrote and spoke extensively about its attributes.

At the Constitutional Convention, James Wilson, another key participant, used Iroquois imagery of the strength of a bundle of arrows versus the strength of a single arrow while promoting the "unite or die" slogan. In fact, two of the symbols proudly adopted and displayed in The Great Seal of the United States, the eagle and the bundle of arrows, are symbolic of Native ideology.
Evidence can be found in both the Albany Plan of the Union and the Stamp Act Congress. Further investigation and interpretation can be found in a special issue of the Northeast Indian Quarterly published in late 1988. The issue is titled "Haudenosaunee Speakers."

COACHING SEARCH Football coach spot still undetermined
LAWRENCE—Former Ohio State football coach John Cooper says he would be interested in the vacant coaching job at Kansas but has not been contacted by the school.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma associate head coach Mike Stoops declined to comment on whether he was contacted by Kansas, or whether he would be interested in replacing Terry Allen.
Cooper compiled a 111-43-4 record with the Buckeyes during a 14-year span. He was let go earlier this year after struggling to records of 3-8 in bowl games and 2-10-1 against Big Ten rival Michigan.
Other coaches reportedly interested in the Jayhawks' vacancy include Michigan State defensive coordinator Bill Miller and former Oklahoma State head coach Pat Jones. Fresno State coach Pat Hill, whom KU Athletic Director Allen Bohl hired for his former school in 1997, said he had talked with Bohl about the Kansas job. Former Georgia coach Jim Donnan and former Arizona coach Dick Tomey have declined to comment.

KANSAS SPORTS T-shirts to be sold bv student-athletes
Student-athletes will sell "Feel the pride" T-shirts today and tomorrow in front of Wesco Hall to benefit the American Cancer Society.
The student-athletes, who represent the University of Kansas Student Athletic Advisory Committee, will also sell the royal-blue
shirts at Saturday's Kansas-
la State football game at
Memorial Stadium. The
shirts will cost $5.
Nancy Bell, Orland Park, Ill., senior, is a member of the committee and a former Kansas volleyball player. She said the committee hoped to see students wearing the T-shirts in the stands on Saturday.
"You go to Nebraska, you see a sea of red," Bell said. "We don't really have that here. We wanted to try to develop that and do something good for someone else."
KANSAS RUGBY Men, women pummel opponents at tourney
The Kansas men's and women's rugby teams each took first place in three games at last weekend's Ozark Rugby Tournament.
Both teams dominated their opponents — the men's team outscored opposing teams 117-10, while the women dashed three teams for a combined score of 179-10.
After pounding Arkansas 57-0 on Saturday, the men's team handled John Brown College 45-0. The win put Kansas in Sunday's championship game against Illinois. Kansas won the championship by defeating the Fighting Illini 15-10.
The women's team embarrassed Arkansas State 83-0 on Saturday. A 56-0 win against Oklahoma State put the women in the title match later that day. A 40-10 win against Arkansas on Sunday gave the Jayhawks their second straight title in the annual tournament.

Recruits: Players verbally commit

Pittman said several positives could result from the change.
going to Kansas, the coach that recruited me got fired," Wier recalled. "But, as a high school kid, you soon realize that the next coach will recruit you the same."
"They know they're going to get a five-year commitment from a new coach, so that's going to be a good sale for us," said Pittman, who said a new coach could also bring recruits from an entirely new area as well.
Although coaches aren't allowed to speak about specific recruits,the early signs have shown that this could be a solid recruiting season.
Two highly touted high school quarterbacks gave verbal commitments to Kansas earlier this week. Nick Reid of Derby and Graeme McFarland of Mountain Brook High in Birmingham, Ala., both announced their intentions to come to Kansas next year. Both quarterbacks are among the highest rated prep athletes in their states according to recruiting service Rivals.com.
Notes: Former Ohio State coach John Cooper told the Kansas City Star that a "headhunter" from Kansas contacted him about the job opening. Cooper said he hadn't been officially contacted about the job, but that he would be interested if the opportunity arose.
Cooper was an assistant at Kansas from 1967-72. In 13 years at Ohio State, he compiled a 111-43-4 record.
The Kansas Athletics Department has refused to discuss potential candidates for the coaching vacancy.

Guards are in top form on all sides
**Guard** (gard) *v.* To watch over or shield from danger or harm -n. Basketball stars that can score, pass and steal at will. The best of which can be found at Kansas.
OK, OK. So, I may have doctored up Webster's version just a bit, but let's face it, this year Roy Williams has quite an arsenal at his disposal. And of all positions, he's especially loaded at guard.
The Kansas men's basketball coach has both quantity and quality at the position, and even though the front-court could be the nation's best, according to ESPN.com, the difference makers this year might just come from the guard position.
This year's group of guards is filled with some great shooters and fantastic ball distributors. It also has guys with promise on the defensive side as well. This year's squad has it all, and they're lead by the complete package: Kirk Hinrich.
Kirk Hinrich. Hinrich is one of the best talents in the nation. Duke's Jason Williams and Illinois' Frank Williams are the top floor generals in the country, but after those two, I'd give the ball to Kirk any day of the week.
day of Hinrich can do it all. He can score, he can pass and he can defend. Hinrich showed flashes of all three Tuesday night when he shot 6 of 9 from the floor, grabbed three steals and had a 9-0 assist-to-turnover ratio against Fort Hays State. Hinrich made more strides this summer than any other returning jayhawk and is poised to have a big junior campaign.
Another great guard in the Kansas lineup is Jeff Boschee, who returns for his senior year and looks to play a huge role in the Jayhawk backcourt. Boschee will likely break Billy Thomas' three-point record by midseason, and if he shoots like he did Tuesday night (5-7 from three-point range) he could have it before Christmas.
Then there's Aaron Miles, the blue-chipper from Portland, Ore. Miles comes in ranked by many as the second-best recruit at point guard in the entire nation. He'll have some big shoes to fill because he's wearing Jacque Vaughn's old number, but if he continues to dazzle fans with fancy dribbling and behind-the-back passes like he has so far, claiming No. 11 as his own won't be a problem.
Starting Hinrich, Boschee and Miles definitely makes for a smaller lineup, but so far no one's complaining as the trio is finding numerous ways to score and has set up its front-court mates on plenty of occasions.
court mates on play with If Williams decides to stick with the three-guard lineup, some of the best guard talent in the nation will be on display all at once. Fortunately for Kansas though, the good play at guard doesn't stop with the starters.
First off the bench is another Jayhawk debuting in the backcourt this year, shooting guard Keith Langford. The Fort Worth, Texas, freshman gave Kansas fans a glimpse of his potential Tuesday when he put up 14 points on 6-of-6 shooting. His ability to score from both inside and out should help the Jayhaws immediately this year.
Senior Brett Ballard and freshman Michael Lee are very capable backups and help to make this unit the deepest one on the team. It's arguably Williams' best set of guards ever.
If this group plays to its potential and makes headlines in March, my guard definition might not sound so silly. This could be a defining year for Kansas basketball, but it has to start with the guards.

Ready for postseason p
Soccer team will play Brigham Young today in its first-ever appearance at the NCAA tournament
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
For the first time ever, the Kansas soccer team will get a taste of the big dance — November madness, if you will.
The Jayhawks (13-6) travel to Lincoln, Neb., to take on Brigham Young in the first round of the NCAA tournament at 4:30 p.m. today Host Nebraska will take on Boston College in the other game
played in Lincoln. The two winners will meet at 7 p.m. Saturday.
After recording losing seasons every year since its 1995 debut, Kansas will finally get a share of the national spotlight.
"I think it's great," coach Mark Francis said. "We have made huge hurds this year."
This year's squad has beaten nearly every Kansas record in the book. However, even with the team's accomplishments this season, the Kansas soccer program has never won a postseason game.
ay
The team's attempt to remove that stain in the Big 12 tournament was unsuccessful, as they fell 1-0 in double overtime to Missouri. The at-large berth that the Jayhawks received Monday gave them life after the season and the missed
chance in Big 12 tournament play
Although most of the team is new to the NCAA tournament experience, three players — junior midfielder Brooke Jones, sophomore forward Lacey Woolf and junior defender Pardis Brown — participated in past tournaments for other schools.
"It's a lot different," said Jones, who transferred from Nebraska before this season. "If you lose, you're done. It's great to be here and obviously it's great for our program."
Brigham Young (13-6-1) earned an automatic bid after capturing the regular season and Mountain West Conference tournament titles. The team is making its fifth-straight appearance in the tournament.
"They play with me ve midfielders, so obviously we're goi g to have to play some defense." Jone said. "We need to keep doing what we e been doing."
Notes:
- Three other teams from the Big 12 Conference are making appearances in the NCAA tournament. Texas, Texas A&M and Nebraska are joining the Jayhawks in the 64-team bracket. Texas and Kansas are making their first appearance.
Brown hails from Salt Lake City, Utah, hometown of Brigham Young. Her father, Mansour Arizi and played soccer for the Cougars.

Despite Saturday victory, Fort Hays State snagged nearly twice as many boards as Kansas
Kansas senior center Kristin Geoffroy puts up a shot against a Houston Jaguars defender during the Jayhawks' first exhibition game last week. Geoffroy and Kansas were out rebounded by Fort Hays State on Saturday 48-30.
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
Although the season has yet to begin, the Kansas women's basketball team already recognizes that rebounding is a weak area.
Saturday afternoon against Fort Hays State, Kansas failed to use its height advantage, beginning early in the game. By halftime, Fort Hays State tallied almost twice as many rebounds as Kansas, 32-17, with the Jayhawks leading by only eight points. In the end, the Tigers won the battle of the boards 48-30, but Kansas managed to pull out the victory 72-56.
Three Jayhawk seniors contributed a team-high four rebounds each — center Nikki White, guard Kristin Geoffroy and guard K.C. Hilgenkamp. Meanwhile, two Tigers, junior forwards Selma Barbosa and Jamie Heimel, led Fort Hays State with nine rebounds each. Heiman and Barbosa are 6 feet and 6 feet 1 inch, respectively. Though Hilgenkamp is 5 feet 10 inches, White is taller than both Tigers at 6 feet 3 inches, and Geoffroy is 6 feet 6 inches.
White said she hoped the Jayhawks' difficulties off the boards wouldn't be a trend.
"We really needed to get our bodies on somebody and that's something we didn't do, get our bodies on them and push them back." White said, "I think we relied a lot on our athletic ability to jump them to get rebounds. That wasn't working and it took us too long to try and adjust."
look at too long. Kansas coach Marian Washington said she hoped to fix the rebounding problem any way she could.
"We're going to try as many different things as we can because it's got to be something that we commit to." Washington said. "We've been preaching it and we've
worked real hard on it. It will be something we work on every single day because we cannot have this kind of thing happen."
However, Washington said she was not discouraged by Saturday's performance.

Uncertain about their own future with the school, the coaches are being asked to convince top athletes that Kansas is the place for them. It's been a tough sell.
"I haven't seen anybody gain on it," said offensive line coach Sam Pittman, who said several recruits had been lost since the coaching change. "We're just trying to ride out the storm."
Recruiting has taken on a new challenge for the Kansas football coaching staff.
Interim coach Tom Hayes, who has been heavily involved in the recruiting

process since arriving in Lawrence last spring, said it had been important to stay in contact with recruits and answer questions they may have along the way.
The situation became unstable when former coach Terry Allen was fired early last week with three games remaining in the season.
As the transition continues, Kansas coaches have continued to hit the recruiting trail. Last week seven different coaches attended high school games to evaluate players. Coaches watch high school and junior college tapes daily as they continue to rank players.
"The day I heard it I was like. I'm not
However, in the process, the team may be losing potential recruits.
For Kansas seniors, the change is nothing new. Senior defensive back Brandon Wier was a senior at Olute North High School when Allen was hired. Allen brought his entire coaching staff from Northern Iowa, replacing the assistants that had been recruiting Wier.

Dancing delight
Dance
Beau Hancock, Hugoton sophomore, and Deanna Doyle, Shawnee Mission junior, execute their duet in "Power Surge."
Fall concert to kick off tonight in Lied Center
BY LAUREN BEATTY PHOTOS BYJOHN NOWAK
The University Dance Company performs "Allegro con Brio" during a rehearsal Monday night at the Lied Center. The dancers will be performing at 7:30 tonight and tomorrow at the Lied Center.
The mood backstage is charged with electricity. Dancers stretch, comb back stray pieces of hair and smooth their costumes.
The stage manager at the Lied Center reminds the dancers to keep their voices down, but they just can't help it. He tells them to take their places and the curtain files up. A false start—one performer juts on in stage too soon. Nervous giggles erupt from the dancers as the curtain comes back down and the music is recued.
It is a rehearsal only two days before the big show. For the entire semester, the University Dance Company has been hard at work preparing for the Fall Concert, which will take place at 7:30 p.m. tonight and tomorrow at the Lied Center. Admission to both performances is $7 general and $5 for students and senior citizens.
Hours of rehearsal time have been logged, the technical aspects have been worked and reworked, the costumes have been fitted and the music has been cued. For the members of the company, this is what it's all about. Performance in front of an audience is the dream of many of these young men and women. They don't mind giving up parties and sometimes sleep to rehearse. In fact, they welcome it.
"I live to perform," said Megan Jensen, vice president of the company and Olathe junior. "Everything I've worked for is about to pay off."
The University Dance Company started in 1978. The company has staged concerts each semester since that first fall. The concerts started in Hoch Auditorium, moved to the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall and have been performed in its most recent home, the Lied Center, since 1996.
The company begins anew each semester with new dancers and new choreographers. The auditions are at the start of the semester and rehearsals begin immediately. The choreographers pick the dancers according to how many people they will need in their dance. Choreographers are instructors and professors in the dance department and each semester the company brings in a special guest choreographer.
"It's an awesome experience because it's like being in a real company," said Brandi Scallom, president of the company. "You're responsible for learning tech, your moves and performing in front of an audience."
Auditions are open to anyone although dance majors are required to be a part of the company for at least two semesters.
"Anyone who has grown up dancing never wants to stop." Scallorn said. "If you love dancing, this experience is wonderful."
Scallorn, a Lee's Summit, Mo., junior, has been involved with the company for three semesters now and plans on continuing until she graduates.
Rehearsals for each dance are typically two to three times per week and last between two and three hours. For dancers who are in more than one act, the schedule is demanding.
"It's quite a commitment," Scallorn said. "We work really hard and the choreographers are great."
The concerts don't have an overall theme and this year there is a mix of ballet, jazz and modern dance.
"it's a good show for those who love dance and those who have never been to a dance recital," Scaillorn said.
Jeff Potter, Great Bend sophomore, is one of the few men in the company. He said there are benefits and drawbacks to being a lone male in dance.
"It's nice because there is less competition," Potter said. "But I'd like to see more guys get involved in dance."
"Everyone is optimistic and we have a lot of fun," Potter said. "You've been working so hard and it's finally paying off."
This fall, the concert consists of five dances choreographed by University faculty and special guest Karole Armitage. Armitage's dance is a romantic, lyrical number called "Power Surge." It is a mixture of ballet, modern and pop moves danced to Philip Glass" "Mishima String Quartet." Armitage studied dance in Lawrence, where she grew up, and trained at the North Carolina School of Arts. She now directs the Ballet de Lorraine.
Potter is majoring in dance and said he has to take technique classes to obtain his degree, but the fall concert is the best opportunity to perform live. He said the mood is always upbeat right before the show.
graduation year.
Jensen said the company, as well as the dance department as a whole, is like a family to her. She said because of all the hard work that goes into the show, she is disappointed by the frequent low turnouts at the concerts. She said she thought a lot of people simply didn't know about the concerts the company staged.
Dance instructor Willie Lenoir's piece is called "Oxford Suite, Part I," a lyrical dance to music by Ed Alleyne-Johnson. The choreography is derived from images of music.
"It's like an out-of-body experience," she said. "After the show is the best part, when everyone is coming up and congratulating you."
Patrick Suzeau, instructor of dance, has created a dance based on recent tragic events. "Opus 2001" features 17 dancers and the music of Henri Michaux.
"The energy of the music helps to propel the dance and the dancers," Hilding said.
Jensen said the best part of being in the show was after the actual dancing is over.
Muriel Cohan, instructor of dance, has choreographed "Figure Humeine" based on the poetry of Paul Eluard. Jerel Hilding, assistant professor of dance, has restaged his ballet "Allegro con Brio." Thirteen women and two men are in this ballet featuring Felix Mendelssohn's "String Symphony in G Minor." Hilding said Mendelssohn's music is influenced greatly by Johann Sebastian Bach. He said there is no overall theme or plot to his dance—he just got the inspiration from the music.
No matter how many people fill the seats, these dancers give it their all every night in order to capture the magic of dance.
"It's just a feeling you get when you're on stage," Potter said. "I can't explain it. It is a really good feel."

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8. Your work should be getting more interesting as you go along. Use what you're learning, plus the things you already use, to help a friend in need. He or she will think you're an angel.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 5.
Continue to push hard. You can assume new responsibilities and be abundantly rewarded. Don't be foolish with your money, even if you have plenty. It's better to be humble and secure.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
When you get like this, you're awesome.
You make things happen. People scurry to do your bidding. Sometimes you don't even have to tell them. But don't wait for that. Tell them.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
Do you feel pushed to take action? If some inner voice encouraging you to be bold? If what you do will help protect others, you're on the right track.
Trust those impulses.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8.
Follow through on a hunch and also on a good lead from a friend. It may be time to spend some money in order to ease some of your burden. How about hiring somebody to do a job you don't like?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5.
You've carefully chosen the course that should be followed. Others sought your advice, and you've solved every problem. You know what needs to be done and how to do it. When the commander gives the order, it's a go.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
It's slightly easier than usual to tell your loved ones exactly how you feel. The words may come out before you have a chance to wonder whether they're the right ones. Don't worry—they will be.

JEYPLAY ELECTRONIC CULTURES
Digitalized Beats
Carlos Centeno, Jayplay writer, will be reviewing select CDs from the electronic music scene for the next four weeks.
HARD BEATS AND BASS NO FLUKE
After slapping University of Kansas charts with singles such as "Bullet," "Atom Bomb" and "Absurd," Bluke stopped to compile a record labeled Progressive History X.
The album is a recollection of earlier work and rare remixed hit singles created by the trio (now a duo) from Britain.
samples from Detroit, Chicago, London, Ibiza, Dusseldorf, Bristol, Rio, Tokyo and more than 50 other places are heavily tuned into this music revolution. Kansas cannot be left out. An emerging number of disc jockeys are scratching to the beats of hip-hop and dance/electronica, drawing everyone into their world of musical liberation. Just hours away from one of the power houses of rave culture Texas—Kansas is on the verge of uniting itself to the world-wide electronic community.
Week 1:
FLUKE PROGRESSIVE HISTORY
TEN YEARS OF FLUKE
Kraftwerk, Juan Atins, DJ Selway, Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers... What do they all have in common? They're all part of electronic music culture, a growing musical empire built with turntables, mixers, computers and samplers from around the world.
Starting with the band's rarest
track "Thumper," groovy bass lines give way to all kinds of sounds, from silly horns to sampled vocals. It is the sound of Orbital fused with some sort of Japanese Anime main theme. It is not your regular Fluke track, but it still presents a new flavor to the rest of the album.
The second track sends you back in time to a disco set of vocals and beats. In the middle, when '80s synths start to appear, it it reminiscent of vintage electronica. A rare track indeed.
The most recent and easily recognizable beats of Fluke start to pound their way through in "Electric Guitar" and "Groovy Feeling." Electric Guitars' reverbs and electrifying echoed vocals are just a glimpse of what's to come in the next songs. Deep, heart-pumping, soothing, straight to the dance-floor beats and drum-sets shine in "Bubble," "Bullet," "Tosh," world famous "Atom Bomb" and "Absurd," which is featured in the Tomb Raider soundtrack.
The 1995 smash hit "Bullet" with its "ain't nothin' at all" vocal samples, might just help you understand that the best is to come. With bare minimalism, Tosh's intro catches your breath and gives you a one-way ticket to electronic meditation.
Asyou're ready to breath again, the mind-blowing, blood-boiling "Atom Bomb" with distorted samples, basslines and vocals kicks in. "Absurd" is a step further into liberation. With clear lyrics and sultry, orgasmic
women echoing in the background, the glorious and almost epiphany like synths connect all throughout the song with intense power.
the song will intermingle at the end, it is all exhalation, freedom and playful loops from "Squirt." But don't be fooled, a minute into the song and you can already hear a progression from the light, heaven-like sounds, to the hardcore fast-paced beats that the British trio conjure with what sounds like a boxing match announcer.
"Still very much forgoing ahead, Fluke are as relevant and cutting
edge now as they were pioneers in the '90s," said Astralwerks, Fluke's recording label.
"As a historical account it is all but complete...but it shows the mostly smooth progression of the band over the first 10 years. As for the future, it's wait and listen," said Fluke's Jonathan Fugler.
Progressive History X stands for evolution of electronic music into the unknown future. Rest assured that it's a bright one.

Love, life feature of CD
Sir Paul McCartney's newest musical effort not an instant classic
Commentary
Even in times of trouble, Sir Paul McCartney still wants to fill the world with silly love songs.
Jason McKee
Music Reviewer
jyplaykansan.com
His new release, Driving Rain, is classic McCartney featuring catchy tunes set to amorous lyrics.
The first single from the CD, "From A Lover To A Friend," will be featured in Tom Cruise's next movie, Vanilla Sky. The proceeds will go to New York's fire and police departments.
Also included in the collection is "Freedom," a song he performed at The Concert for New York, which he organized. The song was put into rush release as a single because of high demand and had to be added to the CD at the last second.
McCartney's first album of original songs since his wife died has neither the inspiration of 1997's post-Anthology work, Flaming Pie, nor the intensity of his last album, Run Devil Run, a tribute to the early days of Rock 'n' Roll.
The album does have a pleasant unpolished aspect to it, however. McCartney chose musicians he had never worked with before for the album and didn't give the musicians much time to rehearse before recording the songs. This technique keeps the CD from sounding too tick.
"There Must Have Been Magic" is a tribute to his late wife, Linda, written about the night in 1967 they first met in London.
Most of the other love songs are about his fiancee, including "Heather," which he named after her.
The CD doesn't have any instant classics—McCartney's days of writing those are probably over—but it does have some interesting songs, and with a legion of die-hard Paul fans out there, the CD should do well on the charts.

Bush may go platinum with 'Golden State'
Gavin Rossdale and company finally have another record to be proud of.
In the more than seven years since its six-time platinum effort Sixteen Stone, Bush has endured interpersonal stress that has finally led to complete harmony. Bush's new sound of controlled rock permeates the 12 tracks on Golden State.
The first radio released single, "The People That We Love," is consistent with the musical reform that co-producer Dave Sardy wanted to extract from the band.
Gavin Rossdale, lead singer, said, "He made us pay attention to some of the details, the sound of the bass, the guitars, the drums, everything."
The attention to detail has paid off. In addition to "The People That We Love," the hard rock edge of Bush is exemplified in the first track "Solutions." Its light beginning leads to a power-rock chorus

flowing with constant energy.
The new CD is more of an artistic effort than the grunge-rock collection that Bush fans have seen in the past. The album contains softer, more definite works, such as "Inflatable." It is a deliberate effort to show a strong control of emotional music. It lets listeners hear the slower side of hard rock without becoming the kind of sappy love ballad that finds its way onto most records.
Bush may not have had a platinum monster the last few years, but Golden State is surely a step in the right direction.

'K-PAX' examines earthly issues
Aliens may be living among us. No, I'm not talking about that short guy with green hair who's always at Wescoe Terrace. Aliens might be here. Or they might not be. Nobody knows for sure.
Commentary
It doesn't really matter, anyway. People have this habit of only accepting things that coincide with pre-existing beliefs. Even if an alien did appear in the Kansas Union, no one would believe it.
Brandon Stinnett Movie Reviewer jayplaykansan.com
It's that sort of thing that happens to Prot (Kevin Spacey), a self-proclaimed alien in the new movie K-PAX, who, on a routine visit to Earth, is committed to the Psychiatric Institute of Manhattan. It seems that an alien named Prot who looks curiously like Spacey flies against society's norms.
Prot is condemned as delusional after extensive sessions with Dr. Mark Powell (Jeff Eridge) and is committed for further care. It turns out, however, that Prot's delusions are a bit too convincing and some people start believing him.
Even Dr. Powell, whose roots in sound logic prohibit beliefs in the impossible, wonders if Prot
might be telling the truth.
Great movie of the week: American Beauty. Kevin Spacey, in an Oscar-winning performance, teaches us the joys of living life to the fullest even if it kills him. At least Spacey's Lester Burnham dies happy after quitting his boring desk job, buying a sports car and smoking lots of reefer. American Beauty is a wondrous film about overcoming the pitfalls of life in suburbia and Spacey truly does rule in an inspired performance.
Bad movie of the week: Proof of Life. It's not really that bad, but with stars like Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe, it should have been so much better. With America's sweetheart and current male heartthrob falling for each other both on and off the screen, the passion in Proof of Life should have ignited in grand fashion. Instead, we get two overpaid stars stuck in a movie that's neither thrilling nor romantic.
To the film's credit, evidence supporting both Protas as an alien and as a mentally disturbed human are presented, and it's never entirely clear what we're supposed to believe.
K-PAX ★★★ 1/2
Although Prot is the central character, K-PA X is not completely centered around him. Ample screen time is devoted to Dr. Powell's devotion to his family and his job.
Director Iain Softley intentionally leaves ambiguous elements to Prot's character, which adds a level of intrigue that makes K-PAX a more compelling movie.
On planet K-PAX, as Prots tells the doctor in one of their sessions, there are no families, no concept of fathers and mothers or children. K-PAXians simply coexist.
Ironically, Dr. Powell lives the same sort of life on Earth, burying himself in work that he has no passion for and alienating himself from his wife and children.
As Dr. Powell struggles to discover the causes of Prot's supposed mental illness, he manages to learn something about himself.
But Dr. Powell's personal struggles are secondary to Prot, who may or may not be an alien. All the patients in the hospital believe him, and Prot promises to take one of them with him back to K-PAX when he returns.
ever, remain skeptical of anything not listed in a psychiatric journal and maintain that Prot is mentally ill.
**PAX** is a fascinating movie that is about much more than Prot's true identity. It explores the human propensity to believe things beyond reason and proof. It reminds us of the true wonders in life we often take for granted.
Whether Prot is a troubled New Yorker or an extra-terrestrial from outer space, K-PAX gives us plenty to think about.

Tour to showcase stupid human tricks
Stunts range from light bulb eating, balancing 6-foot ladders on faces and professional skateboarding to "razor scootering" and stapling money to bodies.
He said the show combines humor, stuntwork and "downright stupidity."
The tour arrives at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Lied Center. Tickets are available at the Student Union Activities office, fourth floor of the Kansas
"The tour's like a modern comedy circus," Nick Dunlap, tour manager, said in a phone call from Cleveland, Ohio.
The "circus" is coming to the Lied Center.
Willey said ticket sales were steady and that the show had done very well at similar venues.
"We've talked to a couple of colleges and the show's sold out there." Willey said. "The show's done very well, and there's been no harm done to anyone."
The extreme aspect of the tour has raised some questions about safety.
The "Don't Try This At Home Tour 2001" features performers such as Steve-O and Wee Man doing the crazy—and sometimes disturbing—stunts that made them icons of the stupid human tricks on MTV's Jackass.
Willey said with certain precautions taken—including replacing some acts that involve audience participation with others—the should be no risk of harm for the audience.
Union, and are $5 for students with a KUID and $ without an ID.
"It itseems like something the whole campus enjoys watching," Danielle Wille, Junction City junior, said. Wille is special events coordinator for SUA and organizer of the event. "It appeals to a wide range of people."
Dunlap said most people should know what to expect from the show.
Johnny Knoxville, star of MTV's Jackass, is not participating in the tour.
Doors to the Lied Center lobby will open at 7 p.m., and the auditorium opens at 7:30 p.m.
Dunlap said an autograph session would immediately follow the show.

"If there's anything where they ask the audience to come up or anything that can cause a great deal of harm like fire, we will pull that out." Willey said. "We just don't want to mess with the risk of anyone getting hurt."
"If they're familiar with the television show *jackass* and they like it, they'll love the show," Dunlap said. "If they haven't seen the show, they're usually at a loss for words."
Dunlap said the performers of the tour—including Steve-O, Wee Man, Preston Lacy and Chris Pontius—are often regarded as celebrities, mostly because of their involvement with Jackass.
SUA security guards also will be on hand for crowd control.

Myers said he would be attending the show at the Lied Center because "it's not everyday you get to see people doing the stunts that they do."
"I don't think it really hurts anything, and I don't think it's a big problem," Myers said. "People overreact."
Charlie Myers, El Dorado junior, said many of his friends had performed Jackass-type acts after watching the television show. He said criticism of such "copycat" stunts was unwarranted.
Neither Dunlap nor Willey said they had encountered any negative responses about the tour. Critics of the television show Jackass have said the stunts performed could be dangerous if copied.
"The only people that are critics are just too old-fashioned," Dunlap said. "They need to lighten up and realize what we do is a form of comedy."

I'VE HAD BETTER.
'Scrubs' to try out risky time slot
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Zach Braff, star of NBC's new comedy. Scrubs, will likely have his biggest audience ever during a one-time airing tonight after Friends. It's an episode he thinks is particularly good.
So why is he dreading the night?
He doesn't want Scrubs to disappear like Jesse, Union Square, The Single Guy or Cursed.
The comfortable half hour on NBC's "must-see TV" night
Not that anyone misses those sorry sitcoms.
sorry sitcom.
The time slot's current regular occupant, Inside Schwartz, hasn't been seen in a few weeks, replaced by reruns of other sitcoms, although it's too early to send out a search party.
between Friends and the popular 9 p.m. comedy, currently Will & Grace, is generally considered the best time slot in television to launch a new show.
Only the 9:30 slot before ER rivals it.
NBC has always considered Scrubs a more promising new comedy than Inside Schwartz. But the network was afraid to give Scrubs the Thursday opening this fall for fear that viewers would simply assume the show was bad.
Think about that. The best time slot in television - and viewers are conditioned to expect some of the worst shows.
What a waste.
Tim Brooks, a Lifetime network executive who wrote The Complete Directory to PrimeTime Network and Cable TV Shows, said the arrogance of success made NBC believe it could fool viewers.
"They take a program that is
marginal and put it there and hope the viewers won't notice." Brooks said. "That doesn't happen very often. Viewers do notice."
note. The "hammock" strategy of placing a weak show between two strong ones is actually a time-honored approach for television networks.
In the late 1970s, for example, ABC scheduled Laverne and Shirley on Tuesday night between Happy Days and Three's Company. Laverne and Shirley wasn't very good, but ABC bet — correctly — that viewers wouldn't change channels and eventually would become accustomed to the show, Brooks said.
That worked when a viewer had to get up from the couch and walk over to the TV to change channels.
channels. It's much riskier when change takes only the twitch of a finger on a remote control.

FOOD REVIEW
Mexican eateries abound in town
OPEN LATE NIGHT
TODAY
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
Lawrence residents Julia and Matt Bellemere dine outside La Parrilla. La Parrilla features an outdoor patio where customers can eat while enjoying the sights and sounds of Massachusetts Street.
By Thomas Holland Jayplay writer
In the spirit of hardcore cuisine journalism, Thomas Holland, Jayplay writer and cuisine extrordinaire (requirement: being a college student), and his friends throw out the weekend and, purely for the sake of research, take a look at some of the Mexican restaurants in Lawrence.
La Parilla, Spanish for "the grill" is very different from the average dining experience. The award-winning restaurant places orders similar to fast food joints, but is then cooked on an open grill much like any restaurant, ensuring high quality production.
Co-owner Suba Bhattachan believes that La Parilla, 814 Massachusetts St., stands in a class of its own.
"What sets La Parilla apart from other restaurants in Lawrence is that we are authentic Southern American cuisine," Bhattachan said. "Other 'Mexican' restaurants in town really serve Tex-Mex. Our food is what you would find in Mexico today."
One of the better items on the menu is the Tequila Shrimp Taco meal.
"I don't know what exactly is in the sauce, but these tacos are great," said Jon Brubaker, Montville, N.J., freshman.
A more traditional Mexican restaurant is La Familia, 733 New Hampshire St. Located across the street from Borders, La Familia prides itself on its family-owned and operated tradition.
La Familia lets you seat yourself where you please, showing its unique approach to customer satisfaction. Upon your arrival, four different choices of salsa are available. For first-timers, the mild sauce is a good choice to begin with. The chips also need a bit of salt, but they are part of probably the best combo offered in Lawrence.
La Familia offers more than 50 combination platters that range in
COOKED TOMATES WITH RICE
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
price from $4.15 to $12.65. A good bet is #19. Melissa's special. It comes with a taco, bottana and enchilada—a little bit of everything for less than $7. The highlight of the Melissa is the enchilada. This combination of beef and cheese in a tortilla is perfectly cooked and fillin
Another Mexican restaurant worth checking out is El Mezcal. El Mezcal has two Lawrence locations, one on 23rd Street and another at 8th and Iowa streets.
Soaking up the atmosphere on the patio in front La Parrilla, 814 Massachusetts St., one can enjoy a variety of Latin American food, such as Tamales stuffed with pork and served with a side of rice.
The 23rd Street location is a unique building where the dining area is built to resemble a Spanish courtyard.
In the tradition of all-Mexican restaurants, chips and salsa are given before the meal. El Mezcal's salsa is by far the hottest of all the restaurants sampled.
The menu here is comparable to the others in terms of price. The menu prices are less than $8 for everything except jazitas. El Mezcal also offers lunch specials for less than $5. This is a great way to get a lot of food for your money at lunchtime.
What El Mezcal is probably most noted for is its drink specials. For $13.50 you can get 60 ounces of pure Margarita heaven. If you combine that with the
Guadalajara dinner special, you will have had the complete El Mezcal experience.
Coco Loco is a different setup all together. Although it offers a Mexican menu during the day, the bar is one of the biggest of all the restaurants combined.
The food is decently priced, and the menu has lunch specials that mix and match tacos, burritos and enchiladas. They range in price from $5 to $7.
Coco Loco also has a unique bar scene at nights that differs from other Mexican restaurants. The stage has a live band almost every Friday night that offers dancing.
It's kind of a weird mix, a bar and restaurant," said Kyle Leif, Sutton, Neb., sophomore. "It works for Raoul's Velvet room, but I don't know about this."
Carlos O'Kelley's is one of the lone national chain Mexican places in Lawrence.
Brubaker thought the food was decent for the money paid.
"You get enough food and it's worth the price," he said. "The enchiladas were great though, and I would get them again."

ISSUE 58 VOLUME 112
Senate could add advertising to bathrooms
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Students may be able to stay better informed about campus events just by using the restrooms next semester.
Kyle Brownning, student body vice president, said he was considering a proposal made by Eric Gonsher, president of E.L. Bailer Advertising and Overland Park senior, that would create areas for the advertising in bathrooms at the University.
He said that creating the advertising spaces would require about $30,000 — money that Student Senate might have trouble allocating.
Gonsher said that he and Browning were looking into whether Senate could give money to a nonstudent group, even if it benefited students.
Mike Appleby, nontraditional senator, said that Senate would have to suspend a rule that allowed only student groups to ask for Senate money.
Browning said that it could potentially be an effective way to advertise to students, but "some senators might be uncomfortable with supporting a profiting company."
He said that there would be no commercial ads contained in the spaces and that Senate probably wouldn't see a bill come through legislation that asked for the full amount required to establish the system
Branden Bell, holdover senator and finance committee member, said that one of his concerns about the proposal was spending student money on advertising.
He said that he would rather have E.L. Bailer put up commercial advertising so that revenue could come from businesses rather than the University.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with allowing businesses to advertise in restrooms, as long as they are also paying to put up announcements on what's happening on campus with no cost to the students." Bell said.
He said that would include changing the campus ads biweekly, which would cost about $3 per space.
Jared Ernzen, Leavenworth sophomore, said that he wouldn't mind if Senate spent money to create the system.
"I definitely think it would help because if you're using the restrooms, there's really not too much else to do," Ernzen said. "It would be better than reading the stuff on the walls."
Policy to affect2003 freshmen
Regent says hours not far from amount students already earn
Contact Daley at 864-4810
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Regent Jack Wempe provided more details yesterday for the new Board of Regents policy he proposed Wednesday that increased upper division course requirements to 54 credit hours.
requirements to recruit Wempe said the policy was not retroactive. It would affect only entering freshmen in the fall of 2003, and the 54-credit-hour minimum was the average amount of upper division courses students earn.
The requirement for upper division course hours varies among schools, though Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that the college required a minimum of 40 junior/rsenior hours.
James Carothers, associate provost, supported Wempe's assertion.
"The number of junior/senior hours that the new Regents policy specifies is very close to the average number already earned by KU students who graduated last May." Carothers said.
He added that the University of Kansas would need the two years before implementation to study the possible effects of the policy, and that the provost's office and the deans would lead that examination at the University.
"This is going to affect every student at every Regents university," Carothers said.
Wempe said he offered the policy to the board in order to provide a simple policy that defined baccalaureate degrees.
The definition of baccalaureate degrees came into question as a result of a program offered by Washburn University that allowed community college students to transfer 84 credit hours.
"We simply focused on the upper division issue, and by doing that we did not address the transfer hours." Wempe said. "We left the transfer issue alone."
Other Regents institutions had a 64 hour limit on transfer credits from community colleges. Kathy Rupp, associate director of academic affairs for the Board of Regents, said last month that the Regents sought a uniform policy.
Wempe said that because community colleges could not offer upper division courses, the transfer credit hour limit in effect had been increased to 70 hours.
"There can be modifications yet," Wempe said, "and I'm sure we'll have a lot of feedback."
Justin Mills, student body president
said the Regents policy bothered him.
"They made policy in 15 minutes that would possibly keep all students in Kansas in school an extra half-year," Mills said.
He added that the Regents set policy backwards, in that they approved the policy before asking for input from administrators and students.
Brent Zluticky, Wichita senior, said the new policy was bad for freshmen entering in 2003.
"More and more it seems like people are having to spend 5 years in programs." Zluticky said, adding that extracurricular activities and jobs necessitated the additional year.
"That hurts people, having to pay for whole extra year." Zluticky said, "and this policy is going to further that."
'Living Constitution' gets one less vote
Contact Smith at 864-4810
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia emphasizes his point to KU law students that relying on the original intent of the framers protects the Constitution. He said that the idea of a "living Constitution," offered no safeguards against changing the document.

Justice Scalia warns against changing intent of framers
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia defends his rejection of the idea of a "living Constitution."
"My Constitution doesn't change," he said several times.
Sealia spoke to about 200 people at the University of Kansas School of Law's Green Hall yesterday.
He said he tried to discern the original intent of the writers of the Constitution. He does this even when dealing with situations that did not exist when it was written, which contrasted with the idea of a living Constitution that changes over time.
"With a living Constitution, it means whatever it 'ought' to mean, the courts can just invent it," he said. "You can add or take out whatever strikes your fancy."
Scalia answered questions from law students on topics that ranged from interpretation of specific cases to the atmosphere during the anthrax scare to requests for book recommendations.
The Federalist Papers and the writings of Alexis de Toqueville should be read by every American, he said, and it was business as usual during the anthrax threat that put the Supreme Court out of its building for a week.
"I chucked my remaining Cipro tablets when I found the anthrax had*
gone beyond the mail room," he said.
Cipro tablets are an antibiotic used in the treatment of anthrax.
Stephen McAllister, dean of law, said Scalia's presence put a human face on the Supreme Court.
"It lets them ask questions directly and hear answers directly," he said.
Scalia, who was appointed to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan, was characteristically forthright in his answers, sometimes making jokes, sometimes throwing queries back at the audience.
"Brusqueness is a very honest thing," he said.
About the Bush v. Gore decision, he said: "This was a hot potato. We stood up to the plate and did what we had to do."
He said the U.S. Constitution played a unique role when compared to the constitutions of other nations in shaping the identity of this country.
"We were not Americans until we had this document that made a nation out of us," he said. "You don't know who you are if you don't understand the Constitution."
Nicole Johnson, Big Spring, Texas first-year law student, said Scalia was outspoken in his denial of a living Constitution.
"He stands behind all of his opinions, and he is not afraid to be forthright and speak what is on his mind," she said.
Scalia will be at KU through today as the school's Page Jurist in Residence.

Panel looks at future of Afghanistan
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
After the Taliban and al-Qaida networks are defeated in Afghanistan, the United States and the rest of the Western world must take an active role in rebuilding the country, experts said in a discussion in the Kansas Union yesterday.
About 25 people attended the discussion, which was titled "Afghanistan 101: Political Factions, Military Operations and a Brief History of Islamic Funda-
A four-person round table gave a broad overview of the history of the region surrounding
The discussion was sponsored by KU International Programs.
Afghanistan, the rise of Osama bin Laden and the Taliban, and the massive military, political and humanitarian hurdles that must be cleared to bring stability to the war-torn nation.
Raheem Yaseer, assistant director of the Center for Afghanistan Studies at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, said the Afghan people would need to be protected as they set up a new government in the coming years.
Pakistan was one of the few countries that officially recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
If neighboring countries, especially Pakistan, are allowed to influence the direction of the new government, little will change in the region. Yaseer said.
Yaseer, who fled his home in Kabul, Afghanistan, with his family in 1987, said that he fore-saw the members of the northern alliance teaming up with the exiled former king, Zahir Shaw, to set up a temporary government that would write a new constitution for Afghanistan and develop a new government.
Yaseer said that before the U.S. military strikes, the Taliban governed Afghanistan as though it were a concentration camp. He said that the Taliban did not have the option of turning in bin Laden and members of his terrorist network, al-Qaida, the group that has been accused by the United States of planning the Sept. 11 attacks.
"We kept shouting, 'Taliban'
should hand in Osama bin Laden,"" he said. "And Osama bin Laden was not going to be handed in by anybody because he was the master of the whole operation."
Panel member Jeff Colyer, a Kansas City, Kan., surgeon and member of International Medical Corps, has worked in Afghanistan.
He said that the country,which has been in a state of war for more than 30 years,was experiencing a famine that would get worse.
Humanitarian aid would be a major strategic issue for the United States and its allies, he said.
"What you are going to see is the largest relief program in the history of the United Nations," Colyer said.

Smoke from roof triggers fire alarm at Lindley Hall
Students, faculty and staff were temporarily evacuated from Lindley Hall yesterday after smoke vented down from the roof.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said a work crew was on the roof and accidentally caught some roofing paper on fire.
roofing paper on Bailey said he did not know what the work crew was doing, but after the roofing paper caught fire, smoke vented down into the building, which caused the fire alarm to go off.
People were allowed back into the building shortly after the alarm went off.

Residents seek to force Andover mayor to resign
ANDOVER — Residents angry at the Andover mayor's attempts to rezone his property have presented a petition calling for Dennis Bush to resign.
The group presented the petition signed by 200 residents Tuesday at a city council meeting. They said if Bush did not resign, they would seek a recall election, which would require the signatures of 171 citizens.
The city council blocked Bush's attempt to rezone 50 acres of his property from single-family residential to mobile home. But Bush is suing to override the decision, claiming the council acted on incorrect data.
Some citizens have said Bush has a right as a citizen to seek the rezoning, but his opponents have called it a conflict of interest.
"He is not working for the city but more for his own pocketbook," said Ray Gulasek, a resident active in opposing the rezoning.
Bush said Wednesday that he had no plans to resign, nor does he fear a recall.
"They don't have a legitimate issue for the resignation," Bush said, adding that he took every precaution against a conflict of interest, including not attending the meetings where his proposal was discussed.
The squabble is the latest in this town of 6,698 people about 15 miles east of Wichita.

Al-Qaida lab discovered in abandoned compound
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — Materials left behind in a compound used by Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, including a booklet offering advice on how to survive a nuclear explosion suggest the terrorist group may have been trying to develop chemical arms and other unconventional weapons.
Charred papers covered with chemical formulas littered a makeshift laboratory in one al-Qaida building in the heart of Kabul. Maps, mines and computer manuals were found in others.
Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge said yesterday that the documents were consistent with bin Laden's statements saying he desired nuclear weaponry.
At the rear of the main house, one room contained mountains of papers, some from training manuals showing diagrams of weapons. An English-language book described how to use a recoilless rifle.
In the yard and in the rooms were more papers, diagrams and maps with large circles to mark locations.
Another al-Qaida compound, built on a former Scud missile base in the hills that surround Kabul's Darulaman Palace, apparently served as training grounds.
"We found lots of books and papers and newspapers," said Haji Abdullah, a northern alliance commander. "We threw most of them out."
The Times of London newspaper reported yesterday that designs for nuclear weapons, bombs and missiles — written in Arabic, German, Urdu and English — were among the debris left behind.
The northern alliance, which now controls the abandoned base, had one Pakistani in custody. 17-year-old Naimid Ullah.
"I am afraid to say anything, they will take my head off," he said in Urdu. The northern alliance soldiers said they had captured him on the front lines north of Kabul. His captors promised to keep him safe.
A letter left behind by another Pakistani was addressed to a brother in Peshawar, Pakistan.
Twelve days into the air campaign,
Mohammed Khaliq had written: "Don't worry
about me. Pray for我 five times a day. Our
enemy is not strong; we will win. If we die here,
there is no greater reward."
Report shows costs of attack
NEW YORK—The Sept. 11 attack caused $83 billion worth of damage to New York and will cost the city 57,000 jobs over the next two years, according to a report released yesterday.
According to the New York City Partnership and Chamber of Commerce report, 125,000 jobs will be lost in the fourth quarter of 2001 as a direct result of the attack on the World Trade Center. Many jobs will return, but the report estimated that New York will have a net loss of 57,000 jobs at the end of 2003. That represents 1.5 percent of the city's 3.75 million jobs.
The Associated Press
jobs.
"New York is an amazingly resilient city with resilient people, and I have great faith in the future of our city," said Sanford Weill, chairman and chief executive officer of Citigroup.
"In the near term, we must develop a comprehensive blueprint for downtown's future and quickly restore its infrastructure. ... We also must tell the world that New York City is open for business and tourism. And we need
federal help to accomplish all this."
The $83 billion figure includes an estimated $30 billion in capital losses, $14 billion in cleanup and related costs. In addition, it estimates a $39 billion loss of output to the economy.
The report estimates that even after insurance payments and federal funds to defray the cleanup operation, the city's economy will sustain a net loss of at least $16 billion
Damage from the terrorist attacks is concentrated in lower Manhattan, which lost 100,000 jobs and almost 30 percent of its office space, according to the report by several large management firms.
The report recommended that public and private sectors quickly produce a plan to redevelop lower Manhattan before the trade center cleanup is completed in the middle of next year. It also called for rebuilding downtown infrastructure, investing in comprehensive security measures and executing a citywide strategy to retain and expand the financial services industry.
Auburn suspends students for racially offensive clothing
AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn University said yesterday it has indefinitely suspended 15 students who wore Ku Klux Klan costumes and blackface to fraternity Halloween parties.
"The continued presence of these students in the university community poses an immediate threat to the well-being of the university, and we're taking that action," said Auburn President William Walker.
The suspended students include five from Delta Sigma Phi fraternity — one who wore blackface with a noose around his neck, another dressed as a policeman and three more who dressed as hunters.
They appeared in a photo with a fraternity member dressed as a Klansman who was pointing a gun at the man in blackface. The school said the student dressed as a Klansman has dropped out of school.
All the students were suspended indefinitely for violating the school's harassment and discrimination rules, according to the university. They could also face further disciplinary action, including expulsion.
The other 10 suspended students were members of Beta Theta Pi who wore blackface and Afro wigs at a separate party.
Head-on train crash causes evacuation of schools, homes
The evacuation order was lifted about five hours after the fiery wreck when authorities determined that cars containing chemicals had not leaked. About 3,000 gallons of diesel fuel were spilled.
SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. Two freight trains crashed head-on yesterday, killing two men, injuring two others and forcing the evacuation of nearby homes and schools.
Investigators were looking into whether there was a malfunction at a nearby switching yard or whether severe weather the night before may have played a role in the crash, said Oak land County Undersheriff Thomas Quisenberry.
"it's amazing how many cars did not get upset or derailed," he said.
The wreck occurred at 5:55 a.m. about 25 miles northwest of Detroit, on a track operated by Grand Trunk, a subsidiary of Canadian National railroad, officials said.
About 12 families were evacuated from their homes and several nearby schools were closed, authorities said.

Late-night safety concerns students
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Despite security measures and safety precautions taken on campus, some students still don't feel safe after dark.
Angela Ruble, Great Bend senior, said she worried if she could make it to her car safely in the evening. Ruble works at the Budig Hall computer lab, sometimes until midnight, and has to park her car at Memorial Stadium.
"If you walk down the Hill to the stadium, it's not well lit," she said.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office, said that most of campus was well lit, but he encouraged students to avoid the unlit areas and walk in groups at night.
"There are strength in numbers," he said.
There are also 56 emergency phones located throughout campus, Mailen said which connect directly to the KU Public Safety Office with the push of a button.
Jennifer Dziuvenis, Tampa, Fla., senior said she noticed there were some emergency phones on campus, but she didn't feel they were helpful.
"They are kind of few and far between," she said.
Dziuvenis works in Haworth Hall and is occasionally there in the evening. She said she did not feel safe on campus in the evening.
Matt Bunyard, Wichita senior, said he was not too worried about being on campus late at night. Bunyard, who works at the Budig Hall computer lab, said he occasionally worked until midnight. He said some areas by Memorial Stadium were not well lit.
Mailen said it was important to take security precautions when on campus in the evening

Group discusses importance of wetlands
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Some members of a group trying to protect the Baker Wetlands from the completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway explained the importance of the lands last night in the Kansas Union.
About 15 people attended the presentation, "The Value of the Wetlands," by the Wetlands Preservation Organization from Haskell Indian Nations University. The Multicultural Resource Center sponsored the event, which was part of First Nations Peoples Heritage Month.
Mike Conners, a representative for the organization, and Stan Ross, faculty adviser for the organization, explained the history of the conflict about the wetlands and the trafficway. They also gave reasons why they thought the wetlands, located south of 31st street between Haskell Avenue and Louisiana Street, were valuable.
Contreras said the wetlands were valuable because of cultural, spiritual, medicinal and environmental reasons.
He said Haskell students used the wetlands as a place of refuge to talk about spirit, and sacred burial
grounds were located in the area.
Contrexus said that the Kansas Department of Transportation had offered to replace the Wetlands with a man-made version
"There's no way they can duplicate the biodiversity," he said.
The conflict concerning the wetlands has been going on for decades. Recently, the department proposed four routes to complete the trafficway: 31st, 35th, 38th and 42nd street alignments. Trafficway opponents want a route south of the Wakarausa River, which is consistent with the 42nd street alignment.
The transportation department
is completing environmental and engineering studies until January
Ross said the organization's goal was to protect the wetlands.
Antonie Dvorakova,
Moravsky Pisek, Czech Republic,
graduate student, said she
attended the presentation
because she didn't know much
about the issue. She said she
learned more about the wetlands
and planned to visit the area.

Students should demand better Sprint service
In the last few months, many area Sprint PCS wireless customers have reported problems with their cellular service. These problems include poor signal quality, dropped calls and errors with voice mail service. As a major cellular provider, Sprint needs to provide forthright information to its customers about the cause of these problems and how it plans on improving the situation.
According to the company's 2000 annual report, Sprint PCS is the fourth largest and fastest growing wireless provider in the United States. Last year, its customer base grew by 70 percent. The company claims its technology provides "inherent security, superior voice quality and higher capacity for both voice and data applications." PCS service now covers about 80 percent of the U.S. population.
Sprint customers who have contacted service representatives about recent problems have reported receiving vague or confusing answers. Some Sprint representatives denied any knowledge of service problems in the area, citing few customer complaints. Those representatives who did acknowledge problems could not provide specifies about when wireless service would improve.
As a result of this confusion, PCS customers are circulating a variety of rumors about the cause of the problems. Some customers believe that a recent increase in local customers has overloaded Sprint's bandwidth as allocated by the Federal Communications Commission. Others believe that Sprint is in the process of upgrading its signal towers, and the company has begun tearing down old towers before building new ones, resulting in a temporary decrease in signal strength. Another rumor is that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks damaged the company's communication infrastructure.
Regardless of the actual cause of these service problems, two things need to change in the immediate future. First, any PCS customers experiencing problems with their wireless service need to voice a formal complaint to Sprint's customer service department. Unspoken grievances accomplish nothing, and the problems aren't likely to improve until PCS's profit is threatened by consumer discontent. Second, Sprint needs to address these grievances in an honest, consistent manner. Company representatives should acknowledge the problems, detail their causes and estimate when service will improve.
In the future, Sprint should be more proactive about providing information regarding obstacles to its wireless service. Letters and e-mails should be sent to registered customers and stockholders detailing potential problems and their solutions. It's not just good business practice; it's a necessity for the well being of the company's customers.
The days when wireless communication was a luxury are long gone. Cellular subscribers depend on their phones to keep up relationships, do business, and ensure personal safety. Emerging technologies should bear the same standard of public accountability as all other industries.
Matt Hubbard for the editorial board.
Sprint PCS customers experiencing service problems should contact service representatives at 1-888-211-4PCS or visit www.sprintpcs.com.
PERSPECTIVE
New York needed the World Trade Center just when it disappeared from the skyline
It might be hard to imagine now, but in its day the World Trade Center got no respect.
While it was here, New Yorkers lavished their love on the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and the Brooklyn Bridge. Grand Central Station made the coffee-table books. Even the tourist-plagued Statue of Liberty, victim of thousands of key-chain effigies and snowglobe prisons, got more props from her fellow New Yorkers than the gawky trade center.
"Nobody roots for Goliath," a famous Kansan once said, and could have said from one center to another. Architecture critics hated the stark lines and in-your-face verticality. You took your out-of-town visitors there, and then you ignored it. In movies and on television, the towers got their due only when the camera panned the city skyline. Otherwise, the rest of New York took the starring roles. Movie stars meet cute on top of the Empire State Building, or in front of Tiffany's or at Rockefeller Center, not at the front lobby of Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter, Discover & Co.
That's too bad, because the New York City of recent times has much more in common with the trade center than any of its monuments to antiquity. My fiancee and I first realized this when we moved to New York early last year. My previous visits hinted to the contrary, but part of me was still expecting the New York my parents left behind in the 1960s: a place where radiators rattle all night, where neighbors sidestep the local drug dealer, where stairwells smell like urine and where nobody except the foolish take the subway.
The city we moved to turned out to have a lot more in common with

Olathe. Abandoned buildings had been turned into $1.2 million condominiums. Judging by the sheer number of cotton pullovers and wrinkle-free khakis on the citizenry, the city's population had become Banana Republic foot soldiers. Hot dog vendors were chased off Broadway. Union Square, one of the birthplaces of the 1960s countercultural movement, now features not one, not two, but three Starbucks for your latte pleasure. New Yorkers, flush with easy dot-com cash and a booming stock market, bought themselves into a bourgeois sameness with the rest of the nation.
They included my fiancee, who switched trains underneath the south tower, and me, who crossed the plaza every morning and took the underground mall every night on my way to and from my office next door.
The World Trade Center was the perfect symbol for New York 2.0. Its 30,000 workers — from Connecticut bluebloods to Staten Island third generation Irish and Italians to its Dominican and Nigerian newcomers — traded the bonds and negotiated the settlements that made this affluence possible. Thousands more passed through it and over it and around it and underneath it on their way to do the city's business.
New York's other landmarks had more flourishes, were more ornate and
inspired a lot more bad sidewalk-sale paintings. But they're old, untouchable and, in their way, unreal. They're symbols of a time that doesn't exist anymore.
The World Trade Center was now. It breathed. It was a place to work and — in the sense that a life's work could be completed there — a place to live. People cheered and cried and fought and won and lost in those two towers. At night its lines seemed stately, not dawning, and the 24-hour glow from its windows seemed full of possibility.
That's one reason I proposed to my fiancee there on a cool Saturday night last May. I had another, even more foolish reason: We could point it out to our children and grandchildren whenever they saw it on TV.
I hate to think that the loss of the towers means an end to this bright, theme-park version of New York. True, at times it has the subtlety and tact of a TV awards show. But it was our New York, and I see it disappearing when the see the glum faces in the street, and the silence as people pass the Xeroxed faces of the missing still hanging in storefront windows, and the stillness in front of the flower-decked the fire stations.
It's been singed and tossed into the wind, like the page from a World Trade Center accounting book that landed at my feet the morning of Sept. 11 as I headed to the hospital to donate blood. Within its burnt edges, the words are perfectly readable, as if it could be turned to in a moment to take care of business.

PERSPECTIVE
Only haters know how to love
I guess this is suppose to be "Hate Out Week." We are being vaguely encouraged to "stop the hate" and embark on a "Journey Toward a Hate Free Millennium." This is a journey I encourage you all to reject, if you hold any respect for life or love at all.
I am very picky about the things that I love. I am just as picky about the things that I hate. You could even say that they are one in the same; my capacity to love creates my capacity to hate.
I have putyears of thought and work into the ideas I hold, and they are as dear to me as life itself. The passion I feel for the things I love is the same passion I feel when those values are attacked or disregarded.
I am proud to say that I hate murders, rapists and terrorists. I am proud to say that I hate violence, statism and blind faith. I hate them all because I love life.
A millennium without hate would be a millennium without love and a millennium not worth living through. It is not hatred then that we need to do away with. What we need to do away with is the superficial, the thoughtless and the irrational.

show themselves to be as misguided as those they intend to oppose.
If we actually want to fight racism, it is time to take another step past this elementary school answer and evaluate the premise behind it.
The fundamental philosophy behind racism is that of collectivism. It claims that a person's self-worth, or lack thereof, comes from a group. This idea goes against the very nature of human beings.
Whether you spit on people because of a group they belong to or hug them for it, you are committing the same crime. You are falling into the devastating, irrational trap of collectivism.
All of us have our own mind and make our own decisions; our identities are completely independent of any other person or group. With a collectivist approach, we lose those
identities — we lose ourselves.
Instead of doing battle against collectivism, though, we are called to do battle against the trivial act of being mean or even worse, we are called to do battle with the emotion of hatred in general.
general.
This comes from an absolutely superficial, thoughtless view of the world, a view that is just as destructive as the irrational idea of racism itself
Rather than a week against hate, we should be holding a week in support of reason, the only thing that can battle the devastatingly irrational ideas behind homophobia, violence and racism.
The very least we could do is have a week to sit and think a little more deeply about these problems before we trivialize them by ignoring their root and devoting a week to the battle of a perfectly natural emotion, such as hate.

WASHINGTON - Federal AIDS-prevention money is paying for workshops that encourage sexual activity and meet the legal definition of obscenity, government investigators said in a report obtained yesterday.
Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind., chairman of a House Government Reform subcommittee, had asked for the investigation.
The Associated Press
asked for the investigation. One program that was studied, "Great Sex Workshop," examined ways of reducing the spread of HIV but also explored sex that was "safe, erotic, fun and satisfying." Another, "Booty Call," included material on the taboos of erotic sex along with information on avoiding injury and disease.
Both workshops included information that "could be viewed as directly promoting sexual activity" and as obscene, Health and Human Services Inspector General Janet Rehnquist concluded.
Report says AIDS workshops obscene
Rehquist's report reviewed $698,000 in AIDS-prevention funding by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, awarded to the Stop AIDS Project of San Francisco. The findings were obtained by The Associated Press, which has previously reported on questionable AIDS-prevention funding.
Rehnquist said that as a result of the findings, she now would expand her audits to all CDC funding for projects that identify themselves as AIDS-prevention programs.
The secretary of health and human services, Tommy G. Thompson, said the department would separately review all department-funded HIV/AIDS

activities that include a program for treatment of low-income AIDS patients.
Yearbook Portraits
AIDS professionals Officials at the Stop AIDS Project said they had no immediate comment. However, community AIDS organizations in San Francisco and city health officials have said that course materials have to be provocative to attract gay men at risk of disease. They have insisted that the programs do stress AIDS prevention.
Some AIDS activists have criticized the prevention workshops, contending they promote gay sex rather than try to prevent disease.
The CDC's guidelines for prevention programs state the material used cannot promote sexual activity or intravenous substance abuse, and cannot be obscene under standards set forth by the Supreme Court in 1973 in Miller v. California.

ILLUSTRATION BY KYLE RAMSEY/KANSAN
The TV game show premise is tested at KU.
By Jacqueline Lenart and Amanda Wolfe Kansan feature writers
Asking questions to test Americans' knowledge of pop culture trivia is the recent craze. From Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" segment on his talk show to the game show Street Smarts, Americans have been questioned at random about what they know of American pop culture.
Even prime-time television has been swept
by the phenomenon of quizzing contestants for large cash prizes. Participants test their trivia skills in the midst of highly dramatic lighting and gripping music effects. The fastpaced nature and high ratings of such shows as Who Wants to be a Millionaire and The Weakest Link led TV networks to feature the programs multiple times a week.
We headed to the Kansas Union to test KU students' knowledge. Students came to the University of Kansas in search of an education, so we set out to see if parents and students are getting what they paid for.
The 12 questions were chosen from categories of media, politics, KU tradition and cultural expressions.

Don't miss the last chance to see LaMere play at home
You might not have heard, but when the Kansas volleyball team plays Texas at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center, it will be senior setter Molly LaMere's final home match.
If you read the sports page often, you probably recognize her name because it's been a mainstay in volleyball stories for the last four years. If you've ever been to a match, there's no doubt she's stood out.
She will take her final bow at home and quietly wind down one of the finest careers in Kansas volleyball history.
Molly's the one wearing the No. 8 jersey. She's the one quick enough to cover the entire court in an instant because of her foot speed. She's the one crashing into the scorer's table while trying to keep the ball alive. She's the one making the belly-flop dive on the floor to dig the undigable ball pounded by a Nebaska outside hitter.
She's also the one with the deadly dink and set kills. When opponents started controlling the net and taking momentum, Molly would knock them back on their heels with her patented move. She'd set the ball just over the front blockers' hands, and it would drop like a rock to the floor. Point Kansas.
She also never comes out of the game. She's sat down just once in the last three years. She plays every point, every game. Period.
The Jayhawks need her in the game at all times because she's their most skilled player and their best passer Heck, she's ninth in career digs with 899 and No.2 in career assists with 4,016 and will end her career just shy of Jule Woodruff's school record 4,209 from 1988-91.
Those contributions are just a few of the hundreds of little things Molly, a Papillion, Neb., native, has done to affect the volleyball team, and you can learn about them by reading and watching.
But ask her about herself and she'll leave you in the dark. She won't brag, although she easily could with the resume she's built. But she not like that.
Ask her a question about why she sets the ball so well and she'll tell you about Kansas career kills leader Amanda Reves' ability to put the ball away or about Sarah Rome's constant improvement. Ask her enthusiasm during matches, and she'll tell you it's a response to her teammates' hard work.
She keeps the attention on others and diligently does her job in the shadows. She had the assist on 4,016 kills — the volleyball equivalent of a dunk in basketball. That's what setters do; they're like the point guard that lobs the alley-oop pass. The player who dunks it gets the oohs and aahs, but the point guard really made it happen. That's Molly.
To find out about her, you have to ask someone else.
And you won't be able to find her after tomorrow night. Her final match as a Jayhawk is at Colorado next Saturday, so unless you're in Boulder, Colo., you won't get to see her play again.
"She's way up there in digs, games played, matches played, assists," coach Ray Bechard said of his lone senior. "You don't find 'em any better as far as quality and character."
So spread the word and come support Molly in her final home match as a jayhawk. She might not say it, but it would mean a lot to her.

Freshman forward hurts knee
Wayne Simien will miss two to four weeks of his first season at Kansas
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
Wayne Simien's regular season debut will have to wait for now.
Simien hyperextended his left knee in practice Wednesday and had arthroscopic surgery yesterday.
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams said the freshman forward and the team's leading scorer in the exhibition season would be out two to four weeks after hyperextending his left knee.
Simien injured his knee midway through practice Wednesday but still finished playing. Doctors took an MRI after practice and discovered some torn and loose cartilage, which led to the surgery.
It's a huge loss for us," Williams said.
"H
's been about as impressive during
pre
cice as any incoming freshman
we
ve ever had."

The 6-foot-9,255-

Simien had worked to fully rehabilitate his injured shoulder, which should make the recovery time quicker for the tree, Williams said.
"He's done a great job with the rehab." Williams said. "He's done a great job of making his body bigger and stronger, and I've got to think that the work that he'd done will help him with this injury and make the rehab for this injury even better."
Simien's absence will cause problems for an already thin Kansas front court. Junior starting forwards Nick Collison
"I think everybody's going to have to step up," said junior point guard Kirk Hinrich. "I mean, Wayne's a force down there. Drew and Nick are going to have to play real well, and Jeff Carey will have to step in and play real well. It's going to have to be a team effort."
Freshman guard Aaron Miles said he was distraught to see his new teammate and close friend go down to an injury.
"We're like brothers now, so to see
him go down before we can even start our season, really our career, is kind of hurtful." Miles said. "I pray though that he will be back as soon as possible."
But the jayhawks will be without their freshman forward when they begin the regular season against Ball State at 3:50 p.m. Monday in the Maui Invitational.
Note: Kansas received letters-of-intent from two recruits yesterday.

The Jaj Hawks still have two scholarships available for next year's recruiting class, and Williams said the team would continue recruiting throughout the winter and spring.

One kick sends team home
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
LINCOLN, Neb. — The Kansas soccer team was unable to shake its postseason woes last night as it fell 1-0 to Brigham Young in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
The loss ends the Jayhawks record-setting season at 13-7. They were winless in both postseason games this year, bringing their all-time postseason mark to 0-3.
The Jayhawks played in just their second ever postseason game last week in the Big 12 Tournament and lost against Missouri.
Freshman forward Monica Brothers battles Brigam Young sophomore midfielder Rachelle Dixon during the first half last night at Lincoln, Neb. Kansas fell 1-0 to Brigham Young in the Jayhawk's first-ever NCAA tournament appearance.
Brigham Young improves to 14-6-1 and will play Nebraska in the tournament's second round tomorrow night.
"To be honest, I didn't think we played well enough to win the game," said Kansas coach Mark Francis. "We had chances. The second half was definitely better than the first half. We adjusted to their format. We knew the midfield would be a question mark."
The Cougars featured a five-player midfield attack, an approach Kansas rarely saw this season.
"We were a little bit unorganized," said Kansas junior
defend e Pardis Brown. "Our confide ice didn't show in the first h because we didn't know e could play with guys. B it as soon as the team started s settle down, we played closer t what we could do."

Schroeder, Natalie Hoogveld and Hilla Rantala played in their final game and led Kansas to its best season to date. The three combined for 18 goals and 20 assists in their final season.
that set the best record in the history of a program," Francis said. "I think that's just a credit to them. They were a huge factor in what went on."

Coach broight success to Cyclones
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
In seven years at Iowa State, Dan McCarney turned a once-downtrodden Cyclones into a bowl team.
Terry Allen also faced expectations for a turnaround when he came to coach Kansas in 1997. But while a win against the Jayhawks tomorrow would give Iowa State its second consecutive bowl berth, Kansas will attempt to salvage dignity near the end of a 2-7 nightmare.

No Jayhawk quarterback has thrown for 2,000 yards in one season in the past 10 years. Iowa State quarterbacks have averaged more than 2,000 yards per season since 1996.

The Jayhawks, on the other hand, have won either four or five games in each of the past five years and have won only twice this season.

Women ready for basketball home opener
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
For only the third time in 11 years, the Kansas women's basketball team will open its season at home tonight.
The team faces Grambling State at 7 p.m., and coach Marian Washington is relieved to begin the season inside Allen Fieldhouse.
"It's about time." Washington said, "It's so important that we can get the start of our season off the ground with a home game. Absolutely, I'm really delighted, and we're constantly going to try to do that more years than not."
Last season, the Jayhawks opened their season at home against Grambling State, where they exploded for a 122-71 victory. However, this offensive output may not replicate itself this time around, as Kansas lost the majority of its offensive guns from last year's team. The Jayhawks lost senior forwards Jaclyn Johnson and Brooke Reves and senior guard Jennifer Jackson.
"We're a different ball club than we were a year ago," Washington said. "I can't say that we're going to score that many points this year. We don't have the kind of experienced players that we did last year with Brooke, Jaclyn and Jennifer. I hope that our defense continues to put us in a position where we can be successful, particularly our full court pressure."
Kansas hopes to dominate Grambling State much like its last meeting. The Lady Tigers return 11 letter winners from a team that went 18-12 overall last season and 13-6 in the Southwest Athletic Conference. Last year, the Tigers were held to just 33.3 percent shooting average by a Kansas team that tied a school record for most points scored in a game with 122 and moved up to second in assists in a game record with 31.
Washington said she hoped to use a quick lineup to create defensive pressure and force the Lady Tigers, who did not play any exhibition games, to commit turnovers. Senior guards K.C. Hilgenkamp and Selena Scott will start the game along with freshman guard

Game: Cyclones anticipate Jayhawks
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Several Jayhawk players suggested that Iowa State's schedule has helped the program turn the corner.
"They got a lot of confidence from last year," said senior safety Brandon Wier. "They had a lot easier (Big 12) South games last year. Something like that helps a team. Winning is an attitude, but scheduling helps."
For the past two seasons, Iowa State has played Baylor, Oklahoma State and
Texas A&M from the South half of the conference. Those teams have combined for a 10-34 conference record in that span. Kansas' South opponents — Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech — have combined for a 33-11 record.
"This is the toughest conference in college football," McCarney said. "So I don't buy into anything that has to do with our schedule. We play some of the country's best teams every week."
McCarney said he
expected Kansas to be ready to play under interim coach Tom Hayes, who was a teammate of McCarney's at the University of Iowa.
"I've known him for a lot of years, and I know he's a great coach," McCarney said. "We know they're better than their record indicates."
Kansas, on the other hand, will look to play the role of spoiler.
"We don't like sitting on the bottom of the Big 12 North." Wiersaid. "We don't
have a lot of things, as far as bowl games, to play for, but we can play to keep them out."
Freshman Mario Kinsey will get the starting nod at quarterback for Kansas. Hayes has alternated all season between Kinsey and sohomore Zach Dyer.
Tomorrow's game begins at 11:30 a.m. at Memorial Stadium and will be televised on Fox SportsNet.

tice and is ready to get the season under way.
"It's a toss-up between Nikki and Kristin because they are both playing well," Washington said. "Whichever one I start, I'll probably start the other one in the second half until one of them begins to dominate."
White said she was encouraged by what she saw from her teammates in prac-
"I am really excited for this season," White said. "The newcomers have really stepped up and are working to fill the shoes of the seniors." Note:
Four players have signed national letters of intent to play at Kansas next year, including two in-state stand-outs.
Two players, Alicia Rhymes of Shreveport, La. and Aquaneta Burras, a transfer from Central Arizona Community College, signed with the Jayhawks yesterday.
Rhymes, 6-afoot forward,
was the Louisiana 2A state
player of the year as a junior.
Burras, a 5-9 guard, played
at Lathrop High School in
Fairbanks, Alaska.
Four others signed letters of intent Wednesday.
Crystal Kemp, a 6-2 forward from Topeka High School, chose Kansas instead of Iowa and was named to the Topeka All-City team last season while averaging 22.6 points. Ebony Haliburton, a 5-11 forward from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Kansas City, Kan., averaged nine points for the 24-1 Kansas 6A state basketball championship队. Erica Hallman, a 5-8 guard from Covington Holmes High School in Covington, Ky., is a top contender for Miss Kentucky Basketball this season.

chose Kansas after considering Texas, Colorado, Rice and Missouri.
Washington said she was excited about this recruiting class.
"This is certainly one of the strongest classes at Kansas in the last couple of years and definitely one of the top classes in our conference," Washington said. "We will be young, but the future is bright."

Volleyball team faces tough Texas squad
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sports writer
Looking to have a winning season, the Kansas volleyball team enters its final home match, and second-to-last match of the season, with a record of 15-14, 5-13 in the Big 12 Conference.
The Jayhawks will face a Texas squad (14-11, 8-9) that deal them a 3-0 sweep earlier this fall in Austin, Texas.
Senior setter Molly LaMere said that beating the Longhorns would be tough but possible.
"It depends who shows up." LaMere said. "When we are on and play together, we have a chance to beat a lot of Big 12 teams."
LaMere, the only senior on the squad, will be recognized in a senior night ceremony before the match begins.
Coach Ray Bechard emphasized how important LaMere had been for the Jayhawks.
"She's a three-year starter," Bechard said. "We have an opportunity for her to lead us to a winning record three years in a row. I think that speaks very highly of her."
Texas leads the series with Kansas, 14-0. The Jayhawks are 7-6 at home this season.
The match begins at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Horeisi Family Athletic Center.
The Jayhawks' final match is against Colorado at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24 in Boulder, Colo.

Swimming team sets goal to finish in top three
Returning to the pool fresh and energized after a two-week layoff, the Kansas swimming and diving team looks to improve on last year's third place finish in the Minnesota Invitational.
The meet begins tonight and lasts through the weekend. The diving portion of the meet is expanded from the usual format and will include platform diving.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Notre Dame, three Top 25 teams, stand in Kansas' way.
"Last year we finished third behind two Top 25 teams," said Kansas coach Cathy Burgess. "Throwing another one into the mix makes finishing in the top three a bigger challenge. But it is our goal to beat one of the Top 25 teams."
Last year Kansas finished with 643 points, behind second place Wisconsin (837.5), and event host Minnesota (944.5).
"It has pleased me that we aren't swimming our meets with one or two swimmers," Burgess said. "We have a lot of depth, and the ladies are swimming well."
If the Jayhawks are to improve on their finish of a year ago. Burgess said they would have to rely on a full-team effort.
The total team effort Burgess is looking for will have to include a strong performance from her freshmen. Freshmen Amy Gruber, Jackie Krueger, Aly Colver and Miranda Isaac have already set team best times this season.

ABC, CBS might work together
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Executives at ABC and CBS News are talking about sharing equipment and other ways they could work together to cut costs while maintaining editorial independence.
Neither network would talk publicly about their negotiations, reported yesterday in The New York Times. But executives at both networks, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the private meetings, which took place as recently as Wednesday.
Both networks had been involved in similar talks with CNN earlier this year. When those discussions proved fruitless, ABC and CBS turned to each other.
ABC and CBS already share a satellite uplink in Pakistan. Sharing more of the costly equipment used to transmit reports is central to the talks between the two networks, executives said.
Inere are also discussions about sharing camera crews on assignments, letting both networks use certain file footage and
A tighter advertising market has led network executives to hunt for savings. The climate has only worsened since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, which caused news gathering budgets to balloon.
ABC and CBS both say the video deal has been a success, saving money that has been used for other things.
Given the consolidation of media businesses, the new talks between normally bitter competitors were probably inevitable, said Danny Schechter, a media critic for Mediachannel.org.
even consolidating office space in bureaus. Both networks say there have been no talks about sharing on-airtalent, or any other arrangement that would be readily visible to viewers.
MSNBC TV Two years ago, CBS, ABC and Fox News Channel reached a broad agreement to share video on several stories. The results of that agreement were seen Monday, when CBS News aired footage gathered by ABC's affiliate in New York, which was first on the scene at the Rockaways plane crash.
The talks between ABC and CBS predated Sept. 11. Executives had no idea when or if an agreement would be reached.
The two networks are at a fiscal disadvantage to NBC, which can share resources with the cable networks CNBC and MSNBC to amortize costs.
"Economic realities are forcing an erosion of the usual turf boundaries," Schechter said. "The problem is, there's already so much similarity between the networks ... If you asked people the difference between ABC News and CBS News, I think they'd have difficulty answering."
The network talks with CNN were reportedly more extensive and, if an agreement could have been reached, would likely have meant sharing some on-air resources. Talks stalled concerning control issues.
"Each network feels like it could do a better job than anybody else," CBS President Leslie Moonves said earlier this fall. "Network pride factored in."

SPORTS
KU bowlers to strike way to national fame
bowling alley
FRIDAY, NOV.16, 2001
By Steve Schmidt Kansan sportswriter
While some people bowl for fun and relaxation, the 12 students on the Kansas men's and women's bowling teams bowl to win national championships.
The women's team ranks 14th in the nation, and the men are 18th in the men's poll on collegebowling.com after solid performances at last weekend's Brunswick Great Lakes Invitational in Lake Zurich, Ill. The men finished six out of 39 teams, and the women placed 10th out of 24 teams.
Both teams turned in strong performances Oct.19 and 20 at the Midstates Tournament in Topeka. Competing with two squads, the men's first team placed ninth, and the second team 14th out of 20 teams, the women third out of nine.
"It's just really early in the season," said Kristina Boehm, Olathe junior. "We've come out strong so far. We can only hope to get better with more practice. We're doing pretty good this year so far because we've got a lot of experience. But we still have a whole room of improvement."
The women's team consists of Boehm; Nicole Mosqueda, Topeka junior; Tiffany McBurney, Albany, Ore., senior; Brenda Morgan, Olathe freshman; Annetta Manthei, Rochester, Minn., freshman; and Kelly Zapf, Rochester, N.Y., freshman.
The team has taken aim for the national collegiate tournament in Buffalo in April. Each member averages nearly 200 points per game.
It is the balance between the three veterans, Mosqueda, McBurney and Boehm, and the three freshmen, Morgan, Manthei and Zapf, that gives the squad hopes of competing in the national tournament.
"They've definitely influenced us," Zapf said of the team's veterans. "Just to see their dedication gives us the same drive."
The men's team also hopes to be Buffalo-bound in April. The men's team is made up of Alan Emmons, Loveland, Colo., sophomore; Jesse James, Lawrence junior; Ryan Ludwig, Kansas City, Kan., junior;
Mike Keeler, St. Charles, Mo., senior; Jason Elliott, Salina junior and University Daily Kansan design editor; and Marc D'Errico, Rochester, N.Y., sophomore. The six members average more than 200 points per game each. The men are trying to top last year's fifth-place national finish.
"This year we have as much talent if not more than last year," D'Errico said. "By the end of the year, we'll be one of the best teams in the nation."
"We've done well so far, but there's a lot of new people, and I think it's going to take a while before we start clicking. Hopefully, we'll start clicking around nationals."
Teamwork has helped the KU bowlers thrive, Ludwig said.
"One of the best things about KU is that most people think that bowling is an individual sport, but here it's a team sport," he said. "Here there's other guys to stand by you and help you with changing conditions."
The "changing conditions" include what ball to throw, where to stand, oil patterns and ball reaction.
ball reaction.
"It takes, like any sport, dedication, hard work, and remaining analytical throughout the tournament," McBurney said. "Most people think you just throw the ball straight at the pins. We really try to take it at more depth."
berger.
Amidst a season full of high expectations, McBurney and her teammates plan to take it one pin at a time, starting at a Thanksgiving tournament that features more than 60 teams in St. Louis.
Helping both teams with the needed preparation are men's coach Mike Fine, women's coach Tom Partridge and assistant coach Brian Schmidt-berger.
"I feel this group this year we have an excellent chance of going to nationals," McBurneysaid. "We have the talent, the dedication, and the spirit to go all the way."

City gives OK to first step of rezoning proposal
With plan, historic homes could be preserved. duplexes prevented
By Jeremy Clarkson
Kansan staff writer
A proposed rezoning of the Old West Lawrence neighborhood would save historic houses from demolition by preventing any further construction of duplexes, and would keep students living in the area.
The proposed change to the neighborhood, which extends from Alabama to Arkansas streets and 6th to 9th streets, would change the zoning from duplex to single-family.
Members of the Old West Lawrence Neighborhood Association met with the City Commission last Tuesday to submit the rezoning proposal. The Commission voted unanimously in favor of the proposal.
Amy Goans, OWL task force chairwoman, said the purpose of the rezoning was not to affect students, but to prevent the demolition of historic houses in the neighborhood.
"There are no ulterior motives here," she said. "This is not about students or landlords."
Goans said that if the neighborhood was rezoned, it would not be subject to the housing ordinance, which states only a maximum of three non-related people may live in a single-family residence.
"There are no ulterior motives here. This is not about students or landlords"
Amy Goans Old West Lawrence Neighborhood Association chairwoman
Landlords can still allow four non-related people to live in a residence, but each landlord can also choose to enforce the ordinance, she said.
Goans said another reason for rezoning was to help stabilize the neighborhood. The area had an abundance of small affordable housing, she said.
After the City Commission's favorable vote, the proposal will now go to the city planning commission and city staff.
The city planning commission will review it and city staff will notify homeowners in the neighborhood. They will then vote on the proposal before giving their recommendation to the commission.
tion to the commission Before the meeting, Goans said homeowners of the neighborhood had signed a petition in favor of the proposition, and that the support had been amazing.
Sean Moore, Old West Lawrence neighborhood resident, said he thought rezoning the neighborhood was a good idea.
"If they are trying to save the houses, then I'm up for that," said Moore, Pensacola, Fla., junior.
In February, there will be an open meeting to discuss the rezoning with residents of the neighborhood before a final decision is made on the proposal.

Jackass staple Steve-O affixes women's undergarments to himself. Steve-O performed Saturday at the Lied Center with the MTV show's regulars Preston Lacy, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna and Chris Pontius.
Flames, blood fill 'Jackass' evening
By Amanda Beglin Kansan features editor
"Take off your clothes!" a man in the audience screamed to Danielle Willey, who was standing timidly onstage at the Lied Center introducing the Don't Try This At Home Tour, featuring members of MTV's Jackase
That was 10 minutes before showtime.
But such was the Saturday night mood, heightened as a midget and an obese man ran down the main aisles
in tight white underwear at the beginning of the show.
Painful antics followed as Steve O, wearing a shredded Jayhawks T-shirt, smashed an unopened can of Sprite against his head until it burst.

"Who threw the money shot?" he asked, surprised he had been downed by the second ball.

GTAC protests contract negotiations
"In the last few meetings no progress has been made.
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition member Joy Wrolson paced the sidewalk in front of Strong Hall Friday wearing a placard that read, "Will Teach For Food."
Wrolson does teach — she's a graduate teaching assistant in the department of theatre and film — but she and fellow GTAC members staged the protest to publicize their continued dissatisfaction with the University's offers in ongoing contract negotiations.
"We want KU to know that we aren'tgiving up and aren't willing to settle," said Michael Schmitt, GTAC member and one of the organizers of the protest.
so we've decided to put more pressure on," Wrolson said. "We're having to move beyond negotiating to make other people aware of what's going on."
Contract negotiations between the University of Kansas administration and the GTAC are in the 14th month, but the GTAC is not happy with the University's offers and has no plans to stop any time soon.

One KU student cuts studying abroad short, the rest remain
JAYHAWKS ABROAD
By Rachel Larson Special to the Kansan
Aaron Smith was studying abroad in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, on Sept. 11, when he saw the horrendous events unfold on television in his dorm.
Gardner juniors. As a result of those events, and the international instability that followed, Smith came home early, 21 days after the terrorist attacks.
"I will never forget the look of horror on the faces of the Americans and students of other nationalities as we watched the World Trade Center collapse," said Smith, Gardner junior.
attacks.
He was the only KU student who cut his study abroad plans short.
Overall, there are 211 KU students studying abroad in 26 countries. Seventeen of those are still in Santiago de Compostela.
Two other students who had not yet left for their study abroad programs decided to stay.
He said he hoped to eventually resume his education in Spain, but he felt more comfortable
Smith said that others in Santiago considered returning to the United States, but he was the only one who actually did.
"I will never forget the look of horror on the faces of the Americans and students of other nationalities as we watched the World Trade Center collapse."

"Even though you can be told you're safe one day, you never really know what could happen," Smith said.
Office of Study Abroad Director Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco said her office tried to keep study abroad students informed as the disaster unfolded, and it has also sent e-mails to all of the students, updating them on the U.S. Department's recommendations to international travelers.
It urged the students abroad to take extra precautions and check with their local U.S. embassies for current information.
Smith said the Office of Study Abroad couldn't have been more helpful in his transition.
"Not only were they efficient in helping me to complete the process of returning to KU while I was in Spain, but they also offered an immense amount of help upon my return to the KU campus." Smith said.
He said he had no major complaints, although the transition back to KU had been difficult.
"Since I was only in classes for two weeks, I have to actually do all the work that I missed and keep up with regular class work," said Smith.
Gronbeck-Tedesco said one study abroad program planned during Spring Break had been canceled because of the recent events. She remains optimistic about the other programs.
At the other program, "In times of emergency the standard thing we do is pay attention to the world situation," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "We try to maintain our programs as usual unless we feel they should not."

Trial-setting date scheduled for man charged with assault
Huntae Lim, South Korea visiting scholar, will meet with attorneys at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 27, to discuss if a trial date will be set or a plea agreement reached on assault charges, said Brad Burke, assistant district attorney.
Lim was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, a misdemeanor, after he threatened his roommate, Ansu Rogers, Olathe senior, at Jayhawker Towers between 8:32 and 8:35 a.m. Thursday, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey.
The verbal dispute was the first incident between the roommates reported to the KU Public Safety Office, Bailey said.
Rogers declined to comment.
Lim pointed a kitchen knife at Rogers and said "Do you want to die? I'll kill you. You think about it."
Roger said Lim was released on a $500 own-recognizance bond, which meant that if Lim failed to make his court appearances, a warrant would be issued for his arrest.
Lim is not allowed to have contact with Rogers or return to Jayhawker Towers.

'What Would Jesus do?' author honored by road stretch
TOPEKA — A mile stretch of U.S. 24 in Topeka's city limits was dedicated Saturday to a local minister whose 1896 book asked readers "What Would Jesus Do?"
The Rev. Charles Shieldon was minister of Topeka's Central Congregational Church and wrote "In His Steps."
The dedication was the result of action taken by the 2001 Legislature.
Sheldon based "In His Steps" on a series of sermons about a man dressed in rags who interrupts a Midwestern church service after people ignore his pleas for help.
Just before he dies, the man tells the congregation, "There's an awful lot of trouble in the world that somehow wouldn't exist if all the people who sing such songs went and lived them out."
such songs went out in the book, the congregation then promises to spend a year asking "What would Jesus do?" when confronted with issues in daily life.

Proposal to abolish main SAT debated at college conference
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — A proposal to ditch the SATI college entry exam was debated this weekend at a University of California-sponsored conference.
UC President Richard Atkinson shocked higher education circles earlier this year with the proposal to discard the test.
Critics say the test is biased against disadvantaged students and devalues high school grades, which are a better predictor of students' future college success.
UC started requiring the SAT for admissions in 1968, becoming the biggest user of the test and helping to turn it into a national standard.
The university also requires students to take three of the lesser-known SAT II tests. Faculty are considering Atkinson's proposal to go exclusively with the SAT II while looking for a better alternative. A decision could come next spring.

Forty taken into custody after military school protest
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ga. — Thousands of demonstrators marched outside Fort Benning yesterday to protest a former Army school they blame for alleged human rights violations against Latin American civilians. About 40 people were taken into custody.
During the annual funeral march to the front gate of the post, protesters carried signs reading "Imperialist Assassins" and created a memorial to the alleged victims of graduates of the School of the Americas, which was a training center for Latin American soldiers.
American schools "i wanted to bear witness to these deeds by SOA graduates — to take a stand against terrorism wherever it happens to be," said Ralph Armbruster, a social science teacher from Santa Barbara, Calif.
About 40 people were taken into custody after they slipped through an opening in a fence and onto base property. Fort Benning spokesman Rich McDowell said they were given letters barring them from the post for five years and released.

court. The crowd, estimated by police at 6,000 to 7,000, included senior citizens and veterans. The annual demonstration at the gates of Fort Benning commemorates the Nov. 16, 1989, killings in El Salvador of six Jesuit priests, to which some of the school's graduates have been linked.
With the United States at war against terrorists and Americans riding a patriotic wave, organizers said it was more important than ever to protest the former school.

Lutheran congregation installs the first gay pastor in Florida
NATION
KEYWEST, Fla. — A congregation has installed the first noncelibate, gay Lutheran pastor in Florida, adding fuel to a national debate on the role sexually active homosexuals play in Protestant churches.
Arlo David Peterson was named pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on Nov. 11, although unmarried people, including gay men and women, are only allowed to be Lutheran pastors if they wom to remain celibate.
"I've lived in the closet most of my life, but I came to Key West for the sake of my relationship," said Peterson, who was a Lutheran pastor for more than 20 years in New York and named adjunct pastor at Holy Trinity in August 1999.
With his installation, Peterson joined more than a dozen gay or lesbian Lutheran pastors nationwide who are serving in defiance of church rules, said Greg Egertson, a board member of the Lutheran Lesbian and Gay Ministry.
Meteor show dazzles watchers from the east to the west coast
MOUNTWILSON, Calif. - Thousands of shooting stars provided a dazzling light show yesterday that amazed veteran and novice stargazers alike as the Leonid meteor show made the moonless sky appear to rain light.
At the peak of the early morning shower, as many as 1,250 meteors per hour streaked overhead, according to NASA estimates.
Atop Mount Wilson, hundreds of cars clogged the road leading to the observatory high above the Los Angeles basin as stargazers sought out dark spots to watch the display.
Patty Ronney, 49, said she had never seen a single meteor before leaving her El Segundo home late Saturday. Hours later she had seen countless numbers.
Streak after streak of light shot across the sky as tiny bits of comet debris burned up harmlessly in the atmosphere.
The best viewing in the United States was between 4 and 6 a.m. EST, but people on the East Coast reported seeing meteors fly even after dawn broke at 6:46.

University awards the family of fallen war correspondent
PAMPLONA, Spain — A Spanish university has presented an award to the family of Miguel Gil Morena de Mora, the 32-year-old Associated Press Television News cameraman killed in Sierra Leone during a rebel ambush.
The ambush on May 24, 2000, also took the lives of Washington native Kurt Schork, 53, a correspondent for Reuters, and four members of the Sierra Leone army. Gil had reported since 1993 in Chechnya, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Congo and other war zones.
"Miguel was a war correspondent who gave a service to his professional colleagues, to the truth, and to the innocent people that suffer the consequences of war," Lorenzo Mila, a news chief for Spanish National Television, said at the presentation of the Luka Brajovic Journalist Prize on behalf of the University of Navarra on Saturday
University of Navarra in Spain. The award takes its name from the much admired Croat law professor and journalist Luka Brajnovic who began teaching journalism at the Navarra university in 1958. He died in February at the age of 82.

Peace prize focus of class

2858 Four
Wheel Dr.
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Elizabeth Wenger is learning about the peace process this semester from some of the world's leading authorities on the subject.
A one-time class — "War, Peace and the Nobel Peace Prize" — offered in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the Nobel Prize, has brought a peace prize winner and a former adviser to the United Nations to the University of Kansas as guest lecturers.
Jose Ramos-Horta, 1996 Nobel Peace Prize winner, was a guest speaker on Oct. 11, and Peter van den Dungen, a former UN advisor, visited the class last Thursday.
"He's been one of the major figures in creating peace studies as a discipline in academia," said Carl Strikwerda, professor of history and the primary teacher of the class.
teacher of the class.
Wenger, Wichita junior, said she took the class only because a professor suggested it to her. But since then, she's discovered the importance of the peace process.
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
She said learning about the peace process was often overshadowed by other concerns.
"I hadn't realized that there's such a defined tradition of peacemaking," she said.
"Since the mid-19th century, there been a definite movement to foster peace, which we don't learn about as much as we do the causes of war," she said. "The peace process, the alternatives to war and ways of avoiding it is important to keep in the uppermost parts of our minds."
Strikwerda said five to six people from the community regularly sat in on the lectures every week
"We've used the Nobel Prize as a springboard from which we built these classes and a dialogue," she said.
Diane Fourny, director of the Center for European Studies, put together a yearlong program to celebrate the Nobel Prize that included two special classes last semester and two this semester. The other one-time class this semester is "Rhetoric of the Nobel Prize."
He said several KU faculty members who had guest lectured in the course expressed an interest in developing a peace studies program at KU.

The outside speakers were sponsored by the Hall Center for Humanities, the Center for European Studies and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Fourny said KU students might be able to earn a peace studies minor in about a year.

Sensitivity doesn't require lying
But all of a sudden in this age of Oprah re-runs and Dawson's Creek, Americans have become more sensitive than an Enrique Iglesias video. Anything and everything offends us. Take for example, the movie Shallow Hal. The movie has caused quite a stir concerning it's portrayal of fat people. I'm sorry, I meant morbidly obese people. No, that's not right either. Let's just say heavy people are the butt of 98 percent of the iokes in the movie.
We have all been taught to be sensitive to each other's feelings and respect everyone. But despite being instilled with these values, we still poke fun at other people and point out other's misgivings. It's human nature. Everyone has prejudices and preconceived notions that base how we judge another person.
The point is, I never know what term is politically correct these days when describing a group of people because everyone is so sensitive and easily offended. Now, because of movies like Shallow Hal, American Sweethearts, and The Nutty Professor, advocacy groups supporting overweight people are complaining about the portrayal of thickset individuals and the use of fat suits by actors.
Yes, there are actually groups like the International Size Acceptance Association and the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. What is next, the National Association to Advance Husky Filipino's Acceptance?
Actually, that sounds like a great idea.
I am not exactly svlette myself, so I can understand why some obese people would be a little mad. Having your
Commentary
shortcomings or stigmas become sources of laughter is not fun for anyone. But to make it a public issue is uncalled for. People are made fun of everyday. Making fun of someone's physical appearance is the basis of all comedy. It starts in grade school. Kids make fun of others for their big noses, last names, small boobs, braces and of course the king of all disses, the dirt-stache. Then as we get older, the teasing goes on to more mature material like big butts, a receding hairline, and each other's mothers.
But why is someone's weight the most sensitive topic of all? Because we are taught in America that despite various external features being bad, being fit and thin is the most important aspect of beauty. We are taught that we were born with a perfect body and we should take care of it at all costs. If we let a little meat get on the bone, then of all of a sudden we are "overweight" in big bold letters.
The reason people find such delight in antagonizing fat people is because it is a universal trait. Attributes like a certain race, skin color or religious belief are all one sect of the human population. But being fat is universal. There are fat people everywhere in every country and people can relate to that.
The only problem I do have with Shallow Hal is that inner beauty is represented by a thin person. We all know true beauty and perfection is represented by Britney Spears circa the "I'm a Slave 4 U" video. But what about the guys who dig midgets, or girls with no limbs or girls with big butts. Oh wait a minute, there is another sensitive topic that cannot be touched. Women and their bums. My bad.
Beyond this topic of weight we are sensitive about everything. Homosexuals protested Eminem's controversial lyrics, Italians protested The Sopranos portrayal of Italian mobsters, and advocates wanted the guys of Jackass to stop being themselves. Making such a big deal about such controversial topics only provides more publicity for the perceived offenders. Eminem has sold millions of records and The Sopranos and Jackass' ratings have skyrocketed.
People just need to relax and realize it is just entertainment and it is make believe. Or you can fight back and adopt my belief that two wrongs in fact do make a right. Those who feel they are unjustly mocked, like fat people, need to unite and fight back. For example, fat people need to make a movie about skinny boring people like Gwenyth Paltrow who concern themselves with trivial things like fashion and dieting. And her "period of inner beauty" can be that time before she got the Hollywood make-over and dated Brad Pitt to promote her career. No, that sounds a little too insensitive.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT SEX
Dear Editor.
The themes of these articles (casual sex, group sex, sodomy) are insulting and offensive to many students at KU. By printing a column which appeals to base and carnal human desires, the Kansan damages its own reputation and that of the University. I think it is improper for the Kansan, being funded by the State of Kansas and mandatory student fees, to print articles of this nature which could very well be read by minors visiting the University and by the children of students and faculty.
Dear Editor,
I believe the Kansan has crossed the line of journalistic integrity by publishing Meghan Bainum's weekly sex column. In my opinion, the articles do more than inform students about sexual behavior, they advocate sexual promiscuity. The physical and emotional dangers of this practice are well known and documented. Any understanding of sex that treats other humans simply as a means of gratifying personal sexual desires is dangerous and immoral.
SAINTS BE PRAISED
Dear editor.
Ms. Bainum took some time off! What a relief! Is there any way to extend
The University of Kansas is supposed to be an institution of higher education. I don't think it takes a college course in journalism to write garbage. Sadly, what one learns from her column is questionable at best. Her column could be extremely informative in this day and age of STD's, abortion, single motherhood and alternative lifestyle. Instead, we get Hustler.
her down-time?
Kursten Phelps' column about the Manhattan High School Indians ("Manhattan misses opportunity to correct school's racist mistake," Nov. 9) reminds me of two other racist sports team nicknames that have somehow escaped public condemnation. I am talking about the Boston Celtics and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Surely the portrayal of Irish-Americans as
The only turkey Ms. Bainum should be stuffing is her column ... into the oven.
I'm no Bible thumper, by the way. I work as a cashier at Naismith Hall. There are a lot of kids who can tell you I'm no prude. For the record, though, I am a senior citizen and a voting Republican.
Kathy Turner Naismith Hall
Dear editor.
WHY NOT BAN THE INNISI?
drunken, smoking, pugnacious, greenclad imps is a relic of a more prejudiced time and has no place in politically correct America. Why are we offended by the Manhattan Indians while allowing these teams to keep their equally offensive nicknames?
Two reasons: Most of us know someone who is Irish-American, and we know they don't give a damn what Boston's basketball team calls itself. But since few of us know any Native Americans, we don't know what will offend them and are afraid of being offensive. Out of these fears come ideas that anything called "Indian" will hurt their feelings.
Use your head. Nobody is offended by the Chiefs or the Indians or the Braves any more than they are offended by the Fighting Irish. All this irrational fear of offending people accomplishes is silly debates such as this.

ANIMAL RIGHTS ROUNDUP
Dear editor.
Dear editor,
I was heartened to see the Kansan's article ("Local activists protest treatment of animals at American Royal Rodeo." Nov. 5) on abuses that occur at rodeos. I hope it will prompt those who patronize rodeos for entertainment to
pause and question their support. Not only are the abuses toward the animals horrendous, the basic principle of the rodeo is fundamentally flawed.
How is shocking an animal, terrifying him, chasing him, roping him to a neckbreakening halt and tying his legs, a sign of manliness and bravery? Rodeos are falsely advertised as a demonstration of human skill to tame the creatures of the "Wild West," while in reality they are merely manipulative displays of human domination over docile animals.
If cowboys truly have a "consideration for livestock" and "aren't trying to hurt animals" they would refuse to participate in such events. While there may not always be visible physical damage to the animal (often the injuries are internal), there will be psychological damage to the animal. And don't forget that after many months of pain and suffering, the only reward a rodeo animal recieves is a trip to the slaughterhouse.
The American cowboy is so embedded in our culture that we hesitate to question the actions surrounding the icon. Perhaps if the public knew what truly took place in the arena, people would stop attending rodeos, just one of the many hideous spectacles we force animals to endure for an evening's worth of "fun."

Jackass: Flames, blood at the Lied

He high-fived a man in the front row, and clutched his hurting arm.
And with good reason
His chest and shoulders were still trickling blood from when he had stapled bras to himself minutes earlier.
He also had rammed his head into Lacy's stomach, splitting an inflated rubber glove with his nose.
And his tongue was still bleeding after he traced it with a light bulb glass shard to test its sharpness.
He had eaten the shard, holding his microphone to prove each prickly bite, and followed it with a swig of tequila — actually apple juice, because of University polic.
Finally, Steve-O worked "extremely flammable hairspray" into his hair and held a lighter to it.
Jackass' tour manager blew on his head, sending a sphere of flames forward, and Steve-O bolted to a wet tank-top Acuna was holding to extinguish his hair.
"Where we gonna go?" Steve-O asked the near-capacity crowd at the end of the show.
A student responded by dropping a shirt onstage and running back to her seat. Steve-O picked it up and read the tag — an invite to her 21st birthday party.

"All right, that's where we're gonna go," he said. He read the address aloud. The audience roared.
As the rowdy crowd left, Tarek Al-Baghal, Leavenworth graduate student, was looking for a place to return his donkey costume.
"It was sitting next to the person at the will-call window when I went to buy my ticket," AlBaghal said. "I asked if I could wear it during the show and they said 'OK.'"
In exchange for his driver's license, he was allowed to roam the aisles pre-show and, at the tour manager's request, was a visual aid for the running men in underwear at the beginning of the show.

Flu vaccinations advised before leaving campus

Officials at Watkins Memorial Health Center are encouraging students to get flu shots before they leave for Thanksgiving break.
campus. As of Nov. 10, Kansas was one of 22 states to report sporadic occurrences of influenza this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control Web site.
Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins, said students traveling to different parts of the country could be exposed to the virus and bring it back to campus.
Strother said Watkins would have its flu clinic open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Tuesday. Students can receive their shots on a walk-in basis for $10, she said.

While last year was a mild season for the influenza virus in the United States and no cases had yet been reported at KU. Strother said health officials were expected a big year for the disease.
"We really want to protect students before they go home for break," Strother said. "It doesn't matter if you got the shot last year. Influenza is brilliant; every year it mutates."
Still, some students choose not to get the shot.
Still, some students chose hiking. Scott McDaniel, Garden City senior, said he was going home for break but was not considering the vaccine.
the vaccine. He said he got colds occasionally but thought the shots were more useful for people at a high-risk for getting influenza, like the elderly or those with chronic diseases such as diabetes or asthma.
"I haven't had the flu since I was 12 or 13," McDaniel said. "Getting the shot just hasn't occurred to me."
According to Strother and the CDC Web site, the flu season usually consists of two peaks, a small one in December and a larger one in late January or early February.
Last year, there were 9,962 positive tests for influenza in the United States.

Kinsey's ego indifference hurt team
If he only had a heart.
"Tin Man" Mario Kinsey should head to see the wizard, because the freshman quarterback has a rib cage with no contents.
tents. If he only had a heart, Kansas football would undoubtedly be better off. Instead, the Jayhawks have followed their gutless signal caller to a last place finish in the Big 12 Conference's northern division. His coaches can't trust him, his teammates refuse to follow him and the fans loathe him.
In the second half of Saturday's embarrassing 49-7 loss to Iowa State, Kinsey was on the sideline, laughing and horsing around with his teammates, showing a winning smile that contradicted the losing score. The Tin Man was having a horrible day, having tossed four interceptions — one that was returned for a touchdown — but he still found enough time to laugh at the embarrassment. In the lowest point for Jayhawk football since 1987, Kinsey found room for humor.
Unfortunately for the Tin Man, his Jayhawk career is the real joke.
Anybody who watches Kansas football knows that one of the quitters is the freshman with No. 17 on his back. All season, the Jayhawk football coaches waited for Kinsey to step into the starting quarterback role. He never did. Both Terry Allen and Tom Hayes searched for reasons to start Kinsey, but they were never sold on the Tin Man, and the likable — and far less gifted — Zach Dyer has found his way into the Kansas lineup based on personality alone. When Hayes was named coach two weeks ago, one of his first moves was to bench the Tin Man in favor of Dyer.
But the football coaches supposedly aren't the only coaches on campus to tire of the Tin Man's routine. Kinsey rose to Kansas athletic fame last year as a backup guard on the basketball team. He quit on Feb. 15, saying he had to concentrate on academics.
Kinsey was arrested in his hometown of Waco, Texas, on May 25 on a charge of possession of marijuana. When he arrived again on Mount Oread two weeks later, Kinsey was arrested again, this time on a charge of stealing a purse and using a stolen credit card, according to the KU Public Safety Office.
If the legal problems weren't enough, Allen was infuriated later in the season when the Tin Man nonchalantly skipped practice and headed home to Waco without feeling the need to tell anybody. The punishment was banishment to second-string duty in the Jayhawks' Oct. 6 game at Texas Tech. His teammates haven't responded to Kinsey since.
On nearly every drive, the Tin Man only looks at one receiver before tucking the ball in and running. His selfish play is one of the main reasons why the Jayhawks' offense has scored just two touchdowns in the last 16 quarters. Kinsey's statistics for the season look more horrific than the box office numbers for Corky Romano — 994 yards, six touchdown passes and 10 interceptions while playing in nine of the Jayhawks' 10 games.
If the Tin Man only had a heart, Kansas football would be going places.
Instead, the new wizard of Jayhawk football — whoever he is, and whenever he's hired — should remind the Tin Man that there's no place like home, and that there's no time like now to go there and stay.

Indomitable Texas team finally falls
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
Shortly after an emotional celebration with her teammates, reminiscent of a dog pile after a World Series game, Molly LaMere, the Kansas volleyball team's only senior, walked off the court at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center for the final time as a Jayhawk.
And she walked on nappy.
For the first time in 15 tries, the Jayhawks defeated the Texas Longhorns on Saturday night.
Just under 900 lucky fans watched LaMere and her teammates get what coach Ray Bechard characterized as one of the three biggest wins in his four years at Kansas.
Kansas (16-14, 6-13) guaranteed a winning season with the win against Texas (14-12,8-10), taking the match 3-1.
"It was just a tremendous team effort," Bechard said. "We spread it around a little bit. Our left side really kept us afloat and then (Kylie) Thomas had some really timely kills in the last two games."
Texas dominated Kansas in game one, winning 30-20, behind freshman outside hitter Mira Topic's seven kills.
outside inter Mika Teppe. But just when it seemed like it might be a disappointing senior night for LaMere, and a disappointing final home match for the players, coaches and fans, the Jayhawks did something they have struggled with all season long.
They held leads and they battled back from behind.
struggled with a strong opponent in three straight games.
They showed the fans what they were capable of.
"In all three of those tight games we didn't panic." Bechard said. "We made
good passes and swings and got a huge win for the Jayhawk program. There have been some really good wins, but obviously we had never beat Texas. If there is a top three, it would be in there easily."
Sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome led the Jaighaws with 21 kills, followed by sophomore outside hitter Abbie Jacobson with 18.
LaMere said she was proud of her team's effort and happy to get a win.
"With it being my last home match and having my family here, it felt great," LaMere said. "We knew we could do it. It just depended on how we came out and played. We definitely have the talent and the ability."

The 49-7 drubbing Iowa State handed Kansas on Saturday afternoon displeased interim coach Tom Hayes. But it was how early the game unraveled — in the second quarter — that bothered him most.
During that painful 15-minute stanza, the Jayhawks' coach witnessed the Cyclones take advantage of several Kansas miscues. Before long, Iowa State had widened a 7-0 lead to a 28-point cushion.
The Cyclones were well on their way to becoming bowl-eligible with their sixth win of the season. But Kansas was reeling -left wondering how its season could have gone so wrong so fast.
could have gone so wrong.
The Jayhawks were never able to rebound from the two-turnover, threepenalty, second-quarter collapse. Kansas suffered defeat in front of 33,500 at Memorial Stadium on Senior Day.
"It was a frustrating second quarter," Hayes said. "I didn't think we hung in there. When things started going bad, I don't think we stood up — offensively, defensively or in the kieking game, and I told them so at halftime."
Iowa State senior running back Ennis Haywood was the workhorse for the Cyclones in the second quarter. After being contained by the Kansas defense for 29 yards on 11 carries in the first quarter, Haywood erupted for 129 yards and three touchdowns as Iowa State pounded Kansas on the ground.
"Good running backs fall forward when they get tackled," said senior free safety Jamarei Bryant, who made six tackles in his second-to-last game at Kansas. "He makes cuts and he runs

Kansas wins with rebounding
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
Kansas point guard Selena Scott knew her team needed to concentrate on rebounding in its season opener against Grambling State on Friday.
After being rebounded 48-50 the previous weekend by Fort Hays State, the women's basketball team had worked on recovering the ball all week in practice, honing its rebounding skills.
"We did a few drills," Scott said. "If
you didn't box out, you were running for it, and you don't want to do that. Everybody got it set in their heads that they wanted to box out and get the rebound because we knew we would pay for it when we got to practice."
The work paid off as the Jayhawks topped Grambling State 77-58 and Kansas dominated the Tigers 52-40 in rebounds. Kansas senior center Kristin Geoffroy grabbed 12 rebounds and freshman Blair Waltz added 10. In 30

You're awesome this year. You'll quickly and effectively use what you know. What you don't know now, you'll learn. Manage your resources carefully. The money will tend to come in big lumps.

while? Take time to listen.

Senior guard KC Hilgenkamp and Sharonne Spencer joined Geoffroy in reaching double figures with 15 and 11 points respectively. Ten Kansas players scored for the Jayhawks. Washington said her team would need to count on scoring contributions from more than a few players this season.
"We've been concerned about where we're going to score, but we found a lot of people doing some good things." Washington said. "We're going to have to get points from a lot of players."
Spencer showed flashes of her scoring potential in the second half, coming off the bench and sparking the Jayhawk offense with four buckets and two free throws.
"Obviously, Sharonne came off the bench and did a nice job, so there's no question I'm going to look to her and see if she can maintain that," Washington said.
One of her baskets gave Kansas its largest lead of the game at 69-52.
Geoffroy said she believed that potential was developing in each of her players.
"Those who haven't stepped up yet, we're still waiting on them, we're still working on them, but

Returning four starters from last season's 18-12 team, the Cardinals head into this season with a chance at the Mid-American Conference Championship. That means the Jayhawks will need to defeat three quality teams in three consecutive nights to win the Mau championship.

"When we go to Maui, I want to win it," Hinrich said. "It will take a great effort all three nights if we're going to do this. Our first challenge is Ball State, and it's our first game. We're obviously very excited about that, and we should be ready to play."
In Hinrich's first two seasons, Kansas won its regular season opening tournaments. Kansas won the Great Alaska Shootout two seasons ago and the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic last year. Kansas also has a 36-game November winning streak on
Williams said earlier in the week that he would experiment with lineups in practice with sophomore swingman Bryant Nash seeing significant time at power forward, as a back up to junior forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden.
Nash could be the determining factor for Kansas' front-court depth this week if the two get into foul trouble. If Nash, who played power forward in high school but never in collegiate play, would fail to get the job done at power forward, Williams said he would go to a variety of lineups, perhaps even playing four guards at the same time if needed.

Scobey has 1,089 yards on the season, and his sixth 100-yard game of the year tied a school record set by Isaac Jackson in 1973 and matched by J.J. Smith in 1994.
Louisiana Tech (6-4), which had been scheduled to visit Manhattan on Sept. 15—until the terror attacks of Sept. 11 wiped out that weekend's major college football schedule.

WACO, Texas — Darrent Williams returned interceptions 20 and 85 yards for touchdowns as Oklahoma State beat Baylor 38-22 Saturday, handing the Bears their 29th straight Big 12 loss.
The Cowboys (3-7, 1-6), who had just six interceptions their first nine games, also scored touchdowns after Kirk Milligan intercepted two passes.
It was the first Big 12 victory for Oklahoma State coach Les Miles, who was hired after last season. Baylor (2-8, 0-8), which outgained the Cowboys 517 yards to 323, still hasn't won a conference game under third-year coach Kevin Steele.

Oklahoma (10-1, 6-1) needs only a victory at home next Saturday against woeful Oklahoma State to win the South division and earn a spot in the conference title game Dec. 1 at Texas Stadium. The Sooners would play the winner of Friday's Nebraska-Colorado game.
BIG 12 BASKETBALL Knight wins his first debut as Texas Tech defeats Tribe
LUBBOCK, Texas — Bob Knight made an animated, successful return to college basketball Friday, guiding Texas Tech to a 75-55 victory over the William & Mary Tribes.
Knight walked onto the court for his first game in 20 months biting his lip and looking down. He pulled up the right sleeve on his black sweater before tipoff, then stretched his arms in disgust after his team's first possession.
After a mistake on Tech's first offensive possession, Knight stood and barked instructions to point guard Will Chavis when the team went on defense. He gave Chavis more guidance on the next dead ball, too.
The victory made Knight 1-0 on the job for the first time. He lost debuts at Army in 1965 and Indiana in 1971.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B
'Hawks to compete, relax in Maui
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's basketball team is not on a strictly-business mission this week in Maui, Hawaii.
The Jayhawks want to take home the Maui Invitational crown, but they also want to enjoy their beautiful surroundings in Hawaii.
"It's my favorite scenario ever
for a trip," Kansas coach Roy Williams said before the team left for Hawaii Friday morning. "After I stop coaching, I'll be there every Thanksgiving because I think it's a great tournament."
Williams said he wanted the players to have some free time during the weekend so that they could concentrate on basketball once the tournament began.
Kansas junior guard Kirk Hirn-
hid had not been to Hawaii
before and said he was a little worried about relaxing too much.
"I don't think I'm going to be getting in the water. Seriously, I really don't. I always told myself if I was ever around the ocean I wasn't going to be swimming in it because of all the shark attacks." Hinrich said. "I'm not going to stay out in the sun too long because that takes a lot out of you.
He also had another fear nagging him.
and we're going to need all that energy."
Fellow Iowan Nick Collison is making his second trip to Maui. Two summers ago, Collison and a group of college all-stars played the U.S. Dream Team in an exhibition game there.
"I've already been there once, but I'm excited to just relax some while we're there," Collison said.

Men's team to face Ball State today
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
The field in this year's EA Sports Maui Invitational features three teams in the Associated Press Top 25, including No.1 Duke, fifthranked UCLA and No.7 Kansas. Kansas faces Ball State University today in Lahaina, Hawaii.
The Ball State Cardinals were picked to finish second in the Mid-American Conference preseason poll. Ball State finished 18-12 last season with an 11-7 league mark
for a third-place finish in the Mid-
American West Division.
Ball State is led by junior forward Theron Smith, who averaged 16.3 points and 8.1 rebounds last year. He is a preseason pick for the All-Mid-American Conference team.
If Kansas tops Ball State, the Jayhawks will face the winner of the Houston-UCLA game.
The Houston Cougars finished 9-20 last season under first-year coach Ray McCallum. McCallum came to Houston from Ball State.
The Cougars are led by team captain George Williams. The junior forward averaged 13.5 points and 7.3 rebounds last year. Houston returns three other starters. Senior forward Patrick Okafer led the team in rebounding last season with an 8.6 average. He also averaged 10.7 points per game. Senior guard Dominic Smith averaged 12.6 points per game, while junior guard Marcus Oliver averaged 5.9 points and 3.2 rebounds last year.
The Cougars have lost both
their exhibition games this year.
The UCLA Bruins were picked to finish first in the Pacific-10 Conference at Pac-10 Media Day. Junior forward Jason Kapono is a preseason Associated Press second-team All-American. Freshmen Cedric Bozeman is the preseason pick for Pac-10 newcomer of the year. Kapono averaged 17.7 points and 5.7 rebounds last year, while Gadzuric averaged 11.7 points and 8.6 rebounds.

Harry Potter shatters records
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Wizards vanquished lizards as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone grossed $93.5 million in its first weekend, shattering the box-office debut record held by the dinosaur sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
Other records also fell by the wayside. Harry Potter posted the top three one-day box office hauls, according to studio estimates yesterday.
On Friday, Harry Potter broke
And it positioned itself to become the fastest movie to hit $100 million, with a shot at crossing that mark in its fourth day on Monday. It took five days to reach that level for Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace.
Lost World took in $72.1 million in its first three days over the 1997 Memorial Day weekend. If the box-office estimate holds when final numbers are reported today, Harry Potter will have surpassed the $90.1 million Lost World grossed in its first four days.
the record for best single-day take with $31.6 million, topping the previous best of $28.5 million by Phantom Menace in its opening day in 1999.
On Saturday, Harry Potter broke its own record by taking in $32.9 million. And distributor Warner Bros. estimated the movie's ticket sales for yesterday at $29 million, which would give the film The No. 3 best one-day gross.
"We obviously knew going in we were going to have a great opening," said Dan Fellman, Warner's head of distribution. "Nobody anticipated such a staggering number that would shatter every industry record."
Based on the first book of British author J.K. Rowling's adventure series about a school for wizards and witches, Harry Potter was directed by Chris Columbus and stars Daniel Radcliffe in the title role.
They have little time to bask in the film's success. Production on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets begins today in London, with Warner planning to have it in theaters the weekend before Thanksgiving next year.
Monsters, Inc., the No.1 film for the previous two weekends, fell to second place with $23 million. Disney's decision to put the animated tale into theaters two weeks before Harry Potter has paid off: Monsters, Inc. set a record for best debut for an animated movie and had taken in $156.7 million in just 17 days.
The top 12 movies grossed $157.1 million, up 6.6 percent from the same weekend a year ago when four movies opened in wide release, including the blockbuster Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
"I think in the wake of Sept. 11, people are looking for entertainment close to home," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations, which tracks the box office. "Harry Potter plays right into that. It's a fantasy world people can get out of the house and enjoy for a few hours, but stay relatively close to home."

hard. Those are the two best things about him."
for the eighth time in ten games, the Jayha wk defense allowed an opposing rusher to rack up more than 100 yards on the ground. And for the eighth time in ten games, Kansas lost.
After winning a double-overtime duel against Texas Tech on Oct. 6, Kansas has gone winless in six straight games. In its past three games, against No. 2 Nebraska, No. 5 Texas and Iowa State, Kansas has been outscored by 145 points—159 to 14.
"This hasn't been the same Kansas team," said senior cornerback Andrew Davison, who has started every game for Kansas since he was placed in the starting lineup as a freshman with three games left in the 1998 season. "We felt we could beat Iowa State, but we weren't really focused. There were a lot of things that hurt us today, and a lot of guys wanted to get these last two games over with and get home."
Hayes said his team never surrendered, and after halftime, the Jayhawks began the third quarter by engineering its most efficient offensive drive in more than a month. Freshman quarterback Mario Kinsey completed five of six passes for 68 yards and a touchdown. The score marked
"This hasn't been the same Kansas team."

Kansas' first trip to the end zone in six quarters.
Though the drive was nearly flawless, Kinsey's play continued to be inconsistent. He finished the game with four interceptions to go along with his touchdown loss. Three of his four picks resulted in Iowa State scores.
"I always have faith in him," junior wide receiver Byron Gasaway said of Kinsey. Gasaway caught the 9-yard touchdown pass on a fade route.
"He's going through some mistakes, and some are more crucial than others, but he'll get the job done." Gasaway said.
Seventeen Jayhawk seniors will run out of the Memorial Stadium tunnel for the last time next Saturday against Wyoming, and they will draw a close to their college careers.

And that, for them, is still something to play for.
"Going out with a big bang is what it's all about," Bryant said. "Nobody on this team is a quitter."

Some groups upset about less Senate funding
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Some organizations asking Student Senate for money this semester have left meetings upset about how the Finance Committee scrutinized every last dollar.
Several students and members of Senate argue that some student groups don't get fair consideration especially minority groups.
especially during the Casey Collier, Nunemaker senator representing freshman and sophomores, said some members of the Finance Committee didn't consider giving money to groups like the Black Student Union and the Asian-American Student Union as part of improving minority recruitment and retention.
"It's hard to watch these minority groups come through the Finance Committee," Collier said. "They walk out really upset."
outreach aspect.
The Asian-American Student Union asked for $9,760, but that amount was reduced to $3,234 in the Finance and Multicultural Affairs committees.
Minority groups are not the only ones upset about reduced funding. The February Sisters Association asked for $10,450 from Student Senate but received only $6,200 because of budget concerns.
or budget corrections.
The Finance Committee received nine bills from student organizations asking for money on its last agenda. The combined amount requested was $37,369.50. The committee cut that total down to $19,624.50 before passing the bills — a combined cut of $17,745.
Kyle Johnson, engineering senator and Finance Committee member, said the committee had a "rubber stamp" style last year, giving money to every group that came through.
He said student groups were not getting the same kind of funding.
getting the same answer." "Bills get extremely scrutinized this year," Johnson said. "The groups don't get money for things they don't need."
Johnson said he thought the Finance Committee gave an equal amount of consideration to all of the groups at the last meeting.
If no money had been cut from the proposed bills, Full Senate would have spent about 70 percent of its very budget.
Collier said Finance Committee members had a tough job because they had to make sure there would be enough money at the end of the school year for other student groups.
But Mark Dupree, Black Student Union president, said if Senate wanted to improve minority recruitment and retention, senators would need to be more willing to allocate money to multicultural organizations.
Earlier this semester, Dupree's organization requested $4,355 to send members of the Black Student Union to the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government. That amount was cut to $3,245.
"I didn't think it was fair," said Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore. "I don't think that it shows that they are trying to improve minority recruitment and retention. Looking from the outside, you couldn't tell it."
Andy Spikes, Student Senate Executive Committee treasurer, did not return calls Friday through Monday.

Five groups selected for greek Revue

Members from 11 fraternity and sorority pairs, hoping for the opportunity to perform in the 53rd annual Rock Chalk Revue, "Look Both Ways," anxiously sat grasping the hands of fellow group members last night as five groups were selected.
selected.
Angela Agustin, executive director of Rock Chalk, stood in front of the crowd and announced the groups that would perform at the revue in March. The groups selected were: Chi Omega sorority and Phi Delta Theta fraternity, Delta Gamma sorority and Beta Theta Pi fraternity, Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, and Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Pi Beta Phi sorority. Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi will have the first all-female cast in the history of the revue.
revue.
Before the decision, each group submitted a notebook to a panel of 14 judges. The notebook consisted of a plot summary, script, music selections and a description of the set. After the notebook was turned in, judges interviewed the groups.
Angela Agustin, Wichita senior and executive director of Rock Chalk Revue, announces next year's Rock Chalk participants. Five of 11 greek pairs were selected last night at Liberty Hall.
Agustin said she was not part of the judging process but announcing the winners of the contest was difficult for her
"I know I'm making five groups happy and making six groups really upset," she said.
Tom Davis, Olathe junior, was in tears after his fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, was selected.
"It's a total shock," he said.
"It's a total shock," he said. Davis said his group would perform the skit, "The Two Ply Alliance." He said the next step for his group would be auditions and rehearsal.
Agustin said she was excited for the groups performing at the revue because the groups were usually talented and prepared well for the event.
Rock Chalk Revue will be March 7
through March 9 at the Lied Center.
"Until then, their lives are Rock Chalk, so it should be pretty interesting," she said.

Business gives students real-world experience
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
Matt Nixon was brainstorming with his friend Steve Bergman last summer about business ideas.
Bergman, Olathe senior, was a car expert, working as an assistant manager at Advance Auto Parts, 2535 S. Iowa St. Nixon, Overland Park senior, had worked several jobs during his college days, including delivering pizzas.
"Our idea was to make one of the little inconveniences in life a little more convenient," Nixon said.
"Why not a company that delivers oil changes?" the two asked themselves. Starting a business
Nixon knew very little about cars and nothing about changing the oil, other than that it was a pain to wait 45 minutes at a supposed "quickie" oil change business.
And, of course, they had to let the public know that they were in business
So the two KU students in the School of Business went to work putting together a business and marketing plan. On Oct.1, they opened Lube Boyz, a company dedicated to taking cheap oil changes to customers' homes or places of work.
Lube Boyz had to be registered as a company with the State of Kansas, get a limited liability company certificate, set a tax payment plan with the IRS, purchase business insurance and place want ads for employment. They even built a Web site for the company: www.lubeboyz.com.
Nixon said they spent between $3,000 and $4,000 to start the company,
most of which was spent in marketing and licensing fees.

Ex-director of athletic fund charged with felonies

vocabulary may be needed.
The Douglas County District Attorney's office filed a warrant summoning McMichael to appear on Tuesday, Dec. 18 in Douglas County District Court. He will face three counts of making false writings.
Former Williams Fund director Scott McMichael has been summoned to appear in court next month to face felony charges after a University of Kansas audit reported that entertainment vouchers may have been falsified.
The vouchers were submitted on Sept. 7, 2000; Jan. 30, 2001 and Aug. 2, 2001, according to court documents.
according to court documents The audit said the vouchers totaled $8.324.
$6.24 Bill Skepnek, McMichael's attorney, said his client had been negligent in recording his travel expenses, but that he had not intentionally asked for reimbursements for expenditures he had not made.
"I think there's a very big difference." Skepnek said."Based on what I've seen, I'm very disappointed. I think it's wrong."
McMichael resigned Aug. 10, the same day the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation filed a report with the KU Public Safety Office. The report stated that a University of Kansas audit had discovered the possible embezzlement. McMichael cited personal and family reasons in his resignation. He had not given prior notice.
The Williams Fund keeps donations that are used to pay for athletic scholarships
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said the University had no comment on the court summons.
"It's something between Mr. McMichael and the court," Bretz said.

Kansas gas stations settle after price tampering
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Three gasoline stations accused of price gouging after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks have agreed to a settlement with the Wyandotte County district attorney.
In the hours following the attacks, some station owners in Kansas raised the price of fuel to as high as $5 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline.
District Attorney Nick A. Tomasic's office said yesterday two companies that operate three stores in Kansas City, Kan., have agreed to refund customers who bought gas at prices above $2.49. Each store also will pay $750 to the United Way Sept. 11 Fund and $250 in investigative fees.
The two companies that settled are Sali's Inc., which operates two Beege's stations, and VR Stores LLC, which operates U-Do.

ATLANTA — A man who dashed through a security checkpoint at the nation's busiest airport, forcing officials to halt flights and evacuate passengers, will not face federal charges, prosecutors said yesterday.
Michael Lasseter did not violate any federal laws because he did not board an airplane, and because the screening station guards are not federal agents, said Patrick Crosby, a representative for the U.S. attorney's office.
Lasseter was charged with disorderly conduct Friday after causing Hartfield Atlanta International Airport to ground flights and evacuate as many as 10,000 passengers.
Lasseter, 32, a financial executive, told police he had passed the security screening when he arrived at the airport, but returned to the terminal to find his camera bag. Then, rather than go through security a second time, he hurried down an up-escalator to circumvent long lines, police said.
Kennedy nephew to be tried as adult in murder case
HARTFORD, Conn. — The state Supreme Court rejected an appeal by Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel yesterday, clearing the way for his murder trial in the 1975 beating death of a Greenwich neighbor when both were teen-agers.
In a unanimous decision, the justices dismissed Skakel's bill to have his case transferred to juvenile court. No trial date has been set.
Skakel, a nephew of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, is charged with the murder of 15-year-old Martha Moxley, who was beaten to death with a golf club.
No arrests were made for more than 24 years after the killing. Skakel was charged in January 2000 and later arraigned as a juvenile because he had been 15 at the time of his neighbor's death.
Juvenile Court Judge Maureen Dennis had ruled adult court was the proper venue for the trial, in part because the state has no juvenile facility where it could send Skakel, now 41, if he is convicted.

NATION&WORLD Journalists feared dead after gunmen ambush cars

JALALABAD. Afghanistan — Four international journalists were missing and feared dead yesterday after gunmen ambushed a convoy of reporters in a narrow mountain pass on the road to the capital, Kabul.

The four were among more than a dozen international journalists traveling in a convoy of around eight cars from Jalalabad to Kabul. Because the road was dusty, the cars spread out and often lost sight of each other.

Kabul, six gunmen on the roadside waved the first three cars in the convoy to stop. One car sped ahead, while two stopped, said Ashiqualah, the driver of the car carrying the Reuters reporters.

The cars sped back toward Jalalabad to warn the rest of the convoy. Other journalists saw the cars turn, and decided to turn around also. Ashiqallah's account was corroborated by another translator and driver who escaped in the other car.
Haji Sher Shah, an anti-Taliban commander in Jalalabad, said he spoke to residents and travelers on the road who reported seeing four bodies at the location of the attack
"They were on the road, one woman and three men," Shah said, quoting witnesses. He said villagers reported numerous other attacks involving gunfire on vehicles on the same road during the day.

Survey finds some doctors willing to do executions
NATION
PHILADELPHIA — Many doctors would be willing to participate in an execution, even though it violates the Hippocratic oath to do no harm and is prohibited by medical societies, according to a survey published today.
The questionnaire was mailed to 1,000 randomly selected practicing physicians nationwide and 413 responded. The results appear in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The specific actions the doctors were asked about applied to execution by injection, though there were broader questions about capital punishment.
All actions are disallowed by the American Medical Association.
Nineteen percent of responding doctors said they would administer lethal drugs; 28 percent said they would select or insert intravenous lines into the prisoner for the drug's delivery; 30 percent would monitor the prisoner's vital signs; and 36 percent would pronounce the inmate's death.
Only 3 percent of the responding doctors said they knew participating in executions was prohibited by medical societies.

Militia kidnaps six mayors to protest peace efforts
BOGOTA, Colombia — A right-wing militia announced yesterday it was holding six mayor hostage to protest their attempts to reach grassroots peace agreements with leftist guerrillas in Colombia
Police confirmed that several mayors from war-riven northwest Antioquia state have been reported missing since Sunday. Top officials in Bogota, including Attorney General Luis Osorio, condemned the abductions and demanded the mayors be freed.
In a communique, the United Self- Defense Forces of Colombia, or AUC, said it would free the mayors if they acknowledge their contacts with rebels pose a "high risk for the country."
The mayors are part of a larger group who held discussions recently with the leftist National Liberation Army, or ELN, Colombia's second-largest guerrilla faction
The ELN and a larger insurgency, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, are battling government security forces and the AUC in the South American country's 37-year war.
The mayors have asked the government to withdraw police posts from their towns in order to reduce the chances of civilians being caught in rebel attacks.

Sidewalk markings up for debate
Kyle Browning says he has little faith such ads will be prohibited
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
The commercial chalkings across campus that promote Lawrence clubs and their alcohol specials appear questionable to Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost, but they are allowed, she said.
"There is no prohibition regarding chalking on campus," Johnson said. "There has never been a great demand to have a policy on that."
Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operations, agreed but added that any chalkings on vertical surfaces or buildings would be removed.
Kyle Browning, Overland Park senior and student body vice president, said chalking by local businesses was a problem because it interfered with student chalkings.
"Commercial chalkings take up space student organizations could use," Browning said. "And they diffuse the messages of student organizations that do have something to say about the campus."
Businesses have greater resources to distribute their message than student organizations, Browning said.
The Provost's office and Browning are working toward
revised policy governing the usage of campus billboards that would designate more space for academic and student organization postings than to business promotions.
Browning said he had doubts about the workability of a policy on commercial chalking.
James Radina, Phoenix senior and general manager at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., said chalking on campus was a fast and easy advertising option that helped the business.
"Chalking is the cheapest, most effective way to reach students on campus." Radina said. "It always caught my eye while I was walking across campus."
Vincent Gomis, Alicante, Spain, graduate student, said he no longer paid attention to sidewalk chalkings, but they didn't bother him.
"If it were permanent, it would bother me." Gomis said.
Both Browning and Johnson shared concerns about commercial chalking, but neither has confidence that a policy banning commercial chalking could be enforced.

"I don't want to ban all chalking on campus," Browning said.
"That would be terrible."

Race riot death case heard 30 years later
The Associated Press
YORK, Pa. — Former police officers and a former prosecutor testified yesterday they didn't investigate the killing of an African-American woman during a 1969 race riot because it was not their responsibility.
The four former officers included three who responded to the shooting of Lillie Belle Allen with Charlie Robertson, who was an officer at the time and is now the outgoing mayor.
The testimony came at a hearing in which defense lawyers are trying to determine why prosecutors waited more than three decades to file charges in Allen's death.
Defense lawyers say the delay hurts their clients' chances of receiving a fair trial because evidence is missing, some witnesses are dead and memories have faded.
Eight men have been charged with shooting at Allen during a 10-day riot that began after a Caucasian man shot and wounded an African-American youth.
African American Prosecutors say Robertson, the ninth man charged, handed out bullets and encouraged Caucasians to kill African Americans hours before Allen was slain.

The nine defendants, all of them Caucasian, have pleaded not guilty.
not guilty. The officers at yesterday's hearing said they never investigated the killing because they did not have such authority as patrol officers.
Dennis McMaster, who is now a police chief in Cumberland County, said he remembered seeing Robertson hand a box of bullets to a Caucasian man during the riots but was not sure exactly when or where it happened.
Former detective Thomas Chatman said police only assisted in the investigation, which was headed up by state police.
United to try to keep mechanics from striking
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The nearly 2-year-old contract standoff between United Airlines and its mechanics union moved closer to a possible strike yesterday when the mechanics rejected the government's offer of binding arbitration.
Federal mediators, while announcing that a 30-day countdown to a strike will begin later this week, took steps to assure there would be no work stoppage over the heavily traveled Christmas and New Year holidays.
The National Mediation Board said declaring the talks at an impasse and removing the
legal obstacles to a strike should "assist the parties in resolving their dispute."
The mechanics pledged to strike as soon as legally allowed if an agreement isn't reached, which normally would be as soon as the monthlong cooling-off period ends.
But the mediation board recommended the establishment of a presidential emergency board at the end of that period to avoid any possibility of a work stoppage during the holidays.
"We don't expect any disruption of service as a result of the action today by the mediation board," said representative Joe Hopkins of the Elk Grove Village, Ill.-based carrier.
United had accepted the offer of binding arbitration.

"United failed to bargain in good faith and create a level playing field for all employees," said Scotty Ford, president and lead negotiator of IAM District 141-M, representing 15,000 United mechanics and related employees. "We will strike the carrier if an agreement can't be
The mechanics, who are seeking an industry-leading contract, and United had recommended jointly in September that mediators declare an impasse and start the 30-day countdown in order to force a settlement.
reached."
Ford called presidential intervention "unnecessary and undemocratic," and said the process would work if given a fair chance.
Negotiations may continue during the cooling-off period, though none are scheduled.
Separate mediated talks remain under way between United and its ramp workers and customer relations employees.
United senior vice president Bill Hobgodd said the airline stood "ready to continue discussions with the union at any time."

unticult as it was," Bergman said.
Bergman's boss at the auto repair shop was worried about a possible conflict of interest between his two jobs.
"He just told me to be careful and not to have too many Lube Boyz things at work," Bergman said.
Instead of stealing business away from his employer, Bergman and Nixon actually give the repair shop business by purchasing parts and equipment from it.
Both Nixon's and Bergman's parents were excited about the idea, but they were concerned about the entrepreneurs taking time away from their schoolwork to run a business. They were also worried about their sons losing a lot of money.
"I told Steve, as far as doing any kind of advertising or whatever we do, we'd double-check it with five people before we did it," Nixon said. "We can't afford any fines or anything if we do something wrong."
Nixon said their parents probably thought the business would be a good learning experience but would never get off the ground.

"It's kind of a neat idea."
Bentley said. "I see it working for people who are really busy."
Bentley said the $29.99 he paid for a basic oil change was worth it and would probably have them come out to his house to do work in the future
Nixon said he would eventually like to see their business spread to Kansas City and Manhattan. Regardless of how the company fares, however, the two have learned something that can't be taught in a classroom.
"When my parents asked me about it, I just compared it to KU's education," Bergman said. "I'm paying eight grand for a four-year degree, but I'm paying $1,500 for an experience employers want to see."

Students live for free, help quadriplegic
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Some people need assistance in their everyday lives to overcome challenges others take for granted. And for those who help, some perks await.
Fritz Edmunds Jr., an Overland Park trial lawyer, is quadriplegic. Edmunds, a University of Kansas alumnus, is looking for two roommates to provide him living assistance. In exchange, he offers free rent.
Edmunds has two to four students live in his house for free in exchange for providing living assistance each semester. Students take turnats at night getting him dinner and helping him inbed. He said he was looking for two more roommates.
"It's very flexible." Edmunds said. "They can trade off when they have other things to do. It doesn't take a lot of time."
Edmunds, who graduated from the KU School of Law in 1994, said he had had dozens of roommates who averaged two years living with him. Edmunds who broke his neck 16 years ago in a diving accident, said he decided to look for roommate because he didn't want nurses to help him all the time. Edmund said he did have nurses assist him in the mornings to get dressed.
He said he looked for roommates who were responsible. They stay in his five-bedroom apartment and live in his basement with their own living room and bathroom.
"I see myself as a mentor," Edmunds said. "I remain good friends with many of them."
Edmunds isn't the only one who rewards students for their help. Matt O'Connor, Prairie Village junior, lives with Jason Gallagher, a Johnson County Junior College student who has muscular dystrophy. O'Connor gets paid to help put Gallagher to bed, help him go to the bathroom and prepare his meals.
O'Connor said the experience was rewarding.
Gallagher, who lives in Merriam, said O'Connor did a good job helping him.
"It's real impressive how independent he is," O'Connor said. "He's a good friend of mine."
"It's definitely a job where you have to be responsible," Gallagher said. "He listens to what I have to say. We're both good at communicating. It makes for a good working relationship."

Remember manners at Thanksgiving
Well, the weather has not been indicative of the time of year, but that should hardly throw a wrench into the biological clock of any institution, including this college campus. As we all walk around sporting sandals in the midst of fall, we are also gearing up for the first official trip back home since leaving in August.
I am sure a handful of students, namely freshmen, would rather attend a full season of Jayhawk football than go home and face the family following that glorious day the parents left them on the dorm steps and drove away. Those reluctant freshmen need a step-by-step crutch to help make it through the holiday meal this Thanksgiving break.
1. It is important to notice the difference between the cafeteria and your kitchen. Note the way in which you are able to obtain a drink without the use of a lever-operated spigot. Also note the absence of trapezoidal trays. Plan servings around this accordingly, as you now only have two hands and no tray.
Commentary

Justin Henning Columnist opinionkansan.com
2. As you sit at the table, family members may begin to bow their heads and clasp their hands together. This is called grace. It may have been purged from your memory as a hurdle to the eating process. Nevertheless, humor your mother and your grandparents and follow suit. It ends with "Amen."
3. To the left of your plate is a "fork" and to the right of your plate is a "knife" and "spoon." These are called utensils and should be used as vehicles to get the food from plate to mouth. Remember: "If it's in a pile, use your fork for a while. If it's on top of bread, pretend your utensils are dead."
Congratulations! You are eating a Thanksgiving dinner.
4. As the meal progresses, various family members will make remarks to you that sound interrogative, but fail to end in "dude" or "man." Do not panic! These are called questions and should be answered with care. Take caution in using expletives out of place, and use the word "like" sparingly in your responses. Always try to envision the sentence before you say it, so as to avoid any embarrassing slips, such as retelling any event involving large quantities of alcohol. Note: If any person happens to ask about the football team, disavow any knowledge of ever having seen a game and quickly mention a fun fact about Roy Williams or Allen Fieldhouse.
5. If anything should be said that causes the entire table to stop eating and stare at you with open mouths, quickly blame your roommate, as he/she is bound to never meet your parents. Besides, this will usually lead to increased curiosity in your roommate,
who for all your intents and purposes, can drink vodka for breakfast and get stoned before Spanish class, only to come home from campus and force you to drink beer. What mother wouldn't believe her own child?
6. By this point, you should be at dessert. Remember to keep your fork. If it has not been said already, thank the cook(s) of the meal by somehow implying that it was better than "the slop at the cafeteria." This will ensure more dessert. After completing dessert, say "thank you" and declare how full you are, thereby excuse yourself from the table.
You have now completed your first family Thanksgiving since going to college! The family will be so proud, they just might invite you back for the Winter Break. Maybe that roomie of yours will have shaped up by then, too.
Henning is a junior in journalism from Lea-
wood.
PERSPECTIVE
New manager will examine what students want
Convergence is a growing trend in media these days, and readers may soon notice its effects on the Kansan. News convergence combines information from various media, such as television and newspapers.
Next semester, the Kansan plans to working more closely with KUJH and KJHK,the student-run television and radio stations.
The Kansan will add the position of convergence manager, who will serve as a liaison between the staffs of the three campus media outlets, pulling their resources together to cover campus news. Theresa Freed will serve as the inaugural convergence manager.
Commentary
"We need to expose readers to other campus media that they might not know about," Freed said. "Someone may pick up the Kansan every day, but they might not tune into the newscast or listen to the radio."
Freed said the other campus media were important for readers because they

Reporters may start carrying a tape recorder next semester so they can transfer sound bites from their interviews onto KJHK. Reporters will also appear once a week on KUJH and perhaps on KJHK.
One of the biggest effects of convergence of campus media will occur on the Kansan's Web site, kansan.com. Readers will notice considerable changes by next semester, said Andrew Vaupel, Kansan online editor.
provided a different perspective on the news seen in the Kansan.
The main idea is to not make it look
like a paper," Vaupel said. "Right now, we just take the content in the paper and put it online."
Vaupel said the site was currently difficult to navigate and could be more user-friendly.
Starting next semester, an article in the Kansan may be previewed on the KUJH news broadcast the day before and then reported the next day on KJHK. The goal will then be to direct readers to the Kansan web site to listen to the KJHK and KUJH broadcasts for more coverage. Readers would then be able to actually hear and see the people interviewed in stories.
"The goal is to offer students extra coverage without being repetitive," said Kurstin Phelps, Kansan editor. "Readers respond to more visual descriptions and pictures. Good journalism provides visual imagery in a story. Convergence will be able to add to this."
Readers who want campus news in advance must now wait until about 3
a. m., when the site is updated. Readers would be better served if the Kansan Web site was updated several times a day as news happens. Convergence will hopefully make this a reality for readers.
"I'd like to see it updated more often," Freed said. "I'm going to run back and forth between KJHK and the Kansan and try to translate scripts onto the Web site."
Convergence of the campus media will provide readers with a different way of viewing campus news. It will also provide the Kansan with more creative opportunities to address reader concerns, whatever they may be.
"I would like to encourage readers and viewers to contact the stations (KJHK and KUJH) to let them know what they would like to see." Freed said. "That's where we're lacking. We don't know exactly what students want."

This enrollment system is not fair at all. It is far from American style. It's even against American justice.
LETTERST TO THE EDITOR
Dear editor,
Since I'm a transfer and pre-business student, the classes I can take now are limited. Now I am enrolled in only 10 credit hours. I have to enroll in more than 12 to be full-time student, otherwise I will lose my status as an international student and will have to leave this country. I don't want to change schools because the University's school of business is really good. However, if KU did not give me even a chance to study because of my ID number, I would have no option. I just want to know how many students agree with me, or is this just my selfishness.
Sorry about my complaining.
Masafumi Nagata OBJECTIVISM AS PIG LATIN...
dear editor,
Good Lord, another "Objectivist"
inspired Rachelle Cathoun editorial
("Only haters know how to love," Nov.
16). It's funny how a philosophy so
Dear editor.
engrossed in verbal argument can say so little. Allow me to summarize her tedious article. 1. I am smarter than you. 2. Good hate is good. 3. Hate is bad only when you haven't read Attas Shrugged. Notice if you have a problem with that you are either demonstratively stupid or a Communist. For being such an individualist, Rachelle certainly has staked her identity on a couple of washed up writers! Her "Objectivist Philosophy" is empty, circular and was dead before Ms. Cathoun was born. Objectivism is to Philosophy as Pig Latin is to Language; fun for a while, then pubescent and boring.

Agreement: Revenue-sharing offers unequal rewards

money it collects from TV networks to conference schools based on each school's number of TV appearances in the form of television-appearance fees. Last year, the fees were $154,960 and $198,667 for each appearance on Fox and ABC, respectively.

Total athletics budget Total television revenue Money for appearing on TV
About $400.000
The other half of the conference's TV money is distributed equally among all Big 12 universities. Those payments, known as participation fees, amounted to $1,241,667 to each school last year. A comparison of appearance fees garnered by Kansas and Texas shows the inequity. Texas had seven televised games last season compared with only two Kansas appearances on Fox or ABC. Texas' appearance-fee intake was slightly more than $2 million, while Kansas took in about one-fifth of that amount, less than $400,000.
The Big 8 had distributed a smaller percentage of its television money based on each team's number of televised conference games.
Texas
$43,952,196
$3,335,667
$2,094,000
Jeff Bollig was the director of the Big 8 Service Bureau. He now works for the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America headquarters in Lawrence.
He said the Big 8 had been more democratic than the Big 12 about splitting up ticket and TV money.
"How Big 12 revenue is distributed is not nearly as equal as the Big 8," he said.
Bollig said that when Big 8 schools divided television revenue, two teams playing in a conference game each received 20 percent of the revenue for that game, while dividing the remaining 60 percent amongst the remaining conference teams. So, whereas 40 percent of Big 8 money was kept by teams playing on television, 50 percent of TV money is kept by those competing before a television audience in the Big 12.
Other conferences split up money more equally
Around the country, other conferences, such as the Big 10 Conference, share TV money equally.
Brad Traviolia, associate commissioner of the Big 10, said Big 10 universities also shared 35 percent of ticket sales for conference games.
"The Big 10 has bought into equal revenue sharing in order to take out the variability each year," Traviolia said. "When conferences base revenue on appearance fees, it becomes a reward for teams who appear more."
Ed Goble, associate athletic director of business at the University of Texas, said TV revenue distribution should reward teams that put on good performances.
Texas' athletics budget will grow to more than $53 million dollars this year with an increase in TV appearances to eight, he said.
"Merit should be taken into account for actually being on TV. There has to be a benefit for being attractive," Goble said.
Tim Allen, associate director of the Big 12, said the advantage of allowing teams to keep their ticket revenue and be paid fees per television appearance was consistency in each university's budget from year to year. For example, in the Big 8, Kansas could count on additional money in years when the Jayhawks played Nebraska before a packed house in Lincoln, Neb., than when the two teams met in Lawrence, Allen said. Variations in schedules led to fluctuating annual budgets across the conference.
"Other conferences, such as the Big 10, share all revenue equally, but that is not the philosophy of the Big 12." Allen said.

Interim coach Tom Hayes said the likelihood of a small crowd didn't concern him.
"I've got to prepare the team whether the stadium's totally full, half-full or whatever. We've got a job to do and that's what we're going to do." Hayes said.

ABC suffering from poor ratings
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — When a speech by President Bush fell on a crucial television ratings night, NBC decided to stick with its high-flying Friends, and CBS picked Survivor instead of the address.
ABC bumped a show in favor of the president, but no sacrifice was involved. The Nov. 8 speech drew a bigger audience than the network has been getting from Whose Line Is It Anyway? in that time slot.
When a network receives more ratings help from the White House than its programming, it might be a sign that something is wrong.
By just about every measure of success in the 2001-02 season so far, ABC is earning the kind of grades that could get the average kid grounded.
Among the four major broadcast networks, including CBS, NBC and Fox, Walt Disney Co.
Judgment calls, bad luck and a bad case of overdependence on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire have undermined the network, which was No.1 in the 1999-2000 season and No.2 last year.
owned ABC is last in household ratings, according to Nielsen Media Research figures for the new season's first seven weeks.
"To date, ABC has very little to be happy about," said Paul Schulman, president of the New York office of Advanswers PHD, a media buying firm.
When the quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was riding high in the ratings in multiple weekly airings, ABC soared with it. But then the show abruptly lost its charm, with painful results. The show was averaging 17 million viewers per episode at this point last year. This year, it's at 10.7 million, a drop of 37 percent, according to Nielsen.
"They had the hottest show on the air and were really cocky about it. They clogged up their prime-time real estate, didn't plan ahead and shot themselves right in the foot," said Marc Berman, a rating analyst with Media Week.
ABC's erosion in the bleak position of having to offer "make goods" to advertisers, the free commercial time due when a show attracts a smaller audience than promised.
"They made the worst programming moves for their established series since fall 1979," contends Berman. That was the year the network shifted Mork & Mindy, Laverne & Shirley and Fantasy Island and, he says, "almost killed them."
This season's returning shows jugged by ABC and suffering in the ratings include Once and Again, Spin City, Dharma & Greg and The Mole II, which has already been pulled from the schedule.
When it comes to new shows, fortune has frowned on ABC and others. The networks have cited the effect of terrorism and its aftermath on viewer willingness to try the unfamiliar.
According to Jim and the returning My Wife and Kids are part of a strategy to attract the younger viewers who once flocked to ABC for sitcoms including Home Improvement and Roseanne.
"We have some really strong comedies, and it's energizing to look and say 'OK, this is where we are, but now let's just embrace it, redefine ourselves, go back to some of our core values of family comedies.'" Bloomberg said.

Raise spirits wear blue to games
Hey, Matt Dwyer, it's great that you and other student senators are trying to get students better seats at Allen Fieldhouse, but the seats aren't the problem.
The students are.
Either they don't know what Kansas' colors are or they're too cool to wear blue.
Only when students stop wearing their Abercrombie yellows, Gap grays, Adidas oranges and thrift-store plaids at basketball games should the Athletics Department even consider giving them seats that surround the court.
Kansas students like to think that they're better than their counterparts at Kansas State and Missouri. Well, maybe we are, but at least the kids at those schools know how to dress for basketball and football games.
Watch a Mizzou basketball game, and you'll see that the students with the best seats at the Hearnes Center wear yellow or black shirts. At K-State football games, the entire student section — and stadium — is mostly purple. And while we're on the topic of football, it'd be nice if you could get the students to wear blue at Memorial Stadium, but you'd have to work on actually getting them there first.
Kansas is the only school in the Big 12 Conference that has blue as one of its colors. It just makes sense to wear blue. Everyone doesn't have to wear the same shirt or go buy a new one. Any blue shirt will do and just about an shade, except baby blue, is fine
Imagine floor-to-ceiling, blue shirts at the north and south ends of the fieldhouse. Talk about a home-court advantage. That's good for at least a few baskets and would surely impress the hotshot basketball recruits at games.
Matt, you're an off-campus Delta Force senator. You know how politics work. It's pretty hard to sell something that's a lie. Part of your argument for giving students better seats is that it would make televised games at the fieldhouse look livelier. When the camera pans across the court to follow the ball, it will show millions of home viewers a raucous group of students instead of gray-haired alumni twiddling their thumbs.
That would be great if that were the case. The truth is, less than 20 percent of the 7,700 students at men's basketball games are the kind of fans that can compare to Duke's Cameron Crazies.
They are the students who camp out for days, and sometimes weeks, before home games. They are "The Phog Fanatics," "Neil's Atomic Fireballs," "Roy's Boys" and nearly a dozen other Jayhawk-basketball-crazed student groups.
If any students deserve to sit court side, it's them. They aren't colorblind. They make signs. They are loyal fans. The coaches know them and so do the players.
The other 6,000 students show up the day of the game and are decent fans, but other than the ones wearing bright yellow colors, they don't stand out.
That's fine. There's nothing wrong with not camping out or missing some home games. Some people like basketball more than others. People have different priorities.
And yours, Matt, should be to get all 7,700 students to wear blue at home games.

BALL STATE 93 - KANSAS 91, 1ST ROUND OF INVITATIONAL
Atropical punch in Maui
Ball State upsets Kansas in first-round action of men's tourney
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
The third second-half cramp proved to be the most costly for No.4 Kansas yesterday.
terday. The Jayhawks fought off Ball State the entire second half while junior forwards Drew Gooden and Nick Collison battled leg cramps, but Kansas couldn't withstand freshman Aaron Miles' ill-timed, last-second cramp.
Ball State's Patrick Jackson drove past Miles, who tripped and fell after suffering cramps in both legs. Jackson scored a layup between two Kansas defenders
with eight-tenths of a second left. Jackson's drive clinched Ball State's 93-91 upset victory against Kansas in the opening round of the Maui Invitational.
Gooden played most of the second half but was bothered by his leg cramps. Collison, though, left the game with 17 minutes left in the second half. He played only two minutes the rest of the way.
tiring like the stamp in the door "Nick's were the worst, Drew's were bad, and then there was Aaron at the end of the game. We haven't played at this temperature, and it was an up-and-down tempo game."
Williams said he had never seen anything like the cramp attacks.
A desperate, full-court heave from Gooden, intended for freshman guard Keith Langford, was knocked away by three Ball State defenders as time expired.
After watching Ball State (1-0) sprint out to a 55-48 halftime lead, Kansas built a six-point lead with two minutes remaining. But Cardinal guard Chris Williams, who finished with 24 points, scored his only points of the second half on a three-pointer to tie the game with 45 seconds to go.
Miles had a wide-open look from the right baseline with 15 seconds left, but the ball slipped out of his hands, and he was called for traveling. The traveling call set the stage for Jackson's dramatic score. Miles was apologetic after the game.
"For me, I turned it over, and in the end my man scored," Miles said. "So it's my fault. That's how I feel about it."
With Gooden and Collison battling cramps and freshman Wayne Simien out because of a knee injury, senior Jeff Carey, normally a role player, played 20 minutes,
and sophomore Bryant Nash fouled out in only eight minutes of action.
However, Gooden managed to post a career-high 31 points and 10 rebounds while Collison scored 15 points. Junior guard Kirk Hinrich added 14 points and six assists. Ball State made two fewer field goals than Kansas yesterday, but the Cardinals burned the Jayhawks from the outside, making 13 of 30 from three-point range.
Once hoping for a shot at a title-game match-up with Duke, Kansas now must settle for a loser's bracket game at 3 p.m. today against the loser of last night's Houston/UCLA game.

Big 12 hurts Kansas' athletics budget
Contact Malashock at 864-4858
By Aaron Johnson Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas football team is wrapping up a season in which it endured punishing losses in packed stadiums at Colorado, Kansas State and Texas. Meanwhile, the Athletics Department budget continues to suffer because of a 1995 revenue-sharing agreement
Before the agreement, when Kansas belonged to the Big 8 Conference, schools in the conference poured all ticket money from conference games into a pool that was divided equally by all eight schools. That meant that when Kansas played before big crowds in road games, the department received a share of the ticket revenue from those games.
The formation of the Big 12 Conference in 1995 brought four Texas schools together with the former Big 8 schools and marked a major change in the way those schools shared football ticket and television money.
Agreement benefits successful teams
Under the Big 12's agreement, schools keep the ticket money collected at their stadiums instead of sharing it with visiting opponents. The arrangement rewards schools with football teams that have high home-game attendance and large television audiences nearby, while schools including Kansas have had to cut programs to stay afloat.
Bob Frederick, former Kansas athletics director, said the Big 12's revenue-distribution formula had been a
major factor in creating budget constraints that left him with the task of eliminating two athletic programs last spring. In March, Frederick announced that the department would cut the Kansas men's swimming and tennis teams. He stepped down as athletics director in July and is now a professor in the School of Education.
"I think that if we had equal television revenue distribution like the Big 10, then we definitely would not have been in the situation last spring to drop the two athletic programs," said Frederick, who was a member of the committee that wrote the new settlement. "Teams were supposed to be rewarded if you were good or played strong teams, but it doesn't work out that way."
How conferences share TV revenue
"The Big 12 settlement has benefited the Texas schools as well as Colorado, Nebraska and Oklahoma," Frederick said. "The increase in base appearance and participation fees has been distributed as a function of the television sets in a school's area, which has hurt schools such as Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State."
Big 8 (ended in 1995)
Since the Big 12 was formed, Iowa State has also cut its men's swimming program because of budget constraints.
How the Big 12 divides up TV money
In the absence of ticket-revenue sharing, the distribution of television money has become more important to struggling athletics departments.

Jayhawk women search for right hoops combo
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
With a cluster of games quickly approaching, Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington is continuing to experiment with the combination of players, her starting lineup. The team's starters in tonight's game at Creighton (0-1) are still a mystery.
Senior guards K.C. Hilgenkamp and Selena Scott are the only staples in Kansas' starting five with a host of Jayhawks competing for the remaining three positions. Senior centers Nikki White and Kristin Geoffroy will share time this season as both continue to improve. Sophomores Keila Beachem and Sharonne Spencer will compete against freshman Blair Waltz to fill the Jayhawks' power forward slot.
Washington said the four position had always been an area of question and was still up in the air.
"We have been working Sharonne and Keila there but have started working Blair there, too," she said.
Waltz said she was up for competing for her spot during the season.
"I know that if I play the four spot, I have to play a different role on the team than if I play the guard spot, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win," Waltz said.
Kansas (1-0) leads the all-time series with Creighton, 14-9 , but the Jayhawks have not defeated the Blue Jays since 1998, losing 76-54 last season. Washington said she expected to see a lot of shots behind the arc and hoped her team can stop Creighton defensively.
defensively.
"Our coverage on the wings will have to be wide and keep a hand up because they will definitely put up the threes," Washington said. "They've lost a lot of players, and so both of our teams will be relatively young. It will be really interesting to see how we fare, but I'm very optimistic."

Little significance placed on final football game
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
Senior safety Brandon Wier remembers the low point of his football career at Kansas.
KC
Wier was a redshirt freshman in 1998 when the Jayhawks, 6-3 at the time, played host to North Texas in
a nonconference game in November that held no bowl implications.
"Put 10,000 people in the stands, spread them out, drop the temperature to about 20 degrees and somehow make it rain at the same time, and you have the setting for that game." Wier said of the Jayhawks' 23-14 win before an announced crowd of 20,000. "Everything was cold and wet, and the whole stadium seemed to gather underneath the press box. There wasn't much of an atmosphere."
The North Texas game was the first
The game was initially slated to be played on Fox Sports television on Sept. 15. It was rescheduled when all college games were postponed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. At the time, both teams were 1-1 and still playing with the optimistic hopes of a successful season.
time the Jayhawks had played a nonconference game past the first week of October since 1962. The second time will be this Saturday, when a struggling Wyoming team (2-8 overall, 0-7 in the Mountain West Conference) will come to Lawrence and face the struggling Jayhawks (2-8 overall, 1-7 in the Big 12 Conference).
Now, with the Cowboys in the midst of an eight-game losing streak and the Jayhawks riding a six-game skid of their own, the game has little significance. Like the game against North Texas, the lack of importance will likely be reflected by a small crowd.
Several students, including Kent Doege, Monroe, Wis., junior, said they wouldn't spend the money or the time to watch Saturday's game.

Investigators arrest woman in connection to slain student
Death of Shannon Martin in Costa Rica last May leads to 27-year-old woman's arrest
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Investigators made the first arrest in the Shannon Martin murder case last week, and have suggested more may follow.
Costa Rican police on Tuesday arrested a 27-year-old female suspected of involvement in the murder of Martin, a senior at the University of Kansas stabbed last May while studying abroad in Golfito, Costa Rica.

Martin's mother, Jeanette Stauffer, said that FBI agents and operatives from the Costa Rican Organization of Judicial Investigation told her on Nov. 14 to expect an arrest within the week.
"They've also told me there are others involved," Stauffer said.
Stauffer said she contacted the FBI office in Miami on Nov. 14 to check on the investigation's progress, and that the special agent working the case indicated the arrest would be imminent. The organization confirmed the arrest in an e-mail later that day.
"I really believe that justice will be served by the Costa Rican justice system," Stauffer said. "I hope there is enough circumstantial evidence to convict. They didn't have a lot of physical evidence."
Stauffer said she was confident that the female suspect, identified only as Cruz, would be treated fairly by the law.
A Costa Rican judge ruled that Cruz must serve the next six months in prison while the murder investigation proceeds.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the University greeted news of the arrest as a promising development.
"We hope all those responsible will be arrested and brought to justice," Hemenway said.
He lobbied U.S. senators and the state government to give the Martin case appropriate attention.
"Anytime a University student is harmed or, in this case, killed we want to do everything we can to help the victim's family." Hemeway said, and make sure the killers are brought to justice."
An endangered science
KU systematists work to sustain a field of study in danger of becoming extinct as fast as the creatures they gather

Story by Eve Lamborn
Robert Brooks has been attacked in his sleep by vampire bats, shaken tarantulas from his boots and eaten nothing but rice for a month. He spends weeks every year hacking his way with a machete through jungles, collecting insects for KU's entomology museum in Snow Hall.
Insect specimens pictured are from the KU entomology collection in Snow Hall.
To find these bugs, he looks under fungus, pulls chunks of bark off trees, uses nets, sifts through leaves and even pulls clumps of insects off trees like grapes.
insects or bird nests.
The KU entomology collection manager has found a rhinoceros beetle the size of a clenched fist, a meat-eating red grasshopper that spans an open palm, giant walking sticks and butterflies with transparent wings that are nearly invisible
when they fly close to the ground.
"It's hard to find any species, where we go, that has a name on it," Brooks said.
Each of the 7 million specimens collected by Brooks and others for KU's Natural History Museum
and Biodiversity Research Center
has a story behind it. These specimens record the mind-boggling variety of life on Earth, so diverse and intricate that humans have yet to discover more than a small fraction of it.
Systematists make it their life's work to chip away at the mountain of unknown species by collecting them for museums and classifying them, which is known as taxonomy. The scientists then try to decipher the evolutionary relationships of these species. While the cutting of forests has accelerated extinctions, the number of systematists has dwindled in recent years.
Bucking that trend is KU's systematics program, backed by one of the country's largest university museum collections. Graduate students from around the world come here to learn from KU scientists, who are gathering still more speci-
DISAPPEARING ECOSYSTEMS
Leonard Kristishtalka, who has an Einsteinian shock of dark gray hair and a mustache to match, oversees the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center at KU. He said the Earth suffered from a biodiversity crisis because of the loss of its animals and plants.
Some scientists have estimated that 1,000 species of animals and plants slip into extinction each day, and many of these have yet to be discovered, he said. Scientists know of fewer than 2 million species of animals and plants on the Earth, leaving anywhere from 10 million to 50 million yet unknown.

David Levine, Howell, N.J., freshman, said designating all residence halls non-smoking was a good idea because the halls smelled bad.
Levine said that because he lived on a smoking floor in McCollum Hall, he would often smell smoke in the hallway and, at times, his allergies would be affected by it.
"Smoking issues are the largest single-category complaints," he said.
"I think it would be a nice change here," he said.
"They could go downstairs and smoke," he said of smokers.
On the other hand, Ryan Harmon, Beloit freshman, said he didn't want all of the residence halls smoke-free, even though he is a non-smoker. He also lives on a smoking floor in McCollum, and he said unless people smoked in the hallway, he wasn't affected by the smoke.
"If they keep their windows open, it all flirts out," he said.
There are nine schools in the Big 12 that have switched their residence halls to non-smoking buildings. Stoner said that because of the increase in non-smoking residence halls, the possibility of all KU halls

University halts talks on contract with GTAs
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
The coalition will meet with University officials on Wednesday, Dec. 3. According to rules for contract talks, the two sides have to meet to make a decision on the status of the negotiations. That meeting will give the coalition a chance to respond to the University's move.
The Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition wants to continue negotiating a new contract despite the University of Kansas' decision to declare that talks have reached an impasse.
GTAs will remain under their current contract until the new contract is agreed upon.
Last Monday, the University issued a press release stating that it was requesting that the Public Employees Review Board of the state of Kansas mediate the contract negotiations.
According to the release, the University wants an impasse declared because of "irreconcilable differences" between the parties. The release said the University chose mediation because the coalition had stated publicly that its members "aren't willing to settle."
Amy Cummins, coalition president and Lawrence graduate teaching assistant, said she was disturbed by the University's request because it would extend the process of coming to terms on a new three-year contract.
"We don't see what can be gained by halting negotiations," Cummins said. "It stops discussions of how to improve learning opportunities for students and the working conditions for teachers. GTAs are confused. They don't understand at the administration is after."
Another reason that the University cited for the impasse was the coalition's request for an increase in the minimum base salary proposal. The University says that would require a $3 million increase to the University budget during the next three years.
three years Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said the coalition's demands for a salary increase could not be met, partly in part because of a shortfall in the state budget.
"It's far beyond what we can afford," she said. "Kansas is undergoing an economic downturn."
However, Cummins said the University was playing word games, and that wasn't a good excuse for halting negotiations.
Bretz also said mediation was the best solution because both the University and GTAs could focus on teaching students.
Cummins also questioned the University's decision to request an impasse the week of Thanksgiving break.
"They deliberately made it harder for GTAs to make decisions and decide what to do," she said. "The tension will simply increase. I thought things were going slowly but that we were getting somewhere."
Bretz said going to mediation was the best way to resolve the contract dispute. "We're bargaining in good faith," she said.
The University and the coalition have been negotiating GTAs' salaries, health benefits and tuition waivers for more than a year in preparation for a new contract.

Scientists announce cloning of first early human embryo
The Associated Press
cells of parents The scientists at Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Mass., said they had no immediate interest in transplanting such early embryos into a woman's womb to give birth to a cloned human being.
BOSTON — A group of scientists in Massachusetts claimed yesterday they had cloned the first early human embryo, a step toward providing genetically matched replacement cells for patients with a wide range of disease<sup>68</sup>.
Several states, including California, have banned human cloning. Congress is considering such a ban.
"These are exciting preliminary results," said Dr. Robert P. Lanza, one of the researchers at Advanced Cell Technology "This work sets the stage for human therapeutic cloning as a potentially limitless source of immune-compatible cells for tissue engineering and transplantation medicine."
In a separate experiment, the scientists showed they could push the development of human egg cells even further with a technique known as parthenogenesis.
The scientists said they created the early embryo by injecting a very small cell with its genetic material into a woman's donated egg.
Neither experiment has yet produced the coveted stem cells that grow inside an embryo and differentiate into other body tissues.
"These are exciting preliminary results"
Robert Lanza
Advanced Cell Technology researcher
The researchers described the work as an important step toward producing these stem cells to generate replacement cells as treatments for diabetes, heart disease, spinal injuries and many other ailments.
injuries and many other problems.
Asked about the research on Fox News Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said while he only had sketchy details, he was worried about reproductive cloning.
Anti-abortion religious groups immediately spoke out against the procedure.
"We're moving toward artificially creating human embryos solely to mine them for spare parts — solely to destroy them for their cells," said Richard Doerflinger, deputy director of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities.
But Michael West, ACT's CEO, speaking on Meet the Press, disagreed with that interpretation.
"We're not talking about little embryos with hands and feet. We're talking about a cluster of cells, small, far smaller than the head of a pen, with no body cells of any kind," he said.
Taliban stronghold of Kunduz falls
The Associated Press
BANGI, Afghanistan — The northern alliance claimed to have seized the Taliban's last northern stronghold yesterday after a two-week siege, and hundreds of foreign fighters who had been captured in the area died in a chaotic prison uprising put down in part by U.S. airstrikes.
The fall of Kunduz, which came two days before talks are to begin in Germany on forming a broad-based government, leaves the Islamic militia with only a small slice of Afghanistan still under its control, mostly around the southern city of Kandahar.
Thousands of Taliban troops as well as Arab, Chechen, Pakistani and other foreign fighters linked to Osama bin Laden had been holed up in Kunduz, which the alliance said fell almost without a fight.
"All of Kunduz is in our control," commander Daoud Khan told The Associated Press after nightfall.
Outside the city of Mazar-e-Sharif, 100 miles to the west, hundreds of foreigners who had been captured earlier in the Kunduz area staged a prison uprising, leading to a daylong battle with northern alliance guards. U.S. aircraft helped quash the insurrection.
Hundreds of foreign Taliban prisoners were killed. U.S. and alliance officials said.
Culler suggested the uprising was in effect a suicide mission. At least one foreign fighter had killed himself Saturday while surrendering, witnesses said.
The fighters had smuggled weapons under their tunics into the Qalai Janghi fortress and tried to fight their way out, Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Dan Stoneking said.
Yahsaw, a spokesman for northern alliance commander Mohammed Mohaqik, said the prisoners broke down doors, seized weapons and ammunition, and fought a pitched battle with guards that lasted some seven hours.

MADISON, Miss. — David Dykes found his wedding ring in a pile of debris in his neighbor's yard yesterday as he and other residents searched for their belongings amid the destruction caused by a killer tornado.
Storm system kills 13, injures more than 100 in three states
"There's been some spoofing between all of us that we've got 72 hours to clean up each other's properties before we start charging storage fees," Dykes said.
"Yesterday was pretty emotional. Today you've got to see the humor in it," he said. "The fact of the matter is, if we'd been home we'd be dead."
A tornado with wind estimated at 200 mph tore through his neighborhood Saturday, part of a system of thunderstorms and tornadoes that killed five people and injured 112 in Mississippi. The same big storm system was blamed for four deaths each in Alabama and Arkansas.
Madison County Sheriff Troy Trowbridge said lives were saved by a tornado siren just a mile from Dykes' upper-middle class neighborhood and by the Thanksgiving weekend.
Dykes and his wife, Pat, were among those who were away when the storm struck. They rushed back from a visit to Alabama after a friend called them with the news.
Mississippi Gov. Ronnie Musgrove declared a state of emergency in nine counties.
"All responded immediately in a sense of helpfulness and hope for their neighbors," Musgrove said. "That's the Mississippi that I know and am proud of."
High school students arrested in alleged plot to kill classmates
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — Police used bomb-sniffing dogs yesterday to search a high school where three teen-agers allegedly planned to use explosives and guns to kill fellow students.
dents. The all-day search of the sprawling 3,300-student New Bedford High School by 38 police officers and five bomb-sniffing dogs yielded no new evidence of the alleged plot, said police Lt. Richard Spirret.
Eric McKeehan, 17, and two juveniles who allegedly modeled themselves after the two students who carried out the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado were scheduled for arraignment today on charges that include conspiracy to murder.
The students were arrested at their homes early Saturday after a school janitor found a letter outlining their alleged plans to detonate explosives in the school and then shoot fleeing students.
Saturday's arrests came after an investigation that began when a student alerted police to the alleged plot in mid-October. Police questioned one of the suspects after they discovered bomb-making materials.
But the bomb lacked key elements that would arm it, so police could not make an arrest, according to New Bedford Police Chief Arthur Kelly.
Police decided to take action after finding the letter. The letter didn't say when the killings would happen, except that it would happen on a Monday.

Native American dances appeal to eyes, spirit
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Dancing is more than a weekend activity for the members of the Kiowa Cultural Club. It's a way of showing individuality and remembering ancestors while connecting with members of different cultures.
As a part of First Nations People's Heritage Month, the club performed Native American cultural dances and songs Tuesday night for a group of about 20 people in the Kansas Union. The Multicultural Resource Center, First Nations Students Association, Office of Multicultural Affairs and Student Senate sponsored the performance.
Club members performed varied dances. One featured three dancers, each wearing different, colorful costumes, dancing together for a couple of numbers before performing individually. The dancers showed off their unique moves while a singer
sang and kept time on a drum.
A Grass dance was part of another routine. Performer Chris Whitewolf, Haskell student, said the dance represented the older generation. Whitewolf's costume included strands of white yarn representing grass swaying in the wind.
Although the costumes were an important part of the performance, group members like Cully say the dances were pleasing to the eye — and the spirit.
Lance Cully, a singer in the group, said the dancers' costumes, which could cost more than $1,000 to make, were either made individually or inherited.
"The songs come from a long time ago," Cully said. "It's like a healing."
Jay Mule, one of the dancers, said he started dancing when he was young.
"I've been introduced to different cultures all my life. I was kind of absorbed into that type of atmosphere."
"I was surrounded by different tribes," Mule said. "I've been introduced to different cultures all my life. I was kind of absorbed

into that type of atmosphere."
Brady Tapedo, the club's sponsor, said the group had about 20 members. He said about 12 of those members performed.
Theresa Milk, Wanblee, S.D. graduate student, said the event was important because it introduced others to the Native American culture.

City considering changes to Union Station
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Leaders of Union Station are proposing changes outside the structure in an effort to bring more people into the struggling landmark.
All the proposals are preliminary and face several obstacles. They are based on the theory that having more people living, working and driving around Union Station would increase traffic at the station.
The ideas include building a link with other downtown activity centers; adding an elevated walkway to the west end of the station and a traffic circle at a nearby interstate exit; using part of a nearby park for new housing and increasing office space at the U.S. post office in the neighborhood.
Union Station leaders have shown the ideas to community leaders ranging from Mayor Kay Barnes to Hallmark executives but there are no written plans or cost estimates.
Ultimately, Union Station leaders hope to convince the public and private sectors to raise tens of millions of dollars for the station's operating endowment. Station leaders also want to be part of a city sales tax election.
"I ask myself, 'How does a university get its endowment up?' "said Turner White, Union Station's chief executive. "It gets there by having a program of work that people believe in."
So far, city officials have made no commitments, especially in light of other projects that need city money, such as the police department and expanding Bartle Hall.
"My initial reaction was, 'Interesting,' " said Vicki Noteis, the city's development director. "I know Union Station has been working on plans to make Union Station healthy, and this
goes far beyond that."
Union Station reopened two years ago after a renovation, which was partly financed with the nation's first bistate cultural sales tax. The new complex, controlled by a nonprofit corporation, houses Science City, three theaters, two restaurants and several small shops.
Attendance at Science City and its theaters has never approached projections, resulting in multimillion-dollar operating losses beyond what the station's endowment could cover. Local foundations have covered the extra losses, but foundation officials have indicated that they will not keep doing that.
So station leaders have brought in more exhibitions, and have begun renovations and changes at Science City.
fall. Station leaders also want city officials to consider a city-only sales tax election to beef up the endowment from $28 million to at least $100 million.
They also have lobbied to be included in the next bistate cultural tax, expected to go before voters next
Many of the area's activity centers - Union Station, 18th and Vine, the Kemper complex, the Freight House District and the future Performing Arts Center -- are too spread out to reach easily by walking.
The process of making the connections, however, faces several obstacles, including politics, land acquisition and money.
Conceptually, these are good ideas," said Notes. "We have to concentrate on keeping our investments as closely connected as possible."
Nevertheless, the new urban planning ideas fit with several of the city's own planning goals, from better connections between attractions to a more livable downtown.
Senate to vote on new center for housing concerns

Major steps could be taken toward establishing the Off-Campus Student Services Resource Center during the final full Student Senate meeting of the semester.

Senate will vote on the bill that asks for $17,000 for the creation of the center on Wednesday.
Center would be focus near the Senate and Organizations & Leadership offices, according to the proposal.

vide instruction on types of housing available to students in Lawrence and advising for students who have off-campus housing problems.
The Finance and University Affairs committees both voted in favor of the bill, which then sent it to the full Senate for a final vote.
Michael Roessler, graduate senator, said that there could be some minor changes to the bill, but he expected Senate to pass it.
There has been confusion among some senators as to which party has been more involved with the work of launching the center — Delta Force orVOICE.
Branden Bell, holdover senator, said that VOICE submitted the original proposal to start the center, but it didn't get the money from the reserve account task force at the time.
He said that it didn't surprise him that the proposal received approval for the money from the committees, since Delta Force adopted the issue and the coalition is the majority in Senate
Butler said that both Delta Force and VOICE should take credit for the center.
"I think just about everyone wants to do it," Butler said.

possibly within 10 days. The good news is that suppliers of natural and propane gas say they have plentiful supplies this year and consumers should not suffer the high prices they faced last winter.
A front moving into Kansas from the northwest should drop temperatures into the mid-20s early Tuesday and Wednesday, said Mike Akulow, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topeka. High temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid-40s.
"If this pattern persists, then I think we could see our first snow in 10 days," Akulow said.
It's difficult to predict what to expect for the entire winter, Akulow said.
"It will be colder than normal in the central plains down to southern Iowa," he said. "That cold air could sink just a little bit farther."
Temperatures through much of November have been from 10 to 15 degrees above normal, the weather service said, and that has helped the nation's supply of propane and natural gas remain well-stocked.
"We don't expect the big price spikes of last year," said Justin Holstin, executive vice president of the Propane Marketers Association of

The National Energy Information Center expects Midwest propane prices to average $1.13 per gallon for the winter. The average expenditure per household is predicted to be $1,013.
The average price of natural gas for 2001-2002 in the Midwest is expected to be $6.69 per thousand cubic feet, according to the information center. It said the actual average price last winter was $9.49 per thousand cubic feet.
Intra-party strife besets Republicans
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—The two great political camps appear to have selected their candidates for most statewide offices, the races allowing voters to choose between different views of government.
It just so happens that all of the candidates are Republicans running in August primaries.
In three statewide races - governor, attorney general and insurance commissioner - a conservative candidate faces one considered moderate.
A similar split is evident among potential candidates for state treasurer, though the race is more crowded. Only the secretary of state's race seems likely to avoid having a contested GOP primary.
"I don't know if there's been an intentional effort to have a state of moderates and conservatives," said state GOP Chairman Mark Parkinson. "It's unfortunate, but that's the way things seem to be developing."
During the mid-1950s, Gov. Fred Hall described himself as a disciple of President Eisenhower and advocated
The conflict within the Republican Party has existed for decades.
During the 1970s, Senate President Richard Rogers derided the "cavemen" of the Republican Party. They responded with a bumper sticker for Bob Dole's Senate re-election campaign in 1974 that proclaimed pride in being "Cavemen for Dole."
In 1994, while Bill Graves, who considers himself a moderate, coasted to an easy victory in the governor's race, David Miller engineered the conservative takeover of the party organization that made Miller state chairman.
What makes the dispute intense this year is the number of open statewide races.
policy that angered more conservative legislators.
In the Republican attorney general's race, Sen. David Adkins, of Leawood, is the moderate, though some conservatives describe him as liberal. His opponent is former state Rep. Phill Kline, of Shawnee, once dismissed by prominent moderates as the "poster boy for the religious right." Both dispute the more critical descriptions of them.
The race for the GOP nomination for insurance commissioner is between Sen. Sandy Praeger, of Lawrence, and Bryan Riley, of
Wichita. Praeger is a moderate who, like Adkins, is sometimes tagged as a liberal. Riley, 1998 nominee, hasn't been identified with the conservative wing, but his free-market rhetoric indicates a fit.
The Republican state treasurer's contest pits Sen. Lynn Jenkins, a Topeka moderate, against Shawnee County Treasurer Rita Cite, a conservative. Johnson County Treasurer Dennis Wilson, a Shallenburger ally, also could get in the race.
Watching the conflict are Democrats, who hope Republicans remain angry and divided after the Aug. 6 primaries. Because of the GOP's historical dominance, Democrats often don't win statewide offices without GOP conflict or an unpopular Republican incumbent.

Olathe senator recall drive misdirected
About two months ago, Kansas state senator Kay O'Connor, R-Olathe, made some comments about women's sufferage that her constituents disagreeed with. Because of her comments, middle school teacher Ronda Hassig is spearheading an effort to recall O'Connor from office on grounds of incompetence.
tence.
Even though it is admirable that Hassig is following the legal process of recalling an elected official, it would be better to let voters mark their displeasure on their ballots.
The statements that Hassig and many others have taken offence with were O'Connor's personal views of women's suffrage. O'Connor told the Johnson County League of Women's Voters that the anniversary of the 19th Amendment was not worth celebrating. She also said that if it were presented today, she would not support the 19th Amendment. She said women did not need the right to vote if men took care of them and that women's suffrage was a sign that men were not taking care of women.
O'Connor has claimed that her statements were misquoted or misunderstood. She tried to deny making the comments, but they were confirmed by others who were present. O'Connor's term is over in 2004 and she says she does not intend to resign.
Hassig, a middle school teacher from Lenexa, has filed an application to recall O'Connor from office with the Office of the Secretary of State in Topeka. To get a petition to recall O'Connor, Hassig has to get the support of resident electors equal in number to ten percent of the votes cast in the election that put O'Connor in office. After getting the petition, Hassig will have to get the support of resident electors equal in number to 40 percent of the votes cast in the election that put O'Connor in office to put her recall up for a vote.
However, if the voter turnout for O'Connor's recall is anything like the turnout for the primary that made her the Republican candidate for her district, the numbers may show that voters just don't care. Of the 40,098 Republicans and independents that were eligible to vote in the primary, only 8,646 voters turned out. O'Connor won the primary by 252 votes and went on to defeat the Democratic candidate in the historically Republican district.
If Hassig and other constituents of O'Connor's want to make a difference in their representation, they should switch tactics. Instead of going through the lengthy process of the recall, the constituents can make O'Connor aware that they are not happy with the way she has been represented her district and that they are not happy with the views that she expressed on the job.
Donovan Atkinson for the editorial board.
Upset constituents could spend their time better working to keep O'Connor from being re-elected rather than trying to take her out of office.

Red, white and ... green? America peddles patriotism
NYFD — those were the letters on the Coke man's hat. New York Fire Department.
Since Sept. 11 I have seen more and more references to New York, its people and the tragedies that ended so many lives. Initially, I was warmed. What seemed to be genuine sympathy poured forth from the hearts of everyday people — hearts I had long been tempted to judge cynically as shriveled and hollow.
The willingness to give time, money and energy to help victims under the rubble and the emotional burden created by the events was astounding. Our student body exemplified this spirit by raising more than $20,000 so quickly.
But I underestimated that old lecher Capitalism, who's always looking for another opportunity to make a buck for himself. The letters on the Coke man's cap started me thinking. What started as a badge of honor for the valorous women and men of New York's Fire Department had been turned into a commodity, an opportunity for profit.
And since then my irritation has only grown. Traveling during fall

break, my wife and I saw lodging place after lodging place, and nearly all had a message like "God Bless the USA" on their lighted signs. Apparently a tinge of jingooism was expected along with continental breakfast and cable in every room.
Radio commercials featured "moments of silence," after which the compassionate-sounding narrator informed listeners that Name-Brand store had a special sale going on for all one's home-decorating needs. Car dealers are telling us to buy a car—not for self-indulgent reasons, but to "help stimulate the economy." Apparently, getting some new wheels is an act of patriotism.
The war (there is no war) has not helped tasks. From news desks, editorial pages and pulpits, the word has gone forth. God is on our side. Apparently, the Supreme Being likes to see innocent people die — as long as they're not American, of course. Put as bluntly as I've said it, such ideas sound almost blasphemous. But don't tell me; I'm just clarifying what others are obscuring.
In our bustle to commemorate the victims by buying flags for our vehicles, pins for our shirts and flag-waving art for our walls, I think we're forgetting something. We're forgetting that the occasion for all this was horrific death and destruction.
I hope we remember the victims by something other than long receipts, patriotic attire and damnable profiteering. I hope we hold on to the grief we felt and saw, the realization that life is short and precious. I hope that we keep at least a little part of ourselves tender and human and that we keep our pocketbooks in our pockets and not our hearts. I hope.
But I fear.

PERSPECTIVE
Meatless diets are healthy and fair
As demonstrated by a recent column in the Kansan, veganism and vegetarianism, as well as animal rights in general, are still much maligned and misunderstood.
The most common criticism of meat-free diets is that they are not nutritious. This criticism stems from the belief that by denying themselves meat and dairy products, vegans and vegetarians do not get enough protein. However, despite meat and dairy industry claims, only 2.5 to 10 percent of the daily calorie intake of the average human needs to be in the form of protein.
Given this requirement, vegans and vegetarians have no trouble getting adequate amounts of protein. Soy foods, for example, contain all eight of the essential amino acids and are high in protein. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences has even weighed in on the issue, calling the health and nutritional status of strict vegetarians world wide "excellent."
Vegan and vegetarian diets are also healthier than meat-based ones. The average American meat-eater will consume more than three times the required amount of protein daily. Excess consumption of meat can causes calcium depletion that results in osteoporosis.
Meat-based diets also drastically increase the risk of heart disease. The average meat-eating male has about a 50 percent chance of dying of heart disease. Vegan males, on the other hand, have about a 4 percent chance of dying from heart disease.
Sean Whittier

Commentary
Another objection to meatless diets is that humans are at the top of the food
chain and should eat other animals. But humans, because of our technological and agricultural skills, don't fit into the typical biological food chain. We are capable of killing and eating other animals, but this is not because of our physiology but to our ability to develop and use tools.
To determine where humans would fit in the traditional food chain, we should look at what we are capable of eating with our bare hands and without the use of tools. We would quickly find is that humans do not function well as carnivores. We are physically weak and slow when compared to other carnivorous animals. If we were fortunate enough to catch another animal, we would find ourselves ill-equipped to kill and eat it.
There are many people who think it is not cruel to eat, exploit or experiment on animals, provided that it benefits humanity. The rationale given for this is that animals are far less intelligent than humans and lack complex emotions.
From a biological and physiological viewpoint, humans are not carnivores by nature and instead fall into the herbivore/insectivore category of the food chain.
If degree of intelligence and emotion is the criteria for deciding who has the
right to live free of cruelty and suffering, not only should animals be lined up for slaughter, but so should small children and people with severe developmental disorders. Chimpanzees are often more intelligent, aware and communicative than toddlers and the mentally handicapped.
Yet, I am confident that no one who supports eating meat or vivisection would also support eating human infants or letting cowboys ride people with Down syndrome. It is obvious that intellect and level of emotion are not the true reasons why cruelty to animals is condoned.
What is the true justification for the mass killing and exploitation of other animal species? What remains is the cold, hard fact that animals are drastically different from humans, both physiologically and behaviorally. They look and act nothing like us. These drastic differences have created a chasm between humans and animals that many people use to justify overwhelming cruelty and abuse.
If you are truly affected by the unnecessary pain and suffering in the world, you must also be concerned with the suffering of animals. The issue is not whether animals have feelings or emotions, but whether they suffer. A brief tour of any slaughterhouse, factory farm or animal testing laboratory leaves no doubt that they do.
Veganism and vegetarianism are not irrational. They are health and logically consistent ways to support animal rights and to reduce the overall amount of unnecessary suffering in the world.

WAR ON TERRORISM
Growth, tax cuts center of Senate disputes
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With Congress returning this week, top Bush administration officials prodded the Democrat-controlled Senate yesterday to act on a stimulus proposal, and defended the president's emphasis on corporate tax cuts as a cure for the limping economy.
The Senate's top Democrat said he was troubled by the idea of corporate tax cuts at a time when companies are laying off workers.
"They're letting people off in numbers that we've got to be concerned about," Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said on Fox News Sunday.
But White House economic adviser Larry Lindsey said: "We have to start creating paychecks instead of unemployment checks." He warned anew that President Bush will veto spending proposals he views as excessive.
"What we have to do is target tax relief to the sectors of the economy that need it most, that can use it most, put more money in consumers' pockets and avoid this excessive spending binge that some people in the Senate seem to be on," Lindsey said.
sart.
Bush and Democrats generally agree on the need to extend unemployment benefits, issue a new batch of tax rebate checks and accelerate depreciation tax write-offs for businesses. But Democrats have balked at the White House's call to accelerate the income tax rate cuts approved earlier this year and repeal the corporate alternative minimum tax.
The depreciation and corporate alternative minimum tax measures would provide 300,000 new jobs, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said yesterday.
Lindsey said the stimulus package "should not be about the partisan division."
The GOP-controlled House has approved a $100 billion stimulus package weighted heavily in favor of tax relief.
Tribal forces seize a part of Taliban supply route
Aided by U.S. warplanes, the fighters pushed back a Taliban force Saturday afternoon and seized part of the road between Kandahar and Spinboldak, on the border with Pakistan, said a leader, Abdul Jabbar.
The Associated Press
There were conflicting reports of the number of dead, with one tribal official saying as many as 80 Taliban died.
CHAMAN, Pakistan — Anti-Taliban tribal fighters in southern Afghanistan cut a key road leading to the Islamic militia's stronghold of Kandahar and were approaching the city, tribal leaders said yesterday.
Jabbar said tribal forces yesterday night seized Tarkoter, an area three miles from Kandahar's airport. Taliban fighters
briefly resisted before fleeing, he said.
The reports could not be independently confirmed because the Taliban have not allowed journalists to travel to Kandahar, their last major refuge after retreats from the capital, Kabul, and other big cities.
If true, the attack by tribal fighters would be one of their boldest since ethnic Pashtun leaders launched efforts weeks ago to persuade remaining Taliban commanders to surrender. It would also signal further erosion of Taliban power in the last areas under their control.
The 70-mile road from Spinboldak to Kandahar had served as a Taliban supply route and is a key route for traders from Pakistan.
Many residents have fled Kandahar, which has come under fierce bombardment since President Bush launched a military campaign Oct. 7 against the Taliban and bin Laden, chief suspect in the September terrorist attacks in the United States.
In Quetta yesterday, dozens of Pashtun tribal chiefs from Afghanistan said at a meeting that they would send a delegation to the Taliban to urge them to surrender.
Gen Mohammed Zaer Azimi, a Shiite Muslim commander with the alliance in Herat, said clashes were continuing around Helmand yesterday ahead of a major attack on the Taliban stronghold. It was not clear when the offensive was planned.
WASHINGTON — U.S. forces in Afghanistan are commanded from a base in Tampa, Fla., a balmy setting more than 7,700 miles from Kabul.
Forces commanded from Florida
The Central Command, one of nine U.S. military commands covering different parts of the world, evolved from a smaller unit based at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa — partly because of past problems in Afghanistan.
The Associated Press
Lt. Col. Chip Compton, a Central Command spokesman, said moving the command had been discussed. "Historically, it's not been politically feasible," he said. "My guess is that the countries feel uncomfortable having a full-time American presence."
volatile nature of the region makes it tough for the command to move closer to the action, so it has stayed in Florida. The command is responsible for U.S. security interests in 25 nations that stretch from the Horn of Africa through the Arabian Gulf into Central Asia.
Headquarters work primarily focuses on administrative duties, so a command's base may not matter as much in warfare that
The Central Command's leader, Gen. Tommy Franks, is far from isolated from his troops. The highest-ranking U.S. military officer to go inside Afghanistan in the course of the war, he began last week in Uzbekistan, met at Bagram air base near Kabul, the Afghan capital, with top northern alliance officials, then headed for a tour of the Persian Gulf region.
relies on satellites and lasers.
Problems in Afghanistan are partly responsible for the creation of the Central Command.
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the U.S. hostage crisis in Iran led President Carter in 1980 to set up the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force, under the U.S. Readiness Command at MacDill. The task force was designed to respond quickly to crises and project American power across the Middle East and Africa.
In 1983, President Reagan converted it to a full, permanent unified command covering an area twice the size of the continental United States. Encompassing Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Gulf states, former Soviet republics and parts of Africa, it contains vast energy resources as well as key air and sea lines.
The first leader of the Central Command, Gen. Robert Kingston, had to overcome skepticism about the command's ability to run military operations so far from its base. Some of his questioning colleagues were in the European Command, which had a headquarters in Germany and available forces much closer to the region, command historian Jay E. Hines said.
Over the years, the Central Command has managed the Gulf War and Operation Southern Watch, part of the international response to Iraqi noncompliance with a U.N. Security Council resolution passed after the Gulf War. Providing aid to Somalia and Kenya in 1992 also was among its assignments.
"So far Tampa has worked fairly well," said Daniel Goure, an intelligence and defense expert at the Lexington Institute for public policy in Washington. "It becomes a real stretch if we go after Iraq."
If the United States goes after Iraq, some analysts expect the Central Command to move closer to the region, as Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf did when he set up camp in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the Gulf War.

Systematists: Searching land and sea
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
These creatures are critical to maintaining human life, he said.
They clean our soil, they clean our air, they clean our waters from pollutants," Kristhalka said. "They buffer the land against drought and against flood. They protect us from invasions of other species and emerging diseases. They provide our food, our fuel, our fibers and our pharmaceuticals.
"Preserving biodiversity is the same as preserving human life on Earth," he said.
Entomology collection manager Robert Brooks holds a meat-eating grasshopper found near Merida, Venezuela in 1979. The grasshopper was preserved and is now part of KU's insect collection in Snow Hall.
To study biodiversity, scientists collect species for museums and preserve them for future research.
Brooks studies the systematics of bees. He said he had a level of expertise equaled by perhaps only six or seven people in the world.
He travels to three or four countries each year to collect insect specimens. During each expedition, he nets a million insects. Of those, he puts about 50,000 into the entomology museum at the university.
"When they took the forest away, the climate changed," Brooks said. "Now it looks like Utah." And with the change in climate went the ecosystem that supported an array of unknown creatures.
Brooks' voice rises in enthusiasm as he relates tales of his field work. He becomes serious when he tells sobering tales of destroyed forests. He describes a landscape that is brown and parched, the soil cracked and dusty -a one-time rain forest in Madagascar that is now desert. It once received 100 inches of rain each year and now receives only two.
"We tend to go to places where people don't go to normally in order to document what's there before it's gone," he said. "We can't stem the logging, but at least we can find out what's there before it disappears."
Studying insects became a passion for Zachary Falin when he was an undergraduate at Cornell University. The Walton, N.Y., graduate student said that Guyana, a country in South America where he had collected insects, looked like a place right out of National Geographic. To reach his collecting site, he loaded a canoe with gear and traveled upriver for six hours in a tropical torrent.
"It rained so hard you couldn't open your eyes." he said.
He remembers lying in the bottom of the canoe for two hours, wearing only jeans and a T-shirt, shivering. Abruptly,
the rain stopped. The sun came out, dried his clothes and gave him a sunburn. As soon as he was dry, the rain started again.
He then hiked five hours up a mountain to a mesa, the site of a pristine jungle where he had hoped to collect insect species never before seen by any human. But a survey crew beat him to the spot, planning for a road so that the top of the mesa could be strip-mined for aluminum, a major source of income in Guyana.
a major source.
"It was really disheartening thinking in 10 years, none of this going to be here, it's going to be shredded," he said.
ASHORTAGE OF SCIENTISTS AND SPECIMENS
Disappearing along with the ecosystems are the systematists needed to study the vast variety of life on Earth. Kristalka said.
"There are many groups of animals and plants for which there is no longer an expertise to study them," he said. "It's like the loss of a language."
The shortage of systematists is critical for the study of the animals and plants that are least understood, such as many groups of bacteria, fungi, insects and crustaceans.
"There are groups that we cannot study because there just aren't enough experts out there," he said.
Brooks said there could be as many as 100 million species of insects in the world, but scientists knew and had classified only about 1 million.
since only about "Do you know how long it's going to take, at that rate, to know all the insects?" he asked. "With the current number of systematists, 5,000 years."
Because many insects might be extinct before they are found, scientists are running out of time, said Falin, the graduate student who had collected insects in Guyana.
"Finding good forest is becoming harder and harder," he said. "Once you put the stuff in museums, they're good for hundreds of years, but you need people out collecting and being able to recognize what's new material now, as opposed to 100 years from now, when it's simply not going to be there."
Kristalka said the number of systematists began to decline in the 1970s, when universities shifted attention away from biodiversity science and toward molecular biology — the study of cellular structure and function — which has many applications to human medicine. This newer, high-tech science

was heavily funded by universities and federal agencies.
Sea anemones are enigmatic creatures that live on ocean floors and capture fish with their tentacles.
He said the National Institutes of Health received about $20 billion each year in federal funding. By contrast, the National Science Foundation, which supports all social sciences and physical and natural sciences, receives only $4 billion a year.
WORLD-BENOWNED SPECIALISTS AT KU
Falin said, "There's nothing wrong with keeping humans healthy, but humans are just one species, and if you compare that with the hundreds of thousands and millions of other species that we know nothing about, well, there's kind of a mismatch of funds."
One small lab in Haworth Hall contains sea anemone experts, including Daphne Fautin, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and one of the world's leading authorities on these enigmatic creatures. They are brightly colored animals that look more like plants, reside on ocean floors, wave their tentacles and eat fish. She said only five experts in the world were employed to study sea anemones, and only one other hailed from the United States Megan Daly, a postdoctoral fellow who studies under Fautin.
"Within the last decade, we've lost half of the people who worked on the systematics of sea anemones," Fautin said. "These people are dying out, and because they weren't replaced, there was no incentive for good graduate students to want to study sea anemone systematics."
Daly is fascinated by these little-known ocean creatures. "We can't understand them on our own scale," she said. "They don't have heads, they don't appear to do anything that we can relate to, even in the way we can relate to bugs."
Daly's fascination does not wane when she leaves the lab. She collects anemones on family vacations and once scraped a few off a rock in Florida, wrapped them in wet paper towels and brought them home in her luggage.
"Sea anemones are found in every marine environment, and we know very little about them," she said. "We don't know what role they play in ecosystems."
Fautin is naming one new anemone species after her husband, Bob Buddemeier, a senior scientist for the Kansas Geological Survey. In 1987, he found the species while the two were on a trip together in Papua, New Guinea, where she collected sea anemones and he collected rocks.
"It's a small, squishy little thing, but more than most people have named after them," he said. "It's not unattractive when it's cleaned up and in a dish by itself."
Buddemeier said this species' name was buddemeieri.
THE FUTURE OF SYSTEMATICS
The decline of systematists has not gone unrecognized. Scientists around the world have sounded the alarm for years. James Rodman, program director for systematic biology at the National Science Foundation, said of the problem, "The best that can be hoped for is stabilizing the situation. It's possible it's getting worse. The need is great and hopefully something will happen."
But KU's department of ecology and evolutionary biology, together with its museums, has remained stable. The department attracts students from around the world and has more than 50 students in the program, the most in the country, Kristalka said.
"In terms of accomplishments, in terms of funded research by national agencies and graduate student education, in educating the next generation of biodiversity scientists, we're No. 1 in the country," he said.
Brooks, the bee systematist, said he could recommend only two places in the world for a student of systematics: Cornell University and the University of Kansas. Fautin counted on one hand the university museums she considered to be top in the nation in systematics, one of which was KU's.
Rodman said KU's reputation had been proven by the grant money it received. One grant program started by the National Science Foundation in 1995 is the Partnership for Enhancing Expertise in Taxonomy program. It is designed to train students to carry on with research in areas that have few experts before those experts are gone. Recipients of the grant are required to record their expertise in databases and train graduate students.
Of the 21 initial taxonomy program grants, KU scientists received three. Daphne Fautin, Steve Ashe and Robert Lichtwardt each received 5-year, $750,000 grants. No other university received more than two.
Ashe, who is in Australia on sabbatical, received the grant to examine a little-studied group of beetles. His international reputation drew one of his graduate students, Stelios Chatzimanolis, from Iraklio, Greece.
Fautin's project involved making an online inventory of the known species of sea anemones, which she is now expanding to include their worldwide distribution.
"I've never been somebody who just wanted a name to put on a bottle sitting on a museum shelf," she said. "But, taxonomy, good taxonomy, was required to
get at other kinds of questions."
Fautin estimated that several hundred species of anemone had yet to be named. She has 20 to 30 unnamed species in her own lab. People often send her new specimens, asking her what they are
Kristalka said the taxonomy program was a step in the right direction, but not enough.
"It's a terrific program, but it's a drop in the bucket," he said. "We probably need 20 to 30 times the money."
Fautin said she worried about finding jobs for these new specialists.
"Because universities have tended not to replace their specialists in taxonomy, there have been fewer and fewer jobs," she said.
Fautin added that a number of systematists would be retiring in the coming years, creating some openings.
years, creating some of the most famous Fautin's lab group is spending this semester studying and naming a sea anemone that lives on the back of a hermit crab. A fishing crew pulled it from the Gulf of Mexico 15 years ago and sent it to Fautin for identification. Her students have spent hours examining its cells under microscopes to make sure it is a new species. The students plan to publish results early next year.
Fautin has had the specimens sitting in her lab for years, but only now does she have students available to take the time and give it a name.
"There's plenty of work for me and my students," she said. "In our lifetimes, we're not going to get them all named."
Meanwhile, in the entomolgy museum, Brooks said no one was available to give names to thousands of insect species stored there.
"We just house them, waiting for the time that someone will rise to that occasion," he said.

Big weekend shakes things up in Big 12
What a wild weekend for college football.
On Friday afternoon, as the turkey scraps were getting picked over, Nebraska's defense was getting picked apart. The Colorado Buffalooes obliterated Nebraska in Boulder, Colo., snapping the 'Huskers title hopes like a turkey's wishbone.
wishbone. The 62-36 pounding sent the Buffs into the Big 12 Conference title game and the Huskers home crying. Instead of the highly anticipated rematch between the conference's two powerhouses, Nebraska and Oklahoma, it looked like it would be the Buffaloes battling the Cowboys for the Big 12 title.
Then things got even crazier.
As Florida fans were still celebrating Nebraska's loss with cheers of, "Roses are Red, Nebraska is too. Sorry 'Husker fans, No Rose bowl for you..." Texas fans got a little something to cheer about as well.
as well. A day after squeaking by Texas A&M, the Texas Longhorns got new life as the Oklahoma State Cowboys shocked the Sooners—and the rest of the nation—in Norman, winning 16-13.
A late touchdown by the 27-point underdogs changed the travel plans of thousands of Sooner fans who thought for sure they'd be riding their wagons down to Dallas for the Big 12 championship game this weekend.
While it was definitely exciting to see two underdogs win, the upsets may have loosened the Big 12's hold on being the nation's best football conference. Sure, these were Big 12 schools beating other Big 12 schools, but when two of the nations top three go down in the same weekend, it doesn't matter who beat them.
So after such a wacky weekend there will be no round two between heavyweights Nebraska and Oklahoma. Instead, it's Colorado and Texas duking it out for the conference crown.
The two upsets not only rocked the Big 12's boat, but they also turned the Bowl Championship Series standings upside down.
The BCS got more "shook up" than Elvis Presley and it's a good thing Miami won, or we would have seen the same kind of craziness that college basketball is going through right now after one week of action.
week of action
I think if we learned anything at all this past weekend it was that if these are truly two of the best teams that college football has to offer, then this is a down year for college football. Playing at Colorado was Nebraska's first tough road game of the year. Sure they beat Oklahoma in Lincoln, but that win isn't looking so impressive after the 3-7 Cowboys took the boom out of the Sooners in Norman.
Things might get even more mixed up after this week's games as Miami travels to take on No. 13 Virginia Tech and No. 2 Florida hosts No. 4 Tennessee. Nebraska now needs some major help if it wants to climb back into things — but who knows? The way things are going, they might just get it. All bets are off this year and with no consistently dominant team, we may not have seen our last wild weekend in college football.
'Hawks helped by Maui trip
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
Manni is a Topeka senior in broadcast journalism.
Take away a half plagued by leg cramps and the Kansas basketball team played almost flawlessly in the Maui Invitational.
No.4 Kansas bounced back from its 93-91 first-round defeat to Ball State by drubbing Houston 95-78 and Seton Hall 80-62. While the Jayhawks came away from the tournament pleased with their fifth-place finish, the taste from the Ball State loss won't leave their mouths any time soon.
"It felt like it was a (NCAA) tournament loss," junior forward Drew Gooden said of the Ball State loss. "It was even worse because it's the end of the season after a tournament loss. You don't have to deal with it because you
don't have to play any more games. That was our first game of the season. You've got 30 more left."
Gooden and junior forward Nick Collison proved they weren't ready to let Kansas' losing performance repeat itself in the second and third rounds. The pair of preseason All-Big 12 selections played two healthy, productive contests after both players suffered leg cramps in the second half of Kansas' first-round loss. Gooden scored 35 points and grabbed 20 rebounds in the two games against Houston and Seton Hall. Collison recorded 44 points and 22 rebounds, including a career-high, and tournament record-tying, 19 rebounds against Seton Hall.
"Winning two games in three days is not bad," Collison said. "It wasn't a championship, but we played well."
Freshman guard Aaron Miles experienced a nightmarish first-round game in which he turned the ball over and allowed his man to score the game-winning basket all in the game's final 15 seconds. However, Miles, who led the Jayhawks with 19 assists in the three games, showed poise and contributed in Kansas' two victories.
The players who may have benefited most from playing in Maui last week were the team's freshmen, Kansas coach Roy Williams said.
Freshman guard Keith Langford exhibited the most consistency of the freshmen with his slashing drives to the basket, fluid jump shots and stellar rebounding. Langford averaged 11.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in the tournament.
"For the freshmen this was invaluable," Williams said. "You can't put a number on it. Three games in this atmosphere against this competition is great experience."
While Kansas is sure to drop in this week's AP basketball poll, which is released today, senior guard Jeff Boschee said Kansas could draw some positives from the first week of regular-season play.
"After the first loss to Ball State, I didn't even want to be here," Boschee said. "Everybody wants to be in the championship bracket. But beating Houston and Seton Hall got our spirits up quite a bit. I think we learned from Ball State. I think we learned from our mistakes."

Weather doesn't damper Kansas win
Kansan sportswriter
By Jeff Denton
A light drizzle came and went while gusty winds raged through Memorial Stadium. Stretches of metal bleachers were empty as a pair of 2-8 college football teams finished the 2001 season.
By the fourth quarter, the temperature had dipped into the low 40s and what remained of the estimated 6.500-person crowd bundled close to one another.
But as Kansas four-year starting cornerback Andrew Davison walked down the tunnel to the locker room after the game for one last time, a sly grin broke across his face. After six straight Kansas losses and a fourth straight losing season, Davison had left the field a winner.
Kansas had defeated Wyoming 27-16. And that alone erased some of the disappointment.
"This was a game for the seniors." Davison said. "Everybody played a little bit harder this week than they have the past couple of weeks. Guys were more focused and there weren't too many busted assignments. It was the last game of the year, and we got the job done."
The game marked the first victory for interim coach Tom Hayes. In the first game after Kansas fired Terry Allen, Hayes was hammered 59-0 by No.4 Texas. His second time out, Kansas was baffled 49-7 by Iowa State. But on Saturday Hayes' players performed with a level of excitement that he said drove the team to its first win since Oct.6.
"When you get on a losing roll like we were six in a row or whatever it was—it's no fun," Hayes said. "The reward is going out there and winning football games."

Sophomore running back Reggie Duncan eludes the grasp of a Wyoming player late in the third quarter. Duncan gained nine yards on the play, which set up a Johnny Beck field goal and put the Jayhawks up 27-7 Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Duncan gained 168 yards on 30 carries.
Kansas fares well during Shootout
During the holiday break, the Kansas women's basketball team gave thanks while traveling to Puerto Rico for the three-day San Juan Shootout, earning a win over host school Puerto Rico-Mavaguez.
In their first round match-up, the Jay-
hawks (2-3) lost to Hampton 67-63.
Kansas shot 37 percent from the floor and 53 percent from the free-throw line. Senior guard Selena Scott led the offensive attack with 22 points and three assists. Scott also grabbed seven rebounds and three steals in the contest
"She has been doing a good job," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "We just have to get a few more players who can knock shots down when they are open. It was not like we did not have open shots. We just did not knock them down, but we did not get to the line and they did — and that made the difference."
Senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp joined Scott as the lone scorers in double digits with 13 and played a team-high 35 minutes for Kansas.
After the first-round defeat, the Jayhawks came out firing against Puerto Rico-Mayaguez and earned their second win of the season, 93-42. Kansas got offensive production from every player as the Jayhawks shot 50 percent from the field while committing 11 turnovers and forcing Puerto Rico into 24 turnovers.
The senior class led Kansas once again. Nikki White scored 14 points on 3-of-6 shooting from the floor and a career best 8-of-9 from the line.
Scott tallied 13 points, three steals and two assists. Hilgenkamp led the Jayhawks with six assists while scoring nine points and grabbing six rebounds. Senior center Kristin Geoffroy added nine points. In its final tournament game yesterday, Kansas met up with Central Florida (3-2), losing 71-59. For the third time in as many days, seniors Scott and Hilgenkamp led the Jayhawks offensively, scoring 18 and 13 points, respectively. Sophomore Sharonne Spencer added nine points and six rebounds. Kansas converted only 36 percent of its free throws while shooting 40 percent from the field.
Kansas returns to the states and will prepare for the Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic this weekend.

Big 12 championship brings opportunity for underdogs
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — The Big 12 championship is a rematch, all right. Just not the one everyone expected.
Colorado-Texas is the surprising matchup for Saturday's game at Texas Stadium following a wild weekend that saw Nebraska and Oklahoma get knocked out of the conference title game and the national championship race.
The Buffaloes (9-2, 7-1) beat the Cornhuskers 62-36 on Friday, winning the North division. The win was their fourth in a row since they lost 41-7 to the Longhorns in October.
Texas (10-1, 7-1) beat Texas A&M 21-7 Friday, then was handed the South division crown when Oklahoma lost 16-13 to Oklahoma State on Saturday.
urday.
"We're going to play for the Big 12 title and maybe have a shot at the national title. What more can you ask for?" said Longhorns cornerback Quentin Jammer. "This is the chance we've been dreaming of.
"It's going to be great to play Colorado since nobody expected them to be in Dallas either. They're not the same team that came to Austin. They will come to Dallas with a lot of confidence and emotion. We will be prepared, too. It's going to be a great game."
For the No.3 Longhorns, playing in the Big 12 championship comes with more risk than reward.
The risky part is that Texas likely would ve been invited to a Bowl Championship Series game as an at-large team if Oklahoma had won the South.
Now the Longhorns must beat No. 9 Colorado to get in — lose and they're out of the BCS and the $13 million payday that comes with it. A loss also might sink them below the Sooners in the pecking order of second-tier bowls.
The best part for Texas is the chance of advancing to the national championship game.
The odds, though, aren't good. In addition to beating the Buffaloes, the Longhorns would need two losses Saturday among No. 1 Miami, No. 2 Florida and No.4 Oregon.
Then again, it wasn't likely that Nebraska and Oklahoma would both lose their regular-season
finales. The Cornhuskers and Sooners went into the weekend ranked Nos.2 and 4 and were a combined 21-1, with the one loss by OU in their head-to-head meeting.
to hear meeting.
"I had imagined this might happen, but I didn't want to let my imagination get too carried away," Texas offensive lineman Mike Williams said.
Texas' only loss this season was to Oklahoma. The Longhorns have won six straight since and haven't trailed in the second half.
The Colorado game was the second victory in the Longhorns' six-win march.
The Buffaloes went into Austin on a five-game winning streak, but committed three early turnovers and missed a field goal. Texas scored a touchdown on its opening drive, got two more in the second quarter then poured it on in the second half.
"I'm really anticipating playing Texas, because they beat us and beat us pretty bad." Colorado safety Robbie Robinson said. "It's one of those blemishes on our record we'd like to get redemption for."
Rematches are never easy for the first-time winner. Texas learned that two years ago when it beat Nebraska at home in mid-October, then lost to the Cornhuskers in the championship game six weeks later.
This will be the Longhorns' third appearance in the 6-year-old Big 12 championship.
Colorado's first appearance is especially impressive considering the Buffers went 3-8 last season.
"We hope we can present a better rematch than what we showed in the original," coach Gary Barnett said. "We did some good things early but, overall, didn't give them much of a game the first time."
Four years ago, Barnett was a finalist for the Texas coaching job. He lost to Mack Brown, who now is in position to win the first conference championship of his 18-year career.
"You always want to win your conference championship." Brown said. "That's what you play for. That's one of your first goals each year. BCS is not an issue today. Bowl game is not an issue today. This is what you fight to get into."
Despite big win against Portland, Duke coach asks team for more
The Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. — Mike Krzyzewski wants togetherness right now more than 40-point wins.
And the Duke coach made a point to tell the Blue Devils just that following a 104-62 victory over Portland last night, spending 20 minutes with his team in the locker room after the lopsided game.
"Coach is a little upset," Mike Dunleavy said. "He expects a lot out of us. That Portland team played really together and played hard and he's trying to teach us to do that."
Krzyzewski wasn't pleased with Chris Duhon's play, so he was benched to start the second half. And at one point, he called a time out to yell at his team as they were lining up for a free throw.
"The game is not coached for just this game, it's to see different things," Krzeyzewski said. "If you're trying to figure it out just for this game it's probably a square peg trying to be put in a circle."
The Blue Devils, struggling from the outside again, got 20 points from Carlos Boozer and forced 27 turnovers to beat Portland.
Boozer, 11-for-11 from the field in a 33-point win over the Pilots last season, made 8-of-14 this time and grabbed 13 rebounds as Duke (4-0) had six players score in double figures and won its 20th straight home opener.
sage to heart.
Dahntay Jones added 17 points, while freshman Daniel Ewing had 15.
sage to heart.
"We have to understand just because we're being hyped up as 'The Team,' we still have a lot to work on," Williams said. "This year's team has to realize that we don't have anything. We have to have that hunger to go after it."
Casey Frandsen led Portland (1-2) with 28 points.
Duke shot 39 percent from 3-point range a season ago, but came in with the Pilots hitting 33 percent after three wins in the Maui Invitational. That number took a hit last night as Duke missed 19 of its first 20 3-pointers and finished 5-for-25.
Jason Williams, Duke's All-American guard who was 0-for-5 from 3-point range and scored just 10 points, took Krzzyzewski's postgame mes-
"We weren't as sharp as I would like us to be," Krzyzewski said. "I don't know if it's all the travel or what. We can talk about jet lag and all that stuff, but when you show up to play you need to play sharp."
to play star. The Blue Devils missed their first nine beyond the arc and finished the first half 1-for-15 as the Pilots, who lost in overtime to Idaho State four days ago, remained in the game.
While Duke's offense struggled in steamy Cameron Indoor Stadium, its defense was super, forcing Portland into six straight turnovers at the start of the game and 13 for the opening 20 minutes to build a 16-point lead.
The outside shooting and overall flow of the offense was so poor, Krzyzewski dug deep into his bench to play Matt Christensen and walk-on Mark Causesy to try to find a spark.
It worked, as Duke went on a 10-0 run.
BIG12FOOTBALL Top teams tumble in AP poll after weekend defeats
Losses for Nebraska and Oklahoma turned into big gains for Florida, Texas, Oregon and Tennessee in the AP media poll.
While Miami (10-0) was a near-unanimous choice at No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 yesterday, Florida moved up to No. 2, Texas to No. 3, Oregon to No. 4 and Tennessee to No. 5.
Nebraska (11-1), beaten by Colorado 62-38 on Friday, fell four spots to No. 6, while Oklahoma tumbled seven places to No. 11 after its 16-13 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday.
The Hurricanes, who close out the regular season on Saturday at Virginia Tech, collected 71 first-place votes and 1.799 points.
The Gators (9-1), off over the weekend, received the remaining first-place vote and 1,716 points.
Texas (10-1) moved up two places following its 21-7 win over Texas A&M, and advanced to Saturday's Big 12 Conference title game against Colorado. The Buffalosoves (9-2) improved five spots to No. 9 after their big win over the 'Huskers.
Oklahoma loses to state rival loses shot at championship
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma went into the Oklahoma State game favored by 27 points and didn't score half that many. This time, the Sooners' outstanding defense couldn't bail them out.
Oklahoma State stunned Oklahoma 16-13 on Saturday by driving for a game-winning touchdown in the closing minutes.
Oklahoma struggled against what had been one of the worst defenses in the Big 12 and the Cowboys ended the Sooners' shot at a second straight national championship.
"They executed when they needed to and we didn't," said quarterback Nate Hybl, who was just 22-of-48 for 220 yards with three interceptions."
K-State quarterback has record-setting game
MANHATTAN — Once Josh Scobey got his feet under him — and a handle on the ball in a cold, windblown drizzle — the rest was, literally, history.
Scobey managed just 30 yards and fumbled away a pitchout on his first eight carries Saturday, but finished with 198 yards and two scores on 38 carries. He also broke two school records and tied another as Kansas State became bowl-eligible with a 24-3 victory over Missouri.
Scobey's two touchdowns, a 14- yarder in the second quarter and a 37- yarder in the third, gave him 31 for his career — in only two years — tying him with Mack Herron (1968-69).

Volleyball team swept by'Buffs, loss ends season
Colorado swept the Kansas volleyball team in its final match of the season Saturday.
The Buffaloes took three straight games from the Jayhawks, 30-25, 30-27, 30-23, on Colorado's Senior Day at the Coors Event Center in Boulder Colo.
The loss fixed Kansas' 2001 record at 16-15, 6-14 in the Big 12 Conference, while Colorado improved to 18-10, 13-7.
"Colorado played really well this afternoon," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We ran into a hot team here on their Senior Day. We battled hard but gave up a couple of runs in each game, which cost us."
Sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome led the Jayhawks with 10 kills, marking the fifthstraight game in which Rome recorded double-digit kills. She also led the Jayhawks with 12 digs against the Buffalooes.
Junior defensive specialist Jennifer Kraft chipped in 11 digs. Junior middle blocker Molly Scavuzzo added five block assists and a solo block.
Colorado's Sonja Russell pounded a match-high 16 kills.
The loss ended the career of
senior setter Molly LaMere. LaMere finished second all-time on the school's career assist list. After posting 37 assists against Colorado, LaMere ended her career with 4,108 assists, finishing second all-time on the team's career assist list behind leader Julie Woodruff.
Final season statistics saw Rome leading the Jayhawks in two key categories.
She led Kansas with 398 total kills, averaging 3.9 per game, and 284 total digs, averaging 2.78 per game.
game.
Scavuzzo was second on the team with 325 total kills. LaMere followed Rome with 259 total digs.
The Jayhawks finished the season with 192 total service aces. Rome led the Jayhawks with 39 total aces.
Sophomore middle blocker Jordan Garrison led the Jayhawks at the net with 14 solo blocks, while Thomas led Kansas with 76 block assists.
Note: LaMere was named AllBig 12 honorable mention by the conference yesterday. Her career-average 10.17 assists per game is a school record.

Six commit to track cross country teams
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and cross country teams hope to receive an immediate boost from six athletes recruited during the early signing period.
Abby Emsick, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, is among the best returning high school discus throwers in the nation. She tossed the disc 157-5 at the United States Track and Field regional meet last summer. That mark gave her the 10th-best throw in the country, and she is the fifth-best returning throw this season. She also threw the shot 46-10, one of the top 30 performances in that event in 2001.
Kansas assistant coach Doug Reynolds said he made signing Emsick his top priority for the early signing period this fall.
"I had no question." Reynolds said. "I watched her compete at the Drake Relays last year. She's a stud, and I went after her from the get go."
Cameron Schwehr, from Colbert, Wash., runs cross country and track. He is the third-fastest returning high school runner in the mile. His time of 4:10.78 at the Washington state meet last May was the 13th-fastest high school time in the United States last year
Jenna Bimbi and Allison Martin, a cross-country standout from Smith Center, will also run cross country and track for the Jayhawks.
KANSAS RECRUITS
Abby Emsick, Council Bluffs, Iowa Cameron Schweir, Colbert Wash. Jenna Bimba, Pueblo, Colo. Allison Martin, Smith Center Cherise Backus, Trinidad, Kan. Clark Grisell, Garden City
Bimbii will come to Kansas from Pueblo, Colo. She was second in the large-class state cross country meet this fall. She posted times of 2:11.94 for 800 meters and 5:07.00 for 1,600 meters last season.
Kansas assistant coach Doug Clark said he was very excited about having Bimbi join the team next year.
next year. "She could end up being better than anyone we've got," Clark said.
Martin finished eighth in the Kansas 3A cross country meet last month. She ran the 800-meter event in 2:15.59 meters last season.
Roundting out the early recruits for Kansas are Cherise Backus and Clark Grisell.
Backus is a multiple-event threat from Trinidad. She will probably be given the opportunity to compete in the indoor pentathlon and outdoor heptathlon at Kansas.
Grisell, a Garden City native, finished third in the high jump at the 6A championships last spring with a jump of 6-6.
Men's golf team surpasses fall season expectations
Contact Norton at 864-4858
By John Domoney
Kansan sportswriter
Randall knew that his group would be tested early, and he was counting on several players to fill the roles of departed seniors Conrad Roberts and Casey Harbour.
Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall was concerned about the youth and inexperience of his team as it prepared for the fall season.
But the Jayhawks head into winter break full of confidence and ranked 38th nationally in Golfweek magazine.
The fall season didn't begin as the Jayhawks would have liked. The team finished 10th out of 15 teams at The Ridges Intercollegiate in early Sept. in Jonesborough, Tenn.
Kansas followed that performance with a fifth-place finish out of a nine-team field at the Jim Colbert Intercollegiate in Manhattan on Oct.1-2.
KANSAS MEN'S GOLF FALL 2001 FINAL STATISTICS
"I think at the beginning of the year we struggled a little bit," sophomore Tyler Hall said. "A lot of it had to do with our team is really young."
Kansas began to improve as the season progressed, starting with the Purina-Missouri Bluffs Classic in St. Charles, Mo., on Oct. 8-9. At the event, the 'Hawks posted a fifth-place finish out of 15 teams.

The Jayhawks' new bravado was put on display at their final two tournaments of the fall on the West Coast.
After a tie for fifth place at the demanding Nelson-Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif. on Oct. 28. Kansas had its beer
finish of the fall in a tie for second place at The Prestige at Palm Desert, Calif., on Nov. 5-6.
Randall said he thought that the last two tournaments of the fall were a preview of good things to come in the spring.
"I just think certain people started playing a little better," Randall said. "Things got better and players got playing better to end on a high note in the last two tournaments."
One of the players who started to produce late in the fall was junior Chris Marshall, who led the team with a stroke average of 72.4 coupled with four top-20 finishes.
Heading into the fall season, Hurst was considered to be among the Jayhawks' top performers, and he lived up to the hype, shooting a 72.93 stroke average to go along with three top-20 finishes.
Senior Travis Hurst and Hall also had strong seasons.
Hall vaulted his way into one of the top spots on the team with his 73.06 stroke average. Hall owned
the team's best individual finish of the fall season with a tie for second place at The Nelson-Stanford Invitational.
The team plans to conduct weight training sessions three times each week during the off-season. The Jayhawks kick off their spring schedule on Feb. 13 at the Taylor Made/Big Island Invitational in Waikoloa, Hawaii.
While the event is more than two months away, Kansas is looking forward to the trip and its spring schedule.
"You really can't get much better than Hawaii," Hall said. "It will be a great start to the season. If we can jump out and get a great start there, it will catapult us through the rest of the year."

SHADOW'S STUCK!

'Millionaire' players arrested
The Associated Press
LONDON — Three people have been arrested on suspicion of cheating on the British version of the TV game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
Maj. Charles Ingram and his wife, Diana, were arrested at their home west of London.
Detectives interviewed them, released them on bail Thursday and ordered them to return to a central London police station in December.
A 51-year-old man, arrested Thursday in Cardiff, Wales, was released on bail to return for questioning in February. He was not identified.
None of the three has been charged, a Scotland Yard spokeswoman said Friday.
They were questioned over an allegation of conspiracy to defraud and their homes were
searched, she added.
A police inquiry began in September into an episode of the popular show in which Ingram won 1 million pounds, or $1.41 million.
The episode was not broadcast, and Ingram's check was withheld because of the suspected cheating. News reports suggested that someone in the audience relayed to him correct answers to questions by coughing.
Diana Ingram, 37, and the major's brother-in-law, Adrian Pollock, had both previously won 32,000 pounds, or $45,000, on the game show.
She later wrote a book titled Win a Million, based on a theory she and her brother had used to succeed.
After the inquiry was announced, Ingram had a news conference and denied wrongdoing.
"He is stunned, bewildered and devastated at the action that has been taken and feels that the effects leave his career in the Army and livelihood in tatters," said a statement released at the time by his lawyers.
Celidor Productions, which makes the show for Independent Television, said the company did not wish to comment on the arrests.
Charles Ingram, 38, said,
"This is the first opportunity we've had to put our side of the story over. The time will come when we can talk freely."
Who Wants to be a Millionaire was created in Britain and became an instant evening television hit. Versions of the show have spread to several countries, including the United States, where Regis Philbin is the host. A U.S. theme park also is in the works.

Football: In last game, team finally finds rhythm
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
And the ultimate experience in college football is winning.
"They enjoyed themselves from the very first play to the very last play. And on the sideline, it was very fun watching them go. I am proud of them."
Maligned through its last five games, Kansas' offense had one of its most productive and complete efforts of the season.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Mario Kinsey passed for 221 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore running back Reggie Duncan rumbled for 168 yards and two touchdowns. Eight Jayhawks caught passes from Kinsey, and the offense compiled 451 yards in four quarters.
years in football.
Exhausted during the last month from constantly being on the field, Kansas' defense complemented its offense. Five Jayhawks sacked Wyoming quarterback Casey Bramlet.
Senior linebacker Algie Atkinson flourished with two sacks and four tackles. Both times Atkinson got a free shot at Bramlet, he buried the Wyoming quarterback. Atkinson finished his career as Kansas' all-time sacks leader with 23.
Kansas freshman kicker Johnny Beck, who made two second-half field goals after missing a 42-yarder just before halftime, said Kansas had reached its potential. "Every game we could have done the same thing, it's just that once something bad happens, it seems to downfall from there," Beck said.

Kansas takes hope into off-season
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas football team enters a transitional off-season with a fresh taste of victory.
The Jayhawks avoided ending their season with a seventh straight loss, topping Wyoming 27-14 at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
"It's a high note for us," said freshman linebacker Banks Floodman. "It will help us in the conditioning and the off-season. We won our last game, we know we can do it, so it will help us a lot. It's nice to scratch out that losing streak."
Freshman Mario Kinsey, who won as a starting quarterback for the first time in his career, said the win would help the team turn a season of frustration into something positive.
"We all learned a lot this year,
now we can use this momentum to work hard in the off-season to get better for next year," he said.
After Saturday's game, Kinsey guaranteed that he would return for his sophomore season.
"I'm going to be here and I'm going to try to lead us to a bowl game," he said.
Kinsey completed 88 of 202 passes — 43.6 percent — and threw 11 interceptions in 10 games this season. He racked up 225 yards rushing on 130 carries, second on the team to sophomore running back Reggie Duncan's 739 yards on 181 carries.
Without a permanent coach, Kansas carries a sense of uncertainty into the off-season.
Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, who fired coach Terry Allen on Nov. 4, has refused to discuss possible candidates for the position.
Interim coach Tom Hayes has
applied for the job, but said he had not received any indication of where he stood.
"Good things will happen here," Hayes said. "There's a move on and everybody can feel it. They'll make all the right decisions, I'm sure of it, we'll just see what happens.
"This is a positive note, it's a start for 2002 for me and it's a start for those players coming back," Hayes said.

Key to good computer buy is knowing purpose
The best buy contains appropriate software at a reasonable price
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
When shopping for a computer. KU students should do one thing first: determine what they need the computer to do.
Jim Miller, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, said that the best computer was one that would do exactly what it was bought to do.
was bought.
"As long as your computer is doing what you want it to do, then it's the best computer for you," he said.
This means tailoring a computer to have the programs and software that each student needs.
Where to go for discounts
- www.dell.com
- www.gateway.com
- www.apple.com
Ryan Blue, Olathe sophomore said he bought a Dell computer and he went online and designed the one that would best fit his needs.
"I use the Microsoft Office Suite the most," he said. "I also bought my computer for high-speed Internet access."
Blue is a business major and said he used programs such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word.
Excel and Microsoft Word While Blue did not get an educational discount when he purchased his computer, Dell does offer educational and several other discounts, such as free shipping, free memory upgrades and free Internet access for six months.
Miller said that looking for a discount should not be as important as getting a computer with the right programs for a good price.
but he said students should shop around and find the best deal.
"Figure out how much you can afford to spend, and get as much as you can," he said.
The Kansas Union Bookstore sells Apple computers, and every computer comes with a higher educational discount, not only on the computer but also on the software, said Mike Reid, director of the KU Bookstores.
The Gateway Country Store, 3151 Nieder Road, offers a 5 percent discount for students, said manager Scott Purcell. But students must order their computer from the store and not online, he said.
Gateway is trying to work out a deal with the University to get students a better discount.
Computers range in price anywhere from $700 to $2,500,depending on the software,the hard drive and accessories such as monitor size, modem speed and whether the computer is a laptop or a desktop.
Miller said laptops were generally more expensive because of the convenience they offer. A laptop can be taken virtually anywhere.
While computer sales do pick up around Christmas, the majority of students purchase computers at the beginning of the semester, Purcell and Reid said. This is when most dealers offer better package deals.

Leaving a football breeding ground for a town where basketball is king, how seven Kansas athletes have dealt with being...
Out of the limelight
BY JEFF DENTON
Former Kansas football star David Winbush was in seventh-grade gym class when he first heard about the crime that put his hometown of Killeen, Texas, in the national spotlight.
green, Texas, in the national spotlight.
That day — Tuesday Oct. 16, 1991 — George Hennard, 32, from nearby Belton, plowed his pickup through the glass windows of Luby's Cafeteria.
He stepped calmly from the driver's seat, pulled out two 9mm pistols and sprayed gunfire through the open room. Ten minutes later, 23 people were dead or dying and 20 were wounded. Crouched against a wall in the restroom hallway, Hennard's final blast killed his 24th victim — himself.
As the sun went down that evening, citizens of Killeen sought solace from another activity that put their city on the map - Texas high school football
Killeen High School played that terrible Tuesday. In their time of mourning, fans filled the bleachers at Leo Buckley Stadium. People who could not get seats stood side-by-side around the chain-link fence that circled the stadium.

Kansas is a story of U.S. Army fathers away from home, no-nonsense mothers who made the players do their homework, coaches who both cared and disciplined and a community that used football for therapy in its darkest moment. When they left Killeen, the town was full of football champions. Today, Killeen fans, like those at Kansas, are accustomed losing and finding heroes in the war than the

Killeen High's hometown rival, Killeen Ellison, was also strong in football. With the town's two high schools stocked with talent, the rivalry led to dynasties for both, and recruiters from major college programs began flocking to Central Texas to entice its football stars to their campuses.
stars to their campuses.
One of those athletes, driven by a strong mother determined her son would earn a degree from a good college, decided in the summer of 1997 to head for the University of Kansas, a school better known for basketball, rather than stay in his home state where football was king.

Teri Mejia stared out the window at sidewalks her vehicle passed, searching for any signs of her stepson Ben. On Nov. 5, after three days of combing the streets of Providence, R.I., she was still looking.
At a stoplight, a man dressed in a knee-length smock rode his bicycle directly in front of the Mejias' rental car.

"My husband saw him first and recognized him as one of the brothers," said Teri Mejia of Thousand Oaks, Calif. "When I saw him, I recognized him as being Ben."
As they approached their son, he stiffened. He was very robotic and unemotional after more than a year with no contact with his parents, she said.
Ben had grown a full beard and was wearing a tunic with an overcoat.
"We were with Ben and looking at Ben, but I didn't feel like we were communicating with the Ben we knew," Mejia said.
She said the Ben they knew no longer existed. He was now known as "Brother Eli," she said, and had joined the Roberts Group.

To battle the infiltration of the group, Mejia sent an email to the University of Kansas on Oct. 19 after a woman contacted her about an attempted recruitment on campus, she said.
An Overland Park junior had been approached by the Brethren and has since withdrawn from the University and is receiving counseling.
Awareness of the group, Mejia said, is vital. She said she hoped her e-mail informed the University of the possible threat.
"I just want to avoid this happening to anyone else," she said.
Thad Holcombe, Ecumenical Christian Ministries pastor, said he would send out the e-mail to other groups on campus.
Jeff Otte, Topeka sophomore, said he had seen the group on Massachusetts Street several times.
"One of them approached me and asked me what I was reading." Otte said. "I told him, and he said 'Do you have any interest in the Bible?' I told him I didn't care about the Bible."
Otte said then the conversation ended.
The group is easy to recognize because their drab smocks are almost like a uniform, Loomis said. The group was

Chrysler to pay $20 million to family of woman killed
JERSEY CITY, N.J. — A jury ordered DaimlerChrysler to pay $20 million to the family of a woman killed when a tire landed on the roof of her minivan.
The sum includes $5 million for each of her three sons because they witnessed her death. The boys were 7, 11 and 14 at the time.
Annette Boryszewski, 38, was killed in 1998 when her Chrysler-made 1998 Plymouth Voyager was hit by a tire that flew off a Jeep Wrangler.
new on a steep average Confidential settlements were reached with the driver of the Jeep, the operator of a Mobil garage that failed to tighten the wheels and Exxon Mobil Corp., leaving Chrysler the only defendant.
Chrysler said it would challenge the Nov. 9 verdict.
Chrysler attorney Ken Gluckman said that the woman's death resulted from a "freak accident" and that the Voyager's roof exceeded government requirements and was stronger than the roofs of other minivans.
Search for 1969 murder rifle turns up four other weapons
YORK, Pa. — Investigators searching a creek for the rifle used in the 1969 murder of a York police officer during a race riot found no trace of the weapon, but they did discover four other guns.
A dozen specialists equipped with wet suits, scuba gear and metal detectors spent several hours Saturday scouring the bed of Codorus Creek for evidence in the July 18, 1969, slaying of Officer Henry C. Schaad.
Instead of the rifle used in his slaying, the team pulled up a revolver, an old-fashioned flintlock pistol, a double-barreled shotgun and a pellet gun. Investigators had not determined if the flintlock was a modern replica or an antique.
Two African-American men — Stephen Freeland, 49, and Leon "Smickle" Wright, 53—face murder charges in the shooting of the Caucasian police officer, which occurred on the second night of riots touched off by the wounding of an African-American teen-ager by a Caucasian gang member.

School reopens after teen-agers allegedly plot to kill students
The Associated Press
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — A high school where three teen-agers allegedly plotted to use explosives and guns to kill fellow students reopened yesterday after it was declared safe following a sweep by nearly 40 officers and five bomb-sniffing dogs.
Eric McKeehan, 17, and two 15-year-old freshmen, who allegedly modeled themselves after the two students who carried out the Columbine High School massacre in Littleton, Colo., were to be arraigned yesterday on charges that include conspiracy to commit murder.
The students were arrested at their homes Saturday after a New Bedford High School janitor found a letter outlining their plans to
detonate explosives in the school and then shoot fleeing students. Police said the students then planned to kill themselves when police arrived.
A search of the students' homes yielded bomb-making instructions, knives, shotgun shells and pictures of the suspects holding what appeared to be handguns. The guns were not recovered.
Two more students were being questioned and faced arrest, authorities said.
School was open yesterday morning.
$145 billion verdict appealed
The Associated Press
MIAMI—The tobacco industry appealed a record $145 billion verdict yesterday, saying the two-year trial was riddled with legal flaws and the attorney for sick Florida smokers used inflammatory rhetoric.
The appeal by the nation's biggest cigarette makers challenged the decision to group all the smokers in a single class-action lawsuit. It also attacked the punitive damage award as "bankrupting and excessive."
"Each of the phases of the case were infected with legal error and tainted with the misconduct of counsel." Philip Morris Cos. vice president Bill Ohlemeyer said after the filing. The trial was tarnished by "a series of critical errors by the trial judge leading to an unconstitutional and unjust result."
unconstitutional
The 174-page appeal is the first stage of what is expected to be a prolonged legal battle about the verdict reached in July 2000. The jury concluded that cigarettes were deadly and addictive, opening the door for $12.7 million in compensatory damages for three smokers and punitive damages for the group. It is thought to be the largest jury award ever.
Besides questioning the legal basis for many decisions, the appeal attacked plaintiffs' attorney Stanley Rosenblatt. It said he "compared defendants to defenders of slavery and the Holocaust" before a predominantly African-American jury.
American jury. Rosenblatt said he had no immediate reaction to the appeal but expected to take longer than the standard 30 days to respond.
Martin Feldman, a tobacco analyst with Salomon Smith Barney, called the court filing "powerful and persuasive" — and probably the most costly court document ever prepared by the industry.

Boeing lays off 2,900 workers; next round soon
NATION
SEATTLE — Boeing Co. laid off 2,900 workers yesterday as part of the company's already announced plan to trim as many as 30,000 workers by the end of 2002.
2002.
About 1,900 workers in the Puget Sound area and 1,000 workers elsewhere in the country received the 60-day notices, said representative Tom Ryan. All those affected will lose their jobs by Jan. 25.
The majority of the layoffs are in the company's commercial airplane division, which has been hard hit by the Sept. 11 events.
Boeing will release its next round of layoff notices Dec. 21, Ryan said.
In October, Boeing announced a first round of about 12,000 job cuts to be completed by Dec. 14.
"We knew it'd be a significant number so I guess I could say there's no surprise, but it's still very disturbing that many people will all be without a job in 60 days," said Mark Blondin, president of Boeing's Machinists Union. "It's not an easy time for them."

Students devote week to the death penalty
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
A stronger correlation exists between the death penalty and minorities than between cigarettes and heart disease, said Karen Keith, Tulsa, Okla., junior, and president of the University of Kansas chapter of Amnesty International.
To bring attention to the problems with the death penalty, KU Amnesty International is having a focus week on the issue.
The movie is a drama about two friends who face a dilemma when a third friend is detained in Malaysia on drug charges. Unless the pair returns to share the blame, the third will die.
The group is having a free showing of the movie Return to Paradise at 8 tonight at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The KU chapter of Amnesty International also is sponsoring an information table through Friday in the Union.
The KU Green Party is sponsoring a discussion about the death penalty in Kansas at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., in conjunction with the death penalty protest week.
Tommy Bobo, North Augusta,
S.C., freshman, and member of KU
Greens, said the group included a
member of an activist group working
against the death penalty in Kansas
and Thad Holcombe, pastor at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204
Oread Ave.
Bobo said Greens worked on many of the same issues as Amnesty International.
"Our concerns are their concerns, and their concerns are our concerns," Bob said.
Keith said the implementation of the death penalty in the United States had a lot of problems besides the ideological issue of killing a person.
"It's racist, it classify, and it's somewhat random," Keith said.
She said two people could be convicted for exactly the same crime, but one person could receive the death penalty, while one might not. The penalty is irreversible, even if debate continues about a person's guilt or innocence. Also, it is more expensive to kill people than to imprison them for life, she said.
The Death Penalty Information Center listed four people on Kansas' death row as of July 1. Kansas has not executed anyone since 1994.
Keith said she used to be in favor of the death penalty until she started doing research about it in high school. Now she works to inform others about the flaws in the system.

"It's important to get people thinking about it and maybe reexamine where they stand," she said.

founded by Jimmy T. Roberts in 1971. Members consider Roberts to be "The Elder" or "Brother Evangelist."
"There is cause for concern, because if anyone is recruited they will be completely taken from family and friends," he said. "The extent of harm will be extremely great." The International Church of Christ
Loomis said the International Church of Christ, which is registered with the University, is a group that used similar deceptive and manipulative techniques to recruit members.
Jane Teh, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia senior, became involved with the International Church of Christ first in Malaysia and then when she came to the University.
"It was difficult to leave the church because the only thing I was involved in was the church," Teh said.
Teh said that after she left the church, she could see why some called it a cult.
"They really isolated themselves from society, and that's not healthy for me," she said.
Teh said that although starting again was difficult, she still loved members of the church and did not harbor negative feelings.
"I learned that the faith is from within me," she said. "It's not from
other people."
Holcombe said Kansas University Religious Advisers had experienced problems with the International Church of Christ in the past, and it was "definitely cult-like in nature."
"They are an extreme sectarian church that uses manipulative techniques and pressure with their members, but I wouldn't call it a cult exactly," he said.
In 1995, KURA, an inter-faith group that monitors the activities of religious organizations on campus, formed a panel that investigated the church after a series of student and parent complaints.
The panel originally began as a way to discuss the concerns, said Jim Musser, Campus Christians minister.
"The University and KURA basically gave them a list of things that they needed to change before they could register again," Musser said.
Musser said that the panel's conclusion was based on pressure that was placed on members by the group.
"They didn't give students an opportunity to make their own decision," he said.
The group was also found to be deceptive, he said.
"They're always very friendly in the beginning with people," Musser said. "But they don't tell you a lot of what the expectations are."
Musser said members often became so involved that they lost contact with people and activities outside the group.
"If they dropped out of the group, they had this fear that they wouldn't have any friends," Musser said. "That's one of the leverages they have with people. That's by design."
The group did not re-register with KURA. But the church's new campus ministry, Jayrock Ministry, is now recognized by the University.
organized by the University Steve Stevenson, evangelist of the church, said he re-registered the ministry with the University in 1999 by filling out simple paperwork.
He said he attended several KURA meetings, but did not feel comfortable with the monitoring group.
"KURA doesn't particularly like our campus ministry, and they weren't really receptive to our group being a part of the organization," he said.
part of the organization. He said some members of other churches joined their ministry because they want to be more committed to the Bible.
Stevenson said the group had not changed since it was asked to leave the University and re-register in 1991. The group was then known as Campus Connection.
don't check it out for themselves."
people "People just believe the hype," he said. "People like negative news. They love to believe the bad news and
If people dug into the Bible, he said, they would not find anything wrong with the church.
"If you think Jesus was a cult leader, then we are a cult." he said. "People who really want to follow the Bible love our church and our campus ministry. People that want to be shallow and just believe what people say won't be part of the church."
Christina Harms, 2001 KU graduate,
is a member of the International
Church of Christ and Bible study
leader. She said the group's mission was
to make disciples of other students.
Harms joined the group about three years ago when her boyfriend invited her to a Bible study. At the time she was an atheist, she said.
The phone calls some people called harassment were out of concern, Harms said.
"We're a close-knit group," she said.
Harms said she was aware of the conceptions of the ministry.
"I know wholeheartedly that we're not doing anything that's not in the Bible or harassing," she said. "I really believe that just as people persecuted Jesus and his followers, we will be treated like him because no student is above his teacher."

Scholarship halls robbed, damaged
By Michelle Burhenn Kansan staff writer
Both K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall and Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall were burglared during Thanksgiving break between 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and 2:15 p.m. Friday, according to a KU Public Safety Office report.
In both cases, someone entered the halls after shattering the glass French doors in the basement, ripped the box containing the five master keys off the wall and went through residents' rooms, stealing mostly electronics.
his Playmates 2 and 3.
"It seems like too far of a trip from the first floor lobby for someone to go if they're going to steal something like that," he said.
Kevin Fann, Hutchinson senior, is missing about $500 worth of equipment. He said he came back to his room in K.K. Amini on Sunday and learned from his roommate that his Playstation 2 and DVDs were stolen.
"Guy that have lived here for years don't know where the master keys are," he said.
Although Fann said he was confident that the person who stole the items did not live in either hall, he said the person had to be familiar with the setup of the hall.

"I walked closer to make sure I wasn't hallucinating and noticed the other hall's door was shattered," she said.
Ryan Giffin, K.K. Amini director, said that the locks for the residents' room had not been changed, but that all rooms would have new locks by the end of the week.
Giffin said about four rooms had items stolen, but he said he could not be certain if more residents were affected.
Both halles met at Margaret Amini at 10 last night to discuss what happened and to alleviate fears.
Liza Pehrson, Margaret Amini president, said that her hall wasn't hit as hard by the break-ins. She said that there were only two items stolen — her roommate's new laptop and cash for hall sweatshirts.
Pehrson said that the person who stole the items must have known what he or she was after in both halls.
"They only stole brand new lap tops and certain CDs," she said. "I have an older lap top that wasn't even touched."
She said residents were uneasy.
"Knowing they had gone into every single room to check it out is really disturbing," she said.

Multiculturalism doesn't mean anything
Multiculturalism is one of those 50-cent words that are often bandied about amongst the intelligentsia without much consideration for exactly what it means or how it is attained. And like all currency, its prevalence has led to an intellectual inflation of sorts, where whatever meaning the word used to possess has been lost in a stampede to political correctness.
For example, consider the teaching of the Quran in KU's mandatory Western Civilization course. While proponents will undoubtedly assert that its place in the curriculum in these trying times is absolutely necessary, upon closer examination it becomes apparent that its inclusion is based on the flimsiest of rationales.
The first claim made by Quran proponents is that Islamic society had a huge impact on the development of Western Civilization, and thus the work ought to be included in the course. Initially this argument is appealing. After all, Islamic scholars preserved the works of ancient Greece and Rome and also made numerous scientific advances of their own. The Islamic empire stretched well into Europe, and wasn't expelled until 1492 (which is why Colombus managed to get his little project funded).

YEAR BEGINNING
So certainly Islam has had a profound influence. Which is interesting until one begins to ask what any of that has to do with the Quran. Christian empires have waged wars of conquest the world over. Yet if I wanted to understand the influence of the conquistadors on South America, I wouldn't read the Bible to do it. Instead I would find a good history or two. Reading a religious text to understand the influence of practitioners of that religion on a region over the course of a millennium is a questionable technique, to say the least.
The second claim made by Quran proponents is that, regardless of the actual involvement with Western Civilization, knowledge of Islam is still important for inhabitants of the modern world. True as that may be, I fail to see how 60 pages of reading, a lecture or two, and a discussion can impart the knowledge desired.
The three hours or so spent on Quranic study in Western Civ are about the length of a professional football game. Yet after seeing only a single game, I would be hard pressed to successfully involve myself in any sort of in-depth discussion about the sport. Similarly, I doubt that including the Quran in Western Civ really imparted useful knowledge to anyone in the class.
anyone in the class. However, the proponents of the Quran will still fall back on the devalued currency of multiculturalism to make their third claim - "at least." they will say, "the students are getting some multicultural exposure." However, far from making the students erudite world citizens, it is likely to imbue students with unwarranted confidence in their expertise. This in turn, will only retrench many of stigmas and prejudices that reading the Quran purports to eliminate.
Quran purposes.
For example, imagine a conversation between a KU student who has "read" the Quran in Western Civ and his hometown buddies. Because the KU student has learned a few vocabulary words and read a few passages that his buddies have not, he will gain instant credibility. However, his sophomoric knowledge isn't really suited for an thoughtful discussion, and because he lacks the requisite
expertise for insight and analysis, he will merely regurgitate the same platitudes that float around the culture at large and reinforce these notions with a few fumbling references to "people of the book," "fire" and "infidels." So all reading the Quran in Western Civ really does is retrench the dominant paradigm regarding Islam, because the knowledge imparted by Western Civ is too limited to replace that paradigm with anything else.
else.
Western Civ in general seems to be an exercise in phony multiculturalism and false cosmopolitanism. The course readings are all incredibly important to the development of modern culture, yet because of time constraints, works of staggering depth are to be placed in proper context and fully explored in the time span of a feature film. The Quran is an especially good example, as few students have a great deal of knowledge about Islam, thus making false "multicultural" judgments all the more likely. The entire pedagogy of Western Civ merits rethinking, and the elimination of the Quran from the required readings would be a good place to start.

WAR ON TERRORISM
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
Reformed government focus of talks
The Associated Press
KOENIGSWINTER, Germany — Afghan factions can expect no aid for rebuilding their war-ravaged country unless they agree on a broad-based government, a senior U.S. official said yesterday on the eve of U.N.-sponsored talks.
"Until there is a government that is broadly representative and recognized by us, there's not going to be any reconstruction assistance," said the official, who is close to the talks and spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity.
When formal talks start today, the four Afghan delegations gathering at a stately mansion overlooking the Rhine River face intense international pressure to reach a consensus on Afghanistan's political future.
Eighteen nations, including the United States and Britain, are exerting influence from the corridors, and the U.N. representative for
Afghanistan said yesterday that the four groups must decide quickly on a security force and an interim administration. Ahmad Fawzi's comments came amid fears that the eventual fall of the last Taliban stronghold — Kandahar — would ignite infighting among the northern alliance.
Some of the 32 delegates arrived early and started informal discussions Sunday, including those representing ex-King Mohammad Zaher Shah and a group of exiles based in Cyprus. Those conversations continued yesterday.
The delegates will spend the duration of the talks at Petersberg, perched on a hilltop above the former German capital of Bonn and reached by a single road. The secluded location was chosen not only for security reasons, but also to remove the delegations from what Fawzi called "daily pressures." a
move the United Nations hopes will give them perspective to reach a consensus.
The United States hopes the promise of billions in aid will help bring about a power-sharing accord among the four groups: the ex-king's supporters, the Cyprus group, another exile group based in the Pakistani city of Peshawar and the northern alliance warlords who are regaining control of Afghanistan from the Taliban.
Fawzi said the United Nations was imposing no conditions on the Afghans.
At the White House, spokesman Ari Fleischer said that while President Bush believes the formation of the government of Afghanistan should be up to the Afghan people, he also wants "to make certain that there is a multiethnic group that governs Afghanistan and that includes women."

Marines sent in to limit Taliban movement
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The mission of the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan is to cut off escape routes for Taliban and al-Qaida leaders, pinpoint targets for air strikes and conduct quick-strike ground attacks when the chance arises.
At a Pentagon news conference yesterday, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said the Marines had been sent in to "help pressure the Taliban forces in Afghanistan, to prevent Taliban and al-Qaida terrorists from moving freely about the country." He said the Marines would number in the "hundreds, not thousands."
Others said about 1,000 Marines would be involved. The last time that many had been put on the ground in a war zone was in the 1991 Gulf War, although Marines played a role in Somalia in 1993 as well as in Balkans peacekeeping operations.
Rumsfeld was reluctant to discuss the Marines' role in detail, but it appeared they may not be a traditional ground force that seeks contact with enemy troops — like the Marines' Gulf War push into Kuwait to oust an occupying Iraqi army.
Instead they may focus mainly on blocking roadways leading away
from the southern city of Kandahar rather than assault the city itself in search of fighters. In this way they could make it harder for enemy forces to resupply, regroup or escape across the Pakistani border.
Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, wanted the Marines in southern Afghanistan as part of a broader strategy of blocking roadways, Rumsfeld said.
Rumsfeld stressed that the Marine base could be used for a variety of missions.
In an early indication of their role Marines attacked an armored column with Cobra helicopters last night in
the vicinity of their new base. It is the Marines' training in the coordinated use of ground and air power that makes them especially useful in this kind of war.
The Marines also emphasize special operations missions including hostage rescue, demolition, countererrorism and recovery of downed aircraft.
They join several hundred U.S. Army and Air Force special operations troops who have been working alongside anti-Taliban forces throughout Afghanistan — most effectively in the north — for weeks.
Caves, mountains may harbor a hidden Bin Laden
The Associated Press
JALALABAD. Afghanistan — Rumors of Osama bin Laden's whereabouts abound among Afghans.
Local militia leaders in eastern Afghanistan suspect bin Laden may be holed up in a mountain base called Tora Bora, which veteran Afghan guerrillas describe as an impregnable fortress.
Built with U.S. aid during the Soviet occupation, Tora Bora sits about 35 miles south of Jalalabad, atop a 13,000-foot mountain, three hours by foot from the nearest road. Carved 1,150 feet into the mountain
are a series of rooms and tunnels that reportedly can house 1,000 people.
The caves have a ventilation system, and the Taliban have installed electrical wiring, using a hydroelectric generator powered by mountain runoff, said an Afghan who visited the complex six months ago with Arab fighters

However, Tora Bora is about 300 miles northeast of the Kandahar area, where hundreds of U.S. Marines began landing Sunday, which suggests that Washington has its eyes on other possible hiding places more accessible to the Taliban stronghold.
Mullah Mohammed Khaqzar, a former Taliban intelligence chief, said bin Laden and his Taliban allies might head for the towering mountains that rise up to the northwest of Kandahar beginning at Argandab.

Another possible destination could be Kajakai in neighboring Helmand province, where mountains tower nearly 10,000 feet.
tower nearly 10,000 feet Still, officials in Jalalabad stick by their theory that bin Laden is in Tora Bora. Hazrat Ali, a militia leader in charge of security around the eastern city of Jalalabad, said he had heard reports that bin Laden had been seen in Tora Bora as recently Wednesday.
However, Abdul Qadir, the new governor in Jalalabad, said he could not confirm reports that bin Laden, who visited Tora Bora in the 1980s, was hiding there.
Afghan children need more aid UNICEF says
The Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — As many as 100,000 Afghan children could die of cold, disease and hunger within weeks if vital aid doesn't reach them, the U.N. Children's Fund said yesterday.
Africa. Diseases spreading through refugee camps in western Afghanistan, near Iran, have claimed the lives of hundreds of children in the past few weeks, the organization said.
"Winter is approaching fast, and we need to move in emergency supplies even quicker in order to help the most vulnerable, the Afghan children and women, to survive these very cold conditions," said Thomas McDermott, UNICEF regional director for the Middle East and North Africa.
weeks the organization McDermott, who is overseeing UNICEF's Iran-based emergency operations in Afghanistan, said the organization's priorities are to conduct an "immunization program to prevent the spread of epidemic diseases, reactivate social services and getting Afghan children back to school."
McDermott said a plane carrying 33 tons of relief supplies for Afghan children landed Sunday in Mashhad, near the border in Iran. He said the supplies, including therapeutic milk, sweaters, boots and mattresses, would be trucked to Herat in western Afghanistan today.
Since the United States began bombing Afghanistan Oct. 7 in an effort to root out Ossama bin Laden's al-Qaida network and oust the Taliban from power, UNICEF has sent three convoys with 88 tons of relief supplies to Herat, McDermott said.
But he said delivering aid has been a major problem for staff of UNICEF and other groups because many drivers have been reluctant to travel on mountainous, icy Afghanistan roads and fear they will encounter retreating Taliban forces.
The Taliban held about 95 percent of Afghanistan before the U.S. attacks begin, but they have lost almost all of it this month to the Northern Alliance and other opponents.
In New York yesterday, U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said U.N. missions scheduled to leave for Mazar-e-Sharif from Termez in Uzbekistan over the weekend were postponed because of "the prevailing insecurity in the north."
the prevailing Eckhard also said the U.N. High Commission for Refugees expressed its "extreme concern" about the plight of thousands of civilians in southern Afghanistan following renewed fighting there.
Before the U.S. attacks, Afghanistan was already suffering from decades of devastating war and years of drought that drove million from their homes, and the Taliban had made it increasingly difficult for international aid groups to operate there.

Killeen pipeline: Seven stars form a family
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
go out there and make a turn before I threw the ball. It was the fear factor that made him develop the elusive capabilities. He was educated on fear."
The natural talent blossomed when David returned to Killeen. He starred on the varsity track team as a freshman, but was seen as too tiny to flourish at football. One of the skeptics was Marvin Rainwater, principal of Ellison High School.

"It was all about going somewhere where you are going to get the best for
"He was always a shy kid," Rainwater said. "But during his junior and senior year, he found another gear."
"But I think it was the opportunity to play and not be a number at another school was why he went to Kansas."
Winbush made guys miss because he was one step ahead of the defense. He saw things others could not. That sixth sense helped put him first in Killeen's career rushing yards in 1996 with 4,238.
Winbush said he spurned marquee programs like Texas A&M and Oklahoma because the Jayhawks gave him a chance to play as a true freshman, a chance to bring glory to a lesser program and a chance to get a good college education.
Dan Hull, the radio voice of Killeen high school football, said Winbush wasn't the biggest guy, the flashiest, or the fastest, but had the vision that could make a two-inch seam appear to be five feet wide. That made him one of the hottest prospects in Texas in 1997.
"David Winbush - what excitement. He had such great eyes and feet. Those were the things that separated him from other running backs," Hull said in a voice tired from just announcing an Ellison game.
JEFF DENTON/KANSAN
Luby's Cafeteria, in the middle of Killeen off Highway 190, still stands 10 years after a mass murder horrified the town. The restaurant has been closed since Oct. 16, 1991, when George Hennard killed 24 people including himself. "You'd think in a small town like Killeen, something like that wouldn't happen, but it did," said Kansas running back Reggie Duncan.
going to get the best for yourself. But I never meant to start a trend." David Winbush Kansas running back (1997-2000)
"It was all about going somewhere where you are going to get the best for yourself," he said, smiling. "But I never meant to start a trend"
Soon, Winbush's decision sparked a Kansas interest in Killeen.
Running back Reggie Duncan, who replaced Winbush after he graduated from Ellison, turned down offers from schools such as Miami, Louisiana State and Colorado because he had seen Winbush play early and often at Kansas.
Carl Ivey was close to Duncan — they had been friends for years and had dominated the Killeen Boys Club league when they were in middle school.Winbush was Ivey's player host when he came to visit two and a half years ago. He was sold.
Robert Sanders had a chance to become the third straight Ellison back to carry the ball in the Kansas backfield. It was an easy choice.
Six degrees of David Winbush had come full circle.
Johnny McCoy played Boys Club ball with Winbush. David McMillan and McCoy were friends.
Winbush was proud that his legacy lured so many of Killeen's prized players, but he was not about to give all the
credit to football and the Luby's masacre for catapulting Killeen into the public eye.
"Texas high school football in Killeen is something that is never going to die," Winbush said. "But Fort Hood put Killeen on the map."
Military and mama
When Rainwater steps outside his school some afternoons, he can hear the sounds of live artillery exploding three and a half miles away.
three and a half Fort Hood, America's largest military installation,' is in Killeen's backyard. It has 42,000 active-duty soldiers and occupies 335 square miles, about the same area as Dallas.
Housing is limited on base, so about 20,000 soldiers and their families live in
Killeen. Most of the Kansas-Killeen connection lived in Killeen and played high school football there because their fathers were stationed at Fort Hood.
Carl Ivey is the only Kansas Jayhawk whose father was not involved with the Army. The other players' fathers have either retired or are still on active duty. Three of them were sergeant E-75.
"The most powerful thing in the U.S. Army is an E-7 or an E-8." Rainwater said. "They are trained to kill people. That's the guy who knows the system and tells the lieutenants what to do."
But when their fathers had to leave home for foreign duty, their mothers shouldered both parental roles.

Clockwise from bottom left, Robert Sanders, (Ellison Class of '01), Reggie Duncan, (Ellison '99), David McMillan, (Killeen High' 00), Carl Ivey, (Ellison'99), Jason Stevenson, (Ellison'97), Johnny McCoy, (Killeen'00). These six Kansas football players followed the footsteps of Ellison's David Winbush to create a Killeen-Kansas connection. But success at the college level hasn't been as easy for these high school standouts. The five players from Ellison were on one of Texas' top teams. Kansas, despite their arrival, hasn't had a winning season since 1995.
When Winbush was a high school senior, his mother, Evelyn, was the President of the Quarterbacks Club at Ellison. She was also the key reason David chose Kansas, Rainwater said.
"Winbush's mom was sold on the tutoring program for athletes that Kansas had. She was convinced," he said. "You could bring in Miami, you could bring in Texas, you could bring in anybody, but Mrs. Winbush was going to listen quietly and then she's going to ask, 'When's David going to graduate and how are you going to help him with that?'
Winbush will graduate in December with a communications degree.
Center Jason Stevenson, who played in his last college game on Nov. 24, formed an unbreakable bond with his mother, Easter, when he was a high school football star at Ellison. Her constant reminders that going to Kansas was more about school than football stuck with the 295-pounder.
He is on track to graduate in December 2002 with a physical therapy degree.
Carl Ivey grew up in a rough section of Youngstown, Ohio. His mother knew her son could be steered in the wrong direction if she did not move him to a safer place. Her mother, Ivey's grandmother, had lived in Killeen and was familiar with the town. So she moved her family to the Central Texas town to begin fresh with her son. Ivey's father remained in Ohio, so his mother assumed more responsibility.
"My mom was like both my mom and my dad." Ivev said.
David McMillan calls his mother Sherry "my everything, my best friend."
And McCoy calls his mother "a big sports person."
"She was pretty into the games back in the day," he said.
It was easy to be mesmerized by the atmosphere inside Leo Buckley Stadium on Friday nights, especially when Killeen and Ellison squared off and an entire town came to watch their sons battle in Killeen maroon and Ellison green.
The rivalry
Two simple words make Reggie Duncan's widen - Robert Walker.
He was the coach who inspired players by slamming his own head into a metal locker before big games, the coach who believed football was an organized fight, the coach who would yank his own son by his face mask, the coach who would holler with vigor and explode in anger if things weren't done his way.
"He's a street fighter," Rainwater, the principal, said of his close friend, who is now an assistant coach at Stephen F. Austin University. "He was pretty rough, but Robert would say that it's a man's game. You are not going out there to lose."
But there were times when the abrasive side of the coach would soften and he would show his love for his players, his passion to teach and his desire to get the best out of his young athletes.
Said Rainwater, "I think that he loved the kids and there was a balance there. I think Robert did a lot of things that were pretty extreme, but at the same time did a lot of them in the context to motivate his kids."
Killeen against Ellison was the game the players and their coach aimed for every year.
One memorable moment in the
rivairy came in David Winbush's senior season, when a thunderstorm pounded Leo Buckley stadium with sheets of rain. The stands were full two hours before kickoff. A mere cloudburst would not stop the crowd from watching the big game.
mg the big game.
"It was so bad that you couldn't even see," Rainwater recalled. "But Robert told these guys, 'the more it rains, the more we are going to beat Killeen High."
"These guys are screaming and hollering, it's in the middle of a thunderstorm, and they're just kicking the hell out of everybody. It was truly an act of insanity."
What made the rivalry more special than the players, more intense than the bone-crushing hits and more memorable than the usual close score, were the rabid fans.
One side would be clad in maroon, the other decked out in green, facing each other across a rectangular field 100 yards long and 50 yards wide.
The reality
100 yards long and 50 yards wide.
"The whole town was there," Chris Winbush said. "Those were the days.
You had friends who played at Killeen and vice versa. It was just smash-mouth out there. To be the king of Killeen, you had to win that game."
The town today has no kings — at least in football. On a breezy night in October, Leo Buckley's lights shined brightly, but few fans were there to watch.
Killeen now has four high schools: Harker Heights and Shoemaker were built before the start of the 2000 school year.
No huddling around the chain-link fence. No scrunching body to body on the metal bleachers. No parking three miles away at the Jack 'n' the Box restaurant because the parking lots were full.
With the talent level spread among twice as many schools, the dynasty ended and the town had to re-adjust. But about 700 miles north of Killeen, seven old stars had already gotten used to losing in the crimson and blue of Kansas.
David Winbush never went to a bowl game during his four years as a Jayhawk. He played in six losing games his freshman season, more than he did in his entire high school career.
It took two full seasons in Lawrence for Jason Stevenson to accept losing. He still misses the wild Leo Buckley crowds on Friday nights.
Duncan said he despised losing more than anything — cards, video games and especially football. He finished his sophomore season with 15 losses in two years.
Carl Ivey missed peering through his facemask to see the fans standing on the roofs of their houses to watch the Killeen-Ellison games.
On Saturday, 6,500 fans turned out to watch Kansas defeat Wyoming in the last game of the season. Twice that used to attend the Killeen-Ellison games.
McCoy misses being a star.
McMillan misses his mother.
Though times changed, the seven athletes had one another. They brought Killeen with them to Kansas, and that they will not forget. They all are friends. They caravan on the 10-hour drive home. And despite the losses, they still like Kansas and enjoy being in Lawrence.
Most of all, they miss those Friday nights when they were the heroes of their town.
"Back then it's what kept the town in place. It's what drove the Killeen image because football lasted us all year long," Rainwater said. "Now it's just something to do on Friday nights."
And since the Killeen pipeline began, playing football for the Kansas Jayhawks has been just something to do on Saturdays.

Swimmers: Face school decision
鱼
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
was satisfied with the explanation of the department's financial situation. He said he agreed with the way the University kept the financing of its sports teams separate from academic departments, which he said should take priority.
Despite having one year of eligibility left, Ben Legler said he didn't consider leaving Kansas to swim elsewhere. Legler had ended his junior season on a high note, with a personal-best 16:45:31 in the grueling 1,650-meter freestyle at the Big 12
"Money shouldn't be pulled away from academic programs to support athletic programs," he said.
A Lawrence native, Legler wasn't willing to leave family and friends, nor did he want to lose the ground he had gained toward a KU degree in psychology, by transferring to another school. That would have pushed him further away from his goal of going to medical school.
Championships in Austin, Texas.
"Most of my friends were here. I had to concentrate on academics. That's my future," Legler said. "Swimming was great, but life isn't swimming."
Legger said that when the team got word that it wouldn't be returning, teammates looked to one another for guidance. Some talked about trying to find a team that would
take in two or three Kansas swimmers, so that they could avoid having to transfer to a new school alone. That never happened, and each swimmer who left started anew on his own.
"There was a lot of people saying to each other, 'What do you think I should do?'" Legler said.
Rob Kelly was presented with that question several times. The Naperville, Ill., senior was completing his final year of athletic eligibility when "the decision," as former team members refer to it, was handed down. He wasn't faced with deciding whether to find another place to swim, but younger swimmers looked to him for advice.
Kelly said he told the
"You had to look at what your priorities were," Kelly said. "I said, 'If you're serious about this, cut your losses here and go someplace else.'"
underclassmen to try decide how important swimming was in their lives. Kelly had been swimming competitively since before entering the first grade and was glad he wasn't faced with the dilemma. He told those with a similar commitment to the sport to look into transferring to another school. He thought those who were less serious about competing needed to weigh more heavily other considerations, including friends at KU and academics.
Turnovers cause St. Louis second loss
Contact Kraall at 864-4858
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Warren Sapp slowed up what he called "the greatest show on turf" just in time to keep the Tampa Bay Buccaneers alive in the playoff race.
The Bucs upset the St. Louis Rams 24-17 last night as the 300-pound defensive tackle, who had just three sacks coming into the game, added two more against Kurt Warner, forced a fumble and spent much of the game in the St. Louis backfield.
Mike Alstott ran for touchdowns of 7 and 8 yards, and Warrick Dunn scored from 21 yards out early in the fourth quarter and broke a 17-all tie.
Two late interceptions sealed the win and kept the Bucs (5-5) in the NFC playoff race. The loss
dropped St. Louis (8-2) into a tie for first in the NFC West with San Francisco.
But the win didn't come easy.
With 6:30 left, the Bues had a fourth-and-inches at the St. Louis 10 after a blocked punt by Ronde Barber. Instead of trying a field goal that would have given them a 10-point lead, they went for it and got the first down.
But three plays later, Brian Young intercepted Brad Johnson's pass, and the Rams reached the Bucs 42 before Donnie Abraham intercepted Warner's fourth-down pass and quelled that threat.
The Rams, who beat Tampa Bay 11-6 here in the NFC title game two seasons ago and lost 38-35 in Tampa last season, moved up and down the field all night but managed just one touchdown. They fumbled three times and took the NFL lead in turnovers with 32.
The Rams got the ball back with 2:35 left, but John Lynch intercepted Warner's first pass and clinched the game.
Sapp came into the game with just three sacks in nine games. Last season, he had 161/2 and his 29 in the 1999 and 2000 seasons led the NFL over that period.
But on this night, he lived up to his reputation, even forcing Frank Garcia, who had started at left guard for the injured Tom Nutten, out of the game. Nutten, who had a high ankle sprain, returned in the third quarter and limped off again in the fourth.
Pistons make magic in final period
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Clifford Robinson and Corliss Williamson carried Detroit through most of the final period against Orlando. But Chucky Atkins was ready when the Pistons needed someone else to step ...
Robinson had 30 points and 1 0 rebounds, and Atkins' three-point
PISTONS
DETROIT
shot with 50 seconds to play put Detroit (9-4) ahead for good as the Pistons rallied and beat the Magic 105-100 yesterday.
Atkins said his teammates told
him that when the Magic double-teamed down low, he should be ready for a pass in the right corner. Sure enough, Jon Barry found Atkins standing alone, and the shot gave Detroit a 96-94 lead.
"As soon as I saw Horace Grant running at me, my thought process was, 'It's already too late.'" said
Orlando
MAGIC
Atkins, who finished with 11 points and made three three-point shots. "I didn't even hesitate."
Detroit made 12 of 15 shots in the fourth quarter, including 3-for-4 on
three-point shots. For the game, the Pistons shot 54 percent (38-of-70) from the field.
"Our guys were doing a good job of getting each other shots for most of the game," said Detroit coach Rick Carlisle. "It was just a matter of playing with force at both ends. When we play good defense, it sets everything else up. We turned up our defense in the second half, and that helped a lot."
Grant Hill, in his first game against his former team, had 14 points and eight rebounds. Hill was a five-time All-Star for Detroit before signing a seven-year, $93 million contract with Orlando in August 2000.
TRACK AND FIELD Walk-on tryouts scheduled for Saturday
Kansas track and field will have walk-on tryouts for spots on the 2001-02 team at 3 p.m. Saturday at Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
Any students interested in trying out should report to Anschutz, located directly west of Allen Fieldhouse no later than 3 p.m.
Athletes should provide their own equipment. Anyone with questions should call 864-3486.
BOWLING Kansas scores high at weekend tournament
Kansas finished 18th out of 36 teams in the tournament.
The Kansas women's bowling team turned in the second-highest team game in the National Collegiate Team Match Games in St. Louis last weekend.
On Friday, in their second team game, five bowlers racked up a total score of 1,206, second to Nebraska's tournament-high 1,220.
Nebraska won the women's tournament.
Kansas coach Mike Fine said he was pleased with his team's showing and that its middle-of-the-pack finish didn't reflect its performance.
"We did some nice things that didn't necessarily translate into a nice finish," Fine said. "Our women had a monster game."
In their first game, Kansas freshman Annette Manthei turned in a team-high tournament average of 218 in the tournament on Friday and Saturday. She was followed by junior Kristina Boehm, who averaged a 216. Junior Nicole Mosqueda averaged 201, and senior Tiffany McBurney had an average score of 191. Freshman Kelly Zaf averaged 172, and freshman Brenda Morgan averaged 165.
The Kansas men's team finished 19th out of 51 teams.
Western Illinois won the men's tournament. The tournament's top-10 teams played two more games than did the rest of the field.
Junior Ryan Ludwig led Kansas with a tournament average of 237. Sophomore Marc D'Errico followed with a 221 average. Sophomore Alan Emmons averaged a 214. Juniors Jesse James and Jason Elliott, who is the design editor for the University Daily Kansan, both turned in averages of 211.
Senior Mike Keeler rounded out Kansas' performance with a 209 average.

hmmm... THAT'S BETTER.
Citadel woman graduate writes about the adversity she overcame
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Two years after becoming the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, Nancy Mace is still an object of scorn from those who think the military college should never have opened its gates to women.
"I usually don't get the hissing, but sometimes I get the looks, stares, glares and comments and the occasional holler," says Mace, who is busy promoting her new book, In the Company of Men.
Subtitled "A Woman at The Citadel," the volume recounts Mace's life at the college, emphasizing her first year as a cadet. Mace was one of the first four women to enroll at the state college after it dropped its all-male admissions policy in 1996.
Pat Conroy, whose novel The Lords of Discipline is a thinly-
veiled account of his experiences at The Citadel in the 1960s, calls Mace's book "a wonderful, timeless memoir of the great test to become the first female graduate."
He also calls it "a love letter to her college and the best book about The Citadel ever written."
Mace, who authored the book with writer Mary Jane Ross, draws on the journals she kept as a cadet.
She describes "Hell Night" in which freshmen, called knobs because of their short haircuts, assemble in the dark and get their first taste of the college's Fourth Class System
— upperclassmen screaming rapid-fire commands in the dark that are all but impossible to carry out.
She tells of the animosity of some alumni, including one who always stinking of alcohol, singled her out at football games,
wiped his muddy soles on her spit and shine leather shoes and whispered obscenities. He told Mace she was "ruining his school."
"I would sit at attention while he whispered, my cheeks burning, my eyes smarting with tears as nausea rose and nearly overpowered me," Mace wrote.
Much of the animosity came from women, some of whom walked next to Mace's unit as it marched to the campus stadium calling her obscene names and accusing her of wrecking the college.
The account also touches on the two female cadets who dropped out after their first semester amid allegations of abuse. The tone of the book, though, reflects a love-hate relationship with the college.

Bowl berths are flying this week
The Associated Press
Virginia Tech gets another chance at Florida State in a bowl game, but the stakes won't be quite as high as they were two years ago in the Sugar Bowl.
The Hokies and Seminoles agreed yesterday to play in the Gator Bowl on Jan. 1, a far cry from the '99 Sugar Bowl when Florida State won the national title with a 46-29 win against Virginia Tech.
Florida State, 6-4 and unranked entering Saturday's game against Georgia Tech, played in the last three national title games. No. 14 Virginia Tech is 8-2 entering Saturday's game against No. 1 Miami.
Other teams accepting bowl bids yesterday included No. 17 Michigan and No. 23 Ohio State.
The Wolverines (8-3) are headed to the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1 in Orlando against a Southeastern Conference opponent. The Buckeyes (7-4) will play in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 in Tampa, Fla., also against an SEC opponent.
The Seminoles are headed to the 20th straight bowl and could do so with a mediocre 6-5 record. This is the first season since 1986 that Florida State has lost more than two games and failed to finish the AP media poll's top five.
The Hokies are 1-2 in the Gator Bowl. They lost to Tennessee 45-23 in 1994 and North Carolina 42-3 in 1997. Last year,
"We are ecstatic to be going to our seventh New Year's bowl in nine years," said Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer. "This is certainly a compliment to our program and to our great fan support."
they defeated Clemson 41-20.
Four teams have clinched Bowl Championship Series berths as conference champions — Miami (Big East), Illinois (Big Ten), Oregon (Pac-10) and Maryland (ACC).
The Buckeyes, who beat the Wolverines 26-20 on Saturday, return to Tampa, where they lost 24-7 to South Carolina last year in what turned out to be John Cooper's final game as coach. Jim Tressel replaced him this year.
The SEC and Big 12 champions have yet to be decided.
WACO, Texas — Baylor offensive coordinator Greg Meyer resigned yesterday, citing personal reasons and not the Bears' 0-24 Big 12 record during his three seasons.
"This has been a difficult decision, but one I feel is the best for myself and my family." Mever said.
The Associated Press
His resignation came two days after the Bears finished the regular season with a 56-12 win against Division I-AA Southern Illinois in which they had more than 507 total yards. It was the first time since 1983 that Baylor had consecutive 500-yard games
Bavlor offense coach resigns
A week before Southern Illinois, the Bears had 517 yards in
a 38-22 loss to Oklahoma State, and they also had 402 yards in a 41-24 loss at Missouri on Nov. 10. They had the biggest offensive games despite playing four different quarterbacks during those three games.
"I am very proud of the improvement shown by our quarterbacks and the offense towards the end of the season," said Meyer, a college coach since 1980. "I know next year they will come into their own and wish the entire team the success they deserve."
Before joining the Bears in 1999, Meyer was offensive coordinator the previous seven seasons at Northwestern as the Wildcats went from Big 10 cellar to back-to-back league championships and New Year's Day bowl games. He also worked as an assistant coach at Toledo (1990-91), Ball State (1987-89), Wichita State (1985-86), Arizona State (1980-84).

Kansas needs threes to see Final Four
Each year the Kansas men's basketball team begins with high expectations, with dreams of a trip to the Final Four or a dramatic come-from-behind victory against Duke in the national championship game.
Most years those expectations are met with bitter heartbreak after the Jayhawks falter in the NCAA tournament.
The ingredients are once again in place for a Jayhawks' Final Four run this season — despite the Jayhawks' narrow loss to Ball State in the Maui Invitational.
This seems like Kansas' year. The Jayhawks have the best frontcourt in the nation. Nick Collison, a consistent workhorse, and Drew Gooden, a talented superstar in the making, are nearly impossible for any team to stop.
But judging from past Kansas teams, two excellent forwards don't always lead to the Final Four.
In 1998-99, Kansas had two firstteam All-Americans. Paul Pierce, now one of the NBA's best players, and Raef LaFrentz, a tall power forward with a smooth touch, dominated opposing teams throughout the season, leading the layhawks to a 35-4 record and a No.1 seed in the Midwest Region of the NCAA tournament.
But Kansas went cold in the second round and was ousted by Rhode Island. Pierce and LaFrentz, both spectacular during the regular season, were powerless to stop Kansas from crumbling. Pierce scored 23 points, and LaFrentz had 22, but the Jayhawks fizzled from the outside, shooting a dismal five of 28 from three-point range (17.9 percent).
The same sort of thing could happen to this year's Kansas team. Gooden and Collison are good players, potential All-America's by year's end. But at this point in the season, neither is as polished nor as talented as Pierce and LaFrentz were.
Kansas can't rely solely on Gooden and Collison to carry it to a national championship.
In the NCAA tournament, Kansas' success will be determined by how well its guards shoot the three-point basket. Three-point shooting can turn an average team into a Duke-like sensation on any given night. The three-point bucket has become the great equalizer in college basketball, and it makes even the best teams vulnerable.
Kansas is a legitimate top-10 team. Convincing victories against Seton Hall and Houston in the Maui Invitational are evidence of that. But against Ball State, Kansas couldn't keep pace with the Cardinals' three-point shooting and lost 93-91. Ball State connected on 13 of 30 from beyond the arc, including eight of 16 in the first half. Kansas made just three of nine three-point attempts.
Cramping certainly did play a part in the defeat. Collision missed most of the second half with leg cramps, and freshman point guard Aaron Miles cramped up on the game's deciding play. But those things wouldn't have mattered had Kansas hit a few more outside shots or had Ball State not hit as many.
Three-point shooting can make or break seasons for teams of all talent levels. Kansas is no exception. But unlike the Jayhawks with Pierce and LaFrentz, this year's squad has three talented guards who are legitimate outside threats. Kirk Hinrich, Jeff Boschee and Miles can all hit the three.
They'll have to if Kansas is to advance to the Final Four for the first time since 1993.

When the Kansas men's swimming program was eliminated last March because of budget cuts in the Athletics Department, 20 men were faced with a choice—to leave Kansas and join another college swim team or to remain at the University of Kansas.
Each swimmer was forced to weigh his friendships here, his progress toward a KU degree and the athletic scholarship he had been guaranteed against the chance to swim competitively again.
1978
Eight Kansas swimmers elected to go elsewhere, leaving behind friends and girlfriends and forfeiting valuable credit hours and scholarship money. But 12 of their teammates decided to stay at KU, regardless of remaining eligibility.

Eight months after their team was cut, swimmers talked about how they turned to friends, family and one another as they wrestled with the difficult decision.
Transferred to: Alabama
Chris Musfeldt had established himself as one of Kansas' top breaststroke specialists when Kansas' program came to an end. He knew that he had a promising collegiate career ahead if he chose to transfer. He decided to visit three schools that had recruited him the year before: Truman State, Iowa and Missouri.
With a year of college experience, Musfeldt was more enticing to coaches at other programs than he had been as a high school senior. Besides, the coaches knew that because the then-freshman and Gladstone, Mo., native was willing to transfer, he would be committed to improving his times.
"They would definitely give us priority after a thing like this." Musfeldt said.
"They knew that we were pretty dedicated in that we were willing to leave all our friends here to continue on in the sport."
He said that deciding to leave Kansas might have been the most difficult thing he had ever done.
The choice was tougher for Musfeldt because his girlfriend, junior Patty Stringham, was a member of the Kansas women's diving team and would remain at Kansas. The couple is still together, and Musfeldt returns to Lawrence on weekends to be with her.
Musfeldt said that when the team was cut, he felt like the department had flushed away all the hard work that he and his teammates had invested in high school for a chance to compete in collegiate swimming. But as time passed, and he discovered that he would get a second chance at Missouri, he said he began to accept the reality of the department's budget woes.
"It was like leaving family. Some of those guys had become like brothers," he said.
"For a lot of us guys, it was our dream, it was our goals to make it to that level," he said. "I feel like we kind of got the shaft. I can see both sides of it now that emotions aren't quite so high. I can see the big picture."
Making his return to Big 12 Conference swimming this fall, Musfeldt was a member of the threeman team that took third place of 12 teams in the 150-yard breaststroke relay at the Big 12 Relay Meet on Oct. 19 in Columbia, Mo.

continue swimming but instead renewed his scholarship at Kansas and left competitive swimming behind.
Like several of his teammates, last spring Hanson contacted other schools that had recruited him out of high school. After talking with coaches at Southern Methodist, Texas Christian and Arizona State, he decided that Southern Methodist was the only school with business and economics programs that were strong enough—he plans to have two majors regardless of whether he remains at Kansas.
Southern Methodist was looking for a butterfly specialist. Everything seemed to be falling into place when Hanson decided late last semester that he had too much going for him in Lawrence.
"It just kind of came down to the fact that I was happy here, and I was getting along really well in my academic programs," he said.
Another factor was that Hanson's scholarship money was guaranteed for two more years at Kansas. Other programs could not promise him a scholarship.
Though he has ruled out Southern Methodist, Hanson is pondering a transfer to Stony Brook University on Long Island, N.Y., where his girlfriend is a swimmer.
Hanson said that although he would always be displeased with the department's decision to cut the men's swimming team,he

Some players endorse Hayes for coach
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
Kansas interim football coach Tom Hayes understood after his team's 27-14 win on Saturday that the process used to select the Jayhawks' next coach was intensifying.
Hayes said he intended to be considered for the job. Several of his players lobbied for the 52-year-old Hayes, who coached the Jayhawks to a 1-2 mark after former coach Terry Allen was fired Nov.4.
"Everybody knows about the process, and I am a part of it hopefully," Hayes said. "We'll see where it goes, and it's important to take the challenge and go run with it. I am just glad that it worked out, and we came up with a positive day to finish the season out for the players."
Cornerback Andrew Davison's 38th consecutive start on Saturday was his last. He played only one season out of his four in a Jayhawk uniform with Hayes as Kansas' defensive coordinator and interim coach. But Davison marveled at how his coach taught and disciplined by commanding such respect.
"Coach Hayes could make a lot of changes in one year, let alone three or four years down the road." Davison said. "I feel that he could bring in the right type of talent and make everyone around him better. I think he would be the perfect fit.
Davison said if Hayes was given full reign, only good things would happen for the Jayhawk football program.
"If you give coach Hayes a chance nex
to start from the beginning — from
the winter on to the season — he'll be able to prove what he is all about."
"When coach Hayes came in here, he made that an issue that we weren't going to do that these last three games," Beck said.
Freshman kicker Johnny Beck said he wanted a coach who would emphasize discipline. He said that when Kansas' season began to fall apart in early October and the Jayhawks began a six-game losing streak, the team was ready to fold. Beck said he admired Hayes for changing the team's mindset.
Some of the more talked-about candidates for the Kansas job are Oklahoma codefensive coordinator Mike Stoops, Fresno State coach Pat Hill and Marshall coach Bob Pruett. Stoops spearheads the
country's fifth-best defense. Hill and Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, have a good rapport from their four years together at Fresno State. Pruett has won 68 games during the past six seasons. His club is 10-1 and ranked No. 18 in the country.
Bohl did not divulge any of the possible candidates yesterday, but he said the selection process was moving rapidly and efficiently.
"I was very happy for coach Hayes," Bohl said about the Jayhawks ending the season with a win. "But the objective is not, 'Who is going to be the head coach?' It is, 'Who is going to be the right fit for the University of Kansas?'"

KU author's book about bioterrorism is selling
By Lauren Beatty and Sarah Hill Special to the Kansan
A University of Kansas professor had no idea that a book he wrote three months ago would make him an expert on bioterrorism after Sept. 11.
Jack Brown, professor of molecular biosciences, finished his book, Don't Touch that Doorknob! How Germs Can Zap You, and How You Can Zap Back, in late August.
When the book was released on Oct. 1, Brown became a source for anthrax information. He received several calls from national radio shows, all of them wanting to know about anthrax and other forms of bioterrorism.
But those inquiries were misdirected.
"I am not a bioterrorism expert," Brown said. "However, when a person writes a book, they apparently are assumed to be an expert on all of the contents."
Brown said he wrote the book to educate the general public about good and bad germs and how people can protect themselves against germs by using basic common sense. He said that being informed was the best form of protection.
"Knowledge removes a lot of fear." Brown said.
Brown sadd.
The Barnes and Noble Booksellers Web site has already sold 54,796 copies. The book is ranked as the No. 13 bestseller in the "germs" category.
Brown's book focuses mainly on germs in everyday life and how they can help or hurt people. One chapter of the book is dedicated to bioterrorism issues.
ison issues.
In that chapter, Brown wrote about organisms like anthrax or smallpox, which have been used as biological warfare agents in the past, and substances that might be used today.
"The number of times these agents have been used is very small, relative to the total number of wars," Brown said. "One reason to explain this is that it is such an unacceptable kind of response."
"These weapons are easy to distribute and hide." Brown said.
response. Brown said to prevent the use of these deadly agents, it would take an unprecedented effort among nations.
Brown also wrote about the current emphasis on flu shots. He said now, with the threat of anthrax, people are more likely to get a flu shot because they can assume they have another disease besides the deadly bacteria and focus on other diagnoses.
"Many diseases, including anthrax, start with flu-like symptoms," Brown said.
Brown suggests using risk-assessment and talking to a physician when deciding whether to get a flu shot.
"If I was a young person working in a Senate office building, or a postal worker on the East Coast, I would definitely consider getting vaccinated," Brown said.
Cathy Thrasher, clinical coordinator of support services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the staff at Watkins had given out 350 shots since the first shipment arrived on Nov. 6. Watkins still has 900 doses left. Thrasher said the anthrax scare had not seemed to affect students' decisions to get vaccinated.
"I don't think it's much different than what we did this time last year," she said. "People are just getting their regular flu shots."

Johnathan Neal is
a custodian in the
Art and Design
Building.
Story by Paul Smith Photos by En-Kae Chang
Johnathan Neal walks each morning to work at KU's Art and Design Building. A custodian, he can't afford $80 for a staff parking permit with the $400 check he takes home every two weeks to support himself, his girlfriend and his three children.
Neal admits to feeling some resentment on paydays when he empties a staff or faculty trashcan containing a discarded pay stub for $1.500.
He collects his bills in a stack — rent, credit cards, car insurance, child support. Neal is behind most of them.
"When I come home and see the bills, it just tears me up," said Neal, who was evicted from his apartment two weeks ago after falling behind on his rent.
Neal is one of 138 full-time employees at the University of Kansas whose before-tax earnings place them within the poverty range for a family of four, according to federal guidelines. Salaries paid to KU's classified staff—a designation for state workers that includes custodians, secretaries and skilled craftsmans such as plumbers and electricians—lag behind private industry salaries. That gap has widened in recent years, with state workers getting small raises. And with a tight state budget, raises next year seem unlikely.
Even when the state had extra money, KU's classified employees complained that they received small raises while the University awarded up to 7 percent salary increases to the faculty and administrators whose offices they staff, clean and repair.
"I really do need a raise," Neal said. "You've got to buy food."
A raise is on the minds of many classified staff, said Dennis Constance, a custodial supervisor at the University for 28 years. He said that a classified employee without a family might subsist on state wages, but those with dependents often need a second job.
"A person ought to be able to earn enough to adequately support a family with just one full-time job," said Constance, who serves as legislative director for the KU Classified Senate.
The Classified Senate asserts that the 1,600 University employees it represents are underpaid and that scheduled raises have been delayed.
"The State Legislature, because of the way things are structured, is the key player when it comes to staff wages," Constance said. "The University administration is in a strange position in that it doesn't have wage control over a lot of its employees."
Because classified staff at the University are state employees, the State Legislature in Topeka sets their wages, benefits and contributions to the mandatory Kansas Public

"Murals address people's concerns about local and national

issues, and the times in which we live and work," Loewenstein said.
"It's a piece in action in a gallery space, a piece in the making," she said.
Lora Jost, a local artist who is collaborating with Loewenstein on the project, said murals were interactive works by their nature because artists created them in public places over time.
The Art and Design Gallery hours are 1 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, and 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday.

Greeks rock revue change tradition with all-female skit
The women of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi sororities will make history at the 53rd annual Rock Chalk Revue, Look Both Ways, with the first allfemale group.
Traditionally, participants for the revue were made up of one fraternity and one sorority. When the revue first began, it consisted of an all-male cast.
Megan Murphy, Leawood junior and co-director of the performance, said both sororities had thought about pairing with another sorority for the revue this year.
year. "We were nervous to approach each other," said Murphy, member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Murphy, the sororites finally agreed to pair up. Murphy said she was nervous about whether the judges would favor an all-female cast.
Once the group learned of this year's theme, they began working on their set design and the script for their performance. The group will perform a skit called Doin' Time, a play about a women's correctional facility.
Brienne Brannan, Rogers, Ark., senior, and codirector of the performance, said the skit would focus on a woman who was put in jail for a jewelry heist. During the play, the woman struggles to fit in with other prison inmates and, in addition, tries to prove her innocence.
Brannan said she hoped the play would surprise the audience by the way the characters are developed.
"I can't spoil the ending," she said.
In the coming weeks, the all-female group will begin rehearsals and development of their set. Traditionally, the fraternity counterpart would help develop the set.
But Murphy said a design student helped with the set this year, and had all the specific plans made. She said the sorority was also organizing its members to help build the set.
The revue will take place from March 7 to 9 at the Lied Center, with proceeds going to the United Way of Douglas County. A total of five groups will perform.

School of Education receives accreditation, no weaknesses
The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education recently reaccredited the University of Kansas School of Education. The school received national accreditation by meeting all the council's standards with no weaknesses.
Mike Neal, assistant dean, said it was a big accomplishment that the council did not cite the school with any weaknesses.
"You go into it anticipating that there are things you need to work on," he said. "But to have an outside group come in and tell you there are no major weaknesses is something to be excited about."
He said the school still had plans for continuing improvement.
The council that accredited the KU school is the professional accrediting body recognized by the Department of Education. Two-thirds of of the nation's new teachers graduate from one of the 525 accredited institutions each year. KU's next evaluation will be in the spring of 2006.

Neighborhood association seeks to preserve historical homes
No houses can be built or torn down in the Old West Lawrence neighborhood until April 1, 2001, after the City Commission passed a moratorium on building permits last night.
Ann Goans, chainwoman of the neighborhood association, said the neighborhood was trying to preserve its historical nature and atmosphere. Preventing the demolition of historical homes in the area is another way to preserve the neighborhood.
Last month, the OWL neighborhood, from Sixth to Ninth streets and Alabama to Arkansas streets, requested a zoning change from duplex to single-family residence. That request will go before the planning commission early next year.

Judge says Columbine officials can be sued
The Associated Press
DENVER — A federal judge ruled yesterday that sheriff's officials can be sued in the case of a Columbine High teacher who bled to death in the 1999 massacre, saying law officers callously failed to reach him until hours after the shooting had stopped.
U. S. District Judge Lewis Babcock said Jefferson County sheriff's officials demonstrated "a deliberate indifference towards Dave Sanders' plight shocking to the conscience of this federal court."
However, the judge threw out the eight other lawsuits brought against sheriff's officials and school administrators involved in the shooting rampage. He said authorities were confronted with "an unprecedented and
Rescuers did not reach Sanders, 47, until about five hours after the massacre. The judge noted that authorities knew the teen-age gunmen were dead about 31/2 hours before they reached Sanders. They also knew where he was and knew that he was critically wounded, Babcock said.
rapidly evolving violent situation."
Babcock court The judge said there was sufficient evidence that sheriff's officials "acted recklessly in conscious disregard of the risk that Dave Sanders' survivable wounds would prove fatal" if they delayed help in reaching him.
Sanders' relatives are suing for unspecified damages, alleging sheriff's officials held back their SWAT team and also prevented other authorities and private citizens from rescuing him.

Legislature starts realigning districts to reflect Census
STATE
TOPEKA — A legislative committee began work yesterday on redrawing Kansas House and Senate districts.
The new district lines are supposed to reflect population shifts documented by the 2000 census.
The Special Committee on Redistricting met briefly before breaking up into small groups along party and regional lines. The committee has 34 members, 11 senators and 23 House members.
That means Johnson County is likely to gain legislative influence, as is the Wichita metropolitan area. Southeast Kansas and northwest and north-central Kansas could lose clout.

SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon attorney general cleared the way yesterday for state police and prosecutors to question foreign visitors as part of the federal terrorism investigation, a step made after Portland police refused to do the interrogations.

Business school sponsors investing forum
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
Sarah Stiefel, Madisonville, Ky. senior, works part time and invests money with her parent's help.
Stiefel doesn't spend a lot of time following the market, but she is glad to know how the market worked and said she would continue to invest.
George Bittlingmayer, Wagnon distinguished professor of finance, said he recommended that students invest early and often.
"The power of compounding interest is very strong," he said. "As far as a strategy is concerned, I think
stocks are going to outperform bonds in the long run."
Students can learn more about investing at a conference, sponsored by the school of business, called, "Investing in Troubled Times Opportunities and Challenges," at noon Friday at the Fairmont Kansas City at the Plaza.
The keynote speaker will be Allen Sinai, founder and President of Decision Economics, Inc. He has been one of the most respected economic forecasters in the country for the last 20 years, Bittlingmayer said.
Bittlingmayer said people should not let recent events affect their confidence in the economy.

He said slumps in the 1930s and 1970s were caused by policy decisions.
Other than instances where government has interfereed with company mergers, like AOL-Time Warner, Bittlingmary said current policies
would help stimulate the economy.
Stefie has an Individual Retirement Account and because she's leaving the money in for the long term, she isn't worried about the slumping economy.
"We've taken a few small hits on the money I play with, but nothing too substantial," she said.
Bittlingmayer said he thought businesses could become more efficient and new technologies would be discovered, spurring growth in the economy.
"People have always said. Well, we've achieved the limit," he said. "And I don't think we have yet."

Many contribute to history book of community
By J.R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Noel Rasor's professor of American studies encouraged her to contribute a paper she wrote for his class to a book chronicling Lawrence's history to the present.
Rasor, a Lawrence graduate student, and other current and former University faculty, staff and graduate students contributed to a new book. Embattled Lawrence: Conflict and Community.
The 468-page book, published by KU Continuing Education, is available at the Kansas Union Bookstore and other Lawrence bookstores. It also features contributions from Haskell Indian Nations University faculty members and Lawrence residents
Topics from the 35 articles include the history of the Jayhawkers, William Quantrill's massacre and racial struggles of African Americans and Native Americans.
Barbara Watkins, coordinator of curriculum and special projects for Continuing Education, said response to the book had been positive.
EMBATTLED LAWRENCE
Conflict & Community
"Lawrence people love their history and want to
know about their community," she said. "There's been a wide interest in Lawrence history for many decades."
Watkins said the book's concept came from Dennis Domer's televised course "The Biography of a City: Lawrence," in Spring 1998. Domer was an associate professor of American studies.
Watkins said the book might be used as a textbook next semester by some professors.
Rasor, one of Domer's students, said her article was called, "Considering Context and Urban Redevelopment: Douglas County Bank and Its Legacies." She wrote about the controversy in 1987 about the bank razing houses on Kentucky Street to build a new branch.
"Lawrence residents are still very emotional about it to this day." Rasor said.
She said she liked the book.
She said she liked "its an excellent collection," Rasor said. "There's talks in the press about the actively practiced democracy here, and the book really speaks to that."
A book signing as part of Faculty and Staff Appreciation Night will be at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday. Dec. 5, at the Kansas Union Bookstore.

"gateways" at each campus entrance, enhanced walkways, new campus signage and heavy use of climate-appropriate plantings. Special emphasis will be placed on making the north side of Memorial Drive a pedestrian walkway. And a new Mid-Hill Walk on the south slope of campus will provide an uninterrupted east-west corridor.
KU First seeks to raise $500 million by 2004, $8 million of which will help enhance KU's distinctive sense of place. Another $10 million will be raised to add a building at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park to establish a sense of place there, as well.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR GRATITUDE TO STUDENT SENATE
We are writing on behalf of the February Sisters Association to express great concern about the front page story "Some groups upset about less Senate funding" (Nov. 20). The article says that a number of student organizations, including ours, are upset about the Finance Committee's allocation of Student Senate funds.
Dear editor,
Our treasurer, who attended the Finance Committee meeting, was never interviewed by the reporter for this article, nor were any of our officers, members, or Student Senate co-sponsors. Our organization was misrepresented, which disturbs us greatly, especially because we are very pleased with Student Senate's support of our proposal for the 30th Annual February Sisters Forum.
Contrary to being "upset," we are grateful to the students who work hard to spend student money wisely, and we are working very hard to raise funds to cover our remaining expenses.
Student Senate has been our greatest contributor for every event we have ever sponsored at the University of Kansas, and we could not be more thankful for their tremendous support. Student Senators work very hard and much of their work goes unrecognized and unappreciated. They deserve our gratitude and support.
After the Finance Committee approved part of our total budget request, our treasurer made a point to thank the Student Senators for their allocation precisely because she did not want them to think that we were disappointed or upset because we did not receive the full amount that we requested. We wish that the reporter had asked our treasurer or members of our organizing committee about how we felt about the allocation because we would have expressed our gratitude.
We also appreciated the coverage that the Kansan has given to the events and we hope to continue positive relationships with both Student Senate and the Kansan.
February Sisters Association Sharon Sullivan, co-founder and president Gail Krotky, vice-president Christine Robinson, co-founder and tresurer Almas Sayeed, public relations director

English and German speakers owe Justin Mills a 'thank you'
Just as Ferris Bueller once stood on a parade float and sang the classic Wayne Newton hit "Danke Schoen," I feel the need to give a big danke schoen to student body president Justin Mills. For the non-German speakers, danke schoen means thank you.
Why does Justin Mills deserve a danke schoen? Simply for saving me and all other KU students from health problems. What health problems? According to the FDA, my fellow students and I already receive the recommended daily allotment of junk mail, and any more than the recommended daily amount has been known to cause high cholesterol and hypertension. Luckily, Mills decided not to give out the students' mailing addresses, saving us from that.
Recently a company called Student Advantage picked KU as a school where it would distribute discount cards. Every student would receive one as long as Mills gave out all the students' mailing addresses. Although Student Advantage claimed that it would not give out the addresses to any solicitors, the promise seemed as empty as Euro Disney. By not giving out the addresses Mills saved everyone a lot of headaches. We KU students get enough

There are times when I feel like the most solicited person on the planet. I'm sure there are others who feel the same way. Here's a run down of my typical day.
runk mail already.
9:00 a.m. - Awaken by phone call that turns out to be robot that sounds genuinely excited to tell me about his new low rate monthly plan on long distance calls.
9:47 a.m. - Offered some sort of yellow booklet on way to class.
12:07 p.m. - Try to pay attention to teacher, but end up staring at an ad on how to save money for grad school. I realize I've memorized it as it is posted in every single one of my classes.
11:13 a.m.- Hear all about the latest foam party from some random person while walking to next class.
4:02 p.m. - Check mail. I get a pre-
approved Dillard's card with my name on it, and I also get to find out what's on sale at Priscilla's.
7:38 p.m. - Answer phone. I get to hear all the perks about subscribing to the Journal-World.
As you can see, I'm already up to date on the next foam party and I already know exactly where to get my next pair of fishnets. Therefore I don't need any more junk mail.
The only benefit of having more junk mail is that it would allow for every man, woman and child at the basketball games to have confetti, rather than just the students and that's small consolation. So danke schoen Justin Mills.
Obviously, a discount card wouldn't be a bad thing, but many students said they wouldn't even use the card. Most students already have a mountain of unused coupon books that they got when they bought their books. I alone probably have enough to give one to each member of the entire student body.
But what good is getting a discount on certain products if it brings to every student their own private hell of junk mail?

PERSPECTIVE
New convert to Green Party tells all
My monthly income is very small. I have often used this fact to justify my practice of an irresponsible brand of parasitic capitalism. Living beyond my means I have supported unethical commercial practices and industries. Each day of my life has brought the consumption of commodities: coffee, fuel, fruit, vegetables, clothing, labor, and land. Every dollar spent is a choice, and often I have chosen poorly - motivated by gluttony and the desire for immediate satiation. More has been my motto, and in service to this ethic I have patronized corporations guilty of extreme exploitation of peoples and ecosystems. From Folgers to Nike to agribusiness corn and potatoes I have literally poisoned the well from which I drink. I have compromised my morals and the long term health of myself and my family in an unwillingness to sacrifice any superfluous pleasures: drugs, Coca Cola, low cost canned goods, fast food, high fashion and Hollywood tribute.
fort and Holywood.
For the most part my self discipline has been at low ebb, and I have been unable to fast. This has slowly begun to change during my stay in Lawrence, and for that I have many and much for which to be thankful. The last months and years have come into resonance and reinforced my ability to withdraw from a self induced culture of over consumption. Nearly two weeks ago I participated in the KU Greens fast in the Kansas Union, and to some degree I continue to fast. From Babylon I have returned, and with the capital that has come to freedom I invest in Eden, in Lawrence, my friends and my neighbors. Buying local, using the dollar to support ethical business practices is not a new concept; but the strength of character, the self discipline required to fast and put these ideas into practice on an extremely limited budget is to me an evolving realization.

Our economy responds to the demand of the consumer. In a very small way the supply of goods and services of the global market adapts to and is affected by the changing demands of the individual. In a very small way. For this reason those of like thinking find it necessary to cooperate in an effort to amplify the effect of their demand. This is done by eliminating the mediating forces that separate the producer and the consumer. In the case of a food coop, like our Community Mercantile, cooperation brings the farmer several steps closer to the shopper, with benefits for both. In the case of the political market, in which politicians are supply votes are dollars, and voters are demand, a grass roots movement has arisen in which the democratic populace, not corporate pressures drive the political process. This movement, this political party, these people call themselves the greens. The green party is the
antithesis of apathetic citizenship, revelling in the ability of a single person to affect change, embracing common goals, and harnessing the power and freedom of the American political process through active citizenship, participatory democracy and holistic capitalism.
Voting for Nader last November, attending his lecture in the Lied Center last April, fasting through late October, and attending last week's KU Greens meeting I was not a member of the green party, but become one only now. I have met and am exploring a sincere and heart felt group of people who have made me feel welcome, and invited my modes of thinking to merge with theirs. This invitation I accept with gratitude and a growing sense of awe and excitement.

WAR ON TERRORISM
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN • 5A
Taliban revolt under control
Many dead, injured after prison uprising quelled by airstrikes
The Associated Press
MAZAR-E-SHARIF. Afghanistan — Dozens of shattered bodies lie in the dusty courtyard of a mud-walled Afghan fortress prison yesterday as the Northern Alliance claimed to have ended a three-day uprising by Taliban prisoners with the help of American airstrikes and U.S. special forces.
U. S. military officials said 30 to 40 men still were holding out in the sprawling Qalai Janghi complex. "It is not yet fully under control," Gen. Tommy Franks, who heads the war effort in Afghanistan, told reporters in Florida.
Northern Alliance troops turned back journalists trying to enter the complex outside the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif on last night, making it impossible to confirm whether fighting
had ended.
But representatives of the international Red Cross said late yesterday they were working to arrange for burials today — an indication the battle had abated.
"The situation is completely under control. All of them were killed," said Alim Razim, political adviser to Gen. Rashid Dostum, the Northern Alliance commander responsible for Qalai Janghi.
The postscript from three days of fighting was grisly; the remains of soldiers from both sides lay around the prison, where non-Afghans who fought alongside the Taliban had been locked up since Sunday.
one television report showed some 60 bodies, believed to be Taliban, scattered across a courtyard. In another spot, a body believed to be that of a Pakistani Talib lay in a ditch, and villagers said he had been strangled with a rope. One man, laughing, picked up the body by its robe and kicked it in the head. Another villager posed over the dead man, holding a knife.
the fighting began Sunday when hundreds of Pakistanis, Chechens, Arabs and other non-Afghans fighting alongside the Taliban were brought to the fortress as part of the weekend surrender of Kunduz, the Islamic militia's last stronghold in the north. Once inside, the men stormed the armory and rose up against their Alliance captors.
Five U.S. soldiers were seriously wounded in the battle Monday when a U.S. bomb went astray, exploding near the Americans. The five were evacuated. Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in Washington. Their names were not released.
U. S. officials were also trying to learn what happened to a CIA operative who was feared killed in the uprising. It wasn't clear whether he had been captured, killed or injured. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Monday in Washington.
Marines land to flush out Taliban
The Associated Press
SOUTHERN AFGHANI STAN — An American flag flew over an Afghan airstrip yesterday as more and more U.S. Marines set up camp in their desert foothold near the Taliban's last bastion.
With the size of the force building, the Marines spent much of yesterday securing their base. Humvees loaded with anti-tank weapons and heavy machine guns rolled out on patrol. In the sands and dunes around the compound. Marines could be seen in the distance at their outposts and mortar rounds could be heard as troops fired rounds to check the range of potential targets.
In Tampa, Fla., the commander of the U.S. war effort, Gen. Tommy Franks, said that by the time the deployment was complete, between 800 and 1,100
Marines would be at the base, located 70 to 80 miles from Kandahar, the last city held by the Taliban.
The military would not say yesterday how many troops had been brought in so far from six ships in the northern Arabian Sea.
Officials in Washington said the Marines — who began arriving Sunday — would help prevent the escape of Afghanistan's Tuliban militia and members of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network holed up in Kandahar, to the east.
The officials in Washington added the Marines would make quick strikes when they could and would help identify targets for U.S. bombings.
Franks said the base was intended "to give us a capability to be an awfully lot closer to the
core objectives we seek”—destruction of the Taliban and al-Qaida. Among the Marines' missions, he said, would be to search out the fleeing Taliban.
While the troops' presence does in fact provide pressure against Kandahar, they were not deployed for an assault on the city, Franks said. The Marines could be stationed at the base for more than 30 days, he said
Capt. Stewart Upton, public affairs officer for the marine task force in Afghanistan, stressed that the mission was not to invade or occupy.
"We are here to rid the people of Afghanistan of the terrorists and to provide them with the peaceful way of life," he said.

Raises not a priority for state legislature

Mike Auchard, president of the KU Classified Senate, enrolled in an economics course this semester through KU's tuition assistance program. "That's one of the benefits the University makes available to all employees." Auchard said. He started school at KU in 1963, and resumed taking courses in 1996.
MIKE AUCHARD: "The state legislature and the governor for quite some time have been reluctant to pass pay increases that are more than the cost of living adjustment."
AMERICA
The majority of classified staff who earn poverty-level wages are custodians, like Johnathan Neal. "In the future, I hope I won't have to be doing this," Neal said. "I want to be going to school."
JOHNATHAN NEAL: "They spend two or three million dollars on a building-why can't they pay us enough to provide for our kids?"
CAROLINE BREWING COMPANY
Dennis Constance, legislative director for the KU Classified Senate, organizes annual lobbying trips to Topeka for KU classified staff. "We take a vacation day, our own time, to do this," Constance said. The Legislative Information Day has not met much success.
DENNIS CONSTANCE:
"I think state employees are taken for granted, for the most part. We are integral not just for the University but all over the state."

of the last legislative
At the end of the last legislative session, classified staff received their smallest increase in 20 years
"It's a declining situation." Constance said.
The politics of poverty
State classified employee wages follow a chart called the "pay matrix," which assigns each employee classification a base pay grade. A raise along the pay grade is called a "step increase."
is called to help KU custodians,
Neal, like other KU custodians,
is assigned to pay grade 11, and he
is currently on the lowest step. His
hourly wage is $8. In 1983 the
corresponding grade offered
$5.83. Neal would earn over $10
an hour if the 1983 wage had kept
up with inflation.
David Burress, associate scientist for the KU Policy Research Institute, said that classified staff's buying power had declined by 50 percent in the last 20 years.
"People in the same situation today have less real income then they did then," Burress said.
they did them. While Gov. Bill Graves abolished the lowest three steps on the pay matrix during the last legislative session, he proposed only a 3 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for state employees. A 1.5 percent increase took effect in June with another 1.5 percent increase scheduled for December.
increase Senate authority Graves and the legislature also did not approve raises this fiscal year.
year.
Some classified staff perceive the legislature as condoning poverty, Constance said, though he doesn't agree with that assertion.
Raises and COLAs are among the last items considered by the legislature, and Classified Senate representatives would like to see employee wages become more of a priority.
"What we get is often influenced by how much is promised elsewhere earlier," Constance said.
Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence,
acknowledged that some KU staff
are frustrated by being considered
last but said it is a procedural
necessity.
“When we're looking at giving more money for whatever, we wait for the closest estimate of what our state revenues will be next year,” Sloan said. “Kansas has a law saying that we cannot deficit spend.”
Sloan said that considering state employee wages last "is the governor's and the legislature's effort not to give them false hope, especially in such bad economic times like now."
That explanation wins little sympathy from Mike Auchard, president of the KU Classified Senate and student housing employee for 16 years. He has worked with Sloan to improve conditions for classified employees.
"During a good part of the 90s, things weren't tight at all," Auchard said. "Instead of trying to use these revenues to make up for the lean years, they used tax abatements to buy votes in the next election."
In the mid- and late 80s when classified staff lobbied the state, Auchard said legislators responded by citing tight fiscal times.
"The state ought to provide employees enough to support a family," he said. "They shouldn't be at or below the poverty level to start with. Given the history of wages, if you start at the poverty level you certainly won't get above it."
Constance said the low pay for classified staff was not just an economic issue, but a moral indignity.
Not enough to pay the bills
Surviving on poverty level wages is even more difficult in Lawrence because of its high cost of living. The Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance recently lobbied the city commission to require businesses receiving city tax abatements to pay a living wage, which the alliance set at a minimum of $9.14 an hour.
The Federal Register ascribes income thresholds based on the number of family members.

Federal poverty guidelines
Hawkins has two other jobs: a weekly route delivering Xtras, a supplemental publication of The Lawrence Journal-World, and she cleans rental homes two days a month to earn $90.
"KPERS is based on our final average salary," Auchard said, "and since our pay raises have not kept pace with the real world, our retirement amounts are going to reflect that."
Although that hourly wage exceeds what many KU classified staff earn, it is not enough, said Jacque Gibbons, associate professor of sociology, anthropology and social work at Kansas State University.
Despite 18 years at the University, Lathrom earns more at HyVee after working there only one year.
Gibbons co-authored a state commissioned report to establish the hourly wage needed to live in different communities in the state
"I suspect a lot of people on the lower side of the pay scale can't afford to live in Lawrence," Gibbs said.
Mary Lathrom is also scrambling to cover her expenses. She works more than 80 hours a week at two full-time jobs: as a custodial supervisor at Ellsworth Hall, and manager of the Italian Express at Hy-Vee, 4000 W. Sixth Street.
Mark Horowitz, Springfield, Mass., graduate student and KVIWA staff member, said Gibbons' study suggested that a minimum living wage in Lawrence would be approximately $13 an hour.
year.
The difference, she said, is that no money for retirement comes out of her Hy-Vee check, while about $45 is deducted from her University pay for the KPERS program.
Custodial supervisor Margaret Hawkins and her retired husband, Mike, reside in Lawrence and are used to living on a low income
Hawkins is in the same pay grade as Johnathan Neal — though on a higher step — and takes home $480 every two weeks, she said.
Scouring newspapers for sales and discounts is a weekly ritual for Hawkins. The调料 she clips determines what they eat.
"You have to count pennies," Hawkins said. "But that's no different than what most people at my pay scale do."

The difference between faculty retirement programs and KPERS is another inequity. Auchard said.
Mike Auchard said KPERS is better than nothing, but not by much.
Melissa Carr/KANSAN
KPERS is a fixed contribution system; for fiscal year 2002, 4 percent of each employee check goes into the program while the state contributes 4.18 percent.
Lathrom estimates that when she retires in eight years, KPERS will provide her with only $600-800 each month.
While she is resigned to her situation — she doesn't mind the work and had few work options without a high school diploma — she encourages younger KU employees to look elsewhere for a job.
"You're not going to go anywhere doing what I'm doing," Hawkins said. "There are no promotions, nowhere to go."
"I don't want to ruin my credit or file for bankruptcy." Lathrom said, "so I'm doing the best I can."
Striving for improvement
Hawkins expects KPERS to provide $350 a month, if she's lucky.
An office assistant in the psychology department, she volunteered for extra responsibilities last year in order to apply for a promotion and a raise. However, KU's human resources department denied the application.
Cindy Sexton said she's traveling the same road to nowhere.
State retirement contributions
"I thought more responsibilities, more duties, equaled more pay," Sexton said. "It didn't quite work out that way."
In contrast, 5.5 percent of each faculty paycheck - which average $65,029 - goes toward retirement while KU contributes another 8.5 percent, and faculty can choose among four companies to manage their funds.
State retirement programs are funded by a combination of employee contributions deducted from each paycheck and state government contributions, equaling a percentage of the employee's pay. Kansas ranks next to last in providing for its employees when its contribution is compared to 24 other state governments.

Lathron works two jobs and rents out her basement apartment to pay her mortgage and repay the medical expenses accrued during the five years her husband lay ill before he died in 1996. He was an employee in the KU maintenance shop for 21 years.
Her after-tax, take-home pay is about $1,100 each month, and goes toward her $450 mortgage, $300 car payments, groceries and other bills. On top of that, her 7-year-old daughter, Chelsea, needs braces. Sexton already has paid $250 for the braces this year. The remaining $3,300 in dental expenses is not covered by her insurance.

Sexton also receives a monthly Social Security Survivor's check after her husband's death four years ago. Even with the extra money, Sexton cleans homes on the side.
In a moment of frustration, Sexton sent an angry e-mail last year to Chancellor Robert Hemenway urging him to protest the legislature's failure to provide raises for classified employees.
Hemenway immediately responded, expressing sympathy for her situation.
"The bottom line is that there are very good arguments to be made to increase the classified employees' salaries." Hemenway said recently. "I'd like to see our classified employees be better paid, but improvements in the system are hard to sell politically without some kind of merit-pay system."
Hemenway established a committee last year to investigate the feasibility of separating the University's classified employees from the state workforce.
But discussion of a merit-based pay system, rather than standard across-the-board raises, met with resistance from classified employees on the chancellor's committee.
"All the classified employees in the state are lumped together," he said, and this makes it difficult to lobby just for those who work for the University.
"We found that many classified employees simply didn't trust a merit system." Hemenway said. "I think you have to have some merit components in whatever system you attempt and I think there are ways to do that and make the system fair for everybody."
Kathy Jansen, vice president of Classified Senate and a procurement officer who's worked at KU for 26 years, served on the taskforce. She agreed that employees don't trust supervisors to give fair raises and evaluations.
"Our system now is called a merit-based pay system, but in reality it's not," Jansen said.
Either everyone is funded a step-increase by the legislature or everyone is denied. She said employees wanted it to stay this way.
"We've existed for a long time in a system with equality if nothing else." Jansen said.
But Constance maintains that the system needs fixing.
"Life is more than a roof over your head, food to eat and clothes on your back," he said. "Most people live for something. You need to be able to go beyond basic expenses to give your life real value and purpose and meaning."
he taught her about when she grows up and goes to college, not about when she grows up and gets married." Sexton said. "Her dad wanted her to play volleyball here at KU. I want her to have a career."
For Cindy Sexton, the meaning in her life is providing a future for her daughter. Chelsea.
Neal also wants his three children to have careers and a better education than his high-school diploma.
In addition to a better life for his kids, Neal has another dream. He wants to be a student in the same classrooms that he cleans in the Art and Design Building. As he pushes his broom every day, he peruses the sketches along the walls drawn by art majors and years to be one of them.
"I just want the privilege to have my drawings up there," Neal said. "I don't want to be a custodian all my life. I'm just doing this because I need a job."
Neal spends work breaks inside his janitor's closet, where among the rags, brooms and mops are instructional books on art. Beside his chair is a portfolio case with collections of sketches. In that closet, with a sketch pad propped against his thigh and drawing pencil in hand, Neal may be as close to his dream as he will ever afford.

THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 26, 2001
What's News- In Business and Finance
Top U.S. retailers opened the holiday-shopping season Friday with expanded hours and some of the most aggressive discounts and early-bird specials in recent years in hope of getting consumers back in the buying mood.
So how'd they do? Not great. Shoppers didn't show up in over-whelming numbers, and their purchases were sensible and selective. Roughly 62.1 million people visited a mall on Friday, an 8.1% decline from last year, according to RCT Systems Inc.'s National Retail Traffic Index, which counts the number of people who come in the doors at a sampling of the nation's 1,500 enclosed malls. At department stores, the decline was steeper, at 12.4%. On Saturday, traffic was down 6.8% in malls, and down 11.6% in department stores.
Holiday Season Gets A Lukewarm Start
But the news wasn't all bad for retail. Some early numbers indicate that online sales are off to a healthy start in this year's holiday shopping season. Figures from Nielsen NetRatings showed that 22% more home Internet users conducted online holiday shopping the day after Thanksgiving, compared with the daily average for Monday through Thursday.
Moreover, demand for PCs and consumer electronics, particularly game consoles and DVD players, was stronger than expected. Last year, PC makers never saw robust demand materialize during the closely watched Thanksgiving shopping weekend. With consumer spending representing two-thirds of the nation's gross domestic product, economists track holiday sales closely.
Now It's Official: Recession's Here
A panel of leading economists, the National Bureau of Economic Research, announced that the longest expansion on record gave way to recession in March.
The announcement could give new urgency to a government debate over the proposed economic-stimulus package. Republicans favor loading the package with tax cuts; Democrats want to boost spending.
Trade Group Fights Microsoft Settlement
A trade association representing competitors of Microsoft Corp. is urging a federal judge in Baltimore to reject a proposed settlement of more than 100 class-action antitrust suits against the company.
The settlement of the suits, which claim that Microsoft abused its monopoly power by overcharging for its computer operating system software, fails to help consumers, said Ed Black, president of the Computer and Communications Industry Association in a letter to U.S. District Court Judge J. Frederick Motz.
The settlement would "do nothing to deter future anticompetitive conduct by Microsoft and would inflict great harm upon the technology markets affected by such conduct," Mr. Black wrote. Microsoft agreed in the settlement to provide more than $1.1 billion in software and computers to over 14,000 of the nation's poorest schools.
Microsoft had no immediate comment. Plaintiffs' attorney Stanley Chesley hadn’t seen Mr. Black’s letter, but said there are provisions in the settlement that would address concerns that Microsoft’s gifts would enable it to dominate the educational software market.

As buyers pounce on Detroit's financing deals for new vehicles, inventories of used cars are pling up, forcing most used-car dealers to slash prices to move vehicles off their lots. But some are holding back and expanding their used-car lineups even more, on a bet that demand for new cars will weaken early next year when the attractive financing offers end.
Consumers are the clear winners in all this. Prices are now some 10% or more below summer levels.
Controversy Erupts Over 'Time Machine'
Many stations use the so-called Time Machine to squeeze more time out of, say, a local news show. But programming that a local station receives from an outside source—a network or a professional sports organization—usually has strict limits on local commercials.
CBS has gotten into a spat with some of its affiliates over a technology that lets TV stations condense shows to slip in more commercials.
Controversy erupted this month when Pittsburgh CBS station KDKA was caught using the Time Machine while broadcasting a pro-football game. Later, CBS learned that other stations it owned were also using the Time Machine to insert additional commercials into prime-time network programs, which also have a limit on advertisements. While CBS declined to comment, a top executive there said all of the CBS-owned stations have been told to stop using the Time Machine in all circumstances.
The Time Machine works by cutting out repetitive video frames. Each second of a television show usually has 30 video frames. But often several of those frames will be identical—a lingering shot of someone standing against a tampost, for example. The Time Machine can remove one of those frames, making the program one-thirtieth of a second shorter. After doing that numerous times, the television station has enough room to squeeze in an additional 20- or 30- second commercial, and viewers don't realize a thing.
Amid stagnant growth in the Internet-access market, America Online said its subscriber base has surpassed 32 million, a net increase of 700,000 since Sept. 30. Brooks Brothers Inc., the icon of high-end American menswear, was bought by Retail Brand Alliance Inc., which runs the Casual Corner women's apparel chain. Volkswagen AG shook up its management structure, reorganizing its broad product lines into two groups—Audi, which will be for sportier cars, and Volkswagen, for cars with a "classic" image.

Early Birds Fare Better In This Job Market
College seniors who procrastinate may worsen their plight, say career-services experts. The best opportunities usually are snapped up well before graduation, especially when the job market is weakening.
But the two were raised very differently. Harry was coddled with close supervision, while Frodo was pretty much ignored. Now they're heading out into the world, and the movie world is waiting to see how their fates will compare.

AOL Time Warner is hoping 'The Fellowship of the Ring' (above) and 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' will spawn film and merchandise franchises for years to come, despite widely differing marketing and production approaches by the films' studios.
Unlike college, where "anything goes" describes the dress code, the work world imposes a host of unwritten rules on attire. Students and new grads can follow these tips to show that they mean business.

AOL Varies Its Tricks With 'Lord of Rings', Harry Potter' Series
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," produced by AOL's Warner Bros. unit, opened Nov. 16 in about 3,670 theaters across the country. In about three weeks, on Dec. 19, AOL's New Line Cinema unit will release "The Fellowship of the Ring," based on J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy about the Hobbit Frodo Baggins.

advanced screenings of "Potter." New Line isn't conducting test screenings of its film, and it won't be shown to critics until early December.
Tolkien's estate has had no involvement in the making of the movie. And New Line's choice of a director, New Zealander Peter Jackson, has been applauded by independent filmmakers, who hail his 1994 thriller, "Heavenly Creatures," even though it earned only $3 million in world-wide ticket sales.
"Once you saw 'Heavenly Creatures,' you knew he had it." says Saul Zaentz, producer of "Lord of the Rings." Mr. Zaentz says Mr. Jackson's command of Tolkien's mythology—the 40-year-old director started reading the books when he was 18—persuaded the producers he had the right "passion" for the project.
Both movies are the first installment in series that will unfold over the next three to six years. In each case, AOL has taken Hollywood's infatuation with sequels to a dizzying new level by creating a film "franchise" before the first movie has established credibility at the box office. Production on "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," the sequel to "Sorcerer's Stone," began days after the movie's release. Warner Bros. acquired the movie rights to the first four Potter books, and it holds an option for the next three. Three "Lord of the Rings" movies have been produced simulata-
neously.
At the same time, Mr. Jackson
By contrast, the fate of "Fellowship of the Ring" remains to be seen. Only about 30 people have seen advanced screenings so far, compared with some 30,000 to 40,000 who saw
wasn't a slave to the Tolkien world: He eliminated Tom Bombadil, a character beloved by fans, because the character didn't fit into the narrative that he and his writing partner, Fran Walsh, had devised.
Young Harry's success is already firmly in hand. The movie, which cost about $125 million to make, plus $40 million for U.S. marketing costs, is fast approaching $200 million in gross receipts in only its first two weeks. Earlier fears about the long shadow that "Potter" creator J.K. Rowling was casting over the production—affecting everything from the choice of director to the design of the Potter merchandise that is hitting store shelves—appear to have been unfounded. Indeed, the film's producer, David Heyman, has attributed much of the film's success to the fact that it hews so closely to the book.
Hobbit-Sized Actors
The track record of Hollywood's other franchise movies has been uneven at best. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's James Bond movies and Paramount Pictures' "Star Trek" movies already number in the double digits. But Warner Bros.' "Lethal Weapon" movies became too expensive after No. 4, and the studio has had problems developing a fifth "Batman" movie. Expectations were high for Universal's comic book-inspired "Darkman," but its two sequels went directly to video.
Mr. Jackson pitched New Line on making "Rings" after Walt Disney Co.'s Miramax pulled out because he wouldn't meet Miramax's demand to condense the three books into a single, two-hour movie. He arrived brandishing conceptual designs from artists Alan Lee and John Howe, who illustrated and provided the covers for the Tolkien books. He also brought a 40-minute tape that showed everything from the misty New Zealand landscape where the movie would be shot to demonstrations of "forced perspective" showing how he would shrink the actors to a Hobbits-sized 3 feet, 6 inches.
New Line spent about $275 million to make the three "Rings" movies, and it's spending at least $30 million more just to market the first one in the U.S. New Line executives have said that more than two-thirds of the production budget has been covered by selling movie distribution and product-licensing rights. The film is scheduled to open in more than 3,000 theaters on Dec. 19.
Some Pout As Lipstick Sees Uptick
BV EMILY NELSON
lipstick sales are red hot. So why is no one smiling?
The reason is that women traditionally turn to lipstick when they cut back on life's other luxuries. They see lipstick, which sells for as little as $1.99 at a supermarket to $20-plus at a department store, as a reasonable indulgence and pick-me-up when they feel they can't afford a whole new outfit. "When lipstick sales go up, people don't want to buy dresses," says Leonard Lauder, chairman of Estée Lauder Cos.
Lauder's Leading Lipstick Index tracks lipstick sales across Estée Lauder's many brands, which account for sales of about half of all prestige cosmetics in the U.S. and include Stila, Origins, Bobbi Brown, MAC and Prescriptives. Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the index is up broadly, says Mr. Lauder. The index also climbed during past recessions, such as in 1990.
MAC factories started running extra shifts to produce more lipstick after Sept. 11. In the past three weeks, sales of MAC lipstick and lip gloss have grown $12\%$ at stores open at least a year, compared with the year earlier.
"It's like getting a haircut. It makes you immediately feel better," says Meredith Foulke, a 21-year-old senior at Auburn University. This year, she doesn't plan on splurging for a new suede handbag, she says, "but there's always lipstick."
Lipstick sales at mass retailers tracked by Information Resources Inc., the market-research firm, rose 11% from August through October compared with a year ago.
Sales of lipstick at Borghese Cosmetics Inc. are also up 12% since mid-September vs. last year, spurred on by saleswomen wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the American flag and the words, "love, peace and lipstick." Company executives in New York designed the T-shirts after noticing shoppers buying lipsticks and expressing "a sense of defiance that they' aren't going to disrupt our lives and take away our simple pleasures," says Georgette Mushober, the New York-based company's chief executive.
Deep, bright lipstick shades are now most popular, while pale, neutral shades aren't selling as well. Ms. Msobacher says. "This is a case of wanting to brighten up ... [lipstick] has always made women feel good.

Inspirational cross country runners brave snow,heat
Sub-freezing temperatures should signal that it's time to head indoors, snuggle up on the couch and start watching college basketball 23 hours per day.
Sadly, that's been the story of my semester, with the lone exception of going to basketball games, which replaced football, volleyball and soccer. So instead of taking it easy this winter, it's time for me to tackle a new challenge: to stop becoming a fat ass.
It should be time to take a break from exercising, take a break from being healthy and just enjoy being lazy until March when the weather warms up again.
After spending the semester hard at work keeping local downtown establishments in business, hanging out at a friend's house that has a bar in the living room and ignorantly bypassing the extended warmth this fall, I decided that Monday's 44-degree weather would be the ideal time to start exercising.
I simply waited three-and-a-half months to start running again so I could add seven pounds of "warmth" to my muscular physique and be ready to handle the bitter-cold Lawrence weather.
But now I'm ready to get in shape again and I encourage you all to join me. Besides, let's be honest, we could all use a little exercise in the wake of Thanksgiving. With the weather becoming chilly and some added insulation on the belly, there's no better time to start. Winter is the ideal season to run. Summers are great, but cold weather truly tests a runner's commitment.
Fortunately we have some good role models at KU whose dedication should inspire us to take the next few months seriously. Kansas cross country runners do this year-round. Rain or shine, deathly hot or freezing cold, they always run.
In 20-degree weather and thick snowfall you'll surely see seniors Brent Behrens, Brian Blachly and Charlie Gruber dashing across campus and around town — in shorts — leaving their tracks in the snow.
In a heavy downpour you'll probably see sophomores Laura Lavie and Lauren Brownrigg and freshman Jennifer Duffy sloshing through the mud as they conquer a routine eight-mile workout.
You also won't find an ounce of flab on any of them. They don't take three months off, one month off or even a full week off — ever. Distance running is always in season, and if you snooze, you lose. You'll only find them downtown for minutes at a time as they glide down the sidewalk, turn the corner, shorten their strides and charge back up Mount Oread.
Theirs Is a diet of pasta and peanut butter and jelly, not 50 chicken wings and a pitcher of Boulevard Wheat at jefferson's.
Year-round dedication to their sport and a healthy lifestyle is why they aren't getting fat like me and many of the rest of us. It's also why they could take time off to watch basketball and become lazy slobs and they'd still be in better shape than most of us.
But they're better than that, and it's about time we start following their lead, conquer the cold and get back in shape.

Pittsburg State game to give gauge of trios' progress, Simien out with injury
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Roy Williams has operated on a steeper learning curve with his freshman this season.
The Kansas men's basketball coach's four freshmen, Aaron Miles, Keith Langford, Michael Lee and Wayne Simien, each are major contributors, and Williams said the freshmen have had plenty to learn about the Kansas (2-1) system.

“This Year Aaron, Wayne and Keith have all had to do more learning, and things have been more shaky for the freshmen,” Williams said.
“We have to go back and cover things over and over again, but that's just part of the teaching process. The process is still going on.”
Simien, who Williams said was Kansas' most consistent freshman in the preseason, was missing from the Jayhawk lineup in Maui. Simien tore ligaments in his left knee in practice two weeks ago. Williams said Simien had been participating in non-contact drills in practice this week and wouldn't see action tonight.
Miles and Langford each played pivotal roles in Kansas' three games in the Maui Invitational last week. Langford averaged 11.3 points and Miles led the team with 19 assists. Lee came off the bench and gave the Jayhawks depth in the backcourt.

Allen says program grew in his 5 years
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
According to Terry Allen, the new Kansas football coach will enter a better situation than he did when he took the job five years ago.
From both a talent and facility standpoint, Allen said he left the program better than he found it.
When Allen came to Lawrence in December of 1996, it had been nearly 20 years since a substantial amount of money had been devoted to the football program and aging stadium. In recent years, that pattern has changed dramatically.
In 1999, a two-year, $26 million renovation project was completed at Memorial Stadium. The project included extensive infrastructure repairs, new concession stands and restrooms, a new home locker room and a larger press box equipped with 36 new scholarship suites. The 1999 season also brought the debut of the video board in the south endzone.

HOROSCOPES
弓
Today's Birthday (Nov. 28).
Past promises have a burden.
Make them into your reason to get stronger this year. This won't be easy. You'll have to work at it. Whip yourself into shape. If all that stuff had been fun, or easy to figure out, you would have done it by now. You're not only following through, you're also building a strong foundation to support the vision you will manifest next.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
There's the dream, and then there's the reality. You've already got the former, and now it's time to work on the latter. This may not seem like much fun, but it rather exciting. The more you learn, the more possible it all starts to become. Make the commitment. You'll be astonished at how things will start falling into place.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
You're getting stronger, more confident,
more difficult to push around, more determined to get what you want, more certain of what that is. You won't get it all, but you'll do fine. Hang tough.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7. Settle down and do the planning. True, there's a lot to be done. That's why you must set priorities. If you don't, you'll get squashed. You can't be everything for everybody.
Cancer (June 22- July 22). Today is a 7.
There's not much time to meet with friends,
but you can fit it in. Lunch at a favorite
place, with a few favorite people, will tune
you right up. Then, back into the fray. You
can't do everything, but you can sure
accomplish a lot.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22). Today is a 7. Look sharp and stand at attention. If your conscience is clear, you'll have nothing to hide. It's a good idea to have the facts at your fingertips. Better memorize the most important ones.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22). Today is a 7.
You'd better start out by spending some time on scheduling. Otherwise, you'll never get everything done. And don't concentrate entirely on work. There are a couple of important personal matters you also need to fit in.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
This is a good day to save money, which means it's a good day to go shopping. You'll be less interested in splurging on every pretty thing you see—unless it's on sale, of course.
P
Crab
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
You're attractive, and the other person is attracted, but that's not enough. There's something keeping you apart, and it may be a very good reason. Show good judgment, integrity and restraint. If this person really is your soulmate, waiting will just make getting together (when the time is right) sweeter.
2
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is 7.
There's a lot more work now and a few more problems. You're running into new difficulties because you've expanded into new territory. It's forcing you to learn.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
Better check your schedule. Are you
scheduled to be in two places at once? It
might be time to shuffle things in your date
book.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
Some sort of breakdown or mess at home
diverts your attention. You don't have time
to deal with it now, but it's hard to ignore.
You may have to try several things before
you find one that works. Be patient.
Ballet
LOVENBURG
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
If you just took on new responsibilities, you may be a tad apprehensive. It may seem as if there's too much material to learn in too little time. Luckily, you'll be able to concentrate once you settle down. Reschedule an outing for next week.

Tigers out of bowl game ready to take on Spartans
Bathroom
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Just like last year, there will be no bowl game for Gary Pinkel.
The Associated Press
Last year, Pinkel's Toledo Rockets went 10-1 and still didn't manage to score a postseason invitation.
This year, in his first season at Missouri, the Tigers are 4-6 after last weekend's 24-3 loss at Kansas State, mathematically out of the bowl game matchmaking heading into the season finale at Michigan State on Saturday.
Still, even without the prospect of the postseason, Pinkel said he didn't — or shouldn't — have any trouble getting his team ready.
any trouble genius can have.
"I think if you have to convince a player to go out and compete and be motivated to play football, then there's definitely something wrong," Pinkel said. "Our guys will be ready to play; they're going to each have to find motivation inside themselves."
Missouri can play spoiler against the Spartans, who, at 5-5, are one win away from being bowl eligible. But Michigan State has been one win away for three weeks, having posted consecutive losses to Indiana, Purdue and Penn State.
"It was a very, very disappointing loss," Michigan State coach Bobby Williams said after the Spartans'
42-37 loss to Penn State last weekend. "Now our whole season comes down to one game. We're down to one game and we'll be looking forward to playing that game next week."

Without a bowl game bid to play at stake, A.J. Ricker said his motivation to play well Saturday are three other players on the offensive line — it's the final game for seniors Aaron Crittendon, Justin Bland and Mike Hayes.

Colorado linebacker hurt in assault
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado linebacker Drew Wahloroos had a career day in the Buffaloes' 62-36 win over Nebraska last week. He wasn't so lucky that night.
Wahlroos, 21. said Monday that five Nebraska fans assaulted him outside a bar after the game, fracturing his nose and giving him a black eye.
Wahlroos was reluctant to report the scuffle, saying it was partially his fault. But an emergency room nurse at Boulder Community Hospital where he sought treatment Saturday afternoon notified police.

According to a police report, Wahlroos was celebrating his team's big win against second-ranked Nebraska at the Bustop Gentlemen's Club when he stepped outside and got into an argument with five men.
"It was nothing, really," said Wahlroos, who won't press charges. "I was at the wrong place at the wrong time."
"I heard someone say something to my left, and I got hit from my right," Wahlroos said. "It was a long night."

When the linebacker's friends came outside, the attackers ran south. At least two of the attackers were wearing red Nebraska shirts, police reports said. They were all white men in their early 20s.
The Bustop's general manager, Craig Scheetz, said several rowdy Nebraska fans were asked to leave the club between 9 and 9:30 p.m.
Wahlroos, at 263 pounds, was named the Big 12's defensive player of the week earlier this season. During Friday's game, he forced a fumble that the Buffs recovered on the Nebraska 21-yard line in the first quarter. The fumble recovery led to a touchdown on the next play.

SAN FRANCISCO — A trial will decide who owns the baseball Barry Bonds hit for his record-setting 73rd homer, the fan who appeared to catch it or the man who took it home after a tussle.
Alex Popov, who owns an eatery near the University of California at Berkeley, contends he was robbed of the ball while being mobbed by fans clamoring for a piece of baseball history.
Patrick Hayashi, an electrical engineer and marketer at a Silicon Valley company, says he found the ball loose during the skirmish and that it belongs to him.

TRACK AND FIELD High jumper's drug tests turn up conflicting results
MONACO, Monte Garlo — Track's international federation is investigating why two parts of a drug test on high-jump champion Javier Sotomayor produced markedly different results.
The International Association of Athletic Federations council was told that the first part of the 1992 Olympic champion's sample tested positive for the steroid nandrolone after a July 14 meet in Spain. But the second part showed 50 percent less of the drug.
"He cannot be declared positive," IAAF spokesman Giorgio Reniari said.

Allen: Team has improved skill
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Terry Allen spends a moment with senior guard Jason Stevenson during warmups before Allen's last game on Nov. 3.
Several other freshmen played important roles for Kansas this season. Place kicker Johnny Beck was among the conference leaders with 14 field goals in 20 attempts, including a 59-yarder that was the second longest kick in school history. Defensive end Travis Watkins and linebacker Banks Floodman earned their way into the starting lineup on the defensive side of the ball and receiver Brandon Rideau caught his first career touchdown pass against Wyoming.
"We matured a lot," Kinsey said. "As the season progressed we really learned a lot of things and now we know each other and what we can expect from everybody."
Of course problems will await the new coach. Replacements must be found for defensive standouts Algie Atkinson. Andrew Davison, Nate Dwyer and Marcus Rogers, all of whom will likely be in NFL training camps when Kansas begins practice next season.
Kansas ranked last in the Big 12 Conference in both offense and defense as it finished the season 3-8, including a school-record tying five home losses.
The 'Hawks losing season, their sixth straight and fifth in a row under Allen, resulted in
Allen's firing on Nov 4.
"It's a much better job now with the additions and work on the stadium and all the other things we were able to work to accomplish," Allen said.
As Kansas awaits word on the coaching search from athletic director Al Bohl. Allen is waiting to find out what his future holds. Allen, who is still living in Lawrence, refused to speak about the specifics of his job search, but remained optimistic that he would return to coaching.
"It's pretty early still." Allen said yesterday. "We're just keeping our car to the wind and we'll wait to find out what comes next."

Kinsey, who established a new passing-yardage record for freshmen at Kansas with 1,215 yards, said the experience the young players received this year would pay off in the future.
Not only are the facilities in better condition, but Allen said the new coach will find a better core of talent than he did.
"I don't know that the depth is there," Allen "But I think the skill positions returning are much better than we had to work with."
The Jayhawks' starting backfield consisted of two freshmen and a sophomore this season. Quarterback Mario Kinsey and fullback Austine Nwabiusi will only be sophomores next season, while tailback Reggie Duncan still has two years of eligibility.

The Blue Devils (5-0) got contributions from just about everyone, and served notice they can be as dominant as last season's NCAA championship squad — even without Shane Battier.

Jason Williams scored 25 points and had five assists, and Carlos Boozer had his third straight double-double, scoring 22 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. Chris Duhon had 11 assists to go with his nine points — including a nice alley-oop feed to Williams.
Mike Dunleavey had 18 points, going 3-of-7 from 3-point range.
Iowa (4-2) cut the lead to 73-

But it takes more than a physical game to derail Duke.
The Hawkeyes won four games in as many days at the United Center last March and captured the Big Ten Tournament title, and the pro- Iowa crowd sensed another big victory as Duke got off to a sluggish start.
In the first eight minutes, the Blue Devils turned the ball over five times and were out rebounded a whipping 15-5. And when Chicago native Ryan Hogan hit a 15-foot jumper to spark a 7-0 run that gave Iowa a 17-14 lead with 10:35 left in the first half, the crowd was on its feet and roaring.
Recker responded with a pull-up jumper, but Duhon came right back with another 3.
But in a two-minute span, Duke took control of the game. After Ryan Hogan connected on a short jumper, Duhon hit a 3-pointer from the left corner.
Then Williams picked off a bad pass by Pierre Pierce and raced downcourt for the easy dunk. Just like that, Duke had a 30-23 lead with 4:45 to play in the first half.

The Blue Devils didn't let up at all after halftime, and Dunleavy sparked a 10-2 run with another 3. Williams capped the spurt with another 3-pointer, and Duke had a 51-54 lead with 17.01 to play.

It was the 80th consecutive non-conference home victory for Maryland, the longest such run in the nation. It was also the Terrapins' fourth straight win overall after a season-opening defeat against Arizona.
"This is good for us to get this big game early in the year. It let
people know that we're for real," Dixon said. "I guess a lot of people counted us out after we lost to Arizona, but we did well today."
After the Terrapins (4-1) went up by 12 at halftime. Dixon scored seven points in a 10-2 run at the outset of the second half to make it 51-31.

The comeback was aided by poor free throw shooting by Maryland, which finished 12 for-42 at the line. The Fighting Illini closed to 66-58 with 2:56 left,
even after leading rebounder Brian Cook fouled out with 5:11 left.
Chris Wilcox scored in the lane, then made one of two free throws on Maryland's next possession for an 11-point cushion.
At that point, the Cole Field House crowd began chanting, "ACC! ACC!"
"The hardest thing to do in basketball is play with the lead." Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "But I thought we did a good job of that in the late part of the game. You try and stay aggressive, and you try to run some clock."
Wilcox scored 19 points and six rebounds off the bench for Maryland, which beat a top five team for the first time since 1998.
"Wilcox just owned us inside." Illinois coach Boll Self said.
Blandon Ferguson had 11 points for Illinois, which three days earlier won the Las Vegas Invitational and was off to its best start in six years. But on this
night, the Illini looked rather ordinary.
The Terrapins have not lost at Cole Field House since falling to Coppin State on Dec. 12, 1989. The streak began 18 days later against Alcorn State.
"We're not very good yet," Self said. "We were exposed. We don't trust each other much. But give Maryland credit — that was a 13-point game that felt like it could be 25."
"It's one of those things that kind of sneaks up on you," Williams said. "You don't really look at it too much. I know I don't."
Illinois was the highest-ranked non-conference team the Terrapins faced at home since they upset No.1 Notre Dame in 1979.
"It is November." Williams said, "but it's good for November."

"I thought he was trying to set me up for a jump shot," Jones said. "It was my fault. He beat me. He blew by me."

Buffs' coach wins Big 12 honor
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Gary Barnett, on the Colorado staff when the school won its loneliness championship in 1990, came back to Colorado as head coach in 1999 with the slogan "Return to Dominance."
It took three seasons, but even Barnett couldn't have imagined this.
Coming off a 3-8 season,
Barnett t guided the
Buffaloes to a
CUJ
9-2 record, including a shocking 62-36 win against Nebraska on Friday, and into the Big 12 championship game this weekend against Texas.
For his accomplishments, he was named Big 12 Coach of the Year yesterday by The Associated Press.
In balloting by 20 beat writers from the league's seven states, Barnett received 19 votes. Nebraska's
Frank Solich received the other.
"That's an honor," said Barnett, 55. "Anytime something like this happens, it happens because of what your players and your coaches do. As head coaches, we get way too much credit and probably too much blame in all this process. But it's very gratifying to hear that news. I thank the voters."
Skillfully pushing all the right buttons, Barnett rallied his team after a season-opening loss to Fresno State that had some fans and the media calling for his dismissal.
The next week, the Buffs dominated — there's that word again— in-state rival Colorado State 41-14 and started a five-game winning streak that included a 16-6 road win over Kansas State and a 31-21 decision over Texas A&M.
After stumbling badly at Texas — losing 41-7 thanks to four turnovers — the Buffers rebounded to win their next three games, all in come-from-behind fashion and
all with backup Bobby Pesavento at quarterback. Then came the Nebraska game, in which Chris Brown ran through huge holes in the vaunted Cornhusker defense and scored six touchdowns.
"It's an amazing turnaround," Pesavento said after the Nebraska game.
They accomplished the turnaround with a solid defense and a balanced offense, in particular a relentless running attack with four tailbacks sharing time behind a talented offensive line.
They also did it by overcoming injuries to their starting quarterback, Craig Ochs, their best defensive player, linebacker Jashon Syke, and their top receiver John Minardi.
"If you had told me at the start of the season we were going to play only four games with Minardi and Sykes and six with Ochs, I would have said we'd be lucky to be 5-5 going into the Nebraska game." Barnett said. "The
unree guys who couldn't get hurt were Minardi, Sykes and Ochs.
"Other guys have stepped up, and everybody else elevated their play."
"We didn't pay any attention to what was written or said about us," Barnett said. "We put a shield up. If anything, it brought us real close together."
Barnett, who took a moribund Northwestern program and led the Wildcats to the Rose Bowl in 1995, managed to refocus his team after the loss to Fresno State.
Barnett also used the psychological play of taking captains Michael Lewis and Andre Gurode to Texas Stadium — site of the Big 12 championship game
— during conference media days in July, then telling the assembled media the Buffs' season would be a "failure" if they didn't return to play in the title game.
Many of the media scoffed, but his players believed him.
Nittany Lions bounces back from weak start
The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Talk about a turnaround. After its worst start ever, Penn State is one win away from its greatest comeback and a likely berth in another bowl game.
A victory by the Nittany Lions at Virginia on Saturday would cap a season-ending 6-1 run, a featha'
Penn State
was inconceivable to most during a 0-4 start.
"Right now, our team's on a hot streak, and I think right now we can't be stopped," wide receiver Tony Johnson said.
it's a far cry from where the Nittany Lions started the season. Even before the opening game,
there were questions about a young defense and an untested quarterback, and fans were worried that Penn State might face a second consecutive losing season.
Expectations then went from bad to worse. Penn State was averaging fewer than 41 rushing yards and 8 points per game, and had scored just 5 first-half points all season. Some were even talking about the unthinkable — that the Nittany Lions could finish 0-11.
But where fans saw only dropped passes and missed tackles, coach Joe Paterno saw his team's inexperience showing in silly penalties and tentative play. Paterno became more active in practice, even showing players how best to block and tackle.
The results were obvious at Northwestern on Oct. 20.
Receivers who had dropped passes all season were suddenly catching everything thrown their way. A Power-I set — something Paterno hadn't used in 30 years — rejuvenated the running game. Quarterback Matt Senneca led comeback after comeback, bringing Penn State within 35-31 in the game's final minutes.
And when Senneca was injured with 1:39 left, redshirt freshman Zack Mills came into the huddle and calmly led the game-winning drive.
"It all goes back to the Northwestern game — that's when the offense started making plays." free safety Shawn Mayer said. "And the week after that, when they continued to make plays, I thought that was a huge sign saying that we can do this. I think it was those two weeks right there — proof that we can play."
That victory was Paterno's 323rd, tying Bear Bryant for the most by a Division I-A coach. It also started the comeback that has simply confirmed what Paterno felt all along.
"I think we've improved, obviously we have. But I don't think we were that bad to begin with," Paterno said. "I think we just had some tough opponents and we did some things where we hurt ourselves with foolish penalties."
Since the bye week, Penn State has averaged 165 rushing yards per game, and both Mills and Senneca have been throwing more accurately. More important, the Nittany Lions have boosted their scoring to almost 34 points per game. Penn State's only loss was a 33-28 slip at Big Ten champion Illinois.

Reba hits platinum with sitcom
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Reba is in ajam
NEWYORK — Reba is in a jam.
Not Reba McEntire, the Reba who reigns as queen of Nashville, toast of Broadway and instant sit-com star.
No, it's Reba Hart — the Houston soccer mom of McEntire's new WB comedy — who's the Reba with a mess of problems.
Besides two rambunctious younger kids, this newly minted Reba has a teen-age daughter who's pregnant and sharing her room at the Hart homestead with her boyfriend-turned-husband.
Meanwhile, Reba's soon-to-be-ex-husband, a dentist, has dumped his wife of 20 years for his giggly hygienist, who happens to be carrying his child.
Broken family, accidental families — a summary of *Reba* (airing Friday at 8 p.m.) makes it seem more like a prime-time soap than a sitcom.
A bit extreme for a family comedy? Nope, McEntire said.
"That's life," she declared in her "i!"-stretching Oklahoma twang. "That's a country song. I've sung about it all, from AIDS to child abuse to wife abuse. My fans sure weren't surprised by the show."
Fair enough. But Reba caught everyone else by surprise, doubling the WB audience in that time slot from last year and quickly winning a full-season order. Reba proved funny and honest. It also proved that a TV-series newcomer could carry a sitcom like an old hand.
But why would she bother?
At 46, this full-throated singer with the penetrating stare has long been country's top-selling female artist with more than 45 million records sold.
She already had acted in TV films including the 1995 miniseries Buffalo Girls (co-starring Melanie Griffith and Anjelica
Huston) and in feature films including The Little Rascals and the recent One Night at McCool's.
In May, Reba was chosen for the WB's fall schedule. Then, in August, production began. McEntire shakes her head in wonderment.
"It was going to be a really slow year until all this happened," McEntire said.
Playing Reba Hart, McEnlite exudes a make-the-best-of-life pluck that warms the viewer's heart. Her down-home authenticity makes Reba fun to watch.
But never fear: With a greatest-hits album just released and a tour planned for next summer, McEntire hasn't abdicated her country-music throne.
"I'm not deserting anybody," she said. "I'm just having a lot of fun and hopefully bringing more people into our country family."

Pittsburg: Teams to meet again
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Simien is expected to continue to progress in practice this week and could be ready for Saturday's game at No. 4 Arizona.
CHRIS BURKET/KANSAN
Before the top-10 battle on Saturday, the Jayhawks must take care of the Pittsburg State Gorillas. Kansas last played Pittsburg State two years ago and defeated the Gorillas 96-71.
22
Pittsburg State coach Gene Iba said the Gorillas were excited about Kansas.
Seven native Kansans play for Pittsburg State, but only senior Jeff Williams was old enough to have faced the Jayhawks in 1999.
"They do an exceedingly good job at a number of things," Iba said, "I'm not sure people realize how quickly they get the ball from the defensive board to the other end. Hopefully we'll be able to put up a roadblock of some kind or we'll be looking at some big-time numbers."
Wayne Simien, freshman forward, slams the ball at the beginning of the second half against Fort Hays State. Kansas coach Roy Williams said Simien was the most consistent freshman in the preseason. Simien had knee surgery two weeks ago for torn ligaments in his left knee.
■ Kansas dropped to No. 7 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll and to No. 8 in the Associated Press poll Monday. Arizona, Kansas' opponent on Saturday, has made the biggest jump in the polls. The Wildcats have gone from being unranked to No. 3 in the ESPN/USA Today poll and No. 4 in the AP poll this week.

Football: Ability attracts NFL

Kansas State and Texas.
He said Hartwig had always been a solid pass blocker, but he raised his level of physical play. Hartwig peaked at the right time.
And this attracted the attention of NFL teams, Pittman said.
"You could always trust him, but he certainly improved," Pittman said. "He got more comfortable and the pro scouts took an interest in him. His lifelong dream has been to play in the NFL, and he's as good as some of the guys that are there that I have coached."
Pittman coached Jason Fabini at the University of Cincinnati in 1996. He is now the starting left tackle for the New York Jets. Pittman coached Stockar McDougle at Alabama from 1997-98. He was the 20th pick of the Detroit Lions in 2000 and has worked his way in and out of the Lions' starting
lineup the past two seasons.
Pittman said even though Hartwig might not be a firstday selection in April's NFL Draft, he had the toughness, talent and intelligence to survive at the next level.
"I see him probably going in the mid to late rounds," Pitman said. "But he has what it takes to play on Sundays."

Pittsburg State prepares for fieldhouse
Pittsburg State University men's basketball team's first road test of the season is tonight against the Kansas Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Gorillas are averaging 1,017 fans at their four home games this season, well below the 16,300 Kansas fans that consistently pack the fieldhouse.
Pittsburg State enters tonight's game with a 3-1 record. The team's only defeat was a 65-60 loss to Northeastern State on November 21. The Gorillas are coming off a 93-69 win against Sterling College on Saturday. Junior guard Cedric Brooks led the Gorillas with 30 points in the win.
The Gorillas play in the Mid- America Intercollegiate Athletics Association conference and are a Division-II team.
Seven players on the Pittsburg State roster are from Kansas, including starters Max Ruark and Kurtis Howel.
Ruark, a senior swingman from Coffeyville, leads the team with 7.5 rebounds per game and is averaging 5.8 points. Howel, a sophomore guard from Baxter Springs, has 13 assists and four turnovers in four games this season.
Senior forward Dan Stanley is the team's leading scorer with 16.8 points per game. Stanley also leads the team in assists, tallying 18 so far this season. He was named to the all-conference second team last year.
Rounding out the starting line-up are senior forward Jai Praida and Cedric Brooks. Praida averages 14.8 points and six rebounds per game. Brooks is a transfer from Weatherford College in Weatherford, Texas. He is averaging 15 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.
The Gorillas are led by Coach Gene Iba. Joining Iba on the sideline is graduate assistant Jeff Hafer, who played for the University of Missouri from 1997 to 2000.

KU student constructs innovative space radar
NASA-financed project aims to detect presence of water, ice on Mars
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas graduate student has developed a radar system that may aid NASA in determining whether water exists on Mars.
Carl Leuschen, Omaha, Neb., graduate student in electrical engineering, researched and created the radar system that was financed by a three-year NASA fellowship. The radar connects to a 3-meter antenna that takes underground measurements.
The radar, about the size of a shoe box, could fit along with other equipment in a lander that would land on Mars' surface, Leuschen said.
Leuschen said the possibility of detecting water and ice on Mars interested him. So with the help of his adviser, Prasad Gogineni, distinguished professor of electrical engineering and computer science, he developed a proposal to create and test the radar system.
"I think what he did was outstanding." Gogineni said. "His work will have quite an impact on the analysis of data of Mars."
Leuschen traveled to Fairbanks, Alaska, to test the radar system because the area has frozen soil that might resemble soil on Mars. After gathering data, he returned to Lawrence and discovered the radar worked.
Leuschen said he thought the work paid off.
"It's been a really neat experience," he said. "I learned a lot."
He said he wasn't sure if NASA would use his radar system.
"They make the decision if it is worthwhile to move forward," he said.
Leuschen graduates in December and accepted a staff position at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. He said he would continue working with the radar.
Gogineni said the scientific community recognized Leuschen's work.
"It's a nice recognition for KU to show KU produces high-quality students," he said. "It gives us a high reputation."

Tuition increase discussed
Plans on the table hike costs between 15 and 62 percent starting in fall
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
A tuition increase of 15 to 62 percent will greet incoming freshmen next fall, depending on which University of Kansas strategy for a tuition increase becomes policy.
becomes policy.
Four of the six KU proposals would increase in-state tuition more than $100 per credit hour next fall, and one of those proposals would double freshmen tuition by Fall 2003. KU administrators expect continued tuition increases each year until 2006. The in-state tuition rate per credit hour for this
academic year is $77.75.
Provost David Shulenburger said the tuition increase proposals were drafted in accordance with a request from the Kansas Board of Regents.
Board of Regents The Regents, who oversee all six higher-education institutions in the state, requested that each institution consider tuition increase proposals.
Shulenburger said KU and Kansas State University increases would be similar.
The Regents also encouraged a campus-wide dialogue about any increase; thus, Shulenburger said, students now enrolled would help decide how much the increases would be and whom they would affect.
The tuition increase next year could affect all students,including graduate students,or be limited to incoming freshmen.
Once KU chooses a proposal, Chancellor Robert Hemenway will present that proposal to the Board of Regents in April
Shulenburger will discuss the tuition increases in the first of a series of meetings with each school on campus.
"I'm convinced we're at a crossroads," Shulenburger said, "and unless we increase our resources, it's going to be hard to maintain what we've got and improve the condition of the University."
Janet Murguia, executive vice chancellor for University Relations, said the KU was not trying to put the burden of funding onto the students.
State funding of universities is not expected to increase because of budget shortfalls, Shulenburger said.

Scenario A: Proposal I - Tuition for freshmen entering Fall 2002 increases $48 per credit hour to $125.75 per credit hour.In 2003,freshmen and sophomore tuition will increase another $48 per credit hour to $173.75 per credit hour.All students will pay an increased fee by 2006. Proposal II - Tuition for all students will increase $24 per credit hour each year for four years.

Middle Eastern shops keep on after attacks
By Mike Alzamora and Janet Mason Special to the Kansan
since the sept. 14th. Mediterranean Market & Cafe, Aladdin Cafe and Casablanca Restaurant have all received support from the community, and none of them worry about vandalism.
Three Middle Eastern businesses in Lawrence have overcome tough times since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Al-Zaiti, an American citizen of Jordanian decent, said Lawrence Chief of Police Ron Olin had stopped by his business in the week following Sept. 11. Olin expressed his concern and reassured Al-Zaita that his
"I felt really safe because a lot of people support us," said Mohammad Al-Zaiti, owner of the Mediterranean Market & Cafe, 3300 W. 15th St. "They wanted to make sure that we didn't get harassed or anything like that."
business would be protected.
Before the attacks, business had slowed because of the bad economy, Al-Zaita said. After the attacks, business dropped about 25 to 35 percent.
29 to 35 percent.
Al-Zaiti said the two weeks following Sept. 11 were a grieving period for everyone and it appeared as if the public was not eating out as much.
"A lot of my friends, they have restaurants as well," he said. "They had the same problem. They said their business went down. A lot of people lost their jobs."
Since the war in Afghanistan started in early October, his business has picked back up, but not to the pre-Sept. 11 levels.
Atthe Aladdin Cafe,1021 Massachusetts St.,owner Mohammed Iskandrani said he also had slow business following the terrorist attacks. The community eventually came
back, said Iskandrani, who also is an American citizen of Jordanian descent.
"My regular customers started to come in more and more," he said. "They were trying to be really friendly about it. That made me feel good."
Some customers went as far as writing supportive comments on the tickets, and Iskandrani said that some even sent flowers.
iskandrani said that some of his customers Casablanca Restaurant, 2223 Louisiana St., opened its doors Nov. 12 in the former home of Casablanca Cafe. Owners Cindy Ross and Rick Yameen said that the attacks did not interfere with the opening of the restaurant. Ross, of Lebanese descent, said she worried about the short-term effects of the declining economy.
Yameen, on the other hand, is optimistic about the economy.

New director plans to restore Topeka Zoo's accreditation
TOPEKA — A 30-year employee of the Topeka Zoo has been hired as its director and has promised to restore the zoo's accreditation.
Mike Coker, who had been serving as acting director since June, beat out 23 other applicants from around the country.
"My agenda is to bring the zoo back to where it was," Coker said Tuesday.
Coker said he would continue working toward re-establishing the zoo's accreditation with the American Zoo and Aquarium Association.
In the next few years, Coker said, visitors will see a new orangutan exhibit, an elephant pool and a zoo education center.
Coker also said he planned to reestablish the zoo docents program, which was canceled by his predecessor, David Mask, who was fired in June. Docents volunteers give zoo tours and provide other services.

Last September, after repeated warnings, the AZA let the Topeka Zoo's accreditation lapse. The city has filed an appeal. If it is not approved, the city will have to reapply for accreditation.

DNA leads to conviction in murder, rape case from 1972
HOWELL, Mich. — DNA lifted from cigarette butts led to a man's conviction yesterday in the rape and murder of a young mother nearly 29 years ago.
Jerald L. Wingeart, 60, was found guilty of killing Dawn Lee Magyar, then 20, who was abducted from a shopping mall, raped and shot in the head and back. Wingeart faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
After Magyar disappeared, nearly 4,000 volunteers joined a search, but it wasn't until two months later that her frozen body was discovered in a forest by farmers.
A gun was found in a river in 1974, and two years later police found Magyar's wallet on a nearby riverbank, but there were few leads.
In the mid-1990s, as part of a review of unsolved police, police re-examined the case and focused on the gun. One of its owners told police he suspected Wingeart — who had been convicted of armed robbery and raping a blind university student — had taken it.

Mystery surrounds Taliban's latest uprising in Afghanistan
The Associated Press
QALAI JANGHI FORTRESS, Afghanistan — Corpses with bound hands, dust mixed with dried blood, spent mortar rounds littering fields where horses grazed: No part of this massive fortress was left unstained by death in one of the most ferocious battles of the war on the Taliban.
the tahab.
In a field strew with about 50 bodies, an Associated Press photographer yesterday saw that some corpses had their arms tied with cloth — contrary to claims by a key Northern Alliance commander that none had been tied up.
Full details may never be known of the uprising by Taliban who were being held prisoner at Qalai Janghi fortress near the city of Mazar-e-Sharif or of the fierce assault that ended the rebellion. Red Cross workers yesterday began hauling bodies away, and with the remains likely went much of the evidence of what happened.

The questions include how the prisoners — including Pakistaniis, Chechens, Arabs and other non-Afghans — got access to weapons.

of died in the battle. Nearly all the Taliban prisoners involved in the uprising were killed, alliance officials say — perhaps around 450 fighters, though the precise number was uncertain.
precise number was uncertain.
The uprising was put down with the help of U.S. airstrikes, U.S. special forces and other covert troops believed to be British. At the Pentagon yesterday, Adm. John Stufflebeem said American officials do not have a clear picture of what happened. "There's a lot of questions that obviously need to be asked or answers that need to be obtained as to how that came about, or how that can be prevented in the future."
What is known is that the uprising began on Sunday and lasted three days—another chapter in the bloody history of Mazar-e-Sharif, a city that has swapped hands repeatedly since 1997. It was the first major city to fall from Taliban control under the U.S.onslaught on Afghanistan aimed at rooting out Osama bin Laden and his terror network.
Choosing confession or solitude
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court justices considered this prison scene: jailers going cell-to-cell with notepads asking inmates to confess past crimes or forfeit their prison privileges.
Kansas does that to sex offenders in rehabilitation, an inmate lawyer argued yesterday.
As part of therapy, rapists and other offenders must list all their past sex crimes, the information usable for fresh prosecutions. Those who refuse go into in maximum security.
"No TV? ... No recreation? No softball?" Justice Anthony M. Kennedy asked. "Isn't there a danger of inducing innocent people to confess?"
An appeals court ruled the practice unconstitutional. The Supreme Court may use the to determine how far the government can go to rehabilitate inmates without violating constitutional rights.
Kansas argues it is protecting the public because sex offenders have a high likelihood of repeating their crimes. The Bush administration and other states also want justices to use the case to extend prison authority.
No one has been prosecuted with information given to counselors. Kansas does not give prisoners immunity for shared information.
prisoners minority. The case turns on inmate Robert Lile's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Lile has been in prison since 1983 for raping a young woman. He claims the sex was consensual.
When he was ordered to begin the program in 1994, Lile was told to sign papers admitting guilt in the crimes he was convicted of and to fill out a form that listed his sexual history, including names of any victims. Prison staff members use lie detector tests to check accuracy.
When Lile refused, his security classification changed, which means fewer visitors, no personal television, limited work and recreation opportunities and restrictions on what he can keep in his cell.

Detective testifies that woman confessed to killing her kids
NATION
WHEATON, III. — A detective testified yesterday that a mother hospitalized with self-inflicted wounds admitted killing her three children and described how they gasped for air as she suffocated them with her bare hands.
Marilyn Lemak, 44, is on trial in the slaying of her children, Nicholas, 7, Emily, 6, and Thomas, 3. She could get the death penalty if convicted.
Cross said Lernak described in vivid detail how she drugged and suffocated the youngsters at her home in Naperville in 1999. The drugged children were hallucinating before she "put her hand over their mouths and pinched their noses to suffocate them," Cross testified.
Prosecutors contend the former surgical nurse killed in a fit of rage and jealousy over her failing marriage, then tried to kill herself with drugs and by slitting her wrists.
Defense attorney Joe Bugs told the jury in his opening statement Tuesday that Lemak's actions were those a distraught woman on medication and going into depression. Earlier yesterday, Dr.David Lemak testified how he rushed home after his wife called 911, and learned from an officer that his three children were dead.
Since the deaths, he has divorced his wife.
Eradication of syphilis nears as number of cases decreases
ATLANTA - Syphilis infections dropped to an all-time low in the United States last year, with fewer than 6.000 cases of the sexually transmitted disease reported nationwide, the government said yesterday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 5,979 cases were recorded last year,down nearly 10 percent from 1999 and 30 percent since the government announced a plan three years ago to eradicate syphilis.
The government wants to cut annual cases to fewer than 1,000 by 2005 and boost the number of syphilis-free counties to 90 percent from the current level of about 80 percent.
of about 80 per cent. Pockets of the disease remain, mostly in the South and among poor African Americans and Hispanic Americans. And infections are on the rise among gay and bisexual men. That concerns experts because they suspect it reflects more risky sexual behavior, which could lead to a rise in HIV infections.
Mother-to-child transmission is down more than half since 1997, and the rate among Blacks has dropped 40 percent.

Senate, minority group reconcile after dispute
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
About 60 students from several minority student organizations appeared at last night's Student Senate meeting to support the Asian American Student Union as its members questioned actions of the Senate Finance Committee.
actions of the board The students protested the committee's handling of AASU's request for money for next spring's schedule of special events.
A group of senators went to the side of the room to discuss cuts to the AASU's bill during a Finance Committee meeting two weeks ago, causing members of the student group to voice their concerns.
Last night, Senate restored money for some of the events for which money had been denied in committee meetings. Senate allocated an additional $1,850 to the group, increasing the total amount to $4,392.
Committee showed "The bad apples were shown. I think a couple of senators put off the intentions of the entire committee." Dupree said.
Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan.. sophomore, said he was displeased with the way the Finance Committee showed disrespect to the AASU.
Jerry Wang, president of the AASU and Atlanta senior, said although last night's Senate meeting was tense and confrontational, he thought that it produced a positive outcome for
all multicultural groups.
He said he was also pleased that members of the Black Student Union, the Vietnamese Student Association and the Hispanic-American Leadership Organization — among other groups — came to support the AUSU.
"Student Senate really is an organization that tries to promote diversity," Wang said. "It was definitely good for everyone to talk about what happened two weeks ago."
"We apologize for dropping the ball," said Kyle Johnson, engineering senator.
Adam Obley, Finance Committee chairman,
said he allowed the meeting to get out of hand
with the side discussions. He promised the
groups that it wouldn't happen again.
Branden Bell, holdover senator and Finance Committee member, apologized for discussing the bill with other members during the organization's presentation.
"It's an unfortunate misrepresentation that we'll work to correct next semester," Bell said.
In other business, Senate:
- passed a petition banning credit card solicitation on campus.

Miko store supplies 'new beginnings'
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
Jessica Belmont, owner of Miko. 13 E. Eighth St., was showing a customer a box full of Ulexite, commonly called "TV Rock," yesterday afternoon.
"Cool, huh?" she asked the customer.
The cloudy, thimble-sized rock takes an image underneath it and projects the image on the rock's surface. The rocks are shipped in from Boron, Calif.
Belmont said the concept of her new store was to provide customers with some of "Mother
The Japanese phrase, "miko me," means new beginnings, and Belmont, who has worked in event planning, grant writing and marketing, said this company was a new beginning for her.
Nature's artwork."
Belmont opened the store six weeks ago after sensing a need during a summer trip to the Southwest desert and the California coast.
As she traveled, she collected a year's worth of Christmas gifts for her family and friends.
"Ilaid all my loot on the table and asked myself, Why did I have to drive 3 000 miles to get this stuff?"
Belmont started the company
partly with money left to her by her late grandfather. They shared a love for Japanese culture, and miko was a favorite Japanese word of hers.
Belmont said customer traffic had been steadily growing, and she is starting to see Christmas shoppers.
Tim Knapp, Lawrence resident, said he had found several treasures during his store visits, including shells he can use to make interesting necklaces.
"I originally did the ornaments as decoration," she said. "But people have been plucking them off the tree and buying them."

Dear Dad,
How is the White House? I'm really enjoying my first year here at KU. The class sizes are not as intimidating as I thought they might be. With 10,000 other students in your English class, you can always be sure there is someone to borrow notes from. My dorm room, Coca-Cola Hall, is pretty nice, although sometimes I wish we had running water instead of a soda fountain. It goes very well with powdered soap, though.

I have tickets to the KU-MU game this weekend, if you'd like to come down to watch the 140 year old rivalry. It's still a good rivalry, even if they are both competing for last place in the Northeastern Midwest Division of the Big 48. I think they may sell out Haskell Stadium this week-end — a lot of alumni are planning on attending the game.
There is still a lot of construction being done on the new basketball arena - Roy Williams Fieldhouse. Who knew you could build a basketball arena out of a pothole? Coach Jacque Vaughn seems pretty confident this year, but I guess I would be too if I had won 10 consecutive national championships!
I tried writing a column for the Kansan last week, but they told me they only take reader feedback in the Free for All which now consumes three-fourths of the paper. Who knew Free for All could win a Pulitzer?

GTA PAY NEGOTIATION
Dear editor,
Dear editor,
On Nov. 19, the KU administration informed GTAC, the union representing graduate teachers, that KU wanted to walk out on GTA contract negotiations.
GTAC seeks to continue discussions about how to improve education at KU by negotiating a better contract for graduate teachers.
In the negotiation process, GTAC has already moved substantially in the content of our proposals. But KU's minimum salary proposal for the first year of the contract is still $7,000, just as it was last year. And graduate teachers certainly aren't asking for the sun and the moon, just for reasonable compensation, fair working conditions and respect.
The KU administration's salary proposals are particularly troubling because of the principle. Is the work of a GTA worth only $7,000 for the entire academic year? Tell that to our students and to all the people paying tuition. I also have been told that future tuition increases will not go toward teachers' salaries. Ask KU administrators where the money goes.
Graduate teachers feel disrespected and insulted. Heading into the final weeks of the semester and final exams, when teachers' labor is even more important than ever, GTAC finds KU's treatment of graduate teachers both unreasonable and unnecessary.
KU always complains about budget woes to justify cuts to basic educational needs. But part-time teaching faculty are only a small percentage of KU's entire operating budget.

IN DEFENSE OF WESTERN CIV
Dear editor,
Robert Chamberlain's column ("Multiculturalism doesn't mean anything," Nov. 27) deserves comment. I won't discuss his apparent Islamophobia. However, he attacks the Western Civilization program for including the Quran in its curriculum as well as the curriculum itself. (I think he suggested there's too much reading to do.) As Senior Instructor in the Humanities and Western Civilization Program, I beg to differ on both points.
Mr. Chamberlain says that the Quran has no place in the Western Civ classes because it is a complex work of faith and as such demands a more in-depth treatment than can be provided by the densely packed Western Civ curriculum. Here he states that a week-long unit on Islam does not provide "useful knowledge to anyone in the class." By that rationale, any introductory course that is, by nature, a survey of the discipline involved is useless in providing a foundation for further inquiry. I doubt that it would be useful to jump into the 300-level class on the French Revolution without a survey class putting it into historical context. Nor would it be advisable to begin the study of chemistry with P-chem.
This is one essential flaw, among many, in Mr. Chamberlain's argument. Western Civ is a sophomore-level course designed to introduce students to the great ideas that have shaped the world in which we live. As such, it provides an important foundation for advanced courses across the University's curriculum philosophy, history, anthropology, religious studies, astronomy and others. Even students of political science such as Mr. Chamberlain could benefit from an introduction to Western Civilization. It's clear that Mr. Chamberlain waited until he was a senior to take Western Civ. Had he taken it as a sophomore he might have recognized its true value and learned that education, like anything else, begins with introductions.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
David P. Dewar
Tecumseh graduate student
Andrew Redden St. Louis sophomore
looking to build a high performance I say, good job Al Bohl for doing what you were hired to do. Thank you for trying to bring something to KU football. Thank you for doing the most possible to improve our program - to me that is the ultimate respect you can show KU coaches, players and fans.
FIRING ALLEN AT THE RIGHT TIME
Dear editor,
In response to the letter written by Russel Warren, Lawrence senior (Nov. 16), I would urge him to check his facts before denouncing the University for its firing of Terry Allen. Russel said that the University "lacked class" and did "the most disrespectful thing" by firing Allen during the middle of the season. He also called for a boycott of the rest of the games this year "to show we will not tolerate disrespect to coaches and players."
However, there is one very big reason why the University fired Allen when it did: recruitment. By firing Allen now, the University has time to find a new coach that can have a major impact on the recruiting capability of our football team. For this reason, the firing of coaches in college football during the middle of a season is now somewhat commonplace, especially for teams looking to build a winning program.
STUDENTS IN FRONT
Dear editor,
I am a freshman and I thought that the first basketball game of the year — my first to experience first hand — was exhilarating, full of school pride, and ... an extreme letdown. Being from Texas, my exposure to KU basketball has been limited to rare coverage on TV and reading the local paper. I have dreamed of being at a game in historic Allen Fieldhouse for years. When the chance finally arrived, where did I get to sit? About 15 rows up and behind the goal. I had to watch as alumni filled the large, lower sections behind the two lengthy baselines of the court. This baffled me, because I know that in a lot of other college arenas that I have seen, the college students pack the lower sections and the
Brian Good Dallas freshman
effect that it has, an intensified atmosphere and a deafening noise level, is substantial to the way the game is played and can further one's home court advantage. I appreciate the alumni that come out and support both KU teams, but the arrangement is just not effective. Instead of showing the students back into the upper corners of the field house and behind the baskets, let them surround the court with their young, loud voices that are full of school spirit. Think of what it would look like on TV, to possibly prospective students and people in general around the nation, to see hundreds of screaming students jumping up and down. The atmosphere would be evident and would rival those of other great venues around the nation. I think with the help of our active and avid athletic director, Al Bohl, this could be made possible, and hopefully before ESPN and CBS roll in to town. This is a proposal that needs to be carried out. Sorry alumni, but we are the students, and the moment should be ours.
INVESTIGATING KU SALARIES Deareditor
Dear editor,
After reading the rare opinion page love-fest regarding Student Senate and its leaders in the Nov. 28 paper, I had to write and share some love with the Kansan.

Simply: Kudos to Paul Smith for his incredibly poignant and enlightening "Swept Into Poverty" article.
In more than eight years of reading the Kansan (what can I say, I'm a dork who loves KUI), I honestly have to say this is the best treatment of such an important topic in years.
wage and poverty issues I know that the day-to-day fluff (see any Rock Chalk Revue story, Free for All, etc.) is necessary for attracting readers, but it's good to see investigative, in-
The stories told and situations laidbare were very compelling and disturbing at the same time. Let's hope it spurs the University community into greater state-level action and advocacy regarding University, education funding and wage and poverty issues.
depth reporting happening at the Kansan.
It's about time the budding news journalists at the Kansan threw off the yoke of moral relativism, a.k.a "journalism objectivity," and joined the ranks of those calling for social justice for all.
Too often in recent years, the Kansan has shied away from incisive coverage of such issues for fear of reactionaries that would rather their "news" conform to their head-in-the-sand worldview. Meanwhile these Rush Limbaugh-following, "liberal news media" adherents are steamrolling the public with such standards-bearers of objective journalism as Fox "News" and the Wall Street Journal.

Hurrah for the Kansan! (But now, how about a strong editorial board endorsement of some statewide student and community ACTION on this and other issues?!)

"Especially without Wayne we don't have that depth in the front to begin with," Williams said. "But Chris Zerbe came in and gave us a couple minutes and held us in there for a while."
"It was a time to get in and to show Coach what I can do." Zerbe said. "The most important thing is we got to work on our offense and our defense and pushing hard."
parking Zerbe had played against Pittsburg State senior guard Jeff Willms while at Hutchinson Community College and against senior guard Max Ruark while in high school.

Wizards defeat Sixers
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — This was what Michael Jordan expected from his teammates.
A night after saying his team "stinks," Jordan scored 30 points and Richard Hamilton added 28, leading the Washington Wizards to a 94-87 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers last night.
Allen Iverson scored 40 points and Derrick Coleman added 15 for the Sixers. The defending Eastern Conference champions have lost two straight after winning seven in a row.
Washington won for just the second time in its last 10 games.
"I think they felt the need to come out and play hard." Jordan said. "We found a way to play solid basketball and guys made shots.
"It's important to come out
this way every night. It doesn't matter if it's Cleveland or Philadelphia. The effort should be there every night. That's what was disappointing about Cleveland is we didn't have this type of effort. This is something we have to continue to build on."
Following Tuesday night's 94-75 loss at Cleveland, Jordan ripped his teammates for their lack of urgency and lackluster play on defense.
"I don't see anyone covering my back as everyone probably expected me to cover theirs," Jordan said.
The Wizards couldn't stop Iverson, especially in the first half when he scored 27 points. But they shut down the rest of the Sixers, and Jordan scored Washington's last 14 points in the second quarter as the Wizards trailed 50-47 at halftime.
A 9-0 run early in the third gave Washington its first lead
since the opening minutes. Hamilton had six points during the spurt, including a 12-footer that made it 60-58.
Philadelphia didn't get closer than five points the rest of the game.
The Sixers went more than four minutes without a point in the fourth and the Wizards opened an 87-76 lead with 4:13 left, capped by consecutive jumpers from Jordan and Hamilton. A free throw by Jordan made it 88-76 with 2:58 left.
Jordan came in shooting just 40.2 percent — a career-low. He went 11-of-27 from the floor, 8-of-10 on free throws and had seven assists and six rebounds.
Iverson scored 17 points in the first quarter, including 12 straight at one point. All of the points except two free throws came on jumpers, including three 3-pointers.
North Carolina loses again
The Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. North Carolina has dug itself an unthinkable hole it still believes it can escape from.
The Tar Heels started 0-5 for the first time in 73 years as Indiana got clutch play from A.J. Moye and Tom Coverdale for a 79-66 win in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge last night.
"I'm excited about this team and that may sound sick to you guys because we're 0-3," North Carolina coach Matt Doherty said. "But we've got some great kids in that locker room that busted their tails."
Indiana coach Mike Davis aureed.
"This helped our guys because they played the best basketball I've seen them play all year," Davis said. "Kris Lang was unstoppable. I thought I was a smart coach but it was
dumb playing man-to-man against him because we had no answer for him."
However, North Carolina must beat Georgia Tech on Sunday to avoid its first 0-4 start in 92 years of basketball.
"The boys don't seem to be panicking to me," Lang said as he looked around a quiet locker room.
The Tar Heels played better than in Smith Center losses to Hampton and Davidson, but still shot just 37 percent and turned it over 18 times to lose four straight at home for just the third time in school history.
"We just need to take that round thing and put it in that iron rim." Lang said.
The home losing streak includes a 14-point loss to eventual national champion Duke to end last season's regular season.
"Guys gained some confidence tonight," North Carr
olina's Jason Capel said. "We're growing up as a team and when we start making shots we're going to bury teams because we're getting better defensively."
Indiana missed its first seven long-range shots to start the second period, but got solid inside play from Jeffries and George Leach to help put the Tar Heels away.
Leach made two shots in the lane and a 12-footer, while Jeffries had a steal and layup. two shots in the lane and two free throws as the Hoosiers went up by 13 points with 8:37 left.
Lang led the Tar Heels with a career-high 27 points. His previous best was 22 points twice last season.
But the 6-foot-11 senior was about the only offensive threat the Tar Heels could muster in the program's worst start since 1928-29.

Right coach could be the miracle man team needs
Do you believe in miracles? Al Bohl does.
Alabama coach Dennis Franchione is everything Kansas wants in its next head football coach. He is a big name. He knows the area. And he would give the Jayhawks instant credibility.
And Bohl. Kansas athletics director, simply has to bring Franchione to Lawrence.
Yes, Franchione sounds like a long shot. But rumors started to swirl about Franchione on Monday, and they aren't dead yet.
Bohl can't let those rumors die. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported yesterday that Kansas had contacted Franchione. Now it's up to Bohl pull out the miracle.
Hiring Franchione would send a message to the Big 12 Conference: The Kansas football team won't be pushed around any more. Franchione would bring order to the table, something that the undisciplined Jayhawks need. Franchione could guide the Jayhawks to a bowl next season — something that most others on the list of finalists couldn't accomplish.
franchise is the last hope. Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mark "Mammoth" Mangino would singlehandedly put the local buffets out of business. Fresno State coach Pat Hill can't beat Boise State. Western Michigan coach Gary Darnell had a losing record this season in the powerhouse Mid-American Conference. Michigan State defensive coordinator Bill Miller is a nonname. Same with Kansas interim coach Tom Hayes. And former Oklahoma coach Gary Gibbs has already been fired by a fellow Big 12 school. There's nothing like hiring other schools' fired coaches to kill your credibility.
That leaves Franchione.
The scariest part of these "Franchione to Kansas" rumors is that the Alabama coach hasn't denied his interest in Kansas. He laughed about the rumors a few weeks ago, but he has yet to state that he isn't interested in the job. Also, a radio report on WHB 810 in Kansas City said that Franchione would be interested in the job if Bohl came calling.
Still, Franchione remains a long shot to be the next Jayhawk coach. He has one of the top college football jobs in America at Alabama, and he just signed a seven-year contract worth $1.1 million per year. Also, he doesn't have a favorable view of football at Kansas. He was passed over in 1997 when Kansas selected Terry Allen instead of him.
But there also are plenty of reasons why Franchione would want to come to Kansas. He was born in Girard, a small town tucked in the southeast corner of the state. He went to college at Pittsburg State, and was an assistant coach at Kansas State from 1978 to 1980. He wouldn't take a pay cut, as Bohl will reportedly pay the new coach between $700,000 and $1 million, according to the Wichita Eagle. And the NCAA is expected to punish Alabama for recruiting violations that occurred before Franchione's arrival.
Still, Bohl must make the sales pitch of his life to land one of the top coaches in the nation. He must convince Franchione that Kansas can win in the Big 12, and that fickle fans will show up to watch.
It may be a long shot, but it's a shot that must be taken.
For Kansas football to be taken seriously, Bohl must turn the Franchione pipe dream into reality.

In blowout game, Williams plays all 13 suited players and one scores career high

Kansan sportswriter
After getting off to a slow start, Kansas poured Division II Pittsburg State into submission last night at Allen Fieldhouse.
(3-2) 105-82. Kansas sluggishly got out to a slim 10-7 lead seven minutes into the first half. Sparked by a 19-0 run midway through the first half. Kansas stretched the advantage to 24 points at halftime.
submission is required.
Behind 26 points and 13 rebounds from junior Drew Gooden, the No. 8 Jayhawks improved to 3-1 by punishing the Gorillas (3-2) 105-62.
"I was disappointed that we got off to a slow start, but that can happen in these kind of games," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "We came in wanting to keep our focus the whole game and that didn't happen."
Despite the lackluster beginning. Gooden said he was pleased with Kansas' performance and said the Jayhawks achieved their main goal for the game.
"We wanted to come out with a lot of defensive intensity this game." Gooden said. "Personally, I wanted five steals tonight."
Gooden didn't get his five steals, but the team combined for 21 steals, one short of the school record. The Richmond, Calif., native capped off his dominant night by slamming down a highlight-reel dunk in the second half.
Kansas led the nation in defensive field goal percentage last season. The Jayhawks are picking up where they left off this year. Pittsburg State converted 37.9 percent of its
field goals last night. Kansas has yet to allow an opponent to shoot more than 50 percent in a game.
"We just came out and played hard," Kansas junior guard Kirk Hinrich said. "We've been playing tough defense all year and kept it going tonight."
Kansas also continued its torrid early-season shooting by knocking down 59.7 percent of its shots last night, including 50 percent from 3-point range. Hinrich connected three of five 3-pointers and scored 18 points last night. Senior guard Jeff Boschee dropped in two 3-pointers and added 12 points. Junior forward Nick Collison recorded 10 points but fouled out and played only 18 minutes.
played only 10 minutes All 13 players who suited up for Kansas last night played in the blowout, giving Williams many options with which to experiment in preparation for Saturday's game against No.4 Arizona.
Sophomore forward Bryant Nash set a career high with eight points, and senior forward Chris Zerbe scored three points in seven minutes of action.
"The entire team benefits from these games." Williams said. "We're especially going to need Bryant later on in the year, so it's nice to get those guys playing time."
Note:
Williams announced that freshman forward Wayne Simien would not play Saturday against Arizona. Simien had arthroscopic surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee two weeks ago. Simien said he hoped to be ready for next Tuesday's home game against No. 23 Wake Forest.

More men's players seeing minutes
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
Besides giving in-state schools such as Pittsburg State University some extra money, games against Division II opponents allow more Kansas men's basketball players to get experience.
Despite the 105-62 lopsided score, coach Roy Williams said those games provided situations that couldn't be replicated in practice.
"We do get some of those other guys, like Bryant Nash, a couple more minutes in game situations," Williams said.
Nash, a sophomore forward, scored his first points of the season on two free throws with 8:23 left in the first half. Nash finished 4 for 6 from the free throw line and scored a career-high eight points in 14 minutes of play.
"We need Bryant and we need Bryant to develop," Williams said. "He is going to be important to us and we're going to try to get
him some minutes."
Senior forward Jeff Carey played 18 minutes and scored eight points to tie his career high, set against Texas A&M in 1999. Carey was 6 for 7 from the free throw line and pulled down three rebounds before fouling out on a questionable call with 6:48 left in the game.
"The foul was on Drew and they called it on Jeff Carey." Williams said. "I was trying to tell them they had the wrong guy."
Carey's fifth foul forced Williams to look down the bench for senior forward Chris Zerbe. Junior forward Nick Collison had already fouled out with 10:49 left in the game and freshman forward Wayne Simien was still out with a knee injury. Zerbe played four minutes in the first half. After replacing Carey when he fouled out in the second half, Zerbe went 3 for 4 from the free throw line and finished with three points, two

Committee works to find new football coach
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
The committee was appointed Nov. 5 to assist Al Bohl, athletics director, in the selection process.
A committee comprised of students, alumni and KU employees continues to search for the Jayhawks' new head football coach.
A month into the search, no official hiring date has been set, but John Mize, a Salina alumnus who is on the committee, said the search is going well.
"It's been a tremendous experience, and we've worked extremely hard." Mize said. "We haven't put a timetable on anything. We'll be done when we get the right person for the job."
After Terry Allen was fired on Nov.4 fans and reporters have speculated about who might fill the vacancy.
Some of the names that have been mentioned include Alabama coach Dennis Franchione, Western Michigan coach Gary Darnell, Fresno State coach Pat Hill, Michigan State defensive coordinator Bill Miller and former Oklahoma coach Gary Gibbs, who is currently the defensive coordinator at Louisiana State.
Though the committee and Bohl have refused to discuss specific candidates, several names continue to surface.
South Florida coach Jim Leavitt was recently added to the list of candidates.
Leavitt made his name in the coaching ranks at Kansas State, where as a defensive coordinator he took the nation's 93rd-ranked defense and turned it into the nation's best in just four years.
The Kansas City Star said Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops and former Ohio State coach John Cooper are not longer candidates for the position. The newspaper cited anonymous sources close to the team.
Mize refused to discuss the list of candidates yesterday. He said the committee had decided during its first meeting that it wouldn't talk about candidates until Bohl's office made an official decision.
The committee has met several times
"If we had a vote, he'd come back," Davison said. "People out there don't see what's on on the inside. They only see KU losing. They don't see coach Hayes teaching the team and the type of stuff he brought to the table."
Though several members of the committee are former players, no current players were appointed to the group. If the players had a say, senior cornerback Andrew Davison said interim coach Tom Hayes, who continues to be a candidate, would be invited to extend his stay at the helm.

Legends of the Hill
Among the many tales told at KU, many have been proven true; the rest remain to be MYSTERIES
A statue guards the walkway through the World War 2 Memorial. Superstition has it that walking through the memorial will just students, preventing them from graduating.
STORY BY MANDALEE MEISNER PHOTOS BY JOHN NOWAK
JIMMY C. MAYER
The front of Strong Hall? The original concept was to have Strong Hall overlooking Campanile Hill, as it faces north. The side facing Javhawk Boulevard is actually the rear of the building.
In 1923, when the 14-year-long construction of Strong Hall was finally completed, architect M. P. McArdle saw the outcome of his efforts for the first time. Devastated that the building had been built backward, he plunged himself from the uppermost floor, landing dead on the grass below.
True? Probably not.
Although Strong was originally constructed with the main entrance facing north — not south as it does today — it certainly wasn't accidentally built backward. And there's no evidence that the original architect committed suicide.
This is just one example of the many legends, superstitions and rumors that pass from one generation to the next at the University of Kansas.
Whether created late at night in the minds of imaginative students or based on actual historical fact, interesting stories have always captivated people.
"A legend is a story that may not be true and probably isn't, but everybody likes to believe," said James Carothers, professor of English. "It's just a fun way that people try to create a unique space and add a little magic and mystery."
Every Traditions Night at the beginning of the fall semester, Carothers tells a fresh audience a few of the stories that make up the "magic and mystery" of KU.
One such legend is the story of the official KU chant. Carothers explained that although the original was "Rah Rah lav-
hawk, KU," the chant was transformed one day during a classroom excursion.
"The story goes that one of the geology professors took his class out to his farm, showing them various ores and rock samples," he said. "When he showed them chalk rock—a kind of outcropping in this area, one student said 'Rock Chalk,' another added 'Jayhawk' and a third said 'KU.'"
But as with most stories, the KU Rock Chalk chant legend has its variations.
According to the official KU Ambassador Handbook, the inspiration for the rhythm of the chant was the sound of a train; the Rock Chalk part came from the predominance of limestone outcroppings on Mt. Oread.
Yet another variation attributes the chant to a linguistics professor who used it as a language exercise for his class.
Many legends and superstitions - similar to Strong Hall's "disastrous" construction - pertain to specific buildings or statues on campus. And similar to Strong Hall, some buildings are rumored to be constructed differently than had originally been planned.
In a 1975 University Daily Kansan article, Murphy Hall and Summerfield were both targeted as the results of major architectural mistakes.
The plans for Murphy were supposedly "sabotaged" by a junior architect, leaving the building with misnumbered doors, rooms without windows and "18
Ever feel slightly dazed in class?
Legend has it that Wescoe Hall is slowly sliding down the Hill, and a crash into Malott would be the KU sign of the apocalypse.
square feet of dead space."
The front of Strong Hall The original side facing Jayhawk Boulevard is actually ward, since the "glass wall" (originally on the west side of the structure) tended to overheat the building.
Much college folklore surrounds the Campanile.
"Many people wait until they graduate to walk through the Campanile," Carothers said, because the symbolic march through the bell tower and down the Hill is a prominent part of the graduation ceremonies.
"I think the superstition's kind of stupid," she said. "But it's fun to have stories like that."
Another superstition holds that if a couple kisses while the bells are striking midnight, they will wed within the year. Or—in a milder version expounded in a 1965 Kansan article—a "girl becomes an official KU coed when she is kissed under the Campanile."
Even the truly preposterous can find its way into general lore.
turely will never graduate.
Elizabeth Morel, Lawrence freshman, walked through the Campanile despite the legend.
In a variation of the standard college virgin myth." it is said that if a virgin graduates from KU, the Jayhawk statue in front of Strong Hall will flap its wings and fly away.
Similarly, the pioneer statue in between Fraser and Blake halls will -according to the 1975 Kansan article- throw a shovel full of dirt over his right shoulder.
— that of the bust of Chancellor Lindley
— on KU tours.
Second-year KU Ambassador Paige Isaacson tells the story of another statue
"The superstition is that if you rub Chancellor Lindley's nose before going in to take a test, you'll get an A on the test," Isaacson, Salina junior, said. "Students have rubbed it so much that they've had to replace the nose four times."
Isaacson said ambassadors are given a handbook of KU facts and trivia, but each ambassador decides individually which tales to recount on a tour. She said she recently added a tale about "toot toot," the campus whistle, to her arsenal of KU folklore.
"I heard that 'tooty toot' was originally a boat whistle, and had been on the sister ship of the Titanic," Isaacson said. "Sometimes if I hear a story that someone else tells and I like it, I add it to my tour."
Some KU rumors that sound probable — for instance, that Wescow was planned to be a parking garage but converted last-minute to hold classrooms — prove to be only partially true upon closer inspection.
Actually, Wescoe was planned to be 25 stories high; the two bottom stories were intended for parking, then two for classrooms and 21 for office space. But during construction, the original Kansas Union burned to the ground. Therefore, the funds were diverted, and the intended skyscraper was scaled back to a mere four levels.
Another rumor — that Wescoe is slowly sliding down the hill because of faulty construction — is also only partially true, said Marci Francisco, Space Analyst at KU Institutional Research and Planning.
"It's really not so much sliding down the hill as shifting, actually," she said. "But it's not happening quick enough to make a difference for life and limb." Contact Meisner at 864-4810

Fall into Potter's wizardly world
The best fantasies create a world so magical that we effortlessly enter without thinking. Great movies, such as Star Wars and Toy Story, whisk viewers on wild journeys, in which things like plausibility and reality are thrown out the window. All that matters is the ride.
Commentary
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is that type of movie. For two-and-a-half hours, audiences can suspend disbelief and enjoy a world where wizards cast spells and fight monsters. Children learn wizardry and witchcraft from seasoned wizards and witches at a school called Hogwarts.

---
It's a movie for all who have ever dreamed of flying high in the sky or turning their sibling into a frog. It's for people who dare to let their imaginations run free.
The Sorcerer's Stone, based on the first novel in the Harry Potter series by author J.K. Rowling, begins in London where Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), on his 11th birthday, receives an invitation to attend Hogwarts.
We learn that Harry's parents, brutally murdered years earlier, were masters of wizardry and
witchcraft, and Harry has been invited to follow in their footsteps. Naturally, the proposition appeals to Harry, who has spent most of his days locked in a cupboard and neglected by his vile aunt and uncle.
Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Harry finds friends in fellow schoolmates Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). The three young students embark on a series of quests to uncover the secrets behind the mysterious school. Their meddling gets them into trouble, but their bravery soon earns respect from many of the school's teachers and students.
The primary plot unfolds when Harry and his friends stumble onto a sinister plot to steal a precious stone that is hidden in the castle and guarded
bv a ferocious three-headed dog.
Visually, The Sorcerer's Stone is top-notch. Director Chris Columbus didn't let the $125 million budget go to waste. One notable scene involves a chess game with life-sized pieces. Our three young heroes are forced to participate in the game, in which the losers face violent consequences. It's a visually stunning scene that achieves a
surprising level of intensity.

Much like the Harry Potter novels, which are geared toward children but appeal to adults of all ages, The Sorcerer's Stone is not just a kids movie. The magical story is filled to the brim with thrilling adventures and immense visual beauty. It's a holiday movie that shouldn't be missed.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ★★★ 1/2
Great movie of the week: Star Wars. Its release in 1977 revolutionized motion pictures and captivated the hearts and minds of people everywhere. Now, more than 20 years later, Star Wars still has millions of devoted fans worldwide. George Lucas' space opera started a franchise that has spawned thousands of books, video games and toys. The 1999 release of the first prequel sparked Star Wars mania once again and the hysteria is sure to last for years.
Bad movie of the week: Crazy/Beautiful. Movies such as this make me angry. For nearly two-thirds of its running time, Crazy/Beautiful is a moving love story about a rich girl from the suburbs (Kirsten Dunst) who falls in love with a poor boy from the inner city (Jay Hernandez). The girl's plethora of emotional problems threaten the relationship and the two must fight to stay together. Unfortunately, the film falters later when director John Stockwell tries to solve all of life's problems in a few scenes. The real world doesn't work that way, and neither should movies.
HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. Don't deplete your savings to get something you want badly. Remember the old adage about not putting all of your eggs in one basket.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. Everybody may think you can't win, but don't give up. Hold out for what you want or what you think you're worth. Right now, you're stubborn enough to succeed. Make them think you'll walk if you don't get your way. Besides, tomorrow's a good day for finding a better job.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. Proceedings may grind to a halt when others bog down in arguments. Don't try to give them facts when they've already made up their minds. Wait until tomorrow. You have a better chance of getting through then.
9
Cancer (June 22-July 22), Today is a 7. Continue to cut out frills and keep down expenses. You're good at this, and conditions are right for it. It'll be easy to decide what to keep, what to throw away, what to get and what to do without.
2
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
The interrogation isn't over yet.
No need to squirm. You're looking good.
Just tell the truth, and if you don't know the answer, say so. A couple of good guesses could work for you, but don't push your luck. Stay respectful.
Crab
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7. Think you could get the day off? One way or the other, office matters may have to wait. You'll be out late doing errands, so don't make a date for tonight.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a
7. Duty calls. You may have to
postpone a social engagement
because of chores that must be
done. Decisions must be made,
money must be spent, bills must
be paid. Get together with friends
tomorrow.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6. Seems like something's always happening, stealing those precious moments. Schedule something special for Sunday. Meanwhile, get all that other stuff finished!

SCORPIO
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 6. Don't make any dates for tonight. You may have to work late. Get together with your sweetheart over the weekend and share some quality time together. Right now, too many things need fixing.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 6. Don't go out tonight—too many complications. Everything will take longer than expected, and most of it is more expensive than anticipated. Don't buy costly gifts for your loved ones now. First, replenish your resources.
Aquarium (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6. You're trying everything, but the problem persists. Pushing harder won't work this time. In fact, this situation may require an answer you don't have. Don't worry. By tomorrow, the problem may have solved itself.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today are 7. Traveling still looks problematic. Can you get what you need some other way? Have it delivered? Event that could be a hassle. How about just doing without it for one more day? Information you receive could have errors, too. Be inquisitive, and double-check things.

G-love: The extra special spot
Q. I've looked and looked, but I can't seem to find my G-spot. Any suggestions?
A. The G-spot is a sexual organ with slight existential problems. Basically, although some sex experts think the G-spot or Grafenberg spot if you want to be long-winded) is a spot in a woman's vagina that, when pressed or rubbed, can provide intense feelings of pleasure, others think that good old G-spots might be like the Bat Boy or other National Inquirer characters — fun to think about, interesting to read stories about and hell, you might even try to find them, but they don't really exist.
Commentary
ture Here's a lesson for the eager G-spot hunter: Your G-spot isn't like an actual lump or spot inside your vagina (or the vagina of the one you love).
So, if you choose to believe, or just have some extra time on your hands, go on a little G-spot treasure hunt. While some might not find anything special, others might hit the hidden (but real) treasure.
PARKER
Meghan
Bainum
Columnist
jayplay.dkansan.com
And, though some women claim the spot feels more rough or different from the surrounding smooth tissue, in a medical report, Gary Schubach, Ed.D., A.C.S., (who probably loves his job) described the G-spot as the place where
the urethral glands can be felt through the vaginal wall. So, actually, you're not feeling on the walls of the vagina, you're trying to feel through them. Interesting, huh? So, get ready for a little spelunkin-
The G-spot (or urethral glands) are located on the upper wall of the vagina. Using your fingers (two generally feel the best, but feel free to experiment), the top wall can be felt by kind of curling your fingers upward in a "come hither" motion. Don't be shy about really putting your fingers in all the way — or as deeply in as feels best. Feel along the top wall, keeping fairly constant pressure. It probably will feel good for you or your lover to press firmly, but experiment or let your partner know if you want it harder or softer.
Searching for the G-spot feels fantastic after a little playing around with yourself, or after a little oral sex. But don't
jump in to intense G-spot action without any action at all, and remember to keep fingernails clipped and use a lot of lube
Although this might seem to be a little much for something that might not exist, playing around could lead to some great surprises.
But you'll never know if you're down with the G if you don't try to give "the spot" any lovin'. You also can find special vibrators sold with attachments for G-spot stimulation (Sex people think of EVERYTHING!). If you want your girl or guy to give you some G-spot love (or want to surprise that special somebody in your life with an early Christmas present) have them look for G-spot gold by hunting around while performing oral sex, or by experimenting with different sexual positions — usually rear-entry ones are the best. (Check out Kansan.com for info on a good G-spot position).
Just remember, you'll never know if you're down with the G if you don't try to give it any lovin'. It's cold now, so get hot with the spot (or in any way you choose) and save on those gas bills!

APERTURE BLUE TIME OF LAST SEASON
PART TWO
Digitized Beats
By Carlos Centeno Jayplay writer
NAKED MUSIC SOOTHES DANCE FANATICS
This week we will be transported to the luxurious sounds of disco, funk, house and jazz. With the new releases from the Naked Music/Astralwerks partnership, club DJs around Lawrence should be jamming to the sultry beats of Nude Dimensions 3, Carte Blanche Vol.1 and Bare Essentials Vol.1.
Picture yourself on the dance floor. Everything is dark; purple, green and blue lights lead the way to corporal satisfaction as a soulful voice sings "You've been on my mind" and a delicate piano sample is blissfully perpetuated in the background throughout the song.
Your feet start to feel it. It's the magic, the pleasure and desire to dance. Welcome to Naked Music, it's everything you ever expected from house, electro, broken beats and late-night nu-jazz. Tracks such as Deep Sensation's "Don't Stop" with its Latin congas and flute interventions and Miguel Migs' "Blue Six Tribute" deep-moving house bass lines and astral-like samples mixed with an outstanding set of funky
guitars make this record a must-play if you wish to please your ears.
On a more historical scale, Bare Essentials is a compilation of the best from Naked's back catalog, all combined in a pleasant mix. Petalpusher's "Breakin It Down," a true anthem for House lovers with its jazzy playful trumpet, sets the pace for the next 12 tracks.
It's getting late and your body temperature is rising with everyone who brushes against you in the nightclub. Sweat pours down your neck and you dance the night away. Two minutes later, down tempo rhythms from Carte Blanche Vol. 1 might just give you a soothing rest. With saxophone lines like the ones in Stanway's Revenge "Sidewinder," groovy synthesizers from "Global Communication" and bashful breakbeats in "Just Listen To The Record," your heartbeat will diminish substantially and you will once again be able to return home satisfied.
With Naked Music everything changes and nothing else matters, at least while you're on the dance floor.

Jewel shows listeners the way
Singer hits the spot returns to roots with latest CD
By Chris Wristen
Kansan senior staff writer
In a time where manufactured music reigns king, Jewel shatters the norm with This Way and offers a new set of innocently insightful tracks that question the world and tug at the heart.
Jewel doesn't wave from her simple view of the world on This Way, her third Atlantic Records release, following her 1995 debut, Pieces of You, and 1998's Spirit. Now a mainstay in the pop music spotlight, the 27-year-old Alaskan delivers her most complete and powerful record yet.
The unpolished folk sound of Pieces of You somewhat disappeared on Spirit, but Jewel made a concerted effort to return to her roots and churn out a raw and
emotional sound on This Way — a goal she achieves.
"Standing Still," the album's first single, captured immediate radio play and opens the album on a strong note before heading into the more mellow and thought-provoking "Jesus Loves You." which questions priorities.
The record's Nashville recording adds its presence on "Everybody Needs Someone Sometimes" with twangy guitar riffs, and "Till We Run Out of Road" allows Jewel to accentuate her talent as a storyteller.
She experiments with stronger guitar melodies on "Serve the Ego" and has a touching love song in "Break Me." She beautifully displays her range of voice from soft and sweet notes to power ballad wails on "Do You Want to Play?"
"I Won't Walk Away" sounds like it belongs on Dido's No Angel release and should appeal to Dido fans.
Uncut live tracks "Grey Mat
ter" and "Sometimes It Be That Way" add to the album's edgy and intimate feel, but the diamond-in-the-rough is the title track, "This Way." Similar to her 1995 smash hit "You Were Meant for Me," "This Way" is the most charming song on the album. Supported by a smooth and melodic rhythm, she sing, "Don't move/Don't breathe/Don't change/Dont leave/And promise me/Say you'll stay We'll stay/This way." These are some of the most simple, yet to-the-point love lyrics possible and they create the most powerful song on the record.
The folk-pop sound of This Way brings jewel full circle and proves that she is confident in her sound and refuses to sell out. In an industry full of mostly phonies, Jewel remains the same — a brilliant, confident and original artist that can still dominate the industry with quality music.

Party bus keeps revelers rolling from home to bar and back again
PARTY BUS
By Lauren Beatty Jayplay writer
The Jack Flanigans Party Bus is gaining in popularity with large groups who go barhopping in Lawrence. The Party Bus is rented for $50 an hour, and the driver will drive almost anywhere while he is on the clock.
In another life, the Jack Flanigans Party Bus was just another yellow school bus filled with the chatter of children on their way to school.
Since its resurrection by Jack Flanigans Bar & Grill owner Dannie Thompson, the bus has come alive on weekend nights with the revelry of slightly older passengers.
the revelry of signiy older passengers Thompson said he couldn't resist the good deal he saw on an old bus last fall.
"I noticed how many people were renting buses for pub crawls and I wanted to offer an alternative," Thompson said.
After he purchased the bus, he painted it Jayawk crimson and blue. The bus made its debut in the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade on Massachusetts Street last year.
Massachusetts Street library. Thompson said the bus was its own advertisement and the calls starting pouring in soon after the parade. He said people wanted to know what the party bus was used for, and by spring break, the bus was a hit with renters.
Used mostly for parties and pub crawls, the 62-passenger party bus is rented for $50 an hour, with a three-hour minimum, by Flanigans, 806 W.24th St.

Riders are allowed to drink alcohol on the bus as long as it remains away from the driver's seat, Thompson said.
driver's seat, Thompson said.
The party bus takes its clientele wherever they want to go within Lawrence, but the partygoers must start their evening at Flanigans for at least one hour.
Guests on the bus can bring along all types of music to be played on the 1,000-watt stereo. Disco balls and strobe lights pulse in time with the music.
"When you're in here, it's like a club inside with all the music and lights and speakers," Thompson said.
Jason Rine has been the driver of the bus for seven months. Rine said he liked driving the bus because the job allowed him to meet all kinds of people.
all kinds of people. Rine said that the bus also gave bar patrons an alternative to drinking and driving. The bus picks people up from a gathering point and drops them off at the end of the night.
"Everyone's having a blast the entire night," Rine said. "Everyone just lets loose because they don't have to worry about driving."
they don't have to worry about the Thompson said that so far, the reaction to the bus had been positive.
"It's been wonderful," he said. "The police like it because it gets 60 drunks off the streets."
Thompson said the bus was sometimes used for bachelor parties and was also popular with fraternities and sororities.

"It's good to see that reaction on the streets," Thompson said. "It's good to see their faces."
Delta Delta Delta rented the bus from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. The bus shuttled members back and forth from the party all night. Morrison
said she and her sorority members were considering using the bus for a future pup crawl.
"It was a lot of fun and great way to start things off," Morrison said.
Thompson said he didn't mind sending business to competitors. That's because the passengers always spend the first hour of their evening at Flanigans. He said the other bar owners were surprised, but that they appreciated having 60 customers come in at one time.
altering to connect it several times a month it stops here," said Jeff Johnson, manager at the Cadillac Ranch. 2515 W. 6th St. "It brings in anywhere from 10 to 40 people two to three times a month. It allows them to have a good time and not drive on the roads."
Thompson said making money was not his objective in running the party bus.
his objective in life is to "We're not trying to make money, we're trying to provide a service," Thompson said. "What I charge just covers the cost of running the bus."
Chompson said that in the future, he would like to make deals with apartment complexes, where he would offer a shuttle service between the complex and Jack Flanigans. Thompson said he wouldn't charge for the service.

For now, Thompson continues to rent out the bus to those looking for a different way to have a good time.

Credit card solicitation ban passed by Senate
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
A ban on credit card solicitation on campus now awaits administrative approval.
approval. A petition banning credit card solicitation from campus passed by a 35 to 20 vote during Wednesday's Student Senate meeting, but changing the University's policy will be decided by provost David Shulenburger.
Shulenburger said banning credit card solicitors would involve exploring legal issues regarding the singling out of one form of commercial speech.
"It's less a question about money and more a question of legality," he said.
move a question of legal importance. Michele Kessler, Legal Service for Students associate director, said that it wasn't legal to completely ban one form of commercial speech and allow others. Representatives from various types of businesses would have to be treated equally by the same restrictions. If credit card solicitors were banned from campus, other solicitors might have to be banned as well.
Shulenburger said banning credit card solicitors would not prevent students from getting credit cards but also didn't think the solicitation was appropriate to have on campus.
Tiffany Lopez, Asian-American Student Union senator, said even though she voted in favor of the ban, she was concerned that student groups that received money from the solicitors could have problems finding other funding if a ban went into effect.
"I think it might have been a hasty decision." Lopez said.
The group received about $2,400 for sponsoring credit card solicitors to solicit on campus last year. Lopez said.
She said she didn't have any sympathy for solicitors who took advantage of students, but the money they gave to student groups could be missed.
Catherine Bell, Nunemaker senator representing freshman and sophomores, voted against banning credit card solicitors but only because she didn't want student groups to lose money.
"It would be hard for those student groups to get all that money from Student Senate instead." Bell said.
Sarah Hoskinson, liberal arts and sciences senator and co-sponsor of the bill, said if the administration didn't ban credit card solicitation, she and other student senators would take it to the legislature. The Student Legislative Awareness Board will send the petition to state senators and representatives to support a bill that would ban credit card solicitation at all Kansas universities.
Peerschools affect tuition
Fee increase may help KU funds catch up with other universities
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Contact Daley at 864-4810
The University of Kansas is playing catch-up with its peer institutions, and increased tuition may be the only resource to propel the University in that effort as further state funding is unlikely.
Provost David Shulenburger offered six tuition increase proposals for campuswide discussion on Wednesday. Tuition could rise between 15 and 62 percent next year and could affect either incoming freshmen or all students.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, in his regular Monday message last week, said that the state budget director would not recommend any new funding for higher education.
The latest projected shortfall for the
state budget is more than $300 million.
Shulenburger said the University needed to increase revenues by $50 million to reach the average funds available to its peer institutions for operating expenses as well as salaries and benefits.
Some of the institutions that KU considers its peers are the University of Iowa and the University of Colorado.
Janet Murgua, executive vice chancellor for University Relations, said KU had a history of keeping tuition low but among the revenue sources available, a tuition increase needed consideration.
Within the Big 12, only three universities charge cheaper tuition and fees, including Kansas State University, while the University of Missouri charges $2,000 more each year.
Shulenburger said that KU's tuition was among the cheapest in both the Big 12 and the 34 public institutions in the American Association of Universities. That position is not expected to change, despite the proposed tuition increase$^{a}$
Even if the greatest increase was implemented — charging all in-state students $173.75 per credit hour by 2006 — KU's resident tuition and fees would cost $5,764. That would make KU the sixth most expensive university among the AAU public institutions if tuition rates elsewhere remain static, which is unlikely, Shulenburger said.
"Over the next five years, I think we will see increases for all those schools in at least the 5 to 10 percent range each year." Shulenburger said.
Murguia said that a tuition increase would directly benefit the University because the Legislature changed the University's funding strategy last year.
Under the new tuition retention and block grant policies, the University will be able to keep excess tuition receipts, and that excess will not be offset by a reduction in the Legislature's funding.
"We are now in a position to better leverage our tuition funds to reinvest them into the University's needs." Murguia said.
Each tuition increase proposal includes an $8-per-credit-hour technology fee, which would generate money to regularly upgrade the University's computers and other equipment.
Shulenburger said the University now had 62 cents to spend on technology to every dollar the peer institutions spend, but the technology fee would make up that difference.
Also, 20 percent of the net revenue generated by any tuition increase would be set aside for student financial aid.
Murguaia said the University did not want to "price out" any Kansas students from getting their degrees here.
"We feel strongly about maintaining and increasing access to KU for all students, especially those in financial need," she said.

Interracial couples shrug off obstacles

By J. R. Mendoza Kenyon staff writer
Kansan staff writer
Some students have found that interracial dating is accepted by their friends and families, but that doesn't mean they don't encounter difficulties.
Lesli May, Topeka junior, is Caucasian. She said one of her friends frustrated her by making jokes about the fact that she is dating a Puerto Rican and made fun of her boyfriend's culture and language.
"Sometimes it makes me upset." May said. "Sometimes he goes too far. I try not to take it seriously."
Despite the jokes, May said her family and other friends had no problem with her dating a Puerto Rican.
She said her boyfriend's family lives in Puerto Rico and also accepted her.
"They didn't judge me." May said. "We seemed to get along fine."
She said neither her race nor her boyfriend's race mattered when they decided to date.
Irad Orduna, Pomona. Calif., senior and Sheri Johnson. Shawnee senior, have been going out for more than a

year. Orduna is Latino, and Johnson is African American. Both said race did not play a role when they decided to date.
"The reasons for being attracted to her were because of herself and not because she was a different race," Orduna said.
Orduna said his parents didn't accept his relationship with Johnson.
"I think my parents, when they knew for the first time that she wasn't Latina, it was kind of like, 'Oh, really,' he said. "They were kind of wondering but were like, 'He is his own person and makes his own decisions.'"
Johnson said her parents just wanted her to date someone who respected her.
"That was the main focus," she said. "When I told my mom Irad was Latino, it wasn't an issue with her. My dad was wondering. Why she — maybe she couldn't find a Black guy. But when I told my parents more about Irad, it was more than him being Latino. His race became a back issue."

Volunteer fair offers students options
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAA
The Volunteering in the Arts Fair at Hashinger Hall yesterday presented students with opportunities to express their artistic abilities through volunteerin
Twelve businesses from Lawrence; Kansas City, Kan.; and Topeka offered information to students about volunteering opportunities within their companies.
Some of the groups at the fair included the Lawrence Community Theater, East Topeka Senior Center. Douglas County Extension, Accessible Arts, KANU 91.5 FM radio, Brandon Woods Retirement Community and the Mulvane Art Museum.
Allyson Flaster, arts program coordinator for Hashinger, said this was the
first year the hall had organized a volunteer fair and was looking for ways to get hall residents and members of the community together.
"People want to do stuff like this and don't know how to get involved," said Flaster, Los Angeles graduate student.
Finding businesses who were looking for volunteers was easy, she said. Flaster said she saw filers for some businesses and called places looking for volunteers.
Rick Howell, activity director coordinator for Brandon Woods Retirement Community, 1501 Inverness Drive, said the center had had student volunteers in the past. He said many students came in to fill volunteer hours for classes
"We're excited to have a chance to get new people to come in," he said.
Before the event, Flaster said fliers were posted throughout the hall and at
various buildings on campus and the event was advertised with chalk on the sidewalks in front of Hashinger.

Paula Richardson, Lawrence senior,
said she saw a flier after she finished a
class yesterday. She said she was looking
to find a place that would allow her to do
three-dimensional arts and was interested
in ceramics and sculpture. The retirement community looked appealing,
but she hadn't decided yet.
David Kitchner, Topeka freshman, said he was interested in radio work, which would make KANU the primary choice, but he hadn't decided yet, either.

Society aims to turn camp into first POW memorial
CONCORDIA — A camp that housed 4,000 German prisoners of war during World War II should be turned into Kansas' first POW memorial, the camp's supporters say.
Hastily built in 1943, the camp was one of the largest in the country.
Eight Germans died in captivity there, and the POW Camp Concordia Preservation Society hoped to have their remains relocated from Fort Riley to Concordia.
relocated here in Kansas POW memorial, the society hopes to build a visitors center, with artifacts and files from the POW camp. The society also hopes to buy two original buildings still on the site.

Hunter faces fine, jail time for shooting wrong animal
JACKSON, Ky. — Randolph Scott Stidham was proud of shooting an enor mous deer, but he had actually bagged one of 1,300 protected elk that wildlife officials have been trying to restore to the state's Appalachian mountains.
Now Studham, 38, faces more than $8,000 in fines and up to a year in jail
"Anyone who mistakenly shoots an elk is an idiot," said Roy Grimes, deputy state fish and wildlife commissioner. "If a person cannot tell the difference between an elk and a deer, they should get rid of their firearms."
Stidham pleaded not guilty this week to charges of possessing an elk. He and his attorney had no comment.

Fighting nears Kandahar Taliban's last stronghold
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — Anti-Taliban fighters battled the Islamic militia yesterday on the outskirts of Kandahar, the ousted regime's last bastion, a key northern alliance commander said. The Taliban's supreme leader declared the decisive battle "has now begun."
Witnesses described heavy bombing around the southern city in the past two days, and the Taliban reportedly hanged an Afghan man there yesterday after accusing him of helping Americans call in air strikes.
helping Anti-Arabism The northern alliance's deputy defense minister, Bismillah Khan, told The Associated Press that anti-Taliban fighters reached the eastern edge of Kandahar — the Taliban's birthplace and the only city still under their control — and "there is heavy fighting going on."
Speaking from the capital of Kabul in a series of calls, Khan said his information was based on radio communications with his commanders at the scene.
Seeking to rally his followers, Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar urged his commanders in a radio message to defend their dwindling territory.
"The fight has now begun. It is the best opportunity to achieve martyrdom," a Taliban official quoted Omar as saying. "Now we have the opportunity to fight against the infidels," meaning non-Muslims. The Taliban official

Gas company may burn out
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Enron Corp. was pushed to the brink of bankruptcy after the once-mighty energy trading company's credit collapsed, and its main rival backed out of an $8.4 billion buoyout plan.
News that Enron was being spurred by Dyneye Inc. sent its stock price spiraling 85 percent to close at 61 cents on Wednesday. The decline continued yesterday as Enron shares fell to 42 cents in heavy early afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

inevitable for a company that just months ago was the country's seventh biggest in revenue — but crumbled after revealing questionable partnerships and admitting it overstated profits for four years.
Enron, which has 20.000 employees, was once the world's top buyer and seller of natural gas and the largest electricity marketer in the United States. It also marketed coal, pulp, paper, plastics, metals and fiber-optic bandwidth.
Enron, valued at $80 billion little more than a year ago, lavished contributions on politicians.
The company has been the single biggest group of contributors to President George W. Bush's campaigns.

NASA also had to worry about the repairs that would be necessary, by a pair of spacewalkers, to remove a stray cable and secure the supply ship to the station.
A spacewalk could be conducted while Endeavour is docked to the station, said NASA representative Kelly Humphries.
Shuttle managers decided to give engineers until today to make sure no damage would result from Endeavour's own docking with the station.
"The Russians have told us they believe it's safe for us to dock," Humphries said. "But we are continuing our analysis ... to make sure that we agree."

Pregnant Mexican pop singer denied asylum in Brazil
BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil's refugee council denied political asylum to Mexican pop singer Gloria Trevi yesterday, removing one of the last barriers to her extradition to Mexico on charges of corrupting a minor.
Trevi was arrested 19 months ago at the request of Mexican police. Trevi, her manager, Sergio Andrade and choreographer Maria Raquenel Portillor are accused of corrupting a 17-year-old girl whose parents had turned over to Andrade's care for musical training.
Trevii has 15 days to appeal the council's decision to the Justice Ministry
Ordinarily, it would be Trevi's last legal recourse, but the singer is seven months pregnant and on Wednesday charged that she was raped repeatedly by federal police while being held in jail.
The public prosecutor's office and the Brazilian Bar Association are investigating how Trevi got pregnant in jail, and it was not clear if she would be extradited now or called on to testify in the investigations or before congress.
Federal police claim Trevi artificially inseminated herself while in prison in an attempt to stay in the country. Trevi can be extradited even if her child is born in Brazil.

World AIDS Day emphasizes vigilance
By Brent Briggeman Kansan staff writer
in the time it takes for one 60 minute class period, 625 people will be infected with HIV.
In the United States alone, more than 100 people are infected with the disease every day; half of those people are under the age of 25.
Local organizers of the 14th annual World AIDS Day, which takes place on Dec.1, hope to curb these alarming numbers through education. The Douglas County AIDS Project and Watkins Memorial Health Center will work together to bring attention to the epidemic and answer questions.
The theme of this year's World AIDS Day is "I Care ... Do You? Youth and AIDS in the 21st Century."
Bill Smith, Watkins health educator, said the message needed to be reiterated to students.
"With the advances in medications, it seems that people don't take the disease as seriously as they used to." said Smith, adding
that one in 500 college students carries the disease. "That's unfortunate, because the medications are great and are helping to prolong lives, but nobody seems to know about the side effects, and there is still no cure to HIV and AIDS."
Smith will assistataninformation table from 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. today in the
Kansas Union. Volunteers will be downtown from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow at Ninth and Massachusetts streets handing out red ribbons and hot chocolate.
The Campanile will sound its bell 20 times at 1 p.m. Local churches will join in the ringing of the bells. The 20 rings symbolize
the number of years the world has been fighting AIDS.
On Sunday, Douglas County AIDS Project will have the ninth annual Red Ribbon Art Auction at the Marriott's SpringHill Suites in Lawrence's Riverfront Plaza, Sixth and New Hampshire streets. A preview with hors d'oeuvres and drinks begins
the live auction beginning at 7 p.m.
The organization hopes to raise $12,000 from the event.
"Like a lot of nonprofit organizations, we've really taken a hit since Sept. 11," said David Morrissey, office administrator for the AIDS project. "There is a lot of competition for charity money now, so we can use all the help we can get."
The Spencer Museum of Art will display the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. This year's event will feature quilts made in memory of Greg Barker, KU alumnus and former employee of the KU Libraries, and Robert Granberg, a former KU professor.
The Spencer Museum display began on Nov. 17 and will continue through Sunday, Dec. 9.
John Roth, Queers and Allies co-director and Honolulu junior, said the group supported the activities but would not be participating.

Donation creates new business professorship
843-1116
2411 Cedarwood Ave.
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
The School of Business gained an endowed professorship yesterday when the Capitol Federal Foundation announced a $2 million donation.
The professorship will emphasize studies and research relating to financial markets and institutions, which Jack Dicus, chairman of the foundation and a trustee of the University of Kansas Endowment Association, said were important to Capitol Federal and the state.
The professorship will be a new faculty position in the school and will be filled by a professor who will teach and conduct research about finance.
"If the KU First program is successful, and I think it will be successful, a whole lot of good things will happen in the state and in our region," Dicus said.
The donation is the largest in the two-year history of the foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Topeka-based Capitol Federal Savings Bank. The foundation
has assets of about $37 million.
Dicus said his organization was excited by the atmosphere at the University of Kansas.
A commitment from the state legislature influenced the foundation's decision to contribute to the University's capital campaign. The Kansas Partnership for Faculty of Distinction, approved last year, offers a contribution of state money that matches the interest
"There is a real emphasis on excellence," Dicus said, "and we see that in the business school and in the chancellor."
earned from professorship funds.
Bill Fuerst, dean of business said the finance professorship would benefit the faculty.
"It will bring some new expertise to our faculty and further enhance the educational opportunities for our students," he said.
The KU First campaign is the largest fund-raising campaign in KU history, with the goal of raising $500 million by 2004.
The campaign has raised about $300 million to date.

U.S. must re-evaluate stance on sanctity of human life
It's time to examine the international community's position, backed by countless organizations such as Amnesty International, the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights, the International Court of Justice, the United Nations, and others, on the most fundamental and contentious of human rights: the right to life.
The right to life seems unquestionable to me. It's something human beings are endowed with. It should be carefully and consciously protected.
cautiously and covertly. Thirty-eight U.S. states have the death penalty, deemed constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1976. So maddening is the fact that a system that "has proven so fraught with error," as Illinois Gov. George Ryan aptly said, still presumes to have the authority to take a life.
Moreover, Ryan declared a moratorium on executions in Illinois last year, following the exoneration of a death row prisoner found to have been wrongfully convicted. This scares supporters and opposers, Democrats and Republicans — the words "irreparable mistake." It sure as heck scares me.
And mistakes are made. Since 1973, more than 90 U.S. prisoners have been released from death row after their innocence was proven.
The past decade has seen a number of watershed changes across the board and across the world toward abolishing the death penalty. Currently,109 countries have abolished the death penalty in law or practice.
On Dec. 18, 2000, Kofi Annan, secretary-general of the U.N., was presented with a petition for a worldwide moratorium on the death penalty. More than 3 million people from 146 countries and representing all the world's main religions signed the petition. Said Annan, "The forfeiture of life is too absolute, too irreversible, for one human being to inflict on another."
Commentary
Ambereen
Shaffie
Guest columnist
opinionakansan.com
In criminal cases where the victim is white,the defendant is four times more likely to receive the death penalty than in cases where the victim is a minority.
The U.N. leader echoed what much of the international community has been saying for years. The United States simply hasn't caught up yet.
But we're trying, aren't we? The courts publish protocols, present reforms to committees and boards to try to fix the problems. In spite of reform, massive human rights violations occur. For example, in criminal cases where
the victim is white, the defendant is four times more likely to receive the death penalty than in cases where the victim is a minority. The enforcement of the penalty is not blind. Women, juveniles and the mentally ill have all been legally executed by the state.
The only solution, which 109 countries have agreed on unanimously, is to abolish the concept altogether and accept that there will always be a margin of human error.
Why are we superciliously eager to condemn other countries for atrocities like public execution when we support it in the United States? Why do our hearts go out to the starving, delinquent children of other countries when our system reserves the right to execute juveniles?
Our platform for human rights falls short on home soil.
In opposing the death penalty, organizations like Amnesty International don't condone the crimes or seek to lessen punishment. They see it as their job to speak up when rights, our fundamental rights, are abused.
I was not an avid opponent of the death penalty, until I researched and discovered its flaws. I am not an activist, but it's important to me to be conscientious of the problems and issues in this society. Now is a good time to get informed about the issue. No one has to be an activist. But the idea that a birthright is not being carefully guarded should be enough to provoke anyone who asserts his or her right to life.

PERSPECTIVE
Best response is to defend America, not change it
In the wake of the worst terrorist attacks against the United States ever, we should refrain from self-defeating sentiments and instead consider rationally why this has happened and how we should respond. We should not look to reduce the openness and freedom of our society and we should recognize that the root cause of this kind of terrorism lies in our government's activities in the world.

I went to class today and heard discouraging comments from students and friends. I heard statements such as: "Our society is too open," and "The problem is that anyone can buy anything." I also heard students calling for an increased U.S. military presence in the world. These reactions are seriously misguided and counterproductive.
Living in a free society is not without costs. One of the costs is the fact that one cannot always predict and control what others do. This can lead to a certain level of uncertainty and even a reduced level of safety. But anyone who truly values freedom gladly accepts this trade-off.
Commentary
if we react to this tragedy by moving to reduce our own freedoms — the freedom

of movement, privacy, and the economic freedom to obtain and exchange goods — then we are further fulfilling the terrorists' objectives by victimizing ourselves. No amount of security measures can prevent such attacks. If one is willing to take his own life to destroy others, in the end, there is no stopping him or others like him from achieving terror.
Though terrorist actions have a profound psychological effect, they are rare. One's chances of dying in a terrorist attack are many times smaller than one's chances of dying in a car accident. Should we ban cars? Should we allow police to randomly stop motorists to search for potentially distracting items? This analogy may seem ridiculous, and it
Instead of making a knee-jerk response to terrorism, we should consider it's root causes. The root cause of the actions of terrorists such as Osama bin Laden is animosity deriving from what is perceived as American imperialism. They hate the influence of American products and ideas because they conflict with their ideal of a repressive and theocratic regime. They also are unified against our government's political and military activities in the world.
is admittedly not perfectly valid, but the point is that one should evaluate possible reactions to terrorism in rational perspective.
We should continue to increase the freedom of American countries to trade with the world. Through the free flow of American products and ideas, the regimes that support terrorists are naturally undermined by their own people. Our government's political and military actions only serve to unify support for such regimes. For too long, our government has meddled extensively in the affairs of other nations and peoples. If we choose to be the world's policeman, then
we must accept that we will receive backlash as a nation. And often, we directly create our own enemies. Osama bin Laden, for example, received CIA training.
We should reassess our government's role in the world. Instead of actively manipulating foreign conflicts to serve our purposes or attempting to artificially resolve ethnic and national conflicts, our government should act with more humility, and less strong-arming.
This does not mean that we should isolate ourselves or ignore vital national security risks. In this case we should utilize our intelligence gathering capabilities to find those responsible for this or any other terrorist attack against our nation and then swiftly destroy them. But our goal should be to interact with the world more civilly and less politically. The interdependence fostered through free trade and exchange is more stable and more peaceful than the shackles of political and military domination.

The result is an exhibit,
"Unknown Photographic Work."
which opens today at WestLicht,
Exhibit reveals historic pictures
for repeat.
"I was really astonished. I thought it was unbelievable," said shop owner Peter Coeln, who asked to see Peschke's 400 vintage Schmutzer prints.
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — Matthias Peschke saw nothing special in the photographs taken by his grandfather Ferdinand Schmutzer and his etched portraits of Freud and Einstein hanging on the walls of his Vienna home. For more than 70 years, photos and negatives of Einstein and Freud remained tucked away in the Peschke home, stored in an unused room.
About a year ago, while renovating his grandfather's old studio, Peschke took four of Schmutzer's old cameras, including a wooden field model made in 1896, to a camera shop for repair.
Coeln's Vienna gallery. The show runs through Feb. 24.
Besides Freud and Einstein, Schmutzer photographed prominent artists, musicians and art patrons, including writer Arthur Schnitzler, composer Richard Strauss and cellist Pablo Casals. The artist also etched official portraits of the last German emperor, William II, and the last Austrian emperor, Karl I.
According to Anna Auer, the show's curator, Schmutzer, who died in 1928, took the photos and then used them as models for his etchings — his artistic specialty.
Coeln said that because people were posing for what would later be an etching, they came across as natural and relaxed.
The collection, which includes 15 never before displayed photos of the camera-shy Freud, has both artistic and historical value. Coeln said.
"Fred hated to be photographed, and there are only
about 100 photos of him in existence," he said.
In 1926, Freud wrote to Schmutzer to thank him for the portrait, which is exhibited next to several of his photos. "I would like to thank you for the effort you made in reproducing my unappealing face and to repeat my assurance that now do I feel preserved for posterity," Freud wrote.
Although there are no immediate plans to tour the collection, Peschke said he hoped the pictures could be shown next in New York or London, where are many descendants of Austrians who fled during the Nazi occupation.
The photographs are also a painful reminder of a lost world, Peschke said.
"The children of Jews who were forced to leave Vienna can see their roots in these pictures," he said.

And KU's go-to guy will be...
People in Lawrence are thinking about football,not basketball.Kansas is playing No.4 Arizona tomorrow,and all anyone wants to talk about is the coaching search.
Al Bohl's got us all thinking football now, but how long will that last? Maybe a long time, if the Kansas athletics director hires the right man.
Here's a list of coaches who are thought to be considered: Alabama's Dennis Franchione, Fresno State's Pat Hill, former Ohio State coach John Cooper, Kansas State assistant Phil Bennett, Oklahoma assistants Mike Stoops and Mark Mangino, Michigan State assistant Bill Miller, former Oklahoma coach and Louisiana State assistant Gary Gibbs, South Carolina assistant Charlie Strong, South Florida's Jim Leavitt, Western Michigan's Gary Darnell, Marshall's Bob Pruett and Kansas' interim coach Tom Hayes.
Let's work through it. Cross Hill off because it's too obvious a selection.
That's a long list. Too long, actually You can bet half of those 13 people aren't on Bohl's short list right now.
It won't be Cooper because Bohl wants a young guy with gumption. Bennett is more interested in the vacant Southern Methodist position
he's got family in Dallas.
Stoops has said he didn't want the job, and it was not likely he would be hired anyway. If Stoops were hired he might have the team winning in two years, but he would be gone in three. Bohl does not want to go through this process again that soon.
We're down to nine now and that's still too many. We can cut Darnell because his team slipped to 5-6 this year. Gibbs won't get the job because Bohl can't hire a Big Eight retread. It's not going to be Miller because he doesn't have name recognition — something Kansas needs — in this part of the country. Forget about Leavitt, who has done an impressive job starting South Florida's program from scratch, because, like Miller, he isn't a known commodity.
Despite player approval, Hayes won't get the job. On paper he's as good a candidate as any, but there's no chance anyone associated with Terry Allen will get this job.
Mangino, Sutogu
Franchione is the sexy pick. He's from Kansas and is in his first year at Alabama after turning around a moribund Texas Christian program in four years. It would take $1 million for Kansas to buy him out of his contract.
That leaves us with Franchione,
Mangino, Strong and Pruett.
Mangino, who spent time at Kansas State before going to Oklahoma, is a name that people know and would get excited about. Strong has learned under one of the best in college football, Lou Holtz. At South Carolina, Strong coordinated the sixth-best scoring defense in the country this year.
country the team is 10-1 this year, and he's 58-9 in five years at Marshall, a member of the Mid-American Conference.
ference.
Any of those four would be a good fit. A handful of people know who the front-runners are. The rest of will have to wait and might find out who the new football coach—and Athletics Department savior—will be at halftime of the Kansas-Wake Forest basketball game Tuesday night. The national media will already be here for the basketball game.

Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich looks for an entry pass as Pittsburg State guard Kurtis Howey defends. Hinrich's task tomorrow will be a more formidable one as the 6-foot-3 forward faces either 6-8 junior Luke Walton or 6-9 junior Rick Anderson of the No. 3 Arizona Wildcats at Tucson.
Challenge on the road
Jayhawks hope to halt Arizona's three-game winning streak
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
The game to be played on Dec. 1 didn't exactly strike fear into Drew Gooden when the junior forward first analyzed this season's Kansas basketball schedule.
Gooden knew the Jayhawks would travel to Arizona for their first true road test of the season. But the Wildcats were unranked at the time and searching for a way to replace four missing starters.
Now three weeks into the season, Arizona has unexpectedly shocked Gooden and the rest of the college basketball world by sprinting out to a 3-0 record and jumping to No.4 in The Associated Press Poll.
No. 8 Kansas and Arizona will battle at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow in McKale Center in Tucson. The Jayhawks will look to
end Arizona's three-game winning streak in which the Wildcats have faced three ranked teams away from home and defeated them all.
"They play with a lot of toughness and a lot of heart," Gooden said. "It says a lot about their team if they could not be ranked in the Top 25 and three weeks into the season they're ranked third (in the ESPN/USA Today poll) in the nation."
With opening-season victories against ranked teams Maryland, Florida and Texas, coach Lute Olson's Wildcats have solidified their place as one of the top five teams in the country. Gooden said he hoped a victory tomorrow would do the same for Kansas.
would do the same.
"This game is a big test for us," Gooden said. "We lost our first game to Ball State, and that was tough. I think that is a game to redeem ourselves and see where we stand in the polls. It's a big-time game for us."
this year following its national runner-up finish last season. But the Wildcats lost starters Gilbert Arenas, Loren Woods, Richard Jefferson and Michael Wright to graduation and early-entry into the NBA draft.
waiton of 0-3 jumps.
"Rebounding will be a big thing," said Kansas freshman Keith Langford. "It's a big thing every game. We just need to box out. A lot of times when a guy that's taller sees a 6-4 guy guarding him, he'll try to jump over his back."
Starting point guard junior Jason Gardner leads an Arizona attack that features three players 6-foot-8 or taller. Kansas' short, three-guard lineup will be tested for the first time tomorrow. Kansas junior guard Kirk Hinrich is 6-3 and the third tallest starter for Kansas. He will start the game guarding either 6-8 junior Luke Walton or 6-9 junior Rick Anderson.
Arizona had high expectations for

Arizona's strong start a surprise
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
All three games were away from home.
Unranked in the preseason polls, the Arizona men's basketball team rose to No.4 in The Associated Press Top 25 Poll after beating nationally ranked opponents Maryland, Florida and Texas.
When Kansas travels to Arizona tomorrow, it will be the Wildcats' fourth straight game against a ranked opponent and the eighth straight dating back to last season — but their first game at home.
Arizona's difficult schedule is not surprising because of the program's winning history. But the Wildcats' perfect record so far this season has been a surprise, considering the team had lost four starters.
Arizona coach Lute Wilson and Kansas coach Roy Williams have discussed this, Williams said.
"They are a very, very good basketball team, and yet Lute himself says they've already surprised him with what they've accomplished here," Williams said.
Arizona returns only one starter from last season's national championship runner-up team. Junior guard Jason Gardner started in last year's championship game and has evolved into the leader of this year's very young team.
"I've mentioned before I don't think we've had a point guard put together three games in succession against quality opponents like Jason has," Olson said. "We've had great guards in this program, but when you look at the shooting percentage, the shots he's hit and the leadership he has had to display on the court with so many young guys, Jason has been fantastic."
Gardner averaged 24.7 points, five assists and 4.7 rebounds in the Wildcats first three victories and was named the Pac-10 player of the week.
Juniors Luke Walton and Rick Anderson and freshmen Salim Stoudamire and Isaiah Fox join Gardner in the starting line-up. The freshmen are crucial to the team's success, but they have the benefit of experienced players around them.
"That has probably been the biggest surprise, is how our young guys have responded at Texas and Madison Square Garden," Olson said. "I'll say the big reason for that is the leadership of the juniors."

Women shooting for rebound at home

The Kansas women's basketball team hopes to end its worst season start in more than a decade this weekend.
Kansas will work on improving at 7:05 tonight against Alabama State (1-0), a team it is facing for the first time. In Alabama's last game, six players reached double digits. The Jayhawks, who have held opponents to 36.5 percent from the field in the first five games, may have to alter their defensive plans.
"Offensively, we need to be more aggressive," Washington said. "Aggression is something we will need to improve on."
The Jayhawks (2-3) hope to take advantage of their home court as they play in the 2001 Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic at Allen Fieldhouse this weekend. Kansas will try to find the win column and stop the skid that is the team's worst start since the 1983-84 season when it began 2-5.
Since 1996, the Jayhawks have won four of the last five Classics. Kansas coach Marian Washington understands that her team must fire power on offense.
"Defense has to be something we strengthen," Washington said. "We may have to play more zone. That has been our main defensive stay."
Depending on the outcome of their first game, the Jayhawks could play either Oregon (2-3) or St. John's (1-4) in tomorrow's game. Kansas has overall records of 2-0

slowly coming together. "The problem with our rotation is that you need eight players, and we are still so young." Washington said. "We've got somewhat of a rotation in place, but we need some more consistency."
Through five games, seniors have dominated for the Jayhawks. Guard Selena Scott leads Kansas in scoring per game with 13.6 and was named to the San Juan Shootout all-tournament team as she averaged 17.7 points in the three-day tournament. Guard/forward K.C. Hilgenkamp is second in scoring with 11 points per game and first in assists with 3.2 per game. Center Kristin Geoffroy has a team-best 54.9 field goal percentage and leads Kansas in blocks with five per game. Nikki White, who shares time with Geoffroy and has started the last two games, averages 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.
against Oregon and 1-0 against St. John's. Washington said that her rotation was slowly coming together.
"I don't think it's always going to be the same people who have all the points and all the rebounds," Geoffroy said. "We're going to see various versions of it throughout the season."

Coach pursuit focuses on great recruiters
"There won't be a coach that we entertain that won't be a great recruiter," Bohl said. "And we're starting to get a clearer picture of what we want."
The first-year Kansas athletics director said the Jayhawks' next football coach would thrive at luring talent.
week, but his wife mentioned that her husband was satisfied with his job at Nebraska.
Al Bohl has not said who he wants, but he has said what he wants.

Bohl has assembled a 16-person panel to assist him in landing the coach who will attempt to free the Jayhawks from college football mediocrity. Kansas has not had a winning season since 1995.
Names linked to the job have been swirling around Lawrence for weeks since interim coach Tom Hayes replaced Terry Allen, who was fired Nov. 4. Turner Gill, the quarterbacks coach for No. 6 Nebraska, is the latest coach to have severed ties with the search. Gill joined former Ohio State coach John Cooper and Oklahoma co-defensive coordinator Mike Stoops as being eliminated from the search.
The Kansas City Star reported Wednesday that Gill had no interest in the vacancy. He was on the road recruiting for Nebraska earlier this
While three names have dropped off the search list, two new candidates have surfaced: Mark Mangino, the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma, and Charlie Strong, the defensive coordinator at South Carolina.
Mangino was a Kansas State assistant coach for eight seasons before joining Bob Stoops' Sooners staff in 1999. Mangino helped develop Josh Heupel, the ex-Sooners quarterback who was the centerpiece of last year's national championship team.
Strong directs the No. 6 defense in the country. He has had stints with Florida and Mississippi in the Southeastern Conference. According to The Star, Strong already has interviewed with California and Vanderbilt about their coaching vacancies.
But of the eight Division I football teams that have yet to name a permanent coach, Bohl said he thought that Kansas was as attractive to prospective coaches as any in the field.
"The reason so many good people are involved in the search is that we have the ingredients to produce a very successful football program," he said
